The Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention (I-GMAP) will present a free webinar detailing a policy report developed during the "Safer Havens" workshop at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18 via Zoom.
The "Safer Havens" workshop was the first in a series of three planned conferences held in countries coping with large displaced populations. This long-term research, advocacy and convening project aims to identify better practices for coordination between state and civil society organizations in global atrocity prevention.
Presenters include Eugenia Carbone, director of the Latin American Program of AIPG; Anna María Díaz, president of Coalition for Venezuela; Maritza Mosquera Palacio, secretary of social integration of the Mayor's Office of Bogotá; and Max Pensky, co-director of I-GMAP.
Simultaneous English-Spanish interpretation will be provided. Click the link below to learn more or RSVP.

"The Waiting Water" addresses one of the most recurrent and troubling motifs in German Realist literature — death by drowning. Characters find themselves before bodies of water, presented with the familiar realm above the surface and the unobservable, uncanny domain beneath it. With somber regularity, they then disappear into the depths. Alexander Sorenson explores the role that these hidden deaths in water play within a literary movement that set out precisely to reveal universal truths about human life. The poetics of submergence, he argues, revolve around two concepts fundamental to Poetic Realism — order and sacrifice.
Focusing on texts by Adalbert Stifter, Gottfried Keller, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach and Theodor Storm, along with material from earlier and later epochs, "The Waiting Water" shows that the pervasive symbolism of drowning scenes in German Realism, which typically occur in zones of narrative invisibility on the social periphery, reveals the extent to which realist narrative uses the natural environment to work through deeply embedded and hidden tensions that troubled the social and moral life of the age.

Condensed living systems often exhibit adaptive morphologies and mechanical properties that enable functions such as growth and localized strengthening. One such class of living materials is fire ant aggregations. These transient networks form when ants reversibly link together into buoyant raft structures to survive floods. We find that, when left alone, these rafts change shape ceaselessly over the span of several hours, often growing and resorbing tether-like protrusions that colonies can use as land-bridges to escape water. In contrast, we find that externally loaded ant rafts resist flow even at relatively slow strain rates, which may prolong colony unification in response to environmental conditions such as waves or water currents. In both cases, these collective behaviors emerge from the local interaction and bond properties between ants comprising the network. However, experimentally isolating and interrogating the properties of individual ant-to-ant interactions under native conditions is intractable. Therefore, we instead employ a combination of agent-based modeling and computational network mechanics that let us hypothesize and test local-to-global property relations. These models not only elucidate possible causes for the cooperative behaviors observed in ant rafts, but also extrapolate principles that could potentially guide engineered material and swarm robotics design in the future.

Homelands: Contemporary Haudenosaunee Art Across New York unites multigenerational Haudenosaunee artists and knowledge holders who center their historical relationship and reciprocity to the land, air, and waters across New York State. Working through diverse practices including photography, painting, sculpture, basketry, beadwork and documentary, the landscape is not a backdrop, but integral to Haudenosaunee culture and lived experience, which is woven into the work. The exhibition serves as a visual form of Indigenous knowledge sharing. It reclaims space and history through art, inviting visitors to reconnect with the land beneath their feet. Guest curated by Luanne Redeye (Seneca), Assistant Professor, Department of Art Practice, University of California, Berkeley.
This project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional assistance provided by Joshua DeMarree and the E.W. Heier Teaching and Research Greenhouses, and the Binghamton Native American and Indigenous Studies Working Group.
