November 14  15, 2015: Syntax-Semantics Interface (LIN4) Relative Clause Workshop
PSB 401, Cornell University 
This workshop will bring specialists from the region, Canada, and Japan to discuss the topic of prehead relative clauses: relative clauses that precede the noun they modify. This syntactic pattern is found widely across the languages of the world, but in most of the languages of East Asia it is the only pattern. Relative clauses of this type have long raised  questions from the standpoint of natural language processing as well as syntactic theory. Participants will include specialists in computational and experimental linguistics as well as syntax.  Invited speakers for the workshop will include C.-T. James Huang (Harvard University), Chung-hye Han (Simon Fraser University), Anna Bugaeva (National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics), and Iku Nagasaki (National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics).

October 24, 2015: Nineteenth Century Studies (LLC6) Victorian Interventions
While taking as their objects very different aspects of Victorian culture, recent books by Professors Supritha Rajan and Elisha Cohn both make important interventions into the field of Victorian Studies by bringing together discourses long thought antithetical to one another and showing how a submerged discourse or impulse actually plays a constitutive role in a field where it has seemed alien, if not anathema.  Professor Rajan examines the discourses of the sacred that are threaded through the emergent nineteenth-century discourses of political economy, while Professor Cohn examines “lyric” moments—moments of suspended consciousness—that trouble the teleological bildung of the Victorian novel. Registration required.
10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., 307 Tolley Humanities Building, Syracuse University

March 7 2015: Biopolitics (PHI6) Workshop New Directions 
Biopolitics as a contemporary object of study and an analytic framework has proliferated in multiple discursive fields in the humanities and social sciences. This proliferation far outweighs the initial articulation of the concept in Michel Foucault’s 1970s lectures. Thus, Biopolitics is often used in contradictory ways to refer to questions as heterogeneous as the war on terror, the female reproductive body, neoliberalism, the human genome project, and the prison industrial complex. With the publication in 2011 of Francois Debrix and Alexander Barder's Beyond Biopolitics: Theory, Violence, and Horror in World Politics and Patricia Ticineto Clough and Craig Willse’s Beyond Biopolitics: Essays on the Governance of Life and Death, some consider the concept to have been exhausted in earlier accounts, theses, and provocations. Taking seriously these moments of joy or anxiety, and building on Gregg Lambert’s initiative “the Society for the Study of Biopolitical Futures,” this workshop seeks to show the richness of investigations still available on Biopolitics. The assigned readings demonstrate, along with Cary Wolfe's Before the Law: Humans and Other Animals in a Biopolitical Frame (2012) and Kevin Attell’s Giorgio Agamben: Beyond the Threshold of Deconstruction (2014), to name only a few, the new directions that  conversations on Biopolitics can take. We seek to participate in charting the future directions of the concept in ways that our colleagues and students across the university working closely or remotely on biopolitics can find thought-provoking. 
9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., AD White House, Cornell University

March 6, 2015: Re-Sounding History (MMH24) Lecture-Demonstration Re-Sounding Macedonia Odglasi's musicians have been playing and researching traditional Macedonian music for many years, working in the field, the archives, and with master musicians and orchestras in both Macedonia and the diaspora. Class, ethnicity, gender and politics shaped the development of distinct musical genres in Macedonian communities inside and outside of the present political borders, and Odglasi excels at presenting the unique phrasing, rhythm and energy of these different repertoires. Every band member brings a different research/musicianship perspective to their performance, and to their lecture/workshop/performance work.
