SUMMARY:History of modern mathematics: a conversation
DESCRIPTION:This is a joint event of the School of Mathematics\, IAS\, the AIHS-IAGS\, and the International Commission for the History of Mathematics at the Division for the History of Science and Technology. \nVolker Remmert ahnde Rebecca Waldecker präsent a talk about teeirr recent research project entitled “Big Mathematics? The Classification of the Finite Simple Groups\, 1950s  1980”. \nThe talk is followed by a panel discussion on history of mathematics moderated by Alma Steingat. \nThe panelists are the two presenters and Helmut Hofer and Akshay Venkatesh. \nTalk abstract: The Classification of Finite Simple Groups (CFSG)\, also known as the enormous theorem\, is a highlight of 20th-century mathematics\, both with respect to its mathematical content and to the complex process of proving the result. From a historical perspective\, it offers an excellent opportunity to focus on more general developments in the history of 20th-century mathematics\, such as changing perceptions of what a mathematical proof is\, the character and the many contexts of mathematics as an intergenerational and international collaborative enterprise\, and the impact of Cold War research policies on CFSG/pure mathematics. We consider the CFSG as (possibly) the first instant of what we tentatively call big mathematics in this project. The existing proof of the CFSG is estimated to be spread on somewhere between 10.000 and 15.000 journal pages in ca. 500 separate articles written by more than 100 mathematicians. The unprecedented nature of this enterprise from the 1950s until the 1980s is quite tangible: the extraordinarily large number of mathematicians involved internationally (working as a team)\, the difficulty and complexity of the problem\, the use of computers within the proof\, the effect of the Cold War on CFSG/pure mathematics (e.g. via new funding possibilities by both civil and military agencies). The history of CFSG has to be studied as a key example of the impact of politics on research in pure mathematics in the Cold War\, namely via new possibilities of funding research in general and of mathematical research in particular\, a largely unexplored territory\, but crucial for CFSG. The historical analysis will be guided by three themes: suitability of big mathematics as an analytical concept\, the role of self-historicization in CFSG\, and the changing nature of proof in mathematics in the second half of the 20th century. \nAbout the panel discussion: There is much opportunity for collaboration between mathematicians and historians to examine together the recent history of mathematics. The practice of mathematics has changed greatly over the course of the twentieth century\, and even more rapidly in recent years with the rise of computing and the internet. A deeper understanding of how cultural\, intellectual\, political\, and social factors have interacted with and shaped the recent evolution of the discipline would be valuable both as intellectual history\, and to inform the way mathematicians themselves think about their subject and anticipate to its future. This panel will look at the difficulties and possibilities of such collaborative historical work. \nFor online attendance\, please register at https://www.ias.edu/math/events/historymodern-mathematics-conversation \nThe indicated  time given is EST!

SUMMARY:Cintia Velázquez Marroni: From Natural History to Environmental History: Displacements in Mexican Museums and the Heritage Sector.
DESCRIPTION:https://zoom.us/j/91255064760?pwd=TlRpeXZPaWVMbGx3Q2tTSi9SU2dZUT09 \n  \nAbstract: \nA look at Mexican museums and other “heritage apparatuses” in the last 200 years will show a series of spatial\, conceptual\, material and institutional displacements as regards their understanding of and relationship with the environment. These understandings range from the early visions derived from natural history to the more contemporary approaches\, which\, as I argue\, can be placed under the interdisciplinary umbrella term of environmental humanities. Through an object-based approach of five case studies in Mexico City (including some located in museums and some others outside of them)\, the presentation will discuss issues of human/non-human relationships\, conservation\, value\, historical change\, identity and loss\, all of which are daily features of life in times of planetary collapse. In analyzing these local cases\, I will show the connections and disconnections that they hold with the national\, regional and global scales\, thus potentially opening new strands for action and thinking. \nShort Bio: \nFull time lecturer and researcher at Mora Institute (Instituto de Investigaciones Dr. José María Luis Mora). She is Doctor in Museum Studies by the University of Leicester\, UK\, Master in Museology by the National School of Conservation\, Restoration and Museography (ENCRyM-INAH)\, and Bachelor of History by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). In both 2011 and 2016 she won the Miguel Covarrubias National Prize awarded by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH). As a museum practitioner\, she performed in outreach\, learning and curatorial roles at the Tlatelolco University Cultural Centre (UNAM) and as freelance for exhibition design firms. Cintia was Editor-in-Chief of Museological Review (School of Museum Studies\, Leicester) and of Intervención. International Journal of Conservation\, Restoration and Museology (ENCRYM-INAH). She was principal researcher of the biannual project “Objects of dialogue: collections\, contemporary issues and organizational change in Mexican museums” which was awarded a major grant by Mexico’s Research Council (Conahcyt). She has published in Museum Management and Curatorship\, Latin American and LatinX Visual Culture and The Public Historian\, as well as in Routledge readers on Heritage\, Museum Studies\, and Environmental History. Cintia’s main academic interests lie at the intersection of environmental humanities\, critical heritage studies and museology\, including (but not limited to): institutional histories of museums and the heritage sector; cultural infrastructure and heritage in the city; curatorship and material culture; natural/cultural heritage entanglements; as well as post-humanism and multispecies thinking. She can (still!) be found on X with the handle: @civema. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Monday Colloquium\, Deutsches Museum\, Munich
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This paper will consider how digital tools and visualisations may offer ways of revealing and communicating the imperial and colonial histories implicit within datasets relating to scientific instrument collections. While the extent to which instruments were involved in the processes of colonisation is well known to historians\, and the individual histories of a few have been mapped by curators to illustrate key stories\, there remains a disconnect between this work and the often-minimal information contained in collection databases. By providing ways of working at scale across extant datasets\, and of creating and linking to new ones\, it becomes possible to quantify and visualise data points to reveal new or potential connections. While it is essential to be aware of past assumptions and absences within these datasets\, they can also include telling details\, including locations (of manufacture\, acquisition\, repair or use); materials (such as those produced in and extracted from colonised places); or associations (individual or institutional). Examples considered\, drawing on proof-of-concept work undertaken within the Tools of Knowledge project\, will include the use of digital mapping and Name Entity Recognition on collections data; digital analysis of text corpora to reveal associations between instrument types and people\, activities\, events and places; and the visualisation of the itineraries of chronometers in the long 19th century revealed through crowdsourced transcription of the Admiralty Chronometer Ledgers held at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. \nBio: Rebekah Higgitt is a historian of science and Principal Curator of Science at National Museums Scotland. She was an Co- and Principal Investigator on the AHRC-funded project ‘Tools of Knowledge: Modelling the Creative Communities of the Scientific Instrument Trade\, 1550-1914’ and her most recent book is Metropolitan Science: London Sites and Cultures of Knowledge and Practice\, c. 1600-1800 (forthcoming 2024).

SUMMARY:DIALOGO: Visuelle Repräsentationen und Animationen in der Embryologie
DESCRIPTION:PD Dr. Jaina Wellmann (Berlin) \nStand die Embryologie im 20. Jahrhundert im Schatten von Molekularbiologie oder Genetik\, findet sich die Entwicklungs-biologie des 21. Jahrhunderts an der Spitze biologischer Forschung. Nicht unerheblich Anteil daran haben Visualisierungstechniken wie in vivo imaging\, livecell animation und eine Mikroskopie\, die mit Hilfe etwa von fluoreszenten Markern Entwicklung im lebenden Organismus\, in Echtzeit und auf molekularer Ebene verfolgen.In meinem Vortrag geht es zum einen um die (visuellen) Technologien und experimentellen Praktiken\, die es ermöglichen\, immer tiefer in die Entwicklung des Lebendigen vorzudringen. Zum anderen geht es um die historische und epistemische Beständigkeit der Fragestellungen\, Konzepte und visuellen Konventionen\, mit denen Entwicklung als Prozess kontinuierlicher Veränderung zu denken und darzustellen ist. \nhttps://unistuttgart.webex.com/unistuttgart/j.php?MTID=mc71492986ba226724fad147edaac8b8f
