Graduate Professional Development Workshops

Are you interested in publicly-engaged scholarship and working with local communities? Please join us for a panel featuring scholars from a variety of disciplines to learn more about their work and suggested best practices. The workshop will acquaint you with a broad array of resources and conversations on the topic of publicly-engaged scholarship and answer any questions you may have.

Co-Sponsored by the Center for the Humanities and Social Sciences, the Commonwealth Institute for Black Studies, the Appalachian Center, and the Center for Equality and Social Justice. Register at https://uky.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0ldOuqqj4sE9J_LsYywrLeKI_nv-I0mh…

Hayden Howard Lecture: How do Partial Differential Equations detect Geometry in Euclidean space?

How do Partial Differential Equations detect Geometry in Euclidean space?

In this talk we will present an area of analysis that is concerned with the relationship between differential operators, the properties of their solutions, and the geometry of the domain on which they are considered. The goal is to highlight how analytic properties of solutions to PDEs determine the geometry of the domain where they are considered. The tools used in this area come from analysis of partial differential equations, harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory.

A native of Colombia, Tatiana Toro received her Ph.D. in Mathematics from Stanford University in 1992. She is well known for her seminal work on the interplay between the geometry of the domains and regularity properties of solutions of elliptic partial differential equations. She was an invited speaker for the Analysis session at the ICM 2010 in Hyderabad, India, and delivered the first annual AMS Mirzakhani Lecture at the Joint Mathematical Meeting in Denver in January 2020. Her list of honors includes Fellow of AMS, Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, Simons Foundation Fellowship, and Alfred Sloan Fellowship. She currently holds the Craig McKibben and Sarah Merner Professorship in Mathematics at University of Washington.

From Stethoscope to Street: Medical Student Pursuing Doctorate in Sociology Researches Pregnancy Health in Rural Areas

By Richard LeComte 

Anna Hansen’s path to an M.D./Ph.D. at the University of Kentucky is taking her into the rural areas of Kentucky, where she is investigating issues surrounding pregnancy and birth. She’s working between her second and third years of medical school to earn a doctorate in sociology – quite an unusual undertaking for a would-be clinician studying in the College of Medicine. 

UK A&S Chemistry Research Leads to Breakthrough in Development of Thermoelectric Devices

By Jenny Wells-Hosley

A research study led by the University of Kentucky Department of Chemistry has discovered a new way to dramatically boost the performance of electrically conductive polymers. The discovery is considered a significant step forward in the development of organic thermoelectric devices, which can convert waste heat into useful electric energy. 

Interdisciplinary Conversation On Anticarceral Feminism

NIETZEL VISITING DISTINGUISHED FACULTY COLLOQUIUM

DR. EMILY THUMA

INTERDISCIPLINARY CONVERSATION ON ANTICARCERAL FEMINISM

The Department of Gender and Women’s Studies invites you to an exciting conversation with Dr. Emily Thuma, author of All Our Trials: Prisons, Policing, and the Feminist Fight to End Violence (University of Illinois Press, 2019) and Assistant Professor of U.S. Politics and Law at The University of Washington, Tacoma. Dr. Lydia Pelot-Hobbs, Assistant Professor of Geography and African American & Africana Studies at University of Kentucky and Dr. Ashley Ruderman-Looff, from the Department of Crime and Justice at U-Mass Dartmouth and an alumna of the University of Kentucky GWS PhD program, will join Dr. Thuma in conversation about the history of anticarceral feminism. They will examine its intersectional emergence from movements for racial and economic justice, prisoners’ and psychiatric patients’ rights, and gender and sexual liberation. This timely conversation is made possible with funds from the Graduate School
