• Global Objects: Towards a Connected Art History

  Jun 4

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  Loria Center | Room: 351 — 190 York St.

  Edward S. Cooke, Jr. '77, Charles F. Montgomery Professor of American Decorative Arts

  Avoiding traditional binaries such as East versus West or fine art versus decorative art and prioritizing transregional flow over stylistic categorization, this lecture sketches in the principles of a new art history survey course. The principles of this object-driven approach draw on in-depth analysis of the materials, process of realization, function, social lives, and experienced meaning of clay, fiber, wood, and base metals. Transcending nation state and temporal boundaries, this conceptualization points the way to a fresh interconnected global history of art.

  Rabbi Jason Rubenstein, Howard M. Holtzmann Jewish Chaplain at Yale
  This session will explore the tensions surrounding the present day embrace of Ukrainian nationalism, from the vantage point of Jewish memory and persecution - moving beyond the simple command to "remember" to a dialectical approach that encompasses the value both of holding fast to the past, and being able to move beyond it.

• The Second Quantum Revolution and the Race to Build "Impossible" Computers

  Jun 4

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  Loria Center | Room: 250 — 190 York St.

  Steven Girvin, Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics & Professor of Applied Physics

  The first quantum revolution began a century ago and brought us the technological revolution of the 20th century through the invention of the transistor, the laser, and the atomic clock. We now understand that these 20th century devices do not take full advantage of the mysterious power of quantum machines to process information. This new understanding has triggered a second quantum revolution whose consequences for computing, communication and measurement have the potential to be as great a revolution for the 21st century as the tech revolution was for the 20th century.
