 COVERED THE UNIVERSE:\nREFLECTIONS FROM TWO GENERATIONS ONWARD_\n\nCecilia
  Payne-Gaposchkin (1900–1979) is one of the twentieth\ncentury’s most cele
 brated astronomers\, whose role as a “woman in\nscience” is gaining increa
 sed attention both within the academy and\noutside of it. In 'Stellar Atmo
 spheres'\, her famous Harvard doctoral\nthesis of 1925\, Payne-Gaposchkin 
 established that\, contrary to\nscientific opinion\, hydrogen and helium w
 ere the most abundant\nelements in the universe– effectively “discovering 
 the nature of\nthe universe.”  In both her professional and private life\,
 \nPayne-Gaposchkin broke and exceeded most expectations. Even if she\nhold
 s the rank of the first woman at Harvard to receive tenure\,\nhowever\, it
  is still commonly held that the university and the\nprofession in general
  were too slow to recognize and reward the\nmagnitude of her contributions
 . Her granddaughter\, M. Cecilia\nGaposchkin\, Willis F. Doney Member in t
 he School of Historical\nStudies\, will talk about her namesake’s life and
  contributions from\nthe perspective of family memory and personal legacy.

 IENDS DINNER WITH CHRIS HAMILTON\nWEDNESDAY\, MARCH 25\, 2026\nSIMONS HALL
  | DILWORTH ROOM\n5:45 P.M.–6:15 P.M. | DINNER AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVE
 RY\n6:20 P.M. | PROGRAM START\n\nSpiral structure is one of the most beaut
 iful and striking aspects of\ngalaxies like the Milky Way. It has fascinat
 ed astronomers and\nastrophysicists since the first spiral arms were disco
 vered by William\nParsons\, third Earl of Rosse\, in 1845. Yet–more than 1
 60 years\nlater–we still have only a partial understanding of why spirals
 \narise\, how long they live\, and what they are really telling us about\n
 galaxies\, gravity\, and dark matter. In this talk Chris Hamilton\, John\n
 N. Bahcall Fellow in the School of Natural Sciences\, will discuss the\ncu
 rrent state of the field in spiral galaxy observations with the\nJames Web
 b Space Telescope. He will then introduce the paradigmatic\ntheories that 
 were developed in the 1960s to explain spiral behavior\nbut remain contest
 ed today. Finally\, Chris will discuss recent work\nthat unifies many of t
 hese theories into a single mathematical\nframework\, and speculate on wha
 t the next few years—or indeed the\nnext 160—might bring.\n\nTo learn more

  \nBOOK TALK WITH MATTHEW L. KEEGAN\n_BEFORE WORLD LITERATURE: THE TRICKST
 ER TALES OF AL-ḤARĪRĪ IN AN\nAGE OF COMMENTARY_\nTUESDAY\, MARCH 31\, 2026
  | 3:30 P.M.–5:00 P.M.\nRUBENSTEIN COMMONS | MEETING ROOM 5\n\nMatthew L. 
 Keegan\, Assistant Professor of Asian and Middle Eastern\nCultures at Barn
 ard College and Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Fellow\nMember (2024–25) in th
 e School of Historical Studies\, will present\non his new book _Before Wor
 ld Literature: The Trickster Tales of\nal-Ḥarīrī in an Age of Commentary_.
  The book offers an account\nof Arabic literary history through the lens o
 f the reception of one of\nthe most widely read Arabic texts of the postcl
 assical period:\nthe _Maqāmāt of al-Ḥarīrī_\, a twelfth-century collection
  of\nfifty trickster stories written in an elaborate and highly allusive\n
 form of prose. Keegan shows how the emergence of world literature as a\nli
 terary critical paradigm led to a wholesale reformulation of\nliterary tas
 tes that sidelined elaborately referential texts like\nthe _Maqāmāt_. Rest
 oring the _Maqāmāt_ to its place as the\npinnacle of Arabic style and as a
 n essential text of Islamic education\nfor centuries\, _Before World Liter
 ature_ offers a model of how to\nread texts like the _Maqāmāt_ on their ow
 n terms.\n\n_Before World Literature_ is available for sale through Univer
 sity of\nPennsylvania Press\n[https://www.pennpress.org/9781512828870/befo

 IL 7\, 2026 | 4:00 P.M.\nWOLFENSOHN HALL\n\nArtist Faith Ringgold was comm
 issioned in 1971 to paint a mural for\nthe women’s house on Rikers Island\
 , the large island prison on the\nEast River in New York City. She asked t
 he inmates what they wanted\nfor the mural and was told that they needed t
 o 'see a road out of\nthere.' Ringgold's work became a vision of empowerme
 nt and freedom for\nthe women—but ironically itself became a prisoner.\n 
 \n\nThe film follows the 50-year journey of this whitewashed masterpiece\,
 \n'For the Women's House\,' from Rikers Island to the Brooklyn Museum. A\n
 heartbreaking\, funny\, and true parable for a world without mass\nincarce
 ration\, the film also highlights the story of Ringgold in the\nlast month
 s of her life and her relationship with fellow artist Mary\nEnoch Elizabet
 h Baxter\, who was also commissioned to create artwork\nfor the women on R
 ikers.\n\nAssistive listening devices available on site. Please see a memb

 ON\n5:30 P.M. | TALK\nSIMONS HALL | DILWORTH ROOM\n \n_WHAT IS CHINESE WRI
 TING NOW?: A 1000-YEAR VIEW_\n \nThe emergence of mechanized Chinese writi
 ng in the nineteenth century\nand digital Chinese writing in the twentieth
  posed profound practical\nand conceptual challenges to a writing system w
 hose history spans\nmillennia. The dynamism\, reach\, and efficacy of wood
 block printing\,\nfor example\, gave rise to seemingly irresolvable puzzle
 s: How does one\n“fit” 100\,000 Chinese characters inside Morse Code? How 
 does one\nfit them on typewriter and computer keyboards?\n \nIn confrontin
 g these challenges\, a motley\, transnational throng of\nengineers\, lingu
 ists\, state-builders\, and everyday users did more than\nsolve a series o
 f wicked-hard technical problems. They fashioned an\nentirely new mode of 
 Chinese writing—indeed\, a new way of thinking\nabout writing itself—which
  I call _hypography_: a mode of writing in\nwhich the primary act is no lo
 nger the production of signs in any\nconventional semiotic sense\, but ins
 tead the search for\, selection of\,\nand retrieval of Chinese characters 
 and other glyphs from memory. In\nthe digital age\, the act of “writing Ch
 inese” has become the act\nof “writing symbols with which to _find _Chines
 e characters.'\n \nThis shift coincided with a deeper transformation in th
 e material\nlogic of writing technologies worldwide. Pre-modern modes of\n
 inscription—be they woodblock printing\, calligraphy\, epigraphy\, or\nlit
 hography—all shared at least one thing in common: they all\nfunctioned thr
 ough the addition or subtraction of matter. Ink laid\ndown. Wood gouged ou
 t. Mass augmented or mass reduced. However\,\nChinese telegraphy\, typewri

 _ON THE ALTAR: A HISTORY OF SACRIFICE FROM THE SACRED TO THE SECULAR_\nWED
 NESDAY\, APRIL 15\, 2026 \n5:00 P.M. | RECEPTION\n5:30 P.M. | TALK\nRUBENS
 TEIN COMMONS CAFÉ\n\nIn _On the Altar_\, Jonathan Sheehan\, Hans Kohn Memb
 er (2020–21) in\nthe School of Historical Studies\, offers a new account o
 f sacrifice\nboth sacred and secular. His story is in part a history of th
 e\nChristian imagination across the centuries of the Reformation–when\nnew
  martyrs and holy warriors fought for the truth of their\nsacrifices\, whe
 n the empire of New World sacrifice was recruited to\nsettle Christian con
 flicts\, and when the sacrifices of the ancient\nHebrews were weaponized f
 or orthodoxy. But it is a history of the\nsecular imagination as well\, as
  the vast archive of Christian\nsacrifice was dispersed and applied to thi
 ngs that humans make: their\nreligions\, politics\, and societies. With _O
 n the Altar_\, Sheehan\nreveals a new history of both Christianity and the
  secular world in\nwhich we still live.\n\nJonathan Sheehan is Sidney Hell
 man Ehrman Professor of European\nHistory at the University of California\
 , Berkeley. He writes on the\nintellectual and cultural history of early m
 odern Europe\, with\nparticular focus on Christianity and the making of th
 e secular\nworld. \n\nSheehan wrote _On the Altar_ during his time as a Me
 mber at the\nInstitute.\n\nFollowing the talk\, Sheehan will be available 
 for a book signing.\nLabyrinth Books will be on site to offer the sale of 
 _On the Altar_.

 Y_\nWEDNESDAY\, APRIL 22\, 2026 | 4:30 P.M.\nWOLFENSOHN HALL\n\nJoin Franc
 esca Trivellato\, Professor in the School of Historical\nStudies\, and Ann
  McGrath\, Patrons’ Endowment Fund Member in the\nSchool of Historical Stu
 dies\, for the screening of _Japarta: A Journey\nto the Gurindji Way_\, wi
 th a Q&A to follow.\n\n_Japarta: A Journey to the Gurindji Way_ tells the 
 poignant story of\nMinoru Hokari\, a brilliant young economics student fro
 m Japan who was\ninspired to try to find a way of studying Gurindji histor
 y and\nculture. \n\nIn the 1980s\, the Wave Hill Walk-off—a landmark event
  in the\nAustralian Aboriginal land rights movement—came to his attention.
 \nThis film is Hokari’s story\, often told in his own voice\, and it\nreve
 als the close connection that developed between him and the\nGurindji. It 
 follows his spiritual and intellectual transformation\,\nand how he was\, 
 in Gurindji terms\, “called” by the land to help\nthe Gurindji tell their 
 story to an international audience.\n\nJaparta was the “skin name” given b
 y the Gurindji to Minoru. He\neventually spent many months living with the
  Gurindji\, studying with\nelders and writing the book _Radical Oral Histo
 ry_\, which reflects\nupon the Gurindji understanding of history in a refr
 eshingly whimsical\nvoice. Hokari’s cross-cultural practice has had a prof
 ound\ninterdisciplinary impact in Japan\, leading to numerous conferences\
 ,\npublications\, and exhibitions\, while the scholarship in his memory ha
 s\nenabled many researchers to create further breakthroughs in the field\n
 of Indigenous history\, moving towards a more expansive approach to\nhisto
 ry in general. \n\nAssistive listening devices will be available on site.

 .M.\nRUBENSTEIN COMMONS MEETING ROOM 5\n\nEarly in the twentieth century\,
  collecting historic science editions\nwas in vogue much as fine art colle
 cting is today. Tracing the\nmovement of these volumes can sometimes be as
  telling as the contents\nof the volumes themselves. The town of Princeton
  is particularly\nfavored with five copies of Copernicus' iconic _De revol
 utionibus_:\nfour first editions and one second edition. One of these firs
 t\neditions—resident in the Rosenwald Collection at the Institute for\nAdv
 anced Study—is inscribed with marginalia that allows a glimpse\ninto the m
 ovements of the book.\n\nIn this talk\, Peter Reczek\, retired molecular b
 iologist and former New\nJersey Commissioner of Science and Technology\, w
 ill fill in some of\nthe gaps\, explaining how societal events in the seve
 nteenth century\nshaped the movement of the book and how it came to be at 
 IAS. A\nfrequent denizen of rare book collections and Copernican volumes\,
 \nReczek has a long-standing interest in the history of Polish\nmathematic
 s.\n\nRegister below to attend.\n
