Enforcing equality: court rulings, indigenous women, and political participation in Oaxaca, Mexico
Within the last decade, Mexico´s federal electoral courts have taken unprecedented steps to promote affirmative action in favor of women´s political participation. At the federal, state, and municipal levels, this has largely meant rulings that support legislation on gender-based quotas for public posts. A stumbling block to this affirmative action initiative has been the predominately indigenous municipalities that hold local elections through tradition and custom instead of universal suffrage and secret ballot. Legally recognized as part of indigenous people´s collective right to self-determination, election through custom and tradition has been difficult to fit into existing juridical logics of gender equality. In the past three years, however, a growing number of electoral conflicts appealed to the federal courts have brought the question of indigenous women´s political participation to the forefront. I examine several of these cases to explore how the courts mediate between the question of collective self-determination and individual women´s rights, how they seek to promote a liberal notion of gender equality, and how women and communities are responding to their rulings in unexpected ways. I argue that what is at stake is more than just women´s political participation; rather, these rulings reflect contemporary contestations over gender, indigeneity, modernity, and democracy in Mexico more broadly.

She received her Phd in Geography from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her work focuses on gender, migration, development and indigenous politics.

Title of lecture :The Fundamental Theorem of Commutative Algebra(FTOCA)
Abstract:The Lecture is about the theorem of right invertibility of matrices over Commutative Rings(FTOCA)
A proof of FTOCA in the context of linear systems and various applications of it (like the lemma of Nakayama and vanishing of the tensor product) are being presented in the lecture.

Title:
Vector bundles on moduli space of stable curves with marked points.
Abstract:
Conformal block vector bundles are vector bundles on the moduli space
of stable curves with marked points defined using certain Lie
theoretic data. Over smooth curves, these vector bundles can be
identified with generalized theta functions. In this talk we discuss
extension of this identification over the stable curves.
This is joint work with P. Belkale and A. Gibney

"LingoFest" - free hands-on activity day introducing linguistics to primary and secondary school students.
Compressed Course: "Mapping Variation: An Introduction to the Use of Geospatial Tools for Linguistic Analysis" (A&S 500-003)
This one-week, one-credit compressed course focuses on mapping variation through the use of geospatial tools like GIS. The course, offered as A&S 500-003, will take place from November 9-13 from 5-8pm each day in the Oliver Raymond Building, room C226. As a 500-level course, it is open to both graduate and undergraduate students.
Dr. Montgomery's research investigates ways of integrating techniques used in geography with those traditionally used in dialectology. His specific focus in the use of GIS technologies is innovative in the field of linguistics, and his presence on UK's campus will expose the community here to some of the most recent endeavors in these kinds of digital humanities research methodologies. Despite a focus in linguistic variation, this class will present methods that could be applied to many of the social sciences and humanities, wherein the questions deal with societal patterns, variations in those patterns, and the geospatial presentation and analysis of data related to those patterns. If you have any questions about this course, please contact Dr. Jennifer Cramer (jennifer.cramer@uky.edu).
