In this workshop, choreographer Reggie Wilson and mathematician Jesse Wolfson will lead participants through an embodied exploration of kinesthetic space. Our goal is to introduce participants to both choreographic and mathematical methods for exploring, probing and conceptualizing space, and how these overlap, interact and draw on different aspects of perceptual and movement practices.

Our modern world relies upon chemical transformations that benefit the lives of billions. These transformations can be found across many sectors, including transportation, heating and cooling, electricity, food production, and manufacturing, among many others. To date, fossil resources have provided the majority of the energy demanded by the global economy, and thanks to human ingenuity over decades (and centuries) we have been able to develop large-scale chemical processes that can make use of the fossil resources to provide for many across the globe in a cost-effective manner.

Despite decades of attempts at intervention, the numbers of African American students graduating with Bachelor’s Degrees in Physics and Astronomy have remained very low. The American Institute of Physics’ TEAM-UP report, released in 2020, highlights structural problems with how African American students are supported in their efforts to attain physics degrees. Solving these problems requires addressing systemic and cultural challenges and creating change in physics departments throughout the country.
