Jan Eivind Myhre, Professor Emeritus at the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History, University of Oslo.

Women in Music Technology Seminar with Mari Lesteberg and Ane Bjerkan.

Philosophical Seminar with Jens Timmermann (St Andrews)

Following Givental, enumerative mirror symmetry can be stated as a relation between genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants and period integrals. I will talk about a relative version of mirror symmetry that relates genus zero relative Gromov-Witten invariants of smooth pairs and relative periods. Then I will talk about how to use it to compute the mirror proper Landau-Ginzburg potentials of smooth log Calabi-Yau pairs.

Giuliano D'Amico, f?rsteamanuensis ved Senter for Ibsenstudier, presenterer sin nyeste forskning for oss. 

Eirik Frisvold Hanssen (National Library of Norway) will present the anthology Silent Ibsen and introduce a screening of Theodore Marston's silent film adaptation of A Doll's House (1911).

The 2008 Taiwanese film Cape No. 7 º£½ÇÆßÌ–, directed by Wei Te-sheng, will be shown on Tuesday 14 Feb from 12.00 (NOT 12.15!) in seminar room 2, P. A. Munchs hus. This is one of the films Ming-yeh T. Rawnsley will discuss in her lecture on 21 March.

The political dynamics of fragmentation and polarization after the covid crisis and Russia's war in Ukraine.

Department seminar. Inga Deimen is an assistant professor at the University of Arizona. She will present the paper: "Strategic information transmission in the employment relationship" (written with Andreas Blume).

In this lecture, art historian Mechtild Widrich (Chicago) will review recent debates about contemporary monuments in light of overwhelming experiences of a world in crisis.

I will go through my PhD work at DTU. It is about the development of a fully-nonlinear finite difference based potential flow solver which imposes all of the fluid boundaries via an immersed boundary method. The convergence and stability of this approach is first established for various linear and nonlinear wave propagation problems. When it comes to the wave-body interaction problem, cautious attention is paid to the intersection point between free surface and body surface, and a scheme which meets the accuracy and stability requirements best is picked from several proposals. With the scheme introduced in this paper, piston type wave maker and forced heaving cylinder cases with high oscillation frequency have been simulated successfully.

Internal solitary waves (ISWs) are underwater waves of great amplitude moving horizontally in the layered ocean. The waves induce a velocity field which is felt both at the ocean surface, throughout the entire water column, and at the bottom. When of great amplitude, the waves induce a vortex wake in the bottom boundary layer behind the wave and transport water in the vertical direction displacing, e.g., sediments from the bottom. A fundamental mechanism in the ocean ecosystem is the vertical mixing and movement of particles, e.g., biological materials. In this talk, we present numerical simulations of ISWs of depression and of large amplitude by replicating a laboratory experiment. Furthermore, we discuss the dynamics of ISW-sediment interactions and illustrate particle movements, trajectories, and particle distribution in the water column under the influence of ISWs of large amplitude.

Quentin Noraz, Postdoctoral Fellow at Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics, University of Oslo.

Guest lecture. Dr. Andreas Ravndal Kost?l will hold a guest lecture with the title "Workforce Analytics: Understanding Labor Demand".

The digital guest lecture is open to the public, and staff and students are welcome to attend.

Women in Music Technology Seminar with Kristin Norderval.

¡°The idea of world-centred education is first of all meant to highlight that educational questions are fundamentally existential questions, that is questions about our existence ¡®in¡¯ and ¡®with¡¯ the world, natural and social, and not just our existence with ourselves¡± (Biesta, 2021, pp. 90-91)

Guest lecture. Dr. Adrien Vigier will hold a guest lecture about "Moral hazard".

The guest lecture is open to the public, and staff and students are welcome to attend.

Felleskollokvium by Heidi Sandaker, Head of the Norwegian Center for CERN-related research (NorCC)

Intercultural communication, pedagogy, and the question of time: An exploration

In this seminar, we will have the pleasure to discuss Gert Biesta's latest article "Becoming Contemporaneous: Intercultural Communication Pedagogy beyond Culture and without Ethics". A version of this article will be sent to everyone attending the seminar.

In this talk, professor of cultural studies, Ben Highmore explores the role of playgrounds in equipping the young with skills to face a climate catastrophe. How should we understand the history of playgrounds? What is their relationship to their environments and the environment, and what role could they play in the current climate emergency?  

This lecture will discuss the key issues and debates in post-Martial Law Taiwan by reviewing recent scholarship and representative works by local historians.
