| Indigenous Languages Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon
Please join us on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, October 14, 2019, in El Centro Chicano (at the front of Old Union, on the Stanford campus), at any time between 10am and 4pm, for a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon focusing on indigenous languages.
To celebrate the thousands of indigenous languages across the world, the United Nations has declared 2019 the International Year of Indigenous Languages. From the Penutian languages of the San Francisco Bay area to the Pahoturi River languages of Papua New Guinea, language is used to share information and as a central part of our cultures and identities. Despite the work done by anthropologists and linguists on the world’s indigenous languages, information about the languages indigenous to where we live and work is hard to find and especially so for those with a personal connection to these languages.

| Energy Seminar: Dynamic Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicles
Road transportation, which accounts for 22 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, is undergoing a major transformation with the advent of ridesharing, autonomous driving, and vehicle electrification. Collectively these technologies, in conjunction with renewable sources of electricity, have the potential to dramatically reduce the negative impact of road transportation on the health of the planet. The successful convergence of these technologies will require electric vehicles that are low cost and fully autonomous. These attributes can be realized through dynamic wireless charging. However, this will require wireless charging technology that is well beyond current capabilities, and opens new areas of research related to power and transportation infrastructure. Using examples from Afridi's group’s research on capacitive wireless charging (as opposed to the more common inductive techniques), which leverage very high frequency power electronics, this talk will highlight the opportunities and challenges in dynamic wireless charging of electric vehicles.

| Corpus Synodalium: Mapping Law (and Resistance) in Late Medieval Europe
The bishops of late medieval Europe issued thousands of laws, on subjects ranging from the regulation of midwives to the tithing of livestock, and even on what to do if a spider fell into the communion wine. Yet despite the value ofthis legal corpus as a source for the social and religious history of the late Middle Ages, its sheer scale (to say nothingof the challenges of scattered manuscripts, indecipherable handwriting, linguistic variety, and messy textual trans-mission) has long deterred scholars from exploiting its riches. In this talk, we will present Corpus Synodalium, a new online database that gathers together the extant corpus of medieval episcopal legislation into a user-friendly platform that supports a range of text analysis tools as well as an innovative mapping function. The talk will be of particular interest to scholars working with non-English or multilingual sources, as well as those seeking to integrate spatial visualizations into textual research. Read more.

| Computer programming pioneer and MIT Institute Professor Barbara Liskov
Barbara Liskov was already breaking new ground in 1968, when she became one of the first American women to earn a doctorate in the emerging discipline of computer science.
After receiving that PhD at Stanford, she went on to design several influential programming languages, including CLU, an important precursor to Java. More recently, as an Institute Professor at MIT and head of the institute’s Programming Methodology Group, she has undertaken crucial research on distributed systems, information security and complex system failure issues.
Liskov will be joined in conversation by host Ann Miura-Ko, a lecturer in Stanford’s Department of Management Science and Engineering. Miura-Ko earned her PhD from Stanford in quantitative modeling of computer security, and has leveraged that technical background to become one of Silicon Valley’s pioneer investors in AI technology. As a founding partner of the venture capital firm Floodgate, she has made decisive seed-stage investments in companies like Lyft, TaskRabbit and Modcloth. She is a co-sponsor of the AI Grant, a nonprofit research lab that funds work on open source artificial intelligence, and is a founding member of All Raise, an organization devoted to increasing the representation of women in the VC-funded technology ecosystem.
