  • Spring 2026 Course Evaluations: CES opt-out pilot underway

    麻豆社 will pilot an opt-out model for the Watermark Course Evaluation and Survey (CES) system in spring 2026, following consultation with campus UUP leadership. Under this model, all active spring 2026 courses in Brightspace will be automatically included in CES unless faculty choose to opt out.

    Faculty in colleges or schools without a mandatory course evaluation requirement who do not wish to have one or more courses evaluated may opt out during the Feb. 9鈥揂pril 14, 2026 window by following the steps below. Faculty in units with mandatory evaluation policies do not need to take any action.

    How to Opt Out of CES (Feb. 9鈥揂pril 14, 2026):
    - Log in to .
    - Select the "Brightspace" tab from the navigation menu on the left.
    - Under Brightspace, click "Student Evaluation of Teaching".
    - Navigate to the "Manage Course" tab.
    - Click the "View" icon to review course details.
    - Select the checkbox next to each course you wish to exclude from CES.
    - Click "Delete Selected Courses".

    Note: CES operates at the course level. For team-taught or cross-listed courses, opting out will remove the evaluation for all instructors associated with that course, so coordination with co-instructors is strongly recommended.

    Additional details, FAQs, and guidance are available on the CES website at the link below.

  • Call for proposals 鈥 "Spark and Convergence: AI Seed Grant Program"

    麻豆社 is introducing the "Spark and Convergence: AI Seed Grant Program", leveraging the Innovation Lab to drive transdisciplinary AI solutions in teaching, learning, community, and society.

    How can 麻豆社 utilize the Innovation Lab and Generative AI not just as a tool for learning, but as a connective tissue that activates meaningful, project-based collaboration across the disciplines?

    The Innovation Lab is a central, flexible, and collaborative environment designed for collision, collaboration, and convergence across disciplines.

    There is a critical need to improve AI literacy across faculty, staff, and students, while leveraging AI as a tool for rapid innovation. The solution is seed funding to faculty teams who commit to developing transdisciplinary courses or projects that explicitly utilize the Innovation Lab as their physical "collider space" and Generative AI as their common investigative tool.

    This program requires the active use of the Innovation Lab to facilitate "micro-teaching" and, more importantly, student collaboration across academic silos (e.g., Watson Engineering students collaborating with Decker Nursing students).

    Tier 1 鈥 The "Spark" Micro-Grant (Pilot Level, up to $5k funding)
    - Target: Two faculty members from distinct schools/colleges/programs
    - Deliverable: A joint two-week module or single assignment where classes merge
    - The "Space" Requirement: Must host at least two joint class sessions in the Innovation Lab, utilizing breakout rooms for mixed-team problem solving
    -Goal: tackle a challenging problem with transdisciplinary student groups

    Tier 2 鈥 The "Convergence" Major Grant (Course Level: up to $10k funding)
    - Target: Three+ faculty or interdisciplinary clusters
    - Deliverable: A semester-long significant collaborative project or shared course materials
    - The "Space" Requirement: The Innovation Lab is regularly scheduled for student group meetings. Faculty can utilize the open layout for micro-teaching, SME consultations, mini-lectures, and breakout rooms, all focused on collaborative project work
    - Goal: Leveraging AI and transdisciplinary learning to tackle challenges in teaching, learning, community, and society

    Submit an application to genai@binghamton.edu, which consists of a single PDF document, three pages or less, describing the project, faculty team, student collaboration plan, planned use of the Innovation Lab, role of generative AI in your project, anticipated outcomes, timeline, and detailed budget. Proposals should be written for an interdisciplinary review committee and should avoid unnecessary disciplinary jargon. The due date for projects is April 27, 2026.

    A rediscovered treasure of 1990s DIY filmmaking, Cauleen Smith鈥檚 "Drylongso" embeds an incisive look at racial injustice within a lovingly handmade buddy movie/murder mystery/romance. Alarmed by the rate at which the young Black men around her are dying, brash Oakland, California, art student Pica (Toby Smith) attempts to preserve their existence in Polaroid snapshots, along the way forging a friendship with a woman in an abusive relationship (April Barnett) and experiencing love, heartbreak, and the everyday threat of violence. Capturing the vibrant community spirit of Oakland in the nineties, Smith crafts both a rare cinematic celebration of Black female creativity and a moving elegy for a generation of lost African American men.

  • Hub New Music: April 16

    Hailed as 鈥渁 prime mover of piping-hot 21st century repertoire鈥 by The Washington Post, Hub New Music is one of the country's leading contemporary music ensembles. They return to Binghamton for two dynamic and unmissable performances that showcase the extraordinary range of new music created by Binghamton faculty and students, alongside new works from Grammy and Pulitzer-winning composers the ensemble has commissioned.

    This event will take place from 7:30-9:30 p.m. Thursday, April 16, in Casadesus Recital Hall. Admission is free.


    In addition to highlighting student work, ranging from EDM to lush romanticism to experimental instrument design, the performances will also include a world premiere by Hippocrates Cheng, assistant professor of music theory and composition, and the work "What if We鈥檙e Beautiful" by Daniel Thomas Davis, professor of composition, which has been frequently performed across the country and was recently featured on National Public Radio.

    Founded in 2013, Hub New Music is one of today鈥檚 leading contemporary music ensembles. Hub has expanded the repertoire for its distinct combination of flute, clarinet, violin, and cello with over two dozen commissions by today鈥檚 most celebrated composers. In its thoughtfully curated programs, Hub New Music performs works exclusively written for the ensemble that strike notes of contemporary relevance. Recent and upcoming performances include concerts presented by Tanglewood, Seattle Symphony, Morgan Library, Suntory Hall (Tokyo), the Williams Center for the Arts, Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center, King鈥檚 Place (London), Thailand International Composer鈥檚 Festival (Bangkok), Soka Performing Arts Center, Arizona Friends of Chamber Music, Bowdoin International Chamber Music Festival, and the Celebrity Series of Boston.

    Hub New Music鈥檚 recordings have garnered consistent acclaim. The group鈥檚 recent album with Kojiro Umezaki, "a distance, intertwined", featured five works for Hub and shakuhachi, which I Care if You Listen called 鈥渂eautiful, haunting music that presents a clear and authentic dialog between varied cultural paradigms and traditions.鈥 Hub鈥檚 debut album, "Soul House", released on New Amsterdam Records, was called 鈥渋ngenious and unequivocally gorgeous鈥 (Boston Globe) and 鈥渋ntensely poignant" (Textura). In 2022, Hub鈥檚 album with Carlos Simon, "Requiem for the Enslaved", was nominated for a GRAMMY award for Best Classical Composition.

    Hub is sought after for its multifaceted educational residency programs, having been a recent guest at Princeton University, University of Michigan, Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, and Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, among many others. In 2021, Hub was a resident ensemble for the Los Angeles Philharmonic鈥檚 Nancy and Barry Sanders Composer Fellowship program for high school-aged composers.

(For example, one application can be for $1,238.00 and the second application can be for $762.00; both applications can total up to $2,000.) Part-time employees are particularly encouraged to apply because 15% of the IDA funds are set aside for these employees.

Funding may be provided to enhance teaching, research capabilities, professional knowledge and skills. Funding may not be awarded to purchase equipment or supplies or to support activities that are not related to the applicant's SUNY profession. (Note: Funding restrictions have changed over the last few years, so review the restrictions closely.) See the "IDA Program Guidelines" for more information at the link below.

    Employees may be funded for up to two projects or activities, not to exceed a total of $2,000 for the period of July 2, 2025, through July 1, 2026. The deadline for the 2025-26 applications is 11:59 p.m. Sunday, April 12, 2026.

    The IDA program has changed. Awards reimbursement will follow the process outlined in the "Accounts Payable Personal Reimbursement Procedure" guidelines.

    Note: The application requires that you fill out a separate PDF and submit it to the Google form so that the committee can better keep track of all applications.

    These decisions then need to be forwarded to NYS/UUP Joint Labor-Management Committees for secondary review. For questions about the program, contact Aaron Phelps via email or at 607-777-6460

  • Keeping bikes safe on campus

    As the weather warms, the University typically sees the number of bikes and scooters increase across campus. In anticipation of this seasonal trend, the University Police would like to share a few simple steps you can take to help protect your property and reduce the risk of theft.

    Whenever possible, ensure your property is locked in a designated bike rack using a high-quality lock. Additionally, removing an easily detachable part, such as the seat or a wheel, can serve as a strong deterrent to its theft. If you have a bike or scooter stored outdoors, take a moment to verify that it is properly secured in the location where you left it. By periodically checking on your property, you can narrow the window of opportunity should a theft occur and increase the likelihood of its recovery.

    Finally, one of the most effective ways to help in the bike鈥檚 recovery is to keep specific information about the bike on hand. Remembering the make, model, and color is useful, but documenting unique details such as serial numbers, aftermarket parts, or distinct damage greatly aids in its recovery. The best way to save this information is by simply taking photos of these details and keeping the pictures on your phone.

    If your bike or scooter is ever stolen, you can file a report with University Police in person on the ground floor of the Couper Administration Building or by contacting University Police Dispatch at (607) 777-2393.

  • Observe local wildlife safely

    Campus is home to the 190-acre nature preserve, which itself is home to deer, beaver, fox, mink, muskrat, porcupines and other mammals, a diverse amphibian and reptilian population, and over two-hundred bird species. Respect the wildlife both on campus and in the community by following these tips:

    - Don't feed the wildlife. Feeding wildlife damages their health, alters natural behaviors, and exposes them to predators and other dangers.
    - Keep quiet and move slowly if you see wildlife.
    - View wildlife from a distance; do not approach.
    - Never purposely chase wildlife.
    - Do not collect plants or animals without permission (agency permits are required for certain species).
    - Leave wild baby animals where you find them. Do not collect birds, eggs, or feathers.

  • Graduate School policy updates

    The Graduate School has been working to update, clarify, and modernize its policies this year and would like to share three recent updates with the campus.

    1. Graduate School By-laws 鈥 Article 2 defines the terms for graduate faculty membership. This article was substantially out of date with current practices of the campus and in conflict with other policies included in the manual. Article 2 has been substantially revised (and approved by the Graduate Council) to more clearly define the role(s), privileges, and responsibilities for members of the Graduate Faculty. Read more at: /grad-school/policies-and-procedures/bylaws.html

    2. New doctoral stipend policy page 鈥 Because doctoral students can be supported through either SUNY-funded GATA positions or RPA positions supported through sponsored projects, the Graduate School created a new stipend policy page to clarify and harmonize doctoral stipend policies across funding modalities. In doing so, it consulted with HR (both SUNY and RF) to incorporate their policies where appropriate, and ensure adopted policies are consistent with best practices in doctoral education at R1 universities. Read more at: /grad-school/cost-funding/stipend-policies.html

    3. Update Postdoctoral Associate/Fellows policies 鈥 Like many R1 universities, The Graduate School maintains the policies governing the appointment and training of postdoctoral scholars. With efforts over the past two years to provide professional development and career support to postdocs, The Graduate School has now formalized this work into a new Office of Postdoctoral Affairs within the Graduate School. In doing so, policies have been updated to align with federal, state, and Research Foundation policies, including new requirements for minimum compensation. Read more at: /grad-school/policies-and-procedures/post-doctoral-policies.html

    The Graduate School will continue to evaluate, refine, and improve these policies in upcoming years to meet the critical needs of its constituents (graduate students, postdocs, and faculty) and 麻豆社. Many thanks to the members of the Graduate Council who have been involved with the review and discussion of our policy revisions over the past year.

  • New opportunities to share your expertise through The Conversation

    Do you want to see your research highlighted in high-profile media? Take a look below at the current opportunities and reach out to dhermanovitc@binghamton.edu and jbrhel@binghamton.edu if you would like to pitch yourself to write for The Conversation.

    1. What to watch out for ahead of Tax Day
    April 15 is coming up, and a lot has changed since last year. There aren鈥檛 just the many provisions to unpack from Trump鈥檚 sweeping tax bill (SALT cap deductions, Trump accounts, car loan interest deductions, etc.); taxpayers seeking a free alternative to commercial filing platforms are also dealing with the end of Direct File. The Conversation is looking for a tax expert to do a quick piece that would highlight some of the more unusual or surprising provisions that could trip up filers; a quick analysis of what we know from returns filed to date would also be interesting.

    2. Wildfires and Forest Service reorganization
    The reorganization of the U.S. Forest Service includes closing climate and wildfire research stations across the country and consolidating them in one location. The Conversation is looking for an expert in this work to explain what happens at those research stations, some of the contributions they have made (including long-term research efforts), and why it would be hard to do the work remotely from Fort Collins.

    3. What are oil companies doing with high oil prices?
    Are oil companies earning large amounts of money? If not, where is the high oil-price money going? And if so, what are the oil companies doing with all that money?

    4. What鈥檚 in the price of gas?
    The Conversation is looking for a scholar who could do a short piece breaking down what elements add up to the price of a gallon of gasoline at the pump. The desk is envisioning a piece that says X amount is federal tax, Y amount is state tax, Z amount is the cost of buying the gas wholesale, and so on, including what it costs to operate a gas station, what the profit margin is, and so on.

    5. Curious Kids: Why is water wet?
    The Conversation is looking for a scholar to write a short (~600-700 words), fun, and thoughtful piece geared towards young readers (and interested adults) that answers the question "Why is water wet?" This would ideally be addressed by a philosopher of science, but the desk is open to scholars from other relevant disciplines (especially multidisciplinary perspectives). The desk encourages you to consider reaching out to scholars of color, but definitely feel free to suggest anyone you think is a good fit. When responding, share a link to the profile of the scholar you have in mind.

    The Conversation is the most-read nonprofit news website in America, and features fact-based articles written by those in academia to provide greater depth to current events, science/medical news, and much more. All Conversation stories are published under a Creative Commons license 鈥 meaning hundreds of news sites and newspapers worldwide have republished Conversation content for free. 麻豆社 has had more than 100 faculty members write for The Conversation, and many of them have submitted multiple articles over the last decade!

    Do you have other research/expertise you would like to write about in The Conversation?

    Use the online pitch form below to submit your suggested story idea. Hold off on writing a complete draft until you hear from a Conversation editor about whether they鈥檇 like to pursue the topic; they will help you shape the outline of your story before you start writing.

Speakers and Lectures

  • IASH Speaker Series presentation Wednesday

    The IASH Speaker Series presents "Poverty, Labor and Sexuality: Working-Class Girls in Antebellum Baltimore" by Young in Jang at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, April 8, in LN 1106.

    This paper examines the lived experiences of working-class girls, focusing on the aspects of labor, race, gender, sexuality and health in early nineteenth-century Baltimore. As a rapidly commercializing city on the edge of slaveholding states, Baltimore experienced pervasive urban poverty that severely affected working-class families. The fragility of working-class family structures naturally drove children out of their households into work to help support their families and themselves. Without parental control and protection, working-class girls were able to navigate their sexuality more freely, as well as exposed to sexual harassment and abuse. This paper demonstrates the variety of sexual experiences of working-class white and free Black girls and young women and further shows how the sexuality of girls and young women shaped the public discourse of poverty, morality and health in antebellum Baltimore.

  • "Moving From a Criminal Act: Placing Medieval Toulouse in a Violent World" CEMERS lecture series Wednesday

    The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies will host a lecture at 3 p.m. Wednesday, April 8, in the IASH Conference Room, LN 1106, titled "Moving from a Criminal Act: Placing Medieval Toulouse in a Violent World" with guest speaker Patricia Turning, professor of medieval and early modern history at Albright College.

    This presentation has been inspired by the opportunity to be forward-thinking about the state of medieval studies. For years, historians have primarily focused on the archives of Southern France to dissect the thirteenth-century inquisitorial registers and discuss everything from mechanisms of power and heresy to social and family networks. It has taken time for scholars to turn their attention to other medieval sources, largely because the materials were seemingly incomplete, damaged, or tangential to the eradication of the Cathars. In Toulouse, in particular, the municipal archives have a series of previously ignored criminal manuscripts and jurisdictional disputes attributed to a singular town-and-gown dispute from 1332. But upon further investigation, these were, in fact, local trial transcripts involving violent clashes and sinister activity that unfolded in the urban space. They documented heated legal confrontations between municipal and royal officials over the right to punish offenders in customary ways and in a spectacular fashion. Neighbors took each other to court to seek a formal audience for their complaints and perceived injustices, and they expected their judicial system to provide some restitution through corporal means. An incarcerated prostitute lamented to a sympathetic prison official that a corrupt sergeant had rendered her impoverished and sold her to a local brothel. Her initial disclosure resulted in a lengthy trial in which many other citizens came forward with detailed charges of the sergeant鈥檚 abuse. Within months of this case, friends and relatives of a young girl named Mastaroza accused a man of rape and kidnapping, only to discover later that the mother had sold him her virginity. For this heinous crime, municipal officials sentenced the mother to perform a walk of shame through the streets of the city with a crown of straw on her head, but a man burst forth from a dissatisfied crowd and set the crown on fire. Beyond recovering the voices of the past, the tools of microhistory have been employed to unpack the social, cultural, and anthropological meanings of this archeology of everyday life. This lecture will explore the question of what happens next. After these specifics have been recovered from these archival remnants, how are they contextualized beyond the local scenario? How do historians find larger historical or cultural value from these anecdotes?

  • "Occupational Identity: Supporting Roles, Habits, and Routines in Gender-Affirming Care" event Friday

    While gender-affirming care is often discussed through medical or psychological lenses, Occupational Therapy offers a unique perspective by focusing on the "occupations" of daily life, utilizing the MOHO model. This session explores how OTs support individuals in navigating shifts in their roles, habits, and routines during their transition or gender-affirming journey. By considering the intersection of an individual's identity and their environment, this lecture highlights practical strategies to promote occupational well-being and foster a client-centered approach to healthcare.

    This event will take place at 11:20 a.m.-12:20 p.m., Friday, April 10, in HSB 101. Click the link below to learn more or RSVP.

    Jacie Schneider, OTD, OTR/L, is a clinical assistant professor and the doctoral capstone coordinator for the Division of Occupational Therapy at 麻豆社鈥檚 Decker College of Nursing and Health Sciences.

  • Cinema Department Speakers Series Friday 鈥 "Films of Tsai Ming-liang"

    Join the Cinema Department Speakers Series spring 2026 for a screening of "Films of Tsai Ming-liang" by Emma Ben Ayoun, at 4 p.m. Friday, April 10, in Lecture Hall 6. Admission is free.

    Emma Ben Ayoun is an assistant professor of film and media at the SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology, where she teaches courses on documentary cinema, film theory and criticism, global film history, melodrama, and slow cinema, among other things. She holds a doctorate in cinema and media studies from the University of Southern California and a Master of Studies degree in film aesthetics from the University of Oxford. Her writing, on topics including disability theory, experimental documentary, animal studies, virtual reality, and disability justice, can be found in "Camera Obscura", "The Velvet Light Trap", "Journal of Cinema and Media Studies", "Intermedialit茅s", and "Visual Anthropology", as well as a new edited collection from Bloomsbury entitled "Radical Embodiment on Film: Time and the Cinematic Body". She is currently a 2026 SUNY Accessibility Advocates and Allies Faculty Fellow.

    During the shooting of Tsai Ming-liang鈥檚 first film, "Rebels of the Neon God", his lead actor, Lee Kang-Sheng 鈥 who would go on to act in all of Tsai鈥檚 subsequent features 鈥 sustained a neck injury that developed into chronic pain from which he suffers to this day. Tsai has, on occasion, explicitly incorporated Lee鈥檚 condition into his films, notably in "The River" (1997) and "Days" (2020); but images and narratives of illness and disability haunt his entire oeuvre. From the walking-impaired woman who wanders the halls of the movie theater in "Goodbye, Dragon Inn" (2003) to the eerily prescient scenes of quarantine and contagion in "The Hole" (1998), illness and disability in these films often take the form of compulsive repetition: habitual gestures, daily routines, and anxious rituals. Reading Tsai鈥檚 filmography alongside key texts in disability theory, film semiotics, and phenomenology, Ayoun argues that Tsai鈥檚 focus on the repetitive, ritualistic aspects of illness and disability is surprisingly radical for the ways it positions these phenomena not as aberrations or disruptions to the flow of meaning and time, but as the central sites around which meaning and time as such are organized.

  • School of Computing Seminar Series Friday

    Join the School of Computing for a presentation by doctoral student Taixi Chen from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, April 10, in EB T1 or on Zoom at the link below. The seminar is titled "UAM: A Unified Attention-Mamba Auxiliary Multi-Representation Encoder for Robust Tumor Cell Classification".

    Foundation models demonstrate strong generalization but often underperform in real-world, domain-specific tasks due to limited fine-grained discriminative power. Chen proposes Unified Attention-Mamba (UAM), a lightweight auxiliary encoder that enhances existing foundation models for downstream applications. UAM augments coarse representations with domain-specific features, enabling fine-grained analysis within a unified backbone. Its design seamlessly integrates Attention and Mamba mechanisms without manual tuning, synergistically improving the non-linearity while maintaining efficiency.In tumor cell classification, UAM boosts state-of-the-art medical foundation models, increasing recall from 68% to 80% and F1 score from 89% to 94%, with 7.7k parameters. These results highlight UAM鈥檚 effectiveness as a plug-in module for adapting large foundation models to real-world clinical applications.

    Taixi Chen is a first-year doctoral student in computer science at 麻豆社, advised by Nancy Guo. Previously, he received his bachelor鈥檚 degree with first-class honors from Hong Kong Baptist University. Taixi now focuses his research on the advancement of multimodal foundation models. He is particularly interested in improving the robustness and generalization of neural networks. He has published several first-author conference papers and serves as a reviewer in the fields of Machine Learning and Computer Vision.
