Genderations Luncheon with Dr. Amy Brausch (Psych Sciences)

Lunch 12:00 – 12:15. Lecture: 12:15 – 1:00
The catered lunch portion of the event will require an RSVP. Please contact marla.zubel@wku.edu.

Dr. Brausch's research interests fall under the broad category of adolescent and young adult self-harm and risk-taking behaviors. She studies risk and protective factors for suicide, as well as non-suicidal self-injury. She is especially interested in the role of the body in self-harm, and how factors such as body image, body protection, and body attitudes are related to an individual’s propensity to inflict harm on oneself. Other research has investigated the overlap between self-injury and risk-taking behaviors such as substance use, unhealthy eating and exercise habits, and self-asphyxial behaviors (known commonly among adolescents as “the choking game”). As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Brausch is also interested in the assessment, treatment, and prevention of suicide, non-suicidal self-injury, and eating disorders.

Title: Non-Collocated Observer Design and Boundary Output Feedback Stabilization for Magnetizable Piezoelectric Beam Model: Exponential Stability of the PDE Model and Uniform Exponential Stability of Its Finite-Difference Model

Abstract: This thesis presents a mathematical model for a magnetizable piezoelectric beam with free ends, described by partial differential equations (PDEs) that capture the complex interactions between longitudinal vibrations and charge dynamics. Moving beyond traditional collocated boundary control designs, the work proposes a non-collocated boundary controller and observer setup, facilitating state recovery and boundary output feedback control through observers positioned at opposite ends. The closed-loop system’s exponential stability, including both the observer and observer error dynamics, is rigorously established with an explicit decay rate, achieved using a carefully constructed Lyapunov function and the multipliers approach [1]. Additionally, the thesis develops a novel Finite Difference approximation using midpoints in uniform discretization and an average operator. This approximation retains exponential stability uniformly as the discretization parameter approaches zero. By employing a discretized Lyapunov function and discrete multipliers, the proof demonstrates that the decay rate is independent of the discretization parameter, ensuring that the Finite Difference approximation reflects the exponential stability properties of the original PDE model [2].

Critical Race Theory in Kentucky: What is it and why is it the "Bogeyman" in the classroom? 

Panel discussion with moderator Dr. Andrew Rosa, Associate Professor, History, WKU; Dr. Jeffrey Budziak, Assistant Dean, Political Science; Dr. Sophia Arjana, Associate Professor, History and Dr. Amy Cappiccie, Professor, Social Work. Panelists will introduce and discuss Critical Race Theory and why the flurry of bills, resolutions, and other legislative actions have sparked debates over the role of teaching race in America. Panelists will reflect on whether the "problem" of Critical Race Theory truly exists in the classroom and the origins of these political movements to control school curriculum.

To most people, jazz funerals are a mystery.

In 2005, writer and videographer Deb Cotton leaves “hard-hearted Hollywood” for New Orleans, and becomes a chronicler of the parading club culture spawned by the legacy of funerals with music. This tradition is carried by the prolific clarinetist Michael White, renowned for playing “the widow’s wail” in sorrowful dirges. When Hurricane Katrina hits, White loses everything in the catastrophic flooding. In his struggle to rebuild, White becomes an everyman, embodying the resurrection spirit of jazz funerals.

Deb and Michael take us on a journey into the city’s past, searching for answers in the face of tragedies both present and past.

As Deb follows the parading culture through the aching recovery, Michael explores his ancestral roots in the dawn of jazz. The danced-memory of enslaved Africans charges a reimagining of antebellum Congo Square, juxtaposed with the grandeur of European marching bands. With burial pageants as a mirror on the city’s history, the film hits a violent turning point at a parade shooting, plunging Deb and Michael into a search for the city’s soul.

Free tickets are available at capitolbg.org. After the screening, a Q&A with filmmakers will be offered.
