This one day event will bring to UK brewers and professional writers from the craft beer industry. Craft beer, the annual production of under six million barrels of beer by small breweries, is one of the fastest growing areas of the food industry. According to the Brewers Association, craft beer provides over 108,000 jobs and its retail dollar value in 2012 was estimated at $10.2 billion. In the last twenty years, over 2,000 new breweries have come online, commanding almost 6% of the overall American beer market. These breweries have, in turn, helped revitalize city neighborhoods, generated new jobs in related industries, and played a key role in expanding digital and social media usage.

This event will showcase the professional writing – in print and digital media – that is dominant in the craft beer industry. Writing has played a major role in promoting the business of craft beer. Craft Writing will serve as an event that draws interdisciplinary attention to the ways industry utilizes writing – in various digital forms – to promote, inform, highlight, argue, market, brand, and foster relationships between products, consumers, and other relevant parties.

Title:  Universal wave patterns

Abstract:  A feature of solutions of a (generally nonlinear) field

theory can be called "universal" if it is independent of side conditions like initial data. I will explain this phenomenon in some detail and then illustrate it in the context of the sine-Gordon equation, a fundamental relativistic nonlinear wave equation. In particular I will describe some recent results (joint work with R. Buckingham) concerning a universal wave pattern that appears for all initial data that crosses the separatrix in the phase portrait of the simple pendulum.  The pattern is fantastically complex and beautiful to look at but not hard to describe in terms of elementary solutions of the sine-Gordon equation and the collection of rational solutions of the famous inhomogeneous Painlev\'e-II equation.

Title:  Automating and Stabilizing the Discrete Empirical Interpolation Method for Nonlinear Model Reduction

Abstract:  The Discrete Empirical Interpolation Method (DEIM) is a technique for model reduction of nonlinear dynamical systems.  It is based upon a modification to proper orthogonal decomposition which is designed to reduce the computational complexity for evaluating reduced order nonlinear terms.  The DEIM approach is based upon an interpolatory projection and only requires evaluation of a few selected components of the original nonlinear term.  Thus, implementation of the reduced order nonlinear term requires a new code to be derived from the original code for evaluating the nonlinearity.  I will describe a methodology for automatically deriving a code for the reduced order nonlinearity directly from the original nonlinear code.  Although DEIM has been effective on some very difficult problems, it can under certain conditions introduce instabilities in the reduced model.  I will present a problem that has proved helpful in developing a method for stabilizing DEIM reduced models.

The Louisiana Bucket Brigade is a non-profit environmental health and justice organization working with communities that neighbor oil refineries and chemical plants. The Bucket Brigade helps communities hold these industries accountable for pollution by providing assistance with community organizing, education, media outreach, and gathering evidence against industry, including training communities to use an EPA-approved “bucket” to conduct air sampling in order to document toxic air pollution.

Please join us on April 3 & 4 to hear representatives from the Bucket Brigade discuss their environmental justice work.

PUBLIC TALKS:

Wednesday, April 3, 6:00 pm

Student Center Room #111

Thursday, April 4, 3:30 pm

White Hall Classroom Building #231

Ronesha Johnson is a community member from Shreveport, LA and Environmental Justice Corps fellow with the Bucket Brigade.

Kristen Evans, MA joined the Bucket Brigade in 2011, working with Residents for Air Neutralization before she started the Bucket Brigade's Art-to-Action program.

These talks are part of the American Studies Program’s Environmental Justice Speaker Series.

Co-sponsored by American Studies, Appalachian Studies, and the Student Sustainability Council.

Set in a fictional hill-domain resembling our own Appalachia, Ancient Creekfollows the struggles of native hill folk against colonialist invaders. The hero Jack, familiar from the Jack tale tradition, is the fugitive leader of the people's revolt and the nemesis of the King. Wounded survivors of the revolution find solace and healing on Ancient Creek where old Aunt Haze is the guiding spirit. This edition also includes essays about the story by Jim Wayne Miller, Kevin I. Eyster, Annalucia Accardo, and Dee Davis, founder of the Center for Rural Strategies, who will be joining Gurney at the event.
