Careers that Care, Chicago Edition
Thursday & Friday, March 26–27
Chicago

Meet the people behind the policies, programs, and practices that make communities thrive. On this two-day Career Trek to Chicago, you’ll connect with professionals from government agencies, nonprofits, and wellness organizations who spend their days creating safer, healthier, and more supportive communities.

Discover how caring can be more than a calling, it can be a career.

We will be meeting with the following organizations...

Directed by Brian R. Farrell, Daria Fisher Page, and Ryan T. Sakoda (UI College of Law), "Cultivating Rurality: Building Community around Rural Research" will bring together scholars, community leaders from across the U.S., and professionals who work with rural populations and in rural spaces. During the symposium, attendees will be invited to collaborate in theorizing rurality, share how it impacts their work, examine how rurality is represented and celebrated, and begin to discuss challenges...

Structural Insights into Bacterial Chemosensory and Two-Component Signaling Pathways

Title: Hyperbolic spaces and their Gromov boundary

Abstract: Hyperbolic spaces defined by Gromov generalize the notion of negative curvature of Riemannian manifolds. This notion turned out to be very useful to study the properties of groups via geometry. In this introductory lecture, I will explain basics of hyperbolic spaces and their Gromov boundary.

This talk is presented in conjunction with Mathematics Colloquium, Hyperfinite equivalence relations in geometric group theory.

Eric Vázquez is an assistant professor in American studies and Latino studies at University of Iowa. His scholarship emphasizes the cultural, political, military, and economic bonds that link populations and institutions in the United States to Central America.

Title: Hyperfinite equivalence relations in geometric group theory

Abstract: The classification problem (i.e. classifying mathematical objects) is a fundamental question ubiquitous in all areas of mathematics. A naive approach to this problem is to try to find a complete invariant. However, such an invariant is not always accessible in a well described way. Descriptive set theory provides notions and formulations to measure complexities of classification problems even in such cases. I will...

ORCiD (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a persistent digital identifier to resolve the researcher's name ambiguity problem. Researchers are required to provide their ORCiD iD when applying for a grant or submitting an article for publication. Learn more about creating an ORCiD iD at www.iam.uiowa.edu/planter, linking your ORCiD iD to the University of Iowa, and adding your publication records from data sources (Scopus, CrossRef, etc.) to your ORCiD. Led by Carol Hollier, sciences reference...

This is a keynote lecture for the 2025-2026 Obermann Symposium: "Cultivating Rurality: Building Community around Rural Research."

Esther Pereen, University of Amsterdam: "Reimagining the Rural from Idyll to Hinterland: Exhausting Rural Childhoods”

Across the social and cultural realms, the rural is often imagined through idyllic and pastoral genres that allow it to be conceived as a refuge from globalization. Pereen's European Research Council–funded project RURAL IMAGINATIONS, concentrating on...

In addition to his latest book, The Ghost Variations: One Hundred Stories, Kevin Brockmeier is the author of the novels The Illumination, The Brief History of the Dead, and The Truth About Celia; the story collections Things That Fall from the Sky and The View from the Seventh Layer; the children’s novels City of Names and Grooves: A Kind of Mystery; and a memoir of his seventh-grade year called A Few Seconds of Radiant Filmstrip. His work has been translated into eighteen languages. He has...
