6 February 2014, Algebra|Coalgebra Seminar, Benno van den Berg
Abstract: In his book on non-well-founded sets Aczel proves a general final coalgebra theorem, showing that a wide class of endofunctors on the category of classes has a final coalgebra. I will discuss generalisations of this result to the setting of algebraic set theory and try to motivate why it is interesting to look at results at this level of generality.

10 February 2014, The interplay of language, culture, and cognition for odor, Prof. Asifa Majid
My research investigates the nature of categories and
concepts in language, in non-linguistic perception and
cognition, and the relationship between them. I adopt a
large-scale cross-cultural approach in order to
establish
which aspects of categorisation are fundamentally shared, and
which language-specific. My work is
interdisciplinary,
combining standardised psychological methodology, in-depth
linguistic studies and
ethnographically-informed
description. This coordinated approach has been used to study
of domains such as
space, event representation and more
recently the language of perception.
