To date, research in psycholinguistics has been conducted primarily on English and other Western European languages, even though they comprise only a fraction of the world's languages (Kidd & Garcia, 2021). Yet, findings from these limited languages have been widely assumed to apply to human languages in general. More recently, however, the limitations of theories and models based on a limited set of languages have become widely recognized, and new efforts are underway to broaden the range of target languages (Singh, Rajendra, & Mazuka, 2022).

--Thandi Cai, 2024, 47 min, USA, in English--

Introduction and post-screening discussion moderated by Professor Eileen Chow.

***Two storytellers, one community, and 150 years of untold history.***

"Bluff City Chinese" follows two Chinese-American storytellers, filmmaker Thandi Cai and Delta elder Emerald Dunn, as they uncover the untold history of Chinese immigrants in Memphis, Tennessee.

Through personal journeys, community oral histories, and archival research, the film weaves a 150-year tapestry of identity, belonging, and resilience.

This talk is based on Professor Yanshuo Zhang's new book, "Creative Belonging: The Qiang and Multiethnic Imagination in Modern China" (University of Michigan Press, January 2026).

Critical Care Grand Rounds occurs via Zoom on Thursdays from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST, and is led by Drs. Vijay Krishnamoorthy and Nazish Hashmi.

Every Thursday at 10 a.m., add some movement to your mindfulness practice with Mindful Movement. The 15-minute Zoom sessions will combine movement, breathwork, visualization and intention to create a moving meditation practice that enhances relaxation and improves well-being. Drop in for an enhanced mindfulness experience through a focus on mobilization.

Talk title TBA.

Department of Anesthesiology Grand Rounds on Wednesdays from 7 to 8am. | This activity has been planned and implemented by the Duke University Health System Department of Clinical Education and Professional Development and for the advancement of patient care.

Come join us in the fields to lose track of time, be outdoors, practice embodied work, and experience profound community with plants, soil, and humans! Our students, volunteers, and staff consistently say that their most memorable memories at DCF are the conversations they shared over a wheelbarrow of mulch or while tackling weeds in a bed of carrots together. Absolutely no farming experience is necessary, and there is no Duke affiliation required. We have tasks for most ages and abilities.

Health Assessment is a free, confidential health screening provided through Duke benefits. It includes total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, BMI, waist circumference height, weight and body mass index measurements. Additionally, there is a goal setting and referral session with a nurse, dietitian, or fitness specialist. Many participants find the coaching session helps them get started making lifestyle changes and connects them to LIVE FOR LIFE and community resources to support them. Health Assessments are available to all active Duke employees.
