Title:‘Holes’ or no ‘Holes’ , that is the question: Topological Phase Transition for the beginners
Abstract: The idea of “Topology” - a branch in Mathematics where people talk about properties of spaces that do not change under a continuous deformation, has penetrated the world of Physics, Condensed Matter Physics in particular in the last two decades or so. We have learned about a strange kind of ‘phase transition’ that is markedly different from our known ones. We shall try to learn a few basic things, staying completely within our undergraduate and early post graduate curricula, regarding this exciting area of science.

The Department of Economics, Presidency University is organizing a talk by
Subha Mani, Professor of Economics, Fordham University
on 24th July, 2024 at 3.30 PM in the Economics Lecture Theater.
She will talk on
"A Glass Half Full -Experimental Evidence from a Multifaceted Program for Adolescents in India".
The abstract of the talk is as follows:
Drawing on rigorous experimental evidence from a multifaceted large-scale randomized control trial that targets improvements in gender attitudes, education and health among adolescents in ~160 clusters in India, we find that the intervention was successful in improving adolescents’ cognitive and non-cognitive skills in the medium run. Interestingly we find that the intervention was successful in improving unequal gender attitudes related to the allocation of resources between ‘siblings’, however, led to no improvements in views regarding hetero-normative roles concerning ‘husband and wife’ in a family. We complement these with a series of incentivized measures of gender norms which show that while the interventions make both boys and girls a little competitive, a large proportion of both sexes prefer to stick to their gendered roles. This explains why interventions that are successful in improving education and skills may not be enough to improve women’s participation in the workforce.
