Does gender make a difference in translations of ancient texts by women? The question is raised in the open lecture by Teaching Associate Professor Mette Christiansen, University of Copenhagen. She visits STK 8th of April.

H¨¦l¨¨ne Ruffieux is a Senior Research Fellow at the MRC Biostatistics Unit, University of Cambridge. She holds a PhD in Mathematics from EPFL, Switzerland. Her research interests broadly lie in the development of Bayesian methods and their application to open problems in biomedicine, with a focus on scalable hierarchical modelling approaches for variable selection, latent structure discovery and network estimation, in high-dimensional or temporal data settings.

In this lecture, Professor Henning Kl?ter will discuss visible language in official and unofficial use in Taiwan. While the former reflects more standard language norms, the latter is more varied and playful.
