		My research focuses on Omani migrants to east Africa in the nineteenth century, specifically commerce and kinship that linked the interior of eastern and central Africa with the port cities and date-farm hinterlands of the Arabian peninsula through the Indian Ocean and the Arab state in Zanzibar.
		In connecting the worlds of Arab migrants in east Africa in the nineteenth century, I have moved through the contemporary networks that connect eastern Africa and the Arabian peninsula to carry out research in Tanzania, Burundi, and Oman, in addition to visiting archives in the United Kingdom and Portugal.
		Last year I taught a course comparing the hinterlands and trade networks of Zanzibar and Khartoum in the nineteenth century, and this year I will teach a history seminar on the Indian Ocean world from the early modern period to the present.

	CSLI Calendar, 17 May, vol. 5:28
		Ventura 17 In recent studies on nonlinear phonology, it has been claimed that languages cannot have both falling and rising diphthongs, and that nuclei with three x-positions (in syllable templates) are excluded.
		Western Nilotic languages such as Dinka and Nuer have been claimed to have both rising and falling diphthongs, while the same languages have a phonemically distinctive three-way vowel length distinction.
		The main purpose of my talk will be to investigate how well the theoretical claims hold in the case of Western Nilotic, and to what extent they help us in understanding how the syllable nucleus in Western Nilotic is structured.
