SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Image Vessels: Blown Glass
DESCRIPTION:Sculptor Herb Babcock creates both monumental and human-scale work using metal\, glass and stone. In the early years of the American Studio Glass Movement (1974-1984) Babcock’s sculptural and painterly expression utilized the vessel format. By layering color — both mass and line — between gathers of clear\, molten glass\, the full compositions are viewed through the vessel as three-dimensional. Babcock is Professor Emeritus\, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple\, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paved with Good Intentions
DESCRIPTION:In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work\, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents Building Better Futures: Innovations in Equitable Development
DESCRIPTION:Cities have made a remarkable comeback\, however large swaths of their populations are being left behind. Developers\, lenders\, advocates\, and policy makers work to mitigate these disparities by creating innovative solutions and opportunity through equitable development. Now more than ever\, new approaches are required to make cities places where individuals and families can thrive. At the center of making this work are initiatives that put equity at their core and strive to find the right mix of public\, private\, nonprofit\, and grassroots policies\, investments\, and strategies that serve the needs of all residents and workers.  \n\nIn Building Better Futures: Innovations in Equitable Development\, U-M Taubman College will convene experts at the forefront of designing\, financing\, developing and promoting better buildings\, better outcomes and better futures for all across race\, income\, age\, ability\, household type and geography. This conference will examine the ground-breaking policy mechanisms\, design innovations\, and financial incentives that connect communities\, build wealth\, and create frameworks to promote equity across demographics. Join us as we investigate\, define\, and present solutions for social and equitable development to build better futures.\n\n\"Building Better Futures\" is organized in partnership with University of Michigan Poverty Solutions\, an initiative that combines the assets of the university toward the prevention and alleviation of poverty\, with additional support from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ASP Workshop: Contested Landscapes\, Competing Narratives: Armenian and Global Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Download workshop program here: https://lsa.umich.edu/content/dam/asp-assets/asp-documents/2019-Workshop-program.pdf\n\nThis Workshop will be devoted to the multi-facetted topic of contested historical landscapes. Bridging Armenian and global perspectives—encompassing a vast geography from Southeastern Europe to the Middle East and the post-Soviet space—the workshop participants will explore competing narratives on cultural heritage\, history and\, ultimately\, homeland. Drawing from the mutually-enriching expertise of different academic disciplines—from history and political science to sociology and anthropology—this workshop will excavate from the debris of 20th century landscapes silenced narratives on disappeared populations\, alien homelands and collective violence. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange. \n\nPhoto caption: Caption: Garmravank and Lake Van \nPhoto Credit: Anoush Suny

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Householdments
DESCRIPTION:John was born in Tokyo\, Japan in 1971. His family settled in Grand Rapids\, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan\, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Midland Center for the Arts\, the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born\, I have over my lifetime\, stitched together memories based on home movies\, family photos\, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
DESCRIPTION:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic\nJanuary 24\, 2019 – March 2\, 2019\n\nStamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic\, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series.  The Return to authoritarianism in Cambodia
DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, the Cambodian government dismantled the Cambodian National Rescue Party\, clamped down on civil liberties and organized elections in 2018 without the presence of a credible opposition party. The presentation examines the reasons underlying the government’s decision to close down democratic space by focusing on the following arguments. First\, the presence of some semblance of democracy in Cambodia was the outcome of the Western community’s pressure through its granting financial assistance and preferential trade access to Cambodia. So long as this order permitted the Cambodian People’s Party to maintain its domination\, it conceded to Western demands. Second\, by the 2013 elections\, key socio-economic and political changes culminated in a counter-movement to the CPP’s patronage-based politics. When the CPP felt that its grip on power was threatened\, it instituted hegemonic electoral authoritarianism. Third\, since Cambodia’s democracy is a product of Western intervention and continued engagement\, Cambodia’s recent return to authoritarianism can to great extent be attributed to China’s role as a counter-leverage to Western pressure.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Peter Hoff\, Professor\, Statistical Science Department\, Duke University
DESCRIPTION:Mixed effects models are used routinely to share information across  groups and to account for data dependence. The statistical properties of such models are often quite good on average across groups\, but may be poor for any specific group. For example\, commonly-used confidence interval procedures may maintain a target coverage rate on average across groups\, but\nhave near zero coverage rate for a group that differs substantially from the others. In this talk\, we review some basic mixed effects modeling tools\, discuss their group-specific properties\, and present some new tools for multiple  testing and inference problems that permit information sharing across  groups while controlling group-specific frequentist error rates.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Symposium: Public Engagements\, Digital Tools\, Global Contexts:  A Roundtable and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Public scholarship takes on different forms depending on the tools\, communities\, topics\, and time periods with which we engage. During this roundtable discussion\, a group of scholar-practitioners will cover a variety of approaches: digital projects looking at mobility in twentieth-century Accra\, Ghana\; explorations of the legacies of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment\; oral histories with Iranian Americans\; and museum collaborations aiming to build local community and dispel stereotypes about Arab Americans. Using their own public and digital work as a starting point\, the goal of the session is to spark conversations regarding the best principles\, challenges\, and rewards of doing publicly engaged scholarship within a global frame and across time periods. Presented in partnership with the Rackham Program in Public Scholarship.\n\nFeaturing:\nCamron Amin (University of Michigan Dearborn)\nValentina Denzel (Michigan State University)\nJennifer Hart (Wayne State University)\nMatthew Stiffler (Arab American National Museum)\nMatthew Villeneuve (chair\; University of Michigan)\n\nCamron Michael Amin joined the faculty at the University of Michigan-Dearborn in 1997. He currently serves as the history discipline representative\, coordinator of the Middle East Studies Certificate Program\, CASL representative to the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Governing Board\, principal investigator for the Michigan Iranian American Oral History Project\, and program chair for the 2018 Association for Iranian Studies Conference. He is currently president of the Association for Iranian Studies.\n\nValentina Denzel received her doctoral degree at Paris Diderot University (Paris 7) in comparative literature. Her primary field of research is seventeenth- and eighteenth-century French literature. In her book Les mille et un visages de la virago. Marfisa et Bradamante entre continuation et variation\, Garnier Classique 2016\, she analyzes the evolution of the representation of the woman warrior in French and Italian literatures from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment by taking into consideration the political and historical context of this evolution and the symbolic value of the woman warrior in each specific time period. Her interest in gender identities\, sexual orientation\, and transgression of gender roles led her to study more in detail the philosophical and literary movement of eighteenth-century French libertinism that challenged intellectually and morally the normative thinking propagated by the Church. The work of the Marquis de Sade is a case in point\, since he promotes gender identities that do not inscribe themselves into the binary system of female and male\, but complicate concepts of sex\, gender\, and sexual orientation that are linked to transgressive power relations between his protagonists. Valentina’s second book project analyzes the representation of violence\, gender\, and pornography in Sade’s oeuvres\, and its link to his own time period\, as well as his legacy in popular cultures. More specifically\, she will examine the Marquis de Sade’s impact on the punk and post-punk movements\, as well as on punk-porn feminism and comic books.\n\nJennifer Hart is an associate professor of History at Wayne State University. A historian of Africa\, her work focuses primarily on the history of technology and urban space in Ghana. She is the author of Ghana on the Go:  African Mobility in the Age of Motor Transportation (Indiana University Press\, 2016)\, which was a 2017 finalist for the Herskovits Prize. Her work has been published in the International Review of Social History\, International Journal of African Historical Studies\, and African Economic History. Since 2016\, Dr. Hart has been involved in shaping the emerging field of History Communications\, developing curriculum at the university and national level to help students build skills to translate historical research for public audiences on a number of media platforms.  This work grows out of her own public-facing scholarship\, writing on her own blog (www.ghanaonthego.com) and Africa is a Country\, collaborating with photographers Nana Osei Kwadwo and Nii Odzenma on the Instagram-imbedded art project This Trotro Life (@thistrotrolife)\, directing the digital humanities project Accra Wala\, and maintaining an active social media presence (@detroittoaccra).  She currently teaches courses in African history\, history communications\, digital history\, and digital humanities at Wayne State.\n\nMatthew Jaber Stiffler is the research and content manager at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn\, Michigan\, where he works with museum staff to accurately represent the diverse Arab American community through the museum’s collections\, exhibits\, and educational programming. Matthew has developed the museum’s food-based programming\, particularly the Yalla Eat! Culinary Walking Tours. Matthew also leads a national research initiative through ACCESS\, the largest Arab American non-profit in the country\, to secure better data about the Arab American community. Matthew received his PhD in American Culture from the University of Michigan in 2010\, where he serves as a lecturer in Arab and Muslim American Studies. He is currently a board member and treasurer of the Arab American Studies Association.\n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Presentation:IOE Lunch & Learn Seminar Series: Xubu Yue and Seokhyun Chung
DESCRIPTION:Open to all IOE graduate students and faculty. Lunch will be provided. In order to get an accurate count for food\, please RSVP by noon on Wednesday\, February 20.\n\n1st Presentation: Xubo Yue on \"Variational Inference of Joint Models using Multivariate Gaussian Convolution Processes\"\n\nAbstract:\nIn recent years\, the multivariate Gaussian process (MGP) has drawn significant attention as an efficient non-parametric approach to predict longitudinal signal trajectories. We would like to exploit the MGP to explore the following question: can we use both time-to-event data (also known as survival data) along with predicted longitudinal signals to obtain a reliable event prediction? In this work\, we present a non-parametric prognostic framework for individualized event prediction based on joint modeling of both longitudinal and time-to-event data. Our approach exploits a multivariate Gaussian convolution process (MGCP) to model the evolution of longitudinal signals and a Cox model to map time-to-event data with longitudinal data modeled through MGCP. Taking advantage of the unique structure imposed by convolved processes\, we provide a variational inference framework to simultaneously estimate parameters in the joint MGCP-Cox model. This facilitates scalability to large data settings and safeguards against model overfitting. Experiments on synthetic and real-world data show that the proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art approaches built on two-stage inference and strong parametric assumptions.\n\nBio: \nXubo Yue is a first-year Ph.D. student in the Industrial and Operations Engineering Department at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He holds a Master’s degree in Biostatistics from the University of Michigan\, and Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences and Applied Mathematics from the University of Macau. Xubo’s current research focuses on Multivariate Gaussian Processes and Bayesian optimization for reinforcement learning. \n\n\n2nd Presentation: Seokhyun Chung on \"Functional Principal Component Analysis for Extrapolating Multi-stream Longitudinal Data\"\n\nAbstract:\nThe advance of modern sensor technologies enables collection of multi-stream longitudinal data where multiple signals from different units are collected in real-time. In this article\, we present a non-parametric approach to predict the evolution of multi-stream longitudinal data for an in-service unit through borrowing strength from other historical units. Our approach first decomposes each stream into a linear combination of eigenfunctions and their corresponding functional principal component (FPC) scores. A Gaussian process prior for the FPC scores is then established based on a functional semi-metric that measures similarities between streams of historical units and the in-service unit. Finally\, an empirical Bayesian updating strategy is derived to update the established prior using real-time stream data obtained from the in-service unit. Experiments on synthetic and real-world data show that the proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art approaches and can effectively account for heterogeneity as well as achieve high predictive accuracy.\n\nBio:\nSeokhyun Chung is a first-year Ph.D. student in the Industrial and Operations Engineering Department at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He holds Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in industrial and management engineering from the Korea University. Seokhyun’s current research interests include development of machine learning and Bayesian non-parametric models in order to analyze large-scale data collected from IoT devices in connected environments such as smart factories\, wearable devices\, and battery management system for electric vehicles.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:In Conversation: Artist David Opdyke with writer Lawrence Weschler
DESCRIPTION:2019 Efroymson Emerging Artist David Opdyke and writer Lawrence Weschler discuss Opdyke's current exhibition\, Paved with Good Intentions\, and the relationship between culture\, politics\, the environment and art in a contemporary landscape fraught with disorder and turmoil. \n\nWIN ONE OF DAVID OPDYKE'S MICHIGAN POSTCARDS! Come to the event and you'll automatically be entered to win one of 10 vintage Michigan postcards painted on/modified by David Opdyke. Must be present to win.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor twenty years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nAbout Lawrence Weschler:\nLawrence Weschler was for over twenty years (1981-2002) a staff writer at \"The New Yorker\,\" where his work shuttled between political tragedies and cultural comedies. He is director emeritus of the New York Institute for the Humanities at NYU\, where he was director from 2001-2013. His nearly twenty books of political and cultural reportage include \"Seeing is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees\" (on Robert Irwin)\; \"Mr Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder\" (on the Museum of Jurassic Technology)\; \"Vermeer in Bosnia\"\; \"Everything that Rises: A Book of Convergences\"\; \"Domestic Scenes: The Art of Ramiro Gomez\"\; and forthcoming this summer\, \"And How Are You\, Doctor Sacks\,\" a biographical memoir of his friendship with the late neurologist Oliver Sacks.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Gender Harassment in Science: Is it Just Me?
DESCRIPTION:No\, it isn’t just you. Sexual harassment is rampant across the sciences and other male-dominated disciplines. Gender harassment in particular\, the “put downs” of sexual harassment\, are rarely recognized as creating a negative workplace for women and gender minorities. Yet gender harassment is the most prevalent and frequent form of harassment\, and thus has similar negative outcomes for women compared to the kinds of singly traumatic sexual events described more often in the media. In this talk\, I will show how the history and culture of science creates white masculine ideals that permeate its modern practice\, and how these ideals in turn influence the lived experience\, productivity\, and inclusion of women of color and white women. I will draw from recent publications as well as upcoming projects to demonstrate the ways in which people who are sexually harassed 1) question the validity of their experience\, 2) question their scientific identity and worth\, and 3) become targeted for intersecting forms of harassment depending on their other identities (e.g.\, gender identity\, race\, sexuality).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Friday Museums Seminar - Conservation Genetics of the Partulidae
DESCRIPTION:Partulid tree snails are endemic to the Pacific high islands and represent one of the most infamous examples of oceanic island mass extinctions. Although they collectively range across ~10\,000 km of Oceania\, half of their species diversity is endemic to a single Eastern Pacific hot spot archipelago\, the Society Islands. Using a combination of museum\, captive\, and remnant wild snails\, we obtained the first high-resolution nuclear genomic perspective of the evolutionary relationships of all five genera comprising 43 of the 104 recognized species\, including many extinct or extirpated taxa\, from 14 archipelagoes. We present range wide phylogenomic relationships among the five genera and a more detailed perspective of the evolutionary relationships within the genus Partula\, highlighting the survival and extinction of endemic Society Island Partula from the well-studies islands of Moorea and Tahiti.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FOMP Lecture: Inference to the Best Explanation as a Form of Non-Deductive Reasoning in Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:The confirmation of hypotheses in mathematics by mathematical evidence short of proof has received insufficient attention. I will propose one way to think about some of these cases. I will also suggest one way to model such confirmation using the resources of the probability calculus -- in something like the way that some confirmation of certain scientific hypotheses is modeled (but without denying the status of mathematical truths as necessary).\n\nSponsored by the Foundations of Modern Physics reading group (a Rackham interdisciplinary working group) and the Philosophy Department.\nhttps://sites.lsa.umich.edu/fomp/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Leveraging Information Theory to Practical Machine Learning: Minimum Description Length Regularization for Online Learning
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Classical online learning techniques enforce a prior distribution on the objective to be optimized in order to induce model sparsity.  Such prior distributions are chosen with mathematical convenience in mind\, but not necessarily for being the best priors.  The Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle is usually used with two pass strategies\, one for feature selection\, and a second one for optimization with the selected features.\n\nAn approach inspired by the Minimum Description Length principle is proposed for adaptively selecting and regularizing features during online learning based on their usefulness in improving the objective.  The approach eliminates noisy or useless features from the optimization process\, leading to improved loss.  By utilizing the MDL principle\, this approach enables an optimizer to reduce the problem dimensionality to the subspace of the feature space for which the smallest loss is obtained.  The approach can be tuned for trading off between model sparsity and accuracy.  Empirical results on large scale practical real-world systems demonstrate how it improves such tradeoffs.  Huge model size reductions can be achieved with no loss in performance relative to standard techniques\, while moderate loss improvements (which can translate to large regret improvements) are achieved with moderate size reductions.  The results also demonstrate that overfitting is mitigated by this approach.  Analysis shows that the approach can achieve the loss of optimizing with the best feature subset.\n\nBio: Gil Shamir received the B.Sc. (Cum Laude)\, and M.Sc. degrees from the Technion\, Israel – Institute of Technology\, Haifa\, Israel in 1990 and 1997\, respectively\, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Notre Dame\, Notre Dame\, IN\, U.S.A. in 2000\, all in electrical engineering.\n\nFrom 1990 to 1995 he participated in research and development of signal processing and communication systems.  From 1995 to 1997 he was with the Electrical Engineering Department at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology\, as a graduate student and teaching assistant. From 1997 to 2000 he was a Ph.D. student and a research assistant in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Notre Dame\, and then a post-doctoral fellow until 2001. During his tenure at Notre Dame he was a fellow of the Center for Applied Mathematics of the university.  Between 2001 and 2008 he was with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Utah\, and between 2008 and 2009 with Seagate Research.  Since 2009 he has been with Google.  His main research interests include information theory\, machine learning\, coding and communication theory.  Dr. Shamir received an NSF CAREER award in 2003.\n\nFor more information on MIDAS or the Seminar Series\, please contact midas-contact@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jared Deck
DESCRIPTION:Maybe you heard Jared Deck doing a wonderful set at the Ark stage during the 2018 Ann Arbor Art Fair—now he's back for a full evening of his remarkable music\, with a new album in tow. Jared takes life one fight at a time. \"The battle has always been internal\, overcoming my own failures and working to improve\,\" he says. Raised on the dusty plains of an Oklahoma family farm\, Jared worked in the fields as well as the town grocery\, owned by his parents. \"In a community of 1\,200 people\, big dreams seem impossible. We're taught to manage expectations\, put our nose down\, and get to work.\" Later he worked in an oilfield and a factory. During the Great Recession he got by with a job as a pianist in a black church\, where over the next six years\, he received an unparalleled musical education. Now\, with his self-titled debut album\, Jared tells stories in an honest voice of midland America. His song \"The American Dream\" won first place in the annual Woody Guthrie Folk Festival Songwriting Competition\, and he comes to Michigan with a brand new release\, \"Bully Pulpit.\"\n\nThis show is free at the door for Ark members at the Solo level and above.

SUMMARY:Performance:Love and Information
DESCRIPTION:A dramatic comedy by Caryl Churchill\nDepartment of Theatre & Drama \nDirected by Gillian Eaton\n\nLove and Information features 57 short\, hilarious\, and poignant vignettes with over 100 unnamed characters trying to communicate with each other in today’s world of shortened attention spans and vast societal sharing.  Spouses\, friends\, siblings\, and colleagues are dramatized in the middle of conversations as they deal with endless streams of data that can possibly alter relationships. They interrupt.  They finish each other’s thoughts. They think they have finished each other’s thoughts. With so much sharing\, when does TMI really become TMI?  How do we love in a world with so much information? This is a play about individuals trying to connect with and understand one another.\n\nWritten in 2012\, Love and Information distills the societal forces shaping our lives. Considered one of Great Britain’s greatest living playwrights\, Caryl Churchill is well known for her provocative and relevant plays that are remarkably varied in both structure and topic. Her best-known works\, Cloud Nine\, Top Girls\, Serious Money\, Far Away\, and A Number\, combine a darkly funny imagination with a strong political viewpoint. “Leave it to Ms. Churchill to come up with a work that so ingeniously and exhaustively mirrors our age of the splintered attention span.
