She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Yes\, it’s offensive—an incredibly painful slur. But that same pain is something that I\, unfortunately\, think of when I think of home. I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”\n\nValery Jung Estabrook was born in Plantation\, Florida\, and grew up on an organic pear farm in rural southwestern Virginia. She holds an MFA in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in visual art from Brown University. Her work has been exhibited in major cities both domestically and internationally\, including New York\, Los Angeles\, Lagos\, Bilbao\, and Melbourne. In 2018 she received the Gold AHL-T&W Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Award\, an annual award recognizing artists of Korean heritage in the United States. She currently resides in Albuquerque and teaches experimental art at the University of New Mexico.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.\n#skyshapes\n\nJeffrey Lancaster has done a lot of different things and worn a number of very different hats: chemist\, artist\, historian\, librarian\, developer\, educator. He’s a curious person with a breadth and depth of interests and experiences\, and loves to bring that diversity of thought to bear on new problems\, some of his own making and some from other people. He has a BFA from Washington University\, an MS from Oxford\, and a PhD from Columbia University in chemistry. Lancaster is based in Rutherford\, NJ where he freelances as a product developer and educational & business consultant. He is co-founder and chief technology officer of Fondo\, a startup focused on helping young people visualize their paths into the future of work via structured serendipity and exploration. \n\nLee Marchalonis is a Lecturer in Stamps School of Art & Design and lead printer at Signal Return letterpress shop in Detroit’s Eastern Market. She has a MFA in printmaking from the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville where she also worked as a letterpress printer at Yee-Haw Industries. She has printed professionally at Kala Institute in Berkeley\, California and studied book arts at the University of Iowa. She was a recipient of a year long Stein Scholarship at the Center for Book Arts in New York City in 2013\, and her work is in Special Collections libraries throughout the U.S.\n\nEllen Rutt is a Detroit-based interdisciplinary artist and activist who has a BFA from the Stamps School of Art & Design. She makes bold mixed-media paintings\, murals\, installations and wearables. Her recent solo show ‘This Must Be The Place” was created in large part through a process of travelling the globe & capturing visual elements or ‘environmental mementos’ through direct tracing of the physical environment\, both natural & human-made. Rutt has exhibited her work nationally and most recently completed her second artist residency at Temple Children in Hilo\, Hawaii.\n\nAbout the Curator:\n\nAndrew Thompson is a sculptor and installation artist\, educator\, curator\, and musician based in Southwest Detroit. Thompson grew up in Kansas City\, MO and received his BFA in Sculpture from the Kansas City Art Institute. Thompson moved from Cowtown to Motown to receive his MFA in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art. He has been exhibiting his sculptures and installations throughout Southeast Michigan for over a decade and helps to curate and coordinate shows at a number of venues including as an exhibition committee member with Detroit Artists Market. He is a lecturer in the Stamps School of Art & Design and has taught at a number of other schools\, most notably for one year at Antioch College in Yellow Springs\, OH.

The same territory is at once imagined and claimed by disparate yet overlapping groups in often mutually exclusive ways as Western Armenia\, Eastern Turkey\, and Northern Kurdistan. This geography has been home to many peoples over centuries\, including Armenians until the 1915 Catastrophe decimated the Ottoman Armenian community and scattered its survivors across the world\, where they founded new homes in the diaspora.\n\nAs a result of the rupture of 1915\, the Armenian Diaspora came into intimate contact with other communities across the globe. At the same time\, on the ancestral lands of the exiled Western Armenians\, the material and immaterial remnants of their community live on\, animated by the memories and narratives recounted by the muslim Kurds\, Turks\, and Arabs who continue to live there. Taken together\, these constitute two asymmetrically mirroring spaces in which afterlives of Western Armenia continue to develop in dynamic relationships with contemporary political and social processes. What are the afterlives of these histories\, communities\, and trajectories bound up in the notion of Western Armenia? What are the ongoing effects of the 1915 Genocide of Ottoman Armenians\, both in the geography where the mass killing and expropriation took place a century ago and in the diasporic communities where Armenians continue to live today? How are histories of violence and exile inscribed both on the landscape through ruins and in the memories of local communities? And how are they reinterpreted and expressed through literature\, art\, and language?\n\nCosponsors: College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; Departments of Anthropology\, Comparative Literature\, and History\; Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\; Global Islamic Studies Center\; Global Theories of Critique\; and Institute for the Humanities. \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.

The first part of that talk will cover some well-known background on the statistical approach computer experiments. This will take place in the context of ongoing work for ChemCam\, an instrument on the Mars rover Curiosity whose goal is to determine whether Mars ever had conditions that could have supported microbial life. ChemCam uses laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy to analyze the chemical composition of Martian soil and rocks. Our goal is to use the resulting spectra and a LANL-developed predictive model to estimate the elemental abundances from surface samples. The second part of the talk will cover new work to address computer experiments from exascale supercomputers. The next generation of supercomputers are expected to have I/O limitations relative to their computing ability: they will simulate more than they can save. This requires changes to our usual post-hoc analysis scheme. To address this\, we are developing approaches to in situ statistical inference\, statistical modeling that gets done inside simulations as they are running. Our early work considers modeling extremes for climate and space weather.

The exhibit is a tribute to antiquarian bookseller and outstanding Americanist William S. Reese (1955-2018)\, drawing upon Reese's 2017 book \"The Best of the West\" for its descriptions of the titles on display. \n\nThe books and pamphlets in the exhibition range chronologically from Miguel Venegas' 1757 \"Noticia de la California\" to Thomas F. Dawson & F. J. V. Skiff's 1879 \"The Ute War.\" In between are dozens of the rarest examples of western Americana primary sources\, in Spanish\, French\, English\, and German.

But carbon pricing has struggled politically in the United States and abroad. It remains among the least likely climate policies to be adopted and among the most likely to be reversed if approved. \n\nThis lecture by Professor Barry Rabe will examine political challenges across each stage of the policy life-cycle\, considering not only the impediments to carbon pricing\, but also key design elements of the more successful and durable policies to date. \n\nProfessor Barry Rabe\, J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Professor of Public Policy at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan\, is a political scientist trained at the University of Chicago. He is a non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and an elected fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration. He is also the author of five books\, including “Can We Price Carbon?” (MIT Press\, 2018) and is the recipient of four research awards from the American Political Science Association. \n\nThis is lecture #2 in five-part series \"Facing the Future: The Challenge of Climate Change\" which explores how climate change is impacting every corner of our earth\, and every aspect of our lives.

In particular\, it draws from her in-progress book At the Sea’s Edge that considers the oceanic not only as an archive of coloniality\, and a receptacle and spectacle of planetary ruins\, but as a dynamic life force and historical shaper in relation to the forces of racial and extractive capitalism. Thinking with submerged perspectives primarily in the trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic\, Gómez-Barris expands upon Kamau Brathwaite’s concept of tidealectics as key to understanding how to move within and beyond the colonial anthropocene.

The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988496@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T181705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200214T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200214T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cullen Washington\, Jr.: The Public Square DESCRIPTION:This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington\, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series\, Agoras. The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs.

The gender pay gap is receiving increasing internal attention across organizations. However\, managers tasked with addressing this gap (or any demographic gap\, for that matter) have limited quantitative tools available to help them. Even if it were possible for them to analyze the gap\, they would still need to determine what salary adjustments to make and for which employees in order to create a more equitable pay structure. We address this deficit in tools and knowledge by developing a methodological solution that analyzes the company's pay gap and suggests salary adjustments in order to close it. To create this solution\, we introduce a fairness driven optimization formulation that can account for multiple operational constraints. As a side step we show the unintended consequences of applying a cost minimization to this challenge\, which can leave organizations in worse off. Finally\, we answer the question of how to determine whether the gap is closed\, applying equivalence testing in this new context. \n\nBio:\nDr. Bjarndóttir is an Assistant Professor of Management Science and Statistics at Robert H. Smith School of Business. Dr. Bjarnadóttir’s research focuses on data-driven decision-making\, combining traditional operations research approaches with data analytics and machine learning. In addition to the main focus of her work\, which is health care\, she has applied analytical models to contexts in finance and sports and\, most recently\, to people analytics\, where her work has been covered by outlets such as HBR\, Forbes\, BBC\, HR magazine and others. She teaches quantitative modeling and data analytics at the graduate level both in the traditional classroom format as well as online\, and has received multiple awards including the Krowe Teaching Award. Her work has been published in Operations Research\, POM and Org Science. Dr. Bjarnadóttir holds a B.Sc. degree in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering from the University of Iceland (2001) and a Ph.D. in Operations Research from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2008).

Quite simply\, you don’t get to do business in China today without doing exactly what the Chinese government wants you to do. Period. No one is immune. No one. As someone who has lived and worked in China\, advised companies about investing there\, and quite happily been described as a China bull\, I have struggled to accept this fateful conclusion in the era of Xi Jinping. Like some other China Bulls\, I had believed the early promises of Deng Xiaoping\, Jiang Zemin\, and Zhu Rongji about China’s fair and open future\, open markets\, the emergence of a rule of law system. To be clear\, I am still very bullish on the strength and trajectory of the Chinese economy – China *will* continue to grow and it *will* surpass the US as the largest economy in the world. However\, the current era is just a much darker period for everyone\, including Multinational Corporations (MNCs). There is no free lunch for doing business in Xi's China – especially for technology companies. China *will* get its pound of flesh as the cost of operating there: you get to operate here and gain access to the the most innovative supply chain in the world and world's largest marketplace\; and China gets what it wants in terms of benefits to Chinese economy and society (as defined by the Chinese Government). Based on three decades of China research — including thousands of interviews — and\, most recently\, my time as an executive for Apple in China (2014-19)\, this talk attempts to lay out what my views on how China has co-opted the business community in the era of Xi Jinping.

Du Bois’s career in the 1940’s was his return to the NAACP and subsequent participation at the United Nations Conference on International Organization (UNCIO) from April to June of 1945 as a consultant to the United States delegation. This essay traces Du Bois’s transnational democratic thought during his work with the UN and the NAACP in the 1940s and beyond. Pushing against nation-centered framings of Du Bois’s democratic politics that place the problem of racial equality within the nation\, I explore how Du Bois used the language of “colonial status” and “colonial peoples” to connect domestic racial hierarchies in the United States to colonial hierarchies abroad. Focusing on unpublished speeches\, essays\, and correspondence\, I argue that Du Bois exploits the conceptual elasticity of terms like “colonialism” and “colony” in order to build a transnational majority on a global scale\, constituting what he would call in an unpublished 1935 essay\, “a pragmatic program for a dark minority.” The conceptual capaciousness of the term “colony” allows Du Bois to connect disparate forms of domination across boundaries of race\, nation\, and empire\, thus binding colonial and semi-colonial peoples together in a common program of international action. The fruition of these efforts\, I argue\, is Du Bois’s 1948 petition to the United Nations\, An Appeal to the World. Through distinct rhetorical strategies and the appropriation of international legal discourse\, Du Bois contests the bifurcation of domestic and international politics and expands the spatial scale of democracy by placing civil rights struggles in imperial context.\n\nAdam Dahl's research and teaching interests are in American political thought\, democratic theory\, the politics of race and indigeneity\, and political theories of empire and colonialism. His first book\, Empire of the People: Settler Colonialism and the Foundations of Modern Democratic Thought (University Press of Kansas\, 2018)\, examines the constitutive role of settler colonialism in shaping modern norms of democratic legitimacy. His current project\, tentatively titled Transnational Democracy in the Americas\, explores the interconnected dynamics of internationalism\, anti-imperialism\, and transnational citizenship in the American democratic tradition\, focusing on the political thought of Ottobah Cugoano\, Frederick Douglass\, Randolph Bourne\, W.E.B. Du Bois\, C.L.R. James\, and Herman Melville.\n\nThe Political Theory Workshop provides a venue for political theory-oriented scholarship broadly construed. Participants include theoretically-inclined members of social science and humanities departments across the University of Michigan\, as well as institutions throughout southwest Michigan.

We highlight the first such example and then turn to a subsequent systematic exploration of the landscape of F-theory three-family Standard Models with a gauge coupling unification. Employing algebraic geometry techniques\, all global consistency conditions of these models can be reduced to a single geometric criterion on the base of the underlying elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau four-folds. For toric bases\, this criterion only depends on an associated polytope and is satisfied for at least quadrillion bases\, each of which defines a distinct compactification.

Modern analogues of terrestrial habitats from ~450 million years ago include cryptogamic ground covers (CGCs)\, which contain a mix of primitive biotas such as the non-vascular bryophyte plants (mosses\, liverworts\, hornworts)\, lichens\, fungi\, algae\, and bacteria. Some modern liverworts and hornworts form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi and cyanobacteria\, a mutualistic relationship regarded as a primitive method of nutrient acquirement from mineral substrates which was likely occurring deep in the geologic past to create some of the earliest ‘bio-soils’. In this talk I will present interdisciplinary efforts to better understand the chemical\, physical and mechanical processes of plant-symbiont-soil interactions and nutrient acquirement in modern analogues of early terrestrial biospheres. In particular\, I will focus on cutting edge multi-dimensional (2D – 3D) and multi-scale (cm – nm) correlative imaging methods with a view to applying this to methods of weathering\, nutrient extraction and biological interactions in the geologic past.

We—a group of faculty\, staff\, and students -- have become actively involved in the University’s strategic plan for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion and gained visibility across the university. For over two years\, the IWG was run through the Arab and Muslim American Studies Program in American Culture\; starting in Winter 2019\, the IWG is led by CMENAS housed in the International Institute. Our work is driven by issues brought to the group by any student\, staff\, or faculty member. The group strategizes as a collective to figure out the best approach to a given issue. Thus\, if you encounter a pertinent issue\, we want to know about it and we welcome your participation in the group. If you would like to join our email list or come to a meeting\, please contact Professor Samer Ali (samerali@umich.edu). \n---\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.

Further\, despite many different kinds of efforts\, linguists have not been as successful as we might hope in advocating for the centrality of language within the imperative toward inclusion and justice. Yet\, part of diversity is linguistic diversity\; part of equity is linguistic equity\; part of inclusion is linguistic inclusion\; and part of access is linguistic access. \n \nIn this talk\, I’ll explore some of the ways that linguists can have more success in our efforts to enhance linguistic justice through embracing and engaging with ongoing as well as emerging shifts in the discipline. By framing linguistic inclusion in the context of standardized language privilege\, I present what we know about linguistic discrimination\, pinpoint the linguistic stakes of efforts towards inclusion\, highlight some flashpoints that occur in public discussions about language such as with pronouns and political correctness\, and offer some concrete steps that we as linguists can take to effectively advocate for the importance of language at all levels of intervention linked to greater equity and justice.

Consent-based siting has emerged as a way to overcome some of these challenges. Yet consent itself is a complex concept. How do we define consent? Who has the right to consent? How does geographic context shape the way consent gets negotiated? These are questions I seek to explore in this discussion\, drawing from qualitative fieldwork conducted in two communities in Southern Ontario that volunteered to be part of Canada’s search for a willing host for a spent fuel repository. I intend to demonstrate how particular socio-political and economic nuclear landscapes shape how consent is understood\, the importance of recognizing and incorporating various voices in the process\, and why thresholds for consent might paradoxically need to be higher in existing nuclear communities. \n\n\nSpeaker: Marissa Bell\, Department of Geography at SUNY University at Buffalo \nMarissa Bell is a PhD candidate in the Department of Geography at SUNY University at Buffalo and a research fellow at the Institute for International Science and Technology Policy at George Washington University. Interested in energy justice\, environmental governance\, and political economy of risk\, her dissertation work examines how geographic context and socio-political dynamics shape the implementation\, community engagement\, and perceived legitimacy of consent-based policies for siting high level nuclear waste in Canada. She contends with the need for nuclear waste storage\, on the one hand\, with the need for more equitable\, fair and just methods of siting through community engagement\, geographic context\, and attention to process. Born in London\, UK\, but having grown up across European and American cultures\, she has always been interested in how space and place influence decision-making and identity formation. Prior to embarking on a PhD\, Marissa completed a BA at King’s College London\, with a focus on European geopolitical identity\, followed by an MA at the University at Buffalo\, focusing on the risk tradeoff between climate change and nuclear risks post-Fukushima. In other research\, Marissa has examined localized opposition to wind turbine installation in upstate New York\, reflecting her broader underlying interest in energy justice and sustainable energy transitions.
