SUMMARY:Exhibition:Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self
DESCRIPTION:Through this exhibit\, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center\, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative\, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing\, and from factual to purely fictional. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:HH(C)*/An American Interior
DESCRIPTION:Hometown Hero (Chink): An American Interior\, by Valery Jung Estabrook\, re-creates a life-size living room sewn by hand\, suggestive of the artist’s history growing up in rural southwestern Virginia.The installation includes a custom upholstered recliner embellished with a Confederate Flag motif\, and a plush TV emanating country music karaoke sung by the artist.The exhibition challenges the notions of heritage\, Southern nationalism and “traditional” American culture\, providing a window into the tensions of being a perpetual foreigner in one’s own hometown. \n\nReflecting on her exhibition title\, Estabrook states\, “The second part of the title\, “Chink\,” is a word that is fundamentally linked to my lifelong experience as an Asian American. 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.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Shodo-Japanese Calligraphy
DESCRIPTION:Shodo-Japanese Calligraphy: Shodo is the art of drawing characters with brush and ink to express spiritual depth through the beauty of the brush strokes. Calligraphy began in China\, but in Japan\, both Kanji (Chinese characters) and Kana (Japanese phonetic characters) are combined and devised to create a uniquely Japanese art. With the brush soaked in ink\, the thickness and the tone of the characters can be controlled. In this way\, a calligrapher expresses his or her own spirit and thought. In the class\, students will express and practice the art of Japanese calligraphy with a brush and black ink\, learning both Kana and Kanji characters. The drawing process itself encourages a calming of the mind and peacefulness\, similar to a form of meditation. Tools provided for classroom only. This is an art class with black ink\, so you might want to wear a smock or cloth that can be washed. Konomi Shinohara Corbin taught the first Calligraphy class offered at the University of Michigan some years ago. She has taught Japanese Language at both the University of Michigan and at Eastern Michigan University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Earth Day Teach-In: Prof. Mark Moldwin
DESCRIPTION:As part of the U-M's Earth Day at 50 celebration\, CLASP Prof. Mark Moldwin will lead a Teach-In titled \"The Climate Consequences of Nuclear War.\" \nPlease join us in room CSRB 2238 of the Climate and Space Research Building. \n\nWith the end of the Cold War\, fear of nuclear war has receded from the consciousness of much of society. With the Trump administration’s foreign policy (withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear deal\, saber-rattling and then negotiations with North Korea\, the attack of post-WWII international organizations and alliances\, and the recent withdrawal from the Intermediate Nuclear Force agreement with Russia) the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has moved the Doomsday Clock ahead to 100 seconds to midnight (the closest to catastrophe the clock has been since 1953 when the USSR first detonated a hydrogen bomb). This discussion-based seminar describes the climate and space weather consequences of nuclear war to remind us of the apocalyptic fate of civilization that nuclear weapons can unleash and examines what we can do to reduce this threat.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Local Trust in UN Peacekeeping Operations: Survey Evidence from the Democratic Republic of the Congo
DESCRIPTION:Please join IPC for a Ford Security Seminar with Tom O'Mealia. O'Mealia will be discussing his working paper co-authored by Patrick Vinck and Phuong Pham.\n\nPeacekeeping operations rely on the support of the local population both to gather information and to solidify peace. To gain such support\, missions must cultivate trust with the residents in the areas in which they operate. We develop a theory of a transactional model of trust with international peacekeeping missions: those who interact with and benefit from UN peacekeeping missions are more likely to trust it. We find support for this theory leveraging two waves of an original\, representative survey of more than 12\,000 adults in three eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo and an additional sample of more than 5\,000 civilians in areas directly around peacekeeping bases. Our results show that civilians are more likely to express trust in the peacekeeping mission if they have direct contact with it. But this result is driven by those who come into contact with the civilian aspects of the mission\; in contrast\, those who only come into contact with the military parts of the mission are less likely to support the mission. These results suggest that to garner the support of the civilians it is sent to protect\, peacekeeping missions must provide more than security.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Understanding Cultural Persistence and Change
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe examine a determinant of cultural persistence that has emerged from a class of models in evolutionary anthropology: the similarity of the environment across generations. Within these models\, when the environment is more similar across generations\, the traits that have evolved up to the previous generation are more likely to be optimal for the current generation. In equilibrium\, a greater value is placed on tradition and there is greater cultural persistence. We test this hypothesis by measuring the variability of different climatic measures across 20-year generations from 500-1900. Employing a variety of tests\, each using different samples and empirical strategies\, we find that populations with ancestors who lived in environments with more cross-generational instability place less importance in maintaining tradition today and exhibit less cultural persistence.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Lunchtime Conversation about \"White Fragility\"
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the University of Michigan community.  Please RSVP. Lunch will be served starting at 11:45am.\n\nPlease join us for a lunchtime conversation about \"White Fragility\" with Professor Alford A. Young. This lunchtime conversation is designed to prepare attendees for Robin DiAngelo's March 13th visit to the University of Michigan. From a public policy lens\, Professor Young will evaluate the impact that public policies—both current and historical—have on racial and/or ethnic inequalities and discuss how it relates to other dimensions of social life. \n\nAlford A. Young\, Jr. is the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Departments of Sociology and Afroamerican and African Studies\, with a courtesy appointment at the Ford School of Public Policy. He serves as associate director of U-M's Center for Social Solutions and faculty director for scholar engagement and leadership at Michigan's National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID). He has pursued research on low-income\, urban-based African Americans\, employees at an automobile manufacturing plant\, African American scholars and intellectuals\, and the classroom-based experiences of higher-education faculty as they pertain to diversity and multiculturalism. He employs ethnographic interviewing as his primary data collection method. His objective in research on low-income African American men\, his primary area of research\, has been to argue for a renewed cultural sociology of the African American urban poor. Young received an MA and PhD in sociology from the University of Chicago.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Paper Workshop: \"Dressing up as a Queen to save the Crown: the Duchesse de Berry's Quadrille de Marie Stuart\"
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Nineteenth Century Forum (NCF) for a paper workshop with Isabelle Marie Anne Gillet.\n\nAt the French Royal Court in 1829\, the Duchesse de Berry hosted a themed costume ball\, centered on Mary Stuart\, and subsequently commissioned Eugène Lami to illustrate the event. Lami’s album\, a lavish\, hand-colored\, extremely limited edition compilation of lithographs\, known as the Quadrille de Marie Stuart\, raises complex questions about the rhetorical powers of representation in mobilizing collective memory to affect individuals’ understanding of the present. This article argues that the album constructs how the ball should be remembered and that its production served to unify the memory of the event\, for the guests\, its exclusive recipients\, as a visual aide-mémoire of their elaborate costumes and the tableaux-vivants they enacted. \n\nWhat has eluded scholars is the level to which Berry\, a known political schemer\, oversaw the spectacle\, the audience’s experience\, and the production of its illustrated pendant. Following in the footsteps of recent historical scholarship on female figures and their contribution to crafting their public image\, I consider how the lithographic album\, as a tangible extension of Berry’s image\, displays the dexterity with which she manipulated visual and cultural materials to serve her own political agenda. Previously undiscussed letters from the artist reveal Berry’s involvement as well as the rising urgency of the political moment. Masked balls at the court were common in Restoration France\; yet the care and attention to the production of the album commemorating this one point to a larger motive\, namely the Duchesse’s political aspirations for herself and her son\, on the eve of the Revolution of 1830. \n\nTo RSVP and receive a copy of the pre-circulated paper\, please email Ani Bezirdzhyan abezirdz@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Understanding Cultural Persistence and Change
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe examine a determinant of cultural persistence that has emerged from a class of models in evolutionary anthropology: the similarity of the environment across generations. Within these models\, when the environment is more similar across generations\, the traits that have evolved up to the previous generation are more likely to be optimal for the current generation. In equilibrium\, a greater value is placed on tradition and there is greater cultural persistence. We test this hypothesis by measuring the variability of different climatic measures across 20-year generations from 500-1900. Employing a variety of tests\, each using different samples and empirical strategies\, we find that populations with ancestors who lived in environments with more cross-generational instability place less importance in maintaining tradition today and exhibit less cultural persistence.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:American Mah-Jongg for the Novice
DESCRIPTION:Don’t know your Bam from your Crak? Then come learn American Mah-Jongg. American Mah-Jongg is a fascinating and rewarding game of skill and chance. It was originally brought to this country in the 1920s by Standard Oil executive Joseph Babcock\, who rewrote and simplified the rules\, forever distinguishing the game from the traditional version. If you have wanted to learn to play American Mah-Jongg or are just curious about the game\, this is the course for you. You will learn to recognize the tiles\, read and understand the “hands”\, and practice playing with ongoing review and support. The course is taught by Miriam Shaw\, an expert player of many years’ experience. The purchase of a current Mah-Jongg card is included in the class price.  Classes run on Mondays from March 9 through 30.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cognitive Science Seminar Series: The challenge of heritability: genetic determinants of beliefs and their implications
DESCRIPTION:Wade Munroe\, postdoctoral research fellow in the Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science\, will give a talk titled \"The challenge of heritability: genetic determinants of beliefs and their implications.\"\n\nABSTRACT\n\nEthical\, political\, and religious attitudes are not randomly distributed in a population. Attitudes of family members\, for example\, tend to be more similar than those of a random sample of the same size. In the fields of social psychology and political science\, the historically standard explanation for these attitude distribution patterns was that social and political attitudes are (at least partially) a function of environmental factors like parental socialization and prevailing social norms. This received view is\, however\, complicated by more recent work in behavioral genetics\, which consistently and repeatedly demonstrates that certain ethical and political attitudes dealing with issues like censorship\, abortion\, capital punishment\, and immigration policy have a significant heritability coefficient\, to wit\, a substantial percentage of attitude variance in a population can be attributed to genetic variance\, independent of environmental factors. In this paper\, I argue that the genetic influence on our ethical and political attitudes is mediated by what we can agree—without relying on any first-order ethical or political claims—to be irrelevant and distorting factors that can lead moral reasoning astray. Further\, I argue that we should significantly lower our credences in ethical and political attitudes that fall within the domains of belief that involve significant genetic influence.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financing the Sustainability Enterprise
DESCRIPTION:Sustainability (environmental\, social & governance values) is not 'a thing' but 'the way we do things'.  It is about mainstreaming sustainability. To communicate this we will be talking about integration of sustainability metrics and values at three levels of implementation:\n1. Within the fence of an organization:  How are sustainable principles implemented at the unit level?\n2. Outside the fence of the organization:  How are sustainability principles implemented across supply chains?\n3. Conditioning capital investment in sustainability:  What is sustainable capital\, how is capital deployment impacted by sustainability metrics?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Freedom Writings: Black Abolitionists and the Struggle Against \"Race Hatred\" in Brazil - 1870-1890
DESCRIPTION:How do you think about the experiences of freedom among black people in Brazil before the end of slavery in 1888? Interested in this question\, this lecture presents a reflection on the experiences of free and literate black men\, who were active in the press\, as well as in the political-cultural landscape of the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in the second half of the nineteenth century. Ferreira de Menezes\, Luiz Gama\, Machado de Assis\, José do Patrocinio\, Ignacio de Araújo Lima\, Arthur Carlos and Theophilo Dias de Castro are the central subjects in this narrative\, along with so many other “free men of color” who sought in different ways to conquer and maintain their spaces in the public debate about the Brazil’s paths\, while relying on the sustainability of their own individual projects. Against the grain of “ race hatred” daily practices\, they not only contributed to debates on daily\, abolitionist\, black and literary newspapers\, but also led the creation of resistance\, confrontation and dialogue tools and mechanisms.\n\nAna Flávia Magalhães Pinto is an adjunct professor in the Department of History at the University of Brasília. She received her PhD in History from the State University of Campinas\, her MA in History from the University of Brasília\, and her BA in Journalism from The University Center of Brasília. Pinto has developed research articulating knowledge in the areas of History\, Communication\, Literature and Education\, with an emphasis on political-cultural performance of black thinkers\, black press\, abolitionism and experiences of black freedom and citizenship in the slavery period and post-abolition in Brazil and elsewhere in the African Diaspora.\n\nThis lecture will take place on Monday\, March 9\, at 4:00pm in 1014 Tisch Hall.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Freshwater Stories: Optics\, Governance\, and Adaptation around the Great Lakes
DESCRIPTION:There is a plausible bright future for communities in the Great Lakes basin.  Holding over 20% of the world’s fresh water\, the much-maligned Rust Belt could transform into the Water Belt marked by innovation in agriculture and production and welcoming to waves of climate migrants. Yet no framework of regulation\, governance\, or funding currently exists to ensure such outcomes.  Instead public subsidy of extractive and polluting corporations persists.  Along with lax enforcement of regulation\, there are no mechanisms to deal with agricultural runoff\, plastics\, and pharmaceuticals.  How to get from here to the Water Belt? \n\nRachel Havrelock’s work shows how the necessary knowledge about water systems resides at the local level where community members struggle with particular forms of privatization\, extraction\, and pollution. Not only do stories about these contests over water illuminate global processes\, but they also chart a course forward. Reflecting on stories she has collected across the Great Lakes basin\, Havrelock will share prominent ideas about life around the remarkable freshwater seas.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Shedding 'Nu' Light on the Nature of Matter:\nThe Search for Majorana Neutrinos
DESCRIPTION:Why is the universe dominated by matter\, and not antimatter? Neutrinos\, with their changing flavors and tiny masses\, could provide an answer. If the neutrino is a Majorana particle\, meaning that it is its own antiparticle\, it would reveal the origin of the neutrino’s mass\, demonstrate that lepton number is not a conserved symmetry of nature\, and provide a path to leptogenesis in the early universe. To discover whether this is the case\, we must search for neutrinoless double-beta decay\, a theorized process that would occur in some nuclei. By searching for this extremely rare decay\, we can explore new physics at energy scales that only existed in the seconds following the Big Bang.\n\nDetecting this extremely rare process\, however\, requires us to build very large detectors with very low background rates. Experiments using germanium detectors\, like the Majorana Demonstrator\, which is currently running\, and LEGEND-200\, which is moving forward quickly\, are a promising strategy to explore lifetimes of up to 10^{28} years. The current generation of experiments have achieved the lowest backgrounds of any technique\, and have a clear path forward to move to the ton-scale. I’ll present recent results from the Demonstrator\, an update on LEGEND-200’s progress\, and prospects for LEGEND-1000.\n\nReaching lifetimes beyond 10^{28} years\, however\, will require new techniques and kiloton-scale detectors. NuDot is a proof-of-concept liquid scintillator experiment that will explore new techniques for isotope loading and background rejection in future detectors. I’ll discuss the progress we’ve already made in demonstrating how previously-ignored Cherenkov light signals can help us distinguish signal from background\, and the technologies we’re developing with an eye towards the coming generations of experiments.\n\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance & Labor Economics: PAY TRANSPARENCY AND THE GENDER GAP
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe examine the impact of public sector salary disclosure laws on university faculty salaries in Canada. The laws\, which enable public access to the salaries of individual faculty if they exceed specified thresholds\, were introduced in different provinces at different times. Using detailed administrative data covering the majority of faculty in Canada\, and an event-study research design that exploits within-province variation in exposure to the policy across institutions and academic departments\, we find robust evidence that that the laws reduced the gender pay gap between men and women by approximately 30 percent. There is suggestive evidence that higher female salaries contributed to the narrowing of the gender gap. The reduction in the gender gap is primarily in universities where faculty are unionized.

SUMMARY:Other:RNP Granules in Health and Disease
DESCRIPTION:                                                      Eukaryotic cells contain multiple assemblies of RNA and protein referred to as RNP granules\, or RNP condensates. In the cytosol\, ubiquitous RNP granules include stress granules\, which form when translation initation is limited\, and P-bodies\, which are constitutive RNP granules containing mRNAs and the RNA decay machinery. Both stress granules and P-bodies contain complex proteomes and transcriptomes and their assembly/disassembly are regulated by diverse RNP remodeling complexes.  \n	Focusing on stress granules\, we have provided evidence that stress granule\, and presumably other RNP condensate\, assembly occurs in part through intermolecular RNA-RNA interactions. However\, based on in vitro studies\, we demonstrate that RNA condensation should be expected to be a thermodynamically favored process in cells. This argues cells must contain mechanisms to limit RNA driven condensation. We have demonstrated that abundant RNA helicase reduces RNA recruitment to RNA condensates in vitro and in cells\, as well as limiting stress granule formation. This defines a new function for abundant RNA helicases to limit thermodynamically favored intermolecular RNA-RNA interactions in cells as “RNA decondenases”\, thereby allowing proper RNP function. \n\n                                                                       \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nRoy Parker (HHMI/Univ of Colorado Boulder)

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:BCG Topic Spotlight: Biopharma (PhD\, MD\, JD\, postdoc)
DESCRIPTION:This live\, virtual case presentation is intended for AdvancedDegree Candidates (ADCs) - PhDs\, MDs\, JDs and postdocs.

DO NOT RSVP VIA HANDSHAKE: https://talent.bcg.com/Events?folderId=10033123\n\nMeasuring the value of a precision oncology drug\n\nPharmaceutical companies areincreasingly tying drug prices to value. Traditional frameworks that measure the value of a therapy take a narrow approach of measuring the improvement in duration and quality of life vs the change in cost relative to an existing standard of care. While these approaches adequately capture the value of many drugs\, they have a number of shortcomings. For example\, they often underweight the value of therapies that modestly extend the life of terminal patients\, they don’t consider the context for different stakeholders\, and they ignore additional sources of value such as spillover effects and the societal benefit of treating rare diseases. These factors are especially relevant for precision therapies that treat terminal oncology. Here at BCG\, we have partnered with leading experts to develop a more holistic approach to understanding the overall economic value of a therapy. Colin Shopp\, a Consultant from our Chicago office\, will lead this virtual session and walk through his specific experience on a BCG client case\, where he\, alongside a team of BCG consultants\, developed a tailored approach to measuring the value of a promising new precision oncology drug.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Noah Reid
DESCRIPTION:Toronto born Noah Reid is known mostly for his work on television\, film and stage. It wasn’t until recently that the world got a glimpse of his serious musical talent.\n\nIn 2015\, Reid was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for Best Original Song in the feature film People Hold On. In 2017\, his soulful acoustic cover of Tina Turner’s pop hit The Best on CBC’s Schitt’s Creek cracked #3 on the iTunes Canada Charts. That directed fans all over the world to Reid’s 2016 debut solo album Songs From A Broken Chair.\n\nWith a songwriting style that touches on the singer-songwriters of the seventies and an honest\, contemporary delivery\, Noah Reid is a combination of old and new\, of polished and rusted over. A second studio album produced by Matthew Barber is underway and expected to be released in 2020.
