Immersing us in its characters’ customs and beliefs\, Ixcanul chronicles with unblinking realism\, a disappearing tradition and a disappearing people.Maria\, a 17-year-old Mayan girl\, lives and works with her parents on a coffee plantation in the foothills of an active volcano in Guatemala.An arranged marriage awaits her: her parents have promised her to Ignacio\, the plantation overseer. But Maria doesn’t sit back and accept her destiny.Pepe\, a young coffee cutter who plans to migrate to the USA becomes her possible way out. Maria seduces Pepe in order to run away with him\, but after promises and clandestine meetings\, Pepe takes off\, leaving her pregnant\, alone and in disgrace. There’s no time to lose for Maria’s mother\, who thinks abortion is the only solution. Yet despite her mother’s ancestral knowledge\, the baby remains\, “destined to live.”But destiny has more in store for Maria: a snakebite forces them to leave immediately in search of a hospital.

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.

Plans to postpone are TBD.\n\n\nCLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme\, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration\,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe\, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization\, visibility\, and media surrounding the movement of bodies\, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms\, through its various manifestations in the arts\, critical theory\, and new media. \n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay\, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator\, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture\, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence\, imperialism and body politics. Her films\, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\, civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film \"Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder\" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer\, Great Lakes South. \n\nAs part of the conference\, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday\, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

Yet\, these conflated boundaries have received little attention from those developing genetic-based species delimitation methods\, potentially leading to mass over-splitting as genomic data become more widely employed. These challenges have profound implications for not only understanding the generation and dynamics of biodiversity\, but also for conserving this diversity.\n\nIn this workshop\, we will cover the foundations upon which genetic-based inference of species boundaries are built. In particular\, we will review the history that lead to a reliance on the multispecies coalescent (MSC) as the primary model for species delimitation. Despite the appeal of genome-based species discovery\, we will explain how misidentification of population structure as putative species is an emerging key issue for applications of the MSC for species delimitation\, as well as the implications of divergence of gene flow for identifying species boundaries.\n\nRead more at the website linked on this page UID:73661-18278620@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73661 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Workshop LOCATION:East Hall - 1324 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200311T171804 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cancelled: Fastest Path to Zero Carbon Emissions: Building an Exemplar for Deploying Clean Energy DESCRIPTION:Deploying clean energy is a complex multi-disciplinary task and\, to be most successful\, requires approaches that combine the best technology\, acceptable costs\, public policy approaches\, and social decisions. \n\nThe teach-in will:\n-Describe the current state of community acceptance of the deployment of renewable energy in Michigan\n-Describe the national state of the deployment of a new generation of advanced nuclear energy\n-Engage in facilitated conversations about the use of technology for the public good UID:73187-18155747@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73187 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Climate,Earth Day At 50,Energy,Engineering,Environment,Nuclear,Nuclear Engineering And Radiological Sciences,Sustainability LOCATION:Cooley Building - White Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200316T181530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T095100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T095100 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Canceled - 2020 MFA Thesis Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Following guidance from University administrators and public health officials in response to COVID-19\, Stamps Gallery is closed until further notice\, and all scheduled in-person events and exhibitions have been canceled.\n__________\n\nsometimes something\, the 2020 MFA Thesis Exhibition\, will bring together culminating projects by second-year graduate students\, Sally Clegg\, Kim Karlsrud\, Erin McKenna\, and Abhishek Narula.

This includes the provision of therapeutic support in (near) real time\, as well as the provision of prompts that support the engagement of users in the mobile health application. A micro-randomized trial (MRT) is a new trial design that is useful for addressing scientific questions concerning the construction of mobile health applications of this type.  This talk describes the design and analysis of a micro-randomized trial conducted in collaboration with a local digital behavioral health company based in Ann Arbor. The purpose of the MRT was to (i) test the effectiveness of using a “push” prompt to engage users with a smartphone-based mobile health application\, and (ii) to estimate whether the effectiveness of the prompt depends on the time at which the prompt is sent\, as well as a prespecified set of user characteristics and other contextual factors. The trial’s primary outcome was binary\, namely\, whether or not the user engaged with the smartphone app over the next 24 hours. To analyze the data arising from this MRT\, we developed a new approach to estimating the proximal causal effects that could accommodate a binary outcome. We describe the design of the MRT\, the new data analysis method\, and the results.\nAn explicit goal of this talk is to provide a friendly introduction to some of the ideas underlying the design and analysis of MRTs\, as opposed to focusing on technical details of the method.\n\nThis is joint work with Susan A. Murphy\, Inbal Nahum-Shani and Niranjan Bidargarddi.

Seating is limited. Visit our project in action. \n \nDesigned as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. Public programs\, classes\, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society\, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.\n \nIn her investigation of America’s courts\, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law\, drama\, and anthropology\, among others. \n \nDue to the nature of the project\, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207410@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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.

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J.

CSEAS Lecture Series. Regime Change and Continuity in Malaysia DESCRIPTION:Lily Rahim\, Malaysia Chair of Islam in Southeast Asia and Associate Teaching Professor\, Georgetown University\n\nSince its historic May 2018 breakthrough election\, Malaysia's Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition government has experienced some erosion of public support. The presentation will analyse PH's weakening popularity within the context of its 'catch-22' policy and political conundrum. Simply put\, the promised implementation of substantive policy reform\, with respect to 'Malay rights'\, threaten to weaken PH's tenuous relations with the predominantly conservative majority Malay community - susceptible to the fear and racial displacement rhetoric of opposition politicians. At the same time\, PH's reluctance to implement substantive institutional and policy reforms have generated disillusionment within its urban\, cosmopolitan and middle-class electoral base - key to its electoral breakthrough in 2018 but increasingly wary of the governing coalition's leadership tensions.\n \n Lily Zubaidah Rahim is Associate Teaching Professor and Malaysia Chair of Islam in Southeast Asia at the Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University. She was previously a professor of government and international relations at the University of Sydney\, specializing in authoritarian governance\, democratization\, Southeast Asian Politics\, political Islam\, and ethic politics. Her books include The Singapore Dilemma: The Political and Educational Marginality of the Malay Community (Oxford University Press 1998/2001\; translated to Malay by the Malaysian National Institute for Translation)\, Singapore in the Malay World: Building and Breaching Regional Bridges (Routledge\, 2009)\, Muslim Secular Democracy (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2013)\, The Politics of Islamism: Diverging Visions and Trajectories (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2018) and The Limits of Authoritarian Governance in Singapore’s Developmental State (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2019). Her current comparative politics book project focuses on regime change and policy reform in Malaysia\, Indonesia and Tunisia.\n \n Lily has published in international journals such as Democratization\, Contemporary Politics\, Journal of Contemporary Asia\, Journal of Comparative and Comparative Politics\, Critical Asian Studies and the Australian Journal of International Affairs. Her sole-authored journal article ‘Governing Muslims in Singapore’s Secular Authoritarian State’ was short-listed for the Boyer Prize by the Australian Journal of International Affairs (AJIA). Lily is Vice-President of the Australian Association for Islamic and Muslim Studies (AAIMS) and Co-Convener of the Social Inclusion Network (SIN) at the University of Sydney. She was Convener of the multi-disciplinary ‘Religion\, State and Society’ (RSS) Network and President of the Malaysia and Singapore Society of Australia (MASSA).\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.

It quickly became the centerpiece of an enthusiastic community-led restoration and educational project in the neighboring city of Hamtramck before it met an untimely and sudden demolition at the hands of the City of Detroit in February of 2019. This presentation recounts the archaeological investigations of the late 19th-century log cabin in the context of the city's blight removal efforts. It also uses the controversy surrounding the cabin's demolition to discuss how federal policies towards blight removal are adversely affecting the identification and preservation of poor\, working-class historic resources in post-industrial cities.

CSR and effective Tax Rates DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The social responsibilities of for-profit corporations have gained importance recently\, and CSR has become both a goal and a set of guidelines for various corporate activities. CSR encompasses a number of dimension\, typically including environmental impacts\, treatment of employees\, and relations to local communities. Here we consider the relationship between CSR and corporate taxes: do firms that are “good citizens” also pay higher taxes? Is it the social responsibility of firms to help pay for public services? Focusing on the percentile rank of effective tax rates\, and using random effects panel regression of a data set of publicly-traded U.S. firms that includes measures of CSR and many financial variables\, we find that the relationship between CSR and taxation is a complicated one that warrants further investigation. However\, strong corporate governance\, a typical component of CSR\, is associated with lower tax rates\, suggesting that responsibility to shareholders conflicts with broader social responsibilities.

Yet\, these conflated boundaries have received little attention from those developing genetic-based species delimitation methods\, potentially leading to mass over-splitting as genomic data become more widely employed. These challenges have profound implications for not only understanding the generation and dynamics of biodiversity\, but also for conserving this diversity.\n\nIn this workshop\, we will cover the foundations upon which genetic-based inference of species boundaries are built. In particular\, we will review the history that lead to a reliance on the multispecies coalescent (MSC) as the primary model for species delimitation. Despite the appeal of genome-based species discovery\, we will explain how misidentification of population structure as putative species is an emerging key issue for applications of the MSC for species delimitation\, as well as the implications of divergence of gene flow for identifying species boundaries.\n\nRead more at the website linked on this page UID:73661-18278622@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73661 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Workshop LOCATION:Undergraduate Science Building - 1230 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200312T175248 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:*CANCELLED* ConEco Seminar: Applications of the Landscape Approach for Conserving Stream Fishes from Current and Future Threats DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled.

Reception and book signing to follow. \n\nThis event will be livestreamed. Check event website right before the event for viewing details.\n\nJoin us for an armchair conversation with Robin DiAngelo\, author and Affiliate Associate Professor at the University of Washington\, and Elizabeth Moje\, Dean of the University of Michigan School of Education. Dr. DiAngelo and Dean Moje will discuss themes and ideas stemming from Dr. DiAngelo's best-selling book\, \"White Fragility.\"\n\nWhite people in the U.S. live in a social environment that protects and insulates them from race-based stress. This insulated environment of racial protection builds white expectations for racial comfort while at the same time lowering the ability to tolerate racial stress. DiAngelo calls this lack of racial stamina \"white fragility.\" White fragility is a state in which even a minimal challenge to the white position becomes intolerable\, triggering a range of defensive responses. These responses function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and maintain white control. DiAngelo will provide an overview of the socialization that inculcates white fragility and provide the perspectives and skills needed to build racial stamina and develop more equitable racial practices. \n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\n\nDr. Robin DiAngelo is Affiliate Associate Professor of Education at the University of Washington. In addition\, she holds two Honorary Doctorates. She is a two-time winner of the Student’s Choice Award for Educator of the Year at the University of Washington’s School of Social Work. She has numerous publications and books. In 2011 she coined the term White Fragility in an academic article which has influenced the international dialogue on race. Her book\, White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism was released in June of 2018 and debuted on the New York Times Bestseller List. In addition to her academic work\, Dr. DiAngelo has been a consultant and trainer for over 20 years on issues of racial and social justice. \n\nFrom the moderator's bio: \n\nElizabeth Birr Moje is dean\, George Herbert Mead Collegiate Professor of Education\, and an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Literacy\, Language\, and Culture in the School of Education. Moje teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in secondary and adolescent literacy\, cultural theory\, and research methods and was awarded the Provost’s Teaching Innovation Prize with colleague\, Bob Bain\, in 2010. A former high school history and biology teacher\, Moje’s research examines young people’s navigations of culture\, identity\, and literacy learning in and out of school in Detroit\, Michigan. \n\nMoje has published 5 books and numerous articles in journals such as Science\, Harvard Educational Review\, Teachers College Record\, Reading Research Quarterly\, Journal of Literacy Research\, Review of Education Research\, Journal of Research in Science Teaching\, Science Education\, International Journal of Science Education\, Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy\, and the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education.

Until recently\,\nmost advances in materials design for nuclear energy have been incremental – slight changes of composition here or tweaks in microstructure there. This talk will focus on research directions established at the University of Michigan to enable breakthroughs in the development of advanced nuclear materials by applying innovations in other research fields such as use of machine learning techniques. Recent results\, including automated defect detection and analysis in electron micrographs\, will be presented. The presentation will conclude with how these emerging techniques can be applied to Prof. Field’s other research directions including advanced alloy development and radiation effects to establish a new nuclear materials development workflow that expediates the development\, testing\, and deployment of novel materials for nuclear energy. \n\nBiography: Dr. Kevin Field is an Associate Professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan where his research specializes in alloy development and radiation effects in ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. His active research interests include advanced electron microscopy and scattering-based characterization techniques\, additive/advanced manufacturing for nuclear materials\, and the application of machine/deep learning techniques for advanced innovation in characterization and development of materials systems. Prof. Field moved to University of Michigan in the Fall of 2019 after nearly seven years at Oak Ridge National Laboratory where he first started as an Alvin M.

However\, a unified model of intonation across SALs\, balancing typological similarities and differences\, has yet to be proposed. This talk explores the most current findings and models of a range of SALs\, from both my own work and that of several others in the field\, in order to identify the common ground underlying a sample of languages of the region. The shared properties at the base of this unified model of intonation proposed for this selection of SALs include: (i) a preference for non-contrastive word-initial stress marked by low tone\, (ii) a sequence of repeating rising contours each spanning a roughly word-sized unit\, and (iii) greater flexibility within the higher-level boundary tones than within the pitch accent inventory. I argue that this bundle of features characterizes SAL intonation\, setting it apart from the intonation of other well-documented language groups due to the general lack of contrastive tone and stress in the region.\n\nIn proposing this model\, tentatively named Intonational Transcription of South Asian Languages (InTraSAL)\, I take note of important areas of crosslinguistic variation\, including (i) the complex and variable role of syllable weight and (ii) the effects of voicing on pitch accent\, as well as (iii) the phonetic alignment of what can be argued to be the same basic phonological pattern. I take these findings as an initial exploration into producing a “prosodic map” of South Asia\, much like what has been done for Romance languages and varieties of Japanese. I also consider the applicability of the same model not only across languages\, but also across speaking styles\, and propose directions for further research to expand and test the model with more data.

Plans to postpone are TBD.\n\n\nCLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme\, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration\,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe\, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization\, visibility\, and media surrounding the movement of bodies\, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms\, through its various manifestations in the arts\, critical theory\, and new media. \n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay\, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator\, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture\, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence\, imperialism and body politics. Her films\, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\, civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film \"Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder\" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer\, Great Lakes South. \n\nAs part of the conference\, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday\, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

Cole\, D’Angelo\, and Beyoncé infuse empowering messages into their music\, which serve as the musical backdrop to this century’s Black Lives Matter movement. Every decade\, Black artists have served up insistent messages of empowerment confronting the oppressive effects of white supremacy. These anthems have often come from hip hop\, soul\, and R&B. Rarely has it come from jazz\, a musical genre that has arguably had a closer and more complicated relationship with white audiences and spaces. However\, in 1960\, jazz drummer Max Roach and vocalist Abby Lincoln collaborated on an album We Insist: Max Roach’s Freedom Suite Now that literally and symbolically confronted historical and global racism in an unprecedented way that adopted a Pan-African approach\, spanning slavery and civil rights in the U.S. to anti-apartheid movements in South Africa. This paper will argue that We Insist is a potent focal point of black musical activism by examining the making of the album\, its reception by critics and audiences\, and the significance of the fact that Roach and Lincoln were themselves embarking on a journey of love for their people and for each other. Ultimately this paper offers an analysis that places We Insist as a comprehensive musical precursor and a prophetic call to the twenty-first century that Black Lives must matter.

FSB agents tortured the arrestees into signing confessions. This became the \"Network Case.\" On the basis of these \"confessions\,\" the Russian courts drew up convictions of years--or decades--in prison. But they were not expecting widespread public outcry in Russia or unceasing international attention. By applying pressure from abroad\, online\, and in letters to prisoners\, we can do our part to keep these political prisoners in the spotlight\, and out of the shadows!\n\nThere will be a short informational slide-show. Come hear the compelling stories of the activists caught in these cases\; the cruel\, absurd\, and\, sometimes\, comical nature of the charges\; and the creative resistance and solidarity strategies that activists developed in an increasingly repressive climate. Talk led by Ania Aizman (U-M Slavic).\n\nThere will be materials for making art and writing short letters of support of the political prisoners\, as well as information about direct donations to the Russian prisoners' advocacy group.
