SUMMARY:Exhibition:In-Between the World and Dreams
DESCRIPTION:In this 3-part installation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nAt the U-M Museum of Art\, massive\, quilt-like panels cover 4\,452 square feet of the exterior of the building\, creating one of the spectacular architectural interventions Mahama is known for. A related installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery can be viewed (and heard) from a sidewalk window. There will also be an installation inside the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nOct. 1-23: Large-Scale Public Art Installation\, U-M Museum of Art\, 525 S.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CSEAS Virtual Viewing. *A Thousand Cuts*
DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing. For instructions\, please email cseas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘A Thousand Cuts’”\n\nAbout the movie:\nOn June 15\, 2020\, journalist Maria Ressa was found guilty of cyber libel\, setting a ticking clock on the limited time she has to get her story out to the world and keep the fight for democracy alive in this all too familiar tale of an autocratic leader drowning out “fake news.” Nowhere is the worldwide erosion of democracy\, fueled by social media disinformation campaigns\, more starkly evident than in the authoritarian regime of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Ressa places the tools of the free press—and her freedom—on the line in defense of truth and democracy. Ramona S. Diaz’s thrilling film follows key players from two sides of an increasingly dangerous war between press and government. As each side digs in\, we become witness to an epic and ongoing fight for the integrity of human life and truth itself—a conflict that extends beyond the Philippines into our own divisive backyard. A Film by Ramona S. Diaz (IMELDA\, MOTHERLAND).\n\nCosponsored by the Michigan Theater.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Laura Kubatko\, Professor\, Departments of Statistics and Evolution\, Ecology\, and Organismal Biology\, The Ohio State University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The advent of rapid and inexpensive DNA sequencing technologies has necessitated the development of computationally efficient methods for analyzing sequence data for many genes simultaneously in an evolutionary framework.  The coalescent process is the most commonly used model for linking the underlying genealogies of individual genes with the global species-level phylogenetic tree\, but inference under the coalescent model is computationally daunting in the typical inference frameworks (e.g.\, the likelihood and Bayesian frameworks) due to the dimensionality of the space of both gene trees and species trees.   By viewing the data arising under the phylogenetic coalescent model as a collection of site patterns\, the algebraic structure associated with the probability distribution on the site patterns can be used to develop computationally efficient methods for inference via phylogenetic invariants.  In this talk\, I will describe how identifiability results for four-taxon species trees based on site pattern probabilities can be used to build a quartet-based inference algorithm for trees of arbitrary size. I will also show how a composite likelihood approach based on quartets can be developed to obtain estimators of the branch lengths within the tree that are consistent and asymptotically normal. I will demonstrate the performance of the methods by applying them to both simulated and empirical data.  Because these methods are derived in a fully model-based framework (i.e.\, the coalescent process is used to model the relationship between gene trees and the species tree\, and standard nucleotide substitution models (GTR+I+G and all submodels) are used for sequence-level evolution)\, they are promising approaches for computationally efficient\, model-based inference for the large-scale sequence data available today.\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/94350208889\nThere will be a virtual reception to follow.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope
DESCRIPTION:The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS\, STARTLING WORKS OF ART\, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER \n \nCollection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. 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 \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more! This is a free event\, and all are welcome.\n\n

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Biophysics Virtual Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:*Please see below for link to join the Zoom event. Passcode: Biophysics*\n\nThe Biophysics Virtual Seminar Series Presents:\n\nNirupama Sumangala - Biophysics Ph.D. Candidate (Ramamoorthy Group)\n\n\"Lipid Membrane Plays an Important Role for Facilitating Electron Transfer in Cytochrome P450\"\n\nAbstract: Cytochrome P450s (CYP450s) are a ubiquitous superfamily of enzymes that play a vital role in the metabolism of many exogenous and endogenous substrates including over 70% of the drugs on the market. For the catalytic reaction\, CYP450 requires two electrons to be subsequently delivered\, with the first one coming from cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) and the second one from either CPR or cytochrome b5 (cytb5). We are interested in understanding the role of membrane in mediating the electron transfer from redox partners to CYP450. Our findings reveal that the lipid membrane is crucial to mediate a productive CYP450-CPR complex for electron transfer. Our data emphasizes the importance of studying the structure\, dynamics and kinetics of CYP450 metabolon in a biologically relevant membrane mimetic system.\n\nKeanu Guardiola Flores - Biophysics Ph.D. Candidate (Wood Group)\n\n\"Drug Effects on *Enterococcus Faecalis* Biofilms: Growth\, Topology\, and Population Dynamics\"\n\nAbstract: The emergence of antibiotic resistance poses a growing threat to public health and increasingly limits our ability to treat and control infections. Recently\, researchers have shifted their focus to length scales where ecological and evolutionary dynamics of bacterial communities highlight new approaches for slowing resistance with currently available drugs. By combining confocal microscopy with simple mathematical models I will show how antibiotics shape the composition of biofilms as well as their spatial architecture at the single-cell level. Our results suggest that in spatially structured populations\, which may more accurately reflect natural bacterial communities\, the selection of resistance is not a simple result of homogenous selections but depends critically on the spatial arrangement of cells.

The user login allows you to log in to the cluster\, create\, compile\, and test applications\, and prepare jobs for submission. The Slurm account allows you to submit those jobs\, executing the applications in parallel on the cluster and charging their resource use to the account. Duo is required to help authenticate you to the cluster.\n\nUSER LOGIN\nIf you already have a Great Lakes user login\, you don’t need to do anything. Otherwise\, go to the application page at http://arc-ts.umich.edu/login-request/ to request a Great Lakes user login.\n\nPlease note that obtaining a user account requires human processing\, so be sure to do this at least two business days before class begins.\n\nSLURM ACCOUNT\nWe create a Slurm account for the workshop so you can run jobs on the cluster during the workshop and for one day after for those who would like additional practice. The workshop job account is quite limited and is intended only to run examples to help you cement the details of job submission and management. If you already have an existing Slurm account\, you can use that\, though if there are any issues with that account\, we will ask you to use the workshop account.\n\nDUO AUTHENTICATION\nDuo two-factor authentication is required to log in to the cluster. When logging in\, you will need to type your UMICH (AKA Level 1) password as well as authenticate through Duo in order to access Great Lakes.\n\nIf you need to enroll in Duo\, follow the instructions at Enroll a Smartphone or Tablet in Duo (https://documentation.its.umich.edu/2fa/enroll-smartphone-or-tablet-duo).\n\nPlease enroll in Duo before you come to class.\n\nLAPTOP PREPARATION\nYou will need VPN software to access the U-M network on which Great Lakes is located.  If you do not have VPN software already installed\, please download and install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN software following these instructions (https://its.umich.edu/enterprise/wifi-networks/vpn/getting-started). Please use the ‘Campus All traffic’ profile in the Cisco client.\n\nYou will need an ssh client to connect to the Great Lakes cluster. Mac OS X and Linux platforms have this built-in. Here are a couple of choices for Windows platforms:\n\nDownload and install U-M PuTTY/WinSCP from the Compute at the U website (https://its.umich.edu/computing/computers-software/compute). This includes both the PuTTY ssh client and terminal emulator and a graphical file transfer tool in one installer. This document describes how to download and use this software\, except please note you will be connecting to greatlakes.arc-ts.umich.edu instead of the cited host (https://documentation.its.umich.edu/node/350). You must have administrative authority over your computer to install this software.\n\nDownload PuTTY directly from the developer (https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html). Download the putty.exe application listed under “Alternative binary files\,” then execute the application. You do not need administrative authority over your computer to use this software.\n\nOur Great Lakes User Guide in Section 1.2 describes in more detail how to use PuTTY to connect to Great Lakes (https://arc-ts.umich.edu/greatlakes/user-guide/).\n\nPlease prepare and test your computer’s ability to make remote connections before class\; we cannot stop to debug connection issues during the class.\n\nA Zoom link will be provided to the participants the day before the class. Registration is required. Please note this session will be recorded. \n\nInstructor will be available at the Zoom link\, to be provided\, from 12-1PM for computer setup assistance.\n\nIf you have questions about this workshop\, please send an email to the instructors at hpc-course@umich.edu.\n\nRegister\nTuesday\, September 29\, 2020\, 12-4pm: https://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/ttc/sessions/introduction-to-research-computing-on-the-great-lakes-cluster-2/register/\n\nFriday\, October 2\, 2020\, 12-4pm: https://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/ttc/sessions/introduction-to-research-computing-on-the-great-lakes-cluster-3/register/\n\nWednesday\, October 7\, 2020\, 12-4pm: https://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/ttc/sessions/introduction-to-research-computing-on-the-great-lakes-cluster-2/register/

DESCRIPTION:The primary events of photosynthesis occur on ultrafast timescales with high quantum efficiency. Elucidating the design principles of photosynthetic systems remains an outstanding challenge that has the potential to impact our design of artificial light-harvesting materials. I will discuss our development of a multispectral multidimensional spectrometer (MMDS) enabling measurements spanning the ultraviolet\, visible and mid-infrared as well as combination spectroscopies\, over timescales of femtoseconds to seconds. I will illustrate some of the capabilities of the MMDS instrument through our efforts to probe the electronic structure and charge separation mechanisms of several light-harvesting systems.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Fall 2020 - AE285 Seminar Series\, Startups and Innovation in the Aerospace Enterprise\, Ben Marchionna\, SkySpecs
DESCRIPTION:Ben Marchionna \nVP of Global Operations \nSkySpecs\n\nSeminar Abstract:\n \nIn today’s world\, tech startups are often held in high esteem as thriving innovation engines\, whereas traditional companies sometimes struggle with getting new\, revolutionary products to market quickly. What makes startups able to do this so efficiently? Do the same rules apply to aerospace startups\, where the tolerance for risk is much lower?\n \nInterestingly\, many common themes can be traced between tech startup operating philosophies and those of the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works\, founded in the 1940s by Clarence L. “Kelly” Johnson\, a U-M Aero alum and one of the most famous aircraft designers in history. The Skunk Works achieved legendary status in the aerospace industry as an innovation factory through a unique set of operating principles\, now known as “Kelly’s 14 Rules.”\n \nThis seminar will focus on the fundamentals of the innovation process\, technology development principles\, and best practices for “crossing the chasm\,” drawing on numerous historical examples and startup stories. Are the “14 Rules” still relevant today? Have tech startups discovered a new secret sauce? How do you foster a culture where team members think vigorously outside the box to invent the impossible?\n \nBio:\n \nBen is currently the Vice President of Global Operations at SkySpecs\, a venture-backed commercial drone startup in Ann Arbor\, MI focused on at-scale autonomous robotics technologies in the wind energy industry. Since launching its autonomous drone inspection product in April 2017\, SkySpecs has safely inspected over 150\,000 wind turbine blades - both onshore and offshore - at more than 1\,500 wind farms on 5 continents.\n \nIn his current role\, Ben leads a team of 150+ pilots\, engineers\, technicians\, analysts\, and operations specialists around the world in the planning\, execution\, and global scaling of SkySpecs programs and products.\n \nPrior to joining SkySpecs\, Ben was a Senior Systems Engineer and graduate of the Engineering Leadership Development Program at the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in Palmdale\, CA. While at the Skunk Works\, Ben worked on a variety of revolutionary autonomous aircraft projects from conceptual design through flight test. He graduated from the University of Michigan in April 2011 with a BSE in Aerospace Engineering and from the University of Southern California in December 2014 with an MS in Product Development Engineering.\n \nOutside of work\, Ben serves on the Industry Advisory Board of the University of Michigan's Department of Aerospace Engineering and as an appointee of Governor Gretchen Whitmer to the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Task Force for the State of Michigan. Ben was elected to the Board of Directors of the American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics (AIAA) in 2015\, making him the youngest Director in AIAA's 85-year history. He has also served as Vice President of the nonprofit Los Angeles County Air Show\, Inc.

SUMMARY:Presentation:CCN Forum: Second Year Developmental Talks
DESCRIPTION:Kristin McGatlin\n\nTitle: The effects of feedback on cognition: Friend or foe? \n\nAbstract: Older adults often face stereotypes\, especially about their memory and other cognitive abilities. They may internalize those negative beliefs (e.g.\, “senior moments”\; “My memory just isn’t what it used to be”)\, ironically making them less likely to perform optimally in challenging situations and thus more vulnerable to failure. On the other hand\, older adults often show resiliency in the form of the “age-related positivity effect” – an increased tendency for older adults to focus on positive\, rather than negative information\, compared to young adults (Carstensen & Mikels\, 2005). The current research project will examine how different feedback conditions (neutral (no feedback)\, positive feedback to correct answers\, negative feedback to errors) affects cognitive performance as well as subjective measures of motivation and related constructs in younger and older adults. \n\nEric Martell\n\nTitle: The Role of Social Factors on Syntactic Alignment\n\nAbstract: Priming is the tendency to unconsciously repeat words\, sentences\, sounds\, and concepts that we have encountered before (Dell\, Burger\, & Svec\, 1997\; Kubovy\, 1977\; Bock\, 1986\; Pickering & Garrod\, 2004). Alignment is driven by priming and occurs during successful dialogue\, that is when two parties have unconsciously constructed shared concepts at different linguistic levels\, e.g. lexical or syntactical (Pickering & Garrod\, 2004). A picture description task will help us understand if alignment\, at the syntactic level\, is malleable by social factors and will bring us closer to answering if alignment is a fully automatic process. \n\nMadelyn Quirk\n\nTitle: Predicting the Pandemic: Everyone did it and no one was right: A Bayesian latent variable approach to misestimation and Covid-19\n\nAbstract: Six months ago\, Covid-19 reared its ugly head and seemed to stump science as we know it. Almost immediately\, it felt like nobody knew anything but everybody had an opinion\, a dangerous juxtaposition in the face of a public-health crisis. Why did some seem to believe that the virus would be gone in a week’s time\, while others erred towards the opposite extreme? We had previously assessed individuals’ ability to predict the anticipated number of cumulative Covid-19 cases 3\, 6\, and 9 days out after being presented the cumulative number of confirmed cases at five previous dates in various presentation formats. People were very poor at this forecasting overall\, but there was also a stark separation between those who overestimated and those who underestimated. So\, we revisit the question of interest: What could possibly be driving this separation between the directions of misestimation? To then expand further\, do the societal consequences of the two differ? My current model and the basis for this talk will explore the relationship among three latent variables of political conservatism\, Covid-related social behavior\, and misestimation in an effort to answer these critical questions in such unprecedented times.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women's Vote
DESCRIPTION:Organized by AIGA in partnership with League of Women Voters\n\n2020 marks the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment\, granting women the right to vote in 1920. It was the first legislation for women’s voting rights. Not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 were voting rights of ALL women protected and enforced\, and intimidation tactics progressively eliminated.  The Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote poster campaign\, organized by AIGA in partnership with the League of Women Voters\, commemorates this milestone. A core group of invited women of design submitted the first 65 non-partisan posters\, to launch the initiative with their vision and voices. Through the posters\, these women joined forces to collectively contribute to dialogue in design and society. This moment in history is an incredible opportunity to catalyze women in design\, voting rights\, citizenship\, community\, and diversity. The collection aspires to not only support present day voter participation\, but to also serve as a backdrop for discourse and examination of the history of voting rights and women’s fight for equality.  The poster initiative continues at aiga.org/vote\, where AIGA members can contribute posters to motivate the American public to register and turn out to vote in the 2020 general election\, as well as local elections to come. Posters are available for free download online.\n\nThe Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote exhibition at Stamps Gallery includes a selection of the 65 posters chosen by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V. Johnson\, Francis Nunoo-Quarcoo\, Endi Poskovic\, Destini Riley\, and Stamps Gallery. The exhibition includes posters by Audrey Bennett\, Johanna Björk\, Karen Cheng\, Emily Comfort\, Jenny El-Shamy\, Dinah Fried\, Karin Fong\, Anne M. Giangiulio\, Annabelle Gould\, Brockett Horne\, Meena Khalili\, nicole killian + shawné michaelain holloway\, Karen Kurycki\, Marty Maxwell Lane\, Zuzana Licko\, Ana Llorente\, Beatriz Lozano\, Kelly Salchow MacArthur\, Rebeca Mendez\, Lana Rigsby\, Kaleena Sales\, Renee Seward\, Laurel Shoemaker\, Nancy Sklolos\,  Hannah Smotrich\, Shanti Sparrow\, Jennifer Sterling\, Fearn de Vicq\, Cymone Wilder\, and Lynne Yun.\n\nFall 2020 Hours and Policies\nBeginning September 15\, 2020\, Stamps Gallery will be open to University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 pm.\nAll visitors must have a valid M-Card to enter Stamps Gallery. We are unable to welcome the general public to this space at this time.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations by Heidi Kumao
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery is pleased to present Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations\, a solo exhibition of narrative fabric works and experimental animations by Stamps Professor Heidi Kumao.\n\nUsing fabric cutouts and machine and hand stitching on industrial felt\, Kumao gives physical form to the intangible dynamics underlying ordinary conversations and relationships from a feminist perspective. Intentionally minimal\, each image distills an interaction\, traumatic incident\, or power imbalance into an accessible visual narrative. Recognizable objects such as chairs\, roots\, ladders\, or spotlights set the stage for the story to unfold. Events are captured midstream\, suspended in time like a felt film still.\n\nThe exhibition is inspired\, in part\, by the courage\, testimony\, and experiences of women (like Christine Blasey Ford) who publicly report assault\, harassment\, or misconduct. The #MeToo movement gave voice to thousands of women to tell their personal stories\, but also exposed a hostile backlash meant to silence them. The title\, “Real and Imagined\,” is a deliberate contradiction\; if one is true\, the other must not be. In practice\, however\, both terms are used to reference a woman’s testimony and determine how it is publicly interpreted. Her account is accepted as truthful by many and simultaneously dismissed as imaginary by the court of public opinion: “her memory is wrong\,” “she imagined it.”\n\nThe works in “Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations” make difficult conversations and relationships tangible by stripping them down to their essentials.\n\nWordless physical gestures highlight the psychological and emotional forces at play behind even the smallest of interactions.\n\nBiography\nHeidi Kumao has created award-winning experimental films\, video installations\, cinema machines\, electronic clothing\, and kinetic sculptures. She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including shows at Art Science Museum Singapore\, Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona\, Fundació Joan Miró (Barcelona)\, and Museu da Imagem e do Som (São Paulo). She has received fellowships from the Creative Capital Foundation\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She is a professor at the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nFall 2020 Hours and Policies\nBeginning September 15\, 2020\, Stamps Gallery will be open to University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 pm.\nAll visitors must have a valid M-Card to enter Stamps Gallery.

SUMMARY:Auditions:Respond / Resist / Rethink: A Stamps Poster & Video Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Respond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition\n\nStamps Gallery is proud to kick-off the fall semester with Respond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Student Poster & Video Exhibition\, which brings together powerful posters and playful videos made by the students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races\, genders\, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality\, structural racism\, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the stakeholders in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality\, belonging\, respect? We found inspiration in the thoughtful words of renowned civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis (1940-2020) who wrote\, “My fellow Americans\, this is a special moment in our history. Just as people of all faiths and no faiths\, and all backgrounds\, creeds\, and colors banded together decades ago to fight for equality and justice in a peaceful\, orderly\, non-violent fashion\, we must do so again.” His powerful words are a reminder for all of us - present and future generations to stay hopeful\, proactive\, and resilient in our collective efforts to end racial discrimination and foster a true democracy. \n\nIn this spirit\, Stamps Gallery invited the undergraduate and graduate students at Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, to design posters and make videos to respond and contemplate what each of us can do to build a stronger community\, one that is based on the values of racial equality\, justice and belonging. How can we acknowledge our own biases\, learn from each other\, and listen to the voices of those that have been silenced? We are at a pivotal moment in our history as the pandemic radically transforms everyday life. Through this exhibition Stamps Gallery asks the UM community to come together as artists and audiences and envision models for inclusion that are grounded in equality\, belonging and empathy.\n\nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition includes work by Emily Albright\, Adriana Alcala\, Nathan Byrne\, David Forsee\, Eloise Jansenn\, Rey Jeong\, Sohyun Lim\, Anika Love\, Maggie McConnell\, Willian Minzer\, Judah Premble\, Casey Rheault\, Natalia Rocafuerte\, Jenna Scheen\, Ellie Schmidt\, Abigail Seguin\, LaKyla Thomas\, Elijah Thompson\, Benjamin Winans\, and Molly Wu.\n\nArtwork was selected through an open call by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory: Robust Monopoly Regulation (Joint work with Eran Shmaya)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWe study the regulation of a monopolistic firm using a non-Bayesian approach. We derive the policy that minimizes the regulator’s worst-case regret\, where regret is the difference between the regulator’s complete-information payoff and his realized payoff. When the regulator’s payoff is consumers’ surplus\, he imposes a price cap. When his payoff is the total surplus of both consumers and the firm\, he offers a capped piece-rate subsidy. For intermediate cases\, the regulator uses both a price cap and a capped piece-rate subsidy. The optimal policy balances three goals: giving more surplus to consumers\, mitigating underproduction\, and mitigating overproduction.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Diversifying oceanography:  The Coastal Ocean Environment Summer School in Ghana
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting ID: 91739279815\nModeling and observing the global ocean environment requires a coordinated global effort.  Yet\, as in most STEM disciplines\, Africans are under-represented in the global oceanography enterprise.  The need\, and the potential\, for changing this is clear.  The coastal resources of Africa\, the world's second-largest continent\, face many pressures including erosion due to sea-level rise\, offshore oil drilling\, increased shipping\, overfishing\, piracy\, and others.  At the same time\, Africa has a young\, rapidly growing population\, and has several of the world's fastest-growing economies.  The time is ripe for developing STEM partnerships between Africa and the rest of the world\, and a more diverse global scientific community will benefit everyone.\n\nWith the above motivations in mind\, we developed the Coastal Ocean Environment Summer School in Ghana.  Following an exploratory trip in 2014\, during which we met potential partnering institutions\, we have been running the school for one week every August since 2015.  The hosting Ghana institution alternates between Regional Maritime University (RMU)\, which trains West Africans for careers in shipping\, port management\, and other marine sector careers\, and the University of Ghana (UG)\, which has a marine and fisheries sciences department. Over time the school curriculum has grown to include hands-on labs\, a boat trip\, instrument deployments\, field trips to beaches and ports\, and short research projects\, in addition to lectures.  From 2016-2019\, about 100 West Africans participated per year.  The school has a regional impact\; an increasing number of participants come from Nigeria and other countries outside of Ghana.  Instruction is done by resource persons from Ghana\, the US\, and Europe.  Global north participants have included undergraduates\, graduate students\, postdocs\, and professors/research scientists.  \n\nWe will briefly discuss school success stories\, our experience running the school virtually in 2020 (for about 60-70 participants)\, funding challenges\, and our vision for the future of the school.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Friday Night AI
DESCRIPTION:Invited speakers: \nProfs. Ceren Budak (School of Information) and Rada Mihalcea (Michigan AI)\nOrganizer: Michigan AI Lab in collaboration with the Ann Arbor District Library\nModerator: Prof. Benjamin Kuipers\, Michigan AI\n\nPre-registration required by Oct. 1. \n\nThe proliferation of misleading information in everyday access media outlets such as social media feeds\, news blogs\, and online newspapers has made it challenging to identify trustworthy news sources. Over the past few months\, the amount of misinformation shared online has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic (which has sometime been also referred to as an infodemic) as well as by the ongoing political debates and the upcoming federal elections. Artificial Intelligence provides ways to identify misinformative content online\, and to potentially curb its spread. Join us for a conversation with Michigan experts Prof. Ceren Budak and Prof. Rada Mihalcea\, who will discuss how Artificial Intelligence can be used to address fake news and misinformation.\n\nWhat are the ways that AI may be used to identify misinformation and fake news?\nWhat are the challenges encountered when developing such AI systems?\nWhat are the benefits and risks of using automated ways to fight misinformation?\n\nAbout the panelists:\nCeren Budak is an Assistant Professor of Information\, School of Information and Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, College of Engineering at the University of Michigan. Her research interests lie in the area of computational social science. She is particularly interested in the use of large scale data sets and computational techniques to study problems with policy\, social and political implications.\nRada Mihalcea is a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan and the Director of the Michigan Artificial Intelligence Lab. Her research interests are in computational linguistics\, with a focus on lexical semantics\, multilingual natural language processing\, and computational social sciences. Together with her research lab and collaborators\, she has worked on the problem of automatic deception detection for more than ten years\, addressing among others the detection of deception in language and multimodal streams\, the identification of fake news\, and identity deception. She is the recipient of a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers awarded by President Obama (2009) and a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (2019).

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Ken Burns & Isabel Wilkerson: In Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Our lens on history powerfully influences how we envision and shape the future. Join two of our country’s most accomplished storytellers\, Ken Burns and Isabel Wilkerson\, as they discuss the complexities of the American narrative and how grappling with the past might lead us forward. \n\nJournalist Isabel Wilkerson was awarded the National Humanities Medal by President Barack Obama in 2016 “for championing the stories of an unsung history.” The first African-American woman to win a Pulitzer Prize in journalism\, her book The Warmth of Other Suns\, a sweeping and intimate examination of the Great Migration\, won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction. Her new book\, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents\, examines the entrenched hierarchies that shape American life. Told through intimate personal narratives and deeply researched history\, Wilkerson examines the ties between the American caste system and those in India and Nazi Germany\, and points to ways America can move beyond our artificial and destructive human divisions\, toward hope in our common humanity.\n\nKen Burns has been making documentary films for over forty years. Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981\, he has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made\, including The Civil War\; Baseball\; Jazz\; The War\; The National Parks: America’s Best Idea\; The Roosevelts: An Intimate History\; Jackie Robinson\; Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson\; The Vietnam War\; The Central Park Five\; and Country Music. His films have been honored with dozens of major awards\, including sixteen Emmy Awards\, two Grammy Awards\, two Oscar nominations\; and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. His new website UNUM rearranges clips from his past films into playlists to add historical context to the present.\n\nThis conversation will be moderated by Lynette Clemetson\, Director of Wallace House\, Knight-Wallace Fellowships and the Livingston Awards at the University of Michigan. A longtime journalist\, she was a correspondent for Newsweek magazine in the U.S. and Asia\, a national correspondent for The New York Times\, and senior director of strategy and new initiatives at NPR. Wallace House works to sustain and elevate the careers of journalists\, foster civic engagement\, and uphold the role of a free press in democratic society. \n\nThis event is part of the Democracy & Debate theme semester with support from Wallace House and the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).\n\nHow to Watch\n\nAll speaker series events will be webcast on Fridays at 8 pm EST at http://pennystampsevents.org and at https://www.dptv.org/programs/arts-culture/penny-stamps-series/ starting Friday\, September 18. You can also watch the talks and join the conversation on the Penny Stamps Series Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PennyStampsSeries/.\n\nNotice of uncensored content\n\nIn accordance with the University of Michigan’s Standard Practice Guidelines on “Freedom of Speech and Artistic Expression\,” the Penny Stamps Speaker Series does not censor our speakers or their content.
