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. State St.\, Ann Arbor\nOct. 1-23: Sidewalk Gallery\, Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, 202 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:Presentation:Developmental Brown Bag:  The effect of Foreigner Talk on Children's Evaluations of Addressees and Speakers
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nA growing literature suggests accent serves as an important social category for infants and young children. Children show early social preferences for native over non-native speakers\, and this tendency may lay the foundation for future accent prejudice observed in adulthood. However\, children do not hear non-native accents in a vacuum\; instead\, their experiences with accent are informed by a number of factors within a broader communicative context. One factor that may be of particular importance is the speech register typically associated with native speakers talking to non-native speakers-- a register known as Foreigner Talk. This talk reports on three studies that examine whether Foreigner Talk affects children's (ages 5-10\, N = 308) and adults' (N = 216) evaluations of those speaking and receiving Foreigner Talk. The findings provide insight into how conversational choices may impact children's developing conceptions of non-native speakers specifically\, and outgroup members more broadly.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Honors Seminar Series: Sara Fitzgerald
DESCRIPTION:In 1970\, as Michigan prepared to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the admission of women\, women faculty at U.S. colleges were exempted from the protections of the major civil rights laws and the U-M admissions office was enforcing a 55:45 quota on male-female admissions to ensure that there would not be an “overbalance” of women in the freshman class. But a small group of Ann Arbor women developed a strategy to unleash the power of the federal government to demand change at U-M by threatening to withhold millions of dollars in federal contracts. The settlement provided the model for resolving similar complaints at dozens of other universities in the years immediately before the passage of Title IX. Sara Fitzgerald\, then an Honors history major\, covered the controversy for The Michigan Daily\, and a half-century later\, reflects on how that time on campus shaped her own career aspirations and writing interests. \n\nAuthor of \"Conquering Heroines\"\, and Honors alumna\, Sara Fitzgerald is a former editor and new-media developer for the Washington Post and was the first woman to serve as editor-in-chief of the Michigan Daily. She is the author of Elly Peterson: “Mother” of the Moderates (University of Michigan Press\, 2012) and The Poet’s Girl (Thought Catalog Books\, 2020).\n\nPlease register for this event here: https://myumi.ch/0W1Op

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Cognitive Science Seminar Series: \"Which linguistic theory for CogSci?\"
DESCRIPTION:Linguistics professor Jeffrey Health will give a talk titled \"Which linguistic theory for CogSci?\" \n\nPlease visit the seminar website for Zoom link and details.\n\nABSTRACT\nThe linguistic theory most familiar to cognitive scientists\, the syntax-centric generativist model\, has deep-seated problems for which no patches are available. Syntax-centrism alienates the model from processing and especially from speaking\, and therefore from any natural cognitive processes. Its emphasis on economy now seems quaint in the context of the brain’s massive storage and computational power. The evo-devo theory that is joined to the theory’s hip makes no sense biologically. Under the microscope\, current minimalism consists largely of ad hoc devices to account for language-specific linear ordering: functional projections some of which are meaningless\, unnecessary specifier positions for these projections\, phonological deletion due to unmotivated “computational efficiency\,” and ad hoc processes like “remnant movement” when all else fails. Even with this proliferation of makeshift entities and processes\, the model cannot account for basic morphosyntactic phenomena in many nonwestern languages. In this talk I discuss how a directional\, speaker-centric model that stands up to crosslinguistic findings might be cobbled together from “cognitive linguistics” on the semantic end and morphophonological (including prosodic) theories on the output end. I describe some linguistic issues that are\, and some that are not\, amenable to experimental study and to computational modeling.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Building DESI - The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
DESCRIPTION:Please contact Beth Demkowski\, demkowsk@umich.edu for Zoom link.\n\nThe Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) is a multi-object fiber spectrograph on the Mayall 4-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. DESI consists of a new wide-field optical corrector and a 3-degree focal plane with 5000 robotic fiber positioners feeding into ten broadband spectrographs. The large number of spectra obtained in a single exposure will enable a five-year spectroscopic survey of over a third of the sky. DESI will obtain redshifts for more than 35 million objects including luminous red galaxies\, emission line galaxies and quasar Ly-a forest spectra\, creating the most detailed 3-dimensional map of the universe to date. \n\nThe DESI focal plane is composed of ten identical wedge-shaped petals which were integrated and tested at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and installed at Kitt Peak during the Summer of 2019. DESI completed commissioning in March 2020 just days before mountain operations had to be put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During Commissioning\, 12 million on-sky spectra were taken and two dark time mini surveys were completed. Following a brief overview of DESI I will highlight some of the milestones during construction and installation of the DESI instrument. I will close by touching on some of the results from the commissioning phase.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker. Timescapes of Behavior: Resilience and Long-Term Ecological Research
DESCRIPTION:The Science\, Technology\, Medicine and Society (STeMS) Speaker Series features scholars doing research across the range of STS subject matter. This term:\n\nAre we humans cooperative or warlike\, rational or delusional\, fixed or flexible? These questions have philosophical bite and political stakes. Indeed\, they always have. But recent work in a range of disciplines asks us to go deeper. What if “we humans” are more fiction than fact? If we can’t assume the stability of the human across time and place\, what happens to debates about human nature? Humanistic approaches\, including actor-network theory\, posthuman criticism\, and multispecies ethnographies\, challenge the idea of an autonomous human nature\, while scientific studies of organ development\, neuroendocrinology\, and the microbiome are revealing how much nature there is inside of us. We explore these questions through a braided history of the human and environmental sciences.

SUMMARY:Presentation:The Evolution of Basketball with Data Science
DESCRIPTION:For the last couple of decades\, most industries have grown to take advantage of the information gained from data collection. As that happened\, professional sports teams started to catch on. Baseball took the lead thanks to the amount of data collected over the years\, which dates to the 1800s\, but a lot of other professional sports followed and put more attention to their data collection. With technological advancements\, particularly high-speed cameras\, storage capacities and image recognition\, more dynamic sports started to collect richer and richer data. The insights derived from this data started shifting the way the game is played and the way players are evaluated. This talk will take you through the evolution of data science in basketball and give examples of how data is shifting the way teams make decisions on and off the court.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:How Lean Culture is Fighting Against the Coronavirus
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in different ways. For me\, one of the ways was receiving a call to “deploy” to our ventilator manufacturing facility to help make an unprecedented volume of ventilators as fast as possible. The world needed ventilators to fight COVID-19 and we needed to ramp production using our best manufacturing methodologies.Using Lean techniques was once described by one of its founding leaders\, Taiichi Ohno\, as “looking at the timeline\, from the moment the customer gives us an order to the point when we collect the cash. And we are reducing the timeline by reducing the non-value adding wastes.” GE Healthcare has incorporated Lean into its operational fabric just as described in the quote to delivery reliable daily output as well as to take on new manufacturing challenges. In this presentation\, I will describe the challenge that COVID-19 presented to our company\, to the production process & to the cross-functional group of people involved in supporting production. To tell this story\, I will be sharing some basics about Lean Methodologies and how it influenced our approach\, communications & the execution of an unprecedented ventilator output. Finally\, I will discuss how these same methodologies and approach can be used to positively impact your business\, career\, or challenge you’re facing.\n \nPassion: My passion is serving the Healthcare community by educating eager learners\, utilizing Lean-6 Sigma methodologies & incorporating Advanced Technologies to challenge the status quo & bring about meaningful improvement.\n\nExperience: I’ve been with GE Healthcare for 15 years in a variety of roles from a manufacturing engineer\, to a site & national Lean Leader to a multi-state field service director. These roles have including manufacturing\, service & commercial elements to them and always included a primary focus on healthcare. Additionally\, I have worked within the aviation\, energy & financial industries through cross-business projects. With my experience\, I was recently called on by GE to help during the COVID-19 response to drive increased output\, improved quality & to build a supportive culture in our ventilator manufacturing business. Additionally\, I have used this knowledge to start an education & consulting group focused on Lean methodologies called ripple Solutions LLC. My small business has allowed me to expand outside of healthcare & connect with the printing\, distribution\, university & non-healthcare manufacturing industries.\n\nEducation: I have a degree in Industrial Engineering with additional courses in Medical Sciences from University of Michigan\, class of 2007. I am a GE Healthcare Operations Management Leadership Program graduate\, I’m a certified Black Belt in DMAIC Lean Six Sigma and I’m Green Belt certified in DFSS Six Sigma. I have also received extensive GE Healthcare & Shingijtsu Lean training.\n\nThis seminar series is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach. For the Zoom link and password and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series\, please RSVP. For additional questions\, contact CHEPSseminar@umich.edu. Photographs and video taken at this event may be used to promote CHEPS\, College of Engineering\, and the University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS and Latina/o Studies Virtual Panel Discussion. Monumental Injustice in the Americas
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Registration required: http://myumi.ch/2DVXB\n\nAs a joint effort between the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS) and the Latina/o Studies Program\, this panel brings together scholars whose work helps us think about past and present efforts to topple physical monuments to historical figures across the Americas. As the United States recognizes \"Hispanic Heritage Month\,\" we push for thinking that cuts across borders. We highlight the hemisphere's interconnected histories of racism\, colonialism\, conquest and slavery that are at the center of both efforts to memorialize certain figures and stories\, and efforts to upend these commemorative structures and the narratives they support. Public discussions around contested symbols of injustice are themselves opportunities to remake historical narratives\, and we anticipate this panel will add a rich and important discussion.\n\nSpeaker Biographies:\n\nERIN L.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AT HOME WITH LITERATI: LEE VAN DER VOO & REBECCA HARDIN
DESCRIPTION:When 21 youth activists filed Juliana v. United States\, they asserted that the government’s continued negligence of the environment constituted a violation of their rights to life\, liberty\, and property. In As the World Burns\, Lee van der Voo follows the still-evolving legal case as she tells the plaintiffs’ stories\, all against the backdrop of the current climate-related crises and the mass protests happening and around the world. Granted unparalleled access to the plaintiffs and their legal team\, van der Voo reveals the human side of the climate crisis\, the dire effects of decades of inaction\, and the reasons why tackling our environmental issues in the courts is possibly our last real hope for meaningful intervention. This book is a call to arms for all of us\, young and old alike.\n\nAuthor Bio:\n\nLee van der Voo is an award-winning investigative and environmental journalist whose work has appeared in the New York Times\, The Atlantic\, and The Guardian\, among others. Her 2016 book The Fish Market\, which chronicles the gentrification of the sea in the name of sustainable seafood\, won an Oregon Book Award for General Nonfiction.
