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.

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.

Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \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\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History\, Detroit. \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to further the Institute for the Humanities Gallery’s longtime mission in support of art as social practice.\n\nOct. 1-23\; large-scale public art installation\, U-M Museum of Art building facade\, 525 S.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nData-Driven Sample-Average Approximation for Stochastic Optimization with Covariate Information\n\nAbstract:\nWe consider optimization models for decision-making in which parameters within the optimization model are uncertain\, but predictions of these parameters can be made using available covariate information. We consider a data-driven setting in which we have observations of the uncertain parameters together with concurrently-observed covariates. Given a new covariate observation\, the goal is to choose a decision that minimizes the expected cost conditioned on this observation. We investigate a data-driven framework in which the outputs from a machine learning prediction model are directly used to define a stochastic programming sample average approximation (SAA). The framework is flexible and accommodates parametric\, nonparametric\, and semiparametric regression techniques. The basic version of this framework is not new\, but we are the first to analyze the procedure and derive conditions on the data generation process\, the prediction model\, and the stochastic program under which solutions of these data-driven SAAs are consistent and asymptotically optimal. We also derive convergence rates and finite sample guarantees. We also propose new variations that use out-of-sample residuals of leave-one-out prediction models for scenario generation. Computational experiments validate our theoretical results\, demonstrate the potential advantages of our data-driven formulations over existing approaches (even when the prediction model is misspecified)\, and illustrate the benefits of our new variants in the limited data regime.\n\nBio:\nJim Luedtke is a Professor and Associate Chair for Graduate Studies in the department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

With so much output around engagement within our own borders\, it can be difficult knowing where to access new knowledge coming out globally\, and there is much to share between countries about different ways to organize community-based research in all its forms (CBR\, CBPR\, PAR). In our experience\, graduate students and new faculty have said they want to learn more about different models to create equitable research and class projects. The International Living Knowledge Network of “Science Shops” has a 40-year history using principles of knowledge co-creation in a ‘brokerage’ type fashion. Forging positive links with researchers in the EU and beyond would also yield mutually beneficial exchanges of information and resources in both directions\, helping increase the reach of CBR and innovation projects globally. While current U.S. political polarization creates heavy headwinds for science and research\, many U.S. individuals and institutions are working hard to encourage knowledge co-production\, including some robust activities in CBR and Citizen Science we can share and compare.

Accurate prediction of tropical cyclogenesis by numerical models has been a significant challenge\, largely because of the lack of observations over the tropical oceans. The atmospheric limb sounding technique\, which makes use of radio signals transmitted by global navigation satellite systems (GNSS)\, has evolved as a robust global observing system. This technique\, known as radio occultation (RO) can provide valuable water vapor and temperature observations for the analysis and prediction of tropical cyclogenesis. Using the WRF modeling and data assimilation system\, we show that the assimilation of RO data can substantially improve the skills of the model in predicting the tropical cyclogenesis for ten typhoon cases that took place over the Western Pacific from 2008 to 2010. To gain insight on the impact of GPS RO data assimilation\, we perform a detailed analysis of the formation process of Typhoon Nuri (2008)\, and examine how the assimilation of the GPS RO data enables the model to capture the cyclogenesis. The joint Taiwan-U.S. COSMIC-II mission was launched in June 2019. It has been providing more than 5\,000 GPS RO data per day over the tropics since March 2020\, after the check-out phase.

Assessing the State of Play in Polish Politics: The 2020 Presidential Elections DESCRIPTION:Panelists: Anna Grzymała-Busse\, Michelle and Kevin Douglas Professor of International Studies\, Stanford University\; Benjamin Paloff\, associate professor of Slavic languages & literatures and comparative literature\, U-M\; Brian Porter-Szűcs\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of History\, U-M.\n\nIn the first round of Poland’s 2020 presidential elections\, the incumbent Andrzej Duda\, from the ruling Law and Justice Party\, received 43% of the vote. If this result suggested an early consolidation of conservative voters’ enthusiasm\, the second round of voting revealed an evenly divided electorate\, with Duda winning reelection with just 51% of the total against Warsaw mayor Rafał Trzaskowski. What does this result tell us about the current state of national politics in Poland and the Law and Justice Party’s claims to a popular mandate to alter democratic institutions? Does it suggest an erosion of populist politics in Central Europe\, or is it rather an affirmation of the ruling party’s Euroscepticism and judicial reforms? Professors Anna Grzymala-Busse (political science\, Stanford) and Brian Porter-Szücs (history\, U-M) will walk us through this dynamic landscape\, discussing what it reveals about Poland’s present and what it might portend for its future.\n\nRegistration is required for this Zoom webinar at http://myumi.ch/er4dR.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at copernicus@umich.edu.

One particular aspect of this software is that it is often safety-critical\, meaning that a serious bug in the software could lead to damage to the vehicle or even loss of life. For this reason the most critical software – such as collision avoidance software – must be thoroughly verified and validated. Formal verification provides a computer-checked proof that the software satisfies a given property\, thus providing the highest level of verification and validation. In this talk I will show some recent results of my group on formally verifying several algorithms from the automobile and aerospace industries. I will first present a formal verification of several maneuvers for car collision avoidance\, including turning-only maneuvers and braking-while-swerving maneuvers. I will then show how to verify recent designs of aircraft collision avoidance systems that use neural networks\, and how to better design them so they don't exhibit bugs. Finally\, I will show how to bring formal verification to computational science\, with a verification of the Lax theorem for finite difference schemes.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nJean-Baptiste Jeannin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. His research focuses on formal verification of cyber-physical systems and computational schemes\, particularly applied to aerospace systems\, as well as design and analysis of programming languages. Prior to Michigan\, he was a Researcher at Samsung Research America and a Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University\, working with André Platzer. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University in 2013\, where he was advised by Dexter Kozen.

He oversees the agency’s relief and development operations in over 30 countries\, its refugee resettlement and assistance programs throughout the United States and the IRC’s advocacy efforts in Washington and other capitals on behalf of the world’s most vulnerable people.\n\nDavid has had a distinguished political career in the United Kingdom. From 2007 to 2010\, he served as the youngest Foreign Secretary in three decades\, driving advancements in human rights and representing the United Kingdom throughout the world. His accomplishments have earned him a reputation\, in former President Bill Clinton's words\, as \"one of the ablest\, most creative public servants of our time.” In 2016 David was named one of the World’s Greatest Leaders by Fortune Magazine and in 2018 he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.\n\nDavid is also the author of the book\, Rescue: Refugees and the Political Crisis of Our Time. As the son of refugees\, David brings a personal commitment to the IRC's work and to the premise of the book: that we can rescue the dignity and hopes of refugees and displaced people. And if we help them\, in the process we will rescue our own values.

These impacts range from worsening enjoyment of economic and social rights to governmental reactions that violate political rights. The disproportionate rates of infection\, deaths\, and other adverse social and health impacts among historically oppressed groups in many countries highlight structural inequities and failures of states’ to protect the rights to life and health. States' approaches to the epidemic often reflect their own approaches to human rights. This panel of distinguished experts on global health and human rights will explore the impact of the pandemic on human rights\, as well as the connections between a country's human rights practices -- including its practices on the right to health -- and its response to the pandemic.

Mythical\, lyrical\, and sweeping in scope\, the novel subverts and reimagines the myths of the American West.\n\nArriving onto the literary scene with her first bestselling novel\, *The Tiger’s Wife*\, Téa Obreht writes fiction that explores themes of narrative\, myth and memory. Weaving a brilliant latticework of family legend\, loss\, and love\, Obreht’s stunning debut novel links the past and present by stories and anecdotes in an unnamed Balkan country mending from war. Rapturously received\, *The Tiger’s Wife* won the 2011 Orange Prize for Fiction\, was a 2011 National Book Award finalist\, was an international bestseller\, and was named one of the best books of the year by numerous publications including *The New York Times Book Review*\, *Publisher's Weekly*\, *Vogue*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, and *O: The Oprah Magazine*. \n\nIn *Inland*\, Obreht's second novel\, Obreht takes on the sweeping mythology of the American West\, reimagining myths and forging new truths about the American West. An Editor's Choice\, T*he New York Times Book Review* praised *Inland*\, \"Obreht’s simple but rich prose captures and luxuriates in the West’s beauty and sudden menace. Remarkable in a novel with such a sprawling cast\, Obreht also has a poetic touch for writing intricate and precise character descriptions.” The book was named among President Obama’s summer reading list for 2019. \n\nObreht's work has been anthologized in *The Best American Short Stories* and *The Best American Non-Required Reading*\, and has appeared in *The New Yorker*\, *Harper's*\, *The Atlantic*\, *Vogue*\, *Esquire* and *Zoetrope: All-Story*\, among many others. A recipient of fellowships from the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library and the National Endowment for the Arts\, Obreht. was named by *The New Yorker* as one of the twenty best American fiction writers under forty. She lives in New York with her husband\, and teaches at Hunter College.\n\n\nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester.

DESCRIPTION:Infectious diseases have been some of humanity's biggest killers. Fortunately\, we possess an evolved psychology of pathogen avoidance - a system of mental mechanisms that help us identify\, track\, and respond to such dangers\, thereby reducing risks of infection. Unfortunately\, this system is imperfect - we mistake which information is diagnostic\, leading to faulty assumptions\, pernicious attitudes\, and bad decisions. I will review recent work in our lab focusing on how we conceptualize pathogen threats and consequences of this process. Additionally\, I will discuss when our understanding of pathogen avoidance psychology can inform explanations of pandemic behavior\, and more importantly\, why it might not.\n\nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96257205534\nMeeting ID: 962 5720 5534\nPassword: cogsci UID:78467-20050321@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78467 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Medicine,Pre Med,Pre-Health,Psychology,Public Policy LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201030T123037 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201015T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201015T190000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Advisor Development at Bank of America – Internship & Career Path Panel DESCRIPTION:Advisor Development at Bank of America – Internship & CareerPath Panel\n\nAre you interested in exploring the advisor career path?
