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:Presentation:Clinical Brown Bag:  Applying a HiTOP(ian) approach to understanding clinical bias: Borderline personality disorder diagnosis among (SGM) Sexual and Gender Minority populations.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nBorderline personality disorder (BPD) is considered a severe form of psychopathology associated with a host of negative outcomes. Empirical evidence suggests high prevalence of BPD diagnosis among sexual and gender minority samples. Non-cisgender identity has been historically equated with BPD diagnosis\, the improper diagnosis of which imposes potential barriers to accessing appropriate gender affirming care. In addition\, sexual and gender minority populations contend with greater psychosocial stress and exhibit higher rates of common forms of psychopathology than their heterosexual cisgender peers. Limited evidence suggests that higher prevalence of BPD diagnosis among sexual and gender minority individuals might not accurately index underlying BPD-pathology levels among these populations. Further\, current conceptualization and treatment recommendations for BPD diagnosis diverge in subtle\, yet potentially detrimental\, ways from evidence-based treatment principles for sexual and gender minority individuals. In the current talk\, I will present the results from 3 studies incorporating a transdiagnostic factors approach—consistent with the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) model—to examining bias in the diagnosis of BPD among sexual and gender minority individuals.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Literacy Among American Indians: Levels and Trends from 1900 to 1930 and Across Birth Cohorts from 1830 to 1920
DESCRIPTION:Contact PSC Office for Zoom details.\n\nWe investigate levels and trends in literacy among American Indians in the United States. Using 1900-1930 decennial census data\, we document literacy for the 1900 through 1930 period and for birth cohorts from 1830 through 1920. We thus provide for American Indians a large-scale picture of the history of literacy. We document the pace and extent of Indian literacy from very low for the birth cohorts of the early 1800s to fairly universal for the cohorts of the early 1900s. We also demonstrate that the increases in Indian literacy were closely related to birth cohort\, with successive new birth cohorts having higher levels of literacy. We found little evidence that increases in literacy from 1900 to 1930 happened because adults increased their literacy after the school years and as they matured across the adult life course. We also document important gender differences in Native American literacy\, with the proportion literate being lower for women than for men\, but with the gender gap decreasing in later birth cohorts. There were also substantial literacy inequalities across geographical regions of the country-ranging from 19 to 74 percent literate across regions in 1900. The trajectories of literacy attainment also varied across regions in interesting ways. We also document that Indian literacy was higher among those living in urban areas\, those more integrated into the Euro-American community\, and those with Euro-American ancestry.\n\nhttps://ssai.isr.umich.edu/\n\nContact PSC Office for Zoom details.\n\n\nBIO:\nArland Thornton is Professor of Sociology\, Population Studies\, and Survey Research at the University of Michigan\, where he is also associated with the \, Native American Studies Program and several Centers within the International Institute. He is a social demographer who has served as president of the Population Association of America and previously held a MERIT award from the National Institutes of Health. He has received four awards for his books as well as distinguished career awards from the American Sociological Association and the Population Association of America. Thornton has focused much of his career on the study of family and demographic issues\, with emphasis on marriage\, cohabitation\, childbearing\, gender roles\, education\, and migration. Thornton has also pioneered the study of developmental idealism\, including its conceptualization\, measurement\, and influence in many places. He has collaborated in the collection and analysis of data from Albania\, Argentina\, Bulgaria\, China\, Egypt\, Hungary\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Malawi\, Nepal\, Romania\, Saudi Arabia\, Taiwan\, Turkey\, the U.S.\, and Vietnam. Thornton is currently conducting research concerning American Indians\, with a particular focus on levels and trends in schools\, school enrollment\, and literacy.\n\n\nLinda Young-DeMarco is a Lead Research Area Specialist with extensive longitudinal research project management experience. Her expertise includes project conceptualization\, construct and measurement development\, design and preparation of open ended survey materials\, survey questionnaire design\, interviewer training\, design\, implementation\, and supervision of data management activities\, design and direction of archival activities\, contributions to the conceptualization of data analyses\, design and execution of data analyses\, and collaboration in the authorship of substantive peer-reviewed research papers and book chapters. She has been project manager and collaborator with researchers at the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research on numerous international research projects that focus on development and people's ideational beliefs concerning development around the world.\n\nPSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Cognitive Science Seminar: Extending a task-general computational model of procedural learning
DESCRIPTION:Bryan Stearns will give a talk titled \"Extending a task-general computational model of procedural learning.\"\n\nPlease visit the seminar series website for Zoom link and details.\n\nABSTRACT\nCan we understand human generality and learning well enough to make computer systems that learn the way we learn? Many models exist that help us describe various aspects of human learning or let us evaluate competing theories. It is harder to find models that specify processing at a level that is detailed enough to allow a computer system to actually perform human-like learning. This talk presents some of my thesis work that extends a model of human procedural learning to have more specific computational detail. In the process\, I also extend the model by discovering connections with prior theoretical work in human skill acquisition and some neuroscience.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CSCS/MIDAS/CSS Seminar | Towards An Artificial Intuition: Conversational Markers Of (Anti)Social Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:MEETING LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95443347994\n\nAbstract: Can conversational dynamics—the nature of the back and forth between people—predict outcomes of social interactions?  This talk will describe efforts on developing an artificial intuition about ongoing conversations\, by modeling the subtle pragmatic and rhetorical choices of the participants.\n\nThe resulting framework distills emerging conversational patterns that can point to the nature of the social relation between interlocutors\, as well as to the future trajectory of this relation.  For example\, I will discuss how interactional dynamics can be used to foretell whether an online conversation will stay on track or eventually derail into personal attacks\, providing community moderators several hours of prior notice before an anti-social event is likely to occur.\n\nThe data and code are available through the Cornell Conversational Analysis Toolkit (ConvoKit): http://convokit.cornell.edu\n\nThis talk includes joint work with Jonathan P. Chang\, Lucas Dixon\, Liye Fu\, Yiqing Hua\, Dan Jurafsky\,  Lillian Lee\, Jure Leskovec\, Vlad Niculae\, Chris Potts\, Arthur Spirling\, Dario Taraborelli\, Nithum Thain\, and Justine Zhang.\n\nBio:  Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil is an associate professor in the information science department at Cornell University.  His research aims at developing computational methods that can lead to a better understanding of our conversational practices\, supporting tools that can improve the way we communicate online.  He is the recipient of several awards—including an NSF CAREER Award\, the WWW 2013 Best Paper Award\, a CSCW 2017 Best Paper Award\, and two Google Faculty Research Awards—and his work has been featured in popular media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal\, NBC’s The Today Show\, NPR and the New York Times.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Flavour Anomalies and Exotic States at the LHCb Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Please contact Beth Demkowski\, demkowsk@umich.edu for Zoom link.\n\nOver the past 5 years\, the LHCb collaboration has performed a suite of measurements involving the properties of B-hadron decays that appear to be in tension with SM predictions.These measurements point to the existence of a new particle\, such as a Lepto-Quark\, with non-universal lepton couplings. At the same time\, the LHCb collaboration has revealed the existence  of multiple new exotic hadrons with different quark content that could provide new insight into our understanding  of the strong interaction. In this seminar\, we will review both these topics\, their interpretations\, as well as plans with upcoming upgrades of the detector. \n

DESCRIPTION:ZOOM REGISTRATION REQUIRED: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CcI2trSATJy47aGtwrzhew\n\nAbstract: The life-cycle of RNA from transcription to translational regulation is mediated by a diverse (>2000) set of proteins called RNA binding proteins.  My lab studies the many roles that RNA binding proteins have in affecting RNA expression\, splicing\, transport and translation. Through our studies on RNA processing\, we have introduced therapeutic strategies to treat neurodegenerative and muscular diseases\, built cellular models of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases and developed experimental and computational tools that enable the community to probe RNA binding protein-RNA interactions at scale. I will discuss (1) our established and new technologies to identify RNA targets of human RBPs at scale\, (2) systematic assays to assign molecular roles to RBPs and (2) functional screens to identify RBPs implicated in cancer / RNA granule formation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Tracking A Pandemic: An Analytical View of the COVID-19 Progression and Implications for Business Plans to Re-Engage in the Economy
DESCRIPTION:The SARS-CoV-2 virus caused widespread disruption across the globe\, affecting literally every aspect of human life.  The business environment was not spared in this disruption\, as customers\, the workforce\, workplace environments and supply chains were each turned upside-down\, almost overnight.  Operating practices needed to be challenged\, re-engineered and re-adopted – at the speed of business.  That is akin to replacing the aircraft engine while the plane is mid-flight.\n\nThe challenge faced by business leaders from the outset of the pandemic\, and remains true today\, is that objective\, analytical information on the state of the virus was and remains woefully inadequate. Further\, every organization operating in multiple geographical and political jurisdictions has to navigate different and every-changing rules governing the ability to conduct operations.\n\nIn mid-March\, I launched an effort to build a repository of critical virus-related information (tests\, positives\, infections\, recoveries\, fatalities) at various levels of granularity – world\, country\, state or province\, and metropolitan area.  From this\, I established a daily reporting mechanism and underlying analyses\, designed to equip business leaders\, economic and investment advisors and clinicians with insight about the state of the virus spread and underlying trends.  My intent was to inform these leaders with actionable intelligence\, free of both the fearmongering and denial perspectives that were dominating the general and social media.\n\nThese efforts have resulted in my direct engagement with four organizations’ operational planning efforts around the pandemic: two for-profit organizations involved in the manufacture and distribution of critical medical/life sciences products to consumers around the globe\, a not-for-profit agency supporting families of critically-ill children and a governmental agency charged with administering a state-wide pandemic response effort. Additionally\, I provide daily reports on the state of the virus to an estimated 2\,000 clinicians\, health organization managers\, economists and investment managers.\n\nThese lessons provide strong insight for the analytical practitioner. Through this effort\, I have discovered the challenges of making actionable sense of data from a novel virus . . . in real-time.  Data sources and definitions are in constant flux\, external reporting lacks analytical rigor\, and\, new knowledge frequently trumps previously held scientific beliefs.  More profoundly\, models reported on and used extensively by government officials are often accepted as dogma but\, may be nothing more than assumptions built upon several more layers of assumptions.\n\nMark currently serves as the Board Chair of Crown Healthcare Laundry Inc.\, a Quilvest Private Equity-portfolio company and as Strategic Advisor to Terso Solutions Inc.\, a subsidiary of Promega that provides Real Time Location Services (RTLS) for field-based inventory of leading medical implant and biotech companies. \n\nHe previously served as chief strategist and business intelligence officer for Owens & Minor\, Inc.\; as a Partner in the healthcare consulting practice at Ernst & Young\, where he launched the firm’s health care supply chain practice\; and as a Management Engineer at the Detroit Medical Center. \n\nMark also serves on the National Advisory Board of the Congenital Heart Center at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital at the University of Michigan\, and on the Advisory Board of the Medical Device Supply Chain Council. He recently completed two terms on the Board of the Bellwether League Inc. \n\nIn the midst of the COVID-19 situation\, Mark is producing an objective and analytical daily report on the virus progression in the US and worldwide. This report has become a go-to source for nearly 2\,000 physicians\, scientists\, health system and supplier executives\, economists\, investment bankers and\, one former head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.\n\nMark holds an MBA from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and a Bachelor of Science in Industrial & Operations Engineering\, also from the University of Michigan.\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.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Race\, Gender\, and Rights: Histories of the Practice of Democratic Citizenship
DESCRIPTION:A panel discussion presented in partnership with the American Academy of Arts & Sciences\n\nWhat does it mean to be a citizen of the United States? The Constitution does not define who gets to be a citizen\, or what citizenship means. Rather\, citizenship has been defined over time\, often through struggle and activism by people who were denied the full rights of citizenship. The Clements Library at the University of Michigan in partnership with the American Academy of Arts & Sciences will host a virtual panel discussion featuring Derrick Spires of Cornell University (author of *The Practice of Citizenship: Black Politics and Print Culture in the Early United States*) and Martha Jones of Johns Hopkins University (author of *Birthright Citizens: A History of Race and Rights in Antebellum America* and *Vanguard: How Black Women Broke Barriers\, Won the Vote\, and Insisted on Equality for All*). The conversation will be moderated by Ben Vinson III\, Provost of Case Western Reserve University.\n\nIn anticipation of the discussion\, Clements Library Director Paul Erickson highlights recent work by Spires\, Jones and AAA&S in this blog post: myumi.ch/2DlAZ
