For those who purchased before 12/15\, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.\n\nSynopsis:\nAn intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life\, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

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.

With writers more in demand than ever in Hollywood\, this craft lecture will explore how literary writers can put themselves in a position to do both.\n\n\nJenny Zhang’s debut story collection\, *Sour Heart*\, centers on immigrants who have traded their endangered lives as artists in China and Taiwan for the constant struggle of life at the poverty line in 1990s New York City. Zhang is currently adapting *Sour Heart* into a feature-length film for A24.\n\nFrom the young woman coming to terms with her grandmother’s role in the Cultural Revolution to the daughter struggling to understand where her family ends and she begins\, to the girl discovering the power of her body to inspire and destroy\, *Sour Heart*'s seven stories illuminate the complex and messy inner lives of girls struggling to define themselves. \n\nJenny Zhang is also the author of the poetry collection\, *Dear Jenny\, We Are All Find*. Her second collection of poetry\, *My Baby First Birthday*\, is forthcoming from Tin House. She is the recipient of the Pen/Bingham Award for Debut Fiction and the LA Times Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction.\n\n\nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (BA ’64\, LLDHon ’13). For more information\, please visit the Zell Visiting Writers Program webpage: https://lsa.umich.edu/writers\n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email asbates@umich.edu-- we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you.

In practice\, this can lead to severe vulnerabilities\, limited successful generalization to unseen data\, and hinder safe deployment. While practitioners are increasingly aware of these problems\, the common paradigm of reporting model performance continues to rely on the train-val-test i.i.d. splits.\n\nIn this talk\, I will introduce the Robustness Gym: an easy-to-use and extendable framework to concisely evaluate the robustness and diagnose model vulnerabilities using data slices\, i.e.\, user-defined splits or transformation of evaluation data\, on a wide range of NLP tasks in both classification and generation. Data slices are generic and can represent\, for example\, semantic sub-populations (gender\, age splits)\, augmentations (sub-word substitutions)\, adversarial attacks\, or statistical splits (e.g.\, by word frequency).\n\nOur framework is flexible and enables users to programmatically define and evaluate on data slices.\n\nThe Robustness Gym provides an overview of model performance on data slices and supports a wide variety of evaluation metrics\, including accuracy\, precision-recall\, and fairness metrics. Our framework can also evaluate model robustness under dataset manipulations\,including a range of adversarial attacks\, data-augmentations\, and different evaluation sets such as stress tests and contrast sets.\n\nRSVP here:https://salesforce.recsolu.com/external/events/AhRCRs2BDJ8W7gVJLaUtdw UID:78697-20107387@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78697 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200826T155721 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T110000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:U-M Structure Seminar: Christina Howard DESCRIPTION:Christina Howard\nGraduate Student\nCierpicki Lab\nUniversity of MIchigan UID:76030-19655358@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/76030 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Lecture,Structural Biology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201107T063041 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T125500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs: AI @APL (Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning/Data Science opportunities at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab) DESCRIPTION:Are you passionate about providing real impact to the country’s toughest national security problems?\n\nDo you love to push the boundaries of science and technology?\n\nAre you searching for engaging work with an employer that prioritizes continual innovation?\n\nIf so\, APL cordially invites you to learn more about how we are using Data Science\, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to address some of the Nation’smost critical challenges. \n\nCome meet our Hiring Managers and TechnicalStaff to learn more about our work within the Asymmetric Operations Sector and other areas of the Lab.

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.

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!

They inspired my 30 year-long obsession with dynamin\, the mammalian homologue of *shibire.* Our subsequent studies of dynamin\, which began in the early 90s provide benefitted from the development of new technologies and from interdisciplinary collaboration. I’ll describe the twists and turns of our efforts to understand the mechanisms underlying dynamin-catalyzed fission\, the value of interdisciplinary collaborations\, and the importance of taking all data into account when formulating models. I’ll detail our current understanding of dynamin-catalyzed fission\, now supported by independent studies of others\, and briefly describe the many remaining unanswered questions\, keeping in mind (in the words of George Box) that\, *“All models are wrong\, but some are useful.\"* UID:77918-19941583@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/77918 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biophysics,Free,Industry Session,Research,seminar,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201107T063032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Director’s FinancialAnalyst (DFA) Program information session 10/23 DESCRIPTION:The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will be hosting information sessions about the DFA Program and the application process\, including a question-and-answer period\, conducted over WebEx.

The Indies of the Setting Sun: Asia and the Early Modern Spanish Geopolitical Imagination DESCRIPTION:Free event\; please register in advance at: http://myumi.ch/3qV0m\n\nRicardo Padrón will be discussing his new book\, *The Indies of the Setting Sun: How Early Modern Spain Mapped the Far East as the Transpacific West *(Chicago\, 2020). Against established historiography that emphasizes the ways in which America was “invented” as a continent separate from Asia relatively early in the history of European contact with the New World\, Padrón looks at the ways in which early modern Spaniards imagined the two continents as connected spaces. Crucial to this effort was the concept of the “Indies\,” which retained a powerful transpacific dimension throughout the sixteenth century\, in Spanish-speaking circles at least\, serving to figure East and Southeast Asia as the western frontier of Spain’s New World empire.\n \nPadrón is Associate Professor of Spanish at the University of Virginia. His earlier monograph\, *The Spacious Word: Cartography\, Literature\, and Empire in Early Modern Spain* (Chicago 2004) established his reputation as a scholar of early modern cartography\, broadly conceived\, and on the relationship between visual and verbal mapping. His work has been supported by grants from the American Council of Learned Societies and the National Endowment for the Humanities. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Renaissance Society of America.

They invoke a liminality that can be disruptive of\, and also a provocation to\, stability and order. Yet their outcomes are seldom predictable. It is precisely as threshold moments that they acquire their historical charge. Chaos and clamor\, a public outcry or protestation\, brings into focus the challenge of historical change: the often unexpected manner in which seemingly stable political and social orders can be suddenly made\, unmade\, and re-made. This theme invites us to offer new inflections on long-standing debates about the nature of history itself\, the relative weight of individual and collective actions\, of discrete events and moments\, and of longer-term historical trends. This semester we explore the disorganization that propels history and our approach towards it.\n\nPanelists: \n\nHoward Brick (Louis Evans Chair in US History\, University of Michigan)\nKatherine French (J.

Remarkably\, they have an intrinsic ability to self-organize into embryo-like or organ-like structures and will spontaneously form spatial patterns in a dish through interplay of biochemical signaling networks and cell mechanics. Understanding how they do this will both answer fundamental questions about developmental biology and aid countless therapeutic applications. The quantitative toolkit of physics is essential to unravel the mechanisms that underlie the complex spatiotemporal behavior of these cells as they self-organize. I will discuss how quantitative experiments with stem cells have led us to challenge existing models for cell differentiation and pitch a project to explore how physical forces influence cell fate decisions.\n UID:78664-20099532@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78664 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200929T113905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T140000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Phondi Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Phondi is a discussion and research group for students and faculty at U-M and nearby universities who have interests in phonetics and phonology.

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.

This workshop explores the roles open to Muslim characters in serialized comics and graphic novels. The medium of serialized comics\, commercialized in the twentieth century by mainstream comics publishers such as Marvel and DC\, and epitomized by their respective superhero universes\, has long been associated with a lack of racial and religious diversity\, the sexualization of female characters\, and a reader base that is stereotypically young\, male\, and white. Minority characters were often limited to tokenized villains or sidekicks designed for comic relief. But the contemporary young Muslim female superhero Ms. Marvel symbolizes a comics landscape that is changing. In the contexts of the Gulf Wars\, 9/11\, the Arab Spring\, the Palestinian conflict\, ongoing civil unrest in the Middle East\, and worldwide refugee migrant crises\, writers and artists from the Muslim and Arab worlds\, and others writing journalistically and historically about those locales\, are at the forefront of graphic medium literary production.\n \nGraphic novels and comics by and about Muslims and Arabs comprise a growing and distinctive narrative strain within comics studies—one that this event of comics and Muslim and Arab Studies artists and scholars seeks to investigate.\n \nChris Gavaler (On the Origin of Superheroes: From the Big Bang to Action Comics No. 1\, 2015) explores the Islamicist history of the 20th-century superhero.\n \nEsra Mirze Santesso (Disorientation: Muslim Identity in Contemporary Anglophone Literature\, 2013) discusses human rights discourse in narratives of war and dissidence in Iran and Kashmir.\n \nKarla Mallette (European Modernity and the Arab Mediterranean\, 2010) reports on resistance to Muslim and other minority identity politics from some comics readers.\n \nAliyah Khan (Far from Mecca: Globalizing the Muslim Caribbean\, 2020) examines orientalist representations of Muslim female superheroes.\n\nSena Duran is a third-year PhD student in the department of American Culture. Her research approaches representations of Muslims in U.S. visual media through Feminist and Genre Studies frameworks\, with specific attention to the use of monstrosity and eroticism in narratives of U.S. nationalism\, empire\, and racial subjugation. \n\n \nThe presenters bring postcolonial\, decolonial\, comics studies\, and historicizing methodologies to bear on understanding commonalities and differences among Islamic\, Muslim\, and Arab graphic narratives\, reading them as transnational works that\, as many of their subjects do\, cross borders and resist authoritarian states.\n \n \nCosponsored by: The Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, The Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, Middle East Studies\, and Arab and Muslim American Studies UID:78302-20004861@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78302 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:cmenas,Discussion,islamic studies,Lecture,Muslim,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201020T160024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T150000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:HistLing Discussion Group: Old Chinese messages from underground DESCRIPTION:HistLing is devoted to discussions of language change.

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.

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.

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. Johnson\, Francis Nunoo-Quarcoo\, Endi Poskovic\, Destini Riley\, and Stamps Gallery.\n\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.

What issues would you work on\, what techniques would you deploy? That’s precisely the position the APS Office of Government Affairs found itself in nearly four years ago. The talk will describe the circumstances APS faced\, and how we responded\, focusing on particular APS campaigns that successfully pushed back against federal proposals for deep cuts to R&D funding and for a new tax on graduate students. The talk will then consider current issues and how APS is now using the grassroots-based approach it developed to advance legislation on STEM visa-reform and to pass legislation in the House of Representatives to address sexual harassment in STEM.\n\nBio:\nFrancis Slakey is the Chief External Affairs Officer of the American Physical Society\, overseeing the governmental\, international\, and industrial activities of APS. \n\nDr. Slakey received his Ph.D. in Physics in 1992 from the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign and was the Upjohn Lecturer on Science and Public Policy at Georgetown University where he founded the Program on Science in the Public Interest. He served in advisory positions for a diverse set of organizations including the National Geographic\, the Council on Foreign Relations\, the International Panel on Solutions to Sustainability\, the Creative Coalition\, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society\, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, a MacArthur Scholar\, and a Lemelson Research Associate of the Smithsonian Institution. \n\nDr. Slakey became the 28th American to summit Mt. Everest in an unguided environmental expedition that was the subject of the movie \"Beyond the Summit\"\, described in his international best-selling adventure memoir “To The Last Breath.” He is the first person in history to both summit the highest mountain on every continent and surf every ocean. In recognition of his adventures\, as part of the 2002 Olympic Games\, he carried the Olympic torch from the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

Determining the petrophysical changes that occur to subducted crust along the downgoing slab–asthenospheric mantle interface is critical to defining mass and energy transport between the hydrosphere and deep interior\, and for constraining long-term geochemical cycles. Here\, I show via petrological modelling how phase assemblages\, the P–T conditions of key devolatilization reactions\, and the effect of densification with depth vary for typical MORB along newly defined “hotter” subduction zone geotherms for cold\, warm\, and average environments. The depth and extent of devolatilization of typical MORB is strongly dependent on the geotherm under which the oceanic crust subducts. At the onset of subduction along a warm geotherm\, metabasites contain ~3 wt% of H2O\, and release ~45% of the bulk-rock H2O in a fluid pulse at ~20 km. Below these depths\, metabasites will dehydrate gradually liberating 45% of the bulk-rock H2O and complete dehydration will be achieved at ~70 km. Oceanic crust subducting along an average geotherm will contain ~3.5 wt% of H2O at the onset of subduction\, and will release ~40% of the bulk-rock H2O in two fluid pluses occurring at ~30 and 50 km. Below these depths\, the metabasite will dehydrate gradually liberating ~50% of the bulk-rock H2O and complete dehydration will be achieved at ~80 km. By contrast\, at the onset of cold subduction\, metabasites will typically be H2O undersaturated\, and will dehydrate gradually at different depths\, subducting ~0.6 wt% of H2O to sub-arc depths. Metabasites subducting along a warm and average geotherm will liberate most of the fluids at shallower depths\, suggesting that these lithologies might preferentially exhume\, yet MORB subducting along cold geotherms will not dehydrate until greater depths\, inhibiting buoyancy-driven exhumation. While we show that metabasites formed along warmer geotherms are denser than metabasites from colder geotherms\, buoyancy-driven exhumation provoked by fluids play a most important role than the overall metabasite bulk-rock density. We also put forward that slab melting occurs only along the hottest subduction geotherms. In these subduction zones\, whereas melting is predicted to occur at subarc depths—allowing adakitic magmatism. We posit that in the hottest subduction zones\, aqueous fluids and hydrous melts enhance chemical recycling.

This subject gap advantage (SGA) is a fact that grounded\, conjecturally\, Keenan & Comrie (1977)’s Accessibility Hierarchy and one which has been extensively investigated (e.g.\, Kwon\, Lee\, Gordon\, Kluender & Polinsky\, 2010). In recent years a new generation of studies has challenged or re-characterized the SGA by incorporating data from language users whose grammars provide better resources for disentangling competing theories\, and who are not typically included in psycholinguistic experiments. This has certainly resulted in a more nuanced understanding of the SGA and relative clause processing. But more than that\, it has also mapped out new topics\, such as the processing of verb-initial clauses or ergative-absolutive case systems. In the first part of the talk\, I will tour this new state-of-the-art to highlight some of these emerging findings and research agendas. In the second part of the talk\, I will draw on work from my own group on Chamorro and Zapotec to support the idea that the SGA is driven fundamentally by timing\, that is\, the order in which syntactic hypotheses are projected from partial evidence.

Ghosts are an embodiment of failed revolutions and unrealized futures\, which need to be used as a starting point for new conversations within this century and beyond. Every life form is a gift.” The conversation discusses the critical role art and artists can play in times of crisis\, and the significance of public art at a time when we are changing the picture as to who we honor and what we value. \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is made possible by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, supporting the Institute for the Humanities commitment to High Stakes Art. In partnership with Institute for the Humanities\, Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, Charles Wright Museum of African American History\, and UMMA. This event is part of the Democracy & Debate theme semester.\n\nNotice of uncensored content: In 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.
