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.

For instance\, are a group of related genes in the same functional pathway jointly associated with a trait of interest? Such questions can be formulated as hypothesis testing problems that globally examine a large number of parameters in a high-dimensional joint distribution. Examples include hypothesis testing on mean vectors\, covariance matrices and regression coefficients. To extract informative scientific knowledge from abundant data\, reliability and efficiency are among the major concerns in statistical inference.\n\nIn this talk\, I will address particular reliability and efficiency issues arising from jointly testing a large number of parameters. First\, I will discuss how reliable the popular likelihood ratio tests (LRTs) are in terms of the type I error control for high-dimensional data. I will present statistically principled guidelines on the reliability of the LRTs in a variety of problems\, which are based on phase transition results of the foundational Wilk’s theorem. Next\, to improve efficiency of the existing testing procedures under high-dimensional settings\, I will introduce a new adaptive testing framework that can maintain high statistical power against a wide range of alternative hypotheses. The proposed framework is based on a family of U-statistics that are constructed to capture the information in different directions in high-dimensional spaces. For a broad class of problems\, we establish high-dimensional asymptotic theory for the U-statistics and develop adaptive testing procedures that are statistically powerful in a wide variety of scenarios.\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/94350208889\nThere will be a virtual reception to follow.

While the importance of such mechanisms is widely accepted\, it is still unclear how evolution has optimized the biological systems with respect to their characteristic properties. We developed a comprehensive first-passage theoretical framework that allowed us to quantitatively investigate the trade-offs between four properties of enzymatic systems namely\, error\, speed\, noise and energy dissipation. Within this framework\, we simultaneously analyzed speed and accuracy of several fundamental biological processes\, including DNA replication\, tRNA charging\, and tRNA selection during the translation. The results indicate that contrary to typical assumptions speed-accuracy trade-off is not always observed. However\, when the trade-off is present\, the biological systems tend to optimize the speed rather than the accuracy of the processes\, as long as the error level is tolerable. When systems function in the regime where no speed-accuracy trade-off is observed\, constraints due to energy dissipation in the proofreading play a key role. Our theory demonstrates a universal Pareto front in error-dissipation trade-off and shows how naturally selected kinetic parameters position their system close to this boundary. Our findings\, therefore\, provide a new system-level picture of how complex biological processes are able to function so fast with a high accuracy and low dissipation.

What Kind of Ecological Culture Do We Need?: Drought History and Lessons from Premodern Southeast Asia DESCRIPTION:Free event\; please register in advance at: http://myumi.ch/O4kB0\n\nHave we been making the environment worse while knowing more about how it works? Since the nineteenth century\, the rapid advancement of technologies has led to an increasingly sophisticated knowledge of the natural world. Science has helped explain the vast array of environmental processes. However\, we\, the human species\, have also become the frontal force of worsening conditions of the natural environment. In order to call for a reflection on our ecological culture\, this talk examines the history of drought from an area in eastern mainland Southeast Asia\, the core of what would later become modern Vietnam. It shows\, on the one hand\, why drought would stir up the most pressing social and political crises in the premodern period. On the other hand\, it explores the historical context that helped consolidate the premodern Vietnamese people’s resilience to drought. Most importantly\, this history uncovers a sustained ecological culture which compellingly asks us to rethink the way we have bonded with nature.\n \n Hieu Phung (PhD\, University of Hawaii) is a historian of premodern Vietnam and Southeast Asia. She is currently a visiting scholar at the Ohio State University\, and she will be teaching for both the University of Michigan and the University of Hawaii in the Fall of 2020. Before coming to the United States\, she taught at Vietnam National University-Hanoi and carried out extensive archival research at the Institute of Hán-Nôm Studies. Her research focuses on the relationship between the environment and state building\, with a particular interest in the historical agency of water and climate in stimulating social and political change. In pursuing environmental history\, she makes extensive use of traditional maps and texts that reveal the production of geographical knowledge. She is working on a book project entitled The Realization of a Water Space: An Environmental History of Late Medieval Vietnam\, using documents written in both classical Chinese and the demotic Vietnamese Nôm script. Her recent article\, “Naming the Red River - Becoming a Vietnamese river\,” will be published by the Journal of Southeast Asian Studies this December.

These developments have prompted a number of pressing questions about affect and the archive\, emotionality and history: How does one historicize affect? What are the emotional consequences of historical work\, both for historians and for those affected by their research and teaching? How does one approach a \"difficult\" or \"traumatic\" archive\, and what makes an archive \"difficult\" or \"traumatic\" in the first place? This roundtable will discuss these questions and more from a self-reflexive perspective\, exploring affect not only as a subject of historical inquiry and a methodological approach\, but also as an integral component of the experience of being a historian in emotional times.\n\nPanelists:\n•Colin Garon\, PhD Student\, Anthropology and History\, University of Michigan\n•Matthew Hershey\, PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan\n•Tara Weinberg\, PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan\n•Deirdre de la Cruz (chair)\, Associate Professor\; History\, Asian Languages and Cultures\; University of Michigan\n\nFree and open to the public.

The racial inequities exposed by COVID-19 paired with a national uprising against systemic racism has led colleges and universities nationwide to prioritize anti-racist teaching. While these efforts are appreciated and long overdue\, higher education institutions need to continue to examine how their policies and pedagogies have perpetuated racism and inequities and prohibited an inclusive learning environment for marginalized students. How can we demonstrate that actions to dismantle differential advantages—such as diversifying the curriculum\, implementing holistic admissions practices\, and recruiting and promoting people of color—are best for higher education institutions overall?\nSpeakers\nStephanie Rowley is Provost\, Dean\, and Vice President for Academic Affairs of Teachers College.

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.

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.

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.

Hydrologic modeling is a viable way to assess the lake water level changes. This study systematically evaluates the hydrologic potential of three global/regional reanalysis products\, namely the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Re-Analysis Generation 5 product (ERA-5)\, the Modern-Era Reanalysis for Research and Application version 2 (MERRA-2)\, and the Canadian Precipitation Analysis (CaPA)\, over the St. Lawrence river basin through a suite of uncoupled land surface model simulations for the period from 2014 to 2019. The evaluation focuses on multiple terrestrial water and energy components including soil moisture\, evapotranspiration\, snow depth\, and sensible and latent heat fluxes\, separating for a warm (May to October) and a cold (the rest of the year) season. Our results indicate good agreements in timing and magnitude for most of the simulations. The warm season sensible and latent heat fluxes and evapotranspiration simulations outperform the cold season ones. The soil moisture simulations indicate overestimation throughout the four profiles with increasing random error components for most of the stations. Both the evapotranspiration and soil moisture simulations performance show decreasing trends from low to high latitude bands. The snow depth simulations performance reveal elevation dependencies and spatial patterns conform the air temperature and precipitation differences.

Rendered simply\, though with exquisite detail\, Cutler’s style is reminiscent of European folk art\; however\, the narratives are left unexplained and the white backgrounds of her drawings provide little context or clues to the meanings. The fantasy world she creates is sometimes humorous and other times ominous.\n\nCutler is known for exquisitely detailed narrative works of art created through a pastiche of personal memories\, political observations\, and cultural insights. One-person exhibitions of works by the artist have taken place at SITE Santa Fe\; the Indianapolis Museum of Art\; the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía\, Madrid\; the Institute of Contemporary Art\, Philadelphia\; the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art\, Kansas City\; the Weatherspoon Art Museum\, Greensboro\, North Carolina\; and many other galleries and museums in the U.S. and Europe. \n\nWorks by Amy Cutler are featured in distinguished private and public collections\, including\, among others\, The Museum of Modern Art\, New York\; the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía\, Madrid\; the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York\; the Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis\; the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York\; the Hammer Museum\, Los Angeles\, the Morgan Library and Museum\, and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston.\n\nIn conjunction with the Toledo Museum of Art’s exhibition\, Telling Stories: Resilience and Struggle in Contemporary Narrative Drawing\, on view from November 21\, 2020 - February 14\, 2021.\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.

Faced with the near impossibility of putting on a fully-staged production during a pandemic\, the Department of Musical Theatre has chosen to provide a new kind of ghostlight: an online-only revue of the best that the department has to offer.\n\nThis faculty-led\, student-driven production will feature songs\, skits\, and dances directed\, choreographed\, performed\, and in some cases written by students from across the Department Musical Theatre. From classics of musical theatre to pop\, folk\, and jazz\, this revue has it all.\n\nmore information at http://myumi.ch/XeoQB UID:79532-20353347@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79532 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Concert,Culture,Free,Music,Theater LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201130T150820 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201204T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201204T230000 SUMMARY:Well-being:UMix - Meet Someone NewMix DESCRIPTION:With a socially-distanced semester\, it can be hard meeting other students.
