At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

It takes imagination and that’s not far from art.” - Ava DuVernay\n\nThe BHM committee\, MESA’s social connectivity and CCI hope to generate thought provoking discussion\, engagement around advocacy\, activism and allyship this semester by presenting a series of films huddled around these topics\, areas that we believe require critical and intentional reflection year round. Each film presentation will conclude with a discussion from students\, professionals\, and artists familiar with the themes presented throughout the series and in the film. Each film and discussion will be available virtually and will take place the third Tuesday each month at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are available through MUTO for each film.

Previous studies have found that social housing has an attenuating effect on the motivation to self-administer methamphetamine (METH) in female rats. Interestingly\, females tend to benefit from having a cage mate while male rats do not. In order to understand how social behavior could be attenuating METH-taking behavior\, the quality of the relationships between cage mates is being investigated to look at potential causes of this sex difference. Additionally\, we are looking at dopamine (DA) release changes in the nucleus accumbens during baseline and after METH injections using fast scan cyclic voltammetry to understand the underlying neurochemical mechanisms that are occurring with different social housing conditions.

This talk\, based on Professor Lindtner’s most recent publication \"Prototype Nation\" (Princeton University Press\, 2020)\, offers a rich transnational analysis of how the promise of democratized innovation and entrepreneurial life has shaped China’s governance and global image. With historical precision and ethnographic detail\, Professor Lindtner reveals how a growing distrust in Western models of progress and development\, including Silicon Valley and the tech industry after the financial crisis of 2007–08\, shaped the rise of the global maker movement and the vision of China as a “new frontier” of innovation.\n \n Silvia Lindtner is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan in the School of Information. She researches\, writes and teaches about DIY (do-it-yourself) maker culture\, with a particular focus on its intersections with manufacturing and industry development in China. Drawing on her background in interaction design and media studies\, she merges ethnographic methods with approaches in design and making. This allows her to provide deep insights into emerging cultures of technology production and use\, from a sociological and technological perspective.\n \n Together with Anna Greenspan (NYU SH) and David Li (XinCheJian)\, Silvia Lindtner is also the co-founder of the Research Initiative Hacked Matter. Hacked Matter. It has\, since its inception in 2011\, organized a series of workshops\, lectures\, public panel discussions as well as hands-on engagements with questions of DIY making\, manufacturing\, and innovation ecosystems.\n\nZoom webinar\; attendance requires registration: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wJ0Z2eYHQ6GWAu1oqDbkeA UID:80370-20711698@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80370 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Business,Chinese Studies,Information And Technology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210112T132313 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Visualizing Membrane Mechanics: From Nuclear Envelope Integrity to Photon Harvesting-Department of Biological Chemistry Seminar DESCRIPTION:Dr. Adam Frost\, UCSF\, will deliver a virtual seminar on Tuesday February 16th\, 2021 UID:80648-20769620@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80648 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,biolgical chemistry,biological,biological chemistry,biological science,biology,Biosciences LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210303T123109 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:A-LIGN Virtual Internship Program: A Closer Look DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in learning more about how A-LIGNs virtual internship program and how A-LIGNs internship program will develop you into an IT\, cybersecurity and audit professional?\n\nJoin us for this event to learn all about A-LIGNs virtual internship program starting Summer 2021!\n\nDuring this session we will discuss the following elements of the internship program:\n\n- Professional Development\n- Networking\n- Keys to Success\n- Qualifications\n- Internship Timeline and Deliverables\n- Characteristics of a Successful Intern\n- Intern Performance Evaluation\n- Schedule (Start Date\, End Date\, Hours)\n- Live Q&A\n\nDon't miss out on this opportunity to get your virtual internship questions answered by our Training and Development leaders and Talent Acquisition professionals.\n\nWe can't wait to meet you virtually - see you there!\n\nREGISTER HERE: https://a-lign.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bHOLI4MZTravCyvr9m8s6w UID:81599-20929553@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81599 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210211T154239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T143000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Digital Scholarship 101: Understanding Accessibility for Projects DESCRIPTION:You’ve heard about “accessibility\,” but do you know what it means for your project?

Re-Engaging with Abd al-Rahman Jami: An Intellectual History Project DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\; please register at https://myumi.ch/qg71e\n\n This talk is about re-engaging with a project about Jami (1414-1492) and his intellectual mission in Timurid Herat. The original project was completed almost a decade and a half ago in my dissertation. The aim of this talk is to think about how to develop a framework to re-engage with Jami’s intellectual mission. The earlier project had two major shortcomings as a study of intellectual history. First\, it did not pay attention to poetry sufficiently. Second\, it achieved little to contextualize Jami in the intellectual traditions he was connected with. I would like to reflect on the ways in which one can deal with and incorporate these three issues from an intellectual point of view.\n In both poetry and scholarly writings\, the challenge seems to be showing how i) Jami is connected to other people/thoughts/ways of expression — contemporaneous with Jami or earlier\; ii) the meaning of these connections\, and in general Jami’s poetry within the socio-political context of his time.\n In my historical contextualization\, the starting point will be identifying i) the general characteristics of individual Timurid rulers (e.g. the rationality of Sultan-Abu Said)\; or ii) periods within the reign of a particular ruler if he has reigned relatively long (e.g. experimentation and consolidation periods of Sultan-Husayn Bayqara). Along with an attempt at developing a framework to reevaluate Jami from an intellectual point of view\, another major aim of this talk is to ask for help/advice about possible strategies to do that.

After drafting a novel for her senior honors thesis\, Allison went on to pitch\, sell\, and publish that thesis as her debut novel: A Tip for the Hangman (Doubleday\, Feb. 2021). Hangman is a historical thriller that follows the life of the 16th-century poet Christopher Marlowe and his secret career in service of Queen Elizabeth I's spymaster. (Her agent refers to the novel as \"the Dirtbag Kit Marlowe book\,\" a tagline Allison endorses.)\n \nAllison will share the inspiration and historical context behind her novel\, along with a behind-the-scenes look into the world of literary publishing. From the ins and outs of historical research to the white whale of signing with a literary agent\, she'll explain the lesser-known aspects of how a book makes it to print. She'll also answer any questions you care to ask about Early Modern spies\, a subject she delights in.\n \n\nAllison Epstein is a historical fiction author based in Chicago. By day\, she works as a marketing copywriter for a firm serving higher education and not-for-profit institutions. She earned her B.A. in English and creative writing from the University of Michigan in 2014 and her MFA in fiction from Northwestern University in 2020. When not writing\, she enjoys good theater and terrible puns.

This technological tension has recently shaken the sport of running in the form of shoe advances\, but many other sports have experienced and managed these same strains\, including swimming\, cycling\, tennis\, speed skating\, and many more. This seminar will explore how technological developments within a sport\, and the associated performance advantages they afford\, impact that sport sociologically. This panel will bring perspectives related to product availability and athlete sponsorship ties\, cultural perception and understanding of performance\, and developmental implications across myriad levels of sport (e.g.\, youth\, Olympic\, masters). This discussion will aim to inform our understanding of what is to be gained\, what might be lost\, and what can be managed as sport evolves with technological developments.

Electrified aircraft propulsion is a novel technology that has the potential to significantly reduce\, and even fully eliminate fuel consumption and aircraft emissions while allowing for more affordable and quieter flights. Electrification enables diverse propulsion architectures and fundamentally changes the relationship between the propulsion system and the airframe\, creating a very rich and complex aircraft design space with many exciting opportunities. However\, it also poses significant challenges due to technological bottlenecks\, lack of historical data\, and high levels of uncertainty. Thus\, potential environmental benefits can be easily diminished by suboptimal propulsion solutions.\n\nIn this talk\, I will address the diverse design space and the importance of performing architectural and operational trade studies in the early aircraft design stages. I will present a methodology to perform the sizing\, integration\, and performance evaluation of electrified aircraft. I will explore advanced design methods and surrogate modeling techniques to enable rapid evaluation of hundreds of sized and optimized designs.

This webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered the joining information will be sent to your email.\n\nRegister at:\nhttps://myumi.ch/r895z\n\nCapacity in violence is generally understood to be key condition of the state-building process. As capacity is achieved and a state gains supremacy over would-be competitors\, the use of violence by the state is hypothesized to “wither-away\,” especially in states that have made it into the democratic camp. However\, my work demonstrates\, theoretically and empirically\, that conventional wisdom is inadequate\, and that rather than withering away\, political violence evolves according to the changing socio-political environment and varying tasks of the state.\n\nUsing principally cases stemming from South Korea\, a high capacity\, consolidated democracy as a lens for theory building and corroboration\, my publications (and co-authored book project) chronicle the evolution of political violence\, from the state`s mobilization of thugs to suppress opposition at the early stages of the state-building process\, through its collaboration with violence specialists for developmental projects\, to the manipulation of quasi-governmental organizations after democratization in the late 1980s. My research (and the topic of this discussion) looks at how political development\, i.e. democratization\, has produced new demands for—and constraints on—political violence and how post-authoritarian governments have responded.\n\nJonson N. Porteux received his PhD from the University of Michigan (Political Science) in 2013\, with a focus on comparative politics and international relations\, and a regional emphasis on East Asia. He publishes most extensively on the economic and political causes and consequences of violence and democratization. Most recently his work has been featured in Democratization and the Journal of East Asian Studies.

The 21-string kora (Senegambia)\, the conical-shaped drum djembe (Senegal )\, the talking drums atumpan (Ghana)\, and the hour-glass shaped dundun (Nigeria) and others garner particular appeal and interest among organologists.  The Stearns Collection contains specimens of each of these instruments.  \n\nThis lecture focuses on the musical instruments commonly used by ethnic groups in northern Liberia and Southern Sierra Leone\, namely\, the Mende\, Gola\, Dei\, and Vai.  The data used in this presentation draws on more than 40 years of research among the Vai people of Liberia\, highlighting the role of musical instruments in numerous cultural contexts\, including their vital importance in masquerade performance\, recreational dance\, and the enactment of rituals and ceremonies of two pan-ethnic secret societies: Poro (Ɓɛli) for men and Sande (Bundu) for women.\n\nWatch at http://myumi.ch/yK51W\n\nDuring each webinar\, attendees may submit written questions which may be discussed in the Q&A period following the presentation.
