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.

Such a testing problem is related to transfer learning and causal inference. We develop a nonparametric procedure by combining recent advances in conformal prediction with some new ingredients such as a novel choice of conformity score and data-driven choices of weight and score functions. To our knowledge\, this is the first successful attempt of using conformal prediction for testing statistical hypotheses beyond exchangeability. Our method is suitable for modern machine learning scenarios where the data has high dimensionality and large sample sizes\, and can be effectively combined with existing classification algorithms to find good weight and score functions. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated in synthetic and real data examples.\n\nhttp://www.stat.cmu.edu/people/faculty/jingle/\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/94350208889\nThere will be a virtual reception to follow UID:80565-20740178@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80565 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210204T110649 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210219T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210219T110000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The Clements Bookworm: \"Framing Identity\" Online Exhibit DESCRIPTION:We live in a world that is influenced by visual imagery. A single photograph can incorporate our joy\, and accomplishments\, as well as our challenges and defeats. As the most photographed person of his time\, Frederick Douglass understood how to utilize photography as a tool for empowered self-representation. His lectures inspired others to participate in creating their own images that captured beauty and resilience within the Black Experience. This Bookworm talk explores photographic examples of Black empowerment from the \"Framing Identity\" online exhibit (clements.umich.edu/framing-identity) through a conversation with the Clements Library’s Joyce Bonk Fellow\, Samantha Hill\, and Graphics Curator Clayton Lewis. They will take a closer look at photography and literature in the Clements’ collections to explore how artists and intellectuals present themselves through the creative process.\n\n*The Clements Bookworm is a webinar series in which panelists discuss history topics. Recommended books\, articles\, and other resources are provided in each session. Inspired by the traditional Clements Library researcher tea time\, we invite you to pull up a chair at our [virtual] table. Live attendees are encouraged to post comments and questions\, respond to polls\, and add to our conversation and camaraderie.*\n\nThis episode was generously sponsored by an anonymous Clements Supporter.

After registration\, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to join the webinar.\n\nFor full details and schedule\, please visit: https://ii.umich.edu/armenian/news-events/all-events/workshops/february-2021--from-empire-to-nation-state--the-ottoman-armistic.html\n \n The First World War came to an end for the Ottoman Empire when the Armistice of Mudros was signed on October 30\, 1918. While the Ottoman government formed by the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) embarked upon a series of armed and political campaigns to save the Empire from collapse\, Ottoman minorities such as Armenians\, Greeks\, Assyrians\, and Arabs suffered from genocide and famine. It is well documented that the demographic engineering policies of CUP resulted in a significant decrease of Armenian\, Greek and Assyrian communities in Anatolia\, and a famine in Arab provinces of the empire killed thousands. Even though the wartime was equal to a “cataclysm” for Ottoman “minorities”\, the beginning of the Armistice years remarked a new start\, an opportunity for revival and rebirth. While the Armenian community leadership was organizing relief activities to save genocide survivors who were scattered throughout the Empire\, they envisioned the establishment of a “United Armenia” with the support of the Allied Powers. Anatolian Romioi (Orthodox Greeks)\, Arabs\, and Kurds\, in a similar fashion\, were motivated to declare independence to map their nation-states during a time when the world was living what has been referred to as the “Wilsonian moment.” This workshop will revisit and re-explore the Ottoman Armistice and the transition from empire to ethno-nation-state from hitherto neglected perspectives of Ottoman “minorities” through the lens of history\, literature\, and political science disciplines.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Through four historic African American cemeteries\, this study explores cultural production among African Americans in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Shortly after emancipation\, Jacksonville (a historically Black town)\, gave birth to a vibrant African American aristocracy comprised of businesspeople and other professionals. In the early half of the twentieth century\, Jacksonville’s Black elite provided their community with legal protection\, healthcare\, vocational training\, employment opportunities\, and critical services such as life insurance and burial. Pinehurst\, Mount Olive\, Sunset Memorial\, and Memorial cemeteries were some of the few burial places for Black people living in Jacksonville during the early 1900s. Today\, the local government regards these cemeteries as ‘abandoned and neglected’ spaces. However\, the sites’ material culture and interviews with contemporary African American residents suggests that these burial grounds are important heritage sites for Jacksonville’s African American community. This study finds that commemorative practices are ongoing among twenty-first century African Americans. Additionally\, evidence suggests that the condition of these cemeteries reflects the social\, political\, and economic changes endured by Jacksonville’s African American community.\n\nNEW Webinar link https://umich.zoom.us/j/92431882124?pwd=Vnl4dkRQdThTSW16VnkxYUZ3YkwzQT09\nNEW Passcode 009801 UID:81755-20951376@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81755 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Archaeology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210210T144426 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210219T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210219T130000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Book Talk | Halfway Home: Race\, Punishment\, and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration DESCRIPTION:Each year\, nearly 600\,000 Americans are released from prison and join a population of 20 million people who live with a felony record.\n\nIncarcerated people in the U.S. are met by more than 48\,000 laws\, policies and administrative sanctions upon release\, a supervised society that Reuben Jonathan Miller calls “carceral citizenship.” \n\nJoin Professor Miller as he examines the afterlife of mass incarceration\, attending to how U.S. criminal justice policy has changed the social life and altered the contours of American Democracy one family at a time\, most often impacting poor Black families.

Empires of Vice: The Rise of Opium Prohibition Across Southeast Asia DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\; please register at http://bit.ly/3raW5lZ\n\nDuring the late nineteenth century\, opium was integral to European colonial rule in Southeast Asia. The taxation of opium was a major source of revenue for British and French colonizers\, who also derived moral authority from imposing a tax on a peculiar vice of their non-European subjects. Yet between the 1890s and the 1940s\, colonial states began to ban opium\, upsetting the very foundations of overseas rule—how did this happen? This talk explores the history of this dramatic reversal and colonial legacies that set the stage for the region’s drug problems today.\n \n Diana Kim challenges the conventional wisdom about opium prohibition—that it came about because doctors awoke to the dangers of drug addiction or that it was a response to moral crusaders—uncovering a more complex story deep within the colonial bureaucracy. Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence across Southeast Asia and Europe\, she shows how prohibition as made possible through the pivotal contributions of seemingly weak bureaucratic officials. Comparing British and French experiences across today’s Burma\, Cambodia\, Laos\, Malaysia\, Singapore\, and Vietnam\, Kim explains how the everyday work of local administrators delegitimized the taxing of opium\, which in turn made major anti-opium reforms possible. This talk is based on her book\, *Empires of Vice *(Princeton University Press)\, which reveals more generally the inner life of colonial bureaucracy\, illuminating how European rulers reconfigured their opium-entangled foundations of governance and durably shaped Southeast Asia’s political economy of illicit drugs.\n \n Diana Kim is Assistant Professor in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and a core faculty member of the Asian Studies Program. Her scholarship is animated by concerns with how modern states develop capacity to define people at the edges of respectable society\, constructing what it means to be illicit\, marginal\, and deviant. She received her Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Chicago and formerly held a Postdoctoral Prize Fellowship in Economics\, History\, and Politics at Harvard University and CAORC fellowship with the Center for Khmer Studies. She teaches comparative politics and transnational histories of colonialism and empire in Southeast and East Asia\; and her first book\, *Empires of Vice: The Rise of Opium Prohibition Across Southeast Asia* was published in 2020 by Princeton University Press.\n \n------\nThe following text will be included on all II events unless you indicate otherwise:If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

The crustal slabs\, made of the dense eclogite metamorphosed from the Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt\, provide one of the most important driving forces for slab subduction. The basaltic slab crust are also one of the major geochemical heterogeneities in the Earth’s interior. Locating these heterogeneities by comparing the experimentally determined seismic properties of eclogite with ambient mantle helps us to understand the Earth’s chemical evolution over geological time. I will present some of our recent experimental results on eclogite to reveal its seismic visibility in the Earth’s upper mantle. In addition\, compared with the extremely active Earth\, current-day Mars lacks ongoing tectonic activities such as volcanism\, marsquakes with large magnitude (e.g. M>4.0) and mountain building process. We hypothesize that the mantle convection inside Mars can be hindered if the density contrast between Martian crustal slabs and the ambient Martian mantle is sufficiently different from Earth. I will present high pressure-temperature phase equilibrium experiments and calculations of an eclogite metamorphosed from a near-primitive Martian basalt. Our results indicate the crustal slab is less dense than the ambient Martian mantle down to the depth of ~630 km. Sustained subduction on Mars is difficult if the Martian crust is represented by the shergottic basalt. Our result may also help explain the stability of some high volcano edifices (e.g. the Olympus Mons) on Mars.

Trautmann Honorary Lecture | Time\, Memory\, Oblivion: Social Frames and the Production of Collective Pasts DESCRIPTION:Autobiographical memories make individuals who they are but they are anchored in the frame of collective memory. These together that make us who we are. How then are these are made? And how do those processes bear on academic history?\n \nI will argue that collective memory world-wide has been made by how communities recollect pasts in order to shape their presents. The shaping of collective and historical memory must be seen in world-historical context. Analysis reaches out beyond the cloistered world of the formal academy to argue that “history” is but one kind of collective memory .\n\nCollective memory itself is the result of both remembering and forgetting\, of the preservation and the decay of record. These processes work through socio-political organizations that shape collective memory. The two disappear alongside each other.\n\nI will sketch the diverse ways these practices worked before colonial rule came to South Asia. I emphasize that the feebleness of organized power made it possible for many contradictory memories to coexist. The creation of a centralized educational system and the mass production of textbooks began to unify historical discourses under colonial auspices. For the first time\, students and their families were confronted by an authoritative\, unified narrative. That triggered opposition and the development of alternative anti-colonial histories. Finally\, these discourses diverged in the twentieth century under the impact of nationalism and decolonization.\n \nI will gesture therefore toward sources in many languages from different regions to provide an intellectual history of the ways in which socially recognized collective and historical memory has been made across the subcontinent. Most of the lecture will focus on the less studied period before Western imperialism and the imposition of Western modes of thought. I hope thereby to contribute to contemporary debates about historical memory and objective evidence in seemingly ‘post-truth’ world.\n\nSumit Guha\, Frances Higginbotham Nalle Professor in History at the University of Texas at Austin.\n\nBefore his current position\, Sumit Guha has taught at the St. Stephen’s College\, Delhi\, the Indian Institute of Management Kolkata\, Brown University and Rutgers University. He began as an economic historian with interests in demography and agriculture. These widened into the study of environmental and ethnic histories. His first book was *The Agrarian Economy of the Bombay Deccan 1818-1941* (Oxford University Press\, 1985) followed by *Environment and Ethnicity in India\, c. 1200-1991* (Cambridge University Press\, 1999) and *Health and Population in South Asia from earliest times to the present* (Permanent Black\, and Charles Hurst & Co.\, 2001). This was followed by *Beyond Caste: Identity and Power in South Asia\, Past and Present* (E.J. Brill\, 2013). A corrected Indian edition appeared from Permanent Black\, Ranikhet\, 2016.\n\nHis recent book *History and Collective Memory in South Asia\, 1200–2000* was published by the University of Washington Press in October 2019. In Spring 2021\, the Association for Asian Studies will publish his newest work\, *Tribe and State in Asia* through Columbia University Press. \n\nRegistration for this Zoom lecture is required: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIlcuCgqjgvG9Mij4KP5nymLs_cXh4sL5NW\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at csas@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

The optimistic narrative of transition first became impatient with the slowness and hesitancy of the process\, then suffered from the uncertainty of the moving or even vanishing target\, and was finally abandoned by scholars as it became clear that the post-Soviet nation-states were taking shape in some yet unprecedented forms that required unbiased analysis. \n \nThe place of optimistic teleologies has been taken by hindsight-driven narratives portraying the collapse of the Soviet Union as a traumatogenic event and the culture of the succeeding period as trapped in the state of the ‘post-’. In this paper I will take post-socialist theories of cultural trauma as my starting point and test them against a number of case studies\, both musical and more broadly cultural. I will then consider the double-edged nature of the “post-traumatic” narrative which can be utilised by both the supporters and opponents of the current political order in Russia\, and the difficulties this creates for Western observers. \n\n\nMarina Frolova-Walker FBA is Professor of Music History at the Faculty of Music\, University of Cambridge\, Fellow of Clare College\, Cambridge\, and currently Professor of Music at Gresham College\, London. She is the author of Russian Music and Nationalism from Glinka to Stalin (Yale\, 2007)\, Stalin's Music Prize: Soviet Culture and Politics (Yale\, 2016)\, and co-author (with Jonathan Walker) of Music and Soviet Power\, 1917–32 (Boydell\, 2012).  In 2015 she was awarded the Edward J. Dent Medal by the Royal Musical Association for ‘outstanding contribution to musicology’.\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
