For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘You Will Die at Twenty'”\n \n About the movie:\n NYTimes Critics Pick! Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82514-21114071@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,Film,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210226T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210226T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. 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.

The study's primary measure of inhibitory control\, the stop-signal task\, has a unique design feature that violates \"context independence\"\, an assumption critical to the measurement model used to index inhibitory ability on the task\, leading some experts to recently call for the task to be changed and caution against the use of previously-collected data. We developed a formal cognitive process model to explain the effects of this design feature on behavior\, and therefore allow the impact of the violation on estimates of inhibitory ability to be quantified and accounted for. Discussion topics will include advantages of using formal process models in cognitive neuroscience research\, the trade-off between model complexity and parameter estimation\, and necessary conditions for using cognitive models to measure individual differences in psychological processes.

This talk will describe the discovery that the RNA modification pseudouridine is installed co-transcriptionally to pre-mRNA at thousands of positions by multiple pseudouridine synthases\, revealing an endogenous function of pre-mRNA pseudouridylation in pre-mRNA processing. This function of pseudouridine synthases is important for our understanding of the many diseases associated with human pseudouridine synthase dysregulation. \n\n\nHost: JK Nandakumar UID:80070-20550969@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80070 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Science,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210126T145829 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210226T120500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210226T130000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:AIG (the American Institutions Group) DESCRIPTION:AIG is a group of graduate students and faculty who meet to discuss American institutions.

Open Access Publishing in Asian Studies DESCRIPTION:Open Access publishing means that ebooks can be read by anybody in the world with access to an internet connection. Because open access titles are openly-licensed and downloadable as well as free-to-read online\, they are now also available for integration into digital scholarship projects. As book publishing moves increasingly digital\, an International Institute collaboration with the U-M Press and with the Asia Library offers new opportunities for imaginative publishing that transcends disciplinary boundaries\, reaches readers outside as well as inside the academy\, and extends the understanding of Asian culture\, history\, and society around the world.\n \nOver the last 50 years\, the centers now housed in the University of Michigan International Institute have published over 300 ground-breaking books about East\, South\, and Southeast Asia. In 2018\, these centers collaborated with University of Michigan Press and the U-M Asia Library to successfully apply for a Humanities Open Book program grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, aimed at making important backlist books broadly available again. This funding has allowed a complete record of the centers’ publications to be compiled and for 100 selected titles to be brought back into print and made digitally-available open access. These are now all freely available on major online platforms including JSTOR\, Project MUSE\, OAPEN\, and as part of the University of Michigan Press Ebook Collection.\n \nThis event highlights the impact of the Michigan Asian Studies Open Access Books Collection so far\, and asks “where do we go from here?” While it is focused on the Michigan publications as a case study\, the panel aims to explore more broadly the opportunities for Open Access publishing in Asian studies more generally.\n\nRegister for the event at https://myumi.ch/r8w17\n \nProgram (All Times US Eastern)\n\n1:00–1:05 pm Moderator Welcome\nCharles Watkinson\, Director\, University of Michigan Press\n\n1:05–1:15 pm Introductory Remarks\nMary Gallagher\, Director\, International Institute\n \n1:15–1:30 pm “The Humanities Open Book Program: Its Goals and Impact”\nBrett Bobley\, Director\, Office of Digital Humanities\, National Endowment for the Humanities\n \n1:30–2:00 pm The Michigan Asian Studies Open Access Books Collection: Lessons Learned\nEditorial: Christopher Dreyer\, Acquiring Editor\, Asian Studies\, UMP\nTechnology/IP: Joe Muller\, Digital Publishing Coordinator\, Michigan Publishing\nImpact: Emma DiPasquale\, Engagement Manager\, Michigan Publishing\n \n2:10–3:00 pm Panel 1: Open Access and Digital Scholarship: Going Beyond the Book\nModerator: Youngju Ryu\, University of Michigan\nEmily Wilcox\, College of William and Mary\nJonathan Zwicker\, University of California\, Berkeley\nKaril Kucera\, St. Olaf College\nMarkus Nornes\, University of Michigan\n \n3:10–4:00 pm Panel 1: Extending Impact and Reach through Open Access: Toward Equity and Inclusion?\nModerator: Dawn Lawson\, University of Michigan\nAswin Punathambekar\, University of Virginia\nJohn Ciorciari\, University of Michigan\nLiangyu Fu\, University of Michigan\nLisa Trivedi\, Hamilton College\n \n4:10–4:30 pm “Where can we go from here?

Book Workshop with Professor Aileen Das DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\; please register at https://myumi.ch/51r2p\n\nIISS is pleased to announce our first book workshop of the semester with Prof. Aileen Das on her most recent book\, *Galen and the Arabic Reception of Plato’s Timaeus*. This fascinating monograph is the first full-length study of the Arabic reception of Plato’s *Timaeus*. It considers the role of Galen of Pergamum (129–c. 216 CE) in shaping medieval perceptions of the text as transgressing disciplinary norms. It argues that Galen appealed to the entangled cosmological scheme of the dialogue\, where different relations connect the body\, soul\, and cosmos\, to expand the boundaries of medicine in his pursuit of epistemic authority – the right to define and explain natural reality. Prof. Aileen Das situates Galen’s work on disciplinary boundaries in the context of medicine’s ancient rivalry with philosophy\, whose professionals were long seen as possessing superior knowledge of the cosmos vis-à-vis that of doctors. Her case studies show how Galen and four of the most important Christian\, Muslim\, and Jewish thinkers in the Arabic Middle Ages creatively interpreted key doctrines from the *Timaeus* to reimagine medicine and philosophy as well as their own intellectual identities.

DESCRIPTION:Please contact Beth Demkowski\, demkowsk@umich.edu for Zoom link.\n\nDave got his Ph.D. in Physics\, during which time he decided that there was a whole world of things to do outside of academia when he graduated. He and his wife\, who received a Ph.D. in Biochemistry\, loaded up the car and moved to Seattle\, where he found a job as a Project Manager at a small internet retailer called Amazon.com. How does this relate to a Physics degree? In Physics\, we are taught to think from first principles and break down problems to their fundamentals. This can be applied to just about anything -- logistics\, software development\, people leadership. Dave will talk about how he used his background in Physics to do all of these things. This will be a casual discussion where he will answer students’ questions. \n UID:82441-21100189@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82441 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210313T123044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210226T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210226T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Northwestern Mutual - 2021 Graduates Info Session DESCRIPTION:This event will be geared specifically for seniors graduating in 2021.

In a similar way\, today we are at the beginning of a new technological revolution: the Internet is entering the physical space – the traditional domain of architecture and design – becoming an “Internet of Things” or IoT. As such\, it is opening the door to a variety of applications that – in a similar way to what happened with the first wave of the Internet – can encompass many domains: from energy to mobility\, from production to citizen participation. The contribution from Prof. Carlo Ratti will address these issues from a critical point of view through projects by the Senseable City Laboratory\, a research initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, and the design office Carlo Ratti Associati.\n\nAn architect and engineer by training\, Professor Carlo Ratti teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)\, where he directs the Senseable City Lab\, and is a founding partner of the international design and innovation office Carlo Ratti Associati.

How much does policing rely on your university? Who does it police? Where does it police?*\n\nIf you don’t have answers to these questions\, you probably want them. We want them too. \n\nDo you think it’s important for students to know how to find answers to these questions? Do you think it’s important for communities to find answers to them when police have jurisdiction that goes beyond the university campus?\n\nThe Cops Off Campus research project is a way of collecting this data to instigate a larger public conversation about the relations between universities and policing. We are looking to help instructors\, students\, organizers\, and communities to ask questions about how much money and how many other resources universities devote to policing and what the effects are. We invite folks to participate in a project to collect data about university/police relationships with the goal of kicking cops off campuses and abolishing policing. We are excited to collaborate with members of the University of Michigan community toward these ends.

High-temperature metamorphism (> 850 ºC) is herein presented as a natural cause of bias in provenance studies based on U-Pb detrital zircon ages\, since zircons from rocks submitted to these extreme and often prolonged conditions frequently yield protracted\, apparently concordant\, geochronological records. Such spectrum can result from disturbance of the primary U-Pb zircon system\, likewise from (re)crystallization processes during multiple and/or prolonged metamorphic events. In this contribution available geochronological data on Archean\, Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic metamorphic rocks\, acquired by different techniques (SIMS and LA-ICP-MS) and showing distinct compositions\, are reassessed in order to demonstrate how these processes may result in age peaks and spectra of unclear geological meaning and exclusively formed by temperature-induced disturbance during high-grade metamorphism. As a consequence\, it may induce misinterpretations on U-Pb detrital zircon provenance analyses\, depending on the timing of the high-temperature metamorphism relative to the deposition of the studied strata. To evaluate the presence of high-temperature metamorphism-related bias in a given detrital zircon sample\, we suggest a workflow for data acquisition and interpretation\, combining a multi-proxy approach with: in situ U-Pb dating coupled with Hf analyses to retrieve the isotopic composition of the sources\, and the integration of a petrochronological investigation to typify fingerprints of the (ultra)high-temperature metamorphic event.

As a software engineer at Google\, she designed and built products used by tens of millions. At the Rhode Island School of Design and the MIT Media Lab\, she researched the simultaneously empowering and controlling aspects of technology with a focus on tangible and social interfaces. Since 2011\, Brueckner has taught Sci-Fi Prototyping\, a course combining science fiction\, extrapolative thinking\, building prototypes\, and technology ethics at MIT\, Harvard\, RISD\, Brown\, and the University of Michigan. Both the class itself as well as the students’ individual projects received international recognition and were featured by The Atlantic\, Smithsonian Magazine\, Wired\, NPR\, Scientific American\, Fast Company\, and many others. Creating new ways to apply science fiction to the design process\, Brueckner prototypes alternatives to the tech industry’s limited visions for how we live with technology. She makes both physical and digital artifacts combining software programming\, digital fabrication\, and electronics with traditional media. These projects challenge the norms of the tech community\, whose work has enormous impact on our day-to-day lives\, as well as translates the problems in ways that are understandable to the everyday user. She invites others to embody an attitude of “critical optimism” and to imagine what technological futures they might prefer for themselves. Brueckner is the founder and creative director of Tomorrownaut\, a creative studio focusing on speculative futures and sci-fi-inspired prototypes. Brueckner’s work has been featured by Artforum\, SIGGRAPH\, the Peabody Essex Museum\, Portugal’s National Museum of Contemporary Art\, Leonardo\, Eyeo\, ISEA\, TEDx\, the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art\, and more. She was an artist-in-residence at Autodesk Pier 9 and is now an artist-in-residence at Bell Labs Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.). She is currently an assistant professor at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan. Her ongoing objective is to combine her background in design and engineering with the perspective of an artist to inspire a more positive future.\n\nOur 2020-2021 Series is brought to you with the support of our streaming partners\, Detroit Public Television and PBS Books.\n\nHow to WatchAll events will be webcast on Fridays at 8pm (ET) at http://pennystampsevents.org and https://dptv.org/pennystamps.
