Film Screening:CMENAS Virtual Viewing: *Stray*
2021-03-18 08:00 - 20:00 | Off Campus Location
For a limited time, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing. For instructions, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘Stray'”

About the film:
Through the eyes of three stray dogs wandering the streets of Istanbul, STRAY explores what it means to live as a being without status or security. As they search for food and shelter, Zeytin, Nazar and Kartal embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society that allow us an unvarnished portrait of human life — and their own canine culture.

Zeytin, fiercely independent, embarks on solitary adventures through the city at night; Nazar, nurturing and protective, easily befriends the humans around her; while Kartal, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site, finds refuge with the security guards who care for her. The disparate lives of Zeytin, Nazar and Kartal intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them.

Whether they lead us into bustling streets or decrepit ruins, the gaze of these strays act as windows into the overlooked corners of society: women in loveless marriages, protesters without arms, refugees without sanctuary. The film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.

Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only
2021-03-18 08:00 - 23:00
Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.

Yasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

For 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.
*Southwest Asian/North African

This project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Lecture / Discussion:Environmental Justice Seminar Series
2021-03-18 12:00 - 13:00 | Off Campus Location
Speaker: Esme G. Murdock

Esme G. Murdock received her Ph.D. in the Department of Philosophy at Michigan State University, and is an Assistant Professor of American Indian Studies at San Diego State University and a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at the Pennsylvania State University for the 2020-2021 Academic Year.

Her research interests include environmental justice, Indigenous and Afro-descended environmental ethics, settler colonial theory, and decolonization as land/resource rematriation. Murdock comes to this work as a descendant of enslaved Africans and settlers in North America. Her current work explores the devastating impacts of colonization and slavery on both Indigenous and Afro-descended peoples and environments on Turtle Island. She anchors her understanding of settler colonialism, in particular, in the experiences and theorization of Native and Black communities, especially toward securing decolonial futures. She often writes back to mainstream environmental discourse that attempts to “read out” colonization as the context of environmental degradation and destruction, particularly in the settler colonies of the United States and Canada. Her work centers conceptions of land and relating to land found within both Indigenous and African American/Afro-descended environmental philosophies. Murdock has work published in Environmental Values, Global Ethics, Hypatia, Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, and World Philosophies. Murdock’s first book manuscript is a land history of the South Carolina Sea Coast that engages in the diverse and often erased ecological histories, ecological heritages, ethnobotanical knowledges, and complex relations of Indigenous and Afro-descended peoples within the colonial complex of multiple European powers.

Livestream / Virtual:FAST Lecture | Engraving One’s Name in the Wadi Hammamat Quarries: From Spatial Dynamics to Visual Discourses
2021-03-18 12:00 - 13:30 | Off Campus Location
Located halfway between the Nile and the Red Sea, Wadi Hammamat is the modern name given to a section of this ancient Eastern Desert road where greywacke and siltstone quarries were exploited from the Predynastic period onward. In addition to a current project which aims to (re)edit the rich epigraphic material uncovered in situ, approximately 400 pre-Late Period inscriptions, this corpus has recently been re-explored in terms of writing practices. Through a multidimensional perspective, Vincent Morel will give some new insights into what these engravings “tell” beyond the strictly linguistic level. Focusing on the Old Kingdom material (3rd millennium BCE), he will make use of an original heuristic approach, associating material, visual, and (inter[icono])textual investigations, to better understand the intelligibility of the writing act itself, in a liminal place where the mere mortal could partake in the divine.

Please note, this lecture takes place at 12 p.m. Eastern.

Conference / Symposium:NeuroNetwork for Emerging Therapies Mini Symposium Series: Nutrition & Brain Health with The Henry Ford
2021-03-18 14:00 - 14:30 | Off Campus Location
"You are what you eat" is a common phrase that researchers and scientists are proving remarkably true. Unhealthy diets not only lead to obesity, but that obesity can even lead to cognitive decline, or a decreased ability to think.

The third installment of the NeuroNetwork for Emerging Therapies Mini Symposium Series will explore what unhealthy foods do to the nervous system, a historical look at the downhill trend of eating habits, and how everyone can find an optimal nutritional balance. These presentations will be followed by a question and answer session.

“Nutrition & Brain Health” is made possible by the generous support of Robert and Katherine Jacobs, who believe that informing people about healthy food options is critically important to the health of their community.

Eva Feldman, MD, PhD, Director of the NeuroNetwork for Emerging Therapies, will moderate the 30-minute mini symposium and discuss diet and brain health. Debra Reid, PhD, MA, Curator of Agriculture and the Environment at The Henry Ford, will discuss the history of the American diet and how urban residents obtained fresh fruits and vegetables from urban markets, such as the Central Farmers Market that is under reconstruction at Greenfield Village. Michigan Medicine Lead Dietitian Danielle Karsies, MS, RDN, will provide direction for how people can apply the information from Drs. Feldman and Reid to help them make better food choices.

Workshop / Seminar:SEMINAR: "Optimizing the First Response to Sepsis: An Electronic Health Record-based Markov Decision Process Model for Personalizing Acute Care for Deteriorating Patients" — Julie Simmons Ivy
2021-03-18 15:00 - 16:00 | Off Campus Location
The Departmental Seminar Series is open to all. U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.

Title:
Optimizing the First Response to Sepsis: An Electronic Health Record-based Markov Decision Process Model for Personalizing Acute Care for Deteriorating Patients

Abstract:
Sepsis is considered a medical emergency where delays in initial treatment are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Sepsis affects more than 1.7 million Americans each year, causing approximately 270,000 deaths annually. One in three hospitalized patient deaths are associated with sepsis. In 2019, the total cost of sepsis care for inpatient admission and skilled nursing facility admission was estimated at more than $62 billion. Sepsis is a significant healthcare challenge, where the lack of a gold standard for diagnosis causes inconsistencies in categorizing sepsis phenotypes and accurately capturing patients’ trajectories, which evolve stochastically over time. This makes treatment decision making and early intervention difficult. We integrate electronic health record (EHR) data with clinical expertise to develop a continuous-time Markov decision process model of the natural history of sepsis. We use this model to better understand the stochastic nature of patients’ health trajectories and determine the optimal treatment policy to minimize mortality and morbidity. Specifically, the optimal health states for first anti-infective and first fluid are identified. We formulate this as a stopping problem in which the patient leaves the system when he or she receives the first treatment (intervention) and receives a lump sum reward. Our objective is to find the optimal first intervention for health states to minimize expected mortality and morbidity. We explore the effect of the complex trade-offs associated with the intervention costs and patient disposition costs which are subjective and difficult to estimate. Our model captures the natural progression along sepsis trajectory using a clinically defined treatment delayed population. The model translates observations of patient health as defined by vitals and laboratory results recorded during hospitalization in the EHR to capture the complex evolution of sepsis within a patient population. This framework provides key insights into sepsis patients’ stochastic trajectories and informs clinical decision making associated with caring for these patients as their health dynamically evolves.

"Searching for Water Plumes on Europa"

ABSTRACT:
Jupiter’s moon, Europa, is one of the best places in our solar system to search for extraterrestrial life because it is believed to harbor a global ocean beneath its ice cover. In recent years, following the discovery of water jets spewing out of Saturn’s icy moon, Enceladus, numerous efforts have been undertaken to look for plume activity at Europa. Data that have been analyzed so far include telescopic observations covering a wide range of wavelengths as well as in situ data acquired by NASA’s Galileo spacecraft that conducted multiple close flybys of the moon during its mission. Signatures of putative water plumes have indeed been identified in Hubble Space Telescope images and a re-analysis of the Galileo magnetic field and plasma wave data suggests that the spacecraft passed through a plume during its closest encounter with Europa. In this presentation we will review current evidence of plumes on Europa and discuss various challenges encountered in the search for plume activity. We will also provide an outlook for future missions to the Jupiter system, such as the Europa Clipper and JUICE missions, that will offer new opportunities for probing plume activity at Europa.

Class / Instruction:Chair's Distinguished Lecture: Challenges Predicting the Lifetime of Hall Effect Thrusters
2021-03-18 16:00 - 17:15 | Off Campus Location
Mitchell L. R. Walker

High-Power Electric Propulsion Laboratory
Georgia Institute of Technology

Electric propulsion devices are rapidly replacing traditional chemical rockets on spacecraft. Electric propulsion devices possess a combination of high specific impulse and high thrust efficiency that drastically reduce the mass of propellant required to perform a specific mission. Satellite operators leverage these characteristics to reduce the mass, size, and launch cost of a spacecraft while maintaining its payload capability. The drawback of electric propulsion is that the thrust level is limited by the electrical power available on the spacecraft. Thus, the required operational life of electric propulsion devices is thousands of hours.

The Hall effect thruster (HET) is a type of electric propulsion routinely flown on spacecraft. Currently, HET development requires expensive, high-risk, ground-based qualification tests that exceed 7,000 hours to demonstrate the necessary on-orbit lifetime. To date, modeling efforts have been unable to predict the dominant failure mechanism observed in HET qualification tests. In particular, how quickly does the accelerated plasma erode the ceramic HET discharge channel?

This presentation discusses an AFOSR-sponsored effort to develop a fundamental understanding of how the HET discharge plasma erodes the ceramic discharge channel. This knowledge will facilitate our ability to predict HET lifetime and will influence the design of future high-power HETs.

Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Labor, Love, & Loss: Black Women's Networks of Care in the Transition from Slavery to Freedom
2021-03-18 16:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location
This talk explores themes from a new book project that considers Black women’s reproductive care work in the face of miscarriage, infant and child loss, elder care, and sickness. Although this is a book about loss, it is also a book about survival. Professor Simmons argues that during the transition from slavery to freedom, Black mothers mobilized intergenerational and intersubjective connections with other women in their community to manage sickness, take care of themselves and one another, and mourn loss.

LaKisha Simmons is associate professor in History and Women's and Gender Studies at the University of Michigan. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on gendered experiences of racial violence and Black women and girls’ strategies for survival in the face of racism. She is the author of Crescent City Girls: The Lives of Young Black Women in Segregated New Orleans and currently at work on a collection called The Global History of Black Girlhood co-edited with Corinne Field.

Free and open to the public. This is a remote event and will take place online via Zoom.

This event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

Workshop / Seminar:Vishwas Goel (Materials Science & Engineering) and Benjamin Yang (Biomedical Engineering)
2021-03-18 16:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location - Zoom
VISHWAS GOEL: Vishwas is a third year Ph.D. student in the Thornton group, Department of Materials Science and Engineering. His research involves the simulations of the continuum level or microstructure level electrochemical dynamics of energy conversion/storage devices such as batteries, fuel cells, etc.

"SIMULATION OF EIS IN SOFC CATHODES USING SMOOTHED BOUNDARY METHOD": Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is the most commonly used technique for the in-situ characterization of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). In this presentation, I will discuss about a method for simulating the impedance behavior of a mixed conducting SOFC cathode with an experimentally determined microstructure. I will also share the key insights that we generated through our work.

BENJAMIN YANG: Ben is a 4th year PhD student in Dr. Carlos Aguilar’s Lab. His research explores the molecular mechanisms that regulate cellular fate plasticity using microfluidics, cell-cell fusion, and single-cell sequencing techniques.

"DECONSTRUCTING METASTATIC REGULATORS USING INTERSPECIES HETEROKARYONS": Tumor metastasis, the spread of cancer cells to sites beyond the primary tumor, is the primary contributor to morbidity in cancer patients. While each step of the metastatic cascade is well characterized, the molecular mechanisms responsible for initiating the cascade remain unclear, inhibiting the efficacy of therapeutic modalities. We revisit a century-old hypothesis that changes in metastatic potential are conferred to tumor cells through fusion with neighboring stromal cells by fusing human breast cancer cells with brain-resident mouse microglia and astrocytes. Our main objectives are to assess how aberrant fusion between malignant cells and stromal cells overrides transcriptional safeguards against metastatic progression and to explore how fusion modifies the mechanical phenotype of tumor hybrids. Achieving these goals will advance our understanding of the biological significance of fusion events in metastasis and delineate markers that can serve as therapeutic targets.

Lecture / Discussion:Building Bridges in a Divided World : The role of Interfaith collaboration in justice work
2021-03-18 18:30 - 21:00 | Off Campus Location
Join the Jewish Communal Leadership Program (JCLP) for a panel discussion about the transformative potential of interfaith work.

In the wake of a year shaped by a global pandemic, protests for racial justice, extreme political polarization, and more, so many in and outside the Jewish community are facing personal crises and family tragedies. Through it all, we have seen communities respond to those in need by forming and expanding mutual aid networks, advocating for comprehensive safety protocols and transparency, highlighting inequalities, and finding ways to stay connected in the midst of so much physical isolation. Faith-based and interfaith organizations have been uniquely positioned to offer support in this time.
We are so excited to explore this subject with five distinguished interfaith professionals:

Aziza Hazan
Executive Director of NewGround: A Muslim Jewish Partnership for Change

Reverend Amanda Henderson
Director of the Institute of Religion, Politics & Culture at the Iliff School of Theology,
Former Executive Director of the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado

Pastor Aramis Hinds

She is joined by two artists who have made books at the Women's Studio, Toby Millman (Facts on the Ground) and Alison Rivett (Scientific Theories Once Widely Believed, Since Proven Wrong), who will share their bookmaking process from the artist's perspective, including concept development and how making one book is very different from making 50. You'll have an opportunity to ask questions! No registration required; join us with the Zoom link.

Over the past 50 years, volunteers at Chippewa Nature Center in Midland, Michigan, have conducted archaeological investigations to study the relationship of people to the land and environment over time. Scott Beld has conducted research with a dedicated group of volunteers (Oxbow Archaeologists) for the last 25 of these years. This talk will discuss several of the sites that have been investigated including Sias East (late Middle Woodland), Cater (nineteenth century), and Ponton (nineteenth century) as an introduction to our research.

Livestream / Virtual:Heung Coalition Event | Empire's Afterlives: Legacies of Militarization and Cultural Politics in Korea

In their article, “Transpacific Entanglements,” Yên Lê Espiritu, Lisa Lowe, and Lisa Yoneyama argue that “U. S. neoliberalism mediates itself through the U. S. national security state, which is simultaneously a racial and a settler state; this is expressed not merely in the racialization of the Asian and Pacific Islander peoples but significantly in the erasure of historical and ongoing settler colonialism and, furthermore, in a racial social order that simultaneously pronounces antiblackness and Islamophobia.” In the case of Korea, such processes are evident in the ongoing division of the peninsula, the presence of U. S. military bases, and the praise for South Korea’s ascendency in the global capitalist order - even as this ascent remains contingent upon exploitation in other countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia.

For this event, we bring together E. Tammy Kim and Eunsong Kim to discuss these “transpacific entanglements” with U. S. neoliberalism, militarization, and racism that South Korea’s own position reveals. What are the legacies of militarism in Korea and how do they impact the everyday lives of Koreans within and outside the peninsula? What does South Korea’s position as a sub-empire reveal about the ways in which ongoing legacies of the Cold War affect the narratives around Asia and Asia America? How do such narratives manifest in the cultural politics of South Korea? How can we form transnational spaces to counter the results and norms of U. S. militarism and work towards building solidarity outside the parameters inscribed by U. S. militarism? Please join us on Thursday, March 18, 2021 at 7pm PST for this important and timely conversation between E. Tammy Kim and Eunsong Kim.
