SUMMARY:Film Screening:Korean Cinema NOW | Beasts Clawing at Straws/ 지푸라기라도 잡고 싶은 짐승들
DESCRIPTION:Access the film through the Michigan Theater here (customer pre-registration required): https://www.michtheater.org/2021-korean-cinema-now/\n\n2020 | 108 Minutes | Kim Yong-Hoon\n\nFree | Open to the public | In Korean with English subtitles\n\n“Fishy metaphors abound in Kim Yong-hoon's smart port-city neo-noir “Beasts Clawing at Straws (Jipuragirado Jabgo Sipeun Jimseungdeul)”\, which looks set to hook audiences in its native Korea following a high-profile bow in the main competition at Rotterdam. It should also find welcoming berths overseas at festivals receptive to audience-friendly genre fare\, and the adaptation of Sone Keisuke's Japanese novel has considerable English-language remake appeal at a time when Korean cinema has never enjoyed such global attention.” –Neil Young\, The Hollywood Reporter\nKorean Cinema NOW 2021 will be presented through a virtual format. Attendees should visit the Michigan Theater website to register for the film on the screening dates. Once registered with a customer account\, attendees will receive a confirmation with a link to view the film. This video link will only be available for 72 hours from the time you press play.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Virtual Viewing: *Stray*
DESCRIPTION: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'”\n   \nAbout the film:\nThrough 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.\n   \nZeytin\, 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.\n   \nWhether 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.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre

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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory: A Theory of Simplicity in Games and Mechanism Design
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: We introduce a general class of simplicity standards that vary the foresight abilities required of agents in extensive-form games. Rather than planning for the entire future of a game\, agents are presumed to be able to plan only for those histories they view as simple from their current perspective. Agents may update their so-called strategic plan as the game progresses\, and\, at any point\, for the called-for action to be simply dominant\, it must lead to unambiguously better outcomes\, no matter what occurs at non-simple histories. We use our approach to simplicity to provide characterizations of simple mechanisms in general social choice environments both with and without trans- fers\, including canonical mechanisms such as ascending auctions\, posted prices\, and serial dictatorship-style mechanisms. As a final application\, we explain the widespread popularity of the well-known Random Priority mechanism by characterizing it as the unique mechanism that is efficient\, fair\, and simple to play.\n\nTo join the seminar\, please contact at econ.theory-requests@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Microeconomics | Industrial Organization: Who Benefits from Surge Pricing?
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn the last decade\, new technologies have led to a boom in real-time pricing. I analyze the most salient example\, surge pricing in ride hailing. Using data from Uber\, I develop an empirical model of spatial equilibrium to measure the welfare effects of surge pricing. The model is composed of demand\, supply\, and a matching technology. It allows for temporal and spatial heterogeneity as well as randomness in supply and demand. I find that\, relative to a counterfactual with uniform pricing\, surge pricing increases total welfare by 1.59% of gross revenue. Welfare effects differ substantially across sides of the market: rider surplus increases by 5.25% of gross revenue\, whereas driver surplus and plat- form profits decrease by 1.81% and 1.77% of gross revenue\, respectively. Riders at all income levels benefit\, while disparities in driver surplus are magnified.\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Craft Lecture: The Art of Association
DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): https://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters\n\nUsing the assemblages of Joseph Cornell as visual analogs\, this talk/generative workshop will consider the ways in which sample poems seemingly shift from subject to subject while still maintaining a sense of coherence.\n\nKathleen Graber’s poetry collection\, *The River Twice* (Princeton University Press\, 2019)\, is an elegiac meditation on impermanence and change. She presents a fluid world in which so much―including space and time\, the subterranean realm of dreams\, and language itself―seems protean.\n\nGraber is also the author of two previous books of poetry\, *Correspondence* and *The Eternal City*\, which was a finalist for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. She is the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, and the Guggenheim Foundation. She is an associate professor of English at Virginia Commonwealth University.\n\n\nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (BA ’64\, LLDHon ’13). For more information\, please visit the Zell Visiting Writers Program webpage: https://lsa.umich.edu/writers\n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email asbates@umich.edu-- we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you. Copies of the readings and live\, high quality auto-captions/transcriptions will be provided at all events.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Zachary Lipton\, Assistant Professor\, Departments of Machine Learning and Tepper school of Business\, Carnegie Mellon University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk I will discuss distribution shift\, both as an obstacle to be overcome to achieve generalization to a target distribution and as a device for establishing a guarantee that we have in fact generalized to a distribution of interest. In the first part\, I will discuss the problem of label shift\, where the proportion among the labels can shift but the class conditional distributions do not change\, including connections to some practical problems and some theoretical results. Then I will discuss a new work in which we alter the distribution of training data in order to establish a generalization guarantee.\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/94350208889. There will be a virtual reception to follow.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:\"RNA boogie: Structural Dynamics by NMR\"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: Many functions of RNA depend on rearrangements in secondary structure that are triggered by external factors\, such as protein or small molecule binding. These transitions can feature on one hand localized structural changes in base-pairs or can be presented by a change in chemical identity of e.g. a nucleo-base tautomer. We use and develop R1ρ-relaxation-dispersion NMR methods for characterizing transient structures of RNA that exist in low abundance (populations <10%) and that are sampled on timescales spanning three orders of magnitude (µs to s). \nThe characterization of three different types of transient structures is going to be presented. 1) The HIV-1 dimerization initiation site (DIS) undergoes large secondary structure rearrangements that provide the basis for a molecular zipper\, which can be crucial for genome packaging (Nature 2012). 2) The GU wobble base-pair undergoes a change from standard wobble GU geometry to appear like a Watson-Crick base-pair stabilized by Keto-Enol tautomerization (Nature 2015). 3) a microRNA – mRNA complex changes conformation to activate the RISC complex (Nature 2020). I will furthermore give an outlook on recent efforts to measure in-cell NMR of nucleic acids in functional complexes. www.petzoldlab.com

SUMMARY:Presentation:Methods Hour:  Zoom Lab: Implications and questions to consider when moving research online
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe COVID-19 pandemic prompted many researchers to quickly move lab operations online. For many\, this was a first foray into working with participants remotely. Throughout the past year\, there have been articles\, webinars\, conference sessions\, and informal discussions centered on issues related to online research\, including how to streamline recruitment and data collection practices to mirror those used in lab settings. This presentation will provide an overview of helpful resources demonstrating best practices for online behavioral research (particularly with children) and highlight ways online studies can complement those conducted in more traditional lab settings. Discussion topics will include: 1) the trades offs made when moving research online\, 2) the extent to which online research can support multi-site recruitment and reproducible science efforts\, and 3) opportunities to evaluate the limits of what we can and cannot do via online (synchronous and asynchronous) research.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Molecular Genetics in the Orchard
DESCRIPTION:Fruit trees in commercial orchards are increasingly planted in high densities to maximize quality\, enable mechanization\, conserve resources\, and increase profitability. A hundred years ago a traditional apple orchard may have had one to two hundred free standing trees per acre\, while now planting over a thousand tree per acre trained to elaborate trellis systems is common practice. To maintain such high-density plantings\, a significant amount of labor is needed along with growth regulator treatments and\, in some cases\, specialized dwarfing rootstocks.  Still\, not all fruit trees are easily amenable to growing in these systems. One of the focuses of my research program is to determine what controls fruit tree shoot architecture at the molecular and genetic level. The ultimate goal of this project is to identify methods that will reduce the labor required to manage high-density 2-dimensional plantings. In the process\, we are generating fundamental knowledge about how plants grow the way they do\, particularly in connection to the regulation of branch\, or lateral shoot\, angle. The main genes we are studying are TILLAR ANGLE CONTROL 1 (TAC1)\, LAZY1\, and WEEP\, which are present in vascular plants. TAC1 promotes the formation of wide branch angles\, while the related gene LAZY1 promotes narrow branch angles. WEEP on the other hand regulates branch tip orientations. Peach trees with a non-functional WEEP allele exhibit a weeping branch phenotype. Genetic studies have linked the roles of these three genes together\, and molecular and physiological studies suggest they have roles in regulating shoot growth in response to light and gravity. For this talk\, I will present current and developing knowledge about their molecular mechanisms in connection to the regulation of lateral shoot orientations in plants. \n\nHost: Cora MacAlister

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Scratch the Surface:  The Analysis of Prehistoric Pottery Found in the Shkodër Region\, North Albania
DESCRIPTION:Culture history remains the principal paradigm of archaeological thought in northern Albania and its adjacent areas. Within such a framework\, particularly given the absence of written records and radiocarbon dating\, the diagnostic features of the late prehistoric pottery in this territory become a tool for building blocks of relative chronology. In this way\, such artifacts are valued primarily as markers for a given settlement’s strata and possible cultural links with other areas. However\, various anthropological studies show that pottery represents a multifaceted component of daily social practices. With this in mind\, the present study endeavors to challenge the dominant regional paradigm and to do so it adopts a methodology that goes beneath the surface of late prehistoric pottery. Petrography and paradigmatic classification have been used to examine the pottery excavated from three settlements and two tumuli in the Shkodër region to answer questions related to provenance\, production organization\, and possible exchange patterns.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Centering People and DEI in Engineering Research
DESCRIPTION:Diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) are essential for a modern workforce and indicators of the development and sustainability of an industry. Construction is yet to be considered a fully diverse\, equitable\, and inclusive industry sector (Sang and Powell 2012) due to pervasive structural prejudices and unconscious biases. The construction workforce is dominated by men\; in the US\, women make up only 1/10 of the overall construction workforce (CPWR 2018) even though 50.8% of the US population are females and 21.9% of civil engineering bachelor’s degrees in the US were earned by females over the last two decades (Hickey and Cui 2020). These statistics demonstrate the lack of gender equality within the construction industry (Navarro-Astor et al. 2017).\n\nFurthermore\, challenges related to masculinity\, ethnicity\, disability\, sexual orientation\, language\, age\, and other stereotypes have negatively impacted the experience of underrepresented groups working within the construction industry. With the high turnover rate and increased labor shortage across different work classifications\, construction organizations must overcome the aforementioned challenges and to achieve and sustain a safe\, productive\, and inclusive work environment. Inclusion is essential at work and results in everyone having the opportunity to fully apply themselves\, contribute to the success of the company\, and be valued for their specific skills\, experience\, and vision.\n\nDuring the presentation\, Dr. Simmons will discuss her funded interdisciplinary construction engineering and management research which centers people across three themes:  DEI\, interactions between humans and technology\, and competency development via education and training.  She will also describe her motivation for this work from her perspective as an African-American woman with decades of experience in the construction industry.\n\nDenise R. Simmons\, Ph.D.\, PE\, PMP\, LEED-AP is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering at the University of Florida. She has over ten years of construction and civil engineering experience working for energy companies and as a project management consultant\; nearly 15 years of experience in academia\; and extensive experience leading and conducting multi-institutional\, workforce-related research and outreach. She is a leader in research investigating professional formation of civil engineers\, with an increasing focus on project managers and the practical strategies that transform and sustain inclusive and productive organizations. While overseeing the Simmons Research Lab\, her current research focuses on three areas: diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI)\; interactions between humans and technology\; and competency development via education and training.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Early Career Scientists Symposium: Natural History Collections: Drivers of Innovation
DESCRIPTION:A virtual symposium held on five consecutive Fridays beginning March 5\, 2021.\n\nREGISTRATION required for Zoom entry. Registrants will receive the Zoom link and passcode via email. See links this page to register and for more information.\n\nSession IV (Moderator: Teresa Pegan)\n\n1 pm	Eric LoPresti\n\n1:30 pm	Laurel Yohe\n\n2 pm	Panel discussion: Eric LoPresti and Laurel Yohe\n\nEric LoPresti\, Postdoctoral Researcher\, Michigan State University\n\nTalk title: Plants and the materials that stick to them: an ecological and evolutionary investigation\n\nAbstract\nA pressed plant specimen in an herbarium has long been the source of morphological\, chemical\, genetic and other sorts of data on the plant. However\, that physical specimen\nalso includes incidental collections of other material which can inform conclusions about the plant’s ecology and interactions. My research uses collections of sticky plants to study plant interactions by examining material that sticks to the plant during its lifetime\; I have found sand\, dead bugs\, bird feathers and ash on the surfaces of plant specimens. My recent work has demonstrated that certain substances–biological or not–stuck to plants mediate both simple and complex interactions with both arthropods and mammals\, resulting in major fitness implications for the plant. However\, the ubiquity of these interactions is unknown. My research links the ecological functioning of sticky plant interactions with the breadth and evolutionary history of stickiness. I will detail ecological interactions of stickiness\, broad patterns of stickiness across the plant phylogeny\, as well as in more detail across a single clade of plants endemic to western North America.\n\nLaurel Yohe\nNSF Postdoctoral Fellow\, Department of Geology and Geophysics\, Yale University\n\nTalk title: Morphological and developmental basis of olfactory evolution: evidence from museum-collected iodine-stained bat specimens and embryos\n\nAbstract\nThe sense of smell is essential for finding food in animals\, but whether olfaction has evolved in relation to diet is not understood. Animals that more heavily rely on smell should have increased olfactory tissue than those that rely on other senses\, yet this assumption is rarely tested. I investigated whether smell was associated with diet in a group of neotropical leaf-nosed bats known for their dietary diversity. Using iodine-stained museum specimens of both adult and embryo bats\, I quantified the olfactory epithelium of nasal turbinate bones in species with divergent diets. Embryo specimens were obtained from museum-deposited adult females unknown to be pregnant during accession\, providing a wealth of new specimens unbeknownst to science. I tested whether plant-visiting have more well-developed olfactory epithelium compared to animal-feeding bats. I discovered: [1] two of the five turbinate bones have increased epithelium in plant-visiting bats\; and [2] development of turbinates remains simple earlier in ontogeny\, but the two bones with increased epithelium develop at very late stages in plant-visiting bats. This discovery suggests olfactory adaptation in plant-visiting bats\, and the accompanying morphology occurs at late developmental stages\, supporting the notion that natural selection acts upon phenotypes appearing later in ontogeny.\n\nRead more\, including about the speakers and their talks\, on the ECSS website: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/ecss/ \n\nREGISTER: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/ecss/home/register/\n\nIllustration: John Megahan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IISS Lecture Series. The Qur'an in the Roman Empire: a New Approach to its Meaning
DESCRIPTION:-\n\n\nThe Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar is pleased to announce a lecture \"The Qur'an in the Roman Empire: a New Approach to its Meaning\" by Professor Juan Cole on March 26\, 1:00-2:30 pm.\n\n   \nThis talk will review the author's findings about the meaning of Qur'anic vocabulary and the context of Qur'anic theology and law in the seventh-century Eastern Roman Empire. It will be argued that Greek was still an urban standard in the Near East in the early seventh century\, that many Arabic technical terms are calques on Greek conceptions\, and that late Roman law had an impact on Qur'anic law. At the same time\, it is argued that the Qur'an is a much more tolerant and pluralist book than was typical of late Roman values.\n\n\nZoom registration: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUlce2urTwvEtR1oQLFA6ioBJ_BQsfTlLzx

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Big Business and Political Power:  The Benefits of Fragmentation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nIt is broadly accepted among political scientists\, political sociologists\, and social movement theorists that a unified group will have a higher probability of success than a group that experiences internal divisions or fragmentation.  Similarly\, it has been assumed that in a society with a relatively unified elite\, the elite will experience disproportionately high benefits relative to the larger population.  I take issue with this claim.  In the mid-twentieth century\, large American corporations exhibited a relatively high level of unity but the relative economic benefits accruing to the elite were at historic lows.  In more recent years\, American big business has become increasingly fragmented\, yet the economic benefits that these elites have received have reached historic highs\, and the average American’s standard of living has stagnated.  Drawing on Padgett and Ansell\, I introduce the concept of inadvertent robust action to explain how a relatively fragmented\, disorganized elite can reap benefits that exceed those that its more unified counterparts experienced in an earlier era.

SUMMARY:Presentation:CCN Forum:  Motivated movement planning
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nHuman movement is sensitive to motivational factors such as\nthe benefits of success and the costs of failure. However\, the neural\,\npsychological\, and computational mechanisms that connect prospective value with subsequent performance remain poorly understood. In this talk\, I will discuss three studies investigating the role of advanced planning in incentive-motivated action. In the first study\, we examine whether reward sharpens cortical representations of action during movement preparation. In the second study\, we investigate the possible optimal and sub-optimal strategies that guide people’s visuomotor decisions under risk. And in the third study\, we look at the impact of reward on the competition between habitual and goal-directed action.  Results across these studies indicate that reward reduces noise in the preparation of goal-directed actions and that this may be a key mechanism underlying incentive-motivated performance.

SUMMARY:Well-being:Healing Justice: Rediscovering Spirit
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Healing Justice: Holistic Self-Care During Challenging Times series\, this Rediscovering Spirit session aims to increase awareness of interdependence of the self\, relationships\, work and the world. Spiritual practice can contribute to healing justice in the following ways: 1) Help to cultivate balance and alleviate stress in one’s life\; 2) Learn how to de-identify with things that no longer serve us\; 3) Increase connection and 4) Increase personal and collective empowerment such that one can more effectively work with\, and on behalf of others to alleviate suffering and end oppression.\n\nU-M Counseling and Psychological Services will offer two workshops (“Healing Justice in the Fabric of Community” and “Healing Justice: Rediscovering Spirit” ) focused on components of Loretta Pyles’ (2018) Healing Justice: Self-Care for Change Makers. To be true to healing justice\, it’s vital to highlight its origins. The movement was originally created by queer folx\, BIPOC\, women and those with disabilities starting from the 60s with a resurgence in the late 2000s. U-M participants will learn ways of healing “a sense of brokenness or disconnection that may be a result of trauma\, oppressive socio-cultural narratives and practices or the ways in which humans may lose touch with each other and themselves.”\n\nAll students (undergraduate\, graduate and professional) are invited to attend this powerful session!\n\nRegister on Sessions: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/40778

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Art and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:ere.\n \nJoin us for a faculty panel featuring Curriculum/Collection instructors Matias del Campo (Architecture 509 Space\, Time\, and Artificial Intelligence)\, Ivo Dinov (Health Sciences 650 Data Science and Predictive Analytics)\, and Maegan Fairchild (Philosophy 298 Metaphysics: Art and Ontology) as we discuss issues of art\, authorship\, and creation\, as machine learning\, or “artificial intelligence\,” processes are increasingly applied to the art world. If an algorithm produces a composite portrait based on the work of thousands of artists\, who is the “artist”? And how is this challenging our traditional understandings of creation?

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Interdisciplinary Workshop American Politics (IWAP)
DESCRIPTION:PhD student in the Department of Political Science at the University of Michigan Shayla Olson will present her co-authored book chapter\, \"Political Content in Sermons and Changes in the Trump Era.\" Her research fits broadly within American political behavior\, with a specific interest in the interaction between race and religion.\n\nThe Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics (IWAP) is a forum for the presentation of ongoing interdisciplinary research in American politics. Most of our presentations are given by graduate students. Each graduate student presenter is assigned a faculty and student discussant. IWAP circulates the work beforehand and the student presents it briefly at the start of the meeting. After discussant feedback\, the bulk of the time is reserved for group discussion among all workshop participants. This format leads to informal yet highly interactive and productive conversations.\n\nEmail zcwalker@umich.edu/ for meeting link.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Women and Activism: Centering Women's Leadership in Social Movements
DESCRIPTION:Women have led every major social movement in United States history.  And yet women's voices are largely absent from the stories of bold activism and social change that each generation passes on to the next.   Women in Student Movements will provide women activists with the opportunity to write our own histories\, and map out our futures as well.  Join us as a diverse panel of women\, both current students and alumna\, describe their experiences as student leaders and discuss how women across social groups can work together for change.  Dr. Quenette Walton ('99) will moderate the panel\, and a recording of the panel will be donated to the Joseph A.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Insights into Rhyolite Production at a Frequently Active Silicic Center as Revealed by Quartz δ18O Ratios
DESCRIPTION:Zoom ID# 96255483493\n\nLocated in the Taupo Volcanic Zone of North Island\, New Zealand\, the Okataina Volcanic Centre (OVC) is a frequently active\, largely rhyolitic magmatic system that is situated in a coupled subduction-extension setting. Rhyolite production at the OVC is a result of fractional crystallization of mantle-derived basalt that is heavily contaminated by crustal components. However\, questions remain over the extent of crustal contamination and how contributions from the mantle versus the crust have fluctuated over the lifespan of the OVC. In this study we aim to answer these questions using intra-crystal and single-crystal oxygen isotopic ratios (δ18O) of rhyolite-hosted quartz. We use δ18O ratios because (1) they are minimally impacted by fractional crystallization\, (2) at the OVC\, they allow for better differentiation among possible contributing sources (i.e.\, mantle\, crust\, hydrothermally altered shallow crust) than radiogenic isotopes alone\, and (3) even minor fluctuations in δ18O ratios indicate significant changes in the mass of contributing sources. Results reveal homogenous δ18O ratios that indicate consistent mass contributions from mantle and crustal sources\, with significant assimilation (≥20 %) of surrounding metasedimentary crust\, across the 0.6 Ma lifespan of the OVC magmatic system. These findings differ from δ18O ratios observed in silicic systems that are situated in hot spot or subduction settings\, which exhibit large (>1.0 ‰) fluctuations in quartz δ18O ratios. However\, these findings resemble δ18O ratio fluctuations (or lack thereof) observed in silicic systems that are situated in extensional settings\, indicating that extension is largely responsible for magma flux and processes occurring at the OVC.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CSAS Lecture Series | Theorizing the Company Village: Corporate Social Responsibility in India’s Mining Belt
DESCRIPTION:Over the last two decades\, the pace and scale of private extractive industry in central and eastern India’s mountainous regions has intensified\, producing a profusion of open cast mines\, power plants\, refineries\, and steel plants that have converted vast agricultural and forestlands to new extractive and industrial use. Through the activities of their Corporate Social Responsibility units\, firms become embedded in the countryside through what I call “company villages.” These are inversions of the “company town” of the past\, which emerged in the 20th century as companies were forced by labor mobilization to enact programs for social welfare\, redistribution\, and development—what we might consider corporate social ethics—within the body of the firm itself. In a sector that is now heavily mechanized and capital-intensive\, firms attempt to demonstrate their social ethics on sites and on behalf of communities that are exterior to and on the periphery of their plants and mines. In place of the labor-capital dynamics that produced hard-won welfare for workers in yesterday’s company towns\, today’s extractive economies are marked by these company villages\, as firms build and operate rehabilitation settlements\, hospitals\, schools\, and cottage industries\, extending the spatial reach of their presence far beyond the perimeters of mine pitheads and industrial plants. This talk will illustrate the dynamics of the “company village” by drawing on fieldwork at several locations in Odisha\, India.\n\nSunila S. Kale is Associate Professor in the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington\, where she also serves as Chair and Director of South Asia Studies. Her research and teaching focus on Indian and South Asian politics\, energy studies\, the political economy of development\, and the history of capitalism. Her books include *Electrifying India* (Stanford 2014) and *Mapping Power* (OUP 2018). She is currently working on two book-length projects: one on corporate social responsibility and socio-economic change in the mining areas of eastern India\, and a second on yoga in the world of politics (with Christian Lee Novetzke).\n\nRegistration for this Zoom lecture is required: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0vc-qsrzIoEtywZcPyRnhns5YjokKT0grE\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at csas@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Pipilotti Rist: Kind (of a) Talk
DESCRIPTION:Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist\, a pioneer of spatial video art\, has been a central figure within the international art scene since the mid-1980s. Rist’s career rise coincided with the vast technical advancements seen over the past four decades\, a reality that Rist has responded to through playful exploration of new possibilities. Through large video projections and digital manipulation\, she has developed immersive\, color vivid installations. With her curious and lavish recordings of nature and her investigative editing\, Rist seeks to justify the privileged position we are born with in nature\, simply by being human. Her installations and exhibition concepts are expansive\, finding within the mind\, senses\, and body the possibility for endless discovery and poetical invention. For Rist\, showing vulnerability is a sign of strength on which she draws for inspiration. As she herself puts it\, “beside the energy-intensive exploration of the geographical world\, pictures\, films\, and sounds have been and are the spaces into which we can escape… The projector is the flamethrower\, the space is the vortex and you are the pearl within.”\n\nRist has had countless solo and group exhibitions\, and video screenings worldwide. Her recent solo exhibitions Come On Honey… at Kunsthalle Krems (2015)\; Your Saliva is My Diving Suit of the Ocean of Pain at Kunsthaus Zürich (2016)\; Pixel Forest at New Museum New York (2016 – 2017) and ‘Sip My Ocean’ at the Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney (2017-2018) all resulted in record-breaking attendance numbers for each institution. Pipilotti Rist: Big Heartedness\, Be My Neighbor  is the first West Coast survey of the internationally renowned Swiss media artist\, on view during winter 2021 at LAMOCA.\n\nIn partnership with the Ann Arbor Film Festival.
