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 UID:82750-21171610@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,cmenas,Film,Middle East Studies,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T230000 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.

At the most basic level\, it is how we take care of ourselves. The food we eat\, the exercise we do to stay healthy\, and the medicine we take when we get sick. However\, self-care is more than that. It includes all the things we do to stay happy and healthy. That could be taking a walk or a run outside\, or doing some arts and crafts. Maybe it’s playing a favorite sport with friends\, or trying a new recipe. \n\nDuring this virtual Family Week\, we’ll learn about how people in the ancient Mediterranean practiced self-care. We’ll even try out some of their techniques for ourselves.\n\nWe kick off the week with an introductory tour about ancient self-care. Be sure to join us on Sunday\, March 28\, at 2 PM. We will take a closer look at some objects in the Kelsey collection related to health and wellness. Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96083862910.

Yet\, religious practice has developed in relation to longstanding sacred geographies and networks in South Asia\, intersecting with modern identity formations in unusual and unexpected ways. In this conference\, we will explore the relationship between religion\, identity\, historical networks and sacred landscapes to understand the formation of religious thought and practice in Pakistan. Through a multidisciplinary approach\, this conference aims to cultivate a discussion of transnationalism\, sectarianism\, marginality\, inter and intra-religious dynamics. We will engage with the work of scholars and artists from Pakistan\, Europe and the United States concerned with a variety of religious groups in Pakistan\, and the complex ways that religious practice has been shaped through interactions between distinct identities\, not only along the lines of religion\, but also gendered and social difference. While focusing on Pakistan\, we hope to challenge prevalent assumptions about the current configuration of borders and explore deeper and continually relevant connections between distinct religious spaces and practices in South Asia.

We estimate a differentiated products demand model for this market using aggregate data on market shares\, prices\, and product characteristics and consumer-level data on demographics\, purchases\, and stated second choices. We estimate marginal costs under the conduct assumption of Nash-Bertrand pricing. We relate trends in price-cost margins to industry trends in market structure and the composition of products\, like the rise of import competition\, introductions of the minivan and SUV\, and changes in automobile characteristics. We find that although prices rose over time\, concentration and market power decreased substantially. Consumer welfare increased over time. The fraction of the total surplus accruing to consumers also increased.\n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:81745-20949401@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81745 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210323T145409 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Noah Simon\, Associate Professor\, Department of Biostatistics\, University of Washington DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Non-parametric modeling of regression functions is an important contemporary topic. Many machine learning (ML) methods can be viewed through the lens of non-parametric estimation. Often we aim to learn a predictive model or decision rule and must select model complexity to balance bias and variance. The optimal model complexity is based on the number of available samples as well as the complexity of the underlying truth. In ML\, model complexity is generally selected based on empirical performance (rather than theoretical results)\, nevertheless theory can help us understand the limits of model performance\, and motivate methodologic ideas.\n\nWhen building ML models with large datasets generally mini-batch based stochastic optimization methods are used: There\, a model is iteratively updated based on random small subsamples of our full dataset. This is often framed theoretically by imagining we have a dataset that is continually updated with batches of new samples. This is the so-called “online setting” and may also be an appropriate theoretical framework to use when we imagine that the performance of our method is compute constrained rather than data constrained.\n\nAs noted\, the optimal complexity of our model (for balancing bias and variance) is dependent on the sample size. Thus\, in the online scenario\, it is natural to consider a model of growing complexity (as more observations are obtained). This brings up further questions: How do we appropriately increase complexity? Do we need to store and re-use old observations as complexity increases? How computationally efficient can we be without losing predictive performance?\n\nIn this talk\, I consider these questions in a simplified model. I consider estimating a regression function that is smooth (lives in a Sobolev ellipsoid). I propose an almost painfully simple stochastic gradient descent method (in a linear space of growing dimension) and show that 1) this estimator achieves the minimax L2 estimation error rate\; and 2) Under some assumptions\, this estimator uses the minimal memory of any estimator that achieves that minimax error rate. I relate this to more classical sieve/projection estimators\, and to other stochastic gradient-based methods and ideas. These results also hold for estimating regression functions in an RKHS.\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/94350208889. There will be a virtual reception to follow.

Ruptured Ecologies: How Thai Settler Colonialism is Reshaping the Northern Uplands & Indigenous Futures DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Please register at http://bit.ly/3q8h5sf\n\nThe literature on colonialism in mainland Southeast Asia tends to focus on the European colonial project\, in part because of unease among scholars around applying the concept of indigeneity in the region. However\, an increasingly robust scholarly and activist conversation around indigeneity in Southeast Asia (see: Morton et al. 2016\; Baird 2018) invites a parallel examination of the states and politics against which indigeneity is articulated. In this paper\, I examine the Thai state’s upward expansion into the northern uplands over roughly the past half-century through the lens of settler colonial theory (Wolfe 2006\; Veracini 2011\; Whyte 2017\, 2018). Focusing primarily on state conservation and development interventions\, I argue that this upward expansion has been – and continues to be – a settler colonial project. I draw on extended ethnographic fieldwork in and beyond two Akha communities in Chiang Rai Province to show how state interventions rupture and replace Indigenous ecologies with settler ecologies\; facilitate (ethnic) Thai settlement while continuing to deny Uplanders’ land claims\; disadvantageously integrate Uplanders into the market economy\; and create generational rifts between elderly Uplanders and the youth on whom they depend to both care for them and carry on their cultural traditions. Together\, these interventions reshape upland landscapes and social relations in ways that reinforce state claims to upland spaces and threaten both the place-based livelihoods and “collective continuance” (Whyte 2017\, 2018) of Upland Indigenous communities – a hallmark of settler colonialism. In closing\, I briefly discuss emergent forms of adaptation and resistance in Upland communities.\n \nDaniel B. Ahlquist is an Assistant Professor in Michigan State University’s James Madison College of Public Affairs. As a teacher and a scholar\, he is motivated by an interest in human-environment relationships and the ways political and economic inequalities between social groups play out through uneven relationships to the environment. His current research projects explore the cross-cutting themes of state conservation and development agendas\, agrarian change\, displacement\, and changing forms of inequality in Southeast Asia.

Key among these data sources is the rapidly growing volume of digitized specimen records from natural history collections. The world’s herbaria house an estimated 400\,000\,000 specimens\, and as the number of online records – currently at ~60\,000\,000 – continues to grow\, these data provide excellent information on species distributions\, changes in distributions over time\, phenology and a host of traits. Integration of information from specimen records with phylogenies\, climate data and other resources enables new questions to be addressed while also providing new perspectives on longstanding questions in ecology and evolutionary biology. Although challenges to linking heterogeneous data remain\, new advances are enabling the use of herbarium and other museum data in novel ways. Through a series of case studies\, I will illustrate some of the many uses to which herbarium specimen data are currently being applied as well as some of the resources being developed to enable their use. These case studies link and analyze specimen data and related heterogeneous data sources to address a range of evolutionary and ecological problems.\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.

With these family collections\, Kathryn Babayan tells a new history of the city at the transformative moment it became a cosmopolitan center of imperial rule. Bringing into view people's lives from a city with no extant state or civic archives\, Babayan reimagines the archive of anthologies to recover how residents shaped their communities and crafted their urban\, religious\, and sexual selves.\n \nBabayan highlights eight residents—from king to widow\, painter to religious scholar\, poet to bureaucrat—who anthologized their city\, writing their engagements with friends and family\, divulging the many dimensions of the social\, cultural\, and religious spheres of life in Isfahan. Through them\, we see the gestures\, manners\, and sensibilities of a shared culture that configured their relations and negotiated the lines between friendship and eroticism. These entangled acts of seeing and reading\, desiring and writing converge to fashion the refined urban self through the sensual and the sexual—and give us a new and enticing view of the city of Isfahan.\n\nZoom registration: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwtf-2vpzwjHdzMifsfP-NwwJ_OCbwZIeUu UID:82740-21171581@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82740 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,Iiss Lecture Series,Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar,islamic studies,Middle East Studies,Virtual,Workshop LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210127T122846 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T140000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Phondi Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Phondi is a discussion and research group for students and faculty at U-M and nearby universities who have interests in phonetics and phonology.

We have not actually travelled very far from our home planet and we are only beginning to understand physiological changes and the potential for using science and engineering to overcome those challenges. For example\, we know we on Earth are protected by the van Allen belts. Can we find a way to protect astronauts who travel beyond the 36\,000 miles of van Allen belt coverage from the radiation? Can we overcome the loss of blood cells\, muscle mass\, proprioception\, and immune system function? Some of these are scientific questions\; others are engineering problems to solve. NASA and her international partners must work together to solve these problems if we are ever to travel back to the Moon\, on to Mars\, and beyond. This generation of scientists and engineers are going to be the people who overcome these challenges. A side benefit is for people all over the world to overcome differences and work together on this greatest of adventures.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Clark is currently the Associate Chair of the Department of Movement Science in the School of Kinesiology here at UM. She is also an Adjunct Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Aerospace Engineering. However\, these are both “retirement jobs” as she spent most of her career at NASA headquarters\, first as the International Space Station (ISS) Senior Scientist and then as the Chief Scientist for Human Space Flight. She worked with scientists from all over the world to communicate research needs and identify areas for international collaboration. Her particular interest was in “Human Factors”\, all the elements necessary for the health\, safety\, and efficiency of crews in space. One of the primary tasks was to identify the problems associated with long-duration space flight and use the ISS to find solutions to those problems. These include biological countermeasures for the undesirable physical changes as well as the psychological issues that may occur in response to the closed\, dangerous environments while traveling in space or living on other planets. One result of this work was a talk she gave regularly on the speakers’ circuit called\, “The 55 Reasons We Can’t Go.” UID:83340-21346225@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/83340 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Aerospace,aerospace engineering LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201201T142853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T150000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Differences Beyond Identity: Perceived Construal Distance and Interparty Animosity in the United States DESCRIPTION:Professor Sameer's research unpacks the complex interrelationships among the culture of social groups\, the cognition of individuals within these groups\, and the connections that people forge within and across groups.

Learning from Memory: A Transatlantic Conversation with Susan Neiman and Michael Rothberg DESCRIPTION:This lecture is being presented by the Center for European Studies and Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures as the Werner Grilk Lecture in German Studies.\n\nWhat can we learn from comparing different memory cultures? In particular\, how might we think about Holocaust memory and the Germans’ working through the past in relation to colonial and postcolonial memory\, but also to the memory of racism and slavery in the United States? How can we foster memorial cultures that create transnational spaces for solidarity and the recognition of different and often difficult histories? Working from separate vantage points\, Susan Neiman (Einstein Forum) and Michael Rothberg (UCLA) have both intervened forcefully in these debates in recent months and years. We look forward to bringing them together for a transatlantic conversation with CES Director Johannes von Moltke (U-M).\n\nBorn in Atlanta\, Georgia\, Susan Neiman studied philosophy at Harvard and the Freie Universität Berlin\, finishing her Ph.D. under the direction of John Rawls and Stanley Cavell. She was assistant and associate professor at Yale\, and associate professor at Tel Aviv University\, before becoming director of the Einstein Forum in 2000. She is a member of the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaft and the American Philosophical Society. Neiman is the author of over a hundred essays and eight books\, translated into many languages\, most recently *Learning from the Germans: Race and the Memory of Evil*.\n\nMichael Rothberg is the 1939 Society Samuel Goetz Chair in Holocaust Studies and professor of English and comparative literature at the University of California\, Los Angeles. His latest book is *The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators* (2019)\, published by Stanford University Press in their “Cultural Memory in the Present” series. Previous books include *Multidirectional Memory: Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonization* (2009)\, *Traumatic Realism: The Demands of Holocaust Representation* (2000)\, and\, co-edited with Neil Levi\, *The Holocaust: Theoretical Readings* (2003). With Yasemin Yildiz\, he is currently completing *Inheritance Trouble: Migrant Archives of Holocaust Remembrance* for Fordham University Press.\n \nRegistration for this Zoom webinar is required at https://myumi.ch/pdglQ\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

Aronson-Rath oversees FRONTLINE’s acclaimed reporting on air and online and directs the series’ editorial vision\, executive producing over 20 documentaries each year on critical issues facing the country and world. Under her leadership\, FRONTLINE has earned two Oscar nominations\, and has won every major award in broadcast journalism\, including Peabody Awards\, Emmy Awards\, an Institutional Peabody Award\, and the first Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Gold Baton awarded in a decade. For 16 years\, Aronson-Rath has served as a Livingston Awards judge honoring reporters under the age of 35 and identifying the next generation of journalism leaders.\n\nAt a time when broad skepticism of the news media has reached new highs\, Aronson-Rath has cemented FRONTLINE’s reputation as a source of trustworthy and consistent investigative journalism. She has expanded FRONTLINE’s reporting capacity\, spearheaded an initiative to bolster local journalism in news deserts\, and guided FRONTLINE’s evolution from a longstanding documentary series to a timely\, multi-platform journalism organization that is committed to uncovering vital stories and telling them in new ways. The New York Times described Aronson-Rath’s collaborative model for investigative journalism as “increasingly important … as a way to reach new viewers and produce more in-depth reports.”\n\nAronson-Rath has led an ongoing charge for transparency in journalism – including through the FRONTLINE Transparency Project\, an effort to open up the source material behind FRONTLINE’s reporting. She served as the sole public media representative on the Knight Commission on Trust\, Media\, and Democracy\, a blue-ribbon panel that published a landmark report on the causes and consequences of growing distrust in democratic institutions\, including the press.\n\nFor this speaker series event\, Aronson-Rath will be in conversation with Lynette Clemetson\, the Director of Wallace House\, Knight-Wallace Fellowships and the Livingston Awards for Young Journalists at the University of Michigan. A longtime journalist\, she was a correspondent for Newsweek magazine in the U.S. and Asia\, a national correspondent for The New York Times\, and senior director of strategy and new initiatives at NPR. Wallace House works to sustain and elevate the careers of journalists\, foster civic engagement\, and uphold the role of a free press in democratic society.\n\nThis program is brought to you with support from Wallace House and our series 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.
