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.

Full participation requires the reading of pre-circulated papers. If you are interested in joining the meeting\, please contact armenianstudies@umich.edu.\n\nFull workshop schedule at: https://ii.umich.edu/armenian/news-events/all-events/workshops/april-2021-workshop.html\n\nIn recent years\, the history of trauma\, memory\, and mental health\, as well as the literary\, anthropological\, and sociological studies of madness have gained a remarkable momentum internationally. Still\, there have been virtually no substantial studies of a premodern and modern understanding of trauma\, memory\, and mental health in Armenia and its Diaspora. This interdisciplinary workshop aims to interrogate the stories of both medical and psychiatric sciences as well as that of the concepts of trauma and madness in Armenian political\, historical\, literary\, and cultural discussions in the past and present. The workshop will focus on the histories of medicine\, trauma\, and psychiatry and the portrayals of madness as a form of behavior\, marker of difference\, and tool of body politics across periods and geographies. The workshop organizers are interested in the broader history of medicine\, but they would like to draw particular attention to the historical and contemporary landscapes in which medical professionals sought to exercise their authorities over mental illnesses and the mind itself.\n\nIn the nineteenth and twentieth centuries\, tools and theories have provided medical professionals with renewed opportunities to intervene in the social\, political and cultural spheres with the shared objective of devising and implementing therapies of madness. In this\, the workshop will initiate an interdisciplinary conversation about the concept\, diagnosis\, treatment\, “The Genius and the Crowd” (1909) by Yeghishe Tadevosyan (1870-1936) and social construction of “madness.” The goal is to consider new perspectives\, methodologies and crossdisciplinary frameworks that will put Armenian Studies in conversation with\, among others\, the growing fields of history of medicine\, science\, and technology studies. We are also interested in a comparative study of genocides and trans-generational transmission of trauma by underlining both parallel mechanisms and unique features of the legacies of various historical and social traumas\, such as the Holocaust\, the historical oppression and colonization of native peoples in America and African-American slavery. As such\, an examination of the loops between various forms of colonial\, structural and ethnic violence\, socio-political discourses and embodied individual experiences are of interest for our discussion.\n\nIn the course of the workshop\, the hope is to call into question what was and is culturally defined as madness as well as medical and societal interventions to “cure” madness and “contain” the mad. Therefore\, this meeting will situate the notion of madness at the intersection of politics\, medicine\, literature\, sociology\, and anthropology and seeks to explore the changes in its definition and the underpinnings of perceptions of mental illnesses at critical junctures of history in Armenia and amongst its diasporic communities across the globe.

The Themersons and the Art of Translation DESCRIPTION:This talk is a simple introduction to a complicated subject: the Themersons\, their life in images – still and moving\, and words in a multitude of configurations. Both Stefan Themerson (1910-88) and Franciszka Themerson (1907-88) were born in Poland\, where they made experimental films. In 1938 they moved to Paris\, and between 1940 and 1942 the war deposited them in London\, where they spent the rest of their lives. Franciszka was a painter\, graphic designer\, stage designer\, film maker\, and publisher. Stefan was a filmmaker\, writer\, poet\, graphic designer\, and publisher.\n \nThe topic of translation relates to nearly everything: word into sound\; one language into another\; face into a portrait\, events into a chart. This is something that Stefan thought and talked about\, and invented his own form of translation\, which he called Semantic Poetry.\n \nJasia Reichardt is a writer on art and an exhibition organizer. She was born in Poland\, educated in England\, and has lived in London most of her life. She was assistant director of the ICA in London from 1963-71\, and director of the Whitechapel Art Gallery from 1974-76.

Researchers often want to model the causal impact of covariates on the outcome variable using different estimation strategies (e.g. fixed effects regression\, difference-in-differences\, instrumental variables\, etc). I propose a way to increase control in these estimation procedures by using network theory models motivated by a discrete choice framework. I suggest a bi-partite network representation of these datasets\, with agents being nodes on one side of the network and choices being nodes on the other side of it. Edges in this network represent a choice made by an agent at a certain time\, resulting from a discrete choice problem. I argue that the structure of connections in this choice-network allows the researcher to further improve controls when modelling the outcome variable. For instance\, I use the choice-network to project agents in a multidimensional latent space that captures each agent's choice-profile and distances between agents in this latent space represent a metric of similarity between them. I propose exploring the high-dimensional choice-profile of agents to improve causal inference exercises in a series of ways.\n\nBernardo Modenesi is a Ph.D. candidate in Economics\, also pursuing a masters degree in Statistics\, at the University of Michigan. Bernardo's interests lie in interdisciplinary statistical methods\, such as network theory and machine learning\, for the improvement of causal inference exercises and economic modelling.

This legacy of slavery trope is said to be a major factor causing contemporary black-on-black violence. As a counter narrative\, extreme poverty\, revealed from the perspective of black political economy covering the Great Depression to the present\, is shown to provide a better platform from which to understand challenges faced by black people.\n\nBio: William E.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nSupporting medication reconciliation and medication self-management: the implication of home health quality reporting requirements on the home care admission visit\n\nAbstract:\nIn the United States\, the landscape for the operations and evaluation of Medicare-certified home health agencies has changed radically in the last five years. In January 2016\, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation Center launched the Home Health Value Based Purchasing Model (HHVBPM) and in November 2018\, CMS finalized a case-mix classification model that went into effect January 1\, 2020. The timeframe of home health payments changed from a 60-day episode to a 30-day period. To evaluate the agencies\, the model uses data from several sources. The inclusion of Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) dataset derived from the patient home care episodes coupled with the shortening of the home care episode period place a burden on the admission visit. Systems engineering research can help to address the associated data collection and documentation burden. Given that home care and other post-acute care settings were omitted from Meaningful Use developments\, their progress in supporting smooth information transfer and applications of decision support and data science lag behind acute care. Thus research can identify whether some data could be acquired as part of the referral into home care. Finally research is required to ensure that the quality and outcome measures are differentiating the agencies in ways that improve patient care. This talk will discuss a four-year multidisciplinary collaborative research project addressing standards for health information technology to support the homecare admission process. It will address the characterization of information requirements\, decision-making\, and workflow for admitting nurses based on focus groups\, observations\, and document review of 3 agencies (serving rural\, suburban\, urban populations) using 3 different HIT systems. The analysis will focus on three critical clinical decisions (medication self-management capability\, problems to put on the care plan\, next visit timing and frequency of future visits).\n\nBio:\nEllen J.

Participants will be encouraged to think about how they approach situations where the ship they are in seems to be stuck in a port and is not going anywhere. Stuck in racism? Stuck in sexism? Stuck in certain social classes? What do you need to make your ship sail? Will a new captain do it? Or\, should you be the “Captain of your own fate?” Do you need a new destination? Are you bored with the direction you have been going? Are you going in circles? Do you need new perspectives\, new shipmates? Have you outgrown the mundane\, xenophobic habits of those in your circle? How can you develop healthy habits to move your life and community forward? Short\, interactive activities will assist each participant in using the ship metaphor to move forward in their life.\n\nAn integral part of the Inspire initiative is pairing advocacy\, social change\, and activism with skills that enhance a sense of wellbeing\, focus\, and interconnectedness. A short guided Mindfulness Meditation practice will be incorporated into the program. \n\nWendy Ann Woods served the citizens of Ann Arbor from 2001 to 2007 as City Councilwoman.

Vlasic Dean of Engineering\, \nRichard F. and Eleanor A. Towner Professor of Engineering\, \nArthur F. Thurnau Professor\,\nUM\n\nMichigan Engineering has been at the forefront of spacecraft Electric Propulsion (EP) research and development for nearly three decades. Our graduates have populated academia\, industry and government labs as EP specialists and leaders. Our work has had a major impact on the field. For example\, the Hall thruster that will be used on NASA's Lunar Gateway space station shares its design heritage with thrusters developed at the University of Michigan in partnership with NASA.\n\nI will provide a brief history of EP research at the University of Michigan. While Michigan has played a leading role in developing several types of EP systems\, my talk will focus on how we established the University as the academic focal point of Hall thruster research\, and walk us through the many twists and turns that got us to where we are today!\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Alec D. Gallimore is the Robert J. Vlasic Dean of Engineering at the University of Michigan. Dean Gallimore is a rocket scientist\, and in 2019 was elected to the National Academy of Engineering--among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer.

Drawing on data from a large mobile sensing project\, new results are presented concerning how social media use varies by location and transportation mode in daily life -- and how situated app use relates to emotional well-being. In the process\, the opportunities and obstacles associated with designing studies that directly pair mobile traces (e.g.\, app logs\, GPS) and surveys (e.g.\, ESM\, EMA) are discussed. To that end\, the talk showcases the potential of using mobile traces to understand the psychological implications of communication technologies.\n\nCommunication\, Technology and Games: A Talk in Three Levels\nProfessor Dmitri Williams\nAssociate Professor at the USC Annenberg School for Communication\n\nLecture Abstract:\nIn 2020 games became the majority of all media activity\, surpassing radio\, books\, film and TV combined. As a relatively underexamined medium\, games continue to afford excellent data and opportunities for researchers. Professor Williams will walk through his recent and current work around communities\, social dynamics and measurement using game data. After an adventure into startups\, this work is informed by a mix of theoretical and practical considerations. His research agenda is framed by general Comm and CMC theories\, and uses a wide range of methodologies\, including ethnography and participant observation\, experiments\, surveys\, and large-scale data techniques.

More than fifty years ago\, King made a call for a poor people’s campaign to take up arms against the evils of racism\, poverty\, and militarism. Yet\, King’s expanding and increasingly radical vision for his work is often forgotten\, co-opted by voices that distort his emphasis on love\, compassion\, and nonviolence to serve the status quo. Anti-racist activists who’ve followed King have had to grapple with how to interpret and respond to his legacy. One of them\, the Rev. William Barber relaunched the Poor People’s Campaign in 2018\, adding to King’s list of evils “environmental degradation” and calling for a multiracial coalition of poor people to challenge America’s exploitation of its people and the land. This three-part reading group will trace King’s varied legacy from his last published book to the present day and consider how those of us working for social justice can understand and build on his legacy.\n\nAny questions\, or to receive the RSVP link for the reading materials and the Zoom link\, email LSWA Director Carol Tell (tellc@umich.edu). \n\nJan. 13\, 5 p.m. King\, “The World House\,” from Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? \nFeb. 25\, 5 p.m. “MLK Now” by Brandon Terry and responses\nNEW DATE Apr. 8\, 5 p.m. William Barber\, “Pastoral Letter to the Nation” and Marc Lamont Hill\, “Language of the Unheard” and “Toward an Abolitionist Vision” UID:80674-20771624@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80674 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:History LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210106T150252 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210408T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210408T182000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Total Body Strength DESCRIPTION:Experience strength training like never before!
