Although the current climate has posed many challenges\, it also leaves room to reengage and reimagine organizational strategies. Companies have the opportunity to adopt creative and more agile work methods\; renew discussions surrounding DEI\; implement a stronger commitment to racial justice\; and improve employee engagement. Leaders have the potential to create supportive structures\, practices\, and cultures that foster connection\, while employees have the potential to self-discover and drive a mindful and meaningful connection to their work. All can act in harmony to connect with an organization’s purpose-driven mission.\n\nJoin us for the virtual Michigan Ross Positive Business Conference\, May 13-14\, 2021\, where we’ll share new practices\, tools\, and real-world examples for how to build stronger\, more connected teams and companies. Leading faculty and industry experts from Cisco\, IDEO\, Masco\, W.K. Kellogg Foundation\, and more\, will explore this year’s theme of “Meaningful Engagement in a Fragmented Time: Connecting with Self\, Others\, and Society.”  \n\nVisit www.positivebusinessconference.com to learn more and register to attend.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Japanese Studies and Antiracist Pedagogy | Contrapuntal Imaginations: Reading Empires in an Undergraduate Japanese Studies Class
DESCRIPTION:Advance registration for this Zoom webinar is required:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_p_LRbqtuSGiVocVOSEtodQ\n   \n   Part of the Japanese Studies and Antiracist Pedagogy webinar series:\nhttps://sites.lsa.umich.edu/jsap/webinars/\n\nIn Culture and Imperialism (1993)\, Edward Said introduces the term\, contrapuntal reading\, as a method to analyze the imbrication between metropolitan and colonial literary texts in the empire. By reading texts contrapuntally\, Said argues\, we are in a better position to understand the presence of colonialism in British novels such as the reference to Australia in David Copperfield or India in Jane Eyre. Furthermore\, contrapuntal reading must take account of both processes\, that of imperialism and that of resistance to it. This method of reading is still relevant and can serve as a corrective to today’s liberal discourse of inclusion and diversity. Current DEI efforts in the universities\, corporations and elsewhere as a result of systemic racism and exclusion laid bare by the pandemic and police violence are commendable\, but have their limits. Much like the push for multiculturalism in an earlier conjuncture\, the liberal discourse of DEI runs the risk of reifying differences and (un)consciously upholds the status quo without interrogating and dismantling the very system that made those differences possible in the first place. In the gesture of acceptance and tolerance\, liberalism continues to sustain white privilege and espouse colonial benevolence. And if we can place postwar liberalism as the dominant ideology in the United States responsible for establishing Area Studies as part of its anti-Communist effort\, a benign racism has been fundamental to the formation of our disciplines and knowledge production.\n   \n   Contrapuntal reading\, I suggest\, is useful in understanding the constituting and co-figuring of metropolitan and colonial relations that while addressing the minoritarian position of the colonized\, does not normalize the status of the colonizer. Furthermore\, contrapuntal reading can be extended to analyze the transition and translation between empires\, or what I am calling the transimperial to contextualize\, for example\, the shift from Japanese to American empire in postwar East Asia. Contrapuntal reading\, however\, is not simply descriptive in pointing out the presence and traces of empire in metropolitan and colonial texts. It requires imagination (and luck!) in juxtaposing and associating texts that are normally taught separately in different contexts to illuminate their contrapuntal relations. This webinar will present concrete examples from literature\, film\, popular culture and social theory intended for undergraduate teaching.\n   \n   Leo Ching is Professor in the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Duke University. His research interests include colonial discourse studies\, postcolonial theory\, Japanese mass culture\, and theories of globalization and regionalism.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:How to Do Good With Your Money
DESCRIPTION:Most of us spend more time thinking about making money than how to do good with it.  But after you make money you have choices about where to save it\, how to spend it\, how to give it away and how to invest.  For every one of these decisions you might ask yourself\, What if I want to do good when I do that?  This talk is about how you might \"do good\" wiith the money you have in ways you may not have thought about.  Dr. Gordon has written a new book\, \"Becoming a Social Entrepreneur\, Starting Out\, Scaling Up\, Staying True:. \nUMRA members will receive a Zoom invitation prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Lagranian Control at Large and Local Scales in Mixed Autonomy Traffic Flows
DESCRIPTION:The CCAT Distinguished Lecture Series returns this May with Professor Alexandre Bayen\, the Liao-Cho Professor of Engineering at UC Berkeley! This talk investigates Lagrangian (mobile) control of traffic flow at local scale (vehicular level)\, and how self-driving vehicles will change traffic flow patterns. Professor Bayen describes approaches based on deep\, reinforcement learning presented in the context of enabling mixed-autonomy mobility. This lecture also explores the gradual and complex integration of automated vehicles into the existing traffic system. Attendees will learn the potential impact of a small fraction of automated vehicles on low-level traffic flow dynamics\, using novel techniques in model-free\, deep reinforcement learning\, in which the automated vehicles act as mobile (Lagrangian) controllers to traffic flow.\n\nIllustrative examples will be presented in the context of a new\, open-source computational platform called FLOW\, which integrates state-of-the-art microsimulation tools with deep-RL libraries on AWS EC2. Interesting behavior of mixed autonomy traffic will be revealed in the context of emergent behavior of traffic: https://flow-project.github.io/
