Comprising a solo performance and an installation that serves as a set for that performance\, Realm of the Dead is grounded in the work of the Brazilian theater artist Augusto Boal and in autoethnographic social work research and practice. These methodologies are recommended as vehicles for critical reflection\, self-healing\, personal growth\, and advocacy.\n\nThe Realm of the Dead installation comprises more than thirty suitcases\, each reflecting an aspect of Pinto’s multiple physical and spiritual journeys and representing the cemetery where Marília is buried. The performance\, directed by Erwin Maas\, also includes autobiographical material and explorations of ethnicity\, race\, gender\, class\, and other identities. The autoethnographic content of the piece has been reformatted into workshops for students at the University of Michigan’s School of Social Work.

This exhibit commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Greek War of Independence\, which began with General Alexandros Ypsilantis’ (Greek: Αλέξανδρος Υψηλάντης) uprising against the Ottoman rulers in the Danubian Principality of Moldavia during the spring of 1821. https://myumi.ch/wlYoq\n\nThe exhibit was curated by students in the Michigan Library Scholars program\, William McClelland and Quinn Byington\, with Zachary Quint as their librarian mentor.

Stamps School of Art and Design Professor of Art Susan Crowell presents\, among other works\, a series of wall plaques depicting endangered species. In Professor Crowell's effort to\, \"...question our interactions with the animal world and our impact upon it\,\" she has installed images of elephants and donkeys as protagonists and antagonists in political struggle\, and polar bears as victims of global warming. \n\n\"Animal/ Vegetable/Mineral presents an occasion to speak about my most compelling interests—plants and animals--within the mineral rubrics of clay\,\" she says.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. Masks are required for all attendees. Vaccination is not required but highly encouraged. All attendees must complete a short questionnaire at https://responsiblue.umich.edu/sign-in before entering East Quadrangle.\n\nSusan Crowell is Professor of Art at the University of Michigan\, where she teaches ceramics and holds a joint appointment in the Residential College and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. A Fulbright Scholar\, she studied architectural ceramics at Centro Internazionale di Ceramica in Rome and directed and taught in the University of Michigan’s Program in Florence. Prof. Crowell conducts research and exhibits her work locally\, nationally and internationally. She has presented projects and exhibitions in Canada (at Banff)\, Japan (at Shigaraki and Miyazaki)\, Italy (Rome\, Venice and Florence)\, Taiwan\, Denmark and China\, as well as in France and the United States\, and she has participated in a variety of international venues and residencies. In 2005 Crowell published I Compianti Sul Christo Morto: Lamentation Groupings in Northern Italy to illuminate the distinguished history of ceramic materials in Quattrocento devotional and didactic sculpture\, and to bring an understanding of their use and potential to contemporary ceramics practitioners. In April of 2016 Prof. Crowell exhibited her work in the conservatories of the Matthaei Botanical Gardens at the University of Michigan\, and in May of 2017\, at the Alden Dow Gardens in Midland\, MI. In 2018 she conducted residencies and research at the Jean Noble Parsons Center for the Study of Art and Science in northern Michigan\, and at A.I.R. Vallauris in Vallauris\, France\, where she exhibited her work in La chapelle de la place Lisnard that October.\n \nFor ten years\, Crowell’s research and artistic practice has focused upon pollen forms and the process of pollination. Deploying her appreciation of the role of technology in revealing the natural world\, she applies the science and aesthetics of botany and apiculture toward the creation of ceramic sculpture\, using cast and hand-built forms. In doing so\, Prof. Crowell presents an expanded view of pollen within the problematics of industrialized honey production\, global commerce in apicultural products\, and genetically modified crops.. More recently\, she has created Thinning the Herd\, an installation of animal forms that addresses endangered species\, and Oppositional\, a commentary on contemporary political behavior in the United States.

Gender and Health in Global\, Transnational\, and Historical Perspectives DESCRIPTION:International Institute Conference on Gender and Health in Global\, Transnational\, and Historical Perspectives\n\nThursday\, October 14\, 9 AM-5 PM\nZoom Webinar. Please register at https://myumi.ch/2D2lP\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nFew would disagree that gender matters for understanding health\, healthcare delivery\, and health-related policies\, particularly as gender intersects with other social and geopolitical categories in generating inequalities and inequities in disease\, mortality\, access to health care\, and so forth. Most observers are also very aware that gender is critical to understanding the many social and environmental determinants of health\, such as economic development\, access to clean air and water\, the impact of climate change\, access to education\, among others. Yet we still have much to learn about the relationship between gender and health across varying geographic and temporal contexts\, such that we might be able to grapple with the relationships of gender and health within a global or transnational perspective or to understand the historical underpinnings of these relationships.\n \nThis interdisciplinary and geographically wide-ranging conference aims to bring together scholars from public health and the humanities\, from the medical sciences and the social sciences\, whose areas of research will help us consider past and present relationships of gender and health.\n \nFunded in part by five (5) Title VI National Resource Center grants from the U.S. Department of Education.\n\nCo-sponsors:\nCenter for Armenian Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Center for Southeast Asian Studies\, Center for South Asian Studies\, Center for Global Health Equity\, Donia Human Rights Center\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, Program in International and Comparative Studies\, School of Nursing\, Global Islamic Studies Center\, African Studies Center\, Center for European Studies\, Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies\, Department of Health Behavior and Health Education\, School of Public Health\, Department of Sociology\, Department of History\, Department of Economics UID:85690-21628283@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/85690 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Gender,Health,Humanities,International,Public Health,Social Sciences,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210915T155055 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211014T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211014T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Never Free to Rest DESCRIPTION:Detroit artist Rashaun Rucker's \"Never Free to Rest\" (Sept 13 - Oct 15) compares the life and origins of the rock pigeon to the stereotypes and myths of the constructed identities of Black men in the United States of America.

Speakers and topics:\n\nJohn Finkelberg\, Graduate Student Fellow at the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies and PhD Candidate in History at the University of Michigan\, examines the collaborative advertisements of the Parisian tailor Pierre Ferdinand Humann and the celebrated illustrator Paul Gavarni for the popular illustrated daily Le Charivari from 1839 to 1845. In examining how Humann and Gavarni mobilized idealized images of masculine intimacy in their advertisements\, he'll show how fashion journals taught men to think about their clothing as a way of navigating social and political concerns during the July Monarchy.\n\nMarina Kliger\, Eugene V. Thaw Fellow for Collections Cataloguing\, Department of European Paintings\, Metropolitan Museum of Art\, addresses the relationship between early 19th-century French women's fashion journals and a feminine historical consciousness rooted in the femmes illustres tradition. She examines historical references in the nomenclature of fashionable dress alongside information about women’s history that appeared in various publications aimed at a female audience in order to understand how women used revivalist elements of dress to fashion their own identities\, particularly in portrait commissions.\n\nCourtney Wilder\, Jane and Morgan Whitney Fellow in European Sculpture and Decorative Arts\, Metropolitan Museum of Art\, analyzes a succession of hand-colored lithographs published by the French graphic artist Henry Monnier (1799–1895) in the mid- to late-1820s that can be linked by their inclusion of an almost surreal-looking and highly fashionable rainbow-dyed shawl. These lithographs\, she argues\, demonstrate the movement of artists\, fashions\, images\, medias\, and technologies between Paris and London during these years\, while also encapsulating Monnier’s positioning of the new medium of lithography as uniquely capable of commenting critically upon the ephemeral nature of modern life\, especially an increasingly pervasive commodity culture that included both fashionable accessories and printed representations of them.\n\nSusan Siegfried\, Professor Emerita\, Denise Riley Collegiate Professor of the History of Art and Women's Studies\, University of Michigan\, will moderate the event.\n\nThis event\, part of a continuing Virtual Encounters in Book History series begun a year ago\, was organized by Juli McLoone\, University of Michigan\, and Benito Rial Costas\, Universidad Complutense de Madrid.\n\nJoin us on October 14 at this time:\n\n11 am EDT (Ann Arbor)\n4 pm BST (London)\n5 pm CEST (Madrid)\n\nNo registration is required.

Stu­dents and youth in the US and glob­ally have been at the fore­front of social change devis­ing mod­els of inclu­sion and care for those deeply impacted by the pan­demic and racial and envi­ron­men­tal inequities. \n Stamps Gallery invited stu­dents at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design to design posters and make videos that respond to the prompt: what change would you like to see in your community? Stamps students created meaningful posters and video work that will be featured in Respond/​Resist/​Rethink 2021: A Stu­dent Poster &\; Video Exhi­bi­tion. \n Why posters &\; video?\nFor gen­er­a­tions\, posters have served as an effec­tive tool to cir­cu­late ideas and mes­sages to the pub­lic. Visu­ally strik­ing\, and designed to draw atten­tion from passersby\, posters can be con­ver­sa­tion starters\, invite peo­ple to pause\, reflect\, spread the word\, get involved. They have been a pow­er­ful medium for many con­cep­tual artists and graphic design­ers to cre­ate pow­er­ful images and mes­sages that could respond to imme­di­ate issues and be dis­trib­uted widely. \n Sim­i­larly\, video art was another excit­ing imme­di­ate medium for con­cep­tual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the tech­nol­ogy became more acces­si­ble to the masses. Video art pro­vided an alter­na­tive to the dom­i­nant broad­cast­ing cor­po­ra­tions. Artists made exper­i­men­tal films\, recorded per­for­mances\, and first-per­son nar­ra­tives that were then exhib­ited and screened at gal­leries\, muse­ums\, and events. Posters and videos con­tinue to be salient fea­tures in the 21st Cen­tury to respond to urgent issues and ques­tions fac­ing the present moment. \nRespond / Resist / Rethink asks the UM com­mu­nity to come together to envi­sion mod­els for inclu­sion that are grounded in equal­ity\, belong­ing\, and empathy. The work featured in the exhibition were selected through an open call by a com­mit­tee comprising Stamps fac­ulty\, stu­dents\, and staff includ­ing Julianna Lew\, David Chung\, Najwat Rehman\, Albert Che\, and Stamps Gallery staff.

Weaving together art production and exhibition\, community-based workshops and public speaking all with the intention of encouraging action towards making artificial intelligence systems more inclusive\, accessible and transparent. \n In this exhibition\, Dinkins will debut new and interactive installations and workshops that build on her concept of Afro-now-ism. In this poetic manifesto-like text\, Dinkins asks her audience\, particularly from communities of color\, to not only confront the litany of violences that humans have wielded upon one another based on the institutional and social constructions of race\, caste\, class\, and gender to maintain status quo and the current systems of power - but rise above it by taking action to start building the world that they desire. \nShe writes: “Instead of waiting to reach the proverbial promised land\, also known as a time in the future that may or may not manifest in your lifetime\, Afro-now-ism is taking the leap and the risks to imagine and define oneself beyond systemic oppression... For black people in particular\, it means conceiving yourself in the space of free and expansive thought and acting from a critically integrated space\, allowing for more community-sustaining work.” \n Through her installations and workshops Stephanie Dinkins: On Love &\; Data develops a dialogue with the audience on the hierarchies embedded within machine learning and AI architecture and one'\;s individual agency in transforming the algorithms within it. The audience will explore and participate in creating a more inclusive data-based narrative of what governance of the people\, by the people and for the people can look like in an AI mediated world where care is encoded within our digital civic system.

Wege Lecture on Sustainability DESCRIPTION:Join us virtually for an engaging conversation with Gina McCarthy\, the country’s first National Climate Advisor. As the president's chief advisor on domestic climate policy\, McCarthy leads the White House Office of Domestic Climate Policy focused on mobilizing a whole-of-government approach to tackling the climate crisis\, creating good-paying\, union jobs\, and securing environmental justice. Having served as the 13th Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and then as President and CEO of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)\, McCarthy is one of the nation’s most trusted and accomplished voices on climate issues—and has been at the forefront of environmental and public health progress in a variety of leading roles for over three decades. \n\nModerated by Tony Reames\, Senior Advisor: Office of Economic Impact and Diversity U.S. Department of Energy\, Assistant Professor: U-M School for Environment and Sustainability\n\nFollowed by a Q & A with Kyle Whyte\, George Willis Pack Professor of Environment and Sustainability at University of Michigan\, White House Environmental Advisory Council UID:86828-21636901@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/86828 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Environment,environmental,environmental justice,environmental policy,Human Rights\, Sustainability\, Social Impact,Lecture,Public Policy,Sustainability LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211005T083456 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211014T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211014T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:LSI Seminar Series: Ahna Skop\, Ph.D.\, University of Wisconsin-Madison DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe midbody is a transient structure at the spindle midzone that is required for the terminal stage of cell division\, cytokinesis. Long ignored as a vestigial remnant of cytokinesis\, emerging data suggest midbodies are released from post-mitotic cells as a large 2um extracellular vesicles\, which can modulate cell fate decisions\, proliferative state\, tissue polarity\, cilia formation\, neuronal architecture and function\, and oncogenesis.\n\nOur ‘structure reveals function’ approach first demonstrated that the midbody matrix — a mysterious electron-dense region of unknown composition — is the assembly site of a phase-separated biomolecular condensate\, enriched for mRNAs encoding proteins involved in cytokinesis\, oncogenesis and pluripotency regulation\, including transcription factors. Hexanediol-sensitivity and FRAP analysis confirmed that the midbody matrix exhibits biophysical properties expected of an RNP condensate. SUnSET analysis of protein synthesis showed that both the mitotic and post-mitotic midbody are sites of recent translation. Consistent with this\, ribosomal subunits and elongation factors co-localize with puromycin labeling in a ring structure surrounding the midbody RNA core. We discovered that translation of midbody-enriched mRNAs is under tight temporal regulation\, beginning in G1 after cells have formally exited mitosis\, and continues after the midbody is abscised and released extracellularly from the daughters that birthed it. \n\nOur data suggest a model in which the midbody functions as a novel organelle with a complex life cycle comprised of both membraneless and membrane-bound phases: 1) an RNP condensate is assembled at the spindle overlap\; 2) spatiotemporally regulated translation is initiated as the daughter cells leave mitosis and reenter G1\; 3) abscission occurs and the membrane-bound RNP granule is released\; 4) the midbody is bound\, internalized\, and transfers information to recipient cells.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nAhna Skopis a geneticist\, artist\, author and a winner of the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). Her lab seeks to understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie asymmetric cell division. In 2004\, she pioneered proteomic and genomic approaches to identify novel cell division proteins by utilizing biochemically purified midbodies\, which was published in Science. More recently\, the lab has discovered that the midbody is a translationally active RNA containing organelle. The Skop lab’s focus now is to determine how this signaling organelle behaves as novel form of intercellular communication in mammalian cancer and stem cells. \n\nUnderstanding how cells divide is highly dependent on in vivo microscopy and large amounts of visual data\, which dovetails perfectly with one of her other passions: art. The combination of scientist and artist inspires her to think differently and maintain an open mind. Some of her work can be seen in the main entrance of the Genetics/Biotechnology Center building on the UW-Madison campus with a 40-foot scientific art piece called “Genetic Reflections.” She has also curated and contributed to a traveling exhibition of scientific art called “TINY: Art from microscopes” from the UW-Madison campus\, and she has organized the bi-annual Worm Art Show for the International C. elegans Meeting for over 26 years. \n\nSkop is also passionate about increasing the numbers of underrepresented students in STE(A)M fields. In 2016\, she was awarded the very first of two\, Chancellor’s Inclusive Excellence Award for her outreach and inclusive teaching efforts. She has served as a board member for SACNAS (Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science) and currently serves on the ASCB (American Association for Cell Biologists) Minority Affairs Committee\, where she has broadened her impact on underrepresented students in science nationally. Her recent book\, “Genetic Reflections”\, showcases the beauty of genetics\, model organism biology\, and DNA. \n\nSkop majored in biology and minored in ceramics as an undergraduate student at Syracuse University. She received her Ph.D. in cell and molecular biology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and conducted her post-doctoral work at UC-Berkeley. She is now a professor in the Department of Genetics and an affiliate faculty member in Life Sciences Communication and the UW-Madison Arts Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She mentors both scientists and art students in her lab\, and also serves on the board of the Wisconsin Science Museum\, where many of her art-science collaborations are on display. In 2008\, she was awarded an honorary doctorate of science from the College of St. Benedicts and was named a Remarkable Women in Science from the AAAS. In 2015\, she was honored as a Kavli Fellow from the National Academy of Sciences. In 2018\, she was awarded the first ever Inclusive Excellence Award by the ASCB and HHMI. She currently serves as an advisor to the chief diversity officer at the NIH\, and is a diversity consultant to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI). In 2019\, she was honored as one of 125 Women in STEM with an AAAS IF/THEN Ambassadorship. In 2020\, she published a book with her two talented undergraduates called “Genetic Reflections: A Coloring Book.” Her science and art have been featured by Apple\, The Scientist\, USA Today\, Smithsonian\, PBS.org\, NPR and Science magazine. She has recently started an online science art home décor store with her family called skopology.com. One of her great hobbies is cooking/baking (including scientific cakes)\; and she also manages a foodblogs\, foodskop.com\, and her AAAS IF/THEN funded labculturerecipes.com.

Decision making approaches and engineering and scientific predictions increasingly relying on simulation models that exhibit enormous amounts of uncertainty. Whether you are predicting the drag on an aircraft or the spread of covid-19 -- the models that underpin predictions must begin to honestly consider model parameter uncertainty\, environmental uncertainty\, and input uncertainties to yield robust and reliable predictions. Uncertainty quantification (UQ) provides a paradigm for all aspects of managing this uncertainty in simulation models\, including: forward uncertainty propagation\, inverse problems\, and experimental design. Nevertheless uncertainty quantification is expensive\, requiring the evaluation of high-fidelity simulation models more times than is typically affordable. Reduced order models and surrogate models help to an extent -- but they can deviate from their high-fidelity counterparts in ways that introduce unacceptable bias.\n\nMultifidelity approaches to UQ offer a promising alternative to minimize computational cost while maintaining the accuracy of a UQ analysis. In this talk we provide an overview of both sampling and surrogate-based multifidelity approaches. We dive into one specific approach for each one that offers significant promise of generality and that encompasses existing approaches. In the sampling context\, we provide an overview of approximate control variates -- which enhance Monte Carlo methods for estimating statistics by treating lower-fidelity models as a correlated information source. In the surrogate context\, we discuss MFNets: an approach to model the interactions between multifidelity information sources via a directed acyclic graph that is amenable to large-scale fast gradient-based learning. Throughout the presentation we will present results on both synthetic examples as well as prototypical PDE-based models.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nAlex Gorodetsky is an Assistant Professor of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research interests include using applied mathematics and computational science to enhance scalable autonomous decision making under uncertainty. He is especially interested in controlling systems\, like autonomous aircraft\, that must act in complex environments that are often represented by expensive computational simulations. Toward this goal\, he pursues research in wide-ranging areas including uncertainty quantification\, statistical inference\, machine learning\, numerical analysis\, function approximation\, control\, and optimization.\n\nPrior to coming to the University of Michigan\, Alex was the John von Neumann Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque\, New Mexico. At Sandia\, Alex worked in the Optimization and Uncertainty Quantification Group on algorithms for propagating uncertainty through physical systems described with computationally expensive simulations.\n\nAlex completed his Ph.D. (2016) and S.M. (2012) in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, where he worked on algorithms for stochastic optimal control and estimation in dynamical systems. He received his B.S.E (2010) in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan.

And if there is misallocation\, how severe are its resulting welfare consequences? In this paper we propose a new test for misallocation that is nonparametric in the sense that it does not restrict any firm’s production technology\, demand\, market structure\, or optimizing behavior. We also develop a new procedure to quantify losses from misallocation via a nonparametric instrumental variable random coefficient model. Our procedures exploit exogenous shocks that induce some firms to alter their input use and then measure the average level of\, and cross-firm dispersion in\, the rate at which firms’ output value increases\, on the margin\, for a given increase in inputs. We apply these results to a setting in which thousands of firms experience exogenous demand shocks due to a lottery-based assignment of public procurement contracts for construction services in Ecuador. Using monthly data on firm-to-firm transactions and employer-employee payments\, a randomization inference version of our test rejects (at standard levels) the null of overall allocative efficiency (AE) but the costs of this misallocation appears to reduce aggregate output among this set of firms by only 1% relative to the first-best. This derives roughly half from an insufficient aggregate use of inputs and half from cross-firm dispersion in the marginal products of the inputs that are used. Standard parametric assumptions applied to the same setting would suggest losses that are many times larger.

Register here: https://myumi.ch/E3O2b\n\nDescription: For people living in El Paso\, Texas\, loss and grief were twofold in 2020. People simultaneously had to protect themselves against COVID-19 and the rise of hate crimes fueled by xenophobia. Generations of border residents have had to mourn victims that died at the hands of white supremacy. They have also been subject to violence and abuse by doctors and officers who saw them not as patients\, but as “diseased criminals.” Professor Martinez will discuss the striking similarities between the long\, sordid history of US-Mexico border relations in the early twentieth century and recovery in the face of the twin crises of 2020.\n\nBiography: Monica Muñoz Martinez is an award-winning author\, educator\, public historian\, and active participant in developing solutions that address racial injustice. A national authority on the history of race\, she is an associate professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research specializes in histories of racial violence\, policing on the US-Mexico border\, Latinx history\, women and gender studies\, public humanities\, digital humanities\, and restorative justice. Born and raised in Texas\, Professor Martinez received her PhD in American studies from Yale University. \n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Director\, Assia Boundaoui DESCRIPTION:Join Arab and Muslim American Studies as we welcome Assia Boundaoui for a screening of her film\, The Feeling of Being Watched on October 14th\, 2021 @ 5:00pm in 3512 Haven Hall.\n\nIn the Arab-American neighborhood outside of Chicago where director Assia Boundaoui grew up\, most of her neighbors think they have been under surveillance for over a decade. While investigating their experiences\, Assia uncovers tens of thousands of pages of FBI documents that prove her hometown was the subject of one of the largest counterterrorism investigations ever conducted in the U.S. before 9/11\, code-named “Operation Vulgar Betrayal.” With unprecedented access\, The Feeling of Being Watched weaves the personal and the political as it follows the filmmaker’s examination of why her community fell under blanket government surveillance. Assia struggles to disrupt the government secrecy shrouding what happened and takes the FBI to federal court to compel them to make the records they collected about her community public. In the process\, she confronts long-hidden truths about the FBI’s relationship to her community. The Feeling of Being Watched follows Assia as she pieces together this secret FBI operation\, while grappling with the effects of a lifetime of surveillance on herself and her family.
