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.

A Case in Jewish Diversity in the Second Temple Period DESCRIPTION:Conference Chairs: Gabriele Boccaccini\; Lisa Bowens\; Emma Wasserman\; Loren Stuckenbruck\n\nSecretary: Joshua Scott\n\nPaul of Tarsus was born\, lived and died a Jew. Raised as a Pharisee\, he then joined the early Jesus movement\, a first-century Jewish apocalyptic and messianic group. Paul became one of the most vocal leaders of the new movement and promoted its expansion among the gentiles. The conference\, organized by the Enoch Seminar and the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies\, aims to move Pauline research to a further stage\, beyond reclaiming Paul to Second Temple Judaism and proving that “he was not Lutheran.” By taking Paul’s Jewishness as a shared starting point\, the conference explores the figure of Paul within Second Temple Judaism in a line of continuity with the Jewish apocalyptic tradition (and the Enochic tradition in particular)\, not as an apostate of Judaism but as part of the vibrant Jewish diversity of the time.\n\nThe conference will not be aimed at a general audience\, but will instead bring together a group of selected specialists. It will be a workshop with discussion sessions introduced by oral presentations by specialists\, more than a series of papers. The goal is to gather all major specialists working in the field and have plenty of time for discussion. \n\nFor more information\, contact the conference secretary\, Joshua Scott (scottjos@umich.edu).\n\nRegister for this virtual event here: https://tinyurl.com/p6kr29j5\n\nParticipation is limited to members of academia.

The Past\, Present\, and Future of LGBT Activism in Singapore: A Roundtable on Pink Dot DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Register at: http://myumi.ch/0W3r9\n\nThis roundtable panel discusses the success and limits of an annual LGBT event called Pink Dot that began in Singapore\, a city-state that imposes significant barriers to political organizing. The first decade of Pink Dot has now come to an end\, but it is clear that the annual event has had a significant impact in terms of increased visibility for a marginalized community. Yet\, despite the successes of Pink Dot\, very little has concretely changed in Singapore for LGBT individuals. \n\nIn July 2021\, the Journal of Language and Sexuality (J. Lang. Sex.) published the first special issue dedicated to Pink Dot. In exploring the use of language in the Pink Dot movement\, the articles in this special issue simultaneously grapple with the past decade of Pink Dot and explore whether LGBT activism in Singapore might be evolving beyond the relatively ‘acceptable’ approach of Pink Dot’s strategic assimilationism. \n\nThe panel will be joined by the acclaimed Singaporean poet Alfian Sa’at\, Professor Michelle Lazar of the National University of Singapore\, and the three editors of the J. Lang. Sex. Professor Adi Saleem Bharat of the University of Michigan\, Professor Robert Phillips of Ball State University\, and Ph.D. student candidate Pavan Mano of King’s College London.\n\nPANELISTS:\n\nAlfian Sa’at is the resident playwright of Wild Rice. Some of his queer-themed plays include *Dreamplay: Asian Boys Vol. 1*\, *Landmarks: Asian Boys Vol. 2*\, *Happy Endings: Asian Boys Vol. 3*\, and *The Insiders*. In 2012\, he published a collection of queer poetry called *The Invisible Manuscript*. He was also part of the original committee that organized the first *Pink Dot* in 2009.\n \nMichelle Lazar is associate professor and head of the Department of English Language & Literature at the National University of Singapore. With research interests in critical discourse studies and multimodality\, Lazar has published widely in the areas of gender\, sexuality\, media\, and politics. She was the recipient of the 2018 IGALA Best Article Award for her research on the discourse of homonationalism in a global southern context.\n \nRobert Phillips is an associate professor of anthropology at Ball State University. He lectures on ethnographic methods and the anthropology of religion. Much of his empirical research was conducted in India and Singapore\, focusing on the intersection of religion\, technology\, and cultural change. Most recently\, Phillips has been conducting research with Jewish\, queer\, and BIPOC communities to understand how and why they employ alternative healthcare models in the healing of individual and communal trauma.\n \nPavan Mano is a PhD candidate in the Department of English at King’s College London. He works primarily in the cultural studies tradition at the intersections of language and literature. His current research deals with the heteronormativity and the politics of kinship\, race\, nationalism\, and the operation of xenology produced as a function of these logics.\n \nAdi Saleem Bharat is an LSA Collegiate Fellow and\, from Fall 2022\, an assistant professor in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan. His research examines the intersection of race\, religion\, gender\, and sexuality in contemporary France\, with a focus on Jews and Muslims. As a Singaporean\, he also maintains an active interest in contemporary Southeast Asia.

That’s where we come in: For almost 50 years\, the Student PIRGs have been working to amplify the power of student activism. We help students make real change\, right now\, that will help all Americans to live meaningful lives and have a greener and healthier future.\n\nFor example\, PIRG students are working to ensure young people are full participants in the political process by helping to turn out the vote in local\, state and national elections through our New Voters Project. In the fall of 2020\, we made nearly 400\,000 peer-to-peer personal reminder contacts in the weeks leading up to Election Day. Our hard work paid off and we saw record turnout among young people. We’re keeping up this momentum and aim to help more than 50 campuses get to full voter participation by building strong coalitions on campus that reach all students — from the College Democrats and the College Republicans\, to Greek Life organizations and sports teams\, to multicultural groups and student governments.\n \nWe all want to live meaningful lives in a world that's greener and healthier. That's the future our campus organizers work to build every day. If you want a career working with great people\, gaining real skills and start making a difference on important issues right away\, this could be a good fit for you. \n\nLearn more at jobs.studentpirgs.org UID:88434-21653955@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/88434 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211020T165201 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211025T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211025T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:UJIMA: Collective Work and Responsibility at the University of Michigan DESCRIPTION:This exhibit focuses on the concept of Ujima (collective work and responsibility in Swahili) as it pertains to activism on the campus of the University of Michigan over the years. By seeing how collective actions can lead to powerful movements\, the exhibit presents a chronological display demonstrating the importance of calling for change. \nThe majority of photos and articles originate from campus resources\, including the Bentley Historical Library\, the Michigan Daily's archives and other original materials. \nUJIMA is dedicated to the students\, faculty\, staff\, and alumni of the University of Michigan who envisioned and exemplified the principle of Ujima to bring about a more equitable and inclusive university through their thoughts and actions. \nThere is also a virtual audio/visual tour of the exhibit which can be accessed at:myumi.ch/7ZQn0 UID:88484-21654251@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/88484 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,african american,african and african american studies,african and afroamerican studies,African Diaspora,Black America,black history,Blackness,Civil Rights,daas,Equity,Exhibition,Inclusion,university of michigan history LOCATION:Haven Hall - G648 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211018T114845 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211025T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211025T124500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral and Experimental Economics (SBEE) Seminar: A Lot of Diversity is Good. A Little Diversity..... On the Possibility of Collectively Accurate Classifications: A Cognitive/Computational Unpacking of Condorcet DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn this talk\, I will provide a cognitive/computational unpacking of the Condorcet Jury Theorem. The core of the talk will focus on a paper co-authored with Lu Hong\, in which we construct a formal framework to study group accuracy on classification tasks. In the paper\, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for perfect accuracy and then characterize a group’s ability to make accurate classifications as a function of its diversity\, size\, and the accuracy of its members. For groups relying on the majority rule\, we show that increasing individual accuracy produces a setwise increase in collective accuracy\, but that\, contrary to intuition\, increases in group size do not. We further show that increasing diversity\, as measured by pairwise disagreement\, only guarantees increased accuracy for highly diverse groups. Finally\, we derive a general condition for increasing group size to raise or lower expected accuracy assuming individuals drawn from a population. In addition to the paper\, I will reframe the model using disciplinary lenses to discuss the potential for making good decision in complex environments.\n\n(To attend this online event\, please complete the form to receive email instructions and announcements for this and future SBEE Seminars.)

Previous research has indicated that children are unlikely to abide by “Do’s and Don’ts” without a causal understanding of relevant processes. To that end\, we investigated 5–12-year-old children’s (and their parents’) knowledge of COVID-19 transmission. In this talk\, I will present preliminary data on common misconceptions children hold about COVID-19 transmission and discuss points of interest for future investigations and interventions.

Cell Phone Access and Epidemic Containment Efforts DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the impact of mobile phone access on the containment of an epidemic. Speaker Elisa Maffioli et al. study this question in the context of the 2014 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in Liberia. They found that having access to cell phone coverage leads to a 10.8 percentage point reduction in the likelihood that a village has an EVD case. Results from this novel survey collected following the epidemic suggest that this is mostly explained by cellphone access facilitating emergency care provision rather than improving access to outbreak-related information. \n\nDr. Maffioli is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Health Management and Policy\, at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Her research is in development economics\, health economics and political economy\, with a focus on infectious diseases\, maternal and child health\, and nutrition in lower income countries. She is currently working in Liberia\, Myanmar\, Brazil\, Mozambique and Nigeria\, and has also conducted research in Lesotho\, Kenya and India. \n\n\nMichigan Population Studies Center (PSC) Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.\n\nhttps://www.psc.isr.umich.edu/events/brown-bag/ UID:88052-21648952@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/88052 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,brown bag,Covid-19 Research,Data,Data Science,Discussion,Free,Graduate and Professional Students,Health,Health Data,Humanities,Information and Technology,Lecture,Livestream,Multidisciplinary Design,Online,Population Studies Center,Public Health,Research,Social Impact,Social Sciences,Sociology,Survey Research LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211020T123941 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211025T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211025T130000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:PICS Career Event.

The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS was designed to measure BR(K + → π +νν) with a precision of about 10%. The key features of the experiment include ultrafast tracking for both beam and secondary particles\, redundant particle identification\, hermetic photon vetoes\, and high-performance electromagnetic calorimetry. The experiment took data from 2016–2018 before LHC Long Shutdown 2\, obtaining a measurement of BR(K + → π + νν) in agreement with the Standard Model prediction\, establishing the existence of the decay at the 3.4σ level and providing new constraints on models for physics beyond the Standard Model. The data collected in 2016–2018 correspond to 20% of the expected total\; the experiment restarted data taking in July 2021 and will be completed in 2024. Over the longer term\, the continued availability of the primary proton beam from the CERN SPS through at least 2036 provides an opportunity for an integrated program for precise measurements of rare kaon decays\, both charged and neutral\, to give clear insight into the flavor structure of new physics. This program will make use of a significantly upgraded NA62-like setup with detectors that can be reconfigured and reused in various experimental stages\, including a measurement of BR(K + → π + νν) to ∼5%\, a measurement of BR(KL → π 0 νν) to ∼20% (KLEVER)\, and a program with a neutral beam and downstream detectors for tracking and particle identification to allow the study of decays such as KL → π^0 \ell^+ \ell^−. In this seminar\, the recent results from NA62 will be reviewed\, and future directions for the kaon program at CERN will be described.\n UID:86657-21635381@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/86657 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211013T152545 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211025T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211025T173000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Pumpkins and Spice DESCRIPTION:Donuts\, cider\, and swag* of the season.

RoboTruckers: The Double Threat of AI for Low-Wage Work DESCRIPTION:Much attention has been paid to the risk artificial intelligence poses to employment\, particularly in low-wage industries. The question has invited well-placed concern from policymakers\, as the prospect of millions of low-skilled workers finding themselves suddenly without employment brings with it the potential for tremendous social and economic disruption. Long-haul truck driving is perceived as a prime target for such displacement\, due to the fast-developing technical capabilities of autonomous vehicles (many of which lend themselves to the specific needs of truck driving)\, characteristics of trucking labor\, and the political economy of the industry. In most of the public rhetoric about the threat of the self-driving truck\, the trucker is seen as a displaced party. He is displaced both physically and economically: removed from the cab of the truck\, and from his means of economic provision. The robot has replaced his imperfect\, disobedient\, tired\, and inefficient body\, rendering him redundant\, irrelevant\, and jobless. But the reality is more complicated. The intrusion of automation into the truck cab certainly presents a threat to the trucker\, but the threat is not solely or even primarily experienced\, as it is so often described\, as displacement. The trucker is still in the cab\, doing the work of truck driving—but he is joined there by intelligent systems that monitor his body directly. Hats that monitor his brain waves and head position\, vests that track his heart rate\, cameras trained on his eyelids for signs of fatigue or inattention: these systems flash lights in his face\, jolt his seat\, and send reports to his dispatcher or even his family members should the trucker’s focus waver. As more trucking firms integrate such technologies into their safety programs\, truckers are not being displaced by intelligent systems so much as they are experiencing the emergence of intelligent systems as a compelled hybridization\, a very intimate incursion into their work and bodies. This paper considers the dual\, conflicting narratives of job replacement by robots and of bodily integration with robots\, to assess the true range of AI's potential effects on low-wage work.\n\nKaren Levy is an Assistant Professor of Information Science at Cornell University and Associated Faculty at Cornell Law School.

Drawing its inspiration in part from The Fierce Urgency of Now: Improvisation\, Rights\, and the Ethics of Cocreation\, a collaboratively-authored book by Daniel Fischlin\, George Lipsitz\, and Ajay Heble\, this series of online roundtable conversations will explore Improvisation in the arts as a scene of encounter. What happens when artists come together to improvise\, and what might this scene of encounter tell us about the staging and negotiation of difference: between artists\, between artists and audiences\, between the present moment and the varied histories and contexts that gave rise to it? \n\nModerated by Ajay Heble\, and presented in association with Edgefest\, the focus of the first panel is FESTIVALS\, and brings together three leaders in the curatorial field. Vocalist Deanna Relyea was the founder of Kerrytown Concert House and is the current Artistic Director of Edgefest\, Michigan’s long running avant-jazz festival. Dancer\, poet and organizer of movement\, music and causes Patricia Nicholson Parker has developed her work within the aesthetic of free jazz. Nicholson founded Arts For Art and the Vision Festival to promote and advocate for free jazz. Rainbow Robert is a relentless proponent of strange\, beautiful\, heavy music. She has been deeply involved with the jazz community in Canada for the past two decades through her work with Coastal Jazz\, and as producer of the Vancouver International Jazz Festival\, where she currently serves in the role of Managing Artistic Director. \n\nScholar-in-Residence Ajay Heble is Director of the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation and Professor of English in the School of English and Theatre Studies at the University of Guelph. He is the author or editor of several books\, and a founding co-editor of the journal Critical Studies in Improvisation/Études critiques en improvisation (www.criticalimprov.com ). He was the Project Director for Improvisation\, Community\, and Social Practice\, a large-scale Major Collaborative Research Initiative\, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. As the Founder and Artistic Director of the Guelph Jazz Festival\, Heble has jolted the citizens of Guelph into an appreciation of improvised and avant-garde music and delighted aficionados from around the world with his innovative and daring programming. \n\nIf you require accommodation to participate in CWPS events\, please contact the Center for World Performance Studies\, at 734-936-2777 or cwps.information@umich.edu.

Please review The Ark’s current COVID-related information before attending a show.*\n\nSteve Forbert is one of the few artists who can mesmerize a crowd with nothing but a distinctive voice\, an acoustic guitar and his trusty harmonica slung around his neck. More than four decades have passed since Forbert first made his way to New York City from Meridian\, Mississippi and his intimate verbal imagery\, paired with a roots-rock musical approach\, struck a chord with millions of people during the transitional period between ‘70s folk-rock and ‘80s New Wave.\n\n​Forbert’s debut album\, ‘Alive On Arrival’\, became one of 1978's most acclaimed records. Rolling Stone contributing editor David Wild recently reflected that “now or then\, you would be hard-pressed to find a debut effort that was simultaneously as fresh and accomplished\,” comparing it to “a great first novel by a young author who somehow managed to split the difference between Mark Twain and J.D. Salinger.”\n\nOne Track from that album\, “Grand Central Station\, March 18\, 1977”\, earned him a spot on the 2014 Village Voice list of The 60 Best Songs Ever Written About New York City\, along with many musical heavyweights like Jim Croce\, Tom Waits and Frank Sinatra. \n\n​Hailed by The New York Times as “an introspective\, homespun philosopher\,” Forbert's second album\, Jackrabbit Slim\, released in 1979 achieved RIAA Gold record status on the strength of its hit single “Romeo’s Tune\,” which reached #11 on the Billboard charts and helped cement his status as a genuine craftsman. Jackrabbit Slim was re-mastered and re-released in 2019 by Blue Rose Music to commemorate its 40th anniversary.\n\n​Forbert’s songs have been covered by a wide range of artists\, from Keith Urban and Rosanne Cash to Marty Stuart and John Popper. Forbert also appeared opposite Cyndi Lauper in her iconic music video for ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’! \n\n​Forbert has released 20 studio albums\, including a Grammy-nominated tribute to Mississippi legend\, Jimmie Rodgers. In 2017\, An American Troubadour: The Songs of Steve Forbert was released\, featuring renowned musicians like John Oates and Robert Earl Keen\, performing his songs.\n\n​In 2018\, Forbert published his memoir Big City Cat: My Life in Folk-Rock.  “Like the earlier Bob Dylan and Patti Smith books\, Forbert has a warm way of describing the pull of NYC and the ensuing challenges of getting traction\, against the context of a small-town upbringing. He offers a sparkling observation about the pull of music as excellent as any I have seen\,” says Entertainment Today.\n\n​This year\, Forbert was the recipient of the 2020 Governor’s Arts Award in his home state of Mississippi\, having already been inducted into the  Mississippi Musician’s Hall of Fame in 2016.\n\n​Anyone who reviews Steve's catalog of music can see the writer in the musician. His songs are as literary as they are musically vibrant. Brutally honest lyrics delivered with sensitivity create an uncommon trust with his listeners. Excelling in every decade of his career\, Forbert exemplifies the heart and soul of the troubadour tradition. \n\n​On May 1\, 2020 via Blue Rose Music\, Steve will release a cover record of 11 of his favorite folk-rock songs\, entitled Early Morning Rain. \"I recorded this album in an attempt to renew people's appreciation for the fine craftsmanship these songs represent\,\" says Forbert\, \"and as an acknowledgement of how much good ‘ol songs like these have meant to me.”\n\n​Forbert continues to tour extensively\, both nationally and internationally.
