SUMMARY:Exhibition:Buying Home\, Selling America: the House Catalog\, 1906-1966
DESCRIPTION:Buying Home\, Selling America: the House Catalog\, 1906-1966 brings to light the collection of house catalogs in the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library’s Special Collections. Focusing primarily on the kit house industry of Michigan and the Midwest\, the catalogs provide a portal to explore multiple themes\, such as\, the Michigan house catalog industry\, changing architectural styles\, the business of selling homes\, societal and cultural implications\, and domestic technologies. We hope the exhibit is not simply a nostalgic view back\, but raises awareness of our domestic surroundings today and compels us to ask questions as we look to the future.\n\nThe exhibit is available in the Clark Library (second floor Hatcher) during Hatcher Library hours.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:When This is All Over / Cuando Esto Termine
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles-based artist Shizu Saldamando was born in 1978 to parents of Mexican-American and Japanese-American descent and raised in San Francisco’s Mission District. Saldamando merges painting and collage\, often using origami paper\, glitter\, or gold leaf in her compositions\, many of which are painted on wood or found surfaces. Her modern portraits and innovative methods challenge social constructs pertaining to individual and collective identity within the broader context of the “American Portrait.” Saldamando’s visual biographies\, which use her friends\, family\, and fellow members of the Chicanx creative community in Los Angeles\, create new ways of seeing and being seen.\n\nOn November 2\, 6:30-8pm\, Shizu Saldamando talks to curator Amanda Krugliak about Shizu's artistic practice and her exhibition *When This is All Over / Cuando Esto Termine*.\n\nAbout the artist: Shizu Saldamando is an LA based mixed media artist with an emphasis on portraiture. She received her B.A. from UCLA’s School of Arts and Architecture and her M.F.A. from California Institute of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited both locally and internationally and experiments with a broad range of surfaces and materials. Saldamando’s practice employs tattooing\, video\, painting and drawing on canvas\, wood\, paper\, and cloth. The work functions as homage\, as well as documentation\, of friends and peers within artistic and musical subcultures around the Los Angeles metropolitan area. She is currently represented by Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles.\n\nShizu Saldamando is the 2021 Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibt runs through December 12\, 2021.\n\nMaking art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us\, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art\, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.\n\nCurrently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States\, and in Michigan\, there are roughly 33\,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments\, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons\; the impact of incarceration on women\; youth incarceration\; and the dangers of COVID-19.\n\nThe exhibition features artists\, poets\, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force\, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in\, together.\n\nFree Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges\, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs\, and Janie Paul\, Senior Curator and Cofounder\, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners\, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: John Paisley\, Associate Professor\, Department of Electrical Engineering\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Models of sequential data such as the recurrent neural network (RNN) often implicitly treat a sequence as having a fixed time interval between observations and do not account for group-level effects when multiple sequences are observed. We propose a model for grouped sequential data based on the RNN that accounts for varying time intervals between observations in a sequence by learning a group-level parameter to which each sequence reverts as more time passes between observations. Our approach is motivated by the mixed membership framework\, and can be used for dynamic topic modeling-type problems in which the distribution on topics (not the topics themselves) are evolving in time. We demonstrate our approach on two datasets: The Instacart set of 3.4 million online grocery orders made by 206K customers\, and a UK retail set consisting of over 500K orders.\n\nBio: John Paisley is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University\, where he is also a member of the Data Science Institute. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Duke University. His research interests include Bayesian modeling and inference techniques\, Bayesian nonparametric methods\, and their applications to a variety of machine learning problems.\n\nhttp://www.columbia.edu/~jwp2128/

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The Clements Bookworm: Native American Boarding Schools as a Tool of U.S. Empire
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Veronica Pasfield discusses her continuing research to understand the full purpose and force of federal Indian boarding schools. She asserts that the creation story of Carlisle Indian School must be rooted in missionary schools founded to prepare Kanaka Maoli for wage labor on their own Hawaiian homelands as well as in the captivity of Native children in the Southwest by a U.S. Army desperate to bring about the submission of Western tribes by any means necessary. While administrators touted assimilation as a benevolent enterprise\, the archives show that Indian children were used as hostages to secure the extraction of tribal resources\, and “schools” were used as an instrument for transforming indigenous peoples into a permanent underclass in their own homeland.\n\nRegister for the link to join at myumi.ch/gjgzR\n\nThis episode of the Bookworm is generously sponsored by the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.\n\n*The Clements Bookworm is a webinar series in which panelists and featured guests discuss history topics. Recommended books\, articles\, and other resources are provided in each session. Inspired by the traditional Clements Library researcher tea time\, we invite you to pull up a chair at our [virtual] table. Live attendees are encouraged to post comments and questions\, respond to polls\, and add to our conversation and camaraderie.*

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:A Tale of Three Hillforts: The Multiple Roles of Hillforts in Influencing the Settlement and Land Use in the Plains of Dukagjin in Prehistory
DESCRIPTION:Settlement and mobility are prominent threads in Anthropology as they touch on an important factor of what it means to be human.  As such\, trying to understand why people live where they do and choose to move when they do is a research interest of many archaeologists. Drawing on survey data from the RAPID-K project as well as surface collections from my own pilot research\, I aim to further our understanding of settlement patterns in Western Kosova in prehistory. Specifically\, by exploring the role hillforts play in influencing the movement of people and land use in the area. Traditional interpretations of hillforts conclude that their role in prehistory was as defensible sites or refuges. While this was surely the case\, I aim to complicate this understanding by exploring the multiple additional roles these strategically located sites may have filled in the past. This summer\, I conducted surface collections at three hillforts in Western Kosova\; Krye\, Gradine\, and Gjyteti. Magnetometry survey was also conducted at the last two. While varying in size\, elevation and underlying geology\, these three sites share a common characteristic\; they are strategically located along the southern slopes of the Accursed Mountains\, overlooking the plains of Dukagjin. This placement allows for wide viewsheds of their surroundings\, which encompass key flat settlements below. The GIS\, magnetometry and surface collection results present three very different profiles\, suggesting that the sites filled different roles in the prehistoric landscape.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Connections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition
DESCRIPTION:Connections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project\, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some\, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration\, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.\n\nMartín Vargas\, artist and curator of this exhibition\, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work\, but also during select Art Lab studio hours\, which will feature several of the artists working in person.\n\nConnections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The exhibition is curated by Martín Vargas\, Vanessa Mayesky\, Scott Tompkins\, Nico Slowik\, Kimiko Uyeda\, and Jenna VanFleteren.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series. Nhu Quynh’s Stardom: The (Re)making of Womanhood on Screen\, Creative Labor\, and the Contemporary Vietnamese Film Industry
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\; register at https://myumi.ch/dOm0B\n\nThis talk discusses cinema in post-reform Vietnam through a combined analysis of gender\, creative labor\, and transnational filmmaking by looking at the five-decade career of a prolific and well-known socialist film star Nhu Quynh. As an experienced actress who has been awarded by the Vietnamese government with one of the highest artistic titles—the People’s Artist—Nhu Quynh has made an important contribution to the success of many high-profile\, international film projects shot in Vietnam after the country began opening its economy in the late 1980s such as *Indochine* (1992)\, *Cyclo* (1995)\, and *The Vertical Ray of Summer *(2000)\, as well as that of highly acclaimed films of the Vietnamese New Wave like *Wharf of Widows *(*Bến không chồng*\, 2001) and *Pao's Story* (*Chuyện của Pao*\, 2006). By exploring the complexities of cinematic female images embodied through her characters\, Nhu Quynh challenges the current reading of Vietnamese cinema that fixates on the representations of suffering\, submissive\, repressive women as the singular response to the heroic\, triumphalist portrayals of wartime heroines. Defying the prevailing hypothesis that women would be a victim of the market economy\, Nhu Quynh’s stardom illustrates the actress’s capability to take the opportunities of the open-economy policies to cultivate an impressive career amidst the crisis of the Vietnamese film industry in the post-socialist era.\n\nQui-Ha Hoang Nguyen is a postdoctoral associate at Yale University MacMillan Center for Southeast Asian Studies. She received her Ph.D. from the Department of Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Southern California in 2020. Her research interests include film postcolonial historiography\, gender\, and feminist studies\, transnational film/media industry\, environmental humanities\, and global Asian cinema. Nguyen’s current book project\, *Figuring Women in Vietnamese Revolutionary Cinema (1945 – 1975): Representation\, Affect\, and Agency*\, is a study of women’s lived experiences\, emotions\, and agency on and off-screen in wartime Vietnam.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Psychology Methods Hour:  Online\, continuous tracking of response force: What can we learn from the journey of a keypress?
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nResearchers often use response times and error rates to draw inferences about the processes and representations that underlie behavior. But response times and error rates index only the endpoints of neurocognitive processing. In this Methods Hour talk\, I will show that using force-sensitive keyboards to track anticipatory response activation before a button press occurs can distinguish between competing accounts of cognitive control. I will then discuss how tracking response activation could be useful in a wide variety of experimental contexts.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Variations in Biology > Colors\, toxins\, and complex phenotypes: Poison-dart frogs as an emerging model system for integrative biology.
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is part of a Variations In Biology seminar series exploring novel model organisms. The Model System revolution (which began in the 1980s and continues to this day) was driven by development of powerful genetic tools in a small group of organisms. While these popular models have driven major advances in many fields\, they represent a narrow slice of biological diversity. Evolution has created a smorgasbord of variations in biology that can be exploited to address interdisciplinary questions in fields spanning Development\, Cell Biology\, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. This seminar series aims to explore variations in biology and bring together audiences across the Biosciences at UM\, to foster interdisciplinary dialogue.\n\nIt is a hybrid event.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Lessons and surprises from Kaluza-Klein spectra
DESCRIPTION:Infinite towers of massive modes arise for every compactification of higher dimensional theories. Understanding the properties of these Kaluza-Klein towers on non-trivial solutions with an AdS factor has been a longstanding issue with clear holographic interest\, as they describe the spectrum of single-trace operators of the dual CFTs at strong coupling and large N. In this talk\, I will focus on two classes of solutions of such kind. The first class consists of AdS4 S-fold solutions of Type IIB supergravity that can be obtained from maximal gauged supergravity in D=4. For the later part\, I will describe new families of solutions in N=(1\,1) supergravity in D=6 which uplift from half-maximal supergravity in D=3. In both cases\, the spectra can be computed using recent techniques from Exceptional Field Theory\, and the information thus obtained leads to several unexpected conclusions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Marine Iodine cycling and Redox Implications in Modern and Ancient Oxygen Minimum Zones
DESCRIPTION:Iodine is a redox-sensitive element and its abundance in sedimentary rocks and foraminifera is used as a paleoredox proxy. This includes redox transitions on scales varying from the Great Oxidation Event in the Precambrian to Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles. However\, ancient applications and a modern understanding of dissolved iodine distribution are ultimately limited by a scarcity of empirical rates and an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms driving iodine oxidation and reduction in seawater today. In this talk\, I will trace iodine cycling from seawater to sediments\, including insights from oxygen minimum zones\, laboratory and shipboard radioisotope (iodine-129) tracer experiments\, diagenetic environments\, and modeling into the controls on the distribution of iodine speciation in the ocean today. We will overview the implications for iodine and related elemental cycles as well as the redox state of ancient oceans across key events in Earth history.\n\nThose wishing to attend remotely should log in to Zoom ID#989 8458 7392\n\nPlease note:\nBefore entering any U-M building\, all visitors\, contractors and vendors are required to complete a preliminary health screening via the guest version of ResponsiBLUE.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CSAS Lecture | Scaffolding of the Rule of Law: Legal Violence\, Policing\, and Scientific Interrogations in India
DESCRIPTION:On Aug 8\, 2021\, the Chief Justice of India stated: “The threat to human rights and bodily integrity are the highest in Police Stations. Custodial torture and other police atrocities are problems that still prevail in our society\,” thereby reiterating the need to focus on how police violence and torture exist in democracies. This talk will broadly be based on Lokaneeta’s recent book *The Truth Machines: Policing\, Violence\, and Scientific Interrogations in India* (Univ of Michigan\,2020). The book explores the workings of law\, science\, and policing in the everyday context to generate a theory of state power and legal violence\, challenging the monolithic frameworks about this relationship. Based on cases and interviews with lawyers\, police\, and forensic psychologies in five Indian cities\, Lokaneeta provides insights into a police institution that is founded and refounded in its everyday interactions between state and non-state actors. The postcolonial Indian police have often been accused of using torture in both routine and exceptional criminal cases\, but they\, and forensic psychologists\, have claimed that lie detectors\, brain scans\, and narcoanalysis (the use of “truth serum\,” Sodium Pentothal) represent a paradigm shift away from physical torture\; most state high courts in India have upheld this rationale. Attention to truth machines reveals the texture of violence experienced by certain sections of the population\, even under the rule of law\, especially in terror related cases. Jinee Lokaneeta argues that the attempt to replace physical torture with truth machines in India fails because it relies on a confessional paradigm that is contiguous with torture. Theorizing a concept of Contingent State\, this book demonstrates the disaggregated\, and decentered nature of state power and legal violence\, creating possible sites of critique and intervention.\n\nJinee Lokaneeta is Chair and Professor in Political Science and International Relations at Drew University\, New Jersey. She did her Ph.D. in Political Science from University of Southern California\, Los Angeles. She completed her bachelors\, masters & Mphil at Delhi University & taught at Kirori Mal College. Her areas of interest include Law and Violence\, Critical Political and Legal Theory\, Human Rights & Interdisciplinary Legal Studies. Her most recent book *The Truth Machines: Policing\, Violence\, and Scientific Interrogations in India *(University of Michigan Press\, Orient Blackswan\, 2020) was the co-winner of the C. Herman Pritchett Award from the Law and Courts Section of the American Political Science Association. She is the author of *Transnational Torture: Law\, Violence\, and State Power in the United States and India* (New York University Press\, 2011\, Orient Blackswan 2012) and the co-editor with Nivedita Menon and Sadhna Arya of *Feminist Politics: Struggles and Issues*. Delhi: Hindi Medium Directorate\, 2001. She has published articles in *Economic and Political Weekly\, Theory and Event\, Law\, Culture & Humanities*\, and *Studies in Law\, Politics & Society*. \n\nPlease register in advance for this zoom webinar here: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEtcO-vqzwoHNbt--pNRbYvFEyhlC5sHxSo\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:“Songs As Unique Artefacts of Cultural Layers: The Legacy of a Misunderstood Troubadour  ” - Manuel Pedro Ferreira
DESCRIPTION:Professor\, Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas\, Universidade Nova de Lisboa)\n\nSongs As Unique Artefacts of Cultural Layers: The Legacy of a Misunderstood Troubadour  \n \nThis talk will focus on songs by Alfonso X (1221-1284)\, King of Castile and León\, as unique artefacts that reveal multiple layers of courtly\, urban\, and sacred culture.  Alfonso devised hundreds of Cantigas de Santa Maria to fuel his larger political aspirations and engage productively with aspects of the surrounding Arab-Andalusian civilization.  He was a descendent of two Iberian dynasties\, but also related to the Roman-Germanic and Byzantine emperors\, as well as the Kings of England and France.  Notably\, he was a great-great-grandson of the first known troubadour\, William\, the 9th Duke of Aquitaine.  The language of courtly song in most of the Iberian Peninsula during the thirteenth century was Galician-Portuguese.  What is often overlooked is that King Alfonso was perhaps the leading Galician-Portuguese troubadour of his era.  He embarked on his most significant\, innovative\, and enduring personal project when in his forties and residing in or near Seville in Southern Spain.  Embracing devotional song\, he substituted the Virgin Mary for the idealized earthly ladies typically desired and praised by the troubadours.\n\n\nWatch via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/98113406630  passcode 092205
