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.

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.

Through research and active engagement\, it aims to encourage the study of engineering and allied subjects and drive curriculum innovations to help create the next generation of engineering graduates needed to address complex global challenges. The Centre for Engineering Education is heavily involved in the running and dissemination of UCL Engineering's Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP) – one of the four case studies described in the MIT report “Reimagining and rethinking engineering education” – a pedagogical framework by which undergraduate students study using innovative and interdisciplinary approaches. In this session\, I will focus on CEE’s research with IEP students and recent graduates to understand their experiences in the programme. Findings suggest gender differences in the awareness of the societal impact of engineering\, and that communication skills are essential to engineering practice. Finally\, I will highlight contributions for future longitudinal research on engineering student learning and career pathways in the UK.\n\nRegister here: tinyurl.com/eerseminar-direito UID:89044-21660326@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/89044 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Civil and Environmental Engineering,Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering,Diversity Equity And Inclusion,Education,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Industrial and Operations Engineering,Lecture,Mechanical Engineering,Michigan Engineering,Michigan Robotics,Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering,Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences,Psychology,Research,Stem LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220103T181523 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211201T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211201T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Envision: The Michigan Artist Initiative DESCRIPTION:Exhibition: Nov 12\, 2021 - January 22\, 2022\nPublic Opening and Award Ceremony: November 12\, 2021\nOrganized by Stamps Gallery\, Envision: The Michigan Artist Initiative is a new awards program designed to support the development of contemporary artists living and working in Michigan.

Neo-nationalism and De-democratization in Hungary: Anti-Gender Policies and the Politics of Resentment DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Register at: https://myumi.ch/yKeER\n\nFor over a decade in Hungary\, the FIDESZ government of Viktor Orban has pursued the making of an “illiberal” democracy. During this period\, CREES has sponsored lectures on events in Hungary\, including Hungary’s outsized influence on populist and far-right movements elsewhere in Europe and more recently in the United States. Today’s roundtable continues this conversation with the work of two Hungarian anthropologists\, Violetta Zentai and Margit Feischmidt. Each will briefly discuss aspects of their current work investigating contemporary Hungary under the Orban regime and then open the discussion to questions from the audience. The roundtable will be moderated by professor of anthropology and CREES faculty associate Krisztina Fehervary.\n\nProfessor Zentai will provide an overview from her work on the “anti-gender” political discourses propagated by the current authoritarian-populist regime\, and its linkages to de-democratization in the region. Anti-gender discourses not only embrace sexist\, homophobic\, and anti-gender-equality reasoning\, but help enact a nativist and biopolitical right-wing social imagination. She will address the transnational sources of this discourse as well as how it is used by home-grown actors to normalize and make respectable forms of discrimination that were once considered populist\, backwards\, and exclusionary.\n\nProfessor Feischmidt’s presentation will draw on a larger project undertaken to understand the cultural logic and social support of new forms of nationalism in Hungary. Here\, she will discuss political elites who have fostered the contemporary “Trianon Cult\,” a new phenomenon of collective mourning for losses suffered a century ago in the Treaty of Trianon (1920). This “view from above” will be complemented with a “view from below\,” by examining the meanings that audiences give to these newly-constructed collective memories. The argument of the paper is that while the Trianon-cult invokes a historical trauma\, it in fact speaks to current feelings of loss and resentment.\n \n\nMargit Feischmidt is a research professor at the Research Centre for Social Sciences\, Hungarian Academy of Sciences Centre of Excellence\, where she leads the Department for Sociology and Anthropology in Minority Studies. She is also the editor-in-chief of *Intersections. East European Journal of Society and Politics *and professor of communication and media studies\, University of Pécs. With a doctoral degree from Humboldt University\, she works on issues of migration\, nationalism\, ethnicity and minorities in East-Central Europe. Her first important publication was *Nationalist Politics and Everyday Ethnicity in a Transylvanian Town* (2006\, Princeton University Press) co-authored by Brubaker\, Fox and Grancea. After years working mainly on Roma and immigrant minorities in the region\, she currently investigates new forms of nationalism\, racism and the far-right. Her most recent edited book (with Pries and Cantat) is on civic forms of solidarity (*Refugee Protection and Civil Society in Europe*\, Palgrave Macmillan\, 2019).\n \nVioletta Zentai is a social anthropologist\, associate professor in the Department of Public Policy\, recurring visiting faculty in the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology\, and research fellow at the Democracy Institute of Central European University\, Budapest-Vienna. Her research focuses on ethnic and gender in/equalities\, post-socialist socio-economic transformations\, European social inclusion policies\, and pro-equality civil society formations. She also worked with the Open Society Foundations for two decades. She co-leads a multi-year project titled Roma Civil Monitor with the participation of 90+ NGOs. Her publications include: *A Reflexive History of the Romani Women’s Movement: Struggles and Debates in Central and Eastern Europe*.

While iterative plurality has been shown to only return alternatives with at most one less initial vote than the truthful winner\, it is less understood how agents’ welfare changes in equilibrium. To this end\, we differentiate agents’ utility from their manipulation mechanism and determine iterative plurality’s ADPoA in the worst- and average-cases. We first prove that the worst-case ADPoA is linear in the number of agents. To overcome this negative result\, we study the average-case ADPoA and prove that equilibrium winners have a constant order welfare advantage over the truthful winner in expectation. Our positive results illustrate the prospect for social welfare to increase due to strategic manipulation.\n\n*Speaker Bio*\nJoshua Kavner is a doctoral student in the computer science department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

He has been at Michigan since 2005\, where he returned after serving as an assistant professor at the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania from 2000-2005.\n\nCOMBINING PROBABILITY NON-PROBABILITY SAMPLES\nAlthough probability sample designs remain a “gold standard” in survey research\, demand for use of non-probability samples is increasing\, due to\, among other reasons\, rising costs and falling response rates in probability samples and the availability of “big data” from administrative databases\, social media users\, and other sources. Design-based inference\, in which the distribution for inference is generated by the random mechanism used by the sampler\, cannot be used for non-probability samples. If probability and non-probability samples are available that target the same population\, the probability sample can be used to account for possible selection bias if there are sufficient overlapping covariates even if the outcome is not available in the probability sample. One approach is “quasi-randomization” in which pseudo-inclusion probabilities are estimated based on covariates available for samples and nonsample units. An extension of this uses a model to predict values for the outcome in the probability sample\, yielding a “doubly robust” estimator that consistent estimates target population quantities if either the pseudo-inclusion probabilities or outcome model is correct. I will overview these approaches\, with a focus on using Bayesian additive regression tree to reduce model misspecification\, and apply results to “naturalistic” driving studies that use volunteer samples to follow long-term driving behavior.

Realizing these lofty goals will require low-dimensional crystals whose size\, shape\, structure\, and composition can be tailored to atomic levels of precision. Chemistry will play a vital role in creating these crystalline building blocks of quantum matter. In this vein\, the Kempa group has focused on the precision synthesis of 2-dimensional (2D) materials to harness quantum phenomena. Our work with 2D atomic lattices and 2D molecular frameworks has revealed that even subtle manipulations of the dimensionality and morphology of these materials yield substantial property changes. Notably\, we can dramatically manipulate the structure of 2D transition-metal dichalcogenides by\ngrowing them on chemically tailored surfaces. The resulting nanoribbons emit light whose energy and profile show an unusual progression with crystal size. Seeking to expand the 2D materials landscape\, we have also prepared and examined new 2D molecular frameworks. Reversible phase switching can be induced in these frameworks with concomitant modulation of electronic transport. Our efforts underscore the importance of rational synthesis in building low-dimensional materials that enable new discoveries and advance the fields of optics\, electronics\, energy conversion\, and quantum sensing.\nThomas Kempa (Johns Hopkins University) UID:89132-21660579@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/89132 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220621T152447 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211201T121500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211201T124500 SUMMARY:Well-being:VIRTUAL | CEW+Inspire Midweek Mindfulness-Guided Sit DESCRIPTION:As part of the CEW+Inspire initiative\, CEW+ holds mindful meditation sits virtually on Wednesdays at 12:15.\n\nRSVP here to receive the Zoom link: https://myumi.ch/r8zv7\n\nMindfulness Meditation is a skill that can be learned and when practiced has the power to enhance a sense of wellbeing\, focus\, and interconnectedness. As we all continue to navigate uncertainty and challenges that are inherent in the act of being human\, we benefit from and are grateful for diverse cultures and traditions across the globe. Collectively they have passed on a wide variety of contemplative practices that encourage reflection\, silence\, and centering into the present moment to help us cope and better respond. Engaging in contemplative practices support the individual\, by cultivating a sense of awareness and well-being\, and benefit society by enhancing one’s capacity to create connection and community\, and to become an agent of positive social change. There are many forms of contemplative practices\, including meditation. Mindfulness meditation is one form aimed to help focus our awareness on the present moment as it unfolds\, moment to moment\, without judgment. Research on mindfulness continues to find a wide range of benefits. In short\, Mindfulness may be viewed as cognitive training that bolsters our ability to handle stress\, poor mood\, and threat. It also increases our capacity to focus our attention on what is most important to us and to be more compassionate to ourselves and to others.\n\nOn Wednesdays from 12:15 - 12:45 pm\, we come together in community to practice this skill in an open and supportive virtual space. Whether you are new to mindfulness meditation or are an experienced practitioner each session is designed to offer guidance and support to assist you. Join this supportive community and experience the gift of present moment awareness.

However\, reaching and exploring the underwater environments of these alien worlds is a task with immense challenges. Unlike terrestrial based missions\, the exploration of ocean worlds necessitates robots which are capable of fully automated operation. These robots must rely on local sensors to interpret the scene\, plan their motions\, and complete their mission tasks. Manipulation tasks\, such as sample collection\, are particularly challenging in underwater environments\, where the manipulation platform is mobile\, and the environment is unstructured. \n\nThis dissertation addresses some of the challenges in visual scene understanding to support autonomous manipulation with underwater vehicle manipulator systems (UVMSs). The developed visual methods are demonstrated with a lightweight vision system\, composed of a vehicle mounted stereo pair and a manipulator wrist mounted fisheye camera\, that can be easily integrated on existing UVMSs. While the stereo camera primarily supports 3D reconstruction of the manipulator working area\, the wrist mounted camera enables dynamic viewpoint acquisition for detecting objects\, such as tools\, and extending the scene reconstruction beyond the fixed stereo view. An objective of this dissertation was also to apply deep learning based visual methods to the underwater domain. While deep learning has greatly advanced the state-of-the-art in terrestrial based visual methods across diverse applications\, the challenges of accessing the underwater environment and collecting underwater datasets for training these methods has hindered progress in advancing visual methods for underwater applications. \n\nFollowing is an overview of the contributions made by this dissertation. The first contribution is a novel deep learning method for object detection and pose estimation from monocular images. The second contribution is a general framework for adapting monocular image-based pose estimation networks to work on full fisheye or omni-directional images with minimal modification to the network architecture. The third contribution is a visual SLAM method designed for UVMSs that fuses features from both the wrist mounted fisheye camera and the vehicle mounted stereo pair into the same map\, where the map scale is constrained by the stereo features\, and the wrist camera can actively extend the map beyond the limited stereo view. The fourth contribution is an open-source tool to aid the design of underwater camera and lighting systems. The fifth contribution is an autonomy framework for UVMS manipulator control and the vision system that was used throughout this dissertation work\, along with experimental results from field trials in natural deep ocean environments\, including an active submarine volcano in the Mediterranean basin. This chapter also describes the collection and processing of underwater datasets\, captured with our vision system in these natural deep ocean environments. These datasets supported the development of the visual methods contributed by this dissertation.

Galaxy surveys\, which observe the positions and shapes of galaxies across large areas of the sky\, are able to map a significant fraction of our cosmic volume\, providing one of the most powerful probes of the Universe. I will describe how we use millions (or billions) of galaxies to measure both galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing\, and how we learn about the Universe by analyzing these statistics. A significant challenge is that most of the Universe is “dark\,” and we must infer from the roughly 5% visible fraction what the remaining 95% is doing. I will focus on the current state of the art\, the Year 3 cosmology results from the Dark Energy Survey. I will also preview the exciting future of the field\, with the Rubin Observatory and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. \n UID:89471-21663196@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/89471 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211021T145535 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211201T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211201T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics Weekly Seminar DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nEpigenetic control of gene expression is highly cell-type- and context-specific. Yet\, despite its complexity\, gene regulatory logic can be broken down into modular components consisting of a transcription factor (TF) activating or repressing the expression of a target gene through its binding to a cis-regulatory region. Recent advances in joint profiling of transcription and chromatin accessibility with single-cell resolution offer unprecedented opportunities to interrogate such regulatory logic. Here\, we propose a nonparametric approach\, TRIPOD\, to detect and characterize three-way relationships between a TF\, its target gene\, and the accessibility of the TF’s binding site\, using single-cell RNA and ATAC multiomic data. We apply TRIPOD to interrogate cell-type-specific regulatory logic in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and contrast our results to detections from enhancer databases\, cis-eQTL studies\, ChIP-seq experiments\, and TF knockdown/knockout studies. We then apply TRIPOD to mouse embryonic brain data during neurogenesis and gliogenesis and identified known and novel putative regulatory relationships\, validated by ChIP-seq and PLAC-seq. Finally\, we demonstrate TRIPOD on SHARE-seq data of differentiating mouse hair follicle cells and identify lineage-specific regulation supported by histone marks for gene activation and super-enhancer annotations.\n\nHosted by: Joshua Welch\, PhD\n\nSpeaker will be in-person and the seminar will be live-streamed via Zoom.\n\nZoom: https://umich-health.zoom.us/j/93929606089?pwd=SHh6R1FOQm8xMThRemdxTEFMWWpVdz09 UID:88514-21654664@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/88514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Cardiovascular,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Environment,Free,Holiday,Human Genetics,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Mathematics,Medicine,Pediatrics,Physics,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall, 4th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211130T132325 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211201T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211201T172000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Macroeconomics and Labor Joint Seminar: DESCRIPTION:Details to come.
