SUMMARY:Exhibition:Harbingers of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Born in 1945\, artist\, educator\, and mentor Teresa Tolliver has lived and worked in South Central L.A. for three decades. In 2022\, she opened her first one-woman show at the prominent Sebastian Gladstone Gallery. Most recently\, her work has been chosen for inclusion as part of L.A.’s Hammer Museum Biennial\, which runs concurrently with her exhibition Harbingers of Dreams in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery.\n\nTolliver refers to her process as “creative recycling”: forging found and thrifted materials\, and repurposing them. These frenetic bundles of coils\, adornments\, wires\, and loose ends express the artist’s feelings\, perspectives\, and everyday way of living.\n\nEarlier works of the artist are on a smaller scale and doll-like. They are intimate\, imaginative references to Tolliver’s own girlhood in a world lacking adequate or authentic representations of Black life.\n\nTolliver’s more recent figurative assemblages are life-size\, larger-than-life\, looming. They command space and celebrate it. There is an inherent connection between these sculptures and the long-established history of African American yard art\, where plants\, statuary\, and artistic creations communicate themes of personal space\, freedom of expression\, and dreams of independence. Tolliver’s bold visual choices and material combinations are refusals of outside value judgments and hierarchies.\n\nWhen visiting artist Teresa Tolliver's home studio\, one expects the figures will spring to life\, otherworldly. They seem to gather and congregate. There are no distractions from the outside\, save the light coming through the window. Through subtle details like molding\, furniture\, and drawers inspired by Tolliver’s own domestic space\, Harbingers of Dreams attempts to capture the resplendent and spiritual nature of such a visit\, with the opportunity to sit among the artist’s creations.\n\nTolliver’s figurative sculptures appear as embodiments of the city of L.A. and its diverse communities and neighborhoods. They are assemblages of disparate influences\, esthetics\, and materials: prefab\, handmade\, urban\, nostalgic\, opulent\, functional\, garish\, and celestial. A visual cacophony of colors\, influences\, designs\, and forms\, each figure beckons us towards futures in the making.\n\nTeresa Tolliver is the Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts at the Institute for the Humanities. This event is part of the LSA's fall 2023 Arts & Resistance theme semester.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Manga no Ryokou: The “Manga Map” and A Journey Through the Art of Depiction in Japanese Cartography
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit examines the intersection between art\, narrative\, and geography within Japanese cartography. It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shadow and Light : Solidarity and Connection with Iraqi Academics
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit incorporates a selection of work from the Shadow and Light project\, an initiative memorializing Iraqi academics assassinated between 2003-2013\, a timeframe which roughly parallels the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq. \n\nParticipants from around the world — including Iraqis in diaspora — contributed photographs and personal statements responding to the loss of a particular Iraqi academic listed by the Spanish Campaign against the Occupation and for the Sovereignty of Iraq (La Campaña Estatal contra la Ocupación y por la Soberanía de Iraq / IraqSolidaridad 2005-2013). \n\nThe project emerges from a broader effort undertaken by Iraqis and allies to document the assault on Iraqi scholars\, intellectuals\, and cultural institutions which flared in the wake of the destruction and division wrought by the US-led invasion and occupation. Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War
DESCRIPTION:*Presented in association with UMS*.\n\nIn Guardian Passage\, artists Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova employ the tools and imagery of traditional Ukrainian art forms to face down the existential threat brought about by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Bondarenko’s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko’s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war\; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats\, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova’s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage\, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline\, red thread connects these projects\, weaving through clay and fabric\, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on “Arts and Resistance.”\n\nIrina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist\, a native of Ukraine\, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan. Irina has been with the University of Michigan Biostatistics Department for more than 20 years. and published over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Along with her career at the School of Public Health\, for the last 10 years Irina has been pursuing her interest in ceramics. Her work was featured in over a dozen national shows\, the 24th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition\, and the “Strictly Functional Pottery National Show” in 2021 and 2022\, and\, most recently\, the Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum.\n\nArtist website: https://www.ibondceramics.com/\n\nKatya Lisova is an artist\, designer\, and art historian. Born in Kyiv\, she is a graduate of the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk (2009) and the National Academy of Cultural and Artistic Leaders (2018). Since 2019 she has been teaching at the Kyiv State Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk. Her work is in the field of artistic textiles and digital graphics. She is also the art director of the “Ukrainian Unofficial” research project\, which compiles archives of Ukrainian unofficial art of the second half of the twentieth century.\n\nArtist website: https://www.flickr.com/photos/196914550@N02/albums\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Illustrating the Renaissance Book: From Illumination to Woodcut
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a selection of manuscripts and early printed books from the 15th to the 17th centuries that were illustrated with illuminations and woodcuts. Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sarah Buckius: !!!techn010ffspring!!!
DESCRIPTION:Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance\, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology\, robotics\, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women\, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves. \nTrained as an engineer and an artist\, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex\, layered\, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving\, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood\, technology\, female bodies\, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to\, and alternative to\, patriarchal\, capitalist\, production-based\, and seemingly rational\, useful\, logical systems. \n“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” is open for viewing M-F\, 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.\nThis  project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Featured Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:Featuring work by Gina Gibson\, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

DESCRIPTION:Stop by the Collections Case display in the museum’s main atrium\, behind the mastodons\, to see Nature’s Pharmacy.\n\nAugust 2023–July 2024\n\nPlants and fungi play a vital role in medicine due to the diversity of chemical defense mechanisms they evolved to safeguard them against pathogens\, herbivores\, and competitors. From its inception\, the U-M Herbarium has cataloged and described plants—both poisonous and beneficial to human health—and still serves that role today. See specimens of these plant and fungal “friends” and “foes” from the U-M Herbarium collection and learn about how the collection is used for drug discovery today.

DESCRIPTION:Stop by the Student Showcase display in the museum’s main atrium\, behind the mastodons\, to see Molecules of Life.\n\nAugust 2023–July 2024\n\nMolecules of Life (Student Showcase)\nDiscover the connection between form and function as you explore the molecular building blocks of life. In the realm of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids\, form determines function\, so visualizing the three-dimensional structures of molecules is key in researching the ‘tiny’ macromolecules that perform vital functions in our cells. In Biophysics 421\, under the guidance of Markos Koutmos\, Assistant Professor of Biophysics & Chemistry\, and Liz Tidwell\, PhD candidate in Biophysics\, students created models with digital modeling software and brought them to life via 3D printing. This exhibit showcases the 3D printed molecules\, scaled up to better reveal the structures that inform\, make\, break\, modify\, and move within the body.

How have today’s humanist disciplines in the academy been influenced by a scholarly generation radicalized as part of late-1960s insurgent movements (and by a secondary generation schooled by that one)?\n\nCirca 1950\, “the intellectuals” as a social phenomenon\, whether “critical” or conformist\, absorbed a great deal of attention—just as “intellectual history” stood as a prominent part of the historical discipline.  Now\, hardly anyone will talk of “the intellectuals” as a group\, stratum\, or role-carriers of a distinct sort.  Within the academy\, talk of “intellectuals” has devolved into a placid appreciation of “public intellectuals\,” or those whom administrators value for “engaged scholarship.” But what of the “radical left” in the sense suggested by Howard Brick and Christopher Phelps’s Radicals in America: The U.S. Left since the Second World War: a variegated\, concrete social current of dissent in the United States\, from the time of the Abolitionists (circa 1830) to the present\, identified with radical visions of new\, dramatically transformed social relations characterized by wide-ranging emancipation\, equality\, and democratic participation in collective self-government?\n\nThis conference asks for a new approach to an old question regarding intellectuals and politics:  To what extent has there been an identifiable left-wing intellectual tradition within and/or without the more general mainstream sense of an “American intellectual tradition”?  And insofar as we can locate such\, to what extent has it been historically significant—significant\, that is\, in terms beyond the high-cultural virtue of contributing to knowledge but in an effectual sense of helping to shape (as it is shaped by) human action generally\, its structures\, conflicts\, and development? And finally\, what can we say\, historically\, about the practical impact or efficacy of this radical left intellectual tradition/lineage over time or at particular moments?\n\n\nFull Program:\n1014 Tisch Hall\n\nThursday\, October 5\, 2023\n\n1 pm		Opening Reception\n\n2-3:30 pm	Panel 1: A Heritage of Antiracist and Anticolonial Agitation\n  \nJay Cook (University of Michigan): “Rethinking Ira Aldridge: Actor of Color\, Global Star\, Insurgent Intellectual\, and the Most Widely-Seen Abolitionist of the Nineteenth Century”\nMary Kelley (University of Michigan): “Journey in and through Women’s and Gender History”\nAnthony Mora (University of Michigan): “Mexican Heroes in U.S. Imaginations”\n\n4-5:30 pm	Keynote Address\nNelson Lichtenstein (UC-Santa Barbara): “What is a Labor Intellectual?”\n\nFriday\, October 6\, 2023\n\n10:30-12 pm	Panel 2: Prologue to the 20th-Century Left and the Emergence of Modern “Intellectuals” \n  \nJulie Greene (University of Maryland): “The Wages of Empire: U.S. Workers Confront Global Capitalism”\nEileen Boris (UC-Santa Barbara): “Emma Goldman’s ‘The Traffic in Women’ Revisited: Sex Work\, Sweatshops\, and Discourses of Slavery”\nKevin Gaines (University of Virginia): “Du Bois\, the Black Left\, and Black Radicalism”\n\n1:30-3 pm	Panel 3: Radical Intellectuals over the Course of the “Old Left” \n  \nCasey Blake (Columbia University): “Paul Goodman: Drawing the Line\, Again and Again”\nAlan Wald (University of Michigan): “Paradigm Dramas in U.S. Literary Radicalism”\nPenny Von Eschen (University of Virginia): “Before the New Left: Anticolonial Intellectuals and the Non-Aligned Imagination”\n\n3:30-5 pm	Panel 4: The New Left and Beyond: Whither the Radicals of ’68?  \n \nAlice Echols (University of Southern California): “Paths to ‘68: ‘Organize Around Your Own Oppression’”\nChristian Davenport (University of Michigan): \"Mapping the DeMarketplace of Ideas: Introducing Ptolemy with Selected Applications Across Time\"\nDaniel Geary (Trinity College Dublin): “Radical Chic?: The Left-Liberal Revival of the 1960s and 1970s”\n \n5:15-6:30	Panel 5: Capital and Critique (Toward a Social-Intellectual History of the Radical Left) \n \nMargaret Somers (University of Michigan)\nGreg Parker (University of Michigan)\nGeoff Eley (University of Michigan)\nDavid Spreen (Harvard University)\nDan Borus (University of Rochester)\nJames Maffie (University of Maryland)

Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact kimjulie@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.\n\nSidik Fofana is a graduate of NYU’s MFA program and a public school teacher in Brooklyn. His work has appeared in the *Sewanee Review* and *Granta.* He was also named a fellow at the Center for Fiction in 2018. His debut short story collection was published by Scribner in August 2022.\n\nSet in a Harlem high rise\, *Stories from the Tenants Downstair*s is a stunning debut about a tight-knit cast of characters grappling with their own personal challenges while the forces of gentrification threaten to upend life as they know it.\n\nLike Gloria Naylor’s *The Women of Brewster Place* and Lin Manuel Miranda’s *In the Heights\,* Sidik Fofana’s electrifying collection of eight interconnected stories showcases the strengths\, struggles\, and hopes of one residential community in a powerful storytelling experience.\n\nEach short story follows a tenant in the Banneker Homes\, a low-income high rise in Harlem where gentrification weighs on everyone’s mind. There is Swan in apartment 6B\, whose excitement about his friend’s release from prison jeopardizes the life he’s been trying to lead. Mimi\, in apartment 14D\, who hustles to raise the child she had with Swan\, waitressing at Roscoe’s and doing hair on the side. And Quanneisha B. Miles\, a former gymnast with a good education who wishes she could leave Banneker for good\, but can’t seem to escape the building’s gravitational pull. We root for these characters and more as they weave in and out of each other’s lives\, endeavoring to escape from their pasts and blaze new paths forward for themselves and the people they love.\n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Anne van Delft\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Statistics\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  We introduce a new framework to analyze shape descriptors that capture the geometric features of an ensemble of point clouds. At the core of our approach is the point of view that the data arises as sampled recordings from a metric\nspace-valued stochastic process\, possibly of nonstationary nature\, thereby integrating geometric data analysis into the realm of functional time series analysis. We focus on the descriptors coming from topological data analysis. Our framework allows for natural incorporation of spatial-temporal dynamics\, heterogeneous sampling\, and the study of convergence rates. Further\, we derive complete invariants for classes of metric space-valued stochastic processes in the spirit of Gromov\, and relate these invariants to so-called ball volume processes. Under mild dependence conditions\, a weak invariance principle in $D([0\,1]\times [0\,\mathscr{R}])$ is established for sequential empirical versions of the latter\, assuming the probabilistic structure possibly changes over time. Finally\, we use this result to introduce novel test statistics for\ntopological change\, which are distribution free in the limit under the hypothesis of stationarity. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.01984.pdf\n\n\nhttps://sites.google.com/view/anne-van-delft/home

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Blessings of the Mystery
DESCRIPTION:The Blessings of the Mystery examines themes of socio-economic\, environmental activism\, encounters between history and memory\, Indigenous rights\, and the formation and distribution of knowledge. The exhibition examines the Amistad Dam in Del Rio\, the largest dam in Rio Grande that is jointly managed by the United States and Mexico and other contested sites in the region to unravel layered histories\, connections\, and tensions present in West Texas through film\, sculpture\, installation\, collage\, and drawing. \nThe experimental documentary film Teaching of the Hands is the center point of the exhibition - as it combines oral histories\, reenactments\, and archival footage to narrate a complex history of colonization\, migration\, and ecological precarity\, Told from the perspective of Juan Mancias\, Chairman of the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas\, scenes from the present day are woven together with those from 4\,000 years in the past to investigate the transformation of Somi Se’k* by way of industry\, infrastructure\, and private property. \nEmerging from the research to create the film\, the exhibition includes an immersive installation of surveying flags and tools\, series of drawings and collages\, and a collection of original watercolors from the 1930s by artists and amateur archaeologists Forrest and Lula Kirkland that depict the ancient rock art of the Lower Pecos\,that expand on concepts in The Teachings of the Hands. The watercolors\, rarely seen plein air paintings\, are on loan from the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory at the University of Texas\, and document the original forms and vibrant colors of murals that were still visible in the 1930s before flooding\, erosion\, and human interaction damaged or destroyed them. This exhibition has been shown in various iterations at Ballroom Marfa\, the University of Texas at Austin\, the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts\, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and will be shown in Michigan and the midwest for the first time. The Blessings of the Mystery brings together an expansive body of work that sheds light on vital histories\, living memories and Indigenous knowledge-systems embedded within the land well before the colonial boundaries between Mexico and the US were established - advocating for environmental justice and recognition of Indigenous rights and cosmologies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:From Oscillations to Chaos: In Search of Attractor States on the Cortex of Living Cells
DESCRIPTION:Periodic wave patterns are widely observed in oscillatory or excitable chemical systems and in multicellular systems. More recently\, waves of cortical activity\, linked to actin dynamics in many cases\, have been documented in a variety of single-cell systems\, including various immune cell types. I will discuss our understanding of the pattern formation mechanisms on the cortical region of mast cells\, including the molecular definitions underlying a number of wave characteristics. These spatial and temporal patterns represent attractor states in dynamical systems\, which describe the trajectory a system gravitates towards depending on the network topology\, control parameter\, and sometimes initial conditions. We are particularly interested in applying this dynamical framework to understand lipid metabolism\, actin dynamics and signal transduction that controls fundamental cell biological processes such as mitosis.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Third World Feminism and the Crisis of Authoritarianism
DESCRIPTION:As a part of the Global South Gender and Sexuality Studies Collective Series\, Professor Durba Mitra (Harvard) will be giving a talk titled \"Third World Feminism and the Crisis of Authoritarianism\".\n\nAbstract: This talk offers a glimpse into the vast intellectual history of Third World feminisms in the decolonizing world in the 1970s and 1980s. I critically engage the possibilities and limits of the feminist epistemological revolution that emerged in the dark shadow of an earlier era of utopian internationalism\, globalism\, and non-alignment of the 1950s and 1960s. Third World feminists created a new internationalist imaginary in response to widespread disenchantment in the decolonizing world with the nationalist project and rising neocolonial governments bolstered by economic and military interventions. Women seized the means of knowledge production\, critiquing postcolonial inequality and rising authoritarianisms by imagining radically just visions of the future.  \n\nSpeaker Bio: Durba Mitra is Associate Professor of Women\, Gender and Sexuality at Harvard University and author of Indian Sex Life: Sexuality and the Colonial Origins of Modern Social Thought (Princeton University Press\, 2020). Mitra works on the history of sexuality and epistemology in South Asia and the comparative colonial and post-colonial world. Mitra’s current book project\, The Future That Was: Feminist Thought in the Decolonizing World\,  analyzes the history of Third World feminist thought and South-South solidarity networks.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Afterthought: Remembering a Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition: \nIn “Half-Built House\,” Brazilian-American artist Laura Taylor grieves the loss of her childhood  friend Tina to COVID. When COVID took Tina’s life\, Taylor started ordering identical versions  of their childhood games and toys on eBay. As she assembled these objects\, Taylor recalled  a memory of climbing with Tina through the skeletal frameworks of unfinished houses in the 1970s. Late at night\, the girls would pick their way through floorless rooms and speculate  about their future inhabitants. In this spirit of imaginative experimentation\, Taylor began  taking apart her eBay acquisitions. Gathering\, breaking\, sawing\, splicing\, painting\, gluing\,  layering\, and reassembling these toys became\, for her\, a way to probe the complicated  nature of a lost friendship and to explore the multidimensional nature of grief. Ultimately\,  Taylor built the framework of an unfinished house to evoke those she once explored with  Tina. Taylor describes the house as a “container for grief.” \n\nSeptember 28 - October 27 \nOpening & Reception: September 28\, 1-3pm \nGalleryDAAS  \n\nAbout this series of events: \nArt & Resistance Fall 2023 Theme Semester Programming \nSponsored by Arts Initiative\, UMMA\, American Culture\, Latina/o Studies\, the Department of Film\,  Television and Media & the Museum Studies Program \nPresented by Charlotte Juergens\, 2nd year Ph.D. student in American Culture \nhttp://bit.ly/UMafterthought

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Identity Polarization in Organizations: Causes\, Potential Solutions and Research Agenda
DESCRIPTION:It should perhaps come as no surprise that the identity polarization around socio-cultural issues currently roiling many countries have found their way into business and other organizations. In the U.S.\, for example\, conflicts over religious practices have been on the rise since 9/11\; and following the 2016 election\, human resource (HR) managers began noticing increasing workplace friction over matters of politics. Such polarization may also be triggered as organizations increasingly take on (at various levels of engagement) issues related to the “#MeToo” and “Black Lives Matter” movements\, LGBTQIA+ and voting rights\, as well as issues of climate change. Although taking such stands are sometimes embraced by employees –indeed\, Gartner HR Research (2021) finds 68% of employees would consider leaving their organization for one that took a stronger stance on socio-cultural issues –as organizational engagement with these issues has increased\, so too have examples of internal conflicts characterized by disgust and antipathy between groups and intense infighting within them. Although organizational engagement with issues has long been found to trigger identity dynamics\, what is different about these socio-cultural issues is that have become moralized – that is\, framed in terms of morally right versus wrong. Building on research on moralization and identity\, I will discuss research with my co-authors (Luke Hedden and Hamza Kahn) that explains how such issues enter the workplace\, and how an organizations’ engagement with moralized issues can spur unique identity dynamics. These unique identity dynamics include the display of moral emotions (e.g.\, disgust) toward opposing (and disinterested) groups\, and derogation of ingroup members who do not agree strongly enough the group’s stance. I will elaborate new theory at the group level regarding the nature of such intergroup and intragroup identity polarization dynamics\, as well as their unique consequences for organizations. In doing so\, I explain how moralized issues alter traditional identity processes in organizations and why novel solutions are required to manage them. Finally\, I will propose some potential solutions to help organizations alleviate the negative effects of moralized identity conflicts and lay out an agenda for future research.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Axionic blue isocurvature perturbations and their forecast using EFTofLSS
DESCRIPTION:Large blue-tilted axionic isocurvature perturbations can arise when the axion sector is significantly out of equilibrium during inflation. Given that future galaxy surveys are probing shorter length scales with greater accuracy\, blue isocurvature perturbations are natural targets for these surveys.\nIn this talk\, we will first discuss the strongly blue tilted (nI~4) axionic isocurvature perturbations that are generated when the quantum oscillator modes are starting to be underdamped. Interestingly\, there exist parametric regions with strong resonant spectral behavior that lead to diverse isocurvature spectral shapes and large amplitude enhancements of O(10-1000). Next\, we will present Fisher forecasts for the Euclid and MegaMapper experiments in their ability to detect the CDM blue isocurvature signal. Some interesting features that arise in the EFTofLSS and bias expansion due to the blueness of the isocurvature spectrum will also be discussed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar / MCAIM Colloquium:  From Classical Regression to the Modern Regime: Surprises for Linear Least Squares Problems
DESCRIPTION:Linear regression is a problem that has been extensively studied. However\, modern machine learning has brought to light many new and exciting phenomena due to overparameterization. In this talk\, I briefly introduce the new phenomena observed in recent years. Then\, building on this\, I present recent theory work on linear denoising. Despite the importance of denoising in modern machine learning and ample empirical work on supervised denoising\, its theoretical understanding is still relatively scarce. One concern about studying supervised denoising is that one might not always have noiseless training data from the test distribution. It is more reasonable to have access to noiseless training data from a different dataset than the test dataset. Motivated by this\, we study supervised denoising and noisy-input regression under distribution shift. We add three considerations to increase the applicability of our theoretical insights to real-life data and modern machine learning. First\, we assume that our data matrices are low-rank. Second\, we drop independence assumptions on our data. Third\, the rise in computational power and dimensionality of data have made it essential to study non-classical learning regimes. Thus\, we work in the non-classical proportional regime\, where data dimension $d$ and number of samples N grow as d/N = c + o(1). \n\nFor this setting\, we derive general test error expressions for both denoising and noisy-input regression and study when overfitting the noise is benign\, tempered\, or catastrophic. We show that the test error exhibits double descent under general distribution shifts\, providing insights for data augmentation and the role of noise as an implicit regularizer. We also perform experiments using real-life data\, matching the theoretical predictions with under 1% MSE error for low-rank data.\n\nTalk will be in-person and on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98734707290\n\n[Contact:  Peter Miller]

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics Seminar: Quantum Bruhat graphs and tilted Richardson varieties
DESCRIPTION:A two-point curve neighborhood is the union of degree d rational curves that pass through two given Schubert varieties in the flag variety. These varieties were introduced by Buch-Chaput-Mihalcea-Perrin in 2013. They encode information about the 3-point Gromov-Witten invariants of the flag variety. Postnikov proved there is a unique minimal degree where the curve neighborhood is non-empty and described it using the quantum Bruhat graph. In this case\, we provide a concrete description of the curve neighborhood in terms of the combinatorics of tilted Bruhat order and a stratification with open tilted Richardson varieties. This is joint work with Jiyang Gao and Yibo Gao.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Progress & Challenges for Direct-Detection of Sub-GeV Dark Matter
DESCRIPTION:The search for dark matter with masses between meV-to-GeV has seen tremendous theoretical and experimental progress in the past few years.  I will provide an overview of some of this progress.  I will mention recent results from SENSEI\, a Skipper-CCD-based experiment that is sensitive to (halo) dark matter scattering off electrons for masses larger than ~1 MeV.  I will highlight how such detectors can\, however\, also probe sub-MeV dark matter masses by searching for the component of dark matter that is boosted to higher energies from scattering in the Sun.  In particular\, future detectors with larger exposures could probe the entire “freeze-in” benchmark model down to keV masses.  I will also discuss some challenges for direct detection\, in particular\, novel low-energy backgrounds.  I will introduce a new detector concept\, the “dual-sided CCD”\, which could help with distinguishing some of these backgrounds.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The moduli problem of line bundles
DESCRIPTION:The moduli theory of line bundles is arguably one of the most well-known moduli problems in algebraic geometry. In this talk\, I plan to take a stacky perspective and introduce the Picard stack as well as the Picard functor. Possible topics include the gerbe structure of the Picard stack\, universal families and alternative definitions of the Picard functor. Familiarity with the sheaf theory on sites is helpful but I will try to review the theory as well.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race\, Ethnicity and Politics
DESCRIPTION:Racial and ethnic identities play a key role in shaping behaviors\, attitudes\, institutions and social structures. As such\, scholars across disciplines have been devoted to investigating how race and ethnicity feature in every aspect of social and political life. The purpose of I-REP (Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race\, Ethnicity and Politics) is to provide a space for scholars whose research centers race\, ethnicity and politics across a number of fields to receive critical feedback on the early stages of their work (especially graduate students)\, build community with other researchers who share similar interests and offer an opportunity for participants to collaborate on a joint research project within the working group.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Dr. Maya Gomes\, John Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:It is commonly thought that the advent of vertical bioturbation at the beginning of the Paleozoic resulted in a decrease in pyrite burial.  This assumption has played an important role in reconstructions of atmospheric oxygen levels in the early Paleozoic because sulfate reduction and subsequent pyrite burial results in a net increase in oxygen in the ocean-atmosphere system. Much of our knowledge of how bioturbation impacts pyrite burial comes from modern ocean settings with bioturbation with high mixing intensity.  However\, the mixing intensity recorded in early Paleozoic is much lower than the modern ocean.  In order to better constrain how the advent of bioturbation impacted pyrite burial\, we investigated sedimentary sulfur isotope geochemistry of seasonally anoxic settings over a range of low mixing intensities.  We show that pyrite burial is greatest under conditions of moderate sulfate limitation in mildly bioturbated sediments.  We integrated these results into a model of Phanerozoic biogeochemical cycling (i.e.\, the Carbon-Oxygen-Phosphorus-Sulfur-Evolution or COPSE model) in order to investigate the implications of these results for atmospheric oxygen reconstructions. The results show a greater increase in oxygen in the early Paleozoic than previous reconstructions\, specifically during time periods associated with major evolutionary radiations – the Cambrian explosion and Great Ordovician Biodiversification event.  Thus\, enhanced pyrite burial under mild bioturbation may have played a role in early Paleozoic oxygenation with implications for the diversification of life.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Kavita Datla Memorial Lecture | Urdu's Intoxicated Mirror: Maharaja Kishan Parshad and Indian History
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Kavita Datla’s pioneering work on Osmania University\, Hyder explores the legacy of Maharaja Kishan Parshad “Shād” (1864-1940)\, the illustrious prime minister of the princely state of Hyderabad.\n\nAttend in person or via Zoom at: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91065678467\n   \n   Apart from being a committed educator and a visionary behind the university\, “Shād” also cultivated a style of history writing informed by Perso-Urdu poetic sensibilities that challenged parochial readings of religion\, region\, gender\, and beauty. Through his intervention in the development of several literary genres\, he navigated challenging issues of nationalism and colonialism\, bringing Hyderabad into a conversation with the larger world of letters\, a world that featured Delhi's Khwaja Hasan Nizami and Lahore's Muhammad Iqbal.\n   \n   Syed Akbar Hyder is an associate professor of Asian Studies and Islamic Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. He is also affiliated with the university's program in comparative literature. His research interests are anchored in comparative aesthetics\, devotional literature\, and the politics of canon formation in Urdu\, Hindi\, and Persian. His forthcoming publication is *A City\, an Island\, and a Jail: Qurratulain Hyder on the Move.*\n\nThe lecture is made possible through the generosity of Dr. Kavita Datla's family and friends.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: NERS Graduate Student Lightening Talks
DESCRIPTION:You're invited to our very first NERS Graduate Student Council Colloquium\, an event that will ignite your curiosity and open the doors to the fascinating world of scientific exploration. At the heart of this event is a celebration of unity and collaboration among scientific minds. We extend our deepest gratitude to the speakers who have volunteered to share their research\, making this event a vibrant testament to our shared passion for knowledge.\n\nSo\, come with your questions\, your curiosity\, and your eagerness to learn. Whether you're a science aficionado or a newcomer to the wonders of research\, this event promises an evening of enjoyable and enlightening discussions.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n\nMackenzie Warwick\nTitle: Development of Tapered Specimen Geometries for Accelerated Ion Irradiation Creep Testing of 316 Stainless Steel\nDescription: Given the rapid increase of average global temperatures coupled with the rise in global energy consumption\, we need a high-power density\, carbon-reduced energy source. Nuclear reactor concepts can provide such energy and advanced designs couple high temperature (>300°C)\, high stress (>100 MPa)\, high dose (>25 displacements per atom – dpa)\, and corrosive environments in-core to generate the necessary power. These coupled extreme environments place unparalleled dependencies on the irradiation creep strength of materials. We have developed tapered specimen geometries for ion irradiation creep testing to simulate in-core coupled extremes and to rapidly iterate across in-core environmental factors within a single or small subset of irradiation experiments.\nShort Bio: Mackenzie Warwick is a fourth-year PhD candidate in NERS\, with a focus on ion irradiation creep and material performance in coupled extreme environments. Mackenzie is an intern at Idaho National Laboratory researching crystal plasticity and modeling of creep mechanisms for long-term performance prediction.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“Ornette Coleman’s Utopian Intentionalities\, c. 1966\,” Dr. Michael Gallope
DESCRIPTION:This talk discusses Ornette Coleman’s *The Empty Foxhole* (1966)\, a collaborative album with bassist Charlie Haden and Coleman’s 10-year-old son\, Denardo on drums. In addition to featuring a child drummer\, the album features Coleman’s first recordings on the violin\, an instrument he taught himself to play left-handed with no aim of learning to play it “correctly.” Critics responded with bewilderment as to how to evaluate *The Empty Foxhole*\, which thwarted normative conceptions of skill and expressive intentionality in jazz. To elevate the conceptual stakes of his album\, this paper positions it in context with two discourses: Amiri Baraka’s dialectical writings on Afro-modernism in *Blues People* (1963)\, and Coleman’s own philosophy of “harmolodics\,” as it was expressed in various interviews and writings from the 1970s onward. In these publications\, Coleman’s language skates around ambiguously\, evading the assignment of precise technical terms to the album’s sounds and techniques in ways that call into question the human sincerity of intention. Against the backdrop of Baraka’s musical perspective on racial inequity\, Coleman’s work aspired to a socially inclusive utopia that affirmed the multiplicity of vernacular grammars while thwarting their synthesis by way of indeterminate rules and intentions.\n\nMICHAEL GALLOPE is Associate Professor of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota where he is affiliate faculty in the School of Music\, the Department of American Studies\, the Program in Religious Studies\, and the Program in Moving Image\, Media\, and Sound. He is the author of *Deep Refrains: Music\, Philosophy\, and the Ineffable* (University of Chicago Press\, 2017) and *The Musician as Philosopher: New York’s Vernacular Avant-Garde\, 1958–78* (Forthcoming 2024\, University of Chicago Press). As a musician\, he has worked in a variety of genres that span a range of experimental music\, rock\, and electronic dance music.\n\n*This program is organized by the Department of Musicology at the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.* \n

SUMMARY:Performance:Interactive Performance: “If (x = Robot)\, Then (y = Move fast and break things)\; In the (z = Self-Cleaning House)\; of (n = Coherent Nonsense)\; While (m = Being Mechanical Turk)\;”
DESCRIPTION:This interactive performance stems from artist Sarah Buckius’s Arts & Resistance exhibit !!!techn010ffspring!!!\, which is on view in Lane Hall during Fall semester.\n\nBringing together her perspectives as an artist\, mechanical engineer\, and mother\, Buckius developed a female-coded-robot-persona who is a bit of a provocateur\, an inventor of absurd mischievous interactions with the live audience that weave together historical and present day techno-science-fact-fiction gender-based references in a tangled mesh of video\, sound\, animation\, and code-based instructions. The piece investigates female-coded personae of robots\, code-based work of mechanical turks\, the invention of the “self-cleaning house” and Silicon Valley’s motto to “move fast and break things”. Audience members interact with coded-game-like instructions that direct them to interact with her robot personae to execute mechanical turk-like tasks. \n\nThis project is made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Arts Council Santa Cruz County.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ben Daniels Band
DESCRIPTION:Homegrown Michigan roots music for today\n \nBen Daniels is the son of actor Jeff Daniels\, but that's very much the beginning of a story\, not the end. When Ben Daniels decided he was going to be a musician\, it was more than a career choice. A natural poet\, this young songwriter went to school on Bob Dylan\, Robert Johnson\, and Jack White\, among others. His lyrics speak directly to a younger generation that hears\, sees\, and thinks about the very things he's writing. From their opening song to the finale of their set\, The Ben Daniels Band brings originality and musicianship to a sound that spans Americana\, blues\, jazz\, and rock. What Ben inherited from his father is\, perhaps\, a feeling for what it takes to live life as an artist\, to reach out and create not just songs but anthems with arrangements that pull people in and\, more often than not\, tear the house down.The Ben Daniels Band has grown to be a formidable group that sounds pleasantly familiar\, yet unforgettably unique. \n\n\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/3944/3945 for more detail.

SUMMARY:Performance:Guys and Dolls
DESCRIPTION:Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City\, *Guys and Dolls* is one of the quintessential musical romantic comedies. Frank Loesser's brassy\, immortal score – featuring “Adelaide’s Lament” and the classic “Luck Be a Lady” – makes *Guys and Dolls* a true crowd pleaser. \n\nGambler Nathan Detroit tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck\; meanwhile\, his girlfriend\, nightclub performer Adelaide\, laments that they've been engaged for fourteen years. Nathan hatches a plan to get the dough from a bet with fellow gambler Sky Masterson\, and Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary\, Sarah Brown\, as a result. *Guys and Dolls* takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana and even into the sewers of New York City\, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong. \n\nMusic & lyrics by Frank Loesser\nBook by Abe Burrows & Jo Swerling\nBased on a story and characters by Damon Runyon\nDirected by Vincent J. Cardinal\nMusic direction by Jason DeBord\n\nFUN FACTS: Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy\, *Guys and Dolls* ran for 1\,200 performances after it opened on Broadway in 1950. It received nearly unanimous positive reviews from critics and won a bevy of awards\, including Tony Awards\, Drama Desks\, and Oliviers.
