Exhibition:Manga no Ryokou: The “Manga Map” and A Journey Through the Art of Depiction in Japanese Cartography
2023-11-01 08:00 - 23:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, 2nd Floor
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.”

Alongside 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.

Both 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.

Exhibition:Shadow and Light : Solidarity and Connection with Iraqi Academics
2023-11-01 08:00 - 23:55 | Hatcher Graduate Library - North Lobby (off the Diag)
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.

Participants 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).

The 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.

This 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.

This exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).

A 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.

Exhibition:The Sentimental Archive: Remembering Nubia through Salvage Anthropology
2023-11-01 08:00 - 23:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery, 1st Floor
This exhibit showcases select photographs from The American University in Cairo’s Rare Books and Special Collections Library taken by the renowned Egyptian photographer Abd al-Fattah Eid as well as by the Cairo-born Swiss artist Margo Veillon.

In 1964, the construction of the Aswan High Dam displaced Nubians from their ancestral villages along the banks of the Nile in Egypt. In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation.

This endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time, space, and circumstance.

This selection of photographs includes persons, places, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.

The exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll, assistant professor of anthropology, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid, doctoral student in anthropology, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.

For a deeper dive, visit the companion exhibit, Narrating Nubia, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological, anthropological, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War
2023-11-01 08:00 - 17:00 | Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, 547 Weiser Hall
*Presented in association with UMS*.

In 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.”

Irina 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.

Exhibition:Illustrating the Renaissance Book: From Illumination to Woodcut
2023-11-01 09:00 - 20:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room, 1st Floor
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.

The 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.

Available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).

Join us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez, curator of the exhibit.

Exhibition:Sarah Buckius: !!!techn010ffspring!!!
2023-11-01 09:00 - 16:00 | Lane Hall
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.
Trained 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.
“!!!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.
This 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.

Exhibition:Featured Exhibits
2023-11-01 10:00 - 16:00 | Museum of Natural History
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.

Gina 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.

UN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag | Loop-corrected soft photon theorems and large gauge transformations
2023-11-01 11:00 - 12:00 | Randall Laboratory - 3481
In the last few years, a remarkable link has been established between the soft theorems and asymptotic symmetries of quantum field theories: soft theorems are Ward identities of the asymptotic symmetry generators. In quantum electrodynamics, Weinberg's soft photon theorem is nothing but the Ward identity of a gauge transformation whose parameter is non-trivial at infinity. Likewise, Low's tree-level subleading soft photon theorem is the Ward identity of a gauge transformation whose parameter diverges linearly at infinity. More recently, it has been shown that Low's theorem receives loop corrections that are logarithmic in soft photon energy. Then, it is natural to ask whether such corrections are associated with some asymptotic symmetry of the S-matrix. There have been proposals for conserved charges whose Ward identities yield the loop-corrected soft theorems, but a clear symmetry interpretation remains elusive. We explore this question in the context of scalar QED, in hopes of shedding light on the connection between asymptotic symmetries and loop-corrected soft theorems.

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.
The 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.
Emerging 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.

Tours:Building on a Century of Collecting at the Clements Library
2023-11-01 12:00 - 16:00 | William Clements Library
As we celebrate the library’s centennial, this exhibit is an attempt to answer a question asked often by visitors, how do you decide what to acquire to add to your collections.

It builds on the landmark publication of the library’s 75th anniversary, One Hundred and One Treasures From the Collections of the William L. Clements Library, edited by former library director John Dann. This exhibit—and its expanded online version—pairs items from 101 Treasures with related items that have for the most part been acquired since 1998. Those that were acquired earlier are items about which we’ve learned new things in the intervening 25 years.

Flexible Formal Privacy for Public Data Curation

Researchers rely extensively on public datasets disseminated by official statistics agencies, universities, non-governmental organizations, and other data curators. With the increasing availability of data and computing power comes increased threats to privacy, as published statistics can more easily be used to reconstruct sensitive personal data. Formal privacy (FP) methods, like differential privacy (DP), provably limit such information leakage by injecting carefully chosen randomized noise into published statistics. However, the way DP accounts for privacy degradation requires this noise be injected into every statistic dependent on the confidential dataset. This fails to reflect data curator needs, social, legal or ethical requirements, and complex dependency structures between public and confidential datasets. In this talk, I'll discuss statistical methodology that addresses these problems. We propose a FP framework with novel characterizations of disclosure risk when assessing collections of statistics wherein only some statistics are published with DP guarantees. We demonstrate FP properties maintained by our proposed framework, propose data release mechanisms which satisfy our proposed definition, and prove the optimality properties of downstream statistical estimators based on these mechanism outputs. For this talk, I'll discuss a few end-to-end data analysis examples in public health and surveys, showing how theoretical trade-offs between privacy, utility, and computation time manifest in practice when assessing disclosure risks and statistical utility. I'll conclude with a discussion on the implications of this work for survey researchers, focusing on opportunities to incorporate privacy by design in survey planning, experimental design, and other data collection operations.

Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Lensing survey cosmology with galaxies, shears, and clusters
2023-11-01 14:00 - 15:00 | Randall Laboratory - 3246 (Fishbowl)
Large galaxy surveys aim to unravel the nature of dark energy and dark matter with precise and accurate measurements of cosmic structures. This goal can be achieved by joint analyses of multiple cosmic structure tracers, including galaxies, shears, and galaxy clusters. However, practical applications are hindered by two significant challenges: a lack of realistic mocks that consistently model all three different tracers and enormous computational demands on likelihood inferences. In this talk, I will show two recent efforts at solving these two obstacles. I will show the Cardinal simulation, featuring unparalleled accuracy in color-dependent clustering and cluster abundance. I will then describe the new machine learning-based likelihood inference tool that speeds up the survey analyses by a factor of 50. Finally, I will show some prospects of the combined analyses on constraining the impact of baryonic feedback on cosmic structures.

Livestream / Virtual:DCMB / CCMB Weekly Seminar
2023-11-01 14:00 - 15:00 | Palmer Commons - Forum Hall
Abstract:
You have designed experiments and collected a lot of data that may reveal certain attributes of interest. Now you ask: How many basic patterns are there? What are typical patterns, and what are outliers? How to connect them to your attributes of interest? What if you don’t know what you are looking for? I will present a series of work in computer vision as well as applications that involve unsupervised learning of visual concepts, unsupervised instance selection, unsupervised learning of data-driven prototypicality, and predictive learning cross data modalities.

Workshop / Seminar:Conviction, incarceration, and recidivism: understanding the revolving door (with John Eric Humphries, Aurelie Ouss, Kamelia Stavreva, and Megan Stevenson)
2023-11-01 14:30 - 15:50 | Lorch Hall - 201
We study the effects of conviction and incarceration on recidivism using quasi-random judge assignment. We extend the typical binary-treatment framework to a setting with multiple treatments, and outline a set of assumptions under which standard 2SLS regressions recover causal and margin-specific treatment effects. Under these assumptions, 2SLS regressions applied to data on felony cases in Virginia imply that conviction leads to a large and long-lasting increase in recidivism relative to dismissal, consistent with a criminogenic effect of a criminal record. In contrast, incarceration reduces recidivism, but only in the short run. The assumptions we outline could be considered restrictive in the random judge framework, ruling out some reasonable models of judge decision-making. Indeed, a key assumption is empirically rejected in our data. Nevertheless, after deriving an expression for the resulting asymptotic bias, we argue that the failure of this assumption is unlikely to overturn our qualitative conclusions. Finally, we propose and implement alternative identification strategies. Consistent with our characterization of the bias, these analyses yield estimates qualitatively similar to those based on the 2SLS estimates. Taken together, our results suggest that conviction is an important and potentially overlooked driver of recidivism, while incarceration mainly has shorter-term incapacitation effects.

This talk is presented by the Labor Economics Seminar, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Abraham and Thelma Zwerdling Labor Economics Program.

Workshop / Seminar:Learning Seminar in Algebraic Combinatorics: Hyperplane arrangements as models for combinatorial geometry
2023-11-01 14:30 - 16:00 | East Hall - 4088
Positive geometries might be studied as generalizations of polytopes, and we'd like to import insights from combinatorial geometries associated with polytopes. A well-understood first case is that of hyperplane arrangements: there, the combinatorics of the arrangement controls much of the topology and arithmetic of the complement. We'll survey relevant constructions and calculations for hyperplane arrangements, such as the characteristic polynomial, the cohomology ring, and point-counts over finite fields. Taking those as a model, one could later apply similar ideas to other positive geometries.

Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Avoiding the Coming Climate Catastrophe
2023-11-01 15:00 - 16:00 | West Hall - 340
It is becoming increasingly apparent that climate change due to green house gas (GHG) emissions is accelerating, giving humanity less and less time to mitigate its ultimate effects on our global ecosystem. Interestingly, climate change was predicted (reasonably accurately) more than a century ago by Arrhenius, and then improved by Callendar in 1938 using better data, so you can’t say we weren’t warned. In this talk, I will discuss the history, the current state and future implications of anthropogenic climate change. In 2020, President Schlissel established the President’s Commission on Carbon Neutrality to develop a plan for U-M to do its part in meeting its own emission reduction strategy. I will discuss some of the important conclusions of that plan and the progress made thus far in achieving its goals. Finally, if there is time I will discuss solar technologies that can cost effectively have an enormous impact in reducing global use of fossil fuels in the near term.

2023-11-01 15:00 - 16:00 | Herbert H. Dow Building - 2150
Bio: Dr. Larry Aagesen is a Computational Scientist at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and is the leader of the Computational Microstructure Science group there. He is a member of the development team for Marmot, INL’s application for simulating microstructural evolution in nuclear fuels and reactor structural materials, which is based on MOOSE, INL’s framework for solving partial differential equations using the finite element method. His primary area of expertise is in the phase-field method, having developed phase-field models for a variety of physical phenomena, including fission gas bubble evolution, solid-state precipitation, solidification and coarsening in metallic alloys and ceramics, and semiconductor growth. He received his undergraduate degree in Physics at the University of California, Berkeley in 1997, followed by service in the U. S. Navy’s nuclear propulsion program. He then returned to graduate school, completing his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University in 2010. This was followed by appointment as a postdoctoral researcher and Assistant Research Scientist in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan from 2010 to 2015, after which he joined INL.

Workshop / Seminar:[Cancelled] Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Effective cycles on secant bundles to rational curves
2023-11-01 16:00 - 17:20 | East Hall - 4096
In this talk I’ll discuss work in progress on the problem of determining the cones of effective cycles on a class of varieties called secant bundles. The cones of effective cycles are the higher-codimension variants of the cone of effective divisors, which is an important invariant of a variety for birational geometry. Secant bundles are projective bundles which resolve the singularities of secant varieties to curves, and as we will see, (so far, some of) their effective cycles can be succinctly described using their geometry.

Lecture / Discussion:Math Undergraduate Seminar: Brownian Motions on Metric Graphs
2023-11-01 16:00 - 17:00 | East Hall - 3096
Metric graphs are graphs where each edge is assigned a length and associated with a closed interval of that length. The study of Brownian motions on metric graphs has garnered significant interest in recent years due to wide-ranging applications in fields like mathematical physics and biology. This talk will provide a gentle introduction to the study of Brownian motions on metric graphs from the ground up, work through some simple examples of metric trees, and compute transition densities of Brownian motions on them. Finally, I will give an overview of some important results in the study of Brownian motions on infinite symmetric metric trees and outline some minor results pertaining to Brownian motions on metric trees that were obtained during my time at the Indiana University Mathematics REU in Summer 2023.

Workshop / Seminar:Numerical Methods for Mean Field Game Master Equation
2023-11-01 16:00 - 17:00 | East Hall - 1360
A mean field game (MFG) approximates a large-player symmetric game and its mean field equilibrium is fully characterized by the so-called master equation. The master equation is typically a non-linear, partial differential equation. While the master equation's well-posedness is known, an analytical solution is not known. What's more, classical discretization methods for solving the master equation suffer from the curse of dimensionality. In this joint work with Asaf Cohen and Mathieu Lauriere, we study two algorithms to efficiently solve the master equation in many dimensions. We call one algorithm the Deep Backward Mean Field Game method (DBMFG) and the other is the Deep Galerkin Method (DGM) of Sirignano and Spiliopoulos. We provide novel proofs of the correctness of the algorithms. Due to the structure of the master equation, we cannot rely on the argument of Sirignano and Spiliopoulos for correctness of the DGM in this application, nor can we rely on the proof of an analogous deep backward method introduced by Pham et. al. for the DBMFG. Instead, we use the structure of the MFG to overcome these difficulties. Time permitting, I will conclude with some of the numerical results.

Workshop / Seminar:Pareto Improving Fiscal and Monetary Policies: Samuelson in the New Keynesian Model
2023-11-01 16:00 - 17:20 | Lorch Hall - 201
This paper explores the positive and normative consequences of government bond issuances in a New Keynesian model with heterogeneous agents, focusing on how the stock of government bonds affects the cross-sectional allocation of resources in the spirit of Samuelson (1958). We characterize the Pareto optimal levels of government bonds and the associated monetary policy adjustments that should accompany Pareto-improving bond issuances. The paper introduces a simple phase diagram to analyze the global equilibrium dynamics of inflation, interest rates, and labor earnings in response to changes in the stock of government debt. The framework also provides a tractable tool to explore the use of fiscal policy to escape the Effective Lower Bound (ELB) on nominal interest rates and the resolution of the “forward guidance puzzle.” A common theme throughout is that following the monetary policy guidance from the standard Ricardian framework leads to excess fluctuations in income and inflation.

Lecture / Discussion:COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS: Meditation, Improvisation, and the Future
2023-11-01 19:00 - 20:30 | Off Campus Location
Come join us on November 1 as Advaita Vedanta meets Afrofuturism, Quantum Nonlocality, Indigenous Wisdom and a host of other topics that unite ancient wisdom with future visioning. With guest lecture by Anil Maheshwari, PhD, Professor of Management and Information Systems, Maharishi International University. Joined by: Marion Hayden and Marcus Elliott, U-M Professors of Jazz and Contemporary Improvisation in performance and panel discussion.

Jazz musicians frequently recount moments of profound unity among players, listeners, and performance environment. Athletes likewise describe peak moments where an entire team functions as a single organism. The same holds true for teams of surgeons during delicate medical operations, where anything less than optimal collective synchronization can mean the difference between life and death.

An emerging body of scientific research suggests that these experiences may go beyond mere feelings of collective unity and involve connection with an underlying field of consciousness that unites all of humanity, and perhaps, as long upheld by wisdom traditions across the globe, all of life and creation. Leading research institutions in this field include Institute for Noetic Sciences, Institute for Global Consciousness, Global Consciousness Project, International Consciousness Research Laboratories, and Maharishi International University. The exploration of collective consciousness, though challenging academically, may serve as a vital bridge between ancient wisdom and cutting-edge scientific investigation.

Join us as Dr. Anil Maheshwari presents research that takes the concept of collective consciousness to a transformative level. A 17-year longitudinal study suggests that large meditation gatherings can generate a harmonizing effect on society, resulting in reduced crime, violence, accidents, and illness. The talk will explore implications for regional and global peace, ecological sustainability, the resolution of political and ideological tensions, and other applications.

The arts—particularly improvised music—will also be considered for both its rich manifestations of collective consciousness and also as a bridge between scientific and spiritual inquiry. The collective consciousness principle, with deep roots in African wisdom, also poses important ramifications for elevating racial justice discourse from prevailing deficiency narratives to evolutionary thinking.

For more information, please see attached press release. For questions or if you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation, contact PCCS-info@umich.edu. Please be aware the advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.
