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.

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.

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. \n\nThis 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. \n\nThis 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nFor 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.

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.

The title of the 2-day conference\, part of the Nam Center’s Perspectives on Contemporary Korea conference series\, references the visceral\, emotional experiences embedded in and conjured by Korean music performance across many eras\, genres\, and locations. In the 21st century\, Korean music defies geopolitical boundaries and the confines of genre as artists draw on their own experiences and communities to express the lived realities of the contemporary Korean experience. The music we explore in this symposium is inclusive of long-standing traditions and new creations on the Korean peninsula\, music performance in the Diaspora\, and collaborations drawing and expanding upon Korean musical aesthetics. The participants in this two-day event will explore the many notions of Korean music on and beyond the Korean peninsula\, through space and time\, and reimagined via multiple encounters and experiences.\n\nThis event will be a combination of traditional paper presentation\, roundtables\, and workshops. There will also be at least two performances during the two-day event. The event will be free & open to the public. Attendance will be available both in-person and virtual.\n\nThis event is a program feature of the U-M Fall 2023 Festival of Asian Music. https://smtd.umich.edu/asian-music-festival/ UID:113566-21831163@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/113566 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,Korea,Music,Performance LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231016T095224 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231109T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231109T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:(DE) CONSTRUCTED EXHIBITION BY NOUR BALLOUT DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours: Mon-Friday\, 9 am- 5pm\, or by appointment: serrag@med.umich.edu\n\nNour Ballout (b. 1993\, Beirut) is a Detroit & Chicago based interdisciplinary artist and curator. They received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Wayne State University and an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). Nour Ballout’s practice grapples with the ways looking can manifest as both resistance and violence while negotiating the tensions among visibility\, documentation and surveillance. Through photography\, archive and space making\, their work interrogates the ways the naturalization of structures of power manifest within bodies\, built environments\, and communities.\n\nNour currently serves on the Detroit Institute of Arts contemporary arts advisory group.

These units of memory\, or engrams\, are poetic portals through which we time travel\, gaining hindsight and foresight\, more meaning and greater wisdom\, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets\, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\n\nIn an era of iPhones\, Macbooks\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, everything that’s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original … every day of every year\, every meal of every trip\, every postcard destination. With constant 24/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives\, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \n\nIn Digital Engrams\, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound\, video\, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen\, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \n\nRuiz’s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, IH Arts Curator\n\nAbout the artist:\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media\, including sculpture\, video\, painting\, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials\, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico\, Ruiz’s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under\, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions\, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\n\nOne of L.A.’s rising young talents\, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022\, part of the museum's Outburst project.\n\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities. This exhibition is part of LSA's fall 2023 Art & Resistance theme semester.* UID:110231-21824621@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/110231 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Theme Semester,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Through collaborations with her immediate community\, and also using herself as a subject\, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian\, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time\, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.\n\nLee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\n\nIn Lee’s photographic exploration\, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative\, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.\n\nBy reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were\, but how she experienced them\, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation\, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.\n\nThrough Lee’s lens\, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish\, conflict and distress have left their imprints\, sometimes visible\, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).

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.

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.

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.

All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, or Flint U-M campuses in Fall 2023 are invited to apply to this juried exhibition that explores what can be done to create more just and equitable futures in the 21st Century and beyond.\n The 2023 exhibition will include art of a variety of mediums and will be displayed in four galleries across all three U-M campuses\, including Stamps Gallery (Central Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Duderstadt Center Gallery (North Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Riverbank Arts (Flint)\, and Stamelos Gallery (Dearborn). \nThe arts play a central role in shaping cultural and political narratives. Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change by offering alternate models and ways of thinking\, making and creating that do not perpetuate dominant regimes. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one'\;s personal politics\, an artwork'\;s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary. \nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink invites students to leverage their creativity to (re)imagine what they can do to create a more just and equitable community in the spaces that they inhabit.\nThroughout the spring\, summer\, and fall of 2023\, U-M students submitted artworks through an open call process. A final list of artworks were chosen for the exhibition by a Selection Committee made up of U-M faculty\, staff\, and students. \n\nThe 2023 RRR Selection Committee members are: \nPedram Baldari\, Jim Cogswell\, Laura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Adrienne Frank\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Quinn Hunter\, Ikalanni Jahi\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, Kathi Reister\, Chloe Schans\, and Grace Sirman. \nThe 2023 RRR Curatorial Committee members are: \nLaura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Kathi Reister. \nThe 2023 RRR Organizing Committee members are: Chris Audain\, Adrienne Frank\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Joe Rohrer.

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.

Ukrainian Poetry and Resistance DESCRIPTION:In this panel\, Alex Averbuch\, Oksana Maksymchuk\, and Max Rosochinsky join in conversation moderated by Svitlana Rogovyk over the interweaving traditions of poetry and resistance in Ukraine. Poetry has been used as a tool of resistance in Ukraine in a number of ways: as a means of preserving languages\, as a witness to atrocity\, as a form of remembrance\, as a testament to survival\, and as a grounds for experimentation and celebration. As poets\, translators\, and scholars of Ukraine\, the panelists offer their personal and professional insights to the social role of the arts in the context of Ukraine's multiethnic culture and history. Discussion will be accompanied by poetry reading.\n \nResponding to Russia’s war against Ukraine\, artist Irina Bondarenko created the installation *Guardian Passage* by pairing images of guardian figures with the lines of poetry to invoke the sense of cultural guardianship that Ukrainian language carries for the nation. Alex Averbuch’s poem\, “He wasn’t there alone” in Oksana Maksymchuk and Max Rosochinsky’s translation is featured in the project.\n \nAlex Averbuch\, a poet\, translator\, and scholar\, is the author of three books of poetry and an array of literary translations between Hebrew\, Ukrainian\, English\, and Russian. English translations of his poems have appeared in the *Manhattan Review\, Copper Nickel\, Plume\, Birmingham Poetry Review\, Words Without Borders\, Constellations\,* and *Common Knowledge.* His latest book\, *Zhydivs’kyi korol' (The Jewish King)\,* was a finalist for the Shevchenko National Prize\, Ukraine’s highest award for culture and literature. He is a postdoctoral fellow at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies\, Harvard University.\n \nOksana Maksymchuk is a bilingual Ukrainian-American poet\, scholar\, and literary translator. Her poetry appeared in *AGNI\, The Irish Times\, The Paris Review\, The Poetry Review\,* and elsewhere. In Ukrainian\, she is the author of poetry collections *Xenia* and *Lovy* and a recipient of the B.-I. Antonych and Smoloskyp prizes\, two of Ukraine’s top awards for younger poets. She is a visiting professor of English at the University of Chicago.\n \nMax Rosochinsky is a poet\, scholar\, and translator. With Oksana Maksymchuk\, he co-edited *Words for War: New Poems from Ukraine\,* and co-translated *Apricots of Donbas* by Lyuba Yakimchuk\, and *The Voices of Babyn Yar* by Marianna Kiyanovska. Their award-winning work has been supported by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation\, Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna\, Fulbright Scholar Program\, National Endowment for the Humanities\, and National Endowment for the Arts. He is a visiting scholar in Slavic languages and literatures at the University of Chicago.\n\nSvitlana Rogovyk is a teaching professor and language program coordinator in the U-M Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures. Svitlana specializes in second language acquisition and pedagogy\, language curriculum design and development\, teaching Slavic languages to heritage speakers\, and language proficiency assessment.\n \nThis panel is presented in coordination with the exhibition *Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War *featuring art by Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova on display in the International Institute Gallery (547 Weiser Hall) from October 2 - November 29\, 2023.\n \nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and is co-sponsored by the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies\; Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia\, LSA Theme Semester on Arts and Resistance\; U-M Arts Initiative\; and the University of Michigan Museum of Art.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

But for a long time political scientists have lacked systematic data on what these groups actually want out of policy. A new dataset of lobbying and testimony records from State legislatures allows unprecedentedly-detailed study of attempts to influence state politics. But it also brings many challenges. How should we understand — and model — the activities of groups so disparate as corporations\, trade associations\, nonprofits\, unions\, churches\, and so on? Common approaches from political science\, designed to capture the policy preferences of legislators\, do not adapt well to this case. Borrowing from the networks and complex systems world\, I propose methods for quantifying and characterizing the policy interests of these groups which capture (most of) the richness in the data while also making it legible for researchers. I also show how methods developed for recommender systems like Netflix or Spotify may be able to model the preferences of organized interests by treating them as “users” and the bills they lobby on as “products”. Finally\, I point to several ways in which this information can improve the broader quantitative study of legislative politics.\n\nBio:\nGalen started his PhD in Sociology in 2023. His primary research interests have so far focused on the politics of energy and climate in the American states and at the national level. After graduating in 2020 he worked in the Climate and Development Lab at Brown\, leading several studies on public counter-movements against greenhouse gas mitigation policies as well as state-level interest group politics.

Their work is centered on understanding innate immune inflammation and its resolution. They seek to dissect how external cues and cell signaling networks regulate neutrophil migration during tissue damage and repair and how this is altered in human disease.\n\nSpeaker:\n\nAnna Huttenlocher\, M.D.\, is the Anna Ruth Brummett Professor of Pediatrics and Medical Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Wisconsin Medical School. Her laboratory is focused on understanding the basic molecular mechanisms that regulate cell migration in response to tissue damage and repair. They are particularly interested in the basic mechanisms that mediate neutrophil inflammation and its resolution. They have extensive experience with cell migration research\, host pathogen interactions and live cell imaging using both organotypic models and zebrafish as a model system. The group has developed disease models of wound healing\, cancer and chronic inflammation using zebrafish\, and has has a strong track record in resource generation and in sharing reagents with the research community. \n\nHuttenlocher is a member of the National Academy of Medicine\, was chair of the Gordon conference on Directed cell migration\, co-chaired a Banbury conference\, served on council for the American Society of Cell Biology\, serve as a senior editor at the Journal of Cell Biology and was Chair of a NIH study section. She has been committed to the education of Ph.D. and M.D. scientists in both basic and translational research. Many of her former trainees run independent research programs\, including at RIKEN Japan\, University of Colorado-Boulder\, University of Connecticut\, Purdue University\, University of Wisconsin\, University of Iowa\, Rutgers University and Albert Einstein.

In particular\, our understanding of the Late Formative (600 BCE - 200 CE) remains underdeveloped. Based on extensive surveys and limited excavation data\, it has been argued that significant changes occurred in the economic and political realms during this period. The Late Formative is hypothesized to have been a time of increasing political complexity and expanding engagement in interregional exchange. However\, the process behind how these changes came about remains unclear. In this talk\, I utilize data from both regional surveys as well as excavations at various sites throughout the region to detail the current state of knowledge on Formative Cusco. After providing this background\, I will present the results of two seasons of excavations at the site of Muyumoqo\, a potential Late Formative political and economic center located in the Chit'apampa Basin. Extensive horizontal excavations have provided supporting evidence for Muyumoqo's role as an economic and political center during the Late Formative. As I will discuss\, the site appears distinct from other known Late Formative communities and may provide early evidence for the consumption of chicha. Finally\, I will also briefly discuss the finding of a potential\, persistent household ritual practice.

Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one’s personal politics\, an artwork’s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary.

ABET also considers vital teamwork skills as one key student learning outcome for accreditation and evaluation of engineering education. Research shows that student learning outcomes are highly affected by faculty beliefs about teaching and learning. Effective professional development programs for faculty need to understand their beliefs as these beliefs shape their teaching practices. As engineering practice and engineering education are becoming increasingly globalized\, we need to take a more culturally relevant approach to understand how key competencies such as teamwork are culturally constructed and how the development of faculty beliefs is affected by broader cultural factors. In this seminar\, Yi will introduce some of her educational background and research experiences to provide an international lens to understand teamwork in engineering education. She will then present a systematic review of the existing Chinese literature on how Chinese faculty conceptualize teamwork in the classroom. In conclusion\, she will also talk about some parts of her dissertation\, how faculty in the US develop their teaching beliefs about teamwork.

Students may attend events individually\, but may find it especially helpful to attend each in progression.\n\nAbout today's workshop:\nWith a focus on humanities students\, this workshop will provide guidance around cover letters and resumes for positions beyond tenure track roles.\n\nThe process of synthesizing your academic experiences into strong application materials for jobs beyond academia can be challenging but rewarding. This workshop is a hands-on opportunity for graduate students to learn how to effectively develop a resume using the foundation that they have laid with information and experiences from their CV. The session will also include strategies for writing compelling\, tailored cover letters and thinking strategically about how these two documents complement each other.\n\nTo make the most of the session\, students should come prepared to discuss and workshop ideas\, and have a simple list of their recent experiences and skills they might want to highlight (a CV or past resume would also work). \n\nAbout the presenters:\nJoe Cialdella is the assistant director of internships & public scholarship at Rackham Graduate School. Kirsten Elling is the coordinator for graduate student career advancement and the Rackham embedded career counselor at the University Career Center.

The results have far-reaching impacts ranging from providing the most detailed and quantitative measures of the star formation histories of low-mass galaxies and insights into their growth across cosmic timescales\, to determining precise distances to galaxies throughout the Local Volume which place galaxy properties on an absolute scale and are essential inputs for measuring of the local value of the Hubble Constant.\n\nIn this talk\, I will (i) highlight recent results from resolved star studies on very low-mass galaxies with HST data\, (ii) present the first star formation history of a galaxy with JWST data alongside a comparison to HST data of the same field\, and (iii) introduce new tip of the giant branch (TRGB) distance calibrations derived from HST infrared data and JWST data on nearby galaxies\, the latter of which paves the way for a JWST-based measure of the Hubble Constant.

Who would want to watch them? And why? \n \nEsports — video gaming as a spectator sport — currently boasts an estimated global viewership of 500 million and an annual revenue of over US$1 billion. This talk examines esports' perceived novelty through the lens of its history and popularity in East Asia\, particularly South Korea and China. East Asian players continue to profoundly dominate today’s global esports scene\, even while the video games that they excel at are American-made. The drama (and the profitability) of this global virtual competition depends on a potent set of fantasies about race\, gender\, national identity\, and ideal \"sportsmanship.\" Esports both interrupts and reproduces stereotypes of Asian and Asian American men as unathletic\, nerdy\, “cheap\,” hyper-competitive Others. This talk argues that the continued success of global esports ultimately depends on a toxic set of \"mini-games\" which bring together old and new modes of inter-racial competition\, ideas of masculinity and athleticism\, and American nationalism against the backdrop of a rising China. \nTara Fickle is Associate Professor of Asian American Studies at Northwestern University. Her first book\, The Race Card: From Gaming Technologies to Model Minorities\, (NYU Press\, 2019\, winner of Before Columbus Foundation’s American Book Award)\, explores how games have been used to establish and combat Asian and Asian American racial stereotypes.

DESCRIPTION:Actual and perceived gender norms are key to understanding gender inequality. Using newly-collected\, nationally representative datasets from 60 countries covering 80% of the world population\, this paper studies gender norms on two policy issues: basic rights\, allowing women to work outside of the home\, and affirmative action\, prioritizing women when hiring for leadership positions. Misperceptions of gender norms are pervasive across the world\, and the nature of the misperception is context-dependent. In less gender-equal countries\, people underestimate support for both policies\, particularly support among men\; in more gender-equal countries\, people overestimate support for affirmative action\, particularly support among women\, and underestimate support for basic rights. Gender stereotyping and overweighting of minority views are potential drivers of the global patterns of misperceptions. Our findings indicate how misperceptions of gender norms may obstruct progress toward gender equality and contribute to sustaining gender policies that are not necessarily favored by women.\n\n\nThis talk is presented by the Economic Development Seminar\, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics through a generous gift given by Jay and Beth Rakow.

Mathematicians often receive advice tailored for other areas\, such as building physical objects\, consulting\, or general software development\, that may not apply. Additionally\, startups with sophisticated mathematical\, statistical\, or engineering algorithms may encounter unique problems. In this new colloquium series\, startup CEOs will discuss the story of their companies from seed to IPO stages and offer advice on building successful businesses based on mathematics or algorithms.\n\nDr. Walch is the CEO of Arcascope\, which makes science-backed apps to help people fix their sleep and circadian rhythms. She received her Ph.D in Applied Mathematics from the University of Michigan in 2016 and studied the mathematics of sleep for the last ten years. Outside of sleep\, she was co-editor of Political Geometry\, a volume on the mathematics of gerrymandering\, with Moon Duchin.

A well-established treatment modality (continuous positive airway pressure) is often ineffective in mitigating these co-morbidities. Thus\, the development of novel treatments to eliminate apnea and mitigate associated co-morbidities is imperative. We are addressing this mandate by determining if repeated exposure to mild intermittent hypoxia (MIH) mitigates cardiovascular dysfunction and enhances performance fatigability. We propose that exposure to MIH has a multipronged effect. MIH directly targets cardiovascular co-morbidities\, while simultaneously enhancing upper airway stability and increasing the arousal threshold. These modifications may serve to directly mitigate apnea. Alternatively\, these modifications may serve to improve treatment adherence with continuous positive airway pressure. Independent of its effect\, MIH may serve as an adjunctive therapy which provides another path to mitigating cardiovascular co-morbidities that might ultimately result in improvements in performance fatigability.\n\nBio:\nDr. Mateika is a respiratory physiologist who is presently investigating the impact of genetically or spinal cord injury induced reductions in central nervous system serotonin on mechanisms that influence breathing stability and cardiovascular/autonomic function in mice. Dr. Mateika is also exploring if repeated daily exposure to mild intermittent hypoxia independently or combined with continuous positive airway pressure mitigates co-morbidities (i.e. hypertension) linked to sleep apnea in humans.

Appalachia? The Talimali Band of Apalachee Indians\, Twenty-First Century Colonialism\, and the Struggle for Tribal Sovereignty DESCRIPTION:Colonial studies are often conducted within the “bubble” of academia and in isolation from the descendants of the communities most dramatically impacted by the ravages of colonialism. In this talk\, Kimberly C. Borchard (Randolph-Macon College) will discuss how her first monograph\, Appalachia as Contested Borderland of the Early Modern Atlantic\, 1528-1715\, in chronicling two centuries of atrocities committed against the Apalachee people and other Native societies of the American southeast\, led to a new project documenting Apalachee history since 1763. Through contact with living descendants of the people that first encountered Spanish gold-seekers in the Florida peninsula in the early sixteenth century\, Borchard has transitioned from purely historical research to contemporary advocacy for living members of the Apalachee tribe\, whose land claims and sovereignty continue to be systematically ignored by the U.S. government.\n\nKim Borchard earned her B.A. and M.A. from Ohio University and her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. She teaches courses in Spanish\, Latin American colonial literature\, the social issues surrounding Latin American immigration to the U.S.\, and humor in Spanish at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland\, Virginia. Her first book\, Appalachia as Contested Borderland of the Early Modern Atlantic\, 1528-1715 explores the European obsession with Appalachian mineral resources from 1528 to 1715\, reframing Appalachian history within the fields of Latin American\, early American\, and Atlantic history. Her next book\, tentatively titled The Talimali Band the Apalachee Indians of Louisiana: The Struggle for Survival and Federal Reinstatement of One of America's Oldest Tribes\, 1763-2024\, will document the history of the Apalachee diaspora in Louisiana after the tribe's expulsion from Florida in 1704.

A decade later\, living in political exile in Germany\, he was found brutally murdered. \nThe murder\, still unsolved\, serves as the starting point for “Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World\,” a new theatrical work by British-Iranian theater maker Javaad Alipoor\, featuring Iranian musician\, writer\, actor\, and podcast host King Raam. The show will be staged as part of the UMS season while this series event will bring Alipoor and Raam together to showcase their individual practices and a discussion of their collaboration and their common cultural background and influences.\nJavaad Alipoor is an artist\, writer\, and the Artistic Director of The Javaad Alipoor Company. He is a former ACE changemaker and was Resident Associate Director at Sheffield Theatres for their 2017/18 season\, and prior to this was Associate Director at Theatre in the Mill from 2015 to 2017.

UM-Ann Arbor professor of anthropology Hakem Al-Rustom\, will be the discussant for this event. Refreshments will be provided!\n \nAbout the book:\n \nSince Iran's 1979 Revolution\, the imperative to create and protect the inner purity of family and nation in the face of outside spiritual corruption has been a driving force in national politics. Through extensive fieldwork\, Professor Rose Wellman examines how Basiji families\, as members of Iran's voluntary paramilitary organization\, encounter\, enact\, and challenge this imperative. Her ethnography reveals how families and state elites employ blood\, food\, and prayer in commemorations of martyrs in Islamic national rituals to create citizens who embody familial piety\, purity\, and closeness to God.\n \n *Feeding Iran: Shi`i Families and the Making of the Islamic Republic* provides a rare and humanistic account of religion and family life in the post-revolutionary Islamic Republic that examines how home life and everyday piety are linked to state power.\n \nAbout the author:\n \n Rose Wellman is an anthropologist who specializes in Iran\, the Middle East\, and its diaspora\, including Arab Detroit. Her book *Feeding Iran: Shi’i Families and the Making of the Islamic Republic* draws from ethnographic research in Iran between 2007 and 2010 to explore how everyday family life and piety are linked to state power. Wellman is currently conducting research with Arab Americans that focuses on Metro Detroit’s vibrant Iraqi community. She is a faculty affiliate of the Center for Arab American Narratives at ACCESS and a member of Healthy Dearborn’s research committee. Wellman’s courses at the University of Michigan-Dearborn cover subjects as diverse as the Middle East\, religion\, kinship and marriage\, food\, Islam\, Islamophobia\, anti-racism\, globalization\, and Arab America\, emphasizing critical thinking and project-based learning in a globalized world. Wellman further draws from her research in Metro Detroit and beyond to provide students with real-world ethnographic research experiences and opportunities to engage the diverse community of Southeast Michigan. Between 2014 and 2017\, Wellman was a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University’s Sharmin and Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in 2014 and her B.A. from Mount Holyoke College in 2005.\n \nAbout the commentator:\n \nHakem Al-Rustom is the Alex Manoogian Professor of Modern Armenian History and assistant professor of history and anthropology at the University of Michigan. His work interrogates ruins of undocumented histories\, ethnographic silences\, and memory as methods for historical ethnographies in the aftermath of violence. He is the co-editor of *Edward Said: A Legacy of Emancipation and Representation* (University of California Press 2010) and is currently finishing a book on the afterlives of the *Armenian Genocide in Turkey* (by Columbia University Press).\n \n \n This event is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC) at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.\n \n Want to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

In this course\, we will build on the Lindy Hop essentials of Swing I and learn how to do a swingout. Swingouts are a fundamental (and by far the most recognizable) move of Lindy Hop! They require dancers to hone their connection with a partner and can lay the groundwork for many new moves. We will dedicate most of the time in this class to cleaning up the swingouts you will learn in the first few weeks. We will also focus on musicality and teach you a few fun swingout variations (time permitting).  COURSE PREREQUISITES: Swing I or equivalent. You should feel comfortable switching between 6-count and 8-count Lindy Hop\, have experience with some basic variations (e.g. yoyos\, Lindy circles)\, and feel confident about your musicality and connection. We will not expect you to know how to do a swingout yet – we will teach you to do one! WHEN: 7:30pm-8:30pm on Thursdays (11/2\, 11/9\, 11/16\, 11/30) WHERE: Mason Hall Room 1401\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor  INSTRUCTORS: Sarah Redman & Steve Losh  PRICING:General Admission 4-Week Pass: $40SAA Member 4-Week Pass: $30Individual Class: $12Acceptable forms of payment: cash\, check\, or PayPal REGISTRATION: Please register in advance by filling out this short form: https://tinyurl.com/SAANovProgressives\ UID:114108-21832356@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114108 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Mason Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230802T095210 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231109T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Antje Duvekot & Joe Crookston DESCRIPTION:Wonderful songwriters from the Northeastern scene\n\nA former Artist-in-Residence at Folk Alliance International\, Joe Crookston of Ithaca\, New York\, is an artist\, writer\, singer\, guitar picker\, painter\, clawhammer banjo player\, eco-village member and believer in all things possible. You'll be pulled in by the magic and musical world he creates\, and you'll end up in the moment\, humming and buzzing with the rest of the crowd. He'll sing to you—you'll sing with him. He's plumbing for lyrical gold\, like some kind of social archaeologist. Joe's story songs are universal\, masterful and his concerts are a grand celebration of all of us. Come to a show … you'll ride along mystical\, historical\, and humorous roads\, and twist through personal stories along the way—stories of amber eyes\, Oklahoma towns\, rattlesnake tails\, Grandmother Moons\, Galway heather\, meter maids and silver crowns. At the end of the night\, you'll leave inspired\, with a renewed sense of what's possible. \n\nNew England folk institution Ellis Paul has called Antje Duvekot (say AUNT-yuh DOO-va-kott) the next great American folk singer-songwriter. Born in Germany\, Antje immigrated to the U.S. as a teen. Following the path of Natalie Merchant\, Dar Williams\, and Patty Griffin\, she developed a sound all her own.

Antje has extensive touring experience\, criss-crossing the U.S. and Europe many times.
