SUMMARY:Performance:Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World
DESCRIPTION:In the 1970s\, Fereydoun Farrokhzad was a significant cultural icon\, a sex symbol\, and a chart-topping pop singer whose music and television programs were heard and viewed by millions of Iranians. A decade later\, living in political exile in Germany\, he still performed to sold-out audiences in Europe. That changed on August 7\, 1992\, when he was found brutally murdered in his apartment in Bonn. Neighbors said his dogs had been barking for two nights.\n\nThe murder\, still unsolved\, serves as the starting point for this new work by British-Iranian theater maker Javaad Alipoor\, whose The Believers Are But Brothers was featured in the 2020 No Safety Net theater festival. Selected as one of The Guardian’s Top Theatre Shows of 2022\, Things Hidden “gleefully mashes up genres\, smashing together the quiet authority of the murder mystery podcast\, the intimacy of autobiographical storytelling\, and the visual spectacle of multimedia performance — while simultaneously deconstructing each of these forms.” (The Guardian)

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Exhibition. Modernist Glass from the Polish Past
DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass)\, the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.\n\nLearn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM\n\nThe exhibit opens on September 15\, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor. Contact copernicus@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.

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:The Sentimental Archive: Remembering Nubia through Salvage Anthropology
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nIn 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. \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.

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:BREATHE
DESCRIPTION:The Residential College Art Gallery will present BREATHE\, an exhibition of illuminated ceramics by Ann Arbor artist Kate Tremel\, from October 20 through November 21.  Tremel\, who teaches ceramics at the Penny W Stamps School of Art and Design\, describes her work in the following way:\n\n“My pots are made with a wooden paddle and round stone. They are slowly raised by beating\, turning\, and drying the clay repeatedly until the walls are thinly stretched and the form is filled with life. I pierce the fragile\, unfired walls of the vessel with a tapered tool and then painstakingly carve the holes with a thin blade. The piercings give visual access to the interior of the form and create a tension with the fragility of the ceramic material. When the pot is illuminated the light fills the vessel and physically embodies the energy that it contains. The piercings allow this energy to flow beyond the walls of the form and into the surrounding space. The soft patterns of light are an exhalation\, filling the dark room with a sense of quiet repose.  I invite you to stop and take a breath.”\n\nThe public is invited to an opening reception for the artist on October 20\, from 4-6 pm\, and the public is invited.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Digital Engrams
DESCRIPTION:The notion that our brains actually create memories first stored and then revisited has been contemplated since the time of Plato and Aristotle. 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.*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Holding Places Exhibition by Satchel Lee
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours: Mon-Fri\, 9 am-5 pm or by appointment: serrag@med.umich.edu\nBorn and raised in New York City\, Satchel Lee is a multi-media artist whose work can best be described as portraiture. 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).

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:Lecture / Discussion:Department of Astronomy 2023-2024 DEI Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"The Burgeoning Role of Sonification in Astrophysics\"\n\nThe inherently visual nature of astronomical research provides a wealth of material for both pedagogy and public outreach. By communicating novel findings exclusively through this medium\, however\, we miss out on a valuable opportunity to engage a diverse audience across multiple axes of instruction. In this talk\, I will discuss the growing role that sonification (representing data aurally) plays in astrophysics. I will introduce several pioneering sound-based astronomy efforts and use these to motivate astro[sound]bites\, a graduate-student-led astronomy podcast that regularly uses sonification. Now in its fourth year\, astro[sound]bites has published over 81 episodes across multiple platforms\, totaling 21\,000+ downloads from 70 different countries. I will discuss the evolution of astro[sound]bites from its inception\, highlight some lessons learned\, and end with a demonstration of how you can sonify your own data.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Seminar Seminar Series: Katherine Brumberg\, PhD Candidate\, Department of Statistics and Data Science\, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n\nRandomized controlled trials are the gold standard for determining a treatment effect. However\, they are oftentimes too costly\, infeasible\, or unethical to carry out. In such situations\, we turn to observational studies\, where the treatment assignment is not randomized. This results in selection bias\, leading to incomparable treatment and control groups. One of the most common techniques to address this is propensity score stratification\, where we form strata that contain both treated and control individuals who look similar initially so that we can calculate a treatment effect within each stratum. However\, propensity score stratification may leave residual imbalances in the covariate distributions between the treated and control groups. Our new technique of optimal refinement addresses this by splitting each propensity score stratum in two in such a way that optimizes the resulting covariate balance.\n\nIn this talk\, we will start by examining the performance of propensity score stratification and then will move to discussing our new technique of optimal refinement. We will first carefully define the objective as an integer program. Because solving integer programs is often computationally intractable\, we will use randomized rounding\, an approximation algorithm\, to obtain a provably good solution. We will look at the performance of this method both in simulations and via a real-world example studying the effect of right heart catheterization on 30-day mortality.\n\nhttps://kbrumberg.com/

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Respond/ Resist/ Rethink 2023
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the Fall 2023 Theme Semester: Arts &amp\; Resistance\, Stamps Gallery is partnering with the U‑M Arts Initiative to expand the 4th annual Respond/Resist/Rethink student art exhibition. 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&#039\;s personal politics\, an artwork&#039\;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.

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:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture Series. \"Save the Thai Temple”: Wat Mongkolratanaram\, the Heteronormative Logics of South Berkeley\, and Queering Thai/America
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, “Save the Thai Temple” was formed by a group of first- and second-generation Thai/American youth to fight for the religious rites of Wat Mongkolratanaram — a Theravada Buddhist temple located in Berkeley\, California that has been around for over three decades — against neighbors on an adjacent street complaining that the temple’s religious services\, specifically\, its merit-making services (or tum boon)\, were “overly detrimental\,” “addictive\,” and that the smells of Thai food were “offensive.” Such arguments were predicated upon a heteronormative logic anchored within the South Berkeley neighborhood\, pervasively emphasizing the Thai temple\, its followers in addition to the Thai/American community as both orientalist and queer in nature. In this way\, the complainants drew upon outdated and racist imagery\, marking and othering the temple and its community through imperial and dated descriptors of race\, gender\, and sexuality. Drawing upon the incident\, this talk examines the aggressions made by the combative neighbors in addition to the resulting actions taken by Wat Mongkolratanaram and “Save the Thai Temple.” I contend that Thai/America and its religious presence in the U.S. are queer “immigrant acts” that reimagine American domesticity\, belonging\, and how neighborhoods are formed\, realized\, and policed. I further look at the actions of the Thai/American community as acts of necessary survival\, ultimately queering the racial and sexual undercurrents that inform the compulsory heterosexuality of Berkeley\, California as well as notions of Thainess within and beyond the United States.\n   \n   SPEAKER BIO\n   Pahole Sookkasikon\, Ph.D. received his doctorate from the Department of American Studies at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. His work focuses on the ways that contemporary Thai popular culture and performance queer notions of Thainess informed by Western economies of desire and nation-state practices of respectability. He holds a M.A. in Asian American Studies from San Francisco State University and has helped cultivate and has fought for the necessity of Thai America within the field and scope of Southeast Asian American Studies. He currently works as a content researcher for Paramount Streaming.\n\nRegister at http://myumi.ch/DwNy5

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: The Consequences of Colonialism\, Capitalism\, and Empire: Looking Out from the Archive
DESCRIPTION:The expansion of colonialism and empire brought with it intense exchanges of ideas\, peoples\, goods\, and capital. Over the last several decades\, historians working on colonialism and capitalism in various regions of the world have asked critical questions: How did global capital alter the lives of colonized and indigenous peoples? What were the origins and political trajectories of capitalist ideologies that shaped transnational transactions? In what ways were the various forms and patterns of capitalism essential for understanding modernities? In this panel\, historians working on different aspects of the colonizer-colonized relationships in Hong Kong\, France\, and North America consider the ways in which alternative readings of colonial archives can yield different narratives in histories of capitalism. \n\nJustin Chun-Yin Cheng (PhD Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nKeanu Heydari (PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan)\nLeopoldo Solis Martinez (PhD Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nMrinalini Sinha (moderator\; Alice Freeman Palmer Professor of History\, University of Michigan)\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Respond/Resist/Rethink
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the Fall 2023 Theme Semester: Arts & Resistance and the U‑M Arts Initiative. The 2023 Respond/Resist/Rethink 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).\n\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. 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. Respond/​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.\n\nNote: The Duderstadt Center will close slightly earlier\, on Dec 1.\nDuderstadt Center Gallery Hours: Noon-6pm Tues-Fri\, Noon-6pm Sunday

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Super-resolution fluorescence imaging of extracellular environments
DESCRIPTION:The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a biophysical environment that plays an important role in physiological processes and disease development. The ECM is highly dynamic\, with changes occurring as local\, nanoscale\, physicochemical variations in physical confinement and chemistry from the perspective of biological molecules. The length and time scale of ECM dynamics are challenging to measure with current microscopic techniques. Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy has the potential to probe local\, nanoscale\, physicochemical variations in the ECM. Here\, I will share our development of super-resolution imaging and analysis methods and their application to study model nanoparticles and biomolecules within synthetic ECM hydrogels. This includes 1) fluorescence correlation spectroscopy super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging or “fcsSOFI\,” a super-resolution optical signal processing technique that simultaneously characterizes the nanometer dimensions of and diffusion dynamics within porous structures using correlation and 2) expansion microscopy using tensile force\, a sample-based super-resolution method that physically expands stretchable hydrogels. Overall\, super-resolution imaging is a powerful tool that can increase our understanding of extracellular environments at new spatiotemporal scales to reveal ECM processes at the molecular-level.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Wildfires & Community Well-being: Lessons from Chile
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Paige Fischer will explore wildfire as a social-ecological system and its implications for community well-being. Fischer will discuss her work with wildfires and vulnerable populations\, her motivation for taking her domestic work abroad\, and how her understanding of resilience was transformed after her time learning from affected communities in Chile.\n\nDr. Paige Fischer is associate professor of environment and sustainability at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on human adaptation to climate and natural hazards such as wildfire in forested areas. Her work looks at the capacity of individuals and organizations to adapt to environmental change through individual and collective natural resource management and environmental conservation actions. Her work has focused on the American West and has recently expanded to south-central Chile\, where wildfires are becoming more frequent and severe. Fischer is recognized as one of 50 female leading scholars in the international field of fire science.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the International Institute\, Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the Office of Global Public Health. \n\nFree with registration: https://myumi.ch/GkwMp\n\n—\nABOUT THE LECTURE SERIES\nThis lecture is part of the Center for Global Health Equity's annual Distinguished Seminar Series for the 2023-2024 academic year. This year\, the series' topic is Climate Vulnerability and Health—How are we Responding?\n\nABOUT THE CENTER FOR GLOBAL HEALTH EQUITY\nThe U-M Center for Global Health Equity advances interdisciplinary engagement across our university and with global partners to equitably prevent disease and improve health in low- and middle- income countries.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Robust Aggregation of Correlated Information
DESCRIPTION:An agent makes decisions with multiple sources of information. In isolation\, each source is well understood\, but jointly their correlation is unknown. We study the agent’s robustly optimal strategies—those that give the best possible guaranteed payoff\, even under the worst possible correlation. With two states and two actions\, we show that a robustly optimal strategy uses a single information source\, ignoring all others. In general decision problems\, robustly optimal strategies combine multiple sources of information\, but the number of information sources that are needed has a bound that only depends on the decision problem. These findings provide a new rationale for why information is ignored.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar: Enstrophy Dissipation Via Self-Similar Collapse of Point Vortices in Inviscid Flows
DESCRIPTION:Enstrophy dissipation in 2D inviscid flows is a significant property characterizing 2D turbulence. In this study\, we consider \npoint-vortex solutions of the 2D filtered-Euler equations\, which are a regularized model of the 2D Euler equations\, and show that some of them cause enstrophy dissipation via self-similar collapse of point vortices in the zero limit of a filter scale. The preceding studies have proven the existence of such a dissipating solution for the three point-vortex problem. In this talk\, we numerically show that the enstrophy dissipation occurs for the four and five point-vortex problems.\n\n[Contact: R. Krasny]

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics Seminar - Multiplicative and additive determinantal inequalities for totally nonnegative matrices
DESCRIPTION:Totally positive matrices are matrices in which each minor is positive. Lusztig extended the notion to reductive Lie groups. He also proved that specialization of elements of the dual canonical basis in representation theory of quantum groups at q=1 are totally non-negative polynomials. Thus\, it is important to investigate classes of functions on matrices that are positive on totally positive matrices. I will discuss several sources of such functions. One has to do with multiplicative determinantal inequalities (joint work with M. Gekhtman). Another deals with certain partial sums of Plucker relations (joint work with P. K. Vishwakarma). The third source deals with majorizing monotonicity of symmetrized Fischer's products which are a natural generalization of Hadamard-Fischer inequalities. Majorizing monotonicity of symmetrized Fischer's products was already known for the Hermitian positive semidefinite case which brings additional motivation to verify if they hold for totally positive matrices as well (joint work with M. Skandera). The main tools we employed are network parametrization\, Temperley-Lieb and monomial trace immanants.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Title: Objectivity's Politics\n\nAbstract: Anyone with an ear for political trends will be aware that objectivity-talk is frequently taken to be politically injurious. There is a dialectic\, well established in our public culture\, that starts from the idea that some claims to objectivity aid oppression by disguising it and proceeds to the conclusion that the epistemic ideal picked out by the word “objectivity” can be re-envisioned to illuminate structural injustice and so serve justice. Questions about what objectivity is like\, and about what falls under it\, are the purview of philosophy\, yet mainstream work in analytic philosophy offers little support for this familiar liberating pattern of thought\, instead favoring the kinds of views about what objectivity amounts to that inspire complaints about its oppressive potential. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to think that there must be compelling philosophical considerations for such views about objectivity. In fact\, it is not obvious that the views owe their acceptance primarily to their philosophical merits. A notable body of social theory represents received understandings of objectivity as encoded in core capitalist structures—structures that some social theorists take to predictably cause the very forms of oppression that appeals to the relevant understandings of objectivity shroud. This raises the prospect that there are different\, interrelated reasons for regarding the apparently unremarkable philosophical task of rethinking objectivity as an exercise of political resistance\, a step toward a language of politics better suited not only for shedding light on grave injustices but for finding routes to more just forms of life.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Correlation functions in TT*-deformed conformal field theories
DESCRIPTION:I will begin by reviewing the movitations for studying the TT* deformation of two dimensional field theories\, the original formulation of this deformation\, and its formulation in terms of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. Then I will discuss how to compute correlation functions of local operators using this formulation\, in which the position of the operators is defined using the dynamical coordinates of the formalism. I will focus on the large-momentum behavior of the two-point function when the undeformed theory is a conformal field theory. The main result (based on 2304.14091) is that for momentum q it is given by |q|^{-q^2 t/\pi}\, where t is the deformation parameter. Interestingly\, the sign of the exponent is different than previous computations which resummed the small momentum expansion. The decay at large momentum manifests the non-locality of the theory\, which also appears through the fact that operators with different momentum require a different multiplicative renormalization\, and that the large-momentum behavior of the correlation function on the torus is different from the behavior mentioned above on the plane.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Dr. Karma Nanglu\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:As one of the major divisions of animal life – and the one that includes our own species – the origins of Deuterostomia (Chordata\, Echinodermata\, and Hemichordata) have been the subject of significant investigation for decades. While there are strong embryological features uniting these animals\, their adult forms bear little resemblance to each other\; therefore\, illuminating their common ancestry has been a considerable challenge. How can we link our own evolutionary history to gut-breathing worms and armor-plated urchins?\n      \nIn this talk\, I will present an overview of recent insights into deuterostome origins from my own research. I will begin with a deep dive into the enigmatic group of deuterostomes known as hemichordates. Despite being poorly understood in the past\, these animals were a diverse\, behaviorally complex\, and ecologically significant component of early Paleozoic ecosystems. These new fossil discoveries give us the ability to reconstruct the form and function of the last common ancestor to Hemichordata for the first time. I will then present the first fossil tunicate ever discovered. This new species has major implications for how we understand the evolution of this group\, and the emergence of invertebrate body plans in general. Further\, as the closest relatives of the vertebrates\, the evolutionary history of tunicates gives us the clearest view of how we diverged from invertebrates.\n      \nFinally\, I will address major outstanding questions in our search to understand deuterostome origins\, including the idea that deuterostomes are the best analogues for understanding the last common ancestor to all bilaterian animals. Taken together\, this highlights the crucial role of fossil morphology and palaeoecology in demystifying the roots of animal evolution.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Glenn Knoll Lecture: Applied Nuclear Physics at the Intersection of Science\, Technologies\, and Society
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn the spirit of Glenn Knoll\, I will discuss the continuing evolution of radiation detection and related technologies and how they impact outstanding challenges in our society. The focus will be on efforts within our Berkeley Applied Nuclear Physics program which engages in a wide range of developments and demonstrations of advanced radiation detection\, imaging\, and multi-sensor fusion concepts and technologies addressing questions in fundamental physics and medicine as well as environmental management\, nuclear security\, and emergency response. Recent developments in radiation detection and imaging in combination with the enormous advances in computer vision and data processing enable unprecedented capabilities in the detection\, mapping\, and visualization of radiological and nuclear materials even in complex and unconstrained environments. In parallel\, developments in nuclear instrumentation can also be utilized to enable new fundamental physics studies to improve the understanding of the structure of nuclei\, rare decay processes such as the neutrino-less double beta decay\, or the evolution of nuclear synthesis in our universe. In addition\, they permit important insights in the development and monitoring of advanced concepts in the treatment of cancer.  Finally\, advanced concepts in the assessment and visualization of radioactive materials can help to mitigate some of the misperceptions of nuclear radiation which remains one the obstacles in the use and expansion of nuclear energy and an important driver of detrimental health effects after radiological incidents. \n\nBiosketch:\nKai Vetter is Professor\, Vice Chair\, and Head Graduate Advisor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of California\, Berkeley\; He holds a joint position as Faculty Senior Scientist and Head of the Applied Nuclear Physics program at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and is co-founder of Gamma-Reality Inc. He obtained his Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics at the University of Frankfurt in Germany. Professor Vetter’s main research interests are in the development and demonstration of new concepts and technologies in radiation detection to address some of the outstanding challenges in fundamental sciences\, nuclear security and safety\, and health. He leads and oversees a wide range of developments in radiation detection and imaging and the fusion of nuclear with complementary data that are relevant for example in the mapping of contamination in Fukushima or the verification of ion-cancer therapy. He founded the Institute for Resilient Communities that was established in 2015 to address the need to better integrate advancements in sciences and technologies with communities locally and globally. Prof. Vetter initiated and still oversees the Berkeley Radwatch and DoseNet programs with the goal to engage the next generation in performing environmental measurements employing fundamental science and engineering concepts and to expand across regions\, nations\, and cultures. He has authored and co-authored more than 200 publications in peer-reviewed journals and is fellow of the American Physical Society. He received Presidential Citations from the American Nuclear Society twice\, for his engagement in Fukushima through measurements and enhancing community resilience.\n\nThis lecture series has been made possible by a generous endowment from Gladys Hetzner Knoll. “Glenn’s first love was his students and their research. He always enjoyed the contact he had with graduate students. This lecture series is a way that Glenn’s legacy can encourage engagement between the University of Michigan students and researchers in radiation measurement\,” said Gladys\, Professor Knoll’s wife. “The NERS department has been like an extended family to the Knoll family\, and it has been a delight to us to see it grow both in size and prestige. Glenn and I both took pride in the achievements of the faculty and their graduates\, and we felt that they\, collectively\, did work that makes our world better and safer. This is part of our legacy\, too.”

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Nonunique Ergodicity on the Boundary of Outer space
DESCRIPTION:The Culler--Vogtmann's Outer space CVn is a space of marked metric graphs\, and it compactifies to a set of Fn-trees. Each Fn-tree on the boundary of Outer space is equipped with a length measure\, and varying length measures on a topological Fn-tree gives a simplex in the boundary. The extremal points of the simplex correspond to ergodic length measures. By the results of Gabai and Lenzhen--Masur\, the maximal simplex of transverse measures on a fixed filling geodesic lamination on a complete hyperbolic surface of genus g has dimension 3g-4. In this talk\, we give the maximal simplex of length measures on an arational Fn-tree has dimension in the interval [2n-7\, 2n-2]. This is a joint work with Mladen Bestvina\, Jon Chaika\, and Elizabeth Field.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Musical Instruments of Nueva Canción: Sounds of Resistance in Latin America
DESCRIPTION:Amid the political turmoil and violence of Chilean politics in the 1960s\, musicians looked to folk forms and Indigenous instruments to create a new type of popular music: Nueva Canción. With populist themes and a fusion of styles\, Nueva Canción quickly spread beyond Chile throughout Latin America as a protest movement against fascist dictatorships\, military regimes\, and colonial intervention.\n\nWith generous support from the U-M Arts Initiative and the Virginia Martin Howard Lecture Series Endowment\, the Stearns Collection presents a mini-conference on the instruments\, music\, and social significance of Nueva Canción. \n\nFree and open to the public\; light refreshments provided.\n\nU-M Lecturer Ryan Bodiford will present a talk entitled “Signs of Defiance: Instruments as Ideological Indices in Chilean Nueva Canción.” Professor Emerita Nancy Morris of Temple University will follow with her talk “Musical Resistance and Activism: 50 Years of New Song in Chile.” Maria Castillo\, flutist and Assistant Professor of Flute at the University of Tennessee- Knoxville\, will discuss and play recordings of Nueva Canción that she grew up listening to.\n\nAttendees are also invited to visit an exhibit featuring the Indigenous instruments of Nueva Canción on the third floor of the Moore Building.

SUMMARY:Performance:Pamela Z & The Living Earth Show
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 17\n7:00 PM\nKeene Theater\, East Quad\nFree and open to the public\n\nA performance of improvisations inspired by the continued development of *This Impossible Building*\, a new piece for Pamela Z\, The Living Earth Show\, and Roomful of Teeth that explores architectural structure\, spatiality\, and layers. Created while in residence at the U-M Center for World Performance Studies with support from the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTISTS\n\nPAMELA Z is a composer/performer and media artist making works for voice\, electronics\, samples\, gesture activated MIDI controllers\, and video.

SUMMARY:Performance:\"Hourglass Showers\,\" a senior dance performance
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Department of Dance presents *Hourglass Showers*\, containing the works of senior BFA dance majors Anabelle Chalmers\, Katherine Kiessling\, Lauren Roebuck\, and Mia Rubenstein. \n\nAnabelle Chalmers’ choreography touches on themes of disaster\, exploring the collapse of humanity and its effects on social and interpersonal relationships within the group. In Chalmers' solo\, music and imagery are the driving forces of the piece\, alongside the use of storytelling and vulnerability experienced throughout her movement. \n\nKatherine Kiessling’s group work considers the various possibilities of who we become as individuals\, focusing on how we seek escapes within the mundane. Meanwhile\, Kiessling’s solo focuses primarily on the catch and release of moving between the floor and standing\, exploring all possibilities of entrances and exits.\n\nLauren Roebuck’s\, *She Cooks as Good as She Looks*\, is loosely based on the film *The Stepford Wives*. It is a character-driven dance that critiques the traditional roles of a relationship between a man and a woman in the 21st century. Roebuck’s solo\, *Goldenheart*\, is an ode to her childhood\, evoking feelings of nostalgia\, innocence\, and happiness.\n\nMia Rubenstein’s\, *I Love You Like the Sun*\, centers around the complexity of human nature\, revealing how humans can be both beautiful and ugly all at once. Rubenstein’s solo\, *Vigilance*\, deals with themes of self-doubt and the unknown that evidently leave ideas of certainty within the chaos. \n\nPerformances of this concert will be Thursday\, November 16\, through Saturday\, November 18\, 2023. Each show will begin at 8:00 p.m. (Livestreaming on November 17.) Tickets are free and are available at the door an hour prior to the performance.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chicago Farmer & The Fieldnotes
DESCRIPTION:“One of the most haunting voices of our generation”—Joe Pug\n\nThe son of a small-town farming community\, Cody Diekhoff logged plenty of highway and stage time under the name Chicago Farmer before settling in the city in 2003. Profoundly inspired by fellow Midwesterner John Prine\, he’s a working-class folk musician to his core. His small-town roots\, tilled with city streets mentality\, are turning heads North and South of I-80.\n“I love the energy\, music\, and creativity of Chicago\, but at the same time\, the roots and hard work of my small town\,” he shares. Growing up in Delavan\, Illinois\, with a population less than 2\,000\, Diekhoff’s grandparents were farmers\, and their values have always provided the baseline of his songs. \nHe writes music for “the kind of people that come to my shows. Whether in Chicago or Delavan\, everyone has a story\, and everyone puts in a long day and works hard the same way\,” he says. “My generation may have been labeled as slackers\, but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t work hard - many people I know put in 50-60 hours a week and 12-hour days. That’s what keeps me playing. I don’t like anyone to be left out\; my music is for everyone in big and very small towns.”\nHe listened to punk rock and grunge as a kid before discovering a friend’s dad playing Hank Williams\, and it was a revelation. Prine and Guthrie quickly followed. The name Chicago Farmer was originally for a band\, but the utilitarian life of driving alone from bar to bar\, city to city - to make a direct connection to his audience and listener\, took a deeper hold.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4280/4281 for more detail.
