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.

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).

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Simplifying Synthesis at the Interface of Organic and Materials Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Porous framework materials\, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)\, are highly tunable materials with myriad potential applications ranging from chemical separations to gas storage to catalysis. This is due to the unusual local environment offered by their pores. Herein we will discuss how this tunability can be used to unlock new reactive species relevant to organic synthesis and catalysis\, focusing on fluorination chemistry\, which is critical to the pharmaceutical\, polymer\, and agrochemical industries. We will also draw inspiration from organic chemistry for the design of new chemical separations and electrocatalytically active materials.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Laozi’s Perspectives on Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/RpArW.\n\nComputers\, smart phones\, cloud computing and intelligent robots all embody the concept of innovation as embedded in Laozi’s (老子) theories of nature- you (有） and wu (無)\, or\, the Real and Virtual. In this talk\, Dr. Lin explains why the teachings of this sagacious sixth century BCE Chinese philosopher are extremely precious for nurturing scientific innovation - the application of science to create new value or new wealth. He will also highlight Laozi’s concepts of respect\, trust\, and diversity and discuss why all are fundamental to innovation sustainability.\n   \n   Otto Chui-Chau Lin has been a leading figure in advocating the creation of innovation systems in Taiwan\, Hong Kong\, and China. From 1987-1994\, he served as President of Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI)\, a consortium of applied technology laboratories dedicated to the development of Taiwan's high-tech industry into fields such as semiconductors\, automation\, integrated circuit testing\, optical electronic systems\, consumer electronics\, composite materials\, and specialty chemicals. From 1997-2007\, Lin served as Vice-President for Research and Development at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)\, spearheading the creation of the Nansha IT Park to promote technology development in the Pearl River Delta. After his retirement in 2009\, Lin has continued to lecture\, consult\, and teach\, serving as honorary professor and senior advisor at several universities including Tsinghua (Beijing)\, Shanghai Jiaotong\, Hong Kong Polytech\, and Hong Kong Baptist. He has written four books in Chinese and one in English\, focusing on the connections between soft power\, innovation\, entrepreneurship\, and the philosophies of Laozi and Confucius.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Hear\, Here: Humanities Up Close
DESCRIPTION:With the “Hear\, Here” series\, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk:\nHow might the act of writing Civil War-era memoirs\, letters\, and diaries have helped Black people negotiate intense personal and community challenges?

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG Number Theory: Motivic sheaves on affine flag varieties
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk I will discuss a categorification of integral generic Hecke algebras using motivic sheaves on affine flag varieties. This eliminates the dependence on the chosen cohomology theory\, such as l-adic or Betti cohomology\, in previous works. At the unramified level this amounts to a motivic version of the geometric Satake equivalence. On the other extreme\, at the Iwahori level we construct a motivic version of Gaitsgory's central functor. This is joint work with T. van den Hove and J. Scholbach.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“all their rage and malice”: Maria W. Stewart\, Audience Resistance\, and Nineteenth-Century African American Oratory
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture by Dr. Laura Mielke from the University of Kansas.\n\nAfrican American public speakers in the nineteenth century countered the white gaze by sharing observations of audiences\, whether majority Black or white\, male or female—or “promiscuous.” Orators including Frederick Douglass\, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper\, Charles Langston\, Henry Highland Garnet\, and Sojourner Truth referred to\, described\, analyzed\, and poeticized audiences\, often beckoning ideal assemblies when actual ones proved resistant. This lecture will consider such rhetorical uses of audience before focusing on the example of Maria W. Stewart (1803-1879)\, who bolstered her ethos by linking contemporary responses to her words with scriptural accounts of the prophets’ reception. Approaching Stewart in the broader context of nineteenth-century Black orators’ innovative interpretations of audience allows a rich understanding of her rhetorical legacy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar |  N-point van Hove singularity origin of the Hidden Order phase of URu2Si2
DESCRIPTION:The 5f heavy fermion system of URu2Si2 is famous for an unconventional “hidden order” (HO) phase transition at T0=17.5K that has been a topic of study for 35 years. A new model is proposed for the underlying physics to be the existence of a van Hove singularity saddle-band dispersion at the Brillouin zone N-point that is only a few meV below the Fermi level\, and thus thermally active at T0.    The new model\, based on temperature-dependent angle resolved photoemission (ARPES) measurements in comparison to DMFT electronic structure calculations [1]\,  is further confirmed by additional ARPES observation of the N-point spectral and dichroic changes for various chemically doped phases with different ferromagnetic\, antiferromagnetic or non-magnetic ground states.\n\n[1] J.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium Series Seminar: Non-abelian Hodge theory and the P=W conjecture
DESCRIPTION:Non-abelian Hodge theory relates topological and algebro-geometric objects associated to a compact Riemann surface. More precisely\, complex representations of the fundamental group are in correspondence with algebraic vector bundles\, equipped with an extra structure called a Higgs field. This yields a transcendental matching between two very different moduli spaces: the character variety (parametrizing representations of the fundamental group) and the Hitchin moduli space (parametrizing Higgs bundles). In 2010\, de Cataldo\, Hausel\, and Migliorini proposed the P=W conjecture\, which links precisely the topology of the Hitchin integrable system and the Hodge theory of the character variety. I will introduce the conjecture\, review its recent proofs\, and discuss how the geometry hidden behind the P=W phenomenon is connected to other branches of mathematics.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAF Lab | Hostile Legislation\, Digital Activism\, and TransCrip Stories
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend on Zoom: https://myumi.ch/EPMnk\n\nOur social media feeds are cluttered with unending news of impending legislation\, policy rollbacks\, and vociferous attacks on BIPOC\, transgender\, queer\, and disabled people. So-called “anti-woke” schooling efforts have resulted in the dismantling of DEI infrastructures in numerous universities and school districts\, alongside statewide adoptions of right-wing curricula that reinvents histories on race and racism in the U.S. Anti-trans actors have successfully lobbied for bans on gender-affirming care and have spearheaded campaigns that target all domains of trans life\, ranging across access to bathrooms\, medicine\, sports\, and learning. Our home institutions have declared the COVID-19 pandemic to be over\, all while immunocompromised\, chronically ill\, and disabled people continue to die. \n\nIn the midst of this onslaught\, how do we survive\, much less maintain optimism? This roundtable and workshop considers digital storying as a means for maintaining and amplifying community.\n\n\nThis event will be held on Zoom. We want to make our events accessible to all participants. CART services will be provided.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Yun Yang\, Associate Professor\, Department of Statistics\, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The estimation of distributions of complex objects from high-dimensional data with low-dimensional structures is an important topic in statistics and machine learning. Modern generative modeling techniques accomplish this by encoding and decoding data to generate new\, realistic synthetic data objects\, including images and texts. A key aspect of these models is the extraction of low-dimensional latent features\, assuming the data lies on a low-dimensional manifold. Our study develops a minimax framework for distribution estimation on unknown submanifolds\, incorporating smoothness assumptions on both the target distribution and the manifold. Through the perspective of minimax rates\, we examine some existing popular generative models\, such as variational autoencoders\, generative adversarial networks\, and score-based generative models. By analyzing their theoretical properties\, we characterize their statistical capabilities in implicit distribution estimation and identify certain limitations that could lead to potential improvements.\n\nhttps://sites.google.com/site/yunyangstat/

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Annual Borka Tomljenović Lecture. Alternative Narratives: Social Knowledge of Literature in the Post-Yugoslav Cultural Field
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Annual Borka Tomljenović Lecture will address Yugoslav socialism in contemporary literature and culture after the collapse of socialism in the broader cultural\, political and economic context of Eastern Europe. Unlike so-called ‘’peaceful revolutions’’ in the rest of Eastern Europe\, the collapse of socialism and the disintegration of Yugoslavia in a tragic war influenced the course of a specific local transition where change of the social system went hand in hand with a thorough and rapid metamorphosis of a new collective identity. A particular ideological treatment of Yugoslavia and socialism in institutional memory and mainstream political discourse continues to hold a prominent place in the process of building a new identity. Parallel to this process\, a large number of literary and cultural texts articulated specific narratives about the recent socialist past. In this talk\, Maša Kolanović will provide insight into various figures and modes of literary and cultural articulations of the specific politics of remembrance\, producing affective tones of nostalgia\, melancholy\, humor\, trauma\, as well as irony and parody\, which are characteristic of the works of Dubravka Ugrešić\, Miljenko Jergović\, Ratko Cvetnić\, Lana Bastašić and others.\n   \nMaša Kolanović is an associate professor in the Department of Croatian Studies at the University of Zagreb and a multi-genre writer. Her works include the poetry collection *Pijavice za usamljene (Leeches for the Lonely)*\, the novel *Sloboština Barbie (Underground Barbie)*\, the prose poem *Jamerika*\, and the short story collection *Poštovani kukci i druge jezive price (Dear Pests and Other Chilling Stories)*. Following her monograph *Udarnik! Buntovnik? Potrošač…Hrvatski roman i popularna kultura od socijalizma do tranzicije (Strike! Rebel? Consumer…The Croatian Novel from Socialism to Transition)*\, which she completed in 2011 for her PhD in Croatian language and comparative literature\, she published articles on literature and popular culture. She co-edited the volumes: *Komparativni postsocijalizam: slavenska iskustva (Comparative Post-socialism: Slavic Experiences)*\; *The Cultural Life of Capitalism in Yugoslavia* with D. Jelača and D. Lugarić\; *Povijest\, tekst\, kontekst (History\, Text\, Context)* with L. Molvarec\; and *Ekonomija i književnost (Economy and Literature)* with L. Molvarec and M. Hameršak. Her short story collection *Dear Pests and Other Chilling Stories* received the 2020 European Prize for Literature\, the Pula Book Fair Audience Award\, and the Vladimir Nazor Prize for Literature. Maša Kolanović is a member of Croatian Academy of Science and Art.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.
