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.

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.

The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: a. The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the other portions. The final result/score/rating will thus be based on the student’s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary. b. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.c. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.\nWhere can I view my results?Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.Important information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Students can take intensive Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 &102\, combined)\, and Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) in the Spring/Summer terms.If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

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:110231-21824647@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.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/73Db9.\n\nExisting studies on assortative mating in China have primarily focused on its determinants as well as consequences regarding marital stability and quality. However\, little is known about its effect on marital infidelity. Are those with similar characteristics more likely to remain faithful in the marriage? Are those who bring “more” to the marriage more prone to infidelity because they have the upper hand? Or\, are those who are more dependent on the marriage more likely to engage in infidelity as a compensatory act? Using newly available data from the Chinese Private Life Survey\, we examine the association between marital infidelity and patterns of assortative mating in the context of China\, where educational homogamy becomes the norm but income hypergamy still prevails (men out-earning women). Our findings show a complex interplay of resources\, status\, and dependency in a highly gendered environment. We find that marriages in which the wife is more educated than the husband exhibit a higher likelihood of experiencing extramarital affairs than those marriages in which the husband and wife have similar education levels. Contrary to our expectation\, marriages in which the husband out-earns the wife are more likely to remain faithful than marriages where incomes are equal. Results also show that there are some trade-offs between education and income. For example\, among all types of educational and income pairings of the spouses\, marriages in which the wife is more educated but makes less money than the husband are the most likely to experience extramarital affairs. It is worth noting that the observed patterns are mainly driven by the subsample of men\, who on average are 1.7 times more likely to be unfaithful than women. Our study demonstrates the limited utility of classic perspectives on marital exchange and underscores the evolving and asymmetric nature of gender power dynamics in marriages in a society with a longstanding patriarchal tradition juxtaposed with changing gender relations.\n \n Feinian Chen is a Professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University and Director for the Hopkins Population Center.

After exploring some general theory\, we specalize to a particular pseudo-variety denoted by ε that arises naturally in constructing end point compactifications of connected abstract graphs. We show that any connected secondcountable pro-ε graph has a profinite analogue of spanning tree as in connected abstract graphs. The structure of pro-ε graphs and their fundamental profinite groups are shown to be analogous in certain ways to that of abstract graphs and their fundamental groups.

However\, existing literature on trust modeling predominantly focuses on dyadic human-robot teams\, and there is little\, if not no\, research on trust modeling in multi-human-multi-robot (MHMR) teams. To fill this research gap\, we propose the Trust Inference and Propagation (TIP) model\, a mathematical framework for computational trust modeling in MHMR teams. The TIP model accounts for both the direct and indirect experiences that a human agent has with a robot\, successfully capturing the underlying trust dynamics and significantly outperforming a baseline model. In addition\, to foster trust in MHMR teams\, we develop an online learning algorithm for real-time\, optimal team formation in dynamic\, collaborative environments. Specifically\, we model the teaming problem as a matching linear bandit and show the proposed algorithm achieves sublinear regret\, which offers a promising avenue for real-time\, optimal team formation that goes beyond static or pre-planned strategies.\n\n\nPresenter Bio:\nYaohui Guo is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan.

The initial project focuses on the “skin”\, or surface\, of bacteria called the cell envelope\, which mediates infection of the host and protects bacteria from host immune defense tactics. While Gram-negative bacteria contain a protective outer membrane layer absent in most Gram-positives\, almost all bacteria contain polymers composed of unique monosaccharides that extend from the cell surface. Gram-negative bacteria typically contain lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the outer leaflet of the outer membrane with attached polysaccharides called O-antigens that help mediate interactions with the environment. O-antigens are composed of repeating oligosaccharides that define particular bacterial serotypes\, which distinguishes bacterial strains within a single species. Foundational chemical biology work has contributed to our understanding of eukaryotic cell surface composition. However\, we still lack a clear understanding of assembly of bacterial surface glycan polymers that contain prokaryote-specific or “rare” sugars. In this talk\, we describe synthetic and chemoenzymatic methods to construct rare nucleotide sugars to study substrate recognition by bacterial glycosyltransferases that build O-antigens. We identify key regions in sugar substrates that are required for substrate binding and activity\, and we use this knowledge to design chemical probes that will be used for the construction of synthetic O-antigens and small molecule inhibitors that will stall O-antigen synthesis. This work will expand our understanding of cellular mechanisms underlying bacterial polysaccharide synthesis\, and will teach us about the roles that rare sugars play in bacterial cellular interactions.\n\nThe latter project focuses on DnaK\, the bacterial homolog of Hsp70\, an ATP-dependent chaperone that functions in concert with cofactor proteins to catalyze nascent protein folding and salvage misfolded proteins. In the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis\, the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB)\, DnaK and its cofactor proteins DnaJ1\, DnaJ2 and GrpE are proposed drug targets. Despite the importance of chaperone function in human cancers and infectious disease\, there are limited chemical probes or inhibitors that enable in vivo studies on the function of individual chaperones/cofactors. In this talk\, we describe the discovery of small molecule inhibitors of mycobacterial DnaK\, most notably a peptidomimetic called telaprevir\, which is able to inhibit chaperone function through interactions with the peptide-binding cleft of DnaK. Binding of telaprevir leads to allosteric conformational changes that prevent ATP hydrolysis in a distal domain. We find that telaprevir also inhibits E. coli DnaK and human Hsc70 chaperones due to high conservation of Hsp70 sequences. Using in vitro and in vivo chaperone assays\, we demonstrate that telaprevir modulates the function of mycobacterial DnaK and its cofactor protein DnaJ2 in cells\, which disrupts cellular proteostasis. Co-treatment of mycobacteria with telaprevir and aminoglycosides\, which further stress the proteome\, enhances the potency of these antibiotics. In addition\, telaprevir combats mycobacterial resistance to the frontline TB drug rifampin\, as DnaK-DnaJ2 function is required for stabilization of protein mutants that confer drug tolerance. This work sets the stage for our current work on the design of peptide-based inhibitors with higher selectivity for bacterial chaperones to probe chaperone-protein interactions and explore resulting synergy with different classes of antibiotics.

The goal is to find a mapping from the source to the target\, in a way that minimizes distances. A remarkable fact discovered by Caffarelli is that\, in some specific cases of interest\, the optimal transport maps on a Euclidean metric space are Lipschitz. Lipschitz regularity is a desirable property because it allows for the transfer of analytic properties between measures. This perspective has proven to be widely influential\, with applications extending beyond the field of optimal transport.\n\nIn this talk\, we will further explore transport maps with low distortion. The key point which we shall highlight is that\, for low distortion mappings\, the optimality conditions mentioned above do not play a major role. Instead of minimizing distances\, we will consider a general construction of transport maps based on probabilistic flows\, and introduce a set of techniques to analyze their distortion. In particular\, we will go beyond the Euclidean setting and consider Riemannian manifolds as well as infinite-dimensional spaces.\n\nWe shall also discuss the emerging and intimate connections between our construction and recent advances in algorithms for generative modeling.

Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99340604276\n\n--------\nThis talk suggests the term “petronoir” to describe prestige and art films from Africa that re-tool the narrative and formal conventions of film noir to denounce the endlessly deferred promises of oil-based national development and infrastructural modernity. The films analyzed in this presentation detail patchwork\, failed\, or underdeveloped petroleum infrastructures across several African cities and closely examine the novel forms of labor and sociality that emerge in response to energy shortage. These films project infrastructural longing and\, at the same time\, testify to the creativity of Africans living with under-resourced energy distribution networks. \n\nIn these ways\, petronoir African cinema intervenes in the dominant discourse of climate crisis and energy transition. It reminds us that our efforts to address global warming and break free from fossil fuels must grapple with the modest and justified energy demands of those on the margins of petromodernity.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nDr. Garritano works at the intersection of politics and film and media\, and her research has been supported by Fulbright IIE\, the West African Research Association\, and the US Department of Education’s FLAS program. Trained in African area studies\, her writing combines theoretically-grounded inquiry with ethnographic and archival research methods. Her first book\, \"African Video Movies and Global Desires: A Ghanaian History\" (Ohio University Press\, 2013)\, is a historical account of movie production in Ghana\, beginning with the first films of the Gold Coast Colonial Film Unit\, through the struggles of the Ghana Film Industry Corporation\, and finally to the emergence and growth of a loosely-configured\, commercial movie industry between the late 1980s and 2010. The book was selected as a Choice Outstanding Academic Title and was awarded The First Book Award by the African Literature Association. \n\nAdditionally\, she is co-editor\, with Kenneth W. Harrow\, of \"A Companion to African Cinema\" (Wiley-Blackwell\, 2019)\, a volume that brings together some of the most exciting writing on African film and media today. It spotlights research that draws from well-established methods\, such as postcolonial theory\, as well as new work informed by affect theory\, film festival studies\, and sound studies. \n\nDr. Garritano has also published writing on African literature\, postcolonialism\, and Nollywood. Her work has appeared in top-tier journals such as The Journal of Cinema and Media Studies\, Modern Fiction Studies\, Black Camera\, The Cambridge Journal of Postcolonial Literary Inquiry\, African Studies Review\, and Research in African Literatures.\n\n--------\nFor questions about the event or to request accommodations\, please email ecnirp@umich.edu.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: There has been a recent surge in attention towards trustworthy AI\, especially as it starts playing a pivotal role in high-stakes domains such as healthcare\, the justice system\, and finance. Causal inference emerges as a promising path toward building AI systems that are stable\, fair\, and explainable. However\, it often hinges on precise and strong assumptions. In this talk\, I introduce sparse causal learning as a common ground between trustworthy AI and robust causal inference. Here\, sparsity plays a dual role in enhancing explainability and ensuring the robust identification of causal effects. Specifically\, I reconsider the supervised learning problem of predicting an outcome using multiple predictors through the lens of causality. I demonstrate that it is possible to remove spurious correlations caused by unmeasured confounding by leveraging low-dimensional structures in the predictors. I study its identifiability using an expert voting approach and show that sparsity provides a promising path to transforming exact causal inference methods into multiply robust identification frameworks. Furthermore\, I introduce the synthetic instrument\, a novel tool for constructing instrumental variables and estimating causal effects. This new approach leads to algorithms that are theoretically justifiable\, computationally feasible\, and statistically sound.\n\nhttps://sites.google.com/site/linbowangpku/ UID:114911-21833777@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114911 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231130T181507 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231205T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231205T190000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Dismantling the Now and Then: Stamps MFA Students Symposium DESCRIPTION:Participants of the Art Theory graduate seminar taught by Professor Irina Aristarkhova invite you to an open session in the form of a symposium\, with an introduction by David Chung\, Professor and Director of MFA Program\, moderated by Dylan AT Miner\, Professor and Senior Associate Dean for Research\, Creative Practice\, and Graduate Education.\n\nPresentations by Scott A.

Although presented as objects of rescue\, mascots were mobilized in dangerous roles that marked their militarized collusion and recalled their original status as permissible targets of war violence. Although propagated as proof of the U.S. military’s colorblind humanitarianism\, the Korean War mascot\, as indigenous life made over as potential adoptee\, thus demands theorization as an object of colonial conquest. As a war remnant\, a singularity whose obverse was the mass casualty\, the Korean mascot hovered in a gray zone between friend and enemy as a form of queer life.\n \n Christine Hong is Professor of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies (CRES) and Literature.

Joyce\, and Laura Ruetsche's Collegiate Professorship in Philosophy\, Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:This event will take place both in person and virtually. Additional details regarding each lecture can be found below.\n\nProfessor Gordon Belot\, the Lawrence Sklar Collegiate Professor of Philosophy\n\nLecture Title: On the Road to Truth\n\nAbstract: This talk will explore some questions raised by Larry Sklar in Theory and Truth. What does it mean to be a realist about our scientific theories in our present predicament\, in which we are virtually certain that the best theories of physics cannot be true\, strictly speaking\, because they break down or make false predictions in certain regimes? Sklar suggests that to be a realist in this setting is to be confident that our best current theories are in some sense stations on the road to truth—but what precisely does that mean? \n\nProfessor James M. Joyce\, the Cooper Harold Langford Collegiate Professor of Philosophy\n\nLecture Title: Decision Making and the Accuracy of Beliefs\n\nLecture Abstract: Epistemologists have long focused on belief as the basic epistemic attitude\, with the understanding that a belief is fully successful only if true. In the 20th Century\, however\, some philosophers began to see degrees of confidence\, or credences\, as more fundamental\, largely because of their ties to rational action. The philosopher Frank Ramsey and statistician Bruno de Finetti famously argued that (i) a rational person's credences will be revealed in her betting behavior\, and (ii) that a person whose credences do not obey the laws of probability will accept \"books\" of bets that\, in the aggregate\, lose money no matter what the world is like. These \"pragmatic\" (action centered) arguments were used to justify probabilism\, the idea that rational credences must be subjective probabilities. But\, many epistemologists were dissatisfied with this pragmatic approach since it did not ultimately relate the quality of credences to their accuracy or \"closeness to the truth\". As a response to these complaints\, I sought to define a meaningful sense of accuracy for credences\, and to show that probabilism could be seen as a means to pursuing credal accuracy. I knew de Finetti had offered an argument that could be adapted for this purpose\, but it had limited applicability and was still pragmatic in spirit. While searching for something more general\, and more clearly epistemic\, I was attending the UM Decision Consortium\, run by Frank Yates of the Psychology Department. One day Frank pointed me to his wonderful book Judgment and Decision Making\, which introduced me to the use of strictly proper scoring rules to measure the accuracy of probabilistic forecasts. This turned out to be exactly what I needed! In two related papers\, I argued that any reasonable score of credal accuracy should be a strictly proper scoring rule\, and that for a wide range of such rules probabilism follows in this sense: for any system of credences that violates the laws of probability there is a system of credences that satisfies those laws and is more accurate in every possible state of the world. \n\nProfessor Laura Ruetsche\, the Louis E. Loeb Collegiate Professor of Philosophy\n\nLecture Title: \"The Physics of Ignorance: Believe It or Not?\"\n\nLecture Abstract: Should we believe our very best theories of physics? Scientific realists urge that we should: the best way to make sense of a theory's remarkable success\, they argue\, is to suppose that the world is (more or less) the way that theory says it is. Most physicists regard our very best theories of physics\, including those making up the Standard Model of contemporary particle physics\, to be effective theories. Not itself fundamentally or universally valid\, an effective theory is rather\, within an avowedly limited domain\, an able mimic of more fundamental theories. But what do we believe\, when we believe an able mimic? And is that something we should believe? I'll critically consider a resourceful realist answer to these questions. I'll also defend an alternative that becomes available once we liberate ourselves from a constrictive presupposition: that to understand a theory\, we must articulate the way that theory says the world is.\n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, please click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/94991398665\nOr One tap mobile :\n +13126266799\,\,94991398665# US (Chicago)\n +16468769923\,\,94991398665# US (New York)\nOr Telephone:\n Dial(for higher quality\, dial a number based on your current location):\n +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n +1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n +1 646 931 3860 US\n +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n +1 305 224 1968 US\n +1 309 205 3325 US\n +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n +1 360 209 5623 US\n +1 386 347 5053 US\n +1 507 473 4847 US\n +1 564 217 2000 US\n +1 669 444 9171 US\n +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n +1 689 278 1000 US\n +1 719 359 4580 US\n +1 253 205 0468 US\n +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n +1 778 907 2071 Canada\n +1 780 666 0144 Canada\n +1 204 272 7920 Canada\n +1 438 809 7799 Canada\n +1 587 328 1099 Canada\n +1 647 374 4685 Canada\n +1 647 558 0588 Canada\nWebinar ID: 949 9139 8665\n International numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/acyk7LEIws\n\nOr an H.323/SIP room system:\n H.323: \n 162.255.37.11 (US West)\n 162.255.36.11 (US East)\n 115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n 115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n 213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n 213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n 103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n 103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n 149.137.40.110 (Singapore)\n 64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n 149.137.68.253 (Mexico)\n 69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n 65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n 207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n 149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\n Meeting ID: 949 9139 8665\n SIP: 94991398665@zoomcrc.com UID:110150-21824407@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/110150 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Philosophy LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 10th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231220T123123 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231205T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231205T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Disney Auditions - A World of Opportunity DESCRIPTION:Join the Disney Talent Casting team for an interactive discussion on the global performance opportunities available with Disney Live Entertainment!

A reinterpretation of intense traditional Korean music for orchestra\, this colorful and exciting piece utilizes traditional Korean percussion quartet music\, Samulnori\, and combines various traditional Korean rhythmic patterns with shamanistic music and popular Korean folk songs. *Samdo* will be conducted by Yeo Ryeong Ahn\, native of Seoul\, Korea\, and orchestral conducting student in her final year as a doctoral student in orchestral conducting. \n\nRenowned percussionists and SMTD faculty members Ian Antonio and Douglas Perkins are featured in the highly charged and virtuosic *Concerto for Two Percussionists* by Jonathan Leshnoff\, followed by the Fifth Symphony by Shostakovich.\n\nFor most of his life\, Shostakovich tried to stay in the good graces of the government while being true to himself and his art. In 1934\, after Stalin went to see Shostakovich’s new opera *Lady Macbeth of Mtensk*\, Pravda published an article\, possibly written by Stalin himself\, which condemned the composer and his new opera\, calling it “chaos instead of music.” Shostakovich aimed to redeem (protect) himself with his new symphony\, which he described as “A Soviet Artist's Response to Just Criticism.” At its premiere\, which received an ovation lasting more than 30 minutes\, he managed to please the government while sending the masses a very different message of resistance and forced optimism. Its epic quality and combination of brass fanfares\, soulful songs\, folk music\, militaristic marches\, and sounds of the Russian Orthodox Church\, has made it one of the most popular pieces in the repertoire of symphony orchestras worldwide.\n UID:115453-21834693@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/115453 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Free,In Person,Lecture,Music,Talk LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231110T121712 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231205T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231205T210000 SUMMARY:Performance:Siwon Kim\, piano DESCRIPTION:Graduate student Siwon Kim performs a recital.

A reinterpretation of intense traditional Korean music for orchestra\, this colorful and exciting piece utilizes traditional Korean percussion quartet music\, Samulnori\, and combines various traditional Korean rhythmic patterns with shamanistic music and popular Korean folk songs. *Samdo* will be conducted by Yeo Ryeong Ahn\, native of Seoul\, Korea\, and orchestral conducting student in her final year as a doctoral student in orchestral conducting. \n\nRenowned percussionists and SMTD faculty members Ian Antonio and Douglas Perkins are featured in the highly charged and virtuosic *Concerto for Two Percussionists* by Jonathan Leshnoff\, followed by the Fifth Symphony by Shostakovich.\n\nFor most of his life\, Shostakovich tried to stay in the good graces of the government while being true to himself and his art. In 1934\, after Stalin went to see Shostakovich’s new opera *Lady Macbeth of Mtensk*\, Pravda published an article\, possibly written by Stalin himself\, which condemned the composer and his new opera\, calling it “chaos instead of music.” Shostakovich aimed to redeem (protect) himself with his new symphony\, which he described as “A Soviet Artist's Response to Just Criticism.” At its premiere\, which received an ovation lasting more than 30 minutes\, he managed to please the government while sending the masses a very different message of resistance and forced optimism. Its epic quality and combination of brass fanfares\, soulful songs\, folk music\, militaristic marches\, and sounds of the Russian Orthodox Church\, has made it one of the most popular pieces in the repertoire of symphony orchestras worldwide.\n\nThis performance will be preceded by a pre-concert conversation about the music and the artists at 7:15 in the Hill Auditorium Lower Lobby.
