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.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture\, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as\nscribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core\, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding\, augmenting\, slicing\, repeating\, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception\, sympathy\, hierarchy\, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.\n\nPeter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan. He currently serves on faculty at College for Creative Studies UID:116532-21837309@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116532 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240206T083701 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T100000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Psychology Methods Hour: \"Uncovering urgency in daily life: Testing a novel method for assessing affect-impulsivity cooccurrence in momentary data\" DESCRIPTION:Impulsivity and urgency\, a facet of impulsivity defined as the tendency to engage in impulsive behavior when experiencing strong emotions\, have wide-ranging implications for physical and mental health. Research on urgency\, however\, is at a crossroads. On the one hand\, there is an extensive body of research on trait self-reports of urgency\, suggesting that urgency is a valid and robust construct. On the other hand\, more recent work using ambulatory assessment methods has suggested that trait self-reports of urgency are unrelated to state urgency\, assessed as the covariance between people’s experienced emotions and impulsivity in the moment. In this Methods Hour talk\, we will discuss some of the challenges with assessing urgency in the moment as well as the potential implications of a novel conceptualization of state urgency. Are state and trait urgency different constructs? Are trait measures of urgency truly capturing the theorized construct? How is state urgency best assessed in the moment?

His new work—created for his exhibition at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery—is personal and abstract. Started as an attempt to paint for himself\, away from the center of things and off at the edges\, they are from the spaces of private thought that slip into existence and just as easily slip away. They come from an internal conversation and contact with the world. \"When I am with them\,\" Riley explains\, \"I feel a tension between the spaces in the works being present but unnamed. The paintings allow me to observe myself looking. I am acutely aware of time. Maybe they are an invitation to speculate.\" UID:116414-21836791@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116414 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Black History Month,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A.

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition.\n \nThis exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections\, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene\, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, U-M Office of the President\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and U-M Ross School of Business.\n  UID:114750-21833427@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Public Health,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

How have their perspectives shaped the enduring stories of our history and visions of the past?\n \nYou’re Welcome is a three-part installation and dynamic intervention that exposes the histories and narratives of the land occupied by the University of Michigan and UMMA’s neoclassical building\, Alumni Memorial Hall. A large-scale commission from artist Cannupa Hanska Luger on the exterior of UMMA’s building asks the campus and community to reconsider the memories molded into the Museum’s stone — the perspectives that shaped those traditions and the stories that remain unseen in our facade. This artistic interrogation dissects colonialist norms of monument-making\, explores the roles of buildings in upholding selected cultural systems\, and develops new forms of memorials that center Indigenous perspectives and collaboration to tell fuller stories and histories. \n \nLuger communicates stories of 21st-century Indigeneity\, sovereignty\, and anti-colonialism while offering critical cultural analysis through deep engagements with materials\, environments\, and communities. In addition to the exterior commission\, a gallery exhibition places Luger’s works of art in conversation with objects in UMMA’s collection\, allowing for discussion and thinking on long histories of collecting practices\, environmental degradation\, and the afterlife of colonialism. And\, a monument classroom from nonprofit public art and history studio Monument Lab invites the community to come together and examine how historic structures on the University of Michigan’s campus uphold social and cultural systems and narratives.  \n\nLead support for this project is provided by Teiger Foundation\, the U-M Office of the Provost\, the U-M Office of the President\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, the U-M Marsal Family School of Education\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, Michigan Humanities\, and the U-M Arts Initiative.

Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows\, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way\, too.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and the Oakriver Foundation.\n  UID:86001-21795812@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/86001 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Faculty,Museum,Nature,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240212T160824 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Seminar Series: Dogyoon Song\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department\, University of Michigan DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Accurate and reliable prediction of outcomes is essential for decision-making across various domains such as healthcare\, finance\, and autonomous driving. Today’s data-rich landscape offers unprecedented opportunities for enhancing predictions to inform actionable decisions. While various statistical and machine learning (ML) approaches have been improving data-driven predictions and decisions\, challenges remain in providing both a robust theoretical foundation and versatility to handle large\, complex data. To address this critical gap\, my research aims to advance the decision-making process by integrating ML algorithms with statistical principles. This integration will not only strengthen the fundamental aspects of ML approaches\, but also create versatile\, reliable ML methods\, ultimately empowering decision-makers in real-world scenarios.\n\nIn this seminar\, I will present two research projects demonstrating the synergy between statistics and ML. The first focuses on developing predictive methods resilient to data corruption and complex response variables\, by addressing errors-in-variables regression with a metric-space-valued response. This work highlights the synergy between ML approach and statistical modeling for versatile prediction with error mitigation. The second focuses on increasing decision reliability through calibrated predictions. Reexamining classical concepts in calibration\, we propose a holistic viewpoint for probability calibration\, yielding a distribution-free probability calibration method with judicious parameter selection. These studies underscore the potentials of integrating statistical rigor and advanced ML algorithms to elevate the accuracy\, reliability\, and efficiency of decision-making processes in diverse applications. Time permitting\, I will conclude the talk by sharing a glimpse into my ongoing efforts and future research directions.

Open to Faculty\, Admin/Staff\, and Postdocs. Some sessions open to Graduate Students.\n\nABOUT THIS EVENT\nProject management skills are essential for the success of community-engaged projects\, yet formal instruction of these skills is often not included in the preparation that students receive for community-engaged assignments\, research\, and projects. In this workshop for faculty and staff\, participants will learn about prerequisite project management skills that students need to know before they enter into community-engaged projects. From effective communication strategies to project onboarding templates\, we’ll identify pedagogical strategies for teaching these key skills to students\, improving coordination with community stakeholders\, and supporting the continued development of students' project management skills as a community-engaged project unfolds. Guest speakers Bri Christy (Community Technical Assistance Collaborative at Ginsberg Center) and Caitlin Posillico (LSA Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences) will highlight practices for students in course and program-based projects\, showing how traditional project management techniques can be adapted for these contexts.\n\nFor details & registration: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/13803 UID:116174-21836373@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116174 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Community Engagement,Faculty,Free,Graduate Students,Postdoctoral Research Fellows,Professional Development,Research,Staff,Workshop LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240302T003149 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Join Army Civilian Careers at the 38th BEYA STEM Conference CareerFair DESCRIPTION:You are invited to visit the Army Civilian Careers booth (#901) at the 38th Black Engineer of the Year Awards (BEYA) STEM Conference Career Fair taking place on Friday (10am-4pm)\, February 16th & Saturday (10am-4pm)\, February 17th\, 2024\, IN-PERSON at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore\, Maryland. \n\nWe are seeking driven\, high-performing teammates\, and we will provide opportunities to apply your talent to make apositive difference through meaningful work.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621210@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240219T000025 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event: Commonwealth Cup Weekend 1 DESCRIPTION:BFly's first tournament of 2024 UID:118279-21840821@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/118279 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Smith River Sports Complex CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240212T160421 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:2024 Undergraduate Juried Exhibition DESCRIPTION:The Stamps School’s annual Undergraduate Juried Exhibition is a showcase of outstanding work produced by Stamps undergraduate students taking place at Stamps Gallery from February 9-24\, 2024. \nA highly anticipated Stamps School tradition\, the objectives of the Undergraduate Juried Exhibition are: \nTo encourage and inspire undergraduates to create high-caliber and ambitious artwork.To create an opportunity where all undergraduates can develop the experience\, knowledge\, and skills in preparing an application for a juried exhibition.To foster a vibrant culture of participating in exhibitions and public programs at Stamps School.

This new spotlight surfaces research that has been conducted by many scholars for much longer\, highlighting their commitment to telling stories and honoring perspectives of diverse and minority communities. Their work reveals that while there is no unified queer experience in the region\, there is often a one-size-fits all state response to the reality of queer lives in many nations within the region. \n\nHow can a queer-studies focus advance conversations about decolonization in East European and Eurasian Studies? To address this question\, Queer Focus will have seven virtual panels featuring speakers from various disciplines and institutions. Panelists and participants will explore how gendered regimes were constitutive of Russo-centric relationships of power\, defining the region and how we study it\, as we collectively grapple with what it means to re-examine our current research\, teaching\, and institutional practices.\n\n*Panel 4 of the series will take a legal and political perspective on queer studies within the region. * UID:117923-21840195@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/117923 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:eastern europe,Gender,International LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240111T102340 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T123000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Critical Conversations: Visuality DESCRIPTION:In the first thematic Critical Conversations panel of the winter term\, speakers from across disciplines and programs will present 6-8 minute flash talks on the topic of “Visuality” with a Q&A following.

For decades\, those concerned with the information environment have understandably focused on mass media\, but many Americans do not learn about politics from direct engagement with the news. Indeed\, about one-third of Americans learn about politics from socially transmitted information they acquire from conversations with others and social media. How does socially transmitted information differ from information communicated by mass media? And what are the consequences for political behavior? Drawing on evidence from experiments\, surveys\, and social media\, Carlson finds that\, as information flows from the media to person to person\, it becomes sparse\, more biased\, less accurate\, and more mobilizing. This results in distorted democracy. Although socially transmitted information does not necessarily render democracy dysfunctional\, it does contribute to a public that is at once underinformed\, polarized\, and engaged.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/bymr9\n\nDance\, song and the performing arts are often overlooked in studies of war and diaspora. Yet synchronized rhythmic movement promotes group coherence within all cultures\, religions and nations\, and holds potential for expressing both political resistance and national coherence. Drawing from long-term ethnographic fieldwork and dance training in Northern Thailand amongst forcibly displaced Tai (Shan) migrants from Myanmar\, this talk attends to how dance\, song and theatre practice reinvigorate stateless people’s desire for self-determination in ways that challenge the current nation-state paradigm. For Tai exiles\, ethnic nationalism is produced through the work of dance and through shared rhythmic and aesthetic structures of sentiment towards the Tai nation – which produce powerful political affects and effects. Aesthetic Nationalism argues that displaced peoples do not maintain their sense of nation primarily through capital and reading publics\, but rather through the complex transmission of what may be called “aesthetic nationalisms\,” which involve performances and cultural practices that produce enduring bonds to an imagined homeland.\n \n The in-progress book project\, Aesthetic Nationalism argues that the nation\, for countless peoples in exile\, is often carried through the body and continuously forged via the rhythmic work of performance and theater\, in addition to discourse\, language and signification. This is a story of how fractured nations seek to maintain themselves by enmeshing acts of defiance and persistence in art and in performance.\n\n Tani Sebro is a political and dance ethnographer who has conducted over two years field research along the Thai-Myanmar border. Currently an Associate Professor of Global Politics at Cal Poly Humboldt\, she is the recipient of a Fulbright-ASEAN Fellowship and is a UC Berkeley SEALIVES grantee.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

A native of Croswell\, Michigan\, Mark graduated from LSA in 1980 with majors in Economics and History. Upon graduation\, he relocated to St. Louis\, Missouri where he completed his Master of Business Administration from Fontbonne University with a dual concentration in Finance and Information Systems. Acknowledging the lack of job satisfaction after nearly 30 years working in the private sector\, Mark made the bold decision to pivot\, accepting the opportunity to help stand up United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) as its first Division Chief for Cyber Risk Management\, responsible for the analysis of current and future DoD and Federal risk management and C4 (command\, control\, communications\, and computer/cyber) direction for USCYBERCOM and DoD leadership teams. \n\nMark’s federal career has been a robust journey of building infrastructure for novel governmental management of emerging national threats and then leading in those nascent spaces. Mark joined the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) to manage standup activities for the Cyber-Counterintelligence division in 2013. He was a founding member responsible for projects and initiatives related to the establishment of the Defense Insider Threat Management and Analysis Center (DITMAC) in 2014. He did the same for the Defense Vetting Directorate and Program Executive Office (PEO) in 2018. As the first Technical Director of the PEO\, Mark oversaw the incorporation and advancement in integration of innovative technologies\, including practical applications of artificial intelligence. Now as Advisor of Technical Strategy for the PEO\, Mr. Nehmer is responsible for the development and evolution of technical capabilities within the DCSA.\n\nMark’s work is not limited to the typical notions of national defense that the media and entertainment industries tend to draw attention to. In the advancement of stress and risk assessment technology\, the development of artificial intelligence and its implementation in DCSA is further being evaluated for identifying those within the military and civilian populations who may be at risk of harming themselves. Mr. Nehmer is proud that his contributions in utilization of these evolving technologies will not only bolster national security\, but will impact and save millions of lives\, such as through pre-crisis ​intervention and suicide ​​prevention.\n\nMake an appointment or drop by the Opportunity Hub to meet with Mark on Friday\, February 16 from 12pm to 3pm. You can inquire further about his story\, get advice for entering federal service\, find out where or how to start looking for internships that will best prepare you for entering federal service at the highest grade and step possible! Mark is truly passionate about how life-changing his jump to federal service has been\, and he wants to help guide Wolverines as they consider and navigate the possibilities. Don’t forget to invite a friend and join us for this Alum in Residence opportunity!

Moreover\, the ability to operate at the interface of mathematical modeling\, technology development\, and biology created a unique opportunity to ask challenging questions in cross-functional teams.\n\nSpecifically\, recent advances in single cell biology and human genetics have enabled profiling transcriptomics of healthy and diseased individuals leading to the discoveries of gene programs and genetic variants associated with disease. However\, we lack robust pipelines to understand the function of implicated genes and to place those genes in directional cellular and tissue circuits. We are uniquely suited to bring together emerging multimodal single cell technologies and advances in CRISPR screening to map genetic circuits in unprecedented resolution thus opening new questions and unlocking new therapeutic potential.

Hillforts represent the archetype site of Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age societies in Europe and the Balkans. These strategically located\, prominent\, and fortified sites are traditionally argued to be the result of feuding tribes and places of shelter and refuge in times of conflict. This is an interpretation that has remained largely unchanged until recently\, following critical shifts in archaeological theory\, method\, and interpretation inspired by post-colonial and de-colonial thought. In this vein\, I argue that a re-examining and redefining of the conventional understanding of hillforts is greatly overdue\, especially in the Balkan context. Drawing on surface collections and magnetometry surveys conducted in July 2021\, along with excavations conducted in 2022 and 2023 at the sites of Lubozhdë and Syriganë\, this talk presents the preliminary attempt to synthesize the results of my dissertation research in the Dukagjin Plains and bring these findings in conversation with border questions of settlement\, mobility and landscape interactions in the region. Moreover\, this presentation focuses on the very different artifact profiles produced by these two hillforts and begins to explore the varying roles they filled within their landscape over time.

Inverse backscattering is an interdisciplinary field driven by applications in geophysical exploration\, radar imaging\, non-destructive evaluation of materials\, etc. There are two types of methods:\n\n(1) Qualitative (imaging) methods\, which address the simpler problem of locating reflective\nstructures in a known host medium.\n\n(2) Quantitative methods\, also known as velocity estimation. Typically\, velocity estimation is\nformulated as a PDE constrained optimization\, where the data are fit in the least squares sense by\n\nthe wave computed at the search wave speed. The increase in computing power has lead to growing interest in this approach\, but there is a fundamental impediment\, which manifests especially for high frequency data: The objective function is not convex and has numerous local minima even in the absence of noise. The main goal of the talk is to introduce a novel approach to\nvelocity estimation\, based on a reduced order model (ROM) of the wave operator. The ROM is called\ndata driven because it is obtained from the measurements made at the sensors. The mapping between these measurements and the ROM is nonlinear\, and yet the ROM can be computed efficiently using methods from numerical linear algebra. More importantly\, the ROM can be used to define a better objective function for velocity estimation\, so that gradient based optimization can succeed even for a poor initial guess.\n\n(Joint work with Josselin Garnier\, Alexander Mamonov and John Zimmerling)\n\nContact: AIM Seminar Organizers UID:114764-21833579@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114764 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240125T102221 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T163000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Buddhist Perspectives on Grief and Language: DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate dialogue between Chenxing Han and Buddhist studies scholar Dr. Lang Chen about religious perspectives on grief\, culturally attuned care for the dying\, and the literary entanglements of translation in Asian and Asian American contexts. The conversation will be grounded in Chenxing’s recent book\, *one long listening: a memoir of grief\, friendship\, and spiritual care* (North Atlantic Books\, 2023)\, and will also touch on May We Gather\, a national Buddhist memorial of resilience\, recovery\, and repair.\n\nChenxing Han is the author of *Be the Refuge: Raising the Voices of Asian American Buddhists*\; *one long listening: a memoir of grief\, friendship\, and spiritual care*\; and numerous articles and book chapters for both academic and mainstream audiences. She is a frequent speaker and workshop leader at schools\, universities\, and Buddhist communities across the nation\, and currently serves as the Khyentse Visitor in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan.\n\nLang Chen received her Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies from Yale University in 2015 and her Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School in 2006. Her research focused on Chinese literati’s creative use of Buddhism for literary innovation as well as spiritual liberation from the early modern period (16–17th century) onwards. She also studied the idea of “happiness” from Chinese and Buddhist perspectives. Lang is currently enrolled in the Master of Social Work program at the University of Michigan and working as an intern therapist at the Counseling and Psychological Services of the university. She was a caregiver of her late husband\, who fought cancer heroically.

In particular\, higher-frequency GWs can give rise to new classes of electromagnetic signals that can be searched for with small-scale detectors. A gauge-invariant description shows that existing experiments designed for the detection of axion dark matter only need to reanalyze existing data to search for such signals. I will also discuss how electromagnetic cavities can operate as exquisite mechanical to electromagnetic converters\, enabling a broader search across orders of magnitude of unexplored parameter space.

See below for info on each lecture\n\nSpeaker 1: Jeronimo Morales Toledo\nTitle: \"Bisexual Climbers of Araceae In Deep Time: A Reexamination of Arthmiocarpus hesperus from the Late Cretaceous of South Dakota\"\nAbstract: \nThe study and re-evaluation of Cretaceous fossil plants offers insights to the early evolution of angiosperms prior to the establishment of modern ecosystems. Araceae display significant eco-morphological diversity (e.g.\, geophytes\, climbers\, epiphytes\, helophytes\, and free-floating aquatics)\, with their fossil record dating back to the Early Cretaceous (110 to 120 Ma). However\, confidently assigned aroid fossils before the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction are limited to early divergent lineages (Orontioideae and Lemnoideae)\, hindering our understanding of the historical evolution of aroid subfamilies over deep time. This study focuses on Arthmiocarpus hesperus (Wieland) Delevoryas\, a permineralized fossil from the Late Cretaceous Fox Hills Sandstone of South Dakota. Previously classified as a drupe from the fig family (Moraceae)\, it exhibits features consistent with Araceae. Through thin-sectioning and X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT)\, we conducted a detailed examination resulting in 3D reconstructions of the seed and characterizing structures in multiple planes of section. Furthermore\, we created a de novo character database by analyzing 300 species of fruits with μCT for fruit\, seed and embryo morphology. This process resolved conflicting interpretations of fruit-seed morphology and anatomy\, allowing us to identify additional characters useful for refining taxonomic affinities.The helically arranged sessile berries on a central spadix confirm affinities to Araceae\, and features of the fruits and seeds such as berries with fibrous pericarp and stylar region\, thick stylar region\, a smooth seed coat\, and a monocotyledonous L-shaped embryo suggest it is most closely related to members within the subfamily Monsteroideae. However\, Arthmiocarpus presents a unique set of characters that differentiates it from extant and extinct members of Araceae. This investigation exemplifies how the subfamilies of extant angiosperms were integral components of Cretaceous ecosystems prior to the K-Pg mass extinction\, contributing to the establishment of modern ecosystems.\n\nSpeaker 2: Paul Den Uyl\nTitle: \"Genetic Characterization of Saxitoxin Producing Cyanobacteria Associated with Western Lake Erie Harmful Algal Blooms\"\nAbstract:\nSaxitoxins (STXs) are neurotoxins produced in both freshwater and marine systems and are among the most potent known natural toxins. While genes encoding STX biosynthesis have been observed in Lake Erie\, the organism(s) responsible for producing STXs in the region have not been confirmed. We used metagenomic tools to identify a full suite of STX biosynthesis genes in a high-quality metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) from the Anabaena-Dolichospermum-Aphanizomenon (ADA) clade of cyanobacteria. The order and sequence of sxt genes suggest the Lake Erie MAG is likely capable of producing saxitoxin (STX) and dicarbamoyl (dcSTX) congeners. The absence of a sxtX gene suggests an inability to produce neoSTX\, one of the most potent variants of STX. \n\n\nSpeaker 3: Andrés Felipe Gonzalez Duran\nTitle: \"Understanding mineral deposits in the Americas. \nBrief summary: Overview of recent advancements on ore deposits in the Western margin of the Americas\, including copper and gold in Canada and Chile\, as well as emeralds in the Colombian Andes\" UID:108201-21819105@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/108201 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Natural Sciences LOCATION:1100 North University Building - 1528 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240214T121536 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T153000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Women's Track & Field vs Silverston Invitational DESCRIPTION:Women's Track & Field vs Silverston Invitational UID:117183-21838793@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/117183 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240212T185227 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ACLU Criminal Justice Reform Panel DESCRIPTION:Speakers will include Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit and Emma Stammen from The Bail Project.

Where Empires Meet: Borderland Cosmopolitanisms in the Late Antique and Medieval Middle East DESCRIPTION:In the third book of The Buildings\, the sixth-century Roman historian Procopius of Caesarea offers us a glimpse into what life was like in the borderlands between Rome and Persia. Just west of Lake Van in Greater Armenia\, he describes how the borderlands of the two empires “lay together promiscuously (ἀναμὶξ)” (Procopius Buildings 3.3.9). Procopius seems to have intended this sexual double entendre to be taken quite literally\, for he adds that those who lived here in the district of Kars\, whether Roman or Persian subjects\, lived together peacefully: they would come together to go to market\, share their farms with each other\, and even marry one another (Procopius Buildings 3.3.10).\n \nAlthough Procopius is critical of such “promiscuity” between Romans and Persians\, his description suggests that the borderlands of early medieval Armenia were both a cosmopolitan and a contested space\, where individuals cultivated vernacular cosmopolitanisms in their day-to-day lives at the interstices of empires. By bringing together specialists from across the academy who study the diverse languages\, literatures\, and cultures of the spaces where empires meet\, this workshop seeks to excavate commingled lives in the borderlands of Armenia and Syria in the late antique and medieval Middle East. In particular\, it seeks to shed new light on the practices of non-elites across these borderland zones. It is often repeated\, for instance\, that premodern Armenia and Syria were places in-between–but what did that in-betweenness look like on the ground? How did Armenians\, Syrians\, and others navigate “borders\,” let alone their shifting relationships to Rome and Persia\, in light of the border? Finally\, where do borders get crossed\, and how might such crossings inform theoretical and methodological approaches to studying these complex regions today?\n\nSchedule of Events\n\nFebruary 16 | Weiser Hall 555 (in-person) and on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95833364188 (virtual)\n\n4:00 pm - 6:00 pm | Keynote Address — Kate Franklin (Birkbeck\, University of London)\, Between Ecumene and Ecology: Armenians on the Silk Road and More-than-Human Cosmopolitanism\n\nFebruary 17 | Weiser Hall 555 (in person only)\n\n9:15 am - 9:30 am | Introductory Remarks\n\n9:30 am - 11:00 am | Panel I: Cosmopolitanisms Along and Across the Borders of Rome in Late Antiquity\n\nRespondent: Anna Bonnell Freidin (University of Michigan)\n\nJames Wolfe (University of Michigan) \"Segmentation\, Enclaves\, and Forgotten Borders: Navigating the Borderless Borderlands of The Late Roman Near East\"\n\nWalter Beers (Hamilton College) \"Seeing like a Monastery: Cop'k'/Sophene as Syro-Armenian Borderland in John of Ephesus' Lives of the Eastern Saints\"\n\n11:00 am - 11:15 am | Break\n\n11:15 am - 12:45 pm | Panel II: Multilingual Communities at the Crossroads of the Medieval Middle East\n\nRespondent: Kathryn Babayan (University of Michigan)\n\nPolina Ivanova (Justus Liebig University Giessen) \"An Invisible Frontier?

Jax’s sound is a unique blend of classic rock\, blues\, and Americana\, combined with songwriting\, riffs\, ripping solos\, and powerful vocals. Her debut record\, “Underdog Anthems” was produced and engineered by music legend Michael Wagener (over 100 million records sold). She was the last artist to work with him before his retirement in 2022. Her new record of 2023\, “Only The Wild Ones”\, was championed by Sound Emporium CEO Juanita Copeland\, and recorded with some of Nashville’s finest studio musicians. She opened for Melissa Etheridge at the famous Ryman Auditorium as a solo act\, receiving a standing ovation—and praise from Etheridge herself\, telling the crowd\; “I want to be known as the one who discovered Jax Hollow!” Just back from a European tour\, Jax is making her Ark debut.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4502/4503 for more detail.
