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.

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:116414-21836794@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.

He holds a joint appointment in Cognitive Science and Computational Social Science. His research focuses on how humans and machines understand language\, and makes use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to test hypotheses about human cognition.\n\nUPDATE: Sean Trott will be joining us virtually for this event\, the presentation will still take place in East Hall 4448.\n\nSchedule\n11:00-11:30 am Foundations Presentation\n11:30-11:45 am Q & A\n—15 minute pizza break—\n12:00-12:50 pm Frontiers Presentation\n12:50-1:20 pm Q & A\n\nPresentation Abstract\nFoundations: Many debates in Cognitive Science—such as whether certain cognitive capacities are innate\, or acquired through specific experiential input—are entrenched and difficult to resolve. A new paradigm attempts to address these debates using Large Language Models (LLMs) to test competing theories of human cognition. In particular\, because (most) LLMs are trained on linguistic input alone\, they serve as useful baselines: measures of what kinds of behaviors and capacities could in principle emerge purely from exposure to statistical patterns in language. In this talk\, I discuss the motivations for such an approach\, and briefly survey several examples from the literature. Finally\, I discuss the relevant trade-offs and considerations that might inform a researcher's decision about whether to use LLMs in their own research\, including: the amount (and quality) of data an LLM has been trained on\, issues of construct validity\, and multimodal models.\n\nFrontiers: Humans often reason about the mental states of others\, even when those mental states diverge from their own. The ability to reason about false beliefs—part of the broader constellation abilities that make up \"Theory of Mind\"—is viewed by many as playing a crucial role in social cognition. Yet there is considerable debate about whether this ability comes from. Some theories emphasize the role of innate biological endowments\, while others emphasize the role of experience. In this talk\, I consider a hypothesis about a specific kind of experience: language. To test this \"language exposure hypothesis\"\, I use GPT-3\, a Large Language Model (LLM) trained on linguistic input alone\, and ask whether and to what extent such a system displays evidence consistent with Theory of Mind. The LLM displays above-chance performance on a number of tasks\, but also falls short of human performance in multiple cases. I conclude by discussing the implications of these results for the language exposure hypothesis specifically\, and for research on Theory of Mind more generally.

Despite many desirable properties\, rAAVs have several limitations that prevent their application to many diseases\, and their difficulty to manufacture at large scales earned rAAVs the title \"The Most Expensive Drug in the World.\" Although rAAV vectors have been studied for nearly 40 years\, the adeno-associated virus (AAV) from which they originate causes no disease\; therefore AAV interactions with host cells are historically understudied and remain poorly defined. Understanding the basic biology at the interface of rAAV and its host cell is the first step to illuminate how these mechanisms can be tuned to overcome rAAV's clinical limitations. In this talk\, I will present my graduate work studying AAV capsid assembly\, how I applied these findings to identify key structure-function relationships within the icosahedral capsid\, and how I used these principles to engineer capsids that assemble without a previously required viral co-factor. Next\, I will share my postdoctoral work that identified host factors involved in processing rAAV-delivered DNA\, and how their manipulation led to an over 30-fold increase in expression of an oversized transgene. Finally\, I will summarize the plans for my future lab\, which will continue studying vector-host interactions to overcome major limitations in the rAAV gene therapy field.

Geer\nAssociate Professor and Program Coordinator of American Sign Language and Deaf Studies at California State University\, Sacramento\n\nThis talk shares the justification for and methods and results from two studies of the family-centered\, routine-based curriculum called ASL at Home. Both studies used qualitative methodology\; the first examined providers’ perceptions of and experiences with using the curriculum while the second focused on the experiences of families who used the curriculum on their own. Using interview data from four teachers of the deaf\, one speech-language pathologist\, and one early childhood special education administrator\, the former found many positive experiences using the curriculum including having a structure to follow in one’s teaching\, the availability of the curriculum in Spanish\, and the inclusion of Deaf Community Cultural Wealth (DCCW). The inclusion of DCCW was especially important for hearing providers who reported the desire to provide authentic deaf input in their visits with families. The second study explored interview data from three parents of deaf children who independently used the family-centered curriculum. This study queried what factors families of young deaf children consider when selecting an ASL curriculum and (whether) to approach that curriculum on their own and how the ASL at Home curriculum supports families of young deaf children. ASL at Home supported these participants in their language-learning journey through 1) making the curriculum easily navigable between the book\, the website housing video and other resources\, and the workbook\; 2) through providing functional language\; 3) giving learners activities to apply what they’re learning\; and 4) giving learners permission to make mistakes.

Billions of dollars a year are spent on \"pipeline'' programs to increase diversity in STEM\, but there is little rigorous evidence of their efficacy. We fielded a randomized controlled trial to study a suite of such programs that are targeted to underrepresented high school students hosted at an elite\, technical institution. Students offered seats in the STEM summer programs are more likely to enroll in\, persist through\, and graduate from college. The programs also increase the likelihood that students graduate with a degree in a STEM field\, with the most intensive program increasing four-year graduation with a STEM degree by 33 percent. The shift to STEM degrees increases potential earnings by 2 to 6 percent. Program-induced gains in college quality account for the gains in graduation\, but gains in STEM degree attainment are larger than predicted based on institutional differences\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95418610585?pwd=Z0cvdkF1T0R2cG1lRDEvVmlnbVdlZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nPasscode: 818420\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,95418610585# US (Washington DC)\n+13092053325\,\,95418610585# US\n\nDial by your location\n +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n +1 309 205 3325 US\n +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n +1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n +1 646 931 3860 US\n +1 564 217 2000 US\n +1 669 444 9171 US\n +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n +1 719 359 4580 US\n +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n +1 386 347 5053 US\n +1 647 374 4685 Canada\n +1 647 558 0588 Canada\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\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nFind your local number: https://umich.zoom.us/u/aCRAyuQaT\n\nJoin by SIP\n95418610585@zoomcrc.com\n\nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n149.137.40.110 (Singapore)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n149.137.68.253 (Mexico)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nPasscode: 818420 UID:118657-21841373@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/118657 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,Social Sciences,Sociology LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240219T112037 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240219T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240219T140000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Research-Based Strategies for Managing Impostor Phenomenon DESCRIPTION:Have you ever succeeded at an academic task even though you were convinced that you wouldn't do well?

The study population has been exposed to Islam and Christianity since the 1940s\, and multiple religions (the traditional Dogon religion\, Islam\, and Christianity) coexist within the same villages and patrilineages. Among these three religions\, the Dogon religion and Islam entailed greater participation expenses than did Christianity. Given that a man’s father practiced the traditional Dogon religion\, what factors caused him to stay with his father’s religion or to adopt a new religion? Using individual-level data on 570 men from nine villages\, we found that men from poorer families were more likely to adopt Christianity\, while men from wealthier families chose Islam or stayed with the Dogon religion. We propose that costly expenses of a religious community provide a Dogon man with a group of reciprocators that is well-defined with explicit mechanisms to monitor reputation and avenues through which to promote and enhance his status. The extent that each religion incorporates expenses to achieve these benefits\, however\, have different tradeoffs to poorer and wealthier individuals.\nIf you would like to meet with the speaker\, please click here to contact Erin Loomas.\n\nThe University of Michigan\nResearch Center for Group Dynamics\n\nInstitute for Social Research\n\n© 2023 The Regents of the University of Michigan UID:115984-21835976@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/115984 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,African Studies,Anthropology,Social Sciences,Sociology LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240422T094238 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240219T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240219T170000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Study Hall @ The DSI\, WN'24 DESCRIPTION:We're back for Winter '24!

Chief among these are direct-detection experiments which use liquified noble gasses as their detection medium. \n\nIn this talk I will first describe direct searches for weak scale dark matter particles\, highlighting the most sensitive experiment of this type to date: the LUX ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment\, which uses liquid xenon as its detection medium. I will then discuss future efforts aimed at detecting dark matter lighter than the proton. These include an upgrade to dissolve hydrogen in LZ’s target volume (HydroX) and the development of a low threshold detector based on quasiparticle excitations of a superfluid helium-4 target (HeRALD). Taken together\, these experiments directly probe an entire class of extremely well-motivated models known as “thermal relics”: dark matter particles that were once in thermal equilibrium with ordinary matter in the early Universe.

His book on the ways that white nationalists use the Greco-Roman past to legitimize their hateful politics is forthcoming from Yale University Press.

Spohn\, who was able to compute the density of states for the Toda lattice by connecting it to the corresponding one of the Gaussian β ensemble\, a well known random matrix model. The computation of this quantity enabled him to apply the theory of generalized hydrodynamics\, so to compute the correlation functions for the Toda lattice.\nIn this talk\, I consider another integrable model\, namely the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice\; I introduce the Generalized Gibbs ensemble for this lattice\, and I relate it with the so-called Circular β ensemble\, a classical random matrix model for unitary matrices. This allows us to compute explicitly the density of states for the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice in terms of the one of this random matrix ensemble.\nThis talk is mainly based on these two papers:\n\nG. M. \, and T. Grava: Generalized Gibbs ensemble of the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice\, circular β- ensemble and double confluent Heun equation. Communication in Mathematical Physics. DOI: 10.1007/s00220-023-04642-8\n\nG. M.\, and R. Memin: Large Deviations for Ablowitz-Ladik lattice\, and the Schur flow. Electronic Journal of Probability.

Hadwiger's theorem is a variant of Helly-type theorems involving common transversals to families of convex sets instead of common intersections. In this talk\, we discuss these theorems\, as well as a quantitative and colorful version of Hadwiger's theorem on the plane.

Intermediation: Algorithms\, Homelessness\, and the Politics of Being In-Between. DESCRIPTION:Homelessness is a significant and growing crisis in the United States. In an effort to more efficiently and fairly distribute limited housing resources\, jurisdictions across the US have adopted algorithmic prioritization systems to help select which unhoused people should receive resources. In this talk\, we discuss how frontline bureaucrats mediate between the rigidity of the homeless services infrastructure and the messy social worlds of people experiencing homelessness. Drawing on theories of translation and articulation work\, the paper proposes “intermediation” as a means of understanding the position and labor of being in-between an infrastructure and the social worlds it intersects.

His interests include Spanish and Latin American Cinema\, Visual Culture\, Gender Studies\, Queer Theory\, Psychoanalysis\, Trauma and Memory. Among his books are Aesthetics\, Ethics\, and Trauma in the Cinema of Pedro Almodovar (2017) and Queering Buñuel: Sexual Dissidence and Psychoanalysis in his Mexican and Spanish Cinema (2008).\n\nThe aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand\, this talk will reflect on Bracha L. Ettinger´s matrixial psychoanalysis´ explicit and implicit contribution to feminist and queer theory\, and transgender studies by focusing on the representation and creation of affective relationships and border spaces of co-emergence and co-affection\, thus creating and allegorizing trans-subjective encounters between artistic practices and spectators. This talk will present some of the aesthetic\, ethical\, and political implications underpinning Ettingerian psychoanalysis by emphasizing the dialogue and the productive tensions between Ettinger’s theoretical propositions and one of her most important interlocutors\, namely Lacan. On the other hand\, this paper focuses on finitude\, mourning\, and trans-subjectivity to offer a historical and theoretical account of how Spanish and Latin American visual artists and filmmakers have reflected\, responded to\, or remembered the AIDS epidemic since the 1980s. Drawing on Ettinger’s matrixial psychoanalysis\, my talk conceives queer art and cinema of the 1980s and 1990s as a trans-subjective encounter between the spectator and the traces of individual and collective trauma that moves us beyond our individual and finite limits of ego\, identity\, and body. Emphasizing the transformative aesthetic\, ethical\, and political potential of this kind of trans-subjective mourning\, my paper uses Ettinger’s term “wit(h)ness”—that is\, bearing witness to and with the other—to describe how Spanish and Latin American queer artists and filmmakers of the 1980s and ‘90s used their art and cinema to engage audiences in a trans-subjective processing of the traumas associated with the loss\, illness\, and mortality exposed by the AIDS virus\, while simultaneously gesturing towards an aesthetic\, ethical\, and political transformation in the way that individuals relate to each other.

While the first two notions are local conditions\, the third one which turned out to be the most important one\, is a non local and poorly understood notion. In this talk we comment on Morrey's conjecture and Iwaniec's conjecture on the Beurling-Ahlfors Transform.

The Fight of Our Lives DESCRIPTION:Iuliia Mendel is a Ukrainian journalist\, whose work has appeared in The *New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Politico Europe*\, and many other prominent media outlets. In 2019\, she was selected from a pool of around 4\,000 applicants for the position of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Press-Secretary\, a post she held for over two years until spring 2021.\n\n Mendel had a front row seat to many of the key events preceding the 2022 Russian invasion. She attended meetings between Zelenskyy and Putin and other European leaders\, visited the front lines in Donbas\, as well as fielded press inquiries after the infamous phone calls between Donald Trump and Zelenskyy that led to Trump’s first impeachment.\n\n Mendel saw firsthand efforts to transform her country from a poor\, backward Soviet state into a vibrant\, prosperous European democracy. In her work\, Mendel sheds light on the massive economic problems facing Ukraine and the entrenched corrupt oligarchs in league with Russia. She witnessed the Kremlin’s repeated attacks to discredit Zelenskyy through disinformation and an army of bots and trolls.\n\nIn 2022\, Mendel released a book titled *The Fight of Our Lives*. Written with the sound of Russian bombs and exploding shells in the background\, Mendel details life lived under Russian siege in 2022. She says goodbye to her fiancé who joins the front lines\, like so many other Ukrainian men. Throughout this story of Zelenskyy\, Ukraine\, and its extraordinary people\, Mendel reminds us of the paramount importance of truth and human values\, especially in these darkest of times.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

On “Two Universes\,” their first studio album in over five years\, Feufollet proves their Cajun roots don’t define them as much as propel them forward\; whispers of the swamp and its time-honored waltzes trigger a modern and broad musical imagination\, one that finds equal expression in blues\, old-time\, country ballads\, rock’n’roll\, whatever\, all for the sake of the song. Feufollet now includes keyboardist Andrew Toups\, whose influence on shaping the record\, combined with Feufollet’s usual fare—twin fiddles\, French accordion\, guitar twang\, and barn-dance rhythms— give the record more than a passing resemblance to the Band’s “Music from Big Pink.”\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4338/4339 for more detail.
