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.

Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers DESCRIPTION:Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power\, a cadre of European Jews—German\, Polish\, Hungarian\, Austrian\, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport\, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer\, journalist\, painter\, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.\n \n They did\, however\, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures\, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers\, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work\, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.\n \n Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe\, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille\, France on May 7\, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary\, Belgium\, France\, and Germany: Ilse Bing\, Josef Breitenbach\, Boris Lipnitsky\, Charles Leirens\, Yolla Niclas\, Fred Stein\, Monie Tannen\, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills\, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.\n \n This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world\, seeing it through European eyes.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides\, military checkpoints\, walls\, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine. \n\nSouq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza\, sharing the stories of\, and images captured by\, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them\, Fouad Abu Khammash\, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.\n\n< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi\, Zainab Hakim\, Mariam Odeh\, and Vivian M. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week\, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history\, culture\, and politics. Presented in association with Insaniyyat: Society of Palestinian Anthropologists.

Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq\, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.\n\nIn the United States\, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized\, under despotic rule\, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students\, and students who became mentors to new students\, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism\, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.\n\nView the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library\, Tappan Hall\, 855 S.

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:116532-21837326@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:20240401T092243 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240304T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240304T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:RC Visual Arts Faculty Show DESCRIPTION:March 4 - April 4\, 2024\n\n--\n\nThe public is invited to a closing reception for the artists on April 4th at 5:00 pm.\n--\nAbout the Artists\nMegan Gizzi (Lecturer I\, Ceramics) \n\nToby Millman (Lecturer\, Drawing and Printmaking) is a multidisciplinary artist living in Hamtramck\, working with printmaking\, photography\, collage\, narrative and book arts.

Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

Imperfect Correlation of Spousal Expectations and Communication Frictions DESCRIPTION:The PSC Brown Bag Series runs live and on Zoom this year\, Mondays from noon to 1.\n\nSpeaker: Basit Zafar\, University of Michigan\n\nSeminar Date: 3/04/24\n\nThe Silent Treatment? Imperfect Correlation of Spousal Expectations and Communication Frictions\n\nCurrent models of household decision-making assume that partners share information perfectly and hold similar expectations. However\, we lack empirical evidence about spouses’ expectations for the same outcomes and the level of information sharing within couples. To address this gap\, we create an online panel of 2\,200 middle-aged spouses. In this study\, the focus is on expectations about Social Security (SS) benefits\, a primary income source for those over 65. Our descriptive analysis reveals that only a minority of couples have similar expectations about a given spouse’s benefit: just a third of the couples have a difference in monthly benefit expectations smaller than $100\, with an overall correlation of 0.68. The correlation is lower in couples with shorter marital duration\, with lower marital satisfaction\, and where partners disagree about the quality of the relationship. This suggests that communication frictions likely play a role in the imperfect correlation in expectations. We then provide causal evidence on sharing of information within couples by leveraging randomized information provision of future benefits (as per the SS calculator) and a sequential survey design within the couple (with the spousal surveys separated by 3 days\, on average). The information treatment reduces the absolute gap between expectations and benefits calculated by SS calculator for the first-interviewed spouse by about 22 pp. Zafar et al then investigate whether this information spills over to the second spouse. Consistent with some information sharing\, having a treated spouse leads to a secondary spouse having an absolute gap that is 10-12pp lower\; that is\, the spillovers are almost half as large as the treatment impact on the first-interviewed spouse. These spillovers are larger when both spouses agree that the first spouse is more financially knowledgeable. Interestingly\, there is less information sharing among couples who disagree on their marital satisfaction. Finally\, they investigate whether information provision helps couples in joint decision making\, and find some suggestive evidence that providing information to both spouses improves alignment of expected retirement plans for a given spouse.\n\nBasit Zafar is an applied microeconomist. His research is focused on labor economics\, economics of education\, and household finance. Specifically\, his work seeks to understand how individuals make decisions under uncertainty. Professor Zafar’s research employs a disparate set of empirical methods and techniques\, including the use of subjective expectations data and experimental data.\n\nJoin us in person at ISR (Thompson Street) Room 1430.\n\nOr online: Join 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:119162-21842285@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/119162 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,Microeconomics,Population Studies Center,Social Sciences,Sociology LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231214T123048 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240304T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240304T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Art of Resistance in Early America DESCRIPTION:The exhibition addresses the theme of the LSA Fall 2023 semester at the University of Michigan: \"Arts & Resistance.\" This exhibit asks us to think about resistance in different settings\, and in different forms.

A Zoom option is also provided.\n\nSeminar Description:\n\nOver the past few decades\, atomic-\, molecular-\, and optical (AMO) physics has seen remarkable advances in manipulating individual quantum systems\, such as atoms and photons. State-of-the-art techniques can precisely trap\, arrange\, and manipulate arrays of hundreds of individual atoms with light. This significantly advances our ability to investigate complex many-body quantum effects in well-controlled environments.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present our recent work that utilizes atom arrays to unveil and study intriguing quantum phenomena. The first part will focus on the dissipative many-body dynamics that arise when atoms within these arrays interact via photon-mediated long-range dipole-dipole interactions. This gives rise to phenomena like super- and subradiance\, where photon emission from the array is either significantly enhanced or diminished due to collective effects. I will first illustrate the dynamics in cases where interactions within the array are mediated by just a single photon\, shedding light on key mechanisms for quantum transport in geometries inspired by biological compounds. Then\, I will present our results in the more complex multi-excitation regime\, elucidating some core characteristics of superradiance for large system sizes.\n\nI will then shift focus to how atom arrays can be used as programmable quantum simulators\, when atoms are excited to strongly interacting Rydberg states. I will introduce a toolbox for simulating quantum chemistry problems\, using hardware-optimized control sequences to accurately realize the time evolution of complex spin Hamiltonians. Additionally\, I will discuss a method for extracting chemically relevant data from snapshot measurements taken at different times.

I present two studies which incorporate our long-standing cultural capacity to develop hypotheses of human behavior in the context of cooperation and conflict. The first study will illustrate how competition between culturally differentiated populations\, i.e. cultural group selection\, structures the social scale of cooperation in transient interactions with strangers. The second study shows how certain features of combat-related psychological stress can be explained as a psychological adaptation to culturally-structured normative landscapes. Data for these studies were collected in pastoral communities living in northwest Kenya.

Drawing on examples from throughout the region\, this talk shows how the influence of these bitexts extended well beyond the Buddhist sphere\, shaping the study of grammar\, literature\, and the sciences across early modern Southeast Asia. Bitexts not only facilitated the study of South Asian thought\, but built a platform for Southeast Asians to compose in a fresh\, cosmopolitan idiom that afforded the circulation of ideas across a diverse set of vernacular tongues. Taking a glocal perspective—at the intersection of local and global forces—on these modes of reading\, writing\, and performance allows us to appreciate how Southeast Asian intellectuals made a distinct and enduring contribution to the history of translation.

A precise understanding of neutrino-nucleon cross sections is needed in order to properly interpret these measurements in current and future experiments. To fill this need\, the MicroBooNE experiment has developed an expansive cross section measurement program using its liquid argon time projection chamber detector located at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory. The detector\, coupled with topographical event reconstruction techniques\, provides MeV-level detection threshold calorimetry and mm-resolution three-dimensional images of neutrino interactions\, enabling detailed studies of neutrino-nucleon reaction products.\n\nThe analysis featured in this talk is a set of differential cross section measurements made simultaneously for final states with and without protons for the inclusive muon neutrino charged current interaction channel. The cross section results are compared to predictions from a number of commonly used neutrino event generators. These comparisons reveal severe mismodeling of final states without protons\, possibly from insufficient treatment of final state interactions involving the hadronic reaction products as they exit the nucleus. In their entirety\, these measurements represent the most detailed examination of inclusive muon neutrino-argon cross sections to date.

In the case of an elliptic curve E over Q\, the degrees of parameterizations of E by different Shimura curves are related to each other through Tamagawa numbers. We will discuss the analogous situation for elliptic curves over function fields\, which admit different parameterizations by moduli of Drinfeld-Stuhler-modules.

Seeing European Developmentalism: The Transition from Colonial Rule to Foreign Aid Across European Media DESCRIPTION:By reviewing a series of newsreels and films against a backdrop of German and European foreign policy\, this talk will explore the media representation of the European colonial project after World War II. Halle seeks to chart out how in the post-war era\, and in the transition from direct colonial control to neo-colonial entanglement\, a new developmental model emerged: Lebensraum and Mission civilisatrice gave way to development aid and humanitarian relief.\n \n The decolonization process is violent and partisan but given the “success” of the anticolonial forces\, decolonization must generate a new relation to the former colonies for a “post-colonial era” to be possible. Thus\, Halle will review how depictions of anti-colonial violence and pacification gave way to a depiction of development aid. Such developmentalism\, Halle argues\, continues to shape German and EU relations to the present. He will map out the difficult path from a colonial gaze to an eye-level cooperation that is ostensibly the goal of current EU foreign policy and investment.\n \n \n Randall Halle is the Klaus W. Jonas Professor of German Film and Cultural Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. He directs the European Studies Center/Jean Monnet European Union Center of Excellence at Pitt\, as well as the Critical European Culture Studies PhD Program. His essays have appeared in journals such as *EuropeNow\, The International Journal of Cultural Policy*\, and *New German Critique*. He is the author of\, among others\, *German Film after Germany: Toward a Transnational Aesthetic* (University of Illinois Press\, 2008)\, *The Europeanization of Cinema: Interzones and Imaginative Communities* (University of Illinois Press\, 2014)\, and *Visual Alterity: Seeing Difference in Cinema* (University of Illinois Press\, 2021).

We will show that the quasi-symmetric (symmetric) functions can be made into a (cocommutative) combinatorial Hopf algebra and that it is the terminal object in the category of (cocommutative) combinatorial Hopf algebras. We will give examples of combinatorial Hopf algebras naturally arising from combinatorics and an application of this result to the study of affine Stanley symmetric functions.

This paper investigates whether a low-capacity state can increase its tax revenue by optimally assigning its tax collectors. We study the two-stage random assignment of property tax collectors into teams and to neighborhoods in a large Congolese city. The optimal assignment involves positive assortative matching on both dimensions: high (low) ability collectors should be paired together\, and high (low) ability teams should be paired with high (low) payment propensity households. Positive assortative matching stems from complementarities in collector-to-collector and collector-to-household match types. We provide evidence that these complementarities reflect in part high-ability collectors exerting greater effort when matched with other high-ability collectors. According to our estimates\, implementing the optimal assignment would increase tax compliance by 2.94 percentage points and revenue by 26% relative to the status quo (random) assignment. Alternative policies\, such as replacing low-ability collectors with new ones of average ability or increasing collectors’ performance wages\, are likely incapable of achieving a similar revenue increase.\n\nThis talk is presented by the Public Finance Seminar\, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Elizalde-Winikates Family Fund in Economics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

Rhythm—their ingenious application of it\, and their clear mastery of it—has made Lúnasa one of the most influential and innovative bands performing Irish instrumental music today. What Lúnasa has accomplished in their decade-and-a-half career has deep precedents in jazz and progressive bluegrass\, and has made them unique in Celtic circles. Lúnasa welds the ancient soul of traditional instrumental Irish music to a new rhythmic framework\, one which breaks down the barrier between soloist and accompanist and creates a dynamic polyphony that preserves the dignity of their sources while placing the band firmly in the modern age. From day one\, the double bass of Trevor Hutchinson (formerly of The Waterboys) has been the band's fulcrum. The presence of more young Irish bands featuring the double bass—a relative stranger to the genre—is just one example of how Lúnasa's powerful sound has shaped and continues to shape the development of Irish music today.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4372/4373 for more detail.
