SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Exhibition. Modernist Glass from the Polish Past
DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass)\, the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.\n\nLearn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM\n\nThe exhibit opens on September 15\, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor. Contact copernicus@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CES Exhibition. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Propositions to Progress: A Working Atlas of the Global South
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, maps have served as a panoptic technology\, assisting imperial powers in governance\, discipline\, and control. In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Souq Stories: Gaza Lives
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is an extension of Souq Stories (https://souqstories.insaniyyat.org/)\, which was displayed in 2021 in all seven of the historic markets it depicts in Gaza\, Nazareth\, Acre\, Nablus\, Jerusalem\, Khalil\, and Jaffa. 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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:\"Death and Its Afterlives: De/composing Boundaries\" Conference
DESCRIPTION:Death and Its Afterlives: De/composing Boundaries\n28th Annual CLIFF Conference\nUniversity of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\nMarch 8-9\, 2024\nKeynote Speaker: Dr. Luciana Chamorro\, Department of Anthropology\, University of Michigan\n\nFull schedule and abstract descriptions linked here: https://lsa.umich.edu/complit/news-events/all-news/search-news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-year-s-cliff.html\n\nFrom necropolitics to ecological decline\, from digital dead links to haunted sites\, from the material ruins of late capitalism to the allegorical decay of “late style\,” this year’s CLIFF conference seeks to de/compose the boundaries between the living and the dead. We hope to bring together a diverse set of critical interests and disciplines on a terrain where death and precarious (after)lives lay bare the politics of exclusion\, the erosion of memory\, and the ethical responsibilities that confront us in the face of current crises. Our graduate student-organized conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogues\; we welcome researchers\, independent scholars\, and artists to join us in exploring death\, rebirth\, and the in-between.\n\nFor our 28th annual conference\, the Comparative Literature Intra-student Faculty Forum (CLIFF) invites 15 minute presentations based in literary analysis\, critical theory\, history\, politics\, anthropology\, translation studies\, and interdisciplinary work. These presentations may take the form of academic papers\, creative work\, performance\, and/or visual media. \n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year’s keynote speaker will be Dr. Luciana Chamorro\, professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. Dr. Chamorro is a socio-cultural anthropologist studying revolution and its afterlives in the Central American region and its diasporas. Her work includes research on political revolution and violence\, desire and affect\, generational difference\, states of exception\, and feminist and queer imaginaries of the future. \n\nIf you are planning to attend this event and need accommodations\, please notify the organizers by February 22\, 2024\, so that proper arrangements can be made. The organizers can be contacted at cliff.complit@umich.edu.\n\nOur conference is entirely organized by graduate students in the University of Michigan's Department of Comparative Literature. This year's organizing members are Arianna Afsari\, CC Barrick\, Delsa Lopez\, and Sanjana Ramanathan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exile and the Mentor-student Relationship: A Force for Resistance and Decolonization
DESCRIPTION:This small exhibit features work in reproduction by Iraqi artists Hanaa Malallah and Mohammed Karim\, as well as an original painting by Karim. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:My Gender States
DESCRIPTION:On display at Lane Hall\, Rogério M. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Orson Welles as Family Man: Son\, Husband\, Father
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit provides a unique glimpse into the actor/director Orson Welles’ private life. 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).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Peter Dunn Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Peter Dunn has historically been an object maker as a designer and sculptor. 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

SUMMARY:Presentation:Psychology Methods Hour: \"Illustrating a Critical Quantitative approach to measurement with MIMIC models\"
DESCRIPTION:The emerging Critical Quantitative (Crit Quant) perspective is anchored by five guiding principles (i.e.\, foundation\, goals\, parity\, subjectivity\, and self-reflexivity) to mitigate racism and advance social justice. Within this broader methodological perspective\, sound measurement is foundational to the quantitative enterprise. Despite the problematic history of measurement\, it can be repurposed for critical and equitable ends. MIMIC (Multiple Indicator and Multiple Causes) models are a measurement strategy to simply and efficiently test whether a measure means the same thing and can be measured in the same way across groups (e.g.\, racial/ethnic and/or gender groups). This talk considers the affordances and limitations of MIMICs for critical quantitative methods\, by detecting and mitigating racial\, ethnic\, gendered\, and other forms of bias in items and in measures. Discussion topics will include the affordances of Crit Quant vs QuantCRiT (Quantitative Critical Race Theory) and how Crit Quant and MIMICs do (and don't) detect racism in psychological and social science measures.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CAS Workshop. Language Revitalization and Resurgence: The Case of Modern Armenian
DESCRIPTION:13th Annual International Graduate Student Workshop in Armenian Studies\nLanguage Revitalization and Resurgence: The Case of Modern Armenian\nMarch 8-9\, 2024\nWeiser Hall 1010 / Zoom: 917 6925 4957\n\nOver the years\, the Center for Armenian Studies has fostered dialogue with graduate students around the globe through our annual graduate student workshops. Together with our faculty\, graduate students\, and visiting and post-doctoral fellows we have pushed scholarship in Armenian Studies in new directions through our collective efforts. \n\nThe Thirteenth Annual International Graduate Student Workshop will focus on various issues related to the modern Armenian language. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the establishment of Armenian independence\, de-Russification processes have allowed Eastern Armenian to gain an increasing presence in a variety of public institutions in the Republic of Armenia. At the same time\, the future of the many regional dialects of Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) remains uncertain\, in light of both the globalizing modern media environment and the region’s political precarity. In the diaspora\, Western Armenian has been in crisis mode\, even being declared an endangered language by UNESCO. Yet this crisis has also coincided with\, or even itself engendered\, somewhat of a resurgence\, as diaspora communities continue to search for innovative ways to make Western Armenian an everyday part of individuals’ lives. In both the Republic of Armenia and the diaspora\, different varieties of Armenian are constantly coming into contact with one another as well as with foreign languages such as English\, Russian\, and French. What effects have these circumstances had on Armenian and its speakers\, and what will be the future trajectory of the language? How has the linguistic landscape of the Republic of Armenian been affected by recent and ongoing sociopolitical upheavals?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andrea Carlson Future Cache
DESCRIPTION:In Andrea Carlson Future Cache\, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors\, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15\, 1900. 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. Wiles\, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text\; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman\, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin\; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides\; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station\, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\, U-M Clements Library\, and U-M Clark Map Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Angkor Complex: ​Cultural Heritage and Post-Genocide Memory in Cambodia.
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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Curriculum / Collection
DESCRIPTION:In Curriculum / Collection\, an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. 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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Seminar Series: Éric Moulines\, Professor\, Department of Statistics\, Ecole Polytechnique
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  The interest in using Denoising Diffusion Models (DDM) as priors for solving Bayesian inverse problems has increased rapidly in recent time.  However\, sampling from the resulting posterior distribution is a challenge. To address this problem\, previous works have proposed approximations to skew the drift term of the diffusion. In this work\, we take a different approach and utilize the specific structure of the DDM prior to define a set of intermediate and simpler posterior sampling problems\, resulting in a lower approximation error compared to previous methods. We empirically demonstrate the reconstruction capability of our method for general linear inverse problems on the basis of synthetic examples and various image restoration tasks.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Graduate Student Countermapping Workshop with Cian Dayrit
DESCRIPTION:Graduate students from any discipline are welcome to attend this hands-on mapping workshop as an exercise in thinking reflexively and creatively about their research. Time allotted includes a lunch after the workshop session. \n\nMapping is a mode of storytelling. Yet\, cartography is often concentrated in the hands of the powerful. In response\, “counter-mapping” has developed as a practice that empowers communities to challenge hegemonic narratives about space and foreground subaltern knowledge.\n\nThe Mapping and Counter-mapping: Methods for Art\, Activism\, and Scholarship two-day series also includes talks and a roundtable discussion.\n\nOrganized by Jatin Dua and Alyssa Paredes\, with Francesca Conterno and Kristi Rhead.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Products from Pollution: Carbon Capture and Conversion
DESCRIPTION:Phasing out fossil fuels is a primary means to fight climate change\, but it alone is not enough. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. 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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:You Can Lead a Horse to Water: Spatial Learning and Path Dependence in Consumer Search
DESCRIPTION:We develop and estimate a model of consumer search with spatial learning. Consumers make inferences from previously searched objects to unsearched objects that are nearby in attribute space\, generating path dependence in search sequences. The estimated model rationalizes patterns in data on online consumer search paths: search tends to converge to the chosen product in attribute space\, and consumers take larger steps away from rarely purchased products. Eliminating spatial learning reduces consumer welfare by 13%: cross-product inferences allow consumers to locate better products in a shorter time. Spatial learning has important implications for product recommendations on retail platforms. We show that consumer welfare can be reduced by unrepresentative product recommendations and that consumer-optimal product recommendations depend both on consumer learning and competition between platforms.\n\nThis talk is presented by the Applied Microeconomics/Industrial Organization Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Jean Coven Speakers Fund in Economics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE 2024 Walter J. Weber\, Jr. 
Distinguished Lecture in Environmental and Energy Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:\"Emerging Basic Science Questions Regarding Water Transport in Polymers for Water Purification\, Resource Recovery\, and Energy Applications\"\n\nJoin us in honor of Dr. Weber's remarkable 46-year legacy at the University of Michigan\, where his impact as a scientist\, educator\, and mentor truly shaped the field of environmental engineering. Celebrated as one of the \"One Hundred Engineers of the Modern Era\" by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers\, his esteemed career is an inspiration to us all. Don't miss this opportunity to connect at the lecture that continues his tradition of excellence and innovation and encourage your students to do the same! \n\nAbstract:\nThis presentation will focus on a foundational question regarding the transport mechanism of small molecules through polymers for liquid separations\, specifically water transport through membranes being used or considered for use in\, for example\, desalination\, resource recovery\, and fuel cell membranes. Historically\, the transport of small molecules\, such as gases\, water\, ions\, organic solutes\, etc. through dense membranes that do not have fixed\, permanent pores spanning the membrane\, is described by the solution-diffusion model. In this model\, small molecules partition from a contiguous fluid phase into the membrane\, and the membrane/fluid interface is at thermodynamic equilibrium\, so equilibrium partitioning of solutes into membranes can be modeled using the machinery of thermodynamics. The rate limiting step for transport in virtually all membranes is the diffusion of the small molecules through the membrane\, typically drive by a concentration gradient\, electric field\, or both. Water will permeate through a membrane under the influence of a hydrostatic pressure difference. That is\, a membrane exposed to a high hydrostatic pressure on one side and a low hydrostatic pressure on the other will permeate water from the high pressure to low pressure side of the membrane. This phenomenon is commonly observed in\, for example\, desalination membranes\, such as reverse osmosis membranes. The solution-diffusion model uses thermodynamic principles to link the pressure difference across the membrane to a concentration gradient in the membrane\, with water permeation occurring because of Fickian diffusion of water down its concentration gradient in the membrane.\n\nIn the past few years\, studies have been published purporting to demonstrate that\, in fact\, water transport through such membranes is governed by a pore flow model\, where water transport is presumed to occur via a network of interconnected\, water-filled subnanometer channels or pores\, with water flowing through the pores due to the imposed hydrostatic pressure difference across the membrane. Such pores are presumed to be too small to observe directly by any known technique\, so evidence for this hypothesis comes indirectly from (primarily) water transport data and computer simulations.\n\nA dispositive distinguishing feature between the solution-diffusion and pore flow models is the existence of a water concentration gradient inside a membrane subjected to a hydrostatic pressure gradient. In the solution-diffusion mechanism\, the hydrostatic pressure difference across the membrane induces a water concentration gradient inside the membrane\, and in the pore flow model\, no such concentration gradient would be observed. Therefore\, we have conducted experimental studies to directly measure the water concentration as a function of distance through a series of polymer membranes\, including cellulose acetate\, Nafion\, and crosslinked hydrogels based on poly(ethylene oxide) under hydrostatic pressure differences as high as 200 bar or more. Our studies show distinct concentration gradients in all of the membrane materials considered\, with the flux and concentration gradients well-described by Fick’s law of diffusion and conventional solution thermodynamics.\n\nSpeaker Bio: \nBenny Freeman is the William J.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ESDM Parent Training Group – Spring 2024
DESCRIPTION:The University Center for the Child and Family is offering a new virtual session for the ESDM Parent Training Group in Spring 2024. The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an evidence-based treatment model for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The group is designed for parents and caregivers with children ages 5 and under who have diagnosed or suspected ASD or a Developmental Delay.\n\nThe parent training group is designed to teach parents these strategies to increase the number of intervention hours that young children receive. A secondary goal is to support parents of children with ASD/Developmental Delays and help them develop a community of parents in a similar life stage. Since it is a parent training group\, children are welcome but not required to attend.\n\nRequirements:\n1. In order to enroll in the group\, the caregiver must have a child ages 5 or under who has diagnosed or suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder or developmental delay (e.g. speech delay\, Global Developmental Delay etc). \n\n2. Participating families must attend one group screening/orientation session prior to the start of the group\, to ensure that they are a good fit for the group. This initial screening appointment will last approximately 30-45 minutes.\n\nWhen: 12 – 1 p.m. Fridays\, beginning January 26 (10 weeks).\nWhere: Online via Zoom\n\nProspective clients should call UCCF at (734) 615-7853 to schedule their orientation/screening appointment.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Flash Talk | The Kelsey Museum Botanical Collections from Karanis: Challenges and Opportunities for Dating Legacy Material with Radiocarbon Analysis
DESCRIPTION:The extensive and exceptionally preserved collections of organic artifacts and ecofacts from Karanis—a Graeco-Roman farming village in the Fayum (Egypt)\, excavated by the University of Michigan between 1924 and 1935—offer an untapped and unique resource for reevaluating the chronology of the site. Carbon-14 analysis on specimens of stored grains retrieved from 12 Karanis houses reveals a clear disconnect with the current dating of the domestic structures. In this Flash Talk\, Laura Motta will discuss the results of such study in relation to the opportunities and challenges of radiocarbon analysis of legacy collections\, both in terms of sample selection as well as ethical concerns over destructive analysis and stewardship of cultural heritage.\n\nKelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators\, staff members\, researchers\, graduate students\, and guests talking about their recent research or current projects. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors. They take place at noon on the first Friday of every month.\n\nTo register for this Flash Talk\, fill out the form at https://forms.gle/vMmEasN7JZrhBrgp8. Zoom log-in information will be provided upon registration. Please sign up by 9:30 AM the day of the event to ensure you receive a confirmation email containing the access code.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop for students that introduces principles and practices of equitable\, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations. \n\n**New for 2023-24\, this workshop is an updated version of Ginsberg’s long-standing Entering\, Engaging\, and Exiting (E3) session. If you’ve attended that session in the past\, you’ll gain additional knowledge from this session.**

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The awesome power of fluorine NMR - from drugs to cells
DESCRIPTION:Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a versatile tool for probing structure\, dynamics\, folding\, and interactions at atomic resolution. While naturally occurring magnetically active isotopes\, such as 1 H\, 13 C\, or 15 N\, are most commonly used in biomolecular NMR\, with 15 N and 13 C isotopic labeling routinely employed at the present time\, 19 F is a very attractive and sensitive alternative nucleus\, which offers rich information on biomolecules in solution and in the solid state. This presentation will summarize the unique benefits of solution\, solid-state and in-cell 19 F NMR spectroscopy for the study of biomolecular systems. Particular focus will be placed on the most recent studies and on unique and important potential applications of fluorine NMR methodology.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute Seminar | Quantum Advantages in Energy Minimization
DESCRIPTION:Leo Zhou\, DuBridge Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech\, will be presenting \"Quantum Advantages in Energy Minimization\" as part of the Quantum Research Institute's winter seminar series from 2:00 - 3:00 pm in West Hall\, Room 340 (3rd floor). A Zoom option is also provided.\n\nSeminar Description:\nMinimizing the energy of a many-body system is a fundamental problem in many fields. Although we hope a quantum computer can help us solve this problem better than classical computers\, we have a very limited understanding of where a quantum advantage may be found. In this talk\, I will present some recent theoretical advances that shed light on quantum advantages in this domain. First\, I describe rigorous analyses of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm applied to minimize energies of classical spin glasses. For certain families of spin glasses\, we find the QAOA has a quantum advantage over the best known classical algorithms. Second\, we study the problem of finding a local minimum of the energy of quantum systems. While local minima are much easier to find than ground states\, we show that finding a local minimum under thermal perturbations is computationally hard for classical computers\, but easy for quantum computers.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Understanding the deformation of granular matter and its implications for granular locomotion
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Granular matter\, being an assembly of discrete particles\, has complex mechanical behaviors emerging from the interactions of these particles\, which often have a disordered yet non-trivial spatial arrangement. Unlike crystalline materials\, the packing structure in a disordered material is often hard to describe mathematically\, which prohibits us from understanding the deformation from a structure-property point of view. In this presentation\, I will first present experimental results of the deformation of a layer of granular particles floating at an air-oil interface\, through which I can demonstrate the elasto-plastic nature of deformation in the quasi-static regime. Based on the experimental results\, a machine learning-based modeling framework was developed based on the interplay between elasticity\, packing structure\, and quasi-localized rearrangements of particles. The model can capture a ductile-to-brittle transition observed in the experimental system due to the change of particle properties.\n\nIn the second part of the talk\, I will demonstrate the implications of the complex mechanical behaviors of granular materials for locomotion. In this problem\, granular matter can be considered as a soft and yielding medium that interacts with a deforming body. I will show experimentally that a scallop-like swimmer with reciprocally flapping wings generates locomotion in granular matter\, which is often not possible in Newtonian liquids at low Reynolds numbers. We use X-ray imaging and discrete element method simulations to reveal the microscopic picture of how the wings interact with surrounding particles. The locomotion is enabled by a prolonged hysteresis in the material response that originates from a combination of jamming-induced material rigidity and plastic deformation of the free surface. Cooperative effects are observed when the two wings are in close proximity\, which potentially involves interaction of zones with jammed particles as well as heap building on the free surface.\n\nContact:  Silas Alben

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Compactification of the Hurwitz Scheme
DESCRIPTION:We are motivated by the following problem: which curves are d-sheeted covering spaces of the projective line? We discuss the moduli space of d-sheeted coverings\, the *Hurwitz Scheme\,* together with a particular compactification due to Mumford and Harris. This compactification\, and its relationship to the compactification of the moduli space of genus g curves\, allows us to use graph-theoretic tools to help determine whether certain general curves are d-sheeted coverings of P^1.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | The Gravity of Light Scalars (Naturally)
DESCRIPTION:We live in remarkable times: the recent advent of gravitational-wave observations allows testing gravity in a strongly relativistic regime. We also have plausible candidates for UV physics that reconciles General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. But there is also Bad News: Decoupling - which beautifully explains why low-energy measurements are largely insensitive to UV details - seems a central organizing feature of Nature that thwarts the extraction of fundamental insights about UV physics from astrophysical or cosmological observations. This talk argues that all is not lost because some UV features can penetrate the decoupling barrier in interesting ways. In particular generic accidental symmetries can robustly point to the existence of scalars in the low-energy effective theory (and these are not just axions). Normally we are taught that naturalness arguments preclude these scalars from being light enough or too weakly coupled to be important for tests of gravity\, but I argue that the additional information that the observed Dark Energy is so small puts us in a regime where some scalars are pseudo-dilatons (ie naturally light with Brans-Dicke couplings to matter). The question of why these scalars are not already detected motivates more detailed studies of whether screening mechanisms exist that could have hidden them from present-day tests of gravity. Crucially they must do so in a way consistent with other properties of UV completions of gravity (in a way that standard screening mechanisms - like Chameleons - are not). The talk describes new proposals for such UV-consistent screening mechanisms and why they thread a blind spot in current theoretical approaches to testing gravity. If time permits I will also explore other implications these models might have\, including possible relevance to other problems like the Hubble tension.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The deep locus in a cluster variety
DESCRIPTION:Cluster varieties are geometric objects corresponding to cluster algebras\; they have many open subsets called cluster tori. These tori cover almost all of the cluster variety\, but not quite all of it\; the \"deep locus\" is the part of the cluster variety which is not in any cluster torus. In joint work with Marco Castronovo\, Mikhail Gorsky and José Simental Rodríguez\, we conjecture a description of the deep locus\, and prove it for braid varieties on 2 and 3 strands.  In this talk\, I will explain our conjecture\, and  I will make clear what combinatorial problem we'd need to solve in order to prove this result for all braid varieties. I will not assume that the audience has seen cluster varieties or braid varieties before and\, indeed\, I hope that this talk will serve as a good introduction to those topics.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Dr. Kristyn Voegele\, Rowan University
DESCRIPTION:Previous studies of articular cartilage in extant taxa have documented important aspects of cartilage shapes and thicknesses\, but these insights remain generalized and have yet to see systematic implementation in biomechanical modeling. In my talk I will describe a new method for modeling joints that allows for testing of hypotheses about articular cartilage morphology in extinct taxa. Our case study examines the left elbow of the sauropod dinosaur Dreadnoughtus schrani using articular cartilage reconstructions constrained by extant phylogenetic bracketing (EPB). EPB investigations of alligator and chicken articular cartilage revealed the presence of a spherical anterior projection of cartilage on the distal humerus which articulates with the radius during flexion. Importantly\, this shape does not directly mirror the underlying bone. I will present the results of multibody dynamic modeling of three alternative cartilage reconstructions based on these EPB findings which differ in mediolateral placement of a cartilage sphere and its anteroposterior thickness\, encompassing a range of possibilities for the condition in Dreadnoughtus. Each model\, include of two EPB taxa\, produced distinct results that were generally similar\, supporting this modeling methodology. Based on these findings\, we predict that Dreadnoughtus\, and presumably other extinct archosaurs\, had a spherical projection of cartilage on the anterior face of the distal end of the humerus for articulation with the radius. Future studies applying these methods within a quantitative hypothesis-testing framework can advance the field of paleobiology by testing hypotheses relating shape and kinematics that are not possible with prescribed joint motions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELED - SAS Lecture Series | Towards a History of the House Museum in Postcolonial South Asia
DESCRIPTION:We regret that we have had to concel this event. We apologize for any inconvenience.\n\nOn March 29\, 2023\, the Delhi Art Gallery (DAG) announced its purchase of the modernist painter Jamini Roy’s house as India’s first professionally run private single artist museum—the Jamini Roy House Museum. Contrary to this statement by the DAG\, the conversion of artists’ homes into museums has a longer history in India.\n   \n   But more significantly\, the announcement is a helpful reminder that the history of the house museum remains largely unexplored in the context of South Asia. If the Industrial Revolution\, the rise of the modern state\, and colonial conquests gradually lent new value to the private homes of illustrious figures as publicly accessible sites for the acquisition and display of various kinds of collections in Europe and the United States\, the reanimation of the house as a museum is tied to the decline of colonialism and the articulation of nationalisms in South Asia. In a departure from the imaginary of the historic house or personal collection that anchors dominant accounts of the European and/or American house museum\, the conversion of homes of Indian royal\, literary\, political\, and cinematic icons into museums is often centered on memorializing the public life and authority of the deceased individual. Here\, their domestic space and effects are represented as a site of reverence with recourse to religious and secular modes of exhibition\, which speaks to the museum’s place in an expanded field of South Asian visual culture and public remembrance.\n   \n   By attending to the layered histories and varied modes of display that characterize particular “memorial homes” and other houses as museums in India\, this talk will undertake a processual engagement with the houseness of the house museum\, highlighting its potential to illuminate the densities of the relationship between museums and public culture in postcolonial South Asia.\n   \n   Tankha is an art historian of modern and contemporary South Asia. His research is focused on the relationship between aesthetics\, politics\, and postcolonialism in India. In his current book project\, tentatively titled “Nagaland and the Art of Indigenous Presence in Postcolonial South Asia\,” he explores the slippage that craft objects\, memorial monuments\, and house museums perform across ritual and secular domains of practice\, the tensions that characterize this border-crossing\, and what that tells us about the contemporaneity of art and the political significance of the aesthetic in the Indigenously-inhabited\, predominantly Christian\, and contested state of Nagaland in northeast India.\n   \n   His research and teaching draw on his graduate studies in art history and anthropology\, ethnographic research on museums\, archival research on photography and modern and contemporary art in India\, and teaching in universities and independent educational institutions in India\, the University of Toronto\, and Yale University.\n   \n   His work has appeared in Marg\, Trans Asia Photography\, Lalit Kala Contemporary\, IIC Quarterly\, and in the books\, The Artful Pose: Early Studio Photography in Mumbai c.1855-1940 (Mapin Publishing\, 2010) and No Touching\, No Spitting\, No Praying: the museum in South Asia\, edited by Saloni Mathur & Kavita Singh (Routledge\, 2015).\n   \n   Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

Through an inspiring array of presentations\, workshops\, showcases\, and a captivating keynote address\, our program aims to kindle the flame of creativity within you. Our vision is for each participant to leave feeling not only motivated but also empowered to explore their creative depths\, envisioning a future marked by equity\, particularly for marginalized groups. Join us as we delve into the realms of Afro-\, Asian-\, and Chicana-Futurism\, collectively shaping a narrative that fosters imagination and propels us towards a brighter\, more inclusive tomorrow. Let's embark on this transformative journey together!Each year\, SCOR is proud to host an annual social justice symposium. This event is a part of SCOR’s legacy and a testament to our commitment of fostering dialogue and awareness surrounding the academic\, social\, and cultural journeys of graduate students of color at the University of Michigan. While the symposium is thoughtfully designed with the needs and experiences of graduate students in focus\, we extend invitations to both undergraduate students and faculty\, recognizing that our experiences are not only unique to us. We understand it is important to garner a supportive community. We seek support from faculty who have navigated similar paths and from other students who resonate with the symposium themes. This is also an opportune time to connect with others who are contemplating their next steps after undergraduate or masters studies. Aligned with our mission\, SCOR welcomes everyone\, irrespective of identities\, religion\, culture or abilities to participate in the symposium\, showcasing the rich diversity and wealth of scholarly talent that Michigan graduate students have to offer. In pursuit of our objectives\, this year's symposium revolves around the theme \"Express Yourself—a vibrant celebration of self-expression.\" Our aim is to cultivate a safe and encouraging space for students to explore creative outlets and illuminate how their multifaceted experiences shape their research\, hobbies\, and other interests in the face of challenging realities.

SUMMARY:Performance:Igor Levit
DESCRIPTION:Igor Levit is like no other pianist\,” proclaims The New Yorker\, while The New York Times calls him “one of the most important artists of his generation.”\n\nIn this return engagement after his 2016 UMS debut\, Igor Levit  performs transcriptions of Beethoven’s “Eroica” Symphony and the Adagio from Mahler’s unfinished 10th symphony\, as well as Paul Hindemith’s Suite “1922\,” written for solo piano with several movements based on popular dances of the day\, including the shimmy\, Boston\, and ragtime.\n\nWith an alert and critical mind\, he places his art in the context of social events and understands it as inseparably linked to them. The Nizhny Novgorod native moved to Germany at age eight\, and within a decade was the youngest participant in the International Arthur Rubinstein Competition\, where he won silver\, the special prize for chamber music\, the audience prize\, and the special prize for the best performance of contemporary pieces.\n\nPROGRAM\nPaul Hindemith Suite 1922\nGustav Mahler Adagio from Symphony No. 10 (arr. for piano by Ronald Stevenson)\nLudwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 3 in E-flat Major\, Op. 55 (“Eroica”) (arr. for piano by Franz Liszt)

SUMMARY:Performance:\"Good. Steady. Still.\" - Master of Fine Arts in Dance First Year Performance
DESCRIPTION:After a semester of curation and making\, this event features works by Kiana Cook\, Scott Crandall\, Leah Crosby\, Ginny Jiang\, and Timothy Tsang\, students who were enrolled in Dance 532 (Grad Performance) with Professor Charli Brissey in the winter 2024 term. *Good. Steady. Still.* is a diverse 60-minute show with original lighting design by Mary Cole. \n\nFree tickets are available at the door starting one hour before the performance. Doors open at 7:30 and the show starts promptly at 8pm with no intermission. This performance is made possible through generous support from University of Michigan-Ann Arbor’s School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.\n\nKiana “KC” Cook will present a work on her identity development as a mixed-race child turned woman entitled\, *Steady Searchin’ for My Halo*. Scott Crandall’s *Cousin Lizzie’s First Birthday* is an experiment in how to lengthen and shrink the distance between performer and audience\, and between the audience members from each other. Leah Crosby’s *Tenderizing* uses junk shop technology to tell stories about learning how to be taken care of. It is an illustrated podcast\, it is a puppet show… It is basically a really emo powerpoint presentation. Ginny Jiang’s piece is filled with seemingly ridiculous\, abnormal\, unsafe\, wary\, probing actions which hint at the character of a person's body and movements. Inspired by acts of self-navigation and resistance\, Ginny delves into the wilderness of thought and the meaning of wild\, free-growing vitality through the power of vision and figuration. Timothy Tsang is debuting a solo as a tribute to the memory of Brian Anthony Moczygemba.\n\nAccessibility: ADA accessible\nContent Rating: PG-13 for mild language\n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS\n \nKIANA “KC” COOK is a multidisciplinary artist\, cultural producer\, and practitioner of street and social dance forms from the African diaspora. She is currently integrating her songwriting\, raps\, and a loop machine into her performance-making process. Her work is about applying the idea that performance can help people process various topics from identity development to health and communal healing.\n\nSCOTT CRANDALL is an interdisciplinary performance artist\, designer\, writer\, and educator based in Detroit. They create hilarious and thoughtful performances about horrible beloved crumbling America with collaborator Maddy Rager as the Kresge Fellowship-winning duo “Thank You So Much For Coming”. Crandall is currently pursuing an MFA in Dance at the University of Michigan.\n\nLEAH CROSBY is a multimedia artist\, collaborator\, and genre-bender. They are a daydream creator interested in the empathetic potential of fantasy\, the use of play and pleasure\, the activation of public spaces\, and designing participatory events. With cheeky humor and a flair for the devastating\, they use audio\, performance\, and games to make work that is hilariously sad. They are an MFA candidate at the Penny Stamps School of Art and Design.\n \nLINGJING (GINNY) JIANG is a site-oriented artist\, educator\, filmmaker\, choreographer and dancer\, MFA student at the University of Michigan. Ginny’s work have been creating and performing by awarded and commissioned of lots art centers\, festivals\, galleries\, conferences and performance venues including Dance Studies Associations (Argentina\, 2024)\, 2023 Florence Contemporary Art Exchange Exhibition\, winner of Montreal women Film Festival and big syn international film festival (london\, UK)\, SPURS Gallery\, Peking University Center for Business and Arts Research (China)\, Edinburgh International Festival\, 33rd Korea Dance Festival\, The Guardian Art Center\, No More Play dance company and more which both nationally and internationally.\n \nTIMOTHY TSANG is a queer Chinese-American dance educator\, performer & choreographer.

After a decade in Shanghai\, he returned to the Chicago suburbs to complete high school and obtained his BA in Dance from Columbia College Chicago.  Many of Tsang’s choreographic endeavors since have centered around inquiries into identity\, contributing to a deeper connection with cultural narratives that shape his identity as a queer Chinese-American artist. Currently\, Tsang is a graduate student at the University of Michigan\, focusing his studies on exploring the intersections between cultures\, identities\, and dance\, with the goal of further developing a multidisciplinary practice and refining his voice as a Queer Chinese-American artist.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Astronomy Night
DESCRIPTION:Experience history and astronomy at the Detroit Observatory! We are excited to start off Astronomy night with a feature talk from U-M Astronomy Professor Emily Rauscher called Weird and Wacky Weather on Extrasolar Worlds.\n\nMany of the exoplanets that have been found orbiting around nearby stars have atmospheres completely unlike any in our Solar System. The most extreme examples have supersonic winds\, clouds made of mineral and metallic dust\, and even electrical currents flowing through the gas. Prof. Rauscher will discuss how we learn about these extreme examples of weather\, from both observations and computer models.\n\nTalk begins at 8PM and will be followed by tours at 8:30PM through the historic Detroit Observatory and\, if weather permits\, night sky observing through the historic Fitz Telescope.\n\nYou may purchase a ticket for either the talk plus telescope observing or just for telescope observing.
