SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.\n\n[The Hatcher Library will be closed December 21 to January 1.]

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.

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:AI in Health Ethics and Policy
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare in major ways. It has the potential to help clinicians make better diagnoses and offer personalized treatment\, while also promising to revolutionize how healthcare is delivered. However\, healthcare systems that deploy AI\, and patients whose care is impacted by AI face many ethical considerations. How will access to appropriate data be balanced with privacy? Who is responsible for the quality of AI tools? Are AI technologies contributing to or mitigating health inequities? Are the AI systems we are building trustworthy? \n\nThe Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS)\, the Learning Health System Collaboratory\, the E-Health and Artificial Intelligence (e-HAIL) program and Trust\, Innovation and Ethics Research for Responsible AI (TIERRA) invite you to a joint mini-symposium featuring prominent speakers from the U.S. and Canada to explore ethical issues and regulations of health AI. The event aims to stimulate new ideas and collaboration for the development and implementation of ethical and trustworthy AI systems for healthcare.\n\nFor more information\, please visit our event page: https://midas.umich.edu/health-ai-ethics-symposium/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bill Jackson Photography Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is entitled HOMECOMING because it has been almost 6 years since Bill was scheduled to have an exhibition at NCRC Gallery.  However\, his untimely passing in 2018 prevented the exhibition.  In honor of the artist\, his wife Meighen Jackson has assembled this body of work for this exhibition.\n\nA 1960’s graduate of Monteith College at Wayne State\, Bill saw himself not as a storyteller nor a documentarian\, but as a photographer seeking images with the power and creativity of late 20th century painting and music making.\n\nBill Jackson’s work is represented nationally by Walter Wickiser Gallery in Manhattan and regionally by M Contemporary in Ferndale\, MI.   It is included in many permanent collections including Wayne State University in Detroit.

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:Garden Repairs
DESCRIPTION:About the installation:\nGarden Repairs is an installation of paper textiles that loosely narrate the life cycle of plants. It considers the process of germination as a site for the cross-pollination of ideas from diverse disciplines around the future of the built environment. \n\nAbout the artist:\nSusan Goethel Campbell creates multi-disciplinary work that considers the contemporary landscape to be an emergent system where nature\, culture\, and the engineered environment are indistinguishable from one another. Central to her practice is the collection\, documentation\, and observation of seasonal change and ephemera in both natural and artificial environments. Her work is realized in several formats\, including installation\, video\, prints\, and drawings\, as well as projects that engage communities to look at local and global environments.\n\nCampbell earned an MFA in printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium\, Germany\, Switzerland\, and Slovenia and nationally throughout the US\, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, Queens Art Museum\, Crystal Bridges Museum\, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit\, Grand Rapids Art Museum\, the Detroit Institute of Arts\, The Drawing Center\, and The International Print Center New York. In 2009 she was one of 18 artists selected for the inaugural Kresge Artist Fellowship.\n\nCampbell has been awarded residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts\, the Flemish Center for Graphic Arts\, the Jentel Foundation\, Beisinghoff Print Residency\, and the Print Research Institute of North Texas. She taught studio art for 15 years at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and has been a visiting artist in numerous institutions in the United States and abroad. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, New York Public Library\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Toledo Museum of Art\, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library.\n\nThis project is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities' multi-year High Stakes Art initiative.

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:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Thesis Defense: Understanding Shifts in Soil Function Along a Successional Gradient in a  Temperate Forest
DESCRIPTION:About: Forest ecosystems provide a multitude of ecosystem services\, making it crucial to understand their dynamics during succession. Soil responds to disturbances like fires and tree harvesting along with the forest\, and thus plays a pivotal role in forest succession. The response of forest soils to fires and tree harvesting varies depending on factors such as climate and time. These factors can significantly influence soil functions including nitrogen availability\, mineralization\, and decomposition during succession. To understand how these soil functions are influenced by succession\, I leveraged a burn chrono-sequence at the University of Michigan Biological Station. This talk will highlight the variation of soil function across a chronosequence and possible environmental drivers of soil function. \nEmail eeb.gradcoord@umich.edu for access to this seminar virtually.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg Lecture - DNA where you expect RNA: from fluorescent aptamers to stress granules
DESCRIPTION:It is generally taken for granted that DNA is a biochemically \"inert\"\, structurally sedate repository of genetic information\, while RNA carries out sophisticated activities such as selective small-molecule binding and catalysis. In this lecture\, I will discuss two instances where we have encountered DNA performing unexpected roles. In the first\, our structural determination of the fluorogenic DNA aptamer \"Lettuce\" revealed a novel 4-way junctional fold that provides a binding site for its cognate fluorophore. While numerous RNA molecules capable of inducing the fluorescence (often in excess of 5000-fold) of otherwise non-fluorescent dyes have been isolated through in vitro evolution\, the 3D structures of these \"turn-on\" aptamers rely on extensive interactions of the ribose 2'-OH. Lettuce adopts its complex fold using completely different strategies\, therefore hinting that new principles of nucleic acid structure may emerge from the analysis of functional DNAs. In the second\, we have discovered that DNA in the cytoplasm is essential for the eukaryotic stress response. From yeast to human\, when cells encounter stressors (heat\, cold\, hypoxia\, etc.)\, their initial response is the cessation of protein synthesis\, and the condensation of their now ribosome-free mRNAs into large cytoplasmic bodies known as stress granules. We have recently devised new methods to purify stress granule cores from both budding yeast and mammalian (HEK293T) cells\, finding that they are biochemically stable\, ~200 nm particles. Analysis of their protein and RNA composition largely confirmed the results of previous reports on stress granule composition. Unexpectedly\, we discovered that stress granule cores also contain double-stranded circular DNA (extrachromosomal circular DNA\, eccDNA)\, and that their structural integrity in vitro depends on this DNA. Moreover\, targeting cytoplasmic eccDNAs through CRISPR technology abrogates the ability of live yeast to form stress granules. Previous studies have found eccDNAs in all eukaryotic cells\, but had not hinted at a cytoplasmic role. Our work provides a new functional connection\, mediated by DNA\, between the nucleus\, cytoplasmic membraneless organelles\, protein synthesis\, and the response of eukaryotic cells to their changing environments.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Interpretable Latent Variable Models: Identifiability\, Estimation\, and Inference
DESCRIPTION:Latent variable models play an increasingly crucial role in modern statistics and machine learning for analyzing large-scale and complex-structured data\, with wide-ranging applications across various scientific fields. For instance\, in educational assessments\, latent variable models capture unobservable traits\, such as intelligence\, personality\, and attitude. In biology and genomics\, latent variable models uncover underlying genetic factors\, gene expression patterns\, or hidden biological mechanisms. By inferring the latent variables\, researchers gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms governing the observed data. Despite wide applications of latent variable models\, the large scale and complex structures of data\, and the involvement of covariates pose numerous challenges for its identifiability\, estimation\, and inference. This dissertation focuses on developing identifiability theory\, estimation approaches\, and inference methodologies for interpretable latent variable models\, addressing three important problems:\n(I): The first part addresses the identifiability issues of latent class models with covariates. Despite that these models are widely used in various applications\, the fundamental identifiability issue of the latent class models with covariates has not been fully addressed. To address this open identifiability issue\, we establish conditions to ensure the global identifiability of the model parameters in both strict and generic sense. Moreover\, our results extend to polytomous-response Cognitive Diagnosis Models (CDMs) with covariates\, which generalizes the existing identifiability results for CDMs.\n(II) The second part develops estimation and inference methods for generalized linear framework with latent confounders. Statistical inferences for high-dimensional regression models have been extensively studied for their wide applications ranging from genomics\, neuroscience\, to economics. However\, in practice\, there are often potential unmeasured confounders associated with both the response and covariates\, which can lead to invalidity of standard debiasing methods. In this part\, we focus on a generalized linear regression framework with hidden confounding and propose a debiasing approach to address this high-dimensional problem\, by adjusting for the effects induced by the unmeasured confounders. We establish consistency and asymptotic normality for the proposed debiased estimator.\n(III) The third part focuses on statistical inference for covariate-adjusted generalized factor models. In addition to understanding the latent factors\, the covariate effects on responses controlling for latent factors is also of great scientific interest and has wide applications\, such as evaluating the fairness of educational testing\, where the covariate effect reflects whether a test question is biased toward certain individual characteristics (e.g. gender and race) taking into account their latent abilities. However\, the large sample size\, substantial covariate dimension\, and great test length pose great challenges to developing efficient methods and drawing valid inferences. Moreover\, to accommodate the commonly encountered discrete type of responses\, nonlinear factor models are often assumed\, bringing in further complexity to the problem. To address these challenges\, we consider a covariate-adjusted generalized factor model and develop novel and interpretable conditions to address the identifiability issue. Based on the identifiability conditions\, we propose a joint maximum likelihood estimation method and establish estimation consistency and asymptotic normality results for the covariate effects under a practical yet challenging asymptotic regime. Furthermore\, we derive estimation and inference results for latent factors and the factor loadings.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Advances in Machine Learning Safety
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: As more and more machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) systems are used in practical settings\, it is essential that they exhibit responsible\, trustworthy\, and safe behavior. This dissertation contributes to machine learning safety by focusing on the key aspects of value alignment\, data quality\, distributional robustness\, and their intersections. It is largely motivated by concerns about discrepancies between societal expectations and the performance of end-to-end ML systems\, data quality degradation caused by privacy protocols or data noise\, and distribution shifts posed by dynamic interactions between ML models and their environments.\n\nThis dissertation zeroes in on three problems that arise in machine learning safety. They are:\n1. calibrated data-dependent constraints: guarantee real-world goals are satisfied with a user-prescribed probability at test time\;\n2. statistical cost of data noise in constrained learning: quantify the effect of sensitive attribute noise on the generalizability of (fairness) constraints\;\n3. model misspecification in performative prediction: design a robust learning framework to better approximate the performative optimum.\n\nBy carefully employing a blend of tools from distributionally robust optimization\, stochastic optimization\, and statistical inference\, this dissertation tackles these pressing issues in ML safety. The methodologies and insights provided herein lay the groundwork toward a more ethical and effective deployment of ML and AI technologies\, contributing to ensuring that these systems align with human values and exhibit reliability against the complexities of real-world applications.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG NT: Affine Soergel bimodules and flattening
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Soergel bimodules categorify the Hecke algebra of a Coxeter group and have been useful in studying Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials.  Khovanov used Soergel bimodules for the symmetric group to construct a triply graded link invariant which is notoriously difficult to compute. Recently\, Mellit and Hogancamp computed this invariant for torus links. Affine Soergel bimodules are an analogous categorification of affine Hecke algebras. Categorifying the flattening homomorphism from the affine Hecke algebra to the finite Hecke algebra could shed light on this computation of Mellit and Hogancamp. I will explain approaches to defining this functor and conjectures involving this functor and the categorical center of affine Soergel bimodules.
