The seventeen life-size figures\, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam\, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau’s life\, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work\, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience\, reflecting the healing power of art.\n\nAnn Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25\, 2024.

Her contributions to the Prison Creative Arts Project\, where she taught a weekly art workshop at Jackson Prison for four years\, showcase her commitment to using art as a tool for social change.\n\nDon't miss this opportunity to witness the transformative impact of Savageau's work and engage with her during her residency.

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college\, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota\, where no skyscrapers exist\, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia.

She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852696@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240829T141316 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241002T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241002T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Butch Closet DESCRIPTION:In the multi-media installation *The Butch Closet*\, artist Phranc illustrates her life stories as a queer artist\, Jewish lesbian folk singer\, and \"cardboard cobbler.\" By meticulously re-creating personal objects and pieces of clothing out of paper\, cardboard\, thread\, and paint\, she revisits her own history\, contextualizing her experiences as an iconic performer\, and maker\, constructing\, reconstructing\, and re-imagining her image against a larger historical context of second-wave feminism and queer activism. The institute's presentation of *The Butch Closet* is the second iteration of the project\, offering a more intimate and immersive engagement with Phranc's sculptural works. As part of the installation\, visitors can peer into a closet built in the center of the gallery designed by the artist. Conceptually\, the space shifts from inside to outside\, public and private\, and explores themes of visibility and that which remains inaccessible or unseen.\n\nAbout the artist:\nPhranc is a jewish lesbian folksinger and queer artist who uses song\, painting and sculpture to champion personal identities and illustrate the struggle\, survival\, and victory of the queer individual. An internationally acclaimed and award winning performer. Phranc’s work integrates humor and a butch lesbian aesthetic.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621405@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241002T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241002T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

Various pieces of evidence suggest that monotone states correspond to horizonless microstate geometries\, while fortuitous states are dual to supersymmetric black holes. In this talk\, I will connect this classification to the fine-grained features of BPS states using concepts from quantum chaos. In concrete models such as the N=4 SYM theory\, explicit calculations demonstrate that monotone states are only weakly chaotic\, whereas fortuitous states can exhibit strong chaos due to an “invasion” mechanism. I propose using the N=2 SUSY SYK model as a toy model to explore many of these ideas.

This research raises the question of how this relationship works under conditions when public confidence in poll results becomes situational. Individuals sometimes use motivated reasoning when encountering new information\, evaluating it in relation to their prior beliefs and attitudes. On some occasions they counter argue or devalue the new information if it does not agree with their priors. In a series of two pre-registered survey-based experiments\, respondent subjects evaluated simulated poll results showing that a majority of Americans agreed or disagreed with a position they hold on one of two different issues. For each issue\, their assessed credibility of the poll was lower when it suggested that the majority held a view contrary to their own\, a demonstration of motivated reasoning. For one issue\, this relationship was reinforced among more polarized respondents and for conservatives compared to Liberals and for Republicans compared to Democrats but not for the other issue\, raising a question about whether the impact of affective political polarization could be issue specific in this context. In a second set of experiments\, the same results were reproduced – an effect of affective political polarization for one issue but not for the same issue as in the first experiment. Avenues for further research are discussed.\n\nProfessor Michael W. Traugott studies the mass media and their impact on American politics. This includes research on the use of the media by candidates in their campaigns and its impact on voters\, as well as the ways that campaigns are covered and the impact of this coverage on candidates.

A myriad of societal problems concerning energy\, clean water and air\, and medicine all need to be solved by the discovery of new compounds with dramatically improved\, or even new\, properties. The search for such materials requires a blending of skills and mindsets that\, traditionally\, have been segregated into different academic disciplines: physics\, chemistry\, metallurgy\, materials science. In this colloquium I will outline the basic philosophy and techniques that we use to search for novel materials. These include a combination of intuition\, experience\, compulsive optimism and a desire to share discovery.[1]\n\nIn the second half of the lecture\, the specific case of superconductivity will be used as an example of one such search. Over the past couple of decades a growing sense of where and even how to search for new superconductors has been developing\, with the recent discoveries of MgB2 and the FeAs based materials providing\, at least for me\, clear guidance. [2] Stories will be told\, jokes will be cracked\, slow burn puns will be deployed. Any resemblances to persons living or dead is coincidental.\n\n[1] Paul C. Canfield\, Rep. Prog. Phys. 83 [2020] 016501.\n[2] Paul C. Canfield\, Nature Materials 10 [2011] 259.\n\nBio:\nDr. Paul C. Canfield is a Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy and holds the Robert Allen Wright Endowed Chair in Physics at Iowa State University\; he is a Senior Scientist in Ames National Laboratory. Over the past thirty years his research group has made over 10\,000 growths of novel materials. His group has discovered new examples of superconducting\, antiferromagnetic\, ferromagnetic\, topological\, quantum critical\, and strongly correlated materials and has used both pressure and chemical substitution to finely tune systems and ground states.\n\nDr. Canfield has won numerous awards including: the 2011 DOE Lawrence Award\, the 2014 American Physical Society\, David Adler Lectureship Award in the Field of Material Physics\, a 2015 Humboldt Research Award\, and the 2017 American Physical Society\, James C. McGroddy Prize for New Materials. He was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 2001\, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2020 and a fellow of American Association for Advancement of Science in 2023.

What a game!” They might also make a joke aboutthe long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation.If you are interested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’syour chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk asan international student. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers!

The first Indian film was made in 1913. However\, filmmaking was recognized as an industry almost a hundred years later. Yet\, Indian films have been circulating globally since their inception. This book unearths this oft-elided history of Bollywood's globalization through multilingual\, transnational research and discursive cultural analysis. Over the decades\, a handful of primarily male megastars\, as the heads of the industry's most prominent productions and corporations\, combined overwhelming charismatic affect with unparalleled business influence. Through their “star switching power\,” theorized here as a deeply gendered phenomenon and manifesting broader social inequalities\, India's most prominent stars instigated new flows of cinema\, industrial collaborations\, structured distinctive business models\, influenced state policy and diplomatic exchange\, thereby defining the future of Bollywood's globalization.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG’s Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights new books by our faculty.

There are many such orbital integrals\, however the study of these infinitely many integrals can be in a sense reduced to studying a finite amount of data: the finite collection of nilpotent orbital integrals and their associated Shalika germs.

From the late Soviet Cascade to the post-Soviet megaproject Northern Avenue\, his legacy has continued to serve as a point of reference.\n Roaming through scattered experimental buildings\, blueprints hidden in private archives\, and surrealist fiction suppressed by Soviet censors\, the talk seeks to reconstruct from the debris of history an alternative pathway to imagining the Soviet city. Contesting Tamanyan's Eurocentric vision of the city\, the talk recounts the story of those who were torn between anticipation for a communist future and a longing for the city's Persian heritage – which was being razed before their eyes.\n \n Bio: Dr. David Leupold is a research fellow at Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient Berlin and principal investigator of the research project “Relicts of the Future? Life and Afterlife of the Socialist City in Central Asia and the Southern Caucasus” funded by the German Research Association (DFG). Leupold was a 2018-2019 Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow in the University of Michigan Department of Sociology and holds a doctoral degree from the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.\n \n His research interests comprise contested geographies and the collective imaginations of past\, present and future in the post-Ottoman and post-Soviet space.

The Hodge bundle is a rank g vector bundle on A_g given by pulling back the relative cotangent bundle of the universal family along the zero section. The top Chern class of the Hodge bundle on A_g vanishes. However\, when the Hodge bundle is extended to a compactification of A_g\, this top Chern class stops vanishing. I will present a conjectural formula for this top Chern class on the second Voronoi compactification of A_g. The formula is expressed as a piecewise polynomial on the dual cone complex\, the moduli space of tropical principally polarized abelian varieties.

We demonstrate that optimal relaxed controls exist for both maximization and minimization cases. These relaxed controls are defined by random measures across the state and control spaces\, with the state process described as a solution to the associated martingale problem. By leveraging findings from \cite{kur-sto}\, we establish the equivalence between the martingale problem and the stationary forward equation. This allows us to reformulate the relaxed control problem into a linear programming problem within the measure space. We prove the sequential compactness of these measures\, thereby confirming the feasibility of achieving an optimal solution. Subsequently\, our focus shifts to Mean Field Games. Drawing on insights from the single-agent problem and employing Kakutani--Glicksberg--Fan fixed point theorem\, we derive the existence of a mean field game equilibria.

As time permits\, we will also look through Andrej Karpathy’s “build-nanogpt” repository to precisely understand some implementation details. \n\nDiffusion Models: Diffusion models\, in essence\, work by learning to denoise data that had been noised with a prescribed forward process. While much work has been done on different mathematical formulations of the process\, the architectural part that actually does the learning is often divorced from the former and relegated to a footnote in the articles. In this lightning talk\, I will illustrate the development and workings of the main backbone architectures used in diffusion models\, from the ubiquitous U-Net to approaches utilizing Transformers.\n\nState Space Models: Much recent excitement has centered on sequential data modeling\, which has been recently dominated by the popular Transformer architecture. Transformers\, however\, suffer from a quadratic memory requirement in sequence length\, limiting its use for the ever-increasing context window demands. State-space models (SSMs)\, in particular Mamba\, have arisen as a potential replacement for Transformers\, having linear memory scaling and comparable predictive performance. In this talk\, we discuss the fundamentals of SSMs from the perspective of linear dynamical systems and the core of the Mamba architecture.

In particular\, the principles governing intracellular molecular spatial organization and interaction\, as well as cellular spatial organization within complex tissues\, are still largely unclear. A major challenge lies in developing computational methods capable of integrating heterogeneous and multiscale molecular\, cellular\, and tissue information. In this talk\, I will discuss our recent work on creating integrative approaches to advance single-cell epigenomics. These methods hold the potential to reveal new insights into fundamental genome structure\, gene regulation\, and cellular function within complex tissues\, across a wide range of biological contexts in both health and disease.\n\nBio: Jian Ma is the Ray and Stephanie Lane Professor of Computational Biology in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. His lab develops advanced AI/ML methods to explore the structural and functional complexity of the human genome and cellular organization. His work tackles key computational challenges with broad implications for human health and disease. He serves as the Contact PI of a Center grant in the NIH 4D Nucleome Program and Co-Chair of its Steering Committee. His recent work has been supported by the NIH\, NSF\, CZI\, Google\, and the Mark Foundation. He has received several awards\, including an NSF CAREER Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship (in Computer Science)\, and is an elected Fellow of AAAS.

Born in Cuba to parents of African and European ancestry\, Nicolás Guillén worked in printing presses and studied law before moving into Havana’s literary scene. A virtuosic maker and breaker of forms\, Guillén rose to fame by transforming a popular form of Cuban music into poetry that called attention to the experience of Afro-Cuban people\, and he continued to interweave his artistic and political commitments as he traveled the world.\n \nOriginally published in Spanish in 1967\, The Great Zoo is a humorous and biting collection of poems that presents a fantastical bestiary of ideas\, social concerns\, landscapes\, phenomena\, and more. The “animals” on view in this menagerie include the Mississippi and Amazon Rivers\, clouds from different countries\, a singing guitar\, a temperamental atomic bomb\, blue-pelted police\, a hurricane\, the KKK\, and the North Star\, among many others. Translated by Aaron Coleman with a keen understanding of the contexts of colonial racialization\, oppression\, and exoticism\, this bilingual edition stands as a testament to Guillén’s carnivalesque vision.\n\nAaron Coleman is an assistant professor of English and comparative literature in the Helen Zell Writers’s Program at the University of Michigan. He is the author of the poetry collection Threat Come Close\, winner of the Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award\, and the chapbook St. Trigger\, selected for the Button Poetry Chapbook Prize. Coleman has received fellowships from the NEA\, Fulbright Program\, Cave Canem Foundation\, and American Literary Translators Association. His poems and essays have appeared in publications including the New York Times\, Boston Review\, and Callaloo.

His song\, “Shimmer” was used in promotion of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney and was included on the Dawson’s Creek soundtrack. His co-write “All in My Head” from 2008’s Honeydew was featured in episode one of the hit TV sitcom “Scrubs.” Mullins also co-wrote the Zac Brown Band’s No. 1 country tune “Toes.” In early 2002\, he formed supergroup The Thorns with Matthew Sweet and Pete Droge. “No Blue Sky” from the resulting album\, is a modern day classic. \n\nFor the 20th anniversary of his breakthrough album\, Shawn revisited the music of Soul’s Core by recording two new versions of the album. He calls this Soul’s Core Revival. This is not a remix or a remaster of the original\, but rather brand new recordings with new arrangements of the songs – one album is stripped down solo performances\, some on guitar\, some on piano and maybe one a cappella and the second is a new studio recording with his full band\, Soul Carnival.\n \nhttps://shawnmullins.com/ UID:122246-21848506@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122246 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241017T183242 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241002T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241002T204500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Teach For America Corps Info Session DESCRIPTION:Interested in learning more about Teach For America and jump-starting a purpose-driven career?
