SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka
DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n   \n   The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n   \n   The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\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:Conference / Symposium:Climate Futures Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Climate change poses existential risks to the earth’s ecosystems and humanity’s ability to thrive. We need to make systemic change across many sectors–including the ways we plan\, develop\, design\, and construct our built environment\, which accounts for a high proportion of emissions. On October 17-18\, 2024\, the Taubman College of Architecture & Urban Planning at the University of Michigan will host Climate Futures 2024\, a symposium exploring the ways architecture and planning can help to bring about a better future for people and the planet.\n\nAcross two days of moderated presentation panels\, speakers will show how urban planners\, designers\, technologists and architects help to reduce emissions and improve equitable access to healthy and vital built environments. Symposium sessions will challenge the assumptions\, interests\, practices\, and values shaping the current landscape of climate action\, and they will open space for inclusive and collaborative imagining of new possibilities.\n\nThe event launches a new Climate Futures platform through which Taubman College aims to elevate our impact in discovery and education for climate action\, sustainability\, and environmental justice. By supporting students\, faculty\, staff\, and partners in research and creative practice\, teaching and learning\, outreach and engagement\, we aim to partner across and beyond the university to achieve inclusive\, vibrant\, and just futures.\n\nThis event is supported by the Guido A. Binda Exhibit and Lecture fund and the Raoul Wallenberg Memorial Lecture Fund. \n\nFor seven decades\, Guido Binda\, B.Arch.’31\, practiced architecture in Western Michigan\, specializing in school design. Guido\, with his wife Elizabeth\, created this fund to provide for an exhibit program and annual lecture by visiting professionals.\n\nThe Raoul Wallenberg Lecture was initiated in 1971 by Sol King\, a former classmate of Wallenberg’s. An endowment was established in 1976 for an annual lecture to be offered in Raoul’s honor on the theme of architecture as a humane social art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Guardians: Spirits of Protection
DESCRIPTION:This fall\, the Residential College Art Gallery proudly presents Guardians: Spirits of Protection\, an exhibition of evocative figurative sculptures by renowned artist Ann Savageau. The exhibition will be on display from August 26 to November 2\, 2024.\n\nWe invite the university community and the general public to explore this moving collection that delves into themes of loss\, grief\, healing\, and protection. 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. During her stay\, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23\, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery. Prior to the reception\, there will be an artist's talk in the Keene Theater at 3:30 pm\, where Savageau will share insights into her creative process and the inspiration behind Guardians.\n\nAnn Savageau\, a former Studio Art instructor at the Residential College from 1978 to 2002\, is not only an artist but also an activist and educator. 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. We look forward to seeing you at the RC Art Gallery.\n\nImportant Dates:\n\nExhibition: August 26 – November 2\, 2024\nArtist's Talk: October 23\, 2024\, at 3:30 pm\, RC Keene Theater\nArtist Reception: October 23\, 2024\, from 4:30 – 6:00 pm\, RC Art Gallery

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mrs. Dalloway and WWI: Home Front and War Front
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit explores the characters of Mrs. Dalloway through the lens of WWI and its aftershocks. It looks at those who fought in the trenches and those who watched from afar.\n\n[The exhibit includes references to suicide and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder\, which might be distressing for some visitors. Viewer discretion is advised.]\n\nWhile all of the action in Virginia Woolf’s modernist masterpiece takes place on a single day\, as preparations are made for Clarissa Dalloway’s evening party\, Woolf’s stream of consciousness writing takes us in the characters’ minds all the way from English drawing rooms to colonial India to the trenches of World War I.\n\nCheck today's Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours: https://myumi.ch/PkQ2x

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Steve Glazer Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Steve Glazer earned his BFA in art with a concentration in ceramics from Eastern Michigan University\, a master’s degree in art from Central Michigan University\, and MFA in fine arts and ceramics from Indiana State University. 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. After returning home to Detroit\, Glazer began his griot series\, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks\, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit\, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Susan Moran Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Susan Moran’s work is inspired by the natural world and our place in it.  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

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. Her current project\, Phranc Talk: The Butch Closet\, is a multi-media memoir that spans her 40-year career. Phranc lives and works in Santa Monica\, California and Vancouver\, British Columbia.\n\n*Phranc is the 2024 Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

Increasingly\, this strategy is shaping economically important markets\, but historically\, it has escaped antitrust enforcement. We study this phenomenon in the anesthesia industry\, home to the first rollup-based antitrust case in US history. Using procedure-level claims data\, we study the litigated transactions\, identify eighteen other observationally similar rollups\, and document their effects on market structure. We then show prices rise sharply as competing practices are acquired. Finally\, we estimate a structural bargaining model and simulate counterfactual equilibrium outcomes under remedies that courts are likely to consider.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: George Michailidis\, Professor\, Department of Statistics and Data Science\, UCLA
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Bilevel optimization (BLO) is an optimization problem that involves two levels of hierarchy (i.e.\, upper and lower levels)\, wherein obtaining the solution to the upper-level problem requires solving the lower-level one. BLO has recently attracted a lot of attention due to novel applications in machine learning that involve optimizing nested objective functions\, including hyperparameter tuning and related automated ML tasks\, few shot robust\, representation\, coreset and reinforcement learning. In the first part of the talk\, a very brief overview of the BLO problem\, selected machine learning applications that can be cast as BLO problems and algorithms to obtain its solution will be given.\n\nIn the second part of the talk\, we introduce the decentralized version of the BLO problem (without assuming a star-shape network topology) and present a penalty function-based decentralized algorithm with theoretical guarantees under both convex and non-convex assumptions for the upper level functions. Specifically\, a distributed alternating gradient-type algorithm for solving consensus BLO over a decentralized network is developed. A key feature of the proposed algorithm is the estimation of the hyper-gradient of the penalty function through decentralized computation of matrix-vector products and few vector communications. Further\, the theoretical results highlight improvements in the iteration complexity of decentralized BLO. Empirical results on selected ML problems demonstrate that the proposed method performs well in real-world settings.\n\nhttps://georgemichailidis.github.io/

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:Exhibition:Kelly Church & Cherish Parrish: In Our Words\, An Intergenerational Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: September 13 – December 7\, 2024Opening Reception: September 19\, 2024\n\nKelly Church &amp\; Cherish Parrish: In Our Words\, An Intergenerational Dialogue is a major exhibition that centers the subjectivities of two contemporary Indigenous artists whose practices have sustained and bolstered the relevance of the age-old Anishinaabe practice of black ash basket-making in the 21st century. 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.

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).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series | Reformatting Democracy: Contentious Episodes of Mediated Populism in the Philippines
DESCRIPTION:Mainstream Filipino politicians use calculated-mediated strategies to appeal to many segments of the public. Only a few of them however are capable of developing durable identities\, redemptive or otherwise\, that can command enduring sectoral support. The multifaceted case of Rodrigo Duterte\, Philippine president from 2016-2022 and father of incumbent vice president who is a major contender for the 2028 presidency\, remains central to the making of democratic polity in an age of communicative abundance.\n\nThis talk will look at the contentious episodes of mediated populism understood as critical moments where the expressions of performative populist politics in the media are deliberated by political actors like politicians\, journalists\, and members of the legal community through existing and innovative measures. Looking at diverse cases of press freedom\, religion\, and the law\, the hope is to highlight the actors\, claims\, and mechanisms that make populism a defining feature of mediated politics. The episodes of contentious politics matter to contemporary Southeast Asia and to the dynamics of emerging and developing democracies.\n\nJefferson Ragragio is an assistant professor of media studies at the University of the Philippines Los Baños and the 2024-2025 Gosling Lim Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FSML Lecture Series: Domain decomposition and coupling data-driven models of fluid flows
DESCRIPTION:Venue: 2636 GGBA and\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97823527756?pwd=H01BbvtuG5q02Wzb8LJvhUnvijlAIe.1\n\nAbstract: Simulating complex physical systems often requires joining non-uniform subsystems which may be characterized by different geometries or mesh topologies. Coupling these separate subsystems often relies on time-intensive meshing workflows or empirical coupling models which may not generalize well across all operational regimes. The Schwarz alternating method proposes to overcome these issues\, establishing an effective domain decomposition framework which allows for the coupling of arbitrary geometries. This talk presents a brief history of Schwarz-based coupling work at Sandia National Laboratories\, along with recent work on combining the Schwarz alternating method with data-driven modeling approaches\, namely projection-based reduced order models (PROMs) and operator inference. This approach can generate surrogates which are capable of simulating advection-dominated fluid flows with higher accuracy and lower cost than comparable monolithic models\, aiding analysis in many-query applications such as uncertainty quantification and engineering design. Several nuances of the Schwarz algorithm and their impacts on model performance are explored\, specifically non-overlapping decompositions and PROM hyper-reduction under domain decomposition. A look into ongoing Schwarz coupling work at Sandia discusses existing challenges and efforts to apply this approach to relevant engineering problems.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Belson Clovis Site: A 13\,000 Year Old Hunting Camp in Southwest Michigan
DESCRIPTION:The Belson Clovis site is recognized as the oldest known occupational site in the state. It is located on a small glacial outwash plain in Saint Joseph County. The soil type is a Bronson series sandy loam known for its high acidity. Because of this\, the chances of recovering any datable organic material from this late Pleistocene culture are low. This challenges us to extract all the information we can from what little clues they left behind. In this presentation I will cover topics of study related to: Paleo Environment / Ecosystem\, Clovis and other late Pleistocene stone tool technologies\, the importance of tool stone identification and sourcing\, lithic analysis\, and protein analysis. The Belson Clovis site\, being well into the 5th year of excavation\, provides a glimpse into the lives of these early “Hunter / Gatherers” in the Great Lakes Basin.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Time-Dependent Theory of Living Systems: From Universal Laws to Practical Design Principles
DESCRIPTION:Living systems behave differently from inert materials. The Lu group at UNC strives to build a time-dependent theory of living systems\, bridging non-equilibrium thermodynamics with biophysical design principles. This talk presents universal laws governing biological systems far from equilibrium\, introducing geometric design principles for time-domain activated behaviors in biochemical reaction networks. The theory reveals how certain biological catalysts or reaction networks can perform counter-intuitive tasks under dynamically changing environments\, which are unattainable in steady states. We extend this framework to larger-scale phenomena\, presenting universal non-equilibrium response relations applicable to diverse biological processes\, from protein folding to neural network dynamics. This theoretical foundation offers new approaches to understanding and manipulating complex living systems. By integrating time-dependent thermodynamics with biological complexity\, our group aims to provide a unified framework for understanding and engineering life-like performances in artificial synthetic materials.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RSJI Presentation by Dr. Grace Player
DESCRIPTION:This talk will invite the audience to consider the ways that Girls and Femmes of Color (GFOC) freedom dream educational worlds through artistic practices\, including art-making and curation. Through the exploration of a year-long project with a curatorial board of 5 GFOC\, this talk will explore the ways that GFOC use curatorial praxis and the arts to 1) conceptualize education justice\, and 2) create radical pedagogical artspaces that center GFOC learning\, teaching\, and creative practices. In doing so\, this presentation understands GFOC as sophisticated teachers\, learners\, creators\, and theorists of educational justice and offers suggestions for how educators might collaborate with GFOC to dream of and construct more just educational worlds.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Absorbing Sets\, Graph-Based Codes\, and Iterative Decoding -- Combinatorics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Mathematical coding theory addresses the problem of transmitting information reliably and efficiently across noisy channels. Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are graph-based codes whose representation\, encoding\, and/or decoding can be visualized using a sparse graph representation\, called a Tanner graph. The majority of this talk will focus on absorbing sets\, which are combinatorial structures in a code’s Tanner graph that have been shown to characterize iterative decoder failure of LDPC codes. Previously\, absorbing sets have been regarded as combinatorial\, graph-theoretic objects\, but in this talk\, I demonstrate a novel algebraic connection between absorbing sets and the cosets and syndromes of their support vectors. Time permitting\, I will also give highlights of some of my current projects in graph-based codes.

SUMMARY:Presentation:AI in Translation:  For Better or For Worse
DESCRIPTION:The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the translation and localization industry\, but the question remains: Can AI fully replace human translators\, or is it simply another tool in the translator’s toolkit? In this presentation\, we will explore both the perils and potential of AI in translation\, offering a balanced look at the technology’s impact on the future of language services.\n \nThis session will provide a deep dive into how AI tools like neural machine translation (NMT) and real-time speech recognition systems are revolutionizing translation workflows\, driving efficiency\, and reducing costs. We’ll examine successful case studies\, such as the EU’s hybrid AI-human approach\, and eBay’s AI-powered global expansion strategy.\n \nHowever\, the presentation also highlights the significant risks AI poses: from biased outputs and hallucinations to data security concerns and cultural insensitivity. Through real-world examples—such as Facebook’s infamous mistranslation leading to legal consequences and Google Translate’s gender biases—we uncover why human expertise remains critical in ensuring quality and nuance.\n \nJoin us for this thought-provoking session that answers the fundamental question: Will AI take over the translation industry\, or is the future of language services one of collaboration between human linguists and intelligent machines? (Hint: An “expert-in-the-loop” remains critical!)\n\n\nBIO:\nBridget Hylak\, CT\, CI\, MTC is a 30+ year language industry veteran\, international speaker\, consultant\, author and trainer\, working hard to bridge the gap between silo’d industry sectors. She is a globally recognized industry expert recently interviewed by TIME Magazine and NPR\, has co-authored a guidance on Machine Interpreting for the federal government\, and is a sought-after industry expert who serves on numerous committees in the language\, language technology\, AI and DEIA arenas.\n \nHylak is a regular contributor to Multilingual magazine\, serves as Chief Industry Strategist for two language industry startups named to Slator’s “50 under 50“ list for 2023\, and has consulted on several leading language technology tools. She is a past Administrator of the ATA Language Technology Division\, currently copilots as Assistant Administrator\, serves on ATA’s Interpretation Professional Advisory Committee (IPAC) and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania’s Language Monitoring and Evaluation Team (MET)\, and is a founding member of I-LEAD\, the International Language\, Equity and Accessibility Drivers.\n \nA Stanford University graduate with degrees in Broadcast Journalism\, and Spanish and Portuguese\, she has also worked and completed post-graduate studies abroad in Argentina and Moscow.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar: Universality in the Small-Dispersion Limit of the Benjamin-Ono Equation
DESCRIPTION:This talk concerns the Benjamin-Ono (BO) equation of internal wave theory\, and properties of the solution of the Cauchy initial-value problem in the situation that the initial data is fixed but the coefficient of the nonlocal dispersive term in the equation is allowed to tend to zero (i.e.\, the zero-dispersion limit). It is well-known that existence of a limit requires the weak topology because high-frequency oscillations appear even though they are not present in the initial data. Physically\, this phenomenon corresponds to the generation of a dispersive shock wave. In the setting of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation\, it has been shown that dispersive shock waves exhibit a universal form independent of initial data near the two edges of the dispersive shock wave\, and also near the gradient catastrophe point for the inviscid Burgers equation from which the shock wave forms. In this talk\, we will present corresponding universality results for the BO equation. These have quite a different character than in the KdV case\; while for KdV one has universal wave profiles expressed in terms of solutions of Painlevé-type equations\, for BO one instead has expressions in terms of classical Airy functions and Pearcey integrals. These results are proved for general rational initial data using a new approach based on an explicit formula for the solution of the Cauchy problem for BO. This is joint work with Elliot Blackstone\, Louise Gassot\, Patrick Gérard\, and Matthew Mitchell.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: The Bruhat-Chevalley Order
DESCRIPTION:Let G be a connected reductive group and B be a Borel subgroup. The Bruhat decomposition of G expresses G as a disjoint union of double cosets BwB\, where w lies in the Weyl group W. We can ask when BwB is contained in the (Zariski) closure of Bw'B. Chevalley gave a combinatorial criterion to this in terms of w and w'. In this talk we will discuss this criterion and give some examples. If time permits we will give a rough sketch of a proof.\n\nThis talk will be based on Chevalley’s paper “Sur les Décompositions Cellulaires des Espaces G/B.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Satellite Microwave Remote Sensing of the Earth and Multiple Scattering of Waves
DESCRIPTION:Leung Tsang has been named the Robert J. Hiller Professor of Engineering. A reception will immediately follow the talk.\n\nSatellite microwave remote sensing has been used for monitoring the Earth’s resources and global climate changes. In this talk\, I will describe the remote sensing of snow water equivalent\, the polar ice sheets\, soil moisture\, and vegetation/forests. For remote sensing of snow water equivalent\, the proposed missions are Snow Globe and TSMM. For cryosphere properties\, the proposed mission of CyroRad/PolarRad can be used to retrieve firn properties\, subsurface temperature profiles\, and aquifer properties. For remote sensing of soil moisture and vegetation/forests\, the SMAP and NISAR are satellite missions with passive and active sensors respectively. I developed electromagnetic models of layered media\, dense media\, rough surfaces\, vegetation and forests that are used for data analyses and retrieval algorithms. Recent emphases of electromagnetic models of remote sensing are on fast full wave simulations\, combining multiple scattering theory and computational electromagnetics. I have also adapted the approach to multiple scattering problems in photonic crystals\n\nBio\n\nLeung Tsang is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. His research has been in Satellite Microwave Remote Sensing of the Earth and the Multiple Scattering of Waves. He has made contributions to electromagnetic models of waves in dense media for scattering by snow\, rough surface scattering by soil surfaces\, radiative transfer and full wave simulations of vegetation and forests. The models form the bases of remote sensing data analyses\, parameter retrieval algorithms and designs of satellite remote sensing measurements. He has applied the approach of multiple scattering of waves also to scattering problems in printed circuit board and photonic crystals\nLeung Tsang received his BS\, MS and PhD from MIT. He joined the University of Michigan in January 2015. He was a Professor at the University of Washington from 1983-2014 and was the Chair of the UWEE Department in 2006-2011. In 2001-2004\, he was on leave at the Department of Electronic Engineering of the City University of Hong Kong. Leung Tsang is the lead author of 4 books: ‘Theory of Microwave Remote Sensing” and the 3 volumes of Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves’. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing (1996-2000)\, the President of IEEE-GRSS (2006-2007). Since 2008\, he has been the Chair of the PIERS Symposium. He received the Distinguished Achievement Award from IEEE-GRSS in 2008\, the Golden Florin Award in 2010\, the William Pecora Award co-sponsored by USGS and NASA in 2012\, the IEEE Electromagnetics Award in 2013 and the Van de Hulst Light Scattering Award in 2018. He is a Fellow of IEEE\, a Fellow of OPTICA\, a Fellow of the Electromagnetics Academy\, a member of the Washington State Academy of Science and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Jasquelin Peña\, UC Davis
DESCRIPTION:The oxidation and reduction of manganese underpin numerous processes\, from photosynthesis and defense against oxidative stress to the biogeochemical cycling of trace metals and organic matter. Microbial manganese oxidation\, which typically leads the formation of MnO 2 (s)\, was documented more than a century ago. However\, its physiological function remains elusive. Also lacking is knowledge of the factors that control the regulation and transcription of the enzymes leading to manganese biomineralization. In this talk I will present a novel reporter gene fusion system that we developed to study the activation of the genes encoding two manganese oxidases in the common bacterium\, Pseudomonas putida GB-1. This system has enabled the first temporally and spatially resolved analysis of manganese oxidase promoter activation at the single cell level and ability to correlate gene activation with mineral precipitation across a range of environmental conditions. The mechanism of manganese biomineralization that emerges is one regulated at the population-level and not at the single cell level. Further\, the two manganese oxidases are regulated by specific chemical cues that expand the ecological niches for manganese biomineralization. This work provides a new framework to investigate how microbial communities orchestrate the extent\, location and timing of biogeochemical transformations\, while providing new insights on the interface between life and minerals.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Coming of Age in Macholand: Masculinity\, Sexuality\, and Transnationality in Post-Conflict Punjab
DESCRIPTION:In Indian Punjab\, a culture dominated almost entirely by men\, learning to become a man is a process fraught with violence. Disillusioned by lofty promises for power and control\, Gill’s research shows how Punjabi men contend with patriarchy: by submitting to it\, by attempting to transgress it\, by migrating away from it\, or by coming undone by it. Based on long-term ethnographic research in and around Punjab\, and its capital city Chandigarh\, Gill offers a deeper insight into the worlds of middle-class Punjabi men and how they come of age. On one hand\, masculinity is produced through pervasive patriarchal violence\, on the other\, it’s underlined with intimacy and tenderness men express freely towards each other without the fear of homophobic ridicule. Gill’s research posits an indictment of patriarchy as a system that not only oppresses women but also constricts men’s choices regarding their intimate and sexual lives. Whereas outward transnational migration from Punjab is historically understood through frameworks of political persecution and economic desperation\, Gill’s considers male migration as gendered phenomenon by exploring how migration offers a strategy for evading patriarchal responsibilities as well as examining how male migration reconfigures the lives of those who are left behind. Gill concludes by making a convincing argument for why men everywhere (including in hyper-patriarchal Punjab) must divest from patriarchy if they don’t wish for their lives to be defined by relentless conflict and violence.\n   \n   Harjant Gill is professor of anthropology at Towson University. His research examines the intersections of masculinity\, modernity\, transnational migration\, and popular culture in India. Gill is also an award-winning filmmaker and has made several ethnographic films that have screened at international film festivals and on television channels worldwide including BBC World News\, Doordarshan (Indian National TV) and PBS. Gill is also the recipient of the Point Foundation Scholarship\, Fulbright-Nehru Research Fellowship\, American Institute of Indian Studies Performing Arts Fellowship\, the Institute for Citizens & Scholars' Career Enhancement Fellowship\, and the Whiting Foundation Public Engagement Fellowship. He is also the current president of Society for Visual Anthropology.\n   \n   *Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.*\n\nFree and open to the public

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR    Higher rank lattice actions on manifold with positive entropy
DESCRIPTION:Higher rank lattices\, for instance\, SLnZ with n greater than 2\, are expected to be rigid in many cases. In this talk\, we will discuss about actions on manifolds by higher rank lattices under the dynamical assumption (existence of positive (topological) entropy element). We will focus on\, how\, under certain assumptions\, one can obtain information about the action group. We will also see that how one can obtain ‘’homogeneous'' structure of the manifold from the dynamics.\nThe talk is based on a joint work with Aaron Brown.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:History\, Mamluk Metalware and Ancient Textiles from Ethiopia
DESCRIPTION:Despite standing between 2\,000m and 3\,000m above sea level\, Ethiopia’s strategic position at the mouth of the Red Sea has long provided it with access to the cultures of the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean worlds. Excavations in the ancient capital of Aksum trace the origins of the Aksumite dynasty to the 2nd century B.C. The Aksumites were preceded at least from the 8th century B.C. by an indigenous culture which ran parallel to a successful colonial or emigre community of Sabeans who came from directly across the Red Sea in Yemen. The Sabeans brought with them their written language\, for which epigraphic evidence is not lacking. The Aksumites used Ge’ez\, an independent subgroup of the Semitic languages\, known from epigraphic inscriptions to have been fully developed by the 3rd century A.D. The royal court adopted Christianity along with other kingdoms situated on the periphery of the Byzantine Empire\, shortly before the Conversion of Constantine in the second quarter of the 4th century. The Garima Gospels\, recently attributed to the 5th-7th c. A.D.\, are among the earliest\, if not the earliest extant translations of the Greek Bible. Sitting squarely on the maritime trade route between Rome\, Persia\, India and points east\, this highland stronghold was the recipient of cultural and technological developments from both directions\; its religions\, of which Christianity became the most dominant\, arrived from the Eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea regions\, while significant aspects of material culture were carried by the trade winds across the Indian Ocean\, particularly from the Subcontinent itself. Due largely to its geographic position\, Ethiopia belongs neither to the East nor to the West but has developed over the millennia as a unique socio-political entity that is very different from its neighbors in Egypt\, Sudan\, Somalia\, and Arabia. This presentation will focus on its global connections across time and space\, with particular reference to the imported textiles that appear on the inner book boards of some Christian manuscripts and Mamluk metalware used during religious ceremonies.\n\nMichael Gervers is trained as a Western medievalist (B.A. Princeton\; PhD University of Toronto) with particular interests in charters and material cultural. As an M.A. student at the Centre d’études supérieures de civilization médiévale at the Université de Poitiers\, he excavated the rock-hewn church of St. Georges below the village of Gurat in the French Aquitaine.
