During his first years of adolescence\, Muzamil grows up like other children\, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19\, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.\n\nFilm Facts & Background:\nSince few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956\, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\,  the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Vascular-targeted Nanoparticles to Protect the Endothelium from Immune-mediated Injury
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In solid organ transplantation\, the host immune system acts to reject the transplanted graft. This process is facilitated at the graft endothelial surface\, where inflamed endothelial cells (ECs) upregulate adhesion molecules and recruit effector cells of the host immune system. To combat this dysfunctional inflammation locally and with more impact than globally administered therapies\, anti-inflammatory agents can be administered directly to the graft endothelium. We have designed a strategy for local and sustained delivery of these agents using molecularly-targeted polymer nanoparticles (NPs) during a period of ex vivo normothermic machine perfusion (EVNMP) of the organ. I will present several approaches for therapeutic delivery using polymeric NPs as well as strategies to direct NPs using molecular targets to the ECs of interest. We have discovered that rapid accumulation of NPs on ECs relies on both the density and accessibility of the potential ligands\, and that these parameters can be measured directly in the relevant human vessel setting. The experiments we have conducted within these platforms are being used to develop a high throughput preclinical approach to optimize immune therapy for local and robust treatment in human organ transplant.\n\nBio: I joined the faculty at Villanova University in the fall of 2022 in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. I am continuing my research into NP-based therapeutic delivery to human vasculature and integrating these strategies with tissue-engineering to create tools for long-term immune modulation. Specifically\, materials that provide support for tissue regrowth while temporarily inhibiting inflammation-related injury\, thus reducing the burden of chronic inflammation. My work presented here today was done as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Biomedical Engineering at Yale University as part of Dr. W. Mark Saltzman’s research group. In my graduate work\, I developed vascular\, tissue engineered constructs using a combination of biological and synthetic materials at the University of Maryland with Dr. John Fisher in Bioengineering.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:‘You Feel it in Your Bones’: Mobility\, Animacy\, and Incarceration in the United States
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I explore the ways in which incarcerated people center mobility in conceptualizing what counts as alive and human. I draw on ethnographic research that I conducted between 2016 and 2017 at the Desert Echo Facility (pseudonym)\, a state prison in the American Southwest that holds individuals from minimum to high-security levels. Some incarcerated people feel supposedly inanimate objects\, such as walls and floors\, moving\, while others feel vibrations moving across the compound. For many of the incarcerated\, physical movement signifies aliveness – meaning that incarceration forces them to question if they are less alive than the “inanimate” materials that confine them. Others understand these movements as the direct violence of the state that represent purposeful disruptions to the ways they construct relations. In this context\, incarcerated peoples’ alive status is no longer a given and their relations no longer assumed to be inherent and ongoing\, but rather\, processes to be negotiated within criminal punishment systems. I focus on what these movements mean to incarcerated people\, and how they situate these movements within often competing ontological frameworks informed by histories of and ongoing settler violence in what came to be known as the United States. \n\nContent warning: There are examples of physical violence\, carceral trauma\, and feelings of self-harm in this presentation.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nDr. Macario Garcia is a cultural anthropologist with a focus on mobility\, animacy\, incarceration\, and prison-industrial complex abolition. They earned their PhD from the University of Virginia and MA degrees from University of Virginia and American Public University. They are currently partnering with incarcerated people to create maps of carceral migration in the United States and to document oral histories across correctional landscapes.

SUMMARY:Other:Enhanced Vibrational Spectroscopy – The Surface is Everything
DESCRIPTION:Surface-sensitive vibrational spectroscopic techniques rely on molecular interactions with relevant interfaces. For instance\, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) requires that molecules interact with the metal surface at short distances of 2 nm or less without disrupting the surface atoms. In this presentation\, anisotropic nanostructures such as gold nanostars will be used in conjunction with SERS to detect trace molecules. Two challenges and approaches to better predict structure-function behavior of noble metal nanoparticles will be discussed. A combination of experimental measurements that provide molecular-level insight coupled with semi-empirical modeling will be shown to improve the systematic use of gold nanostars by providing a method for predicting the stability and hence\, the fate of nanomaterials in various environmental conditions. After these considerations\, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy and SERS will be exploited for the direct\, qualitative and quantitative detection of small biologically relevant molecules. In the future\, these results could be expanded for different nanomaterial shapes\, compositions\, and molecular targets.\nAmanda Haes (University of Iowa)
