SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Speak Politely to the Ancestors: Gender and Moral Community in Southeastern Africa's Second Millennium CE
DESCRIPTION:In the ninth-century South African Highveld\, Nguni-speakers lost their ancestors. They would spend nearly a millennium seeking new ones and appeasing them by teaching young men and women to speak and act with modesty. As they did\, Nguni-speakers crafted an evolving politics of gender in which the ability to behave politely brought social connections and economic opportunities. Against European and African accounts that reduce modesty to a lever for women’s oppression\, this talk asks what happens to our understanding of power and alterity when men and women perform gender in the same way\, and when some cannot perform gender at all. \n\nRaevin Jimenez is an assistant professor of history at the University of Michigan. Professor Jimenez specializes in the interdisciplinary study of Africa’s distant past with an emphasis on language\, orality\, and materiality. Her current work traces the role of gender as concept and practice across the precolonial history of South Africa.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Presentation:MICDE Ph.D. Student Seminar: Xingmin Wang
DESCRIPTION:Topic: *Traffic signal optimization with connected vehicle trajectories*\n\nTraffic signal retiming is one of the most cost-effective methods for reducing congestion and energy consumption in urban areas based on the existing road infrastructure. However\, high installation and maintenance costs of vehicle detectors have prevented the widespread implementation of adaptive traffic control systems (ATSC). Therefore\, most intersections are still controlled by fixed-time traffic signals which are not updated regularly due to the lack of traffic monitoring capabilities. In the past few years\, vehicle trajectory data has become increasingly available and offers many advantages over detectors and other infrastructure-based sensors for traffic monitoring\; but using such data for automatic traffic signal diagnosis and optimization at scalable implementable levels is relatively unexplored. To fill this gap\, this work proposes Optimizing Traffic Signals as a Service (OSaaS)\, an integrated traffic signal re-timing system that uses vehicle trajectories as the main input. OSaaS addresses many of the current challenges relating to signal retiming with trajectory data such as incomplete observation due to limited penetration rates. The system builds a queueing model that reconstructs the overall average traffic state\, calibrated from performance measurements directly obtained from vehicle trajectories. The calibrated queueing model then predicts and evaluates network performance under different traffic signal parameters to provide diagnostics and direct traffic signal retiming guidance. In April 2022\, a citywide field test of OSaaS was conducted in Birmingham\, Michigan\, with 34 signalized intersections. This resulted in decreases in both the delay and number of stops by up to 20% and 30%\, respectively. OSaaS provides a more scalable\, sustainable\, resilient\, and efficient solution to traffic signal retiming without requiring any additional infrastructure through the exclusive utilization of currently available trajectory data. As a result\, it presents the possibility of upgrading all existing fixed-time traffic signals to dynamic systems with periodical parameter updates\, something that is not currently possible without significant investments in infrastructure-based traffic flow sensors.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student DGT - Geodesics in the Space of Kahler Potentials - Part 2
DESCRIPTION:In this second talk of a two part sequence\, we will continue discussing the geometry of the space of Kähler potentials on a compact manifold. In particular\, we will see how Hamiltonian flows defined by the Cauchy data can give solutions to the geodesic equation in this space. The talk will be self-contained and we will review necessary results from the previous talk in the beginning.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar. Carceral Theology in Post-2013 Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Please register for this Zoom workshop at https://myumi.ch/x7myj\n\nIn the years following the military coup in Egypt\, there has been a dramatic upsurge in the state’s carceral practices. Indeed\, political prisons in Egypt serve a central role in the state’s organization of both political and religious life through its disciplinary power. The carceral experience\, however\, is as generative as it is disciplinary. Still\, studies on prisoners’ political and religious lives continue to be analyzed through the wider rubric of the ‘War on Terror’. In this paper\, I show that\, beyond securitized narratives on prison population\, the religious experiences of prisoners are intrinsic foremost to their personhood\, formations of popular theology and hermeneutics\, and even to ethereal beliefs. Muslim prisoners are regularly confronted with issues that are unique to their situation – such as maintaining ritual purity when there is little access to clean water\, maintaining communal prayers in isolation or discerning prayer times and Qibla when knowledge of time and space is unattainable. In doing so\, I pose a central question: what does the adaption of religious practices and popular carceral theologies indicate about religious subjectivities and intersubjectivities of the prison population?\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.
