SUMMARY:Exhibition:Family Secrets: Uncovering Identity in 19th-Century America
DESCRIPTION:This student-curated exhibit focuses on the theme of secrecy and how it has shaped our inquiry into how the family\, as an institution and an ideal at the heart of debates about American identity and national belonging\, has changed over time.\n\nThe materials gathered here represented various ways in which cultural concepts of family evolved in both public and private ways. \n\nPlease enter through the North Entrance (glass vestibule) that faces the Hatcher Graduate Library.\n\nCurated by: Grace Argo and the Students of History 195\, Fall 2022\, with Maggie Vanderfold and Julie Fremuth at the Clements Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Humanize the Numbers
DESCRIPTION:Prison Creative Arts Project presents an exhibition of collaborative photography at the Detroit Historical Museum (5401 Woodward Ave. in Detroit)\, open now through May 21st.\n\nA public reception will be held on March 9th\, 6:00–9:00 PM\, with a panel of previous workshop participants at 7:00 PM.\n\nWe hope you will be able to see the exhibit\, and please be in touch if you have any questions.\n\nHumanize the Numbers shows the perspectives of men in Michigan prisons. The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name\, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height\, weight\, etc. In the process\, their humanity is denied.\n\nThis exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so\, those in prison reclaim their humanity.\n\nMuseum hours\nThursdays–Saturdays: 10:00 AM–5:00PM \nSundays: 1:00–5:00 PM

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Openings: Title Pages in the History of Printed Books
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit explores the creativity and utility of an essential part of practically every modern book\, the title page. Such pages signal and inform\, incite pleasure and intrigue\, as well as conceal and mislead. The works shown here from the holdings of the University of Michigan Library illuminate critical moments in the history of books. Students in a Fall 2022 History Lab class researched and created the exhibit.\n\nThe exhibit is available for viewing in the Special Collections Research Center (on the sixth floor of the Hatcher Library)\, Monday-Friday\, 10am-4:30pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sense of Self: The Islamic Contemporary
DESCRIPTION:Despite recent panels and scholarship aiming to dispel the notion\, there is a conception that contemporary art and religion are incompatible. \n\nWhen paired with the Islamophobic sentiment that Islam is destructive\, rather than constructive like artistic practices and that it even forbids many forms of artistic production\, there is a presumption that contemporary art that engages with Islam as religion and faith (rather than simply as identity) cannot exist. \n\nThere is an additional assumption that those who identify as women\, queer\, trans\, and non-binary are unlikely to engage with Islam in their work outside of critique\, because of the belief that Islam is inherently (and uniquely) oppressive of and therefore contradictory to individuals who identify as such. \n\nIn an attempt to disabuse viewers of these notions\, as well as give a space of exploration to these often overlooked or excluded voices\, this exhibition brings together women\, queer\, trans\, and non-binary Muslim artists who explore their connection to religion\, their other identities (be those related to their race\, ethnicity\, gender\, sexuality\, or status as artists)\, and their practices.\n\nParticipating Artists:\nNour Ballout\nYasmine Diaz\nArshia Fatima Haq\nYasmine Kasem\nManal Shoukair\nSaba Taj

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Richard Samworth\, Professor of Statistical Science\, Director of Statistical Laboratory\, University of Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In clinical trials and other applications\, we often see regions of the feature space that appear to exhibit interesting behaviour\, but these observed phenomena may not reflected at the population level. Focusing on a regression setting\, we consider the subgroup selection challenge of identifying a region of the feature space on which the regression function exceeds a pre-determined threshold. We formulate the problem as one of constrained optimisation\, where we seek a low-complexity\, data-dependent selection set on which\, with a guaranteed probability\, the regression function is uniformly at least as large as the threshold\; subject to this constraint\, we would like the region to contain as much mass under the marginal feature distribution as possible. This leads to a natural notion of regret\, and we determine the minimax optimal rate for this regret in both the sample size and the Type I error probability. The rate involves a delicate interplay between the different problem parameters. Finally\, we expand the scope of our previous results by illustrating how they may be generalised to a treatment and control setting\, where interest lies in the heterogeneous treatment effect.\n\nhttps://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~rjs57/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:UN/EARTH
DESCRIPTION:Featuring work by Gina Gibson\, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

SUMMARY:Other:A Splash of Microbe Science
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays–Sundays\n11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.\nAges: 5 and up\n\nMicroorganisms\, or microscopic organisms\, live where no other life can live- like at the bottom of the ocean\, in geysers\, and in the Dead Sea.  But did you know your local ponds are also teeming with microbial life?  Roll up your sleeves and prepare to look at these pond water microbes using a microscope.  What types of microbes live in ponds\, and what purpose do they serve?  Get ready to draw\, color\, and identify microbes in this hands-on activity.
