SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"I have a crisis for you\": Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War
DESCRIPTION:An exhibit curated by Grace Mahoney and Jessica Zychowicz\nFeaturing work by Kinder Album\, JT Blatty\, Oksana Briukhovetska (MFA\, Stamps School of Art and Design)\, Oksana Kazmina\, Sonya Hukaylo\, Svetlana Lavochkina\, Kateryna Lisovenko\, and Lyuba Yakimchuk.\n\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\n204 South State Street\n\nAbout the exhibit:\nIn February 2022\, the world witnessed the invasion of Ukraine and all-out war of aggression by the Russian Federation. Since this time\, massive casualties\, human rights violations\, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing\, illustrate in bomb shelters\, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document\, create\, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful\, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.\n\nCurated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz\, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna)\, \"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War\" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters\, photographers\, filmmakers\, poets\, translators\, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war\, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east. \n\nThe featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:\n\n“— our love’s gone missing\, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis\,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”\n\nLike in Yakimchuk’s poem\, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine\, juxtapose\, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships\, the workings interior lives\, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship. \n\nThe exhibit will be accompanied by a companion website which includes an expanded set of informational and aid-related resources. \n\n\"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War\" is hosted by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies with co-sponsorship from the Center for Russian\, East European & Eurasian Studies\, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures\, the Museum Studies Program\, the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.\n\nRelated Events:\n\nOpening Reception with comments by the curators\n4:00-6:00 pm ET\, Thursday\, September 15th\, 2022\nLane Hall\n\nArtists’ Roundtable (Hybrid)\n3:30-5:00pm ET\, Friday\, September 16th\, 2022\nWeiser Hall\, 1010\n\n*U-M classes may schedule visits outside of regular gallery hours by emailing LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Exhibition:To Be Heard: \"Pressed Against My Own Glass\" Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:To Be Heard at the University of Michigan is a public mural project and exhibition by Brooklyn-based street artist\, painter\, and activist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh. \n\nThe exhibition* Pressed Against My Own Glass* will be installed in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. In this multimedia installation on Black womanhood within the home space\, Fazlalizadeh explores her childhood and adulthood within the domestic space and how it connects to the experiences of other Black women and those who had a girlhood. Using paintings\, drawings\, video\, and reappropriated home objects\, she examines her experiences of joy\, rest\, sadness\, and fellowship in the home. While doing so\, she makes connections to her Black women peers\, even those like Breonna Taylor and Atatiana Jefferson who show how racist violence is a threat to Black women even in their homes.\n\nAbout the Public Mural Project:\n\n*To Be Heard*\, public mural project\, September 28-October 16\, 2022. Locations: Angell Hall\, Trotter Multicultural Center\, Modern Languages Building\, Shapiro Library.\n\nThe public mural component utilizes community engagement\, public art\, and social practice to listen to and amplify the voices of marginalized groups\, particularly women and non-white students at the University of Michigan. Through class workshops and interviews\, Fazlalizadeh will engage with Black and brown\, queer\, and women-identified students on the ways that they experience race and gender on campus\, exploring how students are treated based on their identities. The engagement will culminate in public art installation across campus using drawings and photos to present the experiences and stories from these students back to the public.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Predictive analysis and deep learning of functional MRI in Alzheimer's disease
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAlzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia pose a significant burden to individuals and public health. AD is expected to grow in prevalence in the coming decades due to the aging population. Brain atrophy is a major component of AD pathology and can occur before symptoms of cognitive impairment. However\, pathological brain atrophy and symptoms of cognitive impairment may be a result of many years of disease impacts. Evidence supports the need for early detection of impacted neurocircuitry to foresee future progression to advanced stages of AD and develop treatments. This dissertation examines predictive modeling and deep learning methods to identify brain-behavior relationships and learn low-dimensional representations of brain activity from MR imaging data. The dissertation and methods are separated into four parts.  \n\nPart one of this work examines multivariate analysis approaches applied to functional connectivity from subjects with an early clinical phenotype of AD\, mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A regression framework using partial least squares and feature selection demonstrated significant brain-behavior relationships with measures of cognition and memory. The results also confirm other findings that ecologically relevant task-based connectivity serves as a ``stress-test\" for memory-related deficits such as those observed in MCI. This approach elucidated brain regions that may be implicated in MCI and warrant future study (superior temporal gyrus\, inferior parietal lobule\, and superior frontal gyrus). Part two extends the multivariate analyses studied in part one to an additional brain imaging modality\, arterial spin labeling (ASL). Cerebral blood flow (CBF) as measured by ASL demonstrated brain-behavior relationships with composite measures of memory and learning in a cohort along the spectrum of AD\, demonstrating that CBF data warrant further investigation as a predictor in this application.\n\nParts three and four utilize a variational autoencoder (VAE) model\, a deep learning approach to encode latent representations that aim to disentangle sources of fMRI signal. A surface-based VAE trained on only healthy controls is shown to be generalizable to patients with known AD pathology. The results maintained individual separation and high input/decoder output spatial reconstruction correlation of r=0.8 across all three groups. Part four extended the surface-based model used in part three to a volumetric fMRI approach. Similarly to the surface-based model\, high reconstruction accuracy (NRMSE=0.68) and temporal correlation (r=0.8) between input and decoder output are demonstrated. This approach is more readily applicable to 3D fMRI data as compared to the surface-based model. \n\nIn summary\, this work has proposed and developed multivariate and deep learning analysis techniques for brain imaging data in the context of AD with the ultimate goal of improving detection and intervention for early pathological changes in the brain.\n\nZoom Link: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIpcOigrjIsHtJq_xJ1aboK1T0PdWpTkBP5\n*Registration Required\n\nCommittee Chair(s):\nDr. Scott J.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Brown Bag: Children's and adults' understanding and learning about genetic inheritance
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Genetic inheritance is a fundamental concept in biology\, as it is the mechanism for the transmission of traits. Therefore\, understanding genetic inheritance is pivotal for science education and biological reasoning. Prior work on children’s understanding of genetic inheritance suggests that children initially have a “mother bias” such that\, if parents have different traits\, children think that offspring will have the same trait as the mother rather than the father. However\, this pattern might be due to prior work only allowing children to select one possible offspring. In this presentation\, I will present two novel tasks to assess children's and adults' beliefs about inheritance. Using these tasks\, I show that even 4-year-old children have a more sophisticated understanding of inheritance than previously believed\, and that this understanding is constrained by different biases than those identified in prior work. I will also show how these biases are present for different traits and animals\, are resistant to instruction\, and persevere into adulthood. These new insights inform our understanding of children's biological reasoning and can be used to design new genetics lessons.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Journey of Self-Discovery
DESCRIPTION:To experience an interesting piece of art is to feel ALIVE. It propels one out of reality (for a moment) and transcends the spirit to a special place much like a spiritual awakening.\n\nI am interested in the creative process even more than the final product. The process of art making is therapeutic and one of self-discovery. It is a chance to play like a child and to allay fears/worries and to lose the confines of the world around you. It offers you a chance to dream\, dance and explore unknown worlds.\n\nThis exhibit is mainly focused on this creative process which I call the ‘Journey of Self-Discovery. Each painting has been created according to this process. Mindfulness is the goal.\n\nWe all see things from different angles based on our own individual experiences. I encourage you to look at things from your own perspective – each piece invites you to consider your own viewpoint\, a chance to let go and experience some unique personal other-worldly environments. Enjoy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What I Talk about when I Talk about Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Arabic is unconditionally the national language of Palestinians\, but for many it is no longer their mother-tongue. More than a century after the early waves of immigration to the Americas\, and more than seven decades after the Nakba of 48\, generations of Palestinians have grown up in a variety of different contexts within Israel-Palestine and the world at large. This ongoing scattered state has led to the proliferation of Palestinian culture as it is simultaneously growing in multiple directions\, depending on geographical\, political\, and lingual contextualization. The Palestinian story no longer exists exclusively in Arabic. A new generation of Palestinian and Palestinian-descended writers and artists from both Latin and North America\, Scandinavia\, and Europe at large\, as well as Israel-Palestine are bringing stories of their heritage and the Palestinian nation into a variety of languages such Spanish\, Italian\, English\, Danish\, and Hebrew—among so many other languages. \n\nIn this talk\, Maurice Ebileeni explores how the Palestinian homeland is being imagined in multiple languages from a variety of positions both locally and globally and wishes to discuss unsettling questions about this current situation. He also invites us to look to the future to speculate about how a Palestinian nation might still house the notion of home for an increasingly diverse Palestinian population.\n\n***********************************************\n\nMaurice Ebileeni is a member of faculty in the English department at the University of Haifa. He is the author of Conrad\, Faulkner\, and the Problem of Nonsense and Being There\, Being Here: Palestinian Writings in the World\, and his work on Palestinian literature and culture has appeared in Comparative Literature\, The Journal of Postcolonial Writing\, Interventions\, and Hebrew-language Ot\, among others.
