SUMMARY:Exhibition:Connections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition
DESCRIPTION:Connections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project\, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some\, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration\, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.\n\nMartín Vargas\, artist and curator of this exhibition\, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work\, but also during select Art Lab studio hours\, which will feature several of the artists working in person.\n\nConnections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The exhibition is curated by Martín Vargas\, Vanessa Mayesky\, Scott Tompkins\, Nico Slowik\, Kimiko Uyeda\, and Jenna VanFleteren.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture Series. The Role of Strategic Ignorance in Indonesian Agrarian Development
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Register at https://myumi.ch/dOmrB\n\nThe relationship between knowledge and power in agrarian development projects has been widely acknowledged\, but what about the relationship between ignorance and power? Through analysis of Indonesia’s peatland development over the past three decades\, this talk considers how state officials\, scientists\, and corporations have deployed ignorance strategically as a means to land access and control. Drawing on long-term fieldwork in Central Kalimantan\, Indonesia\, Professor Goldstein look specifically at an area called the Mega Rice Project\, a peat swamp forest that was drained for rice production in the mid-1990s and has since undergone dramatic biophysical transformation as the peat burns and releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Since 2000\, this area has been the site of various state and NGO interventions to repair the landscape\, most of which have been deemed failures. She argues that through these peatland development projects\, elite actors have generated passive and active ignorance in ways that serve to protect the developmental status quo.\n   \nJenny Goldstein is an assistant professor in the Department of Global Development at Cornell University. She has a Ph.D. in geography from UCLA and works across political ecology\, critical development studies\, and science and technology studies. She has been conducting qualitative fieldwork in Indonesia since 2010 on the political economy of socio-ecological land use change and the politics of climate change knowledge. Other research interests include the human health impacts of ecological change and the role of digital infrastructures in environmental governance. Her recent articles have been published in *Antipode*\, *Environment and Planning E*\, *Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography*\, and *Geoforum*. She is also the co-editor of the forthcoming book *The Nature of Data: Infrastructures\, Environments\, Politics* (University of Nebraska Press\, 2022) and is currently working on a book project about the role of ignorance and uncertainty in Indonesia’s peatland development and restoration.\n\n---\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact cseas@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Burn It Down!: The Un/Making of Knowledge and Power
DESCRIPTION:Format: This is a hybrid event. Attend in person in 1014 Tisch Hall (no registration required) or stream via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/z1VQA\n\nNationalism uses mythology to bind together different peoples and ideals under a national identity. The mythos requires meaning-making\, differentiating between acceptable and transgressive\, and creating knowledge that can be passed down to maintain and sustain the national identity as canon: it is a foundation. But when the foundation of the mythology is damaged\, harmful\, or fabricated\, the threads of knowledge passed down construct an unsustainable home. When the walls of this mythology keep and parcel out those who are\, in essence\, included in the floorplan of the nation\, burning the house down may be the only logical form of recovery. Rather than a dissolutionary extreme\, Professor Padilla Peralta and other Greco-Roman Classicists of color envision\, like bell hooks\, a whole new homeplace of yearning and resistance. Therefore\, policy and politics of presence\, not absence\, define pathways forward.\n\nThis Eisenberg Institute panel features papers that interrogate disciplines and their canonical and institutional systems of knowledge in the fields of Greco-Egyptian religion\, medieval England\, eighteenth-century Russia\, and American colonial Philippines.\n\nPanelists:\n• Megan Behrend (PhD Candidate\, English Language and Literature\, University of Michigan)\n• Robert Diaz (PhD Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\n• Dora Gao (PhD Student\, Ancient History\, University of Michigan)\n• Forrest Holden (PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan)\n• Ian S. Moyer (moderator\; Associate Professor\, History\, University of Michigan)\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:Livestream / Virtual:Masculine Ideals and Dress in New Kingdom Elite Tombs
DESCRIPTION:This presentation seeks to explore the relationship between New Kingdom Egyptian masculine ideals and the types of dress used to express said ideals in the funerary context.  One method to assess and better understand the Egyptian concept of gender is through the dress of the individuals. Dress has long been understood as a key expression of identity\, especially gender norms. This is especially true since dress is often the first layer of an individual’s identity experienced in social interactions—be it between two individuals meeting for the first time or a modern viewer of a tomb scene. Through an investigation of a few case studies\, I will argue that there is no single masculinity for the New Kingdom elite male. As I will show\, we can see multiple\, overlapping identities being depicted. The contexts in which the tomb owner either dons a kilt or is enrobed in a tunic differs depending on scene type and\, more importantly\, the type of masculinity wishing to be expressed. This presentation will explore the juxtaposition of both of these iterations of masculinity and their function in elite male identity formation and negotiation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Museums at Noon
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, Cody Thompson and Kendra Phelps will discuss their article\, “Preserve a Voucher Specimen! The Critical Need for Integrating Natural History Collections in Infectious Disease Studies\,” published in January 2021. With COVID-19 as an example of the failed merger of host-pathogen research with collections-based biodiversity science\, the paper reviews past cases of successful integration of museum collections with emerging infectious disease research (e.g.\, hantaviruses\, yellow fever\, parasites).  The research concludes with recommendations for how public health agencies and the microbiology community can integrate their research efforts with museums using a One Health framework.\nAdditional details and registration can be found here: http://ummsp.rackham.umich.edu/tribe-event/natural-history-collections-and-pandemic-preparedness/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NMR and bioinformatic approaches to understanding how intrinsically disordered proteins modulate biomolecular condensates
DESCRIPTION:The role of biomolecular condensates in regulating biological function and the importance of dynamic interactions involving intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDRs) in their assembly are increasingly appreciated. Elucidating the critical interactions that govern condensation via phase separation is challenging due to the lack of applicability of standard structural biological tools to study these highly dynamic large-scale associated states and the lack of applicability of standard bioinformatic tools to study low complexity sequences that are not easily alignable. Using the C-terminal IDR (607 to 709) of CAPRIN1\, an RNA-binding protein found in cytoplasmic biomolecular condensates\, we have applied NMR methods developed by Lewis Kay to obtain site-specific information on key interactions that control phase separation and on the modulation of phase separation by post-translational modifications and ATP. We have developed\, with Alan Moses\, a bioinformatics approach for IDRs that does not require alignments and that identifies conserved molecular features (such as biophysical properties)\, termed “evolutionary signatures.” Groups of IDRs with similar evolutionary signatures are highly enriched for functional annotations and phenotypes\, including clusters that are strongly linked to particular biomolecular condensates. We can utilize a feature-based approach to understand the types of interactions within specific condensates and how disease mutations that perturb conserved features may drive pathology. We also developed a new phase separation predictive tool based on sequence statistics for different physicochemical interactions within the folded protein database that provides insights into the key interactions underlying condensates. These experimental and computational methods should enable deeper understanding of how IDRs contribute to biological regulation via biomolecular condensates.
