SUMMARY:Performance:Tony Furtado - Canceled
DESCRIPTION:New music from a roots instrumental master\n \nTony Furtado's banjo and slide guitar range over the entire landscape of American roots music. He puts together traditional string styles\, blues\, and rock into fusions that have a haunting quality yet seem perfectly natural. Equally at home as a solo act or as a collaborator\, Tony has played with musicians as diverse as Alison Krauss\, David Grisman\, Galactic\, Leftover Salmon\, and Widespread Panic. Lately he has focused his energy on songwriting. Says Paste: \"He mixes bluegrass roots with a mainstream pop streak\, easily holding the spotlight\, thanks to his restrained virtuosity on acoustic and slide guitar and a warmly engaging voice reminiscent of T Bone Burnett\, sans preachiness.\" All the music of America is in Tony Furtado's music\, and Relix hit the nail on the head when writing of Tony: “True talent doesn’t need categories.\" Tony comes to town with a new release\, \"Decembering\,” and it’s been too long since we’ve heard what he’s been up to creatively!\n\n\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/3997/3998 for more detail.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Early Astronomy in the University of Michigan Collections
DESCRIPTION:Trace how astronomy was developed\, studied\, and disseminated through the centuries\, from 1500 BCE to the Renaissance. On display is material drawn from the University of Michigan collections dealing with the history of early astronomy: manuscripts\, early printed books\, and artifacts illustrating Mesopotamian\, Greek\, Islamic\, and Western European astronomy.\n\nThis exhibit and its permanent online counterpart (https://umlib.us/earlyastronomy) are part of the Aratus Project\, which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and led by Prof. Francesca Schironi. The core of the project has been to study Aratus’ \"Phaenomena\,\" the most important poem on stars and constellations of the Graeco-Roman ancient world\, and its exegetical tradition. Read an annotated edition and English translation of \"Phaenomena\" and its commentaries (https://aratus.classics.lsa.umich.edu/). The physical and online exhibits place this research work within its later intellectual and historical context.\n\nCurated by: John Steele\, Professor of the History of the Exact Sciences in Antiquity\, Department of Egyptology and Assyriology\, Brown University\; Francesca Schironi\, U-M Professor of Classical Studies\; Evyn Kropf\, U-M Librarian for Middle Eastern & North African Studies\; Pablo Alvarez\, U-M Curator (Special Collections Research Center).\n\nCheck Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours: https://myumi.ch/2mx44

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Portraits of Feminism in Japan
DESCRIPTION:What is feminism in Japan? Rather than imagining it as a singular\, coherent object\, this exhibit seeks to introduce the diversity\, difference\, and complexity inherent in feminist activism in Japan. As in other cultural contexts\, “feminism” in Japan can invoke sharply different associations\, from office workers trying to reshape taken-for-granted structures of power and authority\, to mothers advocating for safer school lunches after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disasters\, and queer couples seeking legal recognition for the families they have created. Mainstream feminist activism in Japan has focused on advocating for change in families\, workplaces\, schools\, political institutions\, and laws\, among many other contexts. Many ­– but certainly not all – feminist activists in Japan are also responding to the lasting legacies of Japanese colonial projects\, working toward recognition\, repair\, and meaningful reparations for racial and gender-based violence that continue to impact communities disproportionately.\n\nThis exhibit features original portraits of feminists who have shaped the landscape of women's and gender rights in Japan and beyond. Created by nine contemporary artists in Japan and the United States\, the portraits and accompanying texts challenge simplistic understandings of \"feminism\" while also drawing attention to a diversity of experiences\, needs\, and activism within Japan. This exhibit also spotlights the history of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan in conjunction with the Center for Japanese Studies' 75th anniversary celebration. \n\n“Portraits of Feminism in Japan” is open for viewing M-F 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.\n\nFeatured artists:\nElaine Cromie\, JenClare B.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MORE (FACULTY) Session: Getting Your Mentoring Relationship Off to a Good Start
DESCRIPTION:This workshop helps enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor by facilitating the development of shared expectations. Mentors and mentees work independently in separate sessions to identify their own objectives and styles\, and consider strategies for dealing with possible challenges. Then\, student-faculty pairs work together to develop a written mentoring plan as a means of codifying some of the most important elements (needs\, goals\, mutual expectations) of a two-way mentoring relationship. Over 82 percent of Rackham doctoral students who have written mentoring plans report those plans to be useful.\nFaculty who have attended a MORE workshop in the previous academic year should feel free to join the workshop only for the student-faculty work together (the last hour of the workshop). Registration is still required of both the faculty and the student.\nPart I\, Faculty Only and Student Only Sessions: 9:30 to 11:00 a.m.\nPart II\, Faculty and Student Joint Session\, 11:10 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.\nPart III\, Optional Additional One-on-One Time\, 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.\nSeparate registration for students is available at: https://myumi.ch/w771W

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: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:Presentation:Affordance-grounded Robot Perception and Manipulation in Adversarial\, Translucent\, and Cluttered Environments
DESCRIPTION:Chair: Chad Jenkins\n\nAbstract: \nRobots in the future need to work in natural scenarios and finish a variety of tasks without much supervision from humans. To achieve this goal\, we want the robots to perform perception and action robustly and adaptively in unstructured environments. For example\, robots are expected to correctly perceive objects in unseen cases\, such as dark environments\, heavy clutters or transparent materials. Besides\, they should learn skills that are transferable across novel objects in categories rather than fixed on known instances. In this dissertation\, we focus on the problem of perceiving and manipulating various objects in complex adversarial environments. Specifically\, we explore on three aspects including robustness to adversarial environments\, synergistic perception and action\, and scalable data-driven perception pipelines for customized settings.\n\nFirst\, we explore the possibility to achieve robustness for object pose estimation algorithms against environmental changes\, like object occlusions and lighting changes. We contribute a two-stage approach GRIP that combines both the discriminative power of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and robustness in probabilistic generative inference. Our results indicate that GRIP has better accuracy through comparison with end-to-end pose estimation baselines\, and efficacy in a grocery packing task in the dark scene.\n\nSecond\, we focus on how to generalize object representation to category-level with grounded affordance for task execution. We propose the Affordance Coordinate Frame (ACF) representation that enables direct connection between perception and executable action. Along with that\, an object part category-level scene perception pipeline is contributed to estimate ACFs in cluttered environments on novel objects. Our pipeline outperforms state-of-the-art methods for object detection\, as well as category-level pose estimation for object parts. We further demonstrate the applicability of ACF to robot manipulation tasks like grasping\, pouring and stirring.\n\nThird\, we contribute an annotation pipeline that enables large-scale dataset creation and benchmarking on transparent objects. The proposed ProgressLabeller pipeline has a multi-view annotation interface that allows fast and accurate pose annotation on RGB-D video streams. ProgressLabeller is proved to generate more accurate annotations in object pose estimation and grasping experiments. Using ProgressLabeller\, we contributed ClearPose as the first large-scale RGB-D transparent object dataset with various adversarial conditions such as lighting changes\, object clutters. ClearPose is made to support benchmarking of data-driven approaches on depth completion\, object pose estimation and robotic manipulation. Then\, we built an object pose estimation based manipulation framework\, TransNet\, for daily transparent objects. The system aims to generalize the pose estimation to unseen novel objects defined in several categories like wine cups and bottles. We finally demonstrate the efficacy of the system with robotic pick-and-place and pouring tasks\, paving the way for more complex manipulations such as table-setting and drink serving.\n\n Zoom password: 217944

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED: Institute for Social Change – Keynote: Community as a Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:5/5 UPDATE: Due to unforeseen circumstances\, this event has been cancelled.\nPlease join us for the Rackham Institute for Social Change Keynote with Dr. Lorgia García Peña! During this talk\, Dr. García Peña will discuss community building and public scholarship by focusing on her book Community as Rebellion.\nCommunity as Rebellion offers a meditation on creating liberatory spaces for students and faculty of color within academia. García Peña argues that the classroom is key to freedom-making in the university\, urging teachers to consider activism and social justice as central to what she calls “teaching in freedom”: a progressive form of collective learning that prioritizes the subjugated knowledge\, silenced histories\, and epistemologies from the Global South and Indigenous\, Black\, and brown communities. By teaching in and for freedom\, we not only acknowledge the harm that the university has inflicted on our persons and our ways of knowing since its inception\, but also create alternative ways to be\, create\, live\, and succeed through our work.\nDr. Lorgia García-Peña is a writer\, activist\, and scholar who specializes in Latinx Studies with a focus on Black Latinidades. García-Peña received a Ph.D. in American Culture from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor and an M.A. in Latin American and Latino Literatures from Rutgers University. Currently\, she serves as the Mellon Professor and Chair of the Department in Studies of Race\, Colonialism and Diaspora at Tufts University.\nRegistration is required at myumi.ch/j7D6b.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event\, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time\, preferably one week\, to arrange for your requested accommodations or an effective alternative.
