SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture. Fighting With the Heart of a Woman: The Voices of Women of Chiapas\, Mexico
DESCRIPTION:“Fighting With the Heart of a Woman: The situation and participation of women in Chiapas” (1995-2015) is a book that systematizes over 70 interviews of women activists in various groups\, collectives\, cooperatives\, social movements\, and civil associations or universities. \n    \nGabriela Rodriguez will discuss the testimonies these women shared as participants in collective/cooperative work\, the Zapatista movement\, and other spaces of struggle for gender equality and social justice. She will also talk about the current socio-political context in Mexico. \n\nGabriela Torres Rodríguez is fronteriza\, from a very small town in deep South Texas at the U.S.A.-México border. She is the daughter of two hard working parents that migrated to the United States from México in the late 1980s\, who now own and operate a small bakery in the borderlands\, specializing in the art of making Mexican sweet bread. \n    \nGaby is currently living and working as a human rights observer and defender in Chiapas\, México. She began her training with the Center for Human Rights Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas\, serving as a volunteer for a year. She is currently working with the International Service for Peace (SIPAZ)\, since April 2015.\n\nCo-sponsored by Latin America Task Force of the Interfaith Council for Peace & Justice (ICPJ) and Michigan Solidarity Network with Mexico (MSNM)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SoConDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Marjorie Herbert will speak on \"Mouthing\, Fingerspelling\, or Both?: Codeswitching and Lexical Borrowing in American Sign Language (ASL)\"\n\nAbstract\nAccording to Poplack (1980)\, the most common outcomes of language contact found among the bilingual communities of the world are code-switching\, code-mixing\, and lexical borrowing\, and the contact situation involving American Sign Language (ASL) and spoken English\; however\, it is complicated by the fact that the two languages in question are transmitted in different modalities. Thus\, the question of the representation of spoken English\, transmitted via the oral-aural modality\, in the visuo-spatial modality of ASL\, and vice versa\, poses a problem for their linguistic analysis. The focus of this abstract is one of these outcomes\, ‘fingerspelling’\, in which signers represent English words by spelling them via the manual alphabet\, in the congenitally d/Deaf community\, and its implications for theories of lexical borrowing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics
DESCRIPTION:The Fomin-Kirillov algebra is a quadratic algebra containing a certain commutative subalgebra isomorphic to the cohomology of the flag variety. In this talk\, we generalize the theory of Fomin-Kirillov algebras to the affine type A case. As a byproduct\, we obtain the affine Schubert polynomials\, polynomial representatives of the Schubert classes in the cohomology of the affine flag variety\, and the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for the affine Schubert polynomials.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Investigating Landscape Evolution and Geochemical Processes in Antarctica (and beyond) Using Remote Orbital Spectroscopy
DESCRIPTION:Satellite data are a valuable resource for investigating geologic and environmental processes\, particularly in remote areas where traditional field work is difficult or impossible.  In Antarctica\, ice-free geologic exposures are particularly difficult to access and study despite their importance for understanding polar processes\, climate variability\, and Antarctic geologic history.  Satellite observations of the Antarctic\, however\, require revised calibration and atmospheric removal techniques in order to compare these orbital data to data measured in the field or laboratories.  Since these methodologies were developed\, they have helped to revolutionize our understanding of the Antarctic.  Properties and processes ranging from magma differentiation to the distribution of algal communities can be investigated remotely in the Antarctic.  One such process\, the chemical alteration of rock surfaces under cold and dry environmental conditions\, can be directly related to processes occurring on the surface of Mars.  Our ongoing Mars research incorporates data collected by the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover to determine the similarities between weathering process on Earth and on Mars.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biophysics Seminar: Professor Justin Taraska\, Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Imaging\, NIH
DESCRIPTION:How does a network of interacting proteins work to accomplish a complex cellular function with extreme temporal and spatial precision?  The accumulation of a large body of knowledge over the last 50 years has paved the way to understanding the biology of the cell in amazing detail. While many molecules have been discovered\, their effects mapped by genetics and mutational analysis\, and in some cases their three dimensional structures solved with x-ray crystallography and EM\, we still do not fully understand the physical basis of many cellular events. I believe that by watching the functional behavior of these large meso-scale complexes in living cells—the native states of the enzymes—we will more clearly understand their complexity\, regulation\, and mechanisms.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CSAS Film Screening of \"For the Love of a Man\"
DESCRIPTION:For the Love of a Man is a documentary on the fan following around South Indian superstar Rajinikanth. The star\, now in his mid-60s\, has become synonymous with larger than life characterizations in big budget films shot all over the world with elaborate music\, costumes\, and action sequences. The documentary explores how the star and every detail of his life become integral to the identities of the fans themselves as well as those around them. The visual ethic of fandom and star mimicry reveal a form of star worship that is unique to Indian cinema culture. The lives of fans and their families open us to themes of brotherhood\, aspiration\, political affiliation\, or even just means of being noticed. From bankruptcies to reformations from lives of crime\, the lives of the fans offer stories that range from the heroic to the horrific\, all in a day's work of turning a film star into a deity.\n\n\"For the Love of a Man\" an independent\, self-funded documentary\, and the first Tamil-language film to screen at the Venice Film Festival\, where it was nominated for the \"Venice Classics Award for Best Documentary on Cinema\" in the 2015.\n\nTrailer available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPuPmqsgwBc\n\nJoyojeet Pal is an assistant professor at the School of Information. His research is on technology and global development\, particularly issues of how technology is represented\, and its impact on individual and collective aspiration. He works on digital accessibility and social inclusion for people with disabilities in low- and middle-income countries\, specifically the role of mobile devices in workplace and social access for people with visual impairments. In addition\, he studies the use of social media in political outreach and brand building in the Global South\, particularly India. His interest in mainstream media and social movements in India led to the researching and production of \"For the Love of a Man\" an independent\, self-funded documentary on the religious\, political\, and economic origins of cinema fandom in India. It was nominated for the \"Venice Classics Award for Best Documentary on Cinema\" in the 2015 Venice Film Festival\, where the film premiered.\n\nDr. Swarnavel Eswaran Pillai is an assistant professor in the English\, and Media and Information Departments at Michigan State University. He is a graduate from the Film and Television Institute of India\, the premier Film School in Asia\, and the prestigious University of Iowa\, at Iowa City. He is an accomplished filmmaker\, and his recent documentaries include \"Unfinished Journey: A City in Transition\" (2012)\, \"Migrations of Islam\" (2014) and \"Hmong Memory at the Crossroads\" (2015). His research focuses on the history\, theory and production of documentaries\, and the specificity of Tamil cinema and its complex relationship with Hollywood as well as popular Hindi films. His recent books are \"Cinema: Sattagamum Saalaramum\" (Nizhal\, 2013)\, an anthology of essays on documentaries and experimental films in Tamil and \"Madras Studios: Narrative\, Genre\, and Ideology in Tamil Cinema\" (Sage Publications\, 2015).

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Short Films: Compensation/Her Giveaway/Talk to Me
DESCRIPTION:\"Compensation\": Tthe first feature by award-winning filmmaker Zeinabu irene Davis (Cycles and A Powerful Thang)\, presents two unique African-American love stories between a deaf woman and a hearing man. Inspired by a poem written by Paul Laurence Dunbar\, this moving narrative shares their struggle to overcome racism\, disability and discrimination. An important film on African-American deaf culture\, Davis innovatively incorporates silent film techniques (such as title cards and vintage photos) to make the piece accessible to hearing and deaf viewers alike\, and to share the vast possibilities of language and communication.\n\"Her Giveaway\": Carole Lafavor\, member of the Ojibwe tribe\, activist\, mother and registered nurse\, is a person with AIDS. In this candid and moving portrait\, Lafavor relates how she has come to terms with AIDS by combining her traditional beliefs and healing practices with Western medicine. Her \"giveaway\" to the larger AIDS community is more than just basic information\, it is an inspiring example of how we can all learn from the Native American philosophy of illness. \n\n\"Talk to Me\" is a documentary that takes viewers into the lives of children with autism at home and at school\, and profiles the efforts of their parents and teachers to help them achieve their potential. The families we meet are of different racial and socio-economic backgrounds struggling to obtain appropriate services for their children. … Whatever their incomes\, these families struggle to obtain appropriate services for their children\, and the film shows realistically that such resources are not always distributed fairly. Emma's parents have enrolled her in an at-home program\, while Adre's single mother\, who could certainly use such a program\, isn't even aware that they exist.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The talk will begin with a brief introduction to active soft matter\, matter composed of active agents which consume energy to generate motion.  Examples of active matter include schools of fish\, flocks of birds\,  collections of bio-polymers such as microtubules and actin\, and  swimming bacteria - the focus of the remainder of the talk. A kinetic theory describing the time-dependent distribution of bacterial swimmers is presented. The model includes hydrodynamic interactions among swimmers mediated through the surrounding low-reynolds-number flow. Through this model\, we ask \"how does confinement of active matter affect its dynamics?\" We consider the dynamics of concentrated regions of active matter and active matter confined to a droplet.
