SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features various aspects of the Native North American powwow. More specifically\, it features the history and culture behind Ann Arbor’s \"Dance for Mother Earth Powwow\,\" which is approaching its much-anticipated 50th celebration.\n\nThe Dance for Mother Earth Powwow is a multi-decade\, intertribal celebration of Indigenous cultures. It grew from its early beginnings as a small gathering in a field just outside of Ann Arbor into one of the largest student-led powwows in North America. The event attracts crowds of thousands — dancers\, singers\, artists\, tribal members from across the country\, and non-Indigenous members of the community.\n\nStop by to learn more about The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow\, modern Indigenous culture\, and resources to connect to today on campus.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by Michigan Library Scholar interns\, Allison Jiang and Andrea Medina. The Michigan Library Scholars internship program provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to research and develop a capstone project under the guidance of experienced library professionals at one of the largest academic research libraries in the world.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Navigation Pain: Drip Pricing and Personalization in Two-Sided Digital Markets
DESCRIPTION:This paper considers two critical issues of platform design: personalized recommendations and drip pricing. In many online markets\, consumers often have little ex-ante knowledge of product features. In these markets\, how does platform design impact consumer welfare\, seller outcomes\, and platform profits? I answer this question in the context of the online market for hotel rooms using data from Expedia Group\, an online travel agency (OTA). I present evidence that in this market\, consumers do not ex-ante know product features\, including price. On the demand side\, this paper proposes an optimal sequential search model where consumers have rational expectations of the joint distribution of product features\, form consideration sets through page turns and clicks\, and make a final purchase decision from their consideration set. As for the platform\, I use LambdaMART\, a machine learning algorithm\, to create a mirror of the platform’s recommendation system. The search engine mirror allows for the supply side model where profit-maximizing firms consider how changes in price impact position on the page in search results. The proposed model and estimation strategies allow for platform design counterfactuals\, including changes to the order of search results and feature emphasis. The paper concludes by evaluating the welfare effects of personalized recommendations and drip pricing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Patrick Flaherty\, Associate Professor\, Department of Mathematics and Statistics\, University of Massachusetts\, Amherst
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: We consider the problem of sequential multiple hypothesis testing with nontrivial data collection cost. This problem appears\, for example\, when conducting biological experiments to identify differentially expressed genes in a disease process. This work builds on the generalized alpha-investing framework that enables control of the false discovery rate in a sequential testing setting. We make a theoretical analysis of the long-term asymptotic behavior of alpha-wealth which motivates a consideration of sample size in the alpha-investing decision rule. Using the game theoretic principle of indifference\, we construct a decision rule that optimizes the expected return (ERO) of alpha-wealth and provides an optimal sample size for the test. We show empirical results that a cost-aware ERO decision rule correctly rejects more false null hypotheses than other methods. We extend cost-aware ERO investing to finite-horizon testing which enables the decision rule to hedge against the risk of unproductive tests. Finally\, empirical tests on a real data set from a biological experiment show that cost-aware ERO produces actionable decisions as to which tests to conduct and if so at what sample size.\n\nPatrick Flaherty is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. His research includes large-scale genomic data\, hierarchical Bayesian models\, variational inference\, robust experiment design.\n\nhttps://www.math.umass.edu/directory/faculty/patrick-flaherty

SUMMARY:Presentation:The Clements Bookworm: “O Say Can You Hear?\, A Cultural Biography of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’”
DESCRIPTION:Mark Clague brilliantly weaves together the stories of the song and the nation it represents in his newest book\, \"O Say Can You Hear?\, A Cultural Biography of 'The Star-Spangled Banner.'\" Examining the origins of both text and music\, alternate lyrics and translations\, and the song’s use in sports\, at times of war\, and for political protest\, he argues that the anthem’s meaning reflects—and is reflected by—the nation’s quest to become a more perfect union. From victory song to hymn of sacrifice and vehicle for protest\, the story of Key’s song is the story of America itself.\n\nMark is Professor of musicology and American culture at the University of Michigan\; associate dean at the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\; and codirector of the American Music Institute.\n\nThis episode of the Clements Bookworm is generously sponsored by the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.
