SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ELI FALL WORKSHOP SERIES: WHAT IS ACADEMIC STYLE?
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are writing a research article\, proposal\, conference abstract or dissertation\, it’s important to pay attention to style. Academic style is not so much a matter of following rules\, but more a matter of making choices. Even if you are aware of the stylistic conventions of your field and of academic writing in general\, you may also seek ways to more strongly position yourself and create your scholarly identity. In this workshop we will discuss some common features of academic style and how to make effective choices. Bring a text you are currently working on for analysis.\nSign up now to reserve a space: http://bit.ly/2dw3Cpa

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Film Screening: Never a Bystander (30 min\, 2014)
DESCRIPTION:Never a Bystander tells the story of Holocaust survivor Irene Butter’s extraordinary work with school children. Ms. Butter has spent nearly 30 years inspiring countless children to find the courage to take compassionate action and transcend obstacles. The film depicts Ms. Butter’s poignant connection to Anne Frank\, her own childhood experiences in two concentration camps\, and her choice to adopt an empowered view of her history\, leading to a life of openheartedness\, joy\, and activism.\nThe screening will be followed by a talk back with film director\, Evelyn Neuhaus\, and Irene Butter.\n\nIrene Butter was born in Berlin\, Germany and grew up Jewish in Nazi-occupied Europe. A survivor of two concentration camps\, she came to the U.S. in 1945. After graduating from Queens College in New York\, she earned a PhD in economics from Duke University and taught at the University of Michigan for over 35 years. Since 1987\, she has been visiting schools to teach students about the Holocaust and the lessons she learned during those traumatic years. She co-founded the Wallenberg lecture series honoring global change- makers and the Arab-Jewish women’s dialog group\, Zeitouna. Butter resides with her husband in Ann Arbor.\n\nEvelyn Neuhaus is a first-time filmmaker. She knew Irene Butter\, the subject of Never a Bystander\, for decades before learning that Butter was a Holocaust survivor and hearing her story. In 2007\, Neuhaus was an assistant producer for Refusing to Be Enemies: The Zeitouna Story\, about an Arab-Jewish women’s dialogue group Butter co-founded. She holds an MPH and an MBA from the University of Michigan and resides in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. She is currently exploring topics for her next film.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:MSAIL #3: Active Learning and Global Bayesian Optimization
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends\,  Our next MSAIL meeting (#3) will focus on Active Learning andGlobal Bayesian Optimization --- check out these slides for asneak peek! We'll meet at:    3427 EECS\, Wednesday\, 2016-10-26\, 18:00-19:00. The problem is that our loss function is a very complicated functionof our parameters. It's too complicated to compute except by samplingat a few points in parameter-space. Last time\, we discussed a famousheuristic applicable when at each sample we have gradient information.This time\, we'll discuss a learning framework applicable even when welack gradients. The basic idea is: estimate the loss function by a simpler one by doingregression on known (parameter\, loss) pairs. The simpler function willguide queries for further parameters to try. We are led to active learning\,wherein the algorithm asks \"clarifying questions\" by requesting moretraining data. Automatically Learning\,MSAIL

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DISC Distinguished Lecture. Gender and Sexuality in the Islamic Culture
DESCRIPTION:Shirin Ebadi will argue that despite the cultural\, social\, political\, and governmental differences in Islamic countries\, they all have one thing in common: patriarchal culture. This male-dominated culture is far stronger in Islamic societies than in the Western world and poses serious challenges to the perception of gender and its related laws and regulations.\n\nShe will share her view that in this culture women are considered to be second-class citizens. They are humiliated on the one hand\, but seen as a symbol of family honor on the other. Issues such as honor killings and FGM should be analyzed considering that they happen due to the importance of the family\, which is dependent on women.\n\nWith regards to sexual orientation\, she will also discuss how the patriarchal culture rejects homosexuality. In a same sex relationship for men\, there is a difference between the passive and active partners. Namely\, the passive person would face a harsher reaction from society because he dishonors his masculinity. This is an example of how patriarchal culture justifies itself by any means possible and interprets the holy book in a way that justifies discriminatory laws. \n\nShirin Ebadi is an Iranian lawyer\, former judge\, and human rights activist. On October 10\, 2003\, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her significant and pioneering efforts for democracy and human rights - especially women's\, children's\, and refugee rights. She was the first Iranian to ever receive the prize. Ebadi became Iran's first female judge when she was just 23 years old. She also became the first Iranian and first Muslim woman to be awarded the Nobel peace prize. Despite initially supporting the Iranian revolution like many Iranians\, Ebadi soon became its scourge. Although described as \"the worst nightmare of Iran's hardline clerics\,\" her fight for human rights\, particularly those for women\, is not anti-religion. \"I am against patriarchy\, not Islam\,\" she says. \n    \nDemoted to a secretary in her own court by the regime\, which considered women unsuitable to be judges\, she set up her own pro-bono law practice to focus on injustices in the legal system\, acting for political dissidents and on child-abuse cases. Despite being put on a death list by the regime\, Dr. Ebadi became the country's most high-profile human rights activist\, founding the Human Rights Defenders Centre and helping to found the One Million Signatures Campaign. This grassroots campaign collected 1 million signatures from women in support of changing discriminatory laws. The campaign has won numerous international prizes (including the 2009 Reach All Women in War Anna Politkovskaya Award)\, but its members have also been harassed and even jailed. \n    \nShirin Ebadi lived in Tehran\, but she has been in exile in the UK since June 2009 due to the increase in persecution of Iranian citizens who are critical of the current regime. In 2004\, she was listed by Forbes Magazine as one of the \"100 most powerful women in the world.\" She is also included in a published list of the \"100 most influential women of all time.\"\n\nEbadi will be introduced by Bridgette Carr\, clinical professor of law at the University of Michigan.\n\nAbstracts reflect the views of our speakers\, which may be varied. We expect a lively discussion.\n\nPart of the series Contemporary Islamic Identities. Visit digitalislam.umich.edu for full series details.

Brianne will be joining us virtually\, but all students will meet at the University Career Center to join the video call together. \n\nBrianne Johnson has always wanted to be a storyteller—and as GMMB's assistant account executiveof branding\, she gets to tell stories that matter. Since joining the cause communications agency in January 2016\, Brianne has crafted messaging meant to inspire public library leaders\; produced a Huffington Post blog postadvocating safe medicine storage on behalf of her clients\; and ensured that every one of her clients' deliverables is on time and on budget. Brianne’s current and past clients include: the CHPA Educational Foundation\, PATH\, Chemonics International\, the Micronutrient Initiative\, Catholic ReliefServices\, Cipla BioTec\, the Lumina Foundation\, MyChange and the Public Library Association.\n\nBrianne comes to GMMB by way of Morning Consult\, where she assisted the media and polling start-up’s communications and business development practices.

For five years\, Brianne served in various roles at award-winning student newspaper The Michigan Daily\, including as astaff writer\, senior arts editor and the paper’s first managing editor ofsocial media. She has also interned with progressive nonprofits the National Women’s Law Center and 826michigan\, and lived out her values as a leadership team member of the University’s Michigan Active Citizens Alternative Spring Break program.
