SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Building Bridges over Walls: Midwestern Translation Networks and Eastern European Literatures
DESCRIPTION:Visiting speakers: Clare Cavanagh (Northwestern)\, Yakov Klots (Hunter College)\, Joanna Trzeciak (Kent State) and Russell Scott Valentino (Indiana)\n\nLocal speakers: Herb Eagle (UM Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures)\, Jindřich Toman (UM Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures)\, Piotr Westwalewicz (UM Lecturer in Slavic Languages and Literatures)\n\nSince the early 1960s and continuing to this day\, if an American is reading a book by a contemporary Central European writer\, chances are extremely good that the book was translated and/or published at one of a small handful of universities in the Upper Midwest. Michigan\, Indiana\, Iowa\, and Northwestern\, among a few others\, have long served conspicuously as conduits for writers living in a kind of historical—and\, for much of the twentieth century\, political—frontier. It is through these institutions that many such writers have entered the world literary marketplace. Though rarely remarked\, this concentration of activity has deep demographic\, cultural\, and geopolitical roots\, tying the middle of one continent to the middle of another and providing a durable link between immigrant communities and their points of origination.\n\nThis interdisciplinary seminar retraces the institutional history of midwestern translation networks for Eastern European literature. The day’s activities\, which are intended both for our scholarly community and the general public\, will include a panel on Ann Arbor’s conspicuous role as a hub of Eastern European literature\; an online and in-person exhibit of archival and print materials\; an expert panel on tamizdat (banned literature published abroad and often smuggled back into its country of origin)\; an expert panel on the present and future of globalizing Eastern European and Central Asian literature\; and a celebratory reading of poetry in translation.\n\nProgram:\n10-10:45: \"Samizdat from a Basement in Ann Arbor\": Piotr Westwalewicz\, Herbert Eagle\, Jindrich Toman\n\n11-11:45: Presentation of Building Bridges Over Walls Exhibit (doctoral students Azhar Dyussekenova\, Samantha Farmer\, Katie Kasperian\, and Tanya Silverman\, Slavic Languages and Literatures\, U-M\; and Dylan Ogden\, Comparative Literature\, U-M)\n\n12-1: Tamizdat and the Cold War: Yakov Klots (Hunter College\, The Tamizdat Project) and Jessie Labov (Central European University)\n\n2-3: Translation Networks Today: Russell Scott Valentino (Indiana University\, Slavica Publishers) and Joanna Trzeciak (Kent State University)\n\n3:15-4:15: \"Listening against Silence\": A Reading of Literature in Translation with Clare Cavanagh (Northwestern University)\n\nThis is an in-person event for U-M students\, faculty\, and staff only\; all sessions will also be livestreamed on Zoom.\n\nRegistration for in-person attendance is required. Please RSVP here by March 15: https://forms.gle/8hJFgWfxBFo1oQWA8\n\nTo attend via Zoom\, register at: https://myumi.ch/9P43d

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Humanize the Numbers
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition displays images from the archive of photographs from Humanize the Numbers\, an ongoing collaborative project. Students and faculty at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor join individuals impacted by the criminal justice system in Michigan to create photographs for those on the outside. The project aims to showcase the creativity of those who are incarcerated\, using photography to allow their stories to add a personal dimension to the overwhelming statistics of mass incarceration. This exhibit hopes to foster discussion with policy makers\, activists\, and civic leaders about prison reform and mass incarceration.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Kean Ming Tan\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Statistics\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Quantile regression is a powerful tool for learning the relationship between a response variable and a multivariate predictor while exploring heterogeneous effects. However\, the non-smooth piecewise linear loss function introduces challenges to the computational aspect when the number of covariates is large. To address the aforementioned challenge\, we propose a convolution-type smoothing approach that turns the non-differentiable quantile piecewise linear loss function into a twice- differentiable\, globally convex\, and locally strongly convex surrogate\, which admits a fast and scalable gradient-based algorithm to perform optimization. In the low-dimensional setting\, we establish nonasymptotic error bounds for the resulting smoothed estimator. In the high-dimensional setting\, we propose the concave regularized smoothed quantile regression estimator\, which we solve using a multi-stage convex relaxation algorithm. Theoretically\, we characterize both the algorithmic error due to non-convexity and statistical error for the resulting estimator simultaneously. We show that running the multi-stage algorithm for a few iterations will yield an estimator that achieves the oracle property. Our results suggest that the smoothing approach leads to a significant computational gain without a loss in statistical accuracy.\n\nhttp://www.keanmingtan.com/

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture Series. Pedagogies of Transfemininity in the Spanish Colonial Philippines 1589-1864
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Jaya Jacobo narrates and describes the simultaneous disavowal and affirmation of transfemininity in the Spanish colonial Philippines within the apparatus of colonial cisheteropatriarchy by looking at narratives which mark out the emergence of the transfeminine in Catholic religious discourse and its catechetical project of conversion.  \n\nIn particular\, Jacobo reads the instrumentalization of transfeminine divinity against the establishment of imperial priesthood in chronicles written by Spanish friars as they document the evangelization of the islands. What emerges in these chronicles is the pedagogical value of the transfeminine priest/trans priestess as a recalcitrant body gaining the ideal subjectivity of a “rectified heathen.” To triangulate the discursive formation of the transfeminine as an aberrant body rectifying its own inclinations as well as resisting the force of interdictions\, Jacobo turns to lexicons and grammars through the colonial centuries\, ending with an analysis of the figuration of cisgenderhood and the concomitant recession of trans possibility in the didactics of a significant Tagalog novel of manners in the late nineteenth century.  \n\nJaya Jacobo is Assistant Professor of Gender\, Equality and Diversity at the Institute of Education of Coventry University\, United Kingdom. She was previously Postdoctoral Fellow of the Philippine Work Package of the GlobaLGRACE Genders and Cultures of Equality Programme at the University of the Philippines\, which enabled her to work alongside travesti and transsexual women artists\, academics and activists in Brazil. She is a founding co-editor of *Queer Southeast Asia: A Transgressive Journal of Literary Art* and a member of the board of trustees of the Society of Trans Women of the Philippines. \n\nFree and open to the public\; register at http://myumi.ch/9P63y

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Mentoring Across Differences
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will address challenges that emerge in mentoring relationships related to the players’ social identities and their intersection. Through a variety of interactive activities and case studies\, participants will be able to explore from a distance the way bias plays out in mentoring relationships\, dive into closer practice to recognize their own bias from a mentor’s perspective\, and develop strategies to interrupt various biases to ensure particular kinds of collaborations with members of their future teams. Participants will also be able to tap into personal knowledge and experiences as mentors or mentees and create the vision and practice of mentorship they would like to pursue in their particular fields and careers. The session’s main objective is to recognize the power of intentional mentorship within the inclusive leadership framework by enhancing participants’ skills and professional toolkits and their understanding of differences\, thus\, ultimately\, achieving a higher level of comfort with both vulnerability and life-long growth when advocating for diversity\, equity\, and inclusion.\nThis workshop is designed for University of Michigan master’s students\, doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff\, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.\n
