SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Strategic Avoidance and Welfare Impacts of Solar Panel Tariffs (joint with Bryan Bollinger\, Kenneth Gillingham\, Drew Vollmer\, and Daniel Xu)
DESCRIPTION:This study examines the effects of tariffs imposed by the United States on imported solar panels. We first provide definitive evidence that tariff-exposed firms shifted production to locations that did not face tariffs\, and that domestic prices increased relative to other markets. We then develop a structural model to analyze welfare and employment effects. We find that the tariffs led to modest gains for manufacturers with domestic operations\, but larger losses in domestic consumer surplus and environmental benefits. Furthermore\, the tariffs reduced domestic solar industry employment and wages on net. By contrast\, subsidizing solar panel manufacturing could increase domestic production\, employment\, and welfare.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Meeting:The Logistics of Counter-Revolution: Fast Circulation\, Slow Violence\, and the Transpacific Empire of Circulation
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: 11am - 1pm\nRLL Commons\, MLB 4314\n\nLecture: 4pm - 5:30pm\nNorth Quad\, Room 2185\n\nRSVP at our link!\n\nThe rise of the global logistics industry has profoundly impacted global workers' struggles by organizing goods movement through a politics of just-in-time circulation. Although scholars have often dubbed this phenomenon \"the revolution in logistics\,\" in this paper I argue that the so-called 'logistics revolution' is better understood as a counter-revolution.\n\nAs anti-colonial leaders and trade unions in Southeast Asia pursued economic sovereignty during the “Third World’s” transition to independence\, they nationalized industry\, seized colonial property\, and sought to build national shipping and industrial capacity. To contain this threat to private enterprise\, US and UK shipping corporations\, backed by their states\, pursued the globalization of supply chain infrastructures.\n\nFocusing on a swathe of nationalizations of Dutch and British merchant\, shipping\, and plantation corporations in Indonesia from 1960-66\, this talk examines how shipping containerization only became viable when it aided imperial containment strategy. As I argue\, bringing the history of logistics into conversation with decolonizing workers' and nationalist struggles in Southeast Asia transforms our understanding of the logistics counter-revolution\, positioning it as a reactionary political project that consolidated colonial power into new economic forms.\n\nTracing the historical conjecture of the rise of logistics with the end of formal empire\, I ask: What did the rise of logistics look like from the vantage of the decolonizing of the global south?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Asymptotic Representations for Sequential Decisions\, Adaptive Experiments\, and Batched Bandits
DESCRIPTION:We develop asymptotic approximations that can be applied to sequential estimation and inference problems\, adaptive randomized controlled trials\, and related settings. In batched adaptive settings where the decision at one stage can affect the observation of variables in later stages\, our asymptotic representation characterizes all limit distributions attainable through a joint choice of an adaptive design rule and statistics applied to the adaptively generated data. This facilitates local power analysis of tests\, comparison of adaptive treatments rules\, and other analyses of batchwise sequential statistical decision rules.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series. A Biography of Decolonization in Cold War Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:This paper revisits mid-20th century Asia\, Southeast Asia especially when the promise of decolonization met the perils of the Cold War. Theoretically\, it argues for an eventful geography of decolonization based on the actions\, perspectives\, and biographies of historical actors. Empirically\, it discusses the life and work of Oey Hong Lee (1924-1992)\, a visionary intellectual\, activist\, and journalist from Indonesia. His Indonesian-language book “Asia Won in Dien Bien Phu” (1961) narrates the diplomatic and military struggles between France and Vietnam that ended the First Indochina War (1946-54). In dialog with anti-colonial theorists Aime Cesaire\, Frantz Fanon\, and others\, Oey advanced a regional understanding that balanced contextual nuance with geopolitical imperative. In contrast to his better-known contemporaries\, Oey focused on the regional tensions between decolonization and geopolitical struggle\, analyzing less the universalizing binary between colonizer and colonized and more the specific histories of place\, in this case\, Vietnam and Indonesia. In so doing\, he rejected the regional construct of Southeast Asia as a creature of American-led Cold War machinations in favor of an emancipatory idea of Asia positioned at the vanguard of decolonizing world order. All the while\, Oey navigated a political landscape in Indonesia that\, between 1955-65\, was roiling with Cold War intrigue\, nativist Islam\, and anti-Chinese sentiment that ultimately forced him into exile.\n\n If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact cseas@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FSML Seminar 11: Derivative-Informed Operator Learning with Applications to Cost-Efficient Bayesian Inversion
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Link:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/97823527756?pwd=H01BbvtuG5q02Wzb8LJvhUnvijlAIe.1\n\n\nAbstract:\nThis talk focuses on a derivative-informed supervised learning method for efficiently building machine learning surrogates of high-fidelity computational models\, particularly those governed by parametric partial differential equations. Unlike the conventional supervised learning method that treats the model as a black box\, our approach leverages additional model sensitivity information\, extracted via solving forward or adjoint sensitivity equations. This sensitivity information is integrated into the surrogate’s architecture and training process based on rigorous error analysis. We refer to such a surrogate construction as DINO (derivative-informed neural operator).\nDINO offers two key advantages over conventional surrogate construction. First\, it significantly improves the cost-accuracy trade-off for a wide range of models\, often by one to two orders of magnitude. Second\, it directly controls the surrogate Jacobian (Fréchet derivative) errors\, thus enhancing performance in surrogate-driven outer-loop problems that use gradient- and Hessian-based optimization algorithms. We demonstrate DINO’s capability to accelerate infinite-dimensional Bayesian inversion. First\, we show that geometric MCMC driven by DINO achieves a 2–9x speed up in asymptotically exact posterior sampling. Second\, we introduce LazyDINO\, a DINO-driven measure transport method for amortized Bayesian inversion\, which is one to two orders of magnitude more cost-efficient than competing methods.\nThis talk is based on joint work with Michael Brennan\, Joshua Chen\, Omar Ghattas\, Youssef Marzouk\, and Thomas O’Leary-Roseberry.\n\nShort bio: Dr. Lianghao Cao is a Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate from Department of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at California Institute of Technology. He obtained a B.S. in Engineering Mechanics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, and a Ph.D. in Computational Science\, Engineering\, and Mathematics from The University of Texas at Austin. His research blends mechanistic modeling\,  uncertainty quantification\, and scientific machine learning to understand\, enhance\, and control the quality\, validity\, and reliability of simulation-based predictions of complex physical systems.

The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.
