SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Friday Lecture Series. Tech for Whom? Considerations for Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:The tech landscape in Southeast Asia is buzzing. Countries are attracting billions of dollars of Big Tech investments\; drafting and implementing digital policies\, strategies\, and masterplans\; and anchoring their growth trajectories on digitalization and playing a key role in global tech value chains. On the ground\, developers are innovating language models to better suit and represent local contexts\, and e-commerce is already one of the fastest rising sectors in the region. As Southeast Asia's digital transformation begins to unfold\, it’s worth asking fundamental questions about who this tech will ultimately benefit and at what cost.\n\nElina Noor is a senior fellow in the Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace\, where she focuses on developments in Southeast Asia\, particularly the impact and implications of technology in reshaping power dynamics\, governance\, and nation-building in the region.\n\nThis will be a virtual presentation. Please register at https://myumi.ch/JwDrq.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.
