SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Emerging Democracies Book Launch: \"State Institutions\, Civic Associations\, and Identity Demands\"
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at http://myumi.ch/G4k3E \n\nWhile the media tends to pay the most attention to violent secessionist movements or peaceful independence movements\, it is just as important to understand why there are regions where political movements for autonomy fail to develop. In neglecting regions without political movements or full-blown independence demands\, theories may be partial at best and incorrect at worst.\n   \n   State Institutions\, Civic Associations\, and Identity Demands examines over a dozen regions\, comparing and contrasting successful cases to abandoned\, unsuccessful\, or dormant cases. The cases range from successful secession (East Timor\, Singapore) and ongoing secessionist movements (Southern Philippines)\, to internally divided regional movements (Kachin State)\, low-level regionalist stirrings (Lanna\, Taiwan)\, and local but not regional mobilization of identity (Bali\, Minahasan)\, all the way to failed movements (Bataks\, South Maluku) and regions that remain politically inert (East and North Malaysia\, Northeast Thailand). While each chapter is written by a country expert\, the contributions rely on a range of methods\, from comparative historical analysis\, to ethnography\, field interviews\, and data from public opinion surveys. Together\, they contribute important new knowledge on little-known cases that nevertheless illuminate the history of regions and ethnic groups in Southeast Asia. Although focused on Southeast Asia\, the book identifies the factors that can explain why movements emerge and successfully develop and concludes with a chapter by Henry Hale that illustrates how this can be applied globally.\n   \n   Amy H. Liu (PhD Emory University) is an Associate Professor in the Government Department and codirector of the Politics of Race and Ethnicity Lab at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research and teaching focus on the intersection of ethnic politics\, language politics\, and migration politics – often through the lens of Great China\, the Chinese language\, or the Chinese diaspora. Amy’s first book Standardizing Diversity: The Political Economy of Language Regimes (University of Pennsylvania Press 2015) examines how the recognition of lingua francas can be conducive for economic growth – in Asia generally and in Southeast Asia specifically. The second book The Language of Political Incorporation: Chinese Migrants in Europe (Temple University Press 2021) looks at the linguistic networks of Chinese migrants and the implications for engagement with local authorities in Europe. She also has coauthored a monograph (Cambridge University Press 2022 ) explaining the treatment of ethnic minorities in Southeast Asia. Amy is also currently working on a new book project examining the diversity and representation of government cabinets in Asia.\n   \n   Joel Sawat Selway (PhD University of Michigan) is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Brigham Young University. His research and teaching focus on ethnicity\, nationalism\, and political institutions. His first book Coalitions of the Wellbeing: How Electoral Rules and Ethnic Politics Shape Health Policy in Developing Countries (Cambridge University Press 2015) examines how the both electoral rules and a country’s ethnic diversity structure incentives for the delivery of public goods\, with a particular focus on Southeast Asia. His second book (in progress) looks at the competing identities of nationalism and regionalism in Thailand\, explaining why some ethno-regional groups have experienced separatist activity\, while others have not. Joel’s work has also appeared in journals such as World Politics\, Political Analysis\, Comparative Political Studies\, British Journal of Political Science\, and Journal of Conflict Resolution.\n   \n   Purchase the book via: https://press.umich.edu/Books/S/State-Institutions-Civic-Associations-and-Identity-Demands2\n   Order online and save 30% with discount code UMS24!\n   \n   This event is free and open to the public\, but registration is required if you intend to participate virtually.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Nonlinear dynamics in stochastic systems
DESCRIPTION:In this overview talk we discuss several results regarding the dynamics of stochastic systems arising in or motivated by fluid mechanics. First\, we discuss proving \"Lagrangian chaos\" in stochastic fluid mechanics\, that is\, demonstrating a positive Lyapunov exponent for the motion of a particle in the velocity field arising from the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations. We describe how this chaos can be used to deduce qualitatively optimal almost-sure exponential mixing of passive scalars\, which can be used to provide a rigorous derivation of the power spectrum of passive scalar turbulence in certain regimes. Next\, we describe more recently developed methods for obtaining strictly positive lower bounds and some quantitative estimates on the top Lyapunov exponent of weakly-damped stochastic differential equations\, such as Lorenz-96 model or Galerkin truncations of the 2d Navier-Stokes equations (called \"Eulerian chaos\" in fluid mechanics). We discuss upcoming work which combines many of the above ideas to study \"symmetry breaking\" in Lorenz-96 with degenerate forcing\, giving an example of non-uniqueness of stationary measures (while providing a unique \"physically correct\" measure). Related ideas regarding nonlinear energy transfer in degenerately damped systems will also be discussed if time permits. All of the work except for the last (joint with Kyle Liss) is joint with Alex Blumenthal and Sam Punshon-Smith.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial Empowerment Series: #4 Caring for Your$elf
DESCRIPTION:Dinner provided! Registration is required for food planning purposes.\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/754048779197\n\nOrder to take workshops:\n\n1 - Your Money Story\n2 - Making Confident Financial Decisions\n3 - Ultimate Financial Wellness\n4 - Caring for Your$elf\n5 - Be The Boss of Your Finances\n\nBudgets\, interest rates\, and credit scores sound dry\, boring\, and a little overwhelming? You’re not imagining it. Most financial literacy content focuses on the dollars and cents and omits the very real emotional\, psychological\, and systemic reasons money stuff feels so dull. But? It’s good stuff to know\, and we rarely get the opportunity to learn about it in a shame-free space where every question is valued and honored.\n\nIn this interactive workshop facilitated by U-M alum and financial therapist Lindsay Bryan-Podvin\, you’ll learn why traditional budgeting doesn’t work\, understand some of the personal finance terms you’re bound to come across\, and learn how to make meaningful financial goals. \n\nRSVP for other workshops in the series here: https://myumi.ch/wlwGv
