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: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:Workshop / Seminar:Classroom Activities for Engaging with Politics\, Policy\, & Social Issues
DESCRIPTION:Across the disciplines\, we can help our students to build skills for civic and democratic engagement that will serve them throughout their careers and lives. This role can be challenging\, however\, particularly in politically polarized times. Our goal for this in-person\, interactive workshop is to strengthen instructors’ toolkits for incorporating civic skills-building in the classroom and discipline. We’ll explore specific classroom activities for class sessions discussing policy\, politics\, and social issues\, such as deliberative dialogue discussions and conversation cafes. We’ll focus on how to select and design activities well-suited for the specific skills we are seeking to foster during a class period.  \n\nThis session is offered as part of the Promoting Democracy Teaching Series\, co-sponsored by CRLT and Ginsberg Center.\n\nOpen to UM faculty\, graduate students/GSIs and post-docs. If you are UM staff with instructional responsibilities who would like to register\, please reach out to teachdemocracy@umich.edu\n\nRegister Here: https://events.blackthorn.io/en/Hn1RKit7/g/2kTsKXAV0p/classroom-activities-for-engaging-with-politics-policy-and-social-issues-5a1oHn4l1gA/overview

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute Seminar | Cavity electrodynamics of integrated quantum materials
DESCRIPTION:Abstract.\nQuantum materials embedded into devices have been observed to host a wide variety of quantum phases that can exhibit intriguing properties\, like dissipationless transport\, magnetism\, or fractionalized carriers. Understanding the conditions under which these phenomena emerge is of great fundamental interest and important for deterministically designing materials for new applications. In these device-integrated quantum materials\, the macroscopic responses are not solely due to the intrinsic interactions of the materials. Instead\, these interactions\, and the resulting ground state physics\, are modified by the specifics of the device integration.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss how integrated quantum materials form sub-wavelength cavities due to their micron-size\, confining low-energy light into the near field. I will introduce time-domain on-chip THz spectroscopy as a technique to capture the cavity electrodynamics\, probing the response of integrated materials to light on their natural frequency (~THz/meV) scales. This technique overcomes the mismatch between free-space THz wavelengths (~300 um) and sample size (~10 um) by measuring the optical conductivity on-chip\, in the near field\, and at finite momenta. I will illustrate how the properties of integrated quantum materials\, such as gate-tunable van der Waals heterostructures\, can be modified and controlled due to cavity effects. Using on-chip THz spectroscopy\, I observed light-matter hybridization in a gate-tunable van der Waals heterostructure\, between plasmonic self cavity modes in monolayer graphene and a graphite electrostatic gate. This hybridization can be tuned into the ultrastrong coupling regime using electrostatic gating and the cavity geometry. In this regime\, light-matter coupling can be wielded to engineer new thermodynamic ground states. Together\, these results lay a path for utilizing integrated quantum materials in novel THz quantum technologies. \n\n\nBio.\nHope Bretscher is currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter\, in Hamburg Germany\, where she investigates the low-energy electrodynamics of 2D materials. Originally from St. Louis Missouri\, Hope received her BA in physics from the University of Chicago. Funded by a Marshall Scholarship\, she pursued a master’s degree in Science and Technology studies from the University of Edinburgh\, before attaining her PhD in 2021 on ultrafast dynamics in vdW materials from the University of Cambridge.
