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:CSCS Seminar | Tensor Networks for Chemical Reaction Network Rate Calculations
DESCRIPTION:Coffee and snacks will be provided. This talk will be recorded for later viewing.\n\nAbstract: In studying the dynamics of stochastic complex systems\, it is common to employ Monte Carlo sampling of trajectories because it is typically impractical to solve for the evolution of the probability distribution over exponentially large state spaces. In my talk\, I will present a case study (PRX\, 13\, 041006\, 2023) showing a numerically tractable route to studying the stochastic dynamics without sampling. The illustrative example involves a \"rare-event rate calculation\" which extracts the timescale to exhibit a stochastic switch between bistable states. The talk will provide a primer on how tensor networks can be employed to perform numerically controllable stochastic many-body dynamics with an eye toward demystifying how similar approaches can be employed in other domains.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | China’s Age of Abundance: Origins\, Ascendance\, and Aftermath
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/7PPZy\n\n In four decades since the late 1970s\, China has experienced one of the most consequential economic transformations in world history. One-fifth of the Earth’s population has left behind a life of scarcity and subsistence for one of abundance and material comfort. Based on his newly published book\, Wang Feng revisits the origins\, forces\, and processes of the meteoric rise in living standards of the Chinese population\, and offers a systematic historical and sociological analysis of this unique historical juncture. Anticipating headwinds\, including an aging population\, increasing inequality\, and intensifying political control\, Wang Feng discusses why China’s age of abundance has come to an end\, and the challenges China faces in its aftermath.\n   \n   WANG Feng currently holds the position of professor of sociology at the University of California\, Irvine. He is a scholar with expertise in China’s social and demographic changes\, of social inequality\, and of comparative population and social history. He is the author of multiple books and many articles in professional journals\, books\, and other media outlets. His work and views have appeared frequently in major global media outlets. He has served as an expert for the United Nations\, the World Bank\, and the World Economic Forum\, among many others. His multifaceted professional service includes terms as Chair of the Department of Sociology at the University of California\, Irvine (2007-2010)\, Senior Fellow in Foreign Relations and in Global Development at the Brookings Institution\, a leading think-tank in the United States\, and the Director of the Brookings-Tsinghua Center for Public Policy in Beijing (2010-2013). He is an elected member of the Sociological Research Association\, an honor society of sociologists in the United States. He is also an elected foreign member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei (National Academy of Italy). Professor Wang Feng is a graduate of the University of Michigan\, the first from the PRC receiving a PhD degree in social sciences at U-M.\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.
