SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Exile as Erasure: Reflections on Marginality
DESCRIPTION:From Ovid to Hannah Arendt\, the experience of exile has been reckoned with on multiple temporal and spatial scales. The phenomenon of exile has been a useful lens through which to interrogate systems of power and authority\, and has helped modern scholars redefine identity. Exile\, however\, does not always mean a physical displacement of a people\; despite being “at home\,” those who live\, think\, and practice on the margins of society can experience isolation in one’s own domain that feels akin to exile. Join us and our graduate student panelists in a discussion of the experience of exilic marginality in native and foreign lands.\n\nPanelists:\nTuğçe Akgül (Graduate Student\, Ancient History\, University of Michigan)\nMelissa Itzkowitz (Graduate Student\, Anthropology\, University of Michigan)\nZhaina Meirkhan (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nTalitha Pam (Graduate Student\, Anthropology and History\, University of Michigan)\nAnna Bonnell Freidin (Assistant Professor\, History\, University of Michigan)\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FSML Seminar 09: From Turbulent Flows to Video Games: Managing Large-Scale Data with Tensor Decomposition
DESCRIPTION:In person: February 28th\, 2025\, 12pm - 1pm (Refreshments will be served!)\nTo join via Zoom\, please use the following link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97823527756?pwd=H01BbvtuG5q02Wzb8LJvhUnvijlAIe.1\n\nAbstract:\nThe rapid advancement of large-scale parallel computing created a surge of interest in developing high-fidelity digital twins for complex systems. However\, the computational demands for training these models are immense\, requiring vast amounts of data. As the spatial and temporal resolution of simulations increases\, even data storage becomes a critical bottleneck. This talk presents how low-rank tensor decomposition methods can be used to exploit the structure in large-scale data. We showcase a diverse array of applications\, from 3D turbulent Navier-Stokes simulations to Minecraft gameplay videos\, demonstrating the versatility and power of these techniques.\n\nBio: Doruk Aksoy is a 5th year PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering and Scientific computing at the University of Michigan\, working under the supervision of Prof. Alex Gorodetsky. Prior to joining UM\, he studied Mechanical Engineering at Bogazici University in Istanbul Turkey. During his PhD\, he worked on developing incremental tensor decomposition algorithms to accelerate scientific machine learning through data reduction.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Gilded Towns in a Dead Land: Water\, Warfare\, and the Natural World on Kalymnos
DESCRIPTION:In the dry eastern Aegean\, control of water often corresponds with control of entire economies and\npopulations. Across millennia\, imperial powers have leveraged such control to their advantage\, often\ndramatically transforming landscapes and social relations as a result. On Kalymnos\, fieldwork\ncontinues to find indications of these processes in action. This deforested\, dry island has been\nsubject to many empires\, and\, it appears\, many episodes of ecological devastation. I suggest that\nEarly Medieval Kalymnos can be understood as a ‘post-apocalyptic’ landscape\, in which new\nresources\, new landscapes\, and new social organizations were shaped from a dry and dying earth.

SUMMARY:Well-being:Heartfulness Guided Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly\, drop-in program designed to help you Mental well-being. \n\nAll U-M students\, faculty\, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required. \n\n*What will you learn?*\n\nThe guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation\, rejuvenation\, and meditation.\n\nRelaxation brings your body to a calm\, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level\, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions\, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly\, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice. \n\n*Why Meditate?*\n\nWhile physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape\, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically\, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony. \n\n*Please take Learn to Meditate session if you are new to the practice. These sessions are offered Monthly.* https://events.umich.edu/event/128708\n\n*Event Details*\n\nHeartfulness Guided Meditation \nFridays from 12-12:30 p.m. ET (except during university season days / holidays)\nJoin Via Zoom Meeting\nRegister to receive Passcode (see “Related links”\n\n\nThis wellness program is coordinated by ITS Teaching & Learning and provided at no cost by heartfulness.org.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jenna Moon\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:SMTD doctoral alumna Jenna Moon performs on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. 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.
