SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lending Attention and the Understory
DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): http://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters23\n\nZell Visiting Writers Series craft lectures are free and open to the public\, and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in The Robert Hayden Conference Room\, Angell Hall #3222). Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact kimjulie@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.\n\n\"In Spanish\, you do not 'pay attention\,' you 'lend attention.' I use this idea as a subtle technique in character development that often draws details from the people and places I know best. These details are what I call “the understory” of memory. The way authors do this is not accidental\, it is a form of intuitive writing. There is always more than meets the eye.\"\n\nLuis Alberto Urrea\, a Guggenheim Fellow and Pulitzer Prize finalist\, is the author of 18 books\, winning numerous awards for his poetry\, fiction and essays. Born in Tijuana to a Mexican father and American mother\, Urrea is most recognized as a border writer\, though he says\, “I am more interested in bridges\, not borders.” His most recent novel\, *Good Night Irene*\, was published in May 2023 and is inspired by his mother’s service in Europe during WWII as a Red Cross Clubmobile “Donut Dolly.”\n\n*The Devil’s Highway\,* Urrea’s 2004 non-fiction account of a group of Mexican immigrants lost in the Arizona desert\, won the Lannan Literary Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the Pacific Rim Kiriyama Prize. *The House of Broken Angels\,* was a 2018 finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and a *New York Times* Notable Book of the Year. He won an American Academy of Arts and Letters Fiction award for his collection of short stories\, *The Water Museum\,* which was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award. Urrea’s novel *Into the Beautiful North* is a Big Read selection of the National Endowment of the Arts. He is a distinguished professor of creative writing at the University of Illinois-Chicago.\n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kimjulie@umich.edu-- we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you. The building\, event space\, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. A lactation room (Angell Hall #5209)\, reflection room (Haven Hall #1506)\, and gender-inclusive restroom (Angell Hall 5th floor) are available on site. ASL interpreters and CART services at in-person events are available upon request\; please email kimjulie@umich.edu at least two weeks prior to the event\, whenever possible\, to allow time to arrange services.\n\nU-M employees with a U-M parking permit may use the Church Street Parking Structure (525 Church St.\, Ann Arbor) or the Thompson Parking Structure (500 Thompson St.\, Ann Arbor). There is limited metered street parking on State Street and South University Avenue.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Liquid Markets: An Empirical Analysis of a Water Exchange
DESCRIPTION:This paper empirically analyzes the performance of one of the world’s most developed water exchanges\, which operates as a primitive limit order market. Upon modeling participants’ choice of order price and order type\, I identify their latent value distributions from observed orders and trades. The model flexibly allows for dynamics\, risk aversion\, and default behavior. Counterfactual simulations suggest the observed exchange attains substantially lower trade surplus than the benchmark of periodic uniform-price market clearing. Droughts exacerbate the gap in surplus per unit traded between the observed exchange and the benchmark. I assess the role of volume frictions\, price shading\, and temporal dispersion in explaining the gap.\n\nThis talk is presented by the Applied Microeconomics/Industrial Organization Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Jean Coven Speakers Fund in Economics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Products from Pollution: Carbon Capture and Conversion
DESCRIPTION:Phasing out fossil fuels is a primary means to fight climate change\, but it alone is not enough. Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

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
