SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series | Holy Things in Thailand and the Spectre of Syncretism
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/jZek2\n\nContemporary Thai Buddhists worship a variety of “holy things” (sing saksit)\, including spirits\, gods\, and Buddha images\, in nearly identical ways for mundane boons. Although the model of syncretism has largely been rejected in Religious Studies\, aspects of the Thai worship of these holy things\, as well as the language used by Thai Buddhists themselves\, still stubbornly seems to suggest that syncretism is at play. In this talk\, which is based on his book\, Holy Things: The Genealogy of the Sacred in Thai Religion\, which was recently released by Oxford University Press\, McGovern answers the question\, If syncretism is so wrong\, then why does it feel so right?\n   \nNathan McGovern is a scholar of Asian religions teaching at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater since 2016. He received his PhD in Religious Studies in 2013 and has lived and worked in Thailand\, Taiwan\, Germany\, Canada\, and the United States. His work focuses on interrogating the boundary between Buddhism and Hinduism in ancient India and in Thailand. His latest book. The Snake and the Mongoose\, published with Oxford University Press in 2019.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series with Allison Steiner
DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: The Laurentian Great Lakes can influence regional climate and chemistry through a variety of mechanisms\, and I’ll discuss these chemistry-climate interactions from the perspective of what goes up (e.g.\, water via evaporation\, aerosols via lake spray) versus what comes down (e.g.\, aerosol deposition of nutrients\, precipitation). From the climate perspective\, we analyze the atmospheric moisture budget in the Great Lakes region using reanalyses and future climate model data to develop a process-level understanding of the precipitation seasonality. We identify the lakes not only as a source of moisture\, but also in generating localized moisture flux convergence/divergence patterns that affect the seasonality of the water cycle. Despite differences in historical simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) data archive\, common patterns of change are present in the future projections of the atmospheric water budget. Specifically\, summer drying and winter/spring wetting by mid-century is consistent across models\, indicating a shift in the precipitation seasonal cycle towards colder months\, while evapotranspiration magnitudes revealed unambiguous increases throughout the year in all models. Overall\, the atmospheric transport of moisture is the primary driver of future precipitation changes\, with an amplification of the moisture flux convergence seasonal cycle in future climate model simulations. From the atmospheric chemistry perspective\, I’ll discuss the role of the lakes as a source or sink for chemical constituents in the atmosphere. Emissions of lake spray aerosol (LSA) can be a regional source of aerosol\, and including LSA in regional chemistry models increases aerosol pH in the Great Lakes region and enables the partitioning of nitrate to the aerosol phase. Overall\, this suggests that LSA should be included in regional assessments of atmospheric chemistry and air quality. The deposition of atmospheric aerosols is a source of phosphorus to the Great Lakes region\, and while this contribution is small compared to surface runoff\, it has not been well-constrained. We quantify the phosphorus deposition to the Great Lakes using a combination of ground-based measurements and models across the region\, and highlight uncertainties in this atmospheric source of phosphorus.\n\nAbout the speaker: Allison L. Steiner is a Professor of Atmospheric Sciences in the Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering at the University of Michigan. She received her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University and her Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences from the Georgia Institute of Technology.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Inheritance: 11 Years in the Life of One Boy in the Opioid Epidemic
DESCRIPTION:Inheritance: 11 Years in the Life of One Boy in the Opioid Epidemic\nAmy Toensing and Matt Moyer\, National Geographic\nFriday\, September 27\, 2024\, noon ET\nSSW ECC 1840\nAlso available to watch online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hi4GyWFL3k\n\nA screening of the documentary will take place after the talk at 2pm in the same room.\n\nDirected by Amy Toensing and Matt Moyer\,  the documentary\"Inheritance\" explores the underlying causes of the opioid epidemic in America through the life of one boy and five generations of his extended family over 11 years. Curtis\, a bright and hopeful 12-year-old\, grows up surrounded by love and struggle while every adult in his family – parents\, grandparents\, aunts\, uncles\, and cousins – battles addiction. Curtis’s America is a country where people and communities are struggling with an epidemic of substance use disorder\, joblessness\, poverty\, and a deteriorating sense of belonging.\n\nReal World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions introduces key issues regarding the causes and consequences of poverty through an in-person lecture series featuring experts in policy and practice from across the nation. Our goal is to help build a broad community of learners to engage in these issues together.\n\nThis series is free and open to the public\, but is also a one-credit course available for U-M students during the Fall 2024 semester. Students can enroll in SWK 503 001 or U-M class 26997 on Canvas.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Museum Studies Program\, Museums at Noon
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: How can we reimagine the future of museums? How do we make museums decolonial? How does this decolonial practice change our perception of what a museum can be\, and how do we present it to the public? In this talk I will share my experience interning at the Organization QuestaèRoma in Rome\, Italy\, and present their approach in engaging the public with decolonial practices through varied events\, and specifically through their decolonial tours of the capital. These tours highlight what is \"hidden in plain sight\" : the distant and not-so-distant architectural remnants of colonial history that is often unobserved\, taken for granted and/or unquestioned by the locals and tourists alike.\n\nPresentation by Gala Patenkovica\, PhD Candidate in the French Program of Romance Languages and Literatures. Her dissertation addresses representations of immigration and belonging in contemporary French comic books. She holds an active interest in visual and museum studies.
