The institute's presentation of *The Butch Closet* is the second iteration of the project\, offering a more intimate and immersive engagement with Phranc's sculptural works. As part of the installation\, visitors can peer into a closet built in the center of the gallery designed by the artist. Conceptually\, the space shifts from inside to outside\, public and private\, and explores themes of visibility and that which remains inaccessible or unseen.\n\nAbout the artist:\nPhranc is a jewish lesbian folksinger and queer artist who uses song\, painting and sculpture to champion personal identities and illustrate the struggle\, survival\, and victory of the queer individual. An internationally acclaimed and award winning performer. Phranc’s work integrates humor and a butch lesbian aesthetic. Her current project\, Phranc Talk: The Butch Closet\, is a multi-media memoir that spans her 40-year career. Phranc lives and works in Santa Monica\, California and Vancouver\, British Columbia.\n\n*Phranc is the 2024 Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.* UID:123255-21850624@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/123255 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:american culture,Art,Exhibition,Feminism,Gender,Humanities,LGBT,visual arts LOCATION:Thayer Academic Building - Institute for the Humanities Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241022T123234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241007T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241007T110000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Amazon Warehouse Virtual Information Session: Hourly roles DESCRIPTION:Amazon Hiring Info Session-Building and supporting an inclusive workforce in our Hourly Roles. \;Come learn about our entry-level warehouse associate positions and celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month with us!. \;No resume or experience necessary.

It contains unique works of ancient Greek philosophy and Roman literature. Many of the 800 papyrus-rolls were opened physically (and thereby badly damaged)\, but around 270 scrolls or parts of them survive in their original condition\, being too fragile to be opened. \n\nSince 2005\, computer scientist Brent Seales has toiled to discover a way to recover their texts without damaging them. His work entailed using CT technology to separate and flatten digitally the successive circumferences and “unroll” the papyrus digitally on screen. The next problem was how to recognize the ink. The latter problem was resolved in 2024 by Casey Craig’s recognition of ‘crackle’ and then the application of Machine Learning. Upon the initiative of Nat Friedman\, who established the Vesuvius Challenge\, and with contributions from many members of the international AI community\, three contestants\, Luke Farritor\, Youssef Nader\, and Julian Schilliger\, won the Grand Prize by producing legible images of Greek text of 16 columns from a roll that is preserved in Paris and was scanned with the Diamond Light Source at Oxford. \n\nAnother Grand Prize has been offered for 2024\, focused on recovering the text from all four scrolls that are in Paris. This one-day conference is timed to bring together papyrologists and experts in Artificial Intelligence to review the progress that has been made\, consider how to address the problems that remain\, and to discuss future directions\, including the potential for the use of AI in work on other collections of damaged manuscripts and in the humanities more widely. On the following day there will be a workshop to exchange ideas. Solutions to present problems and possible future directions may be clarified by a visit to the unique collections housed in the University of Michigan (807 Hatcher Library)\, which include Egyptian\, Greek\, Latin\, Coptic\, and Arabic writings on papyrus\, parchment\, wood\, lead\, waxed tablets\, and potsherds\, Medieval Greek manuscripts on parchment and paper\, and Islamic manuscripts on paper.\n\nVisit our event page for more information: https://midas.umich.edu/vesuvius-scrolls-from-ancient-manuscripts-to-artificial-intelligence/ UID:123708-21851390@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/123708 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ancient Greece,Ancient Rome,Classical Studies,conference,Humanities,Interdisciplinary,Language,Literature,symposium LOCATION:Michigan League - Hussey Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241002T103426 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241007T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241007T110000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Seminar Series in Human Genetics DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next installment of our Fall Seminar Series in Human Genetics on Monday “Genotype Representation Graph: Enabling Efficient Statistical and Evolutionary Analysis of Biobank-Scale Data” by April Wei\, PhD from Cornell University.\n\nSeminar Series in Human Genetics\nMonday\, October 7\, 2024 \n11:00am - 12:00pm\n1020 Kahn Auditorium\, BSRB\n\n“Genotype Representation Graph: Enabling Efficient Statistical and Evolutionary Analysis of Biobank-Scale Data”\n\nApril Wei\, PhD\nAssistant Professor of Computational Biology\nCornell University\, NY\n\nHosted By: Xinjun Zhang\, PhD\nAssistant Professor of Human Genetics\nThe Department of Human Genetics\, University of Michigan Medical School UID:127300-21858829@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127300 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,basic sciences,biolgical chemistry,biological chemistry,biological science,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,cancer,Chemistry,Discussion,epilepsy,Faculty,Free,genetics,genome,genomics,human genetics,Human Genetics\, Genetics\, Neurogenetic Diseases,Information and Technology,lecture,Life Science,lifton,Medicine,Natural Sciences,neel,neurological disease,Postdoctoral Research Fellows,Public Health,Public Policy,Reception,research,Science,seminar,sodium channel,symposium LOCATION:Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building - Kahn Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241007T112046 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241007T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241007T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Latinx Studies RIW October Check-In DESCRIPTION: UID:127126-21858454@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127126 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Haven Hall 3512 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240905T123535 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241007T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241007T140000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS 2024 Fall Colloquium Series. The Evolution of the Palestinian Refugee Camps in Jordan DESCRIPTION:The presentation analyses the political and socioeconomic issues raised by the evolution of the camps' physical and social infrastructure in Jordan since their establishment in the wake of the 1948 and 1967 Arab-Israeli wars. In so doing\, the presentation tackles the gradual development and integration of camps in their local environment\, discussing the way camp refugees\, together with the international (UNRWA) and Jordanian stakeholders have dealt with the dilemmas posed by such integration : how develop camps in line with the evolving needs of the refugees while guaranteeing their temporary nature in the name of the “right of return”\, as supported by numerous UN resolutions? Conversely\, how reconcile the preservation of the camps\, with their generally substandard infrastructure and socially-strained social relations\, and the country’s drive towards urban modernization ? The presentation will also address the « camps’ society » : To what extent do camp refugees constitute specific communities\, socially/politically distinct from neighbouring communities?\n \n Jalal Al Husseini is an associate research fellow in political sociology at the French Institute for the Near East (IFPO). Based in Amman since 1997\, he has specialized in refugee assistance and labor market issues. Holder of a PhD obtained at the Graduate Institute of International Studies (Geneva)\, with a doctoral dissertation on the political dimensions of UNRWA’s mandate\, he is the author of numerous published academic articles and policy-oriented reports\, and the editor of several collective books including Palestinians between State and Diaspora: uncertainty times (2011) and Palestine in Networks (2020) and Migrations in Jordan: Reception Policies and Settlement Strategies (2024). He has also consulted with various international organizations\, including UNRWA\, the EU\, the ILO and foreign cooperation agencies\, on legal status and livelihoods issues specific to the Palestinian and Syrian refugees and their host communities in Jordan and in the Middle East.

Students shift from being bored to inspired and back––moment to moment\, day to day\, class to class. How do students initiate and maintain their own motivation? How can educators facilitate and complement this dynamic process? In this Innovation Insights Research Talk\, Carlton Fong will discuss these issues and more based on his recent meta-analytic study on the role of motivational regulation strategies published in the Journal of Educational Psychology. You’ll learn about what these strategies entail and how they are related to students’ achievement\, engagement\, motivation\, and other learning processes.\n\n\n*Innovation Insights*\nThe Center for Academic Innovation brings together people who want to transform education\, share knowledge\, and increase learner success by hosting inspiring talks\, collaborative problem-solving workshops\, and discussions on the latest in educational research and practice.
