SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Should Universities Strive to Bridge Division?
DESCRIPTION:This panel brings together three former university presidents to explore whether colleges and universities have a responsibility to bridge social\, political\, and religious divides and\, if so\, whether they are succeeding and how they can do better. University of Michigan President Emerita Mary Sue Coleman will moderate the exchange\, which will also feature Brian Rosenberg\, president emeritus of Macalester College and author of *‘Whatever It Is\, I’m Against It’: Resistance to Change in Higher Education*\; and Teresa A. Sullivan\, president emerita of the University of Virginia and former provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Transition Metal Catalyzed Alkylation and Alkenylation of Olefins: New Molecular Catalysts and the Role of Lewis Acidic Oxidants
DESCRIPTION:The selective catalytic functionalization of C–H bonds of hydrocarbons remains one of the foremost challenges facing synthetic chemists. For example\, alkyl and alkenyl arenes are produced on a scale of billions of pounds per year. Current commercial catalysts (e.g.\, Friedel-Crafts or zeolites catalysts) for arene alkylation are based on acid-mediated olefin activation. New catalysts that operate by a distinct reaction pathway that involves transition metal-mediated C–H activation followed by olefin insertion into metal-aryl bonds offer potential advantages. The presentation will focus on the development and study of new transition metal catalysts for arene alkylation and alkenylation based on molecular complexes of Ru\, Rh\, Pd and Pt with an emphasis on the unexpected role of Cu(II) carboxylates that are used as oxidant.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Visualizing Care: Storytelling as Data Visualization at MohenjoDaro
DESCRIPTION:Set in the World Heritage Site of MohenjoDaro (Sindh\, Pakistan)\, Visualizing Care approaches archaeological data visualization through deep mapping. Experimenting with multimodal and accessible forms of archaeological data presentation\, this study explores how care through time can be documented. Within an archaeological context\, the materiality of care can be seen through the intentional making/unmaking of urban design\, architectural features\, and infrastructure. Within a historical and contemporary framework\, care can be visualized through conservation and the relationships between caretakers and the site itself\, drawing attention to the affective aspects of archaeological research. This transdisciplinary project utilizes archival material\, LiDAR and 3-dimensional artifact captures\, ethnographic conversations\, GIS mapping\, sound\, and experiments with mudbrick\, to explore the many different ways of knowing the ancient city of MohenjoDaro.\n\n\nUzma Z. Rizvi is Professor of Anthropology and Urban Studies\, in the Department of Social Science and Cultural Studies\, Pratt Institute\, Brooklyn\, NY. She is also a visiting faculty at Shah Abdul Latif University in Khairpur\, Pakistan. Dr. Rizvi’s work intentionally interweaves archaeology with cultural criticism\, philosophy\, critical theory\, art\, and design. With over two decades of work on decolonizing methodologies\, intersectional and feminist strategies\, and transdisciplinary approaches\, her work has intentionally pushed disciplinary limits\, and demanded ethical decolonial praxis at all levels of engagement\, from teaching to research. She is the PI of the Laboratory for Integrated Archaeological Visualization and Heritage (liavh.org)\, currently working at the 3rd millennium BCE world heritage site of MohenjoDaro\, Pakistan.\n\nThe lecture begins at 4PM EST\, in person at the Kelsey Museum (Room 125). Reception to follow at 5:30PM. \n\nIf you are unable to attend in person\, you may view the lecture via zoom by registering here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Kai9ybzNSoGPYxwjs6lAyQ#/registration

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Empowerment Self-Defense - Pepper Spray
DESCRIPTION:THIS COURSE WILL NOT USE PEPPER SPRAY AS AN APPPLICATION AND PARTICIPANTS SHOULD NOT BRING PEPPER SPRAY WITH THEM TO THE COURSEThis short and comprehensive course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary for the safe and legal use of pepper spray as a self-defense tool in Michigan. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of Michigan's pepper spray laws\, including restrictions and permissible uses\, ensuring compliance and responsible handling. The course also emphasizes the development of essential de-escalation techniques to prevent conflict and effective physical self-defense tactics to protect oneself in dangerous situations. Through practical exercises and expert guidance\, students will emerge more confident and prepared to navigate real-world scenarios safely and legally.\n\n\n
