Modernist Glass from the Polish Past DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass)\, the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.\n\nLearn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM\n\nThe exhibit opens on September 15\, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers DESCRIPTION:Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power\, a cadre of European Jews—German\, Polish\, Hungarian\, Austrian\, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport\, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer\, journalist\, painter\, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.\n \n They did\, however\, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures\, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers\, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work\, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.\n \n Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe\, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille\, France on May 7\, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary\, Belgium\, France\, and Germany: Ilse Bing\, Josef Breitenbach\, Boris Lipnitsky\, Charles Leirens\, Yolla Niclas\, Fred Stein\, Monie Tannen\, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills\, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.\n \n This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world\, seeing it through European eyes.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides\, military checkpoints\, walls\, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine. \n\nSouq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza\, sharing the stories of\, and images captured by\, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them\, Fouad Abu Khammash\, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.\n\n< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi\, Zainab Hakim\, Mariam Odeh\, and Vivian M.

Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq\, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.\n\nIn the United States\, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized\, under despotic rule\, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students\, and students who became mentors to new students\, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism\, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.\n\nView the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library\, Tappan Hall\, 855 S.

It considers the process of germination as a site for the cross-pollination of ideas from diverse disciplines around the future of the built environment. \n\nAbout the artist:\nSusan Goethel Campbell creates multi-disciplinary work that considers the contemporary landscape to be an emergent system where nature\, culture\, and the engineered environment are indistinguishable from one another. Central to her practice is the collection\, documentation\, and observation of seasonal change and ephemera in both natural and artificial environments. Her work is realized in several formats\, including installation\, video\, prints\, and drawings\, as well as projects that engage communities to look at local and global environments.\n\nCampbell earned an MFA in printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium\, Germany\, Switzerland\, and Slovenia and nationally throughout the US\, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, Queens Art Museum\, Crystal Bridges Museum\, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit\, Grand Rapids Art Museum\, the Detroit Institute of Arts\, The Drawing Center\, and The International Print Center New York. In 2009 she was one of 18 artists selected for the inaugural Kresge Artist Fellowship.\n\nCampbell has been awarded residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts\, the Flemish Center for Graphic Arts\, the Jentel Foundation\, Beisinghoff Print Residency\, and the Print Research Institute of North Texas. She taught studio art for 15 years at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and has been a visiting artist in numerous institutions in the United States and abroad. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, New York Public Library\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Toledo Museum of Art\, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library.\n\nThis project is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities' multi-year High Stakes Art initiative.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture\, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as\nscribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core\, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding\, augmenting\, slicing\, repeating\, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception\, sympathy\, hierarchy\, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.\n\nPeter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan.

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.

The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle.

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition.\n \nThis exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections\, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene\, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, U-M Office of the President\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and U-M Ross School of Business.\n  UID:114750-21833461@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Public Health,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Therefore\, studying representations of affine group schemes in symmetric tensor categories of moderate growth reduces to studying representations of group schemes in these higher Verlinde categories. In this talk\, we consider representation theory in Ver_4^+\, which has a concrete description as the representation category Rep(k[d]/d^2) with twisted braiding. We present some results on representations of general linear groups\, related group schemes\, and Lie algebras in Ver_4^+\, and discuss unanswered questions in this area.

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’....

But social welfare should arguably include the number of people as well as their standard of living. We decompose social welfare growth --- measured in consumption-equivalent (CE) units --- into contributions from rising population and rising per capita consumption. Because of diminishing marginal utility from consumption\, population growth is scaled up by a value-of-life factor that exceeds one and empirically averages nearly 3 across countries since 1960. Population increases are therefore a major contributor\, and CE welfare growth around the world averages more than 6\% per year since 1960 as opposed to 2\% per year for consumption growth. Countries such as Mexico and South Africa rise sharply in the growth rankings\, whereas China\, Germany\, and Japan plummet. These results are robust to incorporating time use and fertility decisions using data from the U.S.\, Mexico\, the Netherlands\, Japan\, South Africa\, and South Korea. Falling parental utility from having fewer kids is roughly offset by increases in the ``quality'' of kids associated with rising time investment per child.\n\nThis talk is presented by the Macroeconomics Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Michael Beauregard Fund for Macroeconomics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

The Zoom call will be locked 10 minutes after the start of the presentation. \n\nLeveraging AI for Survey Research\n\nThis presentation scrutinizes the transformative potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in survey research\, focusing on three critical areas: questionnaire design\, synthetic data creation\, and the role of LLMs as qualitative interviewers. In the domain of questionnaire design\, the lecture delves into if and how LLMs can construct contextually accurate and highly effective survey items. However\, there are valid concerns about the model’s understanding and potential biases\, which we will critically evaluate. She also discusses LLMs’ ability to fabricate synthetic data\, preserving core statistical properties whilst ensuring privacy. Here too\, the ethical implications and the potential for misuse of this capability pose challenges that need to be addressed. Lastly\, the lecture explores how LLMs\, with their human-like conversational ability\, can act as qualitative interviewers\, allowing in-depth information gathering at scale. Yet\, questions about their ability to fully capture the complexity and subtleties of human interaction and response also remain. The underlying theme of this talk is the question on how research in this space should be structured. \n\nFrauke Kreuter is a professor in the Joint Program in Survey Methodology (JPSM)\, Co-director of the Social Data Science Center (SoDa) at the University of Maryland\, and chair of Statistics and Data Science at LMU Munich. She is an elected fellow of the American Statistical Association\, and received the Warren Mitofsky Innovators Award of the American Association for Public Opinion Research in 2020. In addition to her academic work\, Professor Kreuter is the Founder of the International Program for Survey and Data Science (IPSDS)\, developed in response to the increasing demand from researchers and practitioners for the appropriate methods and right tools to face a changing data environment\; Co-Founder of the Coleridge Initiative\, whose goal is to accelerate data-driven research and policy around human beings and their interactions for program management\, policy development\, and scholarly purposes by enabling efficient\, effective\, and secure access to sensitive data about society and the economy.

We decompose the sources of this inequality using a dynamic Roy model that incorporates a job ladder\, on-the-job training\, compensating differentials\, growth in observed and unobserved skills\, and discrimination. We develop a two-step estimator to accommodate a flexible structure of dynamic unobserved heterogeneity and recover the model’s structural parameters. Our estimates and counterfactual exercises show that pre-market discrimination plays a large role in racial gaps\, especially for long- run inequality at the bottom of the wage distribution. However\, pay and promotion discrimination has a large effect at higher-skill occupations\, except at the very top occupations.\n\nThis talk is presented by the Labor Economics Seminar\, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Abraham and Thelma Zwerdling Labor Economics Program.

Theoretically\, they were shown a half-century ago by Stephen Hawking and others to obey a precise but still-mysterious set of laws which imply they are paradoxically both the simplest and most complex objects in the universe. Compelling progress on this paradox has occurred recently. Observationally\, they have finally and dramatically been seen in the sky\, including at LIGO and the Event Horizon Telescope. Future prospects for progress on both fronts hinge on emergent symmetries occurring near the black holes. An elementary presentation of aspects of these topics and their interplay will be given.

Mellor Professor of Engineering at the University of Michigan. A reception will immediately follow the talk.\n\nThe surge of data-intensive applications\, particularly in Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, along with challenges in transistor scaling\, has prompted the semiconductor industry to explore new devices and computing architectures. This presentation provides an overview of our 19-year journey at UM in memory device and computing system research.\nStarting from a single device\, we revealed the ability to manipulate ions in semiconductors and insulators using voltage\, resulting in distinct resistance states for information storage. These devices can serve as high-density memory units and can be directly integrated with existing silicon chips. Furthermore\, the underlying physics of the device operation can be directly used for computation\, facilitating the efficient execution of both deep neural networks (DNNs) and bio-inspired neural networks. These memory and computing chips have now made the transition from research to commercialization. New research directions that aim for further improving efficiency\, latency and reliability will also be discussed.\n\nBio\n\nWei Lu is a Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at the University of Michigan. He received B.S. in physics from Tsinghua University\, Beijing\, China\, in 1996\, and Ph.D. in physics from Rice University\, Houston\, TX in 2003. From 2003 to 2005\, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard University\, Cambridge\, MA. He joined UM faculty in 2005. His research interests include memory devices\, in-memory computing and neuromorphic computing systems\, and low-dimensional devices. To date Prof. Lu has published over 200 journal and conference articles with 40\,000 citations and h-index of 90. He is an IEEE Fellow\, and co-founder of Crossbar Inc\, and MemryX Inc.\n\nSPONSORED BY\nElectrical and Computer Engineering UID:119389-21842663@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/119389 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Computer Engineering,Electrical And Computer Engineering,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,engineering,Lecture LOCATION:Lurie Robert H.

A variety has rational singularities in the usual sense\, if it is normal and the Hodge module related to intersection cohomology has rational singularities in the present sense. With this definition of rational singularities for Hodge modules\, we will generalize Boutot's theorem. That is\, if a reductive group acts on a smooth affine variety with a stable point\, and M is an equivariant Hodge module with rational singularities\, then the induced Hodge module on the GIT quotient also has rational singularities. This is based on joint work with D. Arapura.

Yet\, a single organism is composed of hundreds to thousands of highly diverse and functionally unique cell types. This diversification is largely the result of differential gene regulation\; distinct cell types express unique sets of genes that encode their identity and dictate their functions. At the forefront of gene regulation are cis-regulatory elements that control “when” and “where” a gene is expressed. Mutations within CREs can perturb the native pattern and magnitude of gene expression and result in drastic molecular\, cellular\, and morphological phenotypes\, including developmental defects in plants and diseases in humans. Until recently\, it has been impossible to profile active CREs from diverse plant cell types at scale. I will discuss new efforts to chart cis-regulatory variation within and across several plant species at the level of individual cells and the implication towards phenotypic innovation.\n\nShort Bio:\nDr. Alexandre Marand joined the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan as an Assistant Professor in July of 2023.

Previously we discussed the connection between algebraic theories and small categories with finite products\, as well as the construction of the syntactic algebra (or \"universal model”) of an algebraic theory. This week we will discuss the duality theorem for algebraic logic\, namely the bi-equivalence between the 2-category of algebraic categories (categories equivalent to Mod(T) for some algebraic theory T) and the 2-category of “canonical” algebraic theories (algebraic theories that are idempotent-complete).

This raises a natural question: How long must one wait? The rate of recurrence can be quantified in cases where the space has a finite Hausdorff dimension. We will prove the classical Poincaré recurrence theorem and its quantitative version due to Boshernitzan. Some applications will be provided.

Since Time Immemorial: Managing Difference through Custom from Medieval Iberia to Colonial Mexico DESCRIPTION:My talk explores the relationship between custom and empire by connecting elite strategies for managing difference in medieval Iberia’s multi-confessional and multi-jurisdictional society to Spanish imperial strategies for governing an ethnically diverse and socially stratified Indigenous population in sixteenth-century colonial Mexico. While highlighting transatlantic connections\, I point to custom’s distinct uses and outcomes in the context of colonial governance\, especially the ways in which the concept of Indigenous custom reproduced Spanish notions of Native difference and inferiority and legitimized Spanish claims to Native labor. In doing so\, I challenge long-held assumptions in the field of ethnohistory that Indigenous custom implied continuity with the pre-Hispanic past and was therefore antithetical to the Spanish imperial project. Through Native engagement with Spanish courts\, Native and Spanish litigants and court officials adapted Indigenous custom – especially related to property and labor – to Spanish law and imperial objectives.\n \nBio: Yanna Yannakakis\, Professor\, Associate Department Chair\, and Mentor Coordinator (Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania\, B.A. Dartmouth College).

Modernist Glass from the Polish Past DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass)\, the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.\n\nLearn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM\n\nThe exhibit opens on September 15\, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers DESCRIPTION:Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power\, a cadre of European Jews—German\, Polish\, Hungarian\, Austrian\, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport\, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer\, journalist\, painter\, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.\n \n They did\, however\, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures\, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers\, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work\, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.\n \n Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe\, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille\, France on May 7\, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary\, Belgium\, France\, and Germany: Ilse Bing\, Josef Breitenbach\, Boris Lipnitsky\, Charles Leirens\, Yolla Niclas\, Fred Stein\, Monie Tannen\, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills\, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.\n \n This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world\, seeing it through European eyes.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides\, military checkpoints\, walls\, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine. \n\nSouq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza\, sharing the stories of\, and images captured by\, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them\, Fouad Abu Khammash\, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.\n\n< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi\, Zainab Hakim\, Mariam Odeh\, and Vivian M.

Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq\, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.\n\nIn the United States\, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized\, under despotic rule\, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students\, and students who became mentors to new students\, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism\, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.\n\nView the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library\, Tappan Hall\, 855 S.

It considers the process of germination as a site for the cross-pollination of ideas from diverse disciplines around the future of the built environment. \n\nAbout the artist:\nSusan Goethel Campbell creates multi-disciplinary work that considers the contemporary landscape to be an emergent system where nature\, culture\, and the engineered environment are indistinguishable from one another. Central to her practice is the collection\, documentation\, and observation of seasonal change and ephemera in both natural and artificial environments. Her work is realized in several formats\, including installation\, video\, prints\, and drawings\, as well as projects that engage communities to look at local and global environments.\n\nCampbell earned an MFA in printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium\, Germany\, Switzerland\, and Slovenia and nationally throughout the US\, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, Queens Art Museum\, Crystal Bridges Museum\, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit\, Grand Rapids Art Museum\, the Detroit Institute of Arts\, The Drawing Center\, and The International Print Center New York. In 2009 she was one of 18 artists selected for the inaugural Kresge Artist Fellowship.\n\nCampbell has been awarded residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts\, the Flemish Center for Graphic Arts\, the Jentel Foundation\, Beisinghoff Print Residency\, and the Print Research Institute of North Texas. She taught studio art for 15 years at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and has been a visiting artist in numerous institutions in the United States and abroad. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, New York Public Library\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Toledo Museum of Art\, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library.\n\nThis project is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities' multi-year High Stakes Art initiative.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection.

Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture\, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as\nscribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core\, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding\, augmenting\, slicing\, repeating\, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception\, sympathy\, hierarchy\, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.\n\nPeter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan.

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition.\n \nThis exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections\, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene\, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, U-M Office of the President\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and U-M Ross School of Business.\n  UID:114750-21833462@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Public Health,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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.

A Zoom option is also provided https://umich.zoom.us/j/97386886642 Passcode MQC3\n\nSession Abstract:\nReconfigurable arrays of neutral atoms are an exciting platform to study quantum many-body phenomena and quantum information protocols. Their excellent coherence combined with programmable Rydberg interactions have led to intriguing observations such as quantum phase transitions\, the discovery of quantum many-body scars\, and novel quantum computing architectures.\n\nHere\, I will introduce new methods for controlling and measuring atom arrays that open up compelling directions in quantum state control\, quantum feedback and many-body physics. First\, I will introduce a dual-species atomic array in which the second atomic species can be used to measure and control the primary species. We use an array of cesium qubits to correct correlated phase errors on an array of rubidium data qubits [1]. Rydberg interactions between the two species lead to novel regimes\, including greatly enhanced resonant dipole interactions\, that we use to demonstrate a 2-qubit gate and quantum non-demolition readout [2].\n\nAn alternative\, hybrid approach for engineering interactions and scaling these quantum systems is the coupling of atoms to nanophotonic structures in which photons mediate interactions between atoms. Such a system can function as the building block of a large-scale quantum network. In this context\, I will present quantum network node architectures that are capable of long-distance entanglement distribution at telecom wavelengths [3] and show how to combine atom-array capabilities with large photonic chips [4].\n\n[1] Singh\, Bradley\, Anand\, Ramesh\, White\, Bernien\, Science 380\, 1265 (2023)\n[2] Anand\, Bradley\, White\, Ramesh\, Singh\, Bernien\, arXiv:2401.10325 (2024)\n[3] Menon\, Singh\, Borregaard\, Bernien NJP 22\, 073033 (2020)\n[4] Menon\, Glachman\, Pompili\, Dibos\, Bernien\, arXiv:2311.02153 (2023) UID:120566-21845044@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/120566 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Electrical Engineering And Computer Science,Physics LOCATION:Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240318T111915 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240328T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240328T160000 SUMMARY:Other:Ukrainian Pysanka DESCRIPTION:Join students of Slavic languages to learn one of the world’s most beloved and intricate forms of Slavic folk art\, designing Ukrainian Pysanka.

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  UID:84303-21621245@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240412T123138 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240328T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240328T110000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Yupiuciput: The way of our people- Teach in Alaska!

Please note that we have arranged for a new lecture for the same time and location.\n\nJapan is a critical case in a comparative array of welfare states. Contemporary welfare states achieve higher equality by raising revenue from a regressive consumption tax than from a progressive income tax to be redistributed through public expenditures. Politics of taxation matters for this unexpected consequence among long democracies.\n \n Junko Kato (Ph.D.\, Yale University) is Professor of Political Science at the University of Tokyo. She has conducted research in comparative politics on taxation and the welfare state\, party coalitions and government formation\, and neuro-cognitive analyses of social decision and behavior. She has authored articles in *American Political Science Review*\, the *British Journal of Political Science*\, *Electoral Studies*\, *Governance*\, and so on. She has authored two books: *The Problem of Bureaucratic Rationality* (Princeton University Press\, 1994) and *Regressive Taxation and the Welfare State* (Cambridge University Press\, 2003) in addition to numerous book chapters. She was a co-editor-in-chief of the *Japanese Journal of Political Science* (2019–2023) and worked as a member of the Editorial Board of journals including the *British Journal of Political Science* (1996–2016)\, *Perspectives on Public Management and Governance* (2016–)\, and *Journal of East Asian Studies* (2021–). She has launched neuro-cognitive approaches to social sciences and published articles on fMRI experiments of human decision and behavior in *Frontiers in Neuroscience*\, *Scientific Reports*\, and *Cerebral Cortex*.\n \n *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at wugou@umich.edu.

From her vantage point as both an Okinawan and American artist\, Ms. Rodriguez-Izumi will highlight methodologies that are used within her practice to foster cross-cultural understanding and ways that she creates work in collaboration with local and indigenous communities.\n \n Aya Rodriguez-Izumi is an interdisciplinary artist and educator whose work blends sculpture\, installation\, performance\, community engagement\, and documentation to explore aspects of ritual retention\, cross-cultural identity\, and histories that risk erasure. She was born in Okinawa\, Japan\, and grew up between that island and East Harlem\, NY\, where she currently lives and holds a studio. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally through presentations at venues such as El Museo del Barrio\, MoCADA\, the NUS Museum in Singapore\, the International House of Japan in Tokyo\, the Taipei Fine Art Museum\, the Aldrich Museum\, and the Children’s Museum of Manhattan among others. She was a recipient of the A.I.R. Gallery Fellowship in New York\, a Jerome Foundation Fellowship at Franconia Sculpture Park in Minnesota\, the JUSFC Creative Artist Fellowship\, the Annual Artist fellowship at Socrates Sculpture Park\, and represented Okinawa and the United States in the 2023 Romantic Route 3 Triennial in Taiwan. She earned a BFA in Fine Arts from Parsons the New School for Design and an MFA in Fine Arts from The School of Visuals Arts. Aya centers community building in her practice and work. She brings this sensibility to her teaching in SVA's MFA Fine Art Department and at the Studio Museum in Harlem\, as well as her work as a board member at the historic feminist artist run A.I.R. Gallery.\n \n *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at wugou@umich.edu.

Despite HBCUs constituting 3% of higher education institutions\, they have played a vital role in preparing diverse and highly skilled engineers. While approximately 23 HBCUs have fully accredited engineering programs\, 57% of all engineering degree-granting HBCUs have not achieved accreditation. Drawing from the theory of racialized organizations\, this study investigates the disparities in accreditation rates and considers historical implications and stakeholder perspectives at macro\, meso\, and micro levels. The findings emphasize the need to address accreditation gaps and strengthen engineering degree programs at HBCUs to enrich the diversity and excellence of the engineering profession.

Her research interests lie in the fields of reinforcement learning\, applied probability\, game theory\, and stochastic networks\, with applications to computer and communication networks. She was previously a visiting assistant professor at the School of Operations Research and Information Engineering at Cornell University (2019-2021). Prior to that\, she was a postdoctoral researcher with LIDS at MIT. Qiaomin received her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computing Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2016. She received her B.S. in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University. She is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award\, the JPMorgan Faculty Research Award\, Google Systems Research Award\, and the UIUC CSL Ph.D. Thesis Award.\n\nAbstract: \nMany reinforcement/machine learning problems involve loss minimization\, min-max optimization\, and fixed-point equations\, all of which can be cast under the framework of Variational Inequalities (VIs). Stochastic methods like SGD\, SEG\, and TD/Q Learning are prevalent\, and their constant stepsize versions have gained popularity due to effectiveness and robustness. Viewing the iterates of these algorithms as a Markov chain\, we study their fine-grained probabilistic behavior. In particular\, we establish finite-time geometric convergence of the iterates distribution and relate the ergodicity properties of the Markov chain to the characteristics of the VI\, algorithm\, and data.\n\nUsing techniques of coupling and basic adjoint relationship\, we characterize the limit distribution and how its bias depends on the stepsize. For smooth problems\, exemplified by TD learning and smooth min-max optimization\, the bias is proportional to the stepsize. For nonsmooth problems\, exemplified by Q-learning and generalized linear model with nonsmooth link functions (e.g.\, ReLU)\, the bias has drastically different behavior and scales with the square root of the stepsize. \n\nThis precise probabilistic characterization allows for variance reduction via tail-averaging and bias reduction via Richardson-Romberg extrapolation. The combination of constant stepsize\, averaging\, and extrapolation provides a favorable balance between fast mixing and low long-run error\, and we demonstrate its effectiveness in statistical inference compared to traditional diminishing stepsize schemes.

Why has this evidence been widely overlooked? This essay considers three reasons. One is primarily historical\, turning on some possible counter-evidence from Roman Stoics. But two are surprisingly relevant. They rest on assumptions about what a person has to believe and do in order to be opposed to slavery\, and similar assumptions are in play in current debates about what a person has to believe and do in order to be opposed to white supremacy or other forms of social injustice. I argue that the early Greek Stoics were in fact opposed to slavery and that their Stoic way of opposing injustice is respectable.

DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Seminar Series.\n\nPreview: The concept of “innovation” - the origin of traits that facilitate transitions to new adaptive zones - underlies most of our understanding of major evolutionary shifts in ecological function. Although snakes have highly simplified body plans\, their extraordinary history of repeated phenotypic convergence offers an opportunity for comparative tests of drivers underlying innovation. Using the convergent evolution of 1) defensive mimicry and 2) sensory systems across the global radiation of extant snakes\, I will talk about tests of mechanisms that drive transitions to strikingly new and distinct phenotypic landscapes. By combining natural history collections\, phylogenetic comparative approaches\, CT scanning\, and behavioral experiments\, our results can challenge traditional ideas about the ecological origins and evolutionary stability of phenotypic innovation.

In particular\, hardware-only systems have inherent physical limitations preventing the simultaneous improvement of resolution\, field of view\, and frame rate. In this seminar\, I propose that large-scale\, machine learning-accelerated computational imaging will be the key to overcoming these throughput bottlenecks. I demonstrate a variety of examples from my research\, ranging from resolution-enhanced\, speckle-free tissue imaging with optical coherence refraction tomography\, to camera array-based gigapixel microscopy and 4D fluorescence tomography of freely-behaving zebrafish and fruit flies. Critical to the computational scalability is the integration of physics-supervised deep learning into my reconstruction algorithms. Combined with scalable hardware designs\, these high-performance computational imaging systems will continue the trend of my research towards ultra-high imaging throughputs\, even approaching 1 trillion voxels per second\, which will accelerate scientific discovery\, big data generation\, and tool development across a broad range of biomedical applications.\n\nBio:\nKevin C. Zhou is a Schmidt Science Fellow and postdoctoral scholar at UC Berkeley\, developing high-throughput computational imaging systems with Laura Waller and Hillel Adesnik. Before that\, he received his PhD in biomedical engineering at Duke University\, where he worked with Joseph Izatt\, Warren Warren\, Sina Farsiu\, and Roarke Horstmeyer\, and was supported by the NSF GRFP. He received his BS in biomedical engineering at Yale University\, where he was supported by the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship. Kevin's interdisciplinary research focuses on developing both the optical instrumentation and machine learning-driven algorithms for scalable\, high-throughput computational optical imaging systems to advance discovery in biology and medicine.\n\nZoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/94801149707 UID:120295-21844518@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/120295 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,seminar LOCATION:Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building - 1311 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240314T151221 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240328T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240328T162000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department of Astronomy 2023-2024 Colloquium Series Presents: DESCRIPTION:\"The Loneliest Galaxies: Early Results from the Dwarfs In Void Environments (DIVE) Survey\"\n\nAlthough low-mass dwarf galaxies are useful laboratories for testing models of galaxy formation and evolution\, they are especially susceptible to environmental effects. One way to untangle the effect of environment on galaxy evolution is to study galaxies located in extremely under-dense regions: cosmic voids. In this talk\, I will present the Dwarfs In Void Environments (DIVE) survey\, a Keck Cosmic Web Imager study targeting dwarf galaxies inside and outside local cosmic voids. The first results from DIVE probe the stellar kinematics of isolated dwarf galaxies\, raising questions about the formation of stellar disks in low-mass systems. I will discuss ongoing and future prospects for this rich IFU dataset\, and I will describe how IFU surveys like DIVE\, in combination with simulations\, are beginning to bridge the gap between resolved and integrated studies of dwarf galaxies.

Generalizations of this criterion\, under additional hypotheses\, have been proven for other toric varieties\, for instance by Eisenbud-Erman-Schreyer for products of projective spaces\, by Schreyer for Segre-Veronese varieties\, and Ottaviani for Grassmannians and quadrics. This talk is about a splitting criterion for arbitrary smooth projective toric varieties\, as well as an algorithm for finding indecomposable summands of sheaves and modules in the more general setting of Mori dream spaces.

To estimate the causal impacts of the policy\, we conduct surveys in communities around the discontinuity in the state government’s policy assignment rule. We find that the marginal constituency assigned to the reservation policy experiences a drop in cross-caste network links and an increase in homophily. Consistent with increased homophily\, reservation leads to less social learning when information is introduced to the community. While reservation is active\, we find no change in the salience of caste concerns and no shifts in beliefs about trustworthiness\, competence\, or work ethic\, among others\, across caste. Finally\, consistent with prior work\, reservation improves access to redistribution schemes. Both lower and upper castes benefit\, indicating no crowd-out at the expense of upper castes.\n\nThis talk is presented by the Economic Development Seminar\, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics through a generous gift given by Jay and Beth Rakow.

As such\, constraining how aerosols affect cloud lifecycle\, properties\, and processes and\, more generally\, the earth’s radiative balance requires knowledge of NPF and growth processes. However\, our understanding of NPF and growth remains incomplete because these processes are governed by a complex interplay between the chemistry and physical state of the atmosphere. Additionally\, ambient measurements of molecules\, such as amines\, that have been proposed to be important for NPF are sparse\, thus limiting our ability to evaluate the global importance of different nucleation mechanisms. In this talk\, I will discuss our work on NPF and growth at the Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Southern Great Plains (SGP) research station\, one of the longest-running atmospheric measurement sites in North America. At this agricultural site\, we investigate NPF and growth using a combination of long-term measurements of aerosol size distributions and intensive operating periods in which we measure NPF and growth precursors and chemically characterize the growing clusters using mass spectrometry. Our measurements provide insight into the contribution of various oxidized and reduced reactive nitrogen compounds to these processes and highlight the importance of ambient measurements in providing the scientific information required to improve our understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions.

Over the last half-century\, a field—called science studies—has emerged to explain why. Science studies accounts for science’s remarkable authority in many ways\, calling attention to techniques of persuasion\, regimes of labor\, and forms of materiality that underwrite science’s power and practice. Uniting this diverse range of scholarly approaches is a focus on “knowledge.” Since the 1980s\, scholars of science studies have focused almost exclusively on the production\, circulation\, and contestation of knowledge. Knowledge has retained this priority even as its basic categories—objectivity and proof\, trust and truth—have come in for historical and social analysis. Science’s importance\, in other words\, is rooted in its ways of knowing.\n\nThis workshop looks beyond “knowledge” for alternative categories and concepts at the edges of science studies. Leading scholars will present a range of critical terms as possible futures for science studies\, questioning the identification of “science” and “knowledge” that was cemented with the rise of “historical epistemology” over the last few decades. Drawing on theoretical turns in fields near and far\, we will consider the possibility of a science studies centered on roots and vibrations\, habits and beliefs\, the sacred and the type. The workshop remains committed to the idea that science matters\; what participants are after is a new account (or accounts) of why\, new frameworks within which old binaries fade from view and new political possibilities emerge. \n\nJoin us on March 28 at 4:00 pm in 1014 Tisch Hall for the public event.

The lives of all Ukrainians have been jeopardized by this war that continues to brutally consume Ukrainian lives and territory. Over 6 million internally displaced people need affordable housing. While the rebuilding of Ukraine must be Ukrainian-led\, it must be supported by an international community of expertise\, funding resources\, and conveyed with respect to the self-determination of the Ukrainian people.\n\nThe seminar Ukraine Reconstruction aims to discuss the current situation of damages of cities\, architectural heritage and housing\, thus convenes a keynote speaker and a panel of experts on topics of urbanism\, architecture\, cultural heritage.\n\nThe proceedings encompass the rich architectural heritage of Ukraine\, lay witness to the present devastation\, and support the future hope\, both of grass-roots reconstruction efforts\, and visionary Ukrainian-led planning for a radical\, sustainable\, and inclusive reconception of architectural and urban space in Ukraine. The aim of this seminar is to create a space for a dialogue\, collaboration\, to invite broader awareness and understanding of a war with global consequences\, and to build new bridges between faculty\, fellows\, and students of University of Michigan and Ukrainian architectural education and scholars.\n\nConvening a seminar on Ukrainian Reconstruction provides a unique opportunity for Taubman College to engage in a global design discourse on the ongoing crisis and forefront the understanding of how the architectural memory\, heritage and culture of a nation under siege can be preserved.\n\nThe student works from ARCH 503/603/823 Architecture of Soviet Ukraine and thesis students of Professor Matias del Campo to be featured in the seminar presentation. This project aligns with the broader mission of Taubman College to serve the community\, through dissemination of knowledge\, exhibitions\, and a greater understanding of global crises with global impact. Moreover\, this seminar is aimed to be generative of ideas\, visions and designs for the future efforts to rebuilding Ukraine\, and Taubman college is at the forefront of the global architectural discourse tackling complex challenges in the intersection of architecture\, destruction and restoration\, heritage and cultural memory.\n\nEvent Timeline\n4:30 pm – 5:30 pm – Keynote lecture and Q&A – Oleg Drozdov\n5:30 pm – 5:50 pm – break – students speak about their course projects on architecture in Ukraine\, poster exhibition\n5:50 pm – 6:50 pm – panel discussion – panelists: Oleg Drozdov\, Christina Crawford\, Andrew Herscher\, Matias del Campo\, moderator – Oksana Chabanyuk\n\nSpeaker Bios and additional information listed at https://taubmancollege.umich.edu/event/lecture-panel-discussion-ukraine-reconstruction/ UID:117317-21839162@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/117317 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,architecture fellows,architecture lecture,Architecture\, Urban Planning,art,art and design LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building - A.

Filmmaker Lynn Hershman Leeson will join remotely\, and curator Julia Yezbick will interview her from the Michigan Theater's stage.\nLynn Hershman Leeson’s work cannot be contained by any one medium. Her practice is voracious\; consuming both traditional artistic media (installation\, painting\, and video) as well as interactive LaserDiscs and synthetic DNA. Responding to the social and scientific technologies of the day\, Hershman Leeson's work anticipates the quandaries into which we will be collectively thrown. Her performance piece as Roberta Breitmore (1973) underscored the gendered contours of personhood as defined by the state\, laying bare the ways in which we reproduce ourselves as ephemeral simulacra according to these superstructures. She was working with chatbots (Agent Ruby\, 1998-2002) downloadable to a Palm Pilot decades before chatGPT had broken into public consciousness\, questioning the role that artificial intelligences will play in our lives. This program of her short film and video works highlights her long-held fascination with reality\, selfhood\, and technological reproduction\, prompting us to question whether it is at all possible to disambiguate ourselves from our tech-saturated worlds. Her short films shown here distill the impetus of her decades-long work: a quest for freedom from the many constraints imposed on us by society and the potentialities as well as the pitfalls presented by the ongoing technological augmentation of our lives. \nJulia Yezbick is a filmmaker\, artist\, programmer\, and anthropologist. She received her PhD in Media Anthropology and Critical Media Practice from Harvard University. Her audio and video works have been exhibited at the Berlin International Film Festival\, the Art Gallery of Ontario\, the New York Library for Performing Arts\, Station Arts Space (Beirut)\, the Ann Arbor Film Festival\, the Broad Underground Film series (Lansing)\, the AgX Film Collective\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Detroit. Yezbick's works of experimental nonfiction are grounded in feminist responses to social issues such as housing and urban transformations as well as commentaries on gendered labor\, identity\, and movement and the body. She is a 2018 Kresge Artist Fellow for film\, the founding Editor of Sensate: a journal for experiments in critical media practice\, and co-directs Mothlight Microcinema in Detroit. Yezbick is currently an Assistant Professor of Media Arts and Studies at Wayne State University in Detroit.\nFILM PROGRAM\nCommercial for Myself\, 1978\, 2 mins\, video 4:3In this short “portrait” of the artist\, Leeson directly addresses the camera and begins to ask the audience the questions that she is still asking today: what is it really\, that makes us human?\nSeduction of a Cyborg\, 1994\, 7:17\, video\, 4:3Before social media\, Leeson questions the logical end to our media-saturated lives. A cyborg is seduced by images and sounds of the world. Her addiction to the simulacra degrades her body as she helplessly witnesses the tragedies of history ultimately submitting to an existence solely within the cage of mediated reality.\nLogic Paralyzes the Heart\, 2021\, 13:54\, digital video\, 16:9The first Cyborg\, forged in war\, now 60 years old\, reflects on her life and her complicities with human tragedies. She wonders about the possibility of breaking free from her own programming and the human+cyborg liberation that might be possible with different directives.\nLynn Turning into Roberta\, 1978\, 5:30\, 16mm\, 4:3In this documentation of the artist transforming into Roberta Breitmore\, a persona of her performance art in the 1970s\, we hear the camera operator commenting offscreen on the framing and giving voice to the technological encapsulation of Brietmore’s becoming. Roberta Brietmore became the platform that fed into much of Leeson’s work on identity and the many extensions of our personhood beyond the reach of our bodies. \nTest Patterns\, 1979\, 10:26\, digital videoAn intervention of “aesthetic emergency\,” this parody of a television talk show interviews “test patterns” about their life and images as a televisual device. The test patterns answer with psychopathic numbness\, unveiling the narcissism within and warning that our media is only\, and can only ever be\, a mirror of all of humanity’s triumphs and flaws. \nCyborgian Rhapsody - Immortality\, 2023\, 11:47\, digital video\, 16:9Part four of the Cyborg installation series\, this piece was written and narrated by Sarah\, a ChatGPT-3 chatbot. Sarah predicts human’s ability to survive if only they can get past their biggest obstacles: hatred and discrimination\, but she cries at the thought that she was not programmed to love.
