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. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week\, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history\, culture\, and politics. Presented in association with Insaniyyat: Society of Palestinian Anthropologists.

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.

During this time of swift cultural transformation\, Chinese artists embraced the immediacy of photography to document the changes around them as well as their own thoughts and actions as they shifted their focus away from the collective to prioritize self-expression. This program will bring together key figures in the development of experimental photography in China to look back at these decades and discuss how they came to understand photography as a conceptual art form and the impact of this understanding on their communities and artistic practices.\n\nThis program was initiated by The Triune Brain collective and is presented in partnership with the University of Michigan Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies and the Hirshhorn Museum.\n\nInterpreting provided by Eriksen Translations.

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).

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. 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. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817784@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121548 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240418T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240418T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andrea Carlson Future Cache DESCRIPTION:In Andrea Carlson Future Cache\, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors\, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15\, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A. Wiles\, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text\; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman\, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin\; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides\; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station\, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\, U-M Clements Library\, and U-M Clark Map Library.

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:114750-21833480@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.

Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows\, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way\, too.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and the Oakriver Foundation.\n  UID:86001-21795865@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/86001 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Faculty,Museum,Nature,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240223T151955 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240418T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240418T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Disability Awareness and Inclusion DESCRIPTION:Course details and registration are available on the Organizational Learning website.

Understanding where they occur in space and time is fundamental to addressing those declines and understanding other attributes to their life history. Geolocators attached to individual birds and range maps summarizing the seasonal distributions of species provide two sources of information to estimate migration distance and have revealed important discoveries about the migration journey. Studying migration distance is important because it can influence the timing\, speed\, and duration of migration\, reproduction\, and more. However\, it is not clear how closely aligned the estimates of migration distance are between these two different methods. For this reason\, I compared the migration distance from geolocators and range maps of 24 species of North American passerine birds. Both geolocators and range maps can be a powerful consideration to determine conservation strategies throughout birds’ migration routes.

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:84303-21621263@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:20240503T123135 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240418T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240418T110000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:A recruiter’s guide to preparing for your tech internship DESCRIPTION:On April 18 at 10:30AM PT\, join Handshake’s internships lead and senior business recruiter Stephanie Wharton for a session all about how to prepare for your tech internship.

I will introduce the challenges and opportunities in this field and present the results of our ongoing efforts to identify new defects in diamond with long coherence times and high-quality optical interfaces\, as well as our efforts to controllably create vacancy defects in solid state systems through multiphoton femtosecond laser nanofabrication.

This talk will be recorded for later viewing.\n\nAbstract: The US political arena is a bleak mix of distressing and aggravating\, particularly in the current highly polarized climate\, but that only increases the need to honestly and scientifically understand the forces at play in ideological space. This talk will share some recent and ongoing attempts to visualize and understand the current political landscape\, as well as some quantitative patterns in political psychology and the modern information ecosystem. These recently-gathered data inform a mechanistic dynamical model of ideological drift\, allowing theory to extrapolate the complex implications of micro-scale data to macro-scale outcomes---while iteratively improving and suggesting further data-gathering efforts to corner remaining uncertainty. The first wave of results from this perspective provide some remarkable insights\, providing some hope of understanding and productively informing political messaging and algorithmic design for a more reasonable political future.

The problem becomes particularly challenging when the constraints are unknown\, sometimes adversarial\,\nand must be learned while making decisions. This talk presents some of our recent results on this topic\, focusing on solving unknown CMDPs using model-free approaches.

To safeguard these species and prevent further losses\, it is imperative to deepen our comprehension of taxonomy and evolutionary relationships\, thereby establishing effective conservation priorities. Over the past 15 years\, I have developed a research program in Fish Evolution & Systematics (Fish-ES) aimed at unraveling the forces driving the diversification and evolution of marine fishes\, with emphasis on Gadiformes (codfishes\, hakes\, rattails\, and allies) and other economically significant species.

As our understanding of fundamental immunology and biotechnological methodology accumulates\, this combined knowledge can be leveraged to engineer immunomodulators with the aim of rationally manipulating the immune response. One potentially transformative approach involves engineering microorganisms to produce potent immunostimulatory agents or execute complex immunological tasks. Indeed\, research in synthetic biology has led to the creation of biological matter with profoundly useful immune functions\, including bacteria and bacteria-derived products that perform multistep immune functions such as presenting antigen to and co-stimulating helper T cells in a specific manner\, or providing integrated signals to B cells to induce affinity maturation and isotype switching during antibody production. Along these lines\, our group has developed technologies for custom remodeling of bacterial cell surfaces with protein and small-molecule motifs (for example\, carbohydrates or reactive functional groups) that become packaged in released outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). In this seminar\, I will discuss our efforts to engineer OMVs for delivering carbohydrate antigens to the immune system and provoking robust antibody responses to these notoriously recalcitrant antigens. Our unique ability to boost immunological responses to carbohydrates is enabling the creation of a new class of conjugate vaccines for targeting glycans in disease as well as the discovery of high-affinity antibodies that specifically recognize carbohydrates of interest\, in particular tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens. We anticipate that the synthetic immunology tools developed herein will open the door to new glycan-based therapies with the potential to treat or prevent a diverse range of diseases including autoimmune disorders\, cancer\, and infectious diseases.\n\nBio:\nMatthew P.

As stars emit a wide spectrum of radiation and particles\, these emissions can profoundly influence the formation\, evolution\, composition\, and overall fate of a planet's atmosphere. This discussion bridges the gap between astrophysical phenomena and planetary science\, highlighting how solar/stellar winds\, eruptions\, and high-energy light contribute to atmospheric erosion\, induce chemical reactions\, and potentially drive the dynamics of weather and aurorae on exoplanets. Key to our exploration are systems like TRAPPIST-1\, which are challenging our understanding of atmospheric retention under intense stellar activity\, and the nearby Sun-like stars that will be targeted for habitable planets by the Habitable Worlds Observatory. In this talk\, we will explore recent observations and theoretical models that examine interaction mechanisms between stellar emissions and exoplanet atmospheres. We will also discuss several future space missions that will provide much needed additional stellar data. By understanding the complex dynamics of these critical yet often overlooked interactions\, we can better understand observed exoplanet demographics\, new JWST exoplanet spectra\, and predict which exoplanets might harbor conditions suitable for life as we know it.

When the graph is chordal\, we show that the corresponding statistical model has maximum likelihood degree one\; when the graph is a cycle on n vertices\, we show that the corresponding statistical model has maximum likelihood degree equal to the nth Eulerian number. These results support our conjecture that the spanning tree generating function is a homaloidal polynomial if and only if the graph is chordal. We also provide an algebraic formulation for the defining equations of these models. I will begin by introducing graphical models and homaloidal polynomials (background knowledge in algebraic statistics is not required).

For rapidly decaying solutions\, the inverse scattering method provides a powerful tool for understanding their dynamics. However\, due to the requirement of rapid decay\, inverse scattering techniques cannot be used to analyze even the set of all finite energy solutions. In this talk\, I will survey some recent work on the dynamics of solutions to integrable PDEs in translation-invariant spaces. In particular\, I will discuss several optimal well-posedness results obtained in collaboration with Rowan Killip\, Maria Ntekoume\, and Monica Visan.

Our Graduate Scholars conduct research in collaboration with our six DISCO Network principal investigators: André Brock (Georgia Institute of Technology)\, Catherine Knight Steele (University of Maryland)\, Lisa Nakamura (University of Michigan)\, Rayvon Fouché (Northwestern University)\, Remi Yergeau (University of Michigan)\, and Stephanie Dinkins (Stony Brook University). \n\nIn the 2023-2024 academic year\, we have ten DISCO Graduate Scholars: S. Nisa Asgarali-Hoffman\, Jasmine Banks\, Pruneah Kim\, Pratiksha Menon\, Hagar Masoud\, Tynesha McCullers\, Elise Nagy\, Ria Rajan\, Jessica Rucker\, and David Tortolini. Each DISCO Graduate Scholar will give an eight minute “lightning talk” on their research affiliated with their DISCO Network lab. \n\nGROUP 1: 4:00 - 4:50 PM\n\n“Drifting through the Technosphere” with Ria Rajan (Stony Brook University)\nAs a digital nomad\, I am deeply interested in the present future—specifically\, the cyber future. This is the future I feel most primed for. When I consider this future\, I am self-reflexive about my relationship with cyberspace and the embodied technologies of our daily lives.\n\nGenerationally\, a post-colonial millennial\, who grew up on the move through changing environments and shifting landscapes\, weaving in and out of times and spaces is my modus operandi. This has played a significant role in shaping my relationship to places\, duration and traces.\n\nMovement and stasis are the primary lenses through which I process the world and continue\nto be a source of inspiration and inquiry. This idea of mobility has led to a creative practice that is inherently itinerant and iterative\, with a focus on intangible\, ephemeral and transient experiences –- IRL and online. For this talk\, I will address how my practice-based research highlights ontological modes of production and hybrid media objects. \n\n“BPG[Dot]Com: An Examination of Black Grief and Commemorative Practices in a Digital Context” with Tynesha McCullers (North Carolina State University) \n\"Death is a part of the human experience\; it is inevitable that individuals will experience loss throughout their lifetime so finding ways to grieve and cope will be necessary. Death is a part of the human experience\; it is inevitable that individuals will experience loss throughout their lifetime so finding ways to grieve and cope will be necessary. Cultural rituals and practices surrounding death\, grief and commemoration vary and are shaped by several social positions of the bereaved including religion/spirituality\, race\, gender\, class\, and nationality. Prior to the inception of the internet and in the days before social networking sites (SNSs)\, death and grief were managed based on proximity to the deceased. Today\, the internet has shifted not only the ways people experience dying (Andersson\, 2017) but also how the bereaved cope with death (Willis & Ferrucci\, 2017). Kania-Lundholm (2019) writes “media communication technologies and social media…have contributed to the expansion of death and mourning” so they are no longer simply private but now public and sometimes global events. In a society that is becoming more technologically advanced\, the shift from institutionalized commemorative rituals to personal rhetorical modes of communicating and coping with loss online\, is more common. Therefore\, mourning on social media platforms can be viewed as an extension to various other sociocultural practices as they relate to loss\, grief\, and commemoration.\n\nPrevious research on the use of digital technologies to express grief and cope with loss\, centers itself around six themes – thanatechnology (Sofka\, 1997)\, fans grieving celebrity deaths (Sanderson & Cheong\, 2010)\, cultural expectations in communicating grief (Boss & Carnes\, 2012\; Prigerson & Jacobs\, 2001)\, online grief practices (Lingel\, 2013)\, (in)appropriate etiquette for sharing and reacting to death (Wagner\, 2018) and affordances/limitations of SNS policies for bereaved users (Moyer & Enck\, 2018). While current scholarship on death\, grief\, and commemoration via digital technology is ongoing and presented in a universalizable way\, minimal attention has been given to the roles that demographics play in death and mourning in technology-mediated culture. In an effort to extend the scholarship on death\, grief\, and digital commemoration practices\, this project broadly asks “how have communication technologies impacted the grief and mourning practices of Black people”. By examining Black people’s uses of communication technologies and social media platforms\, in their grief and commemorative rituals\, we can gain a better understanding of ways to support them as they cope with losses that are inevitable.\"\n\n“미역국 (miyeokguk) asmr: Recipes as Ritual in the Computational Present” with pruneah Kim (University of Michigan) \nIn this talk\, I hope to briefly speak on an ongoing project\, titled 미역국 (miyeokguk) asmr\, that investigates the sociopolitical possibilities that open up when we turn to the repetitive but always different motions of ritual in our computational present. If digital capitalism is predicated on prediction\, where does ritual take us? Drawing from Romi Ron Morrison and Loren Britton’s[1] (2021) attention to ritual over prediction\, I want to know what happens when we position recipes as a practice of ritual. Where does this take us? What if we attend to recipes as a mapping of movement\, a choreography\, instead of a means to an end? I’m especially interested in playing around with the genre of recipe\, precisely because of our taken for granted framing of them as a predictive practice. So much so that recipes operate as the base analogy to coding and algorithm\, a full disservice to recipes in my opinion. The attention is paid to the product. And we fail to notice and value the already present movements\, encounters\, intentions\, history\, intellect\, impulses and sociality that occurs around it. My hunch here is that there is a lot to gain in noticing these things. \n\nThis project is part of my broader dissertation research that aims to explore the worldbuilding possibilities of food in BIPOC communities\, especially within queer Asian diasporic communities in North America.\n\n“‘The arms are as long as printed exclamation marks!!’ Women’s Health DIY Print Cultures\, 1970-2016” with Elise Nagy (University of Michigan) \nThis presentation takes up women’s health DIY print cultures of the 1970s and 2010s. I explore the self-representational visual/textual artifacts therein as a kind of “reproductive technology” in their own right. I suggest that these texts raise a particular set of questions and possibilities related to women’s material embodiment\, reproductive capacity\, and anti-determinist claims\, staked on the page and on the body. Primarily glancing off of the earliest edition of what would become Our Bodies\, Ourselves\, then titled Women and Their Bodies: A Course (1970)\, by the Boston Women’s Health Book Collective\; Mira Bellwether’s 2010 zine titled Fucking Trans Women\; and micha cárdenas’ 2016 piece “Pregnancy: Reproductive Futures in Trans of Color Feminism\,” this brief presentation explores how each of these texts can be better understood in conversation with what Michelle Murphy has theorized as the “protocol feminism” of feminist self help: “a form of feminism concerned with the recrafting and distribution of technosocial practices by which the care and study of sexed living-being could be conducted.”\n\nGROUP 2: 4:50 - 5:20 PM\n\n“If You Know\, You Know: Black Digital Culture and the Right to Opacity” with Jasmine Banks (University of Michigan)\nThis research delves into how Black users navigate the complexities of the digital\, leveraging the existence of Black digital spaces that are cultural hubs for everyday discourse and camaraderie\, expression\, and community while challenges and systemic biases still permeate these environments. Drawing on focus group discussions with 19 Black social media users\, I examine the discursive formation “if you know\, you know” a sentiment\, a feeling of just knowing that a meme\, a hashtag\, or online moment was/is a Black cultural moment. I investigate this phenomenon through the lens of opacity—the deliberate choice to eschew transparency as a means of navigating the digital landscape. I discuss how users leverage opacity to foster community bonds\, assert their right to privacy\, and maintain control over their cultural identity within the digital sphere.\n\n“Babri retold: rewriting popular memory through Islamophobic humor” with Pratiksha Thangam Menon (University of Michigan) \nThe strategic mobilization of humor by Hindutva (Hindu nationalist) groups online contributes to the mainstreaming of supremacist ideologies that inform extremist behavior. Analyzing the social media recontextualizations of the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition as case studies\, this talk examines how online instantiations of Islamophobic humor contribute to the Hindutva revisioning of popular memory. This talk expands the understanding of how Islamophobia is normalized through the shifting affective framing of the Babri Masjid demolition\, from shame to schadenfreude\, from tragedy to comedy\, and from a threat to Indian secularism to a necessary act of paternalistic disciplining. Studying these shifts through specific examples of Islamophobic humor builds upon previous insights into: (1) the affective regimes by which Islamophobic ideas are made palatable to a wider audience\, (2) discriminatory speech as an act of pleasure\, and (3) how both of these work toward the reworking of popular memory in service of the Hindutva political project.\n“Keep it Black\, Keep it Brief\, and Keep it Online: Lessons from a Pedagogical Influencer” with Jessica A. Rucker (University of Maryland-College Park)\nUsing Andre Brock’s methodological intervention\, Critical Technocultural Discourse Analysis (CTDA)\, in conjunction with the theories and conceptual frameworks of the Black Radical Tradition\, Black Liberation Pedagogy\, Digital Black Feminims\, Black cyberculture\, and Oscillating Networked Publics\, I ask How does Parking Lot Pimpin’ create openings for audiences to learn about Black life and both understand and take part in the Black Freedom Struggle? My findings\, which draw from Parking Lot Pimpin’ as a case study\, document how Bogues skillfully mobilizes digital tools\, platforms\, and technologies and effectively educates the public about Black life in ways that thrust forward the Black freedom struggle\, by drawing from and adding to Black archives\, and builds on scholarship from the fields of American Studies\, Black Digital World Making/Black Digital Socialities\, Black Vernacular Cultures and Oral Traditions\, and Critical Race Studies.\n\nGROUP 3: 5:20 PM - 6:00 PM\n\n“What’s in my Digital Cup?: Specialty Coffee Roasters and their Digital Discourses of Flavor” with David Tortolini (Purdue University) \nSpecialty coffee roasters in North America utilize flavor and our senses from a Western-centric perspective and reinforce Western-centric worldviews when they showcase coffees on their websites. They approach the way a cup of coffee tastes\, feels\, is described by using Western-centric ideologies and definitions. The Specialty Coffee Association’s Coffee Flavor Wheel is the primary tool used in the industry. As an accompaniment to how the flavors are shown\, you see some coffee roasters weave flavor into storytelling when they are retelling stories of adventure to describe where the coffee comes from and how they were able to source it. Thus\, coffee roasters use flavor as an identity marker and defining tool of communities and populations outside the West. \n\nIn this talk\, we will explore how colonialism has impacted our senses by examining the digitalization of flavor by specialty coffee roasters in the United States. By analyzing these digital spaces\, we will uncover how flavor is used to define and categorize communities and regions across the globe. Additionally\, we will investigate the consequences of relying on Western-centric ideologies to describe our senses in both digital and physical spaces. \"\n\"Parking Lot Pimpin’\, an online series created by Lynae Vanee Bogues\, unequivocally and unabashedly teaches about contemporary Black life and the histories that shape it by using digital tools and platforms in ways that create multiple openings for audiences to learn about\, understand\, and take part in the modern Black freedom struggle. She creates these openings by teaching in the locations and places where Black publics are\, but where accurate\, credible\, and reliable information is not always: social media platforms. In this study\, I consider how Parking Lot Pimpin’ connects to and builds on a long history of African American history-defending\, truth-telling\, and activist memory-work and demonstrate how Bogues is an example of\, a new theoretical approach which I call\, a pedagogical influencer. A pedagogical influencer is a social media user who leverages their content knowledge and technical expertise to establish credibility across various digitally mediated spaces to educate and teach audiences about specific historical topics through a constellation of repeated words\, phrases\, concepts\, mannerisms\, and gestures within a specific economy\, industry\, or field. \n\n“Wooden Room_Wedding Room” with Hagar Masoud (Stony Brook University) \n\"Wooden Room_Wedding Room is a socially engaged\, multimedia installation project that addresses the traumatic impact of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). It sheds light on this violent practice\, which involves the non-medical\, ritual removal of external female genitalia\, often without consent\, and is widely seen as a patriarchal instrument to dominate girls' sexuality. FGM is prevalent across Africa\, Asia\, and the Middle East\, rooted in cultural beliefs about femininity and marriageability. The project aims to raise awareness about the physical and emotional pain inflicted by FGM and advocate for its end\, emphasizing the importance of protecting girls' bodily autonomy. \n\nWooden Room_Wedding Room installation reimagines the colonialized interiors of Egyptian middle-class living rooms in a gallery setting\, where narrators share their experiences of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) that occurred in such spaces. The ambiance includes serving Traditional Egyptian tea and tropical fruits.\n\n“Ambiguously Brown: Resisting the Myth of Racial Authenticity in Genetic Ancestry Testing” with S. Nisa Asgarali-Hoffman (University of Maryland-College Park)\nThis study analyzes YouTube videos made by Caribbean content creators in which they reveal the results of their direct-to-consumer ancestry tests. I analyze these reveal videos\, the user comment threads attached to them\, and the role of YouTube in hosting these videos\, to capture the popular discourse around the relationship between genetics and racial identity. By employing Critical Technocultural Discourse Analysis (CTDA)\, I seek to answer questions of how Caribbean content creators discuss racial identity\, and in particular how online discourses of race negotiate\, codify\, or disrupt neoliberal notions of authenticity.\n\nI focus on videos made by creators who specifically identify as being from the Caribbean or of the Caribbean diaspora. Through the lens of Caribbean Existentialism\, I discuss how content creators and audience discussions around racial identities coalesce into a new project of “racial formation” (Omi & Winant\, 2015). I unpack how racial authenticity is being reconstructed and deconstructed in digital spaces and interrogate the ways in which the conceptualization and mobilization of authenticity are intertwined with white supremacy.\n\nAccessibility statement: We strive to make our events accessible to all participants.

Introducing physical symmetries into these systems can decrease the number of available states\, resulting in a smoother energy landscape. In this talk\, I will show how a specific type of symmetry\, namely permutation symmetry in disordered packings of soft spherical particles\, leads to remarkable order in the distribution of basin volumes on the energy landscape. Breaking this symmetry leads to additional\, distinct configurations for arranging the particles\, thus rendering the landscape more rugged. I will present a novel algorithm that uncovers signs of the regularity initially observed in the landscape with intact symmetry\, within the landscape with broken symmetry.

After that\, I will introduce an equivalent way to define homology with local coefficients that is more algebraic and easier to compute. Finally\, I will present an application of homology of local coefficients by generalizing the Poincare duality to non orientable manifolds.

Winner of four Tony Awards\, *A Little Night Music* has long entranced the world of theatre.\n\nSet in 1900 Sweden\, *A Little Night Music* explores the tangled web of affairs centered around actress Desirée Armfeldt and the men who love her: a lawyer by the name of Fredrik Egerman and the Count Carl-Magnus Malcom. When the traveling actress performs in Fredrik's town\, the estranged lovers' passion rekindles. This sparks a flurry of jealousy and suspicion among Desirée\; Fredrik\; Fredrik's wife\, Anne\; Desirée's current lover\, the Count\; and the Count's wife\, Charlotte. The men and their wives agree to join Desirée and her family for a weekend in the country at Desirée's mother's estate. With everyone in one place\, abundant possibilities for new romances and second chances bring endless surprises.\n\n*A Little Night Music* is full of hilariously witty and heartbreakingly moving moments of adoration\, regret\, and desire. This dramatic musical celebration of love showcases highly trained singers with its harmonically advanced score and masterful orchestrations\, and it includes Sondheim's popular song\, the haunting \"Send in the Clowns.\"\n\nMusic & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim \nBook by Hugh Wheeler\nDirector Telly Leung\nMusic direction by Catherine A. Walker\n\n*FUN FACTS*: When Sondheim wrote “Send in the Clowns” for original actress Glynis Johns\, who had a distinctive voice but struggled to sustain long passages\, he built in frequent pauses for her to breathe. \n\nAside from Glynis Johns\, many notable actresses portrayed Desirée Armfeldt over the years\, including Judi Dench\, Bernadette Peters\, Catherine Zeta-Jones\, and *Ted Lasso*’s Hannah Waddingham.

The piece is lively and fierce\, incorporating elements of Afro-Caribbean styles with hip hop and femme dance.\n\nReina Kitasato’s *I Offer Prosperity and Eternal Life*\, focuses on the concept of the self in relation to others through the lens of nature. The different stages of life and the evolution of one’s self is shown in the dance. Kitasato’s solo\, *Unseen*\, explores her multicultural background and the difficulties posed by having to navigate two communities while maintaining a sense of self. This is conveyed through a unique storyline and detailed movements.\n\nAnnabella Vidrio’s *Reasons I Now Understand* explores themes of cross-cultural communication\, systems of love\, and acceptance of the unknown. This piece\, comprising both her solo and her group choreography\, is largely inspired by her upbringing in a vibrant Mexican-American household and throughout the dance\, Vidrio incorporates modern techniques and traditional Mexican folkloric dancing. The work is supported in part through the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance’s EXCEL Enterprise Fund and the Arts Initiative's Student Mini Grant.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A.

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:114750-21833481@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.

Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways.

These actions\, in the form of product or firm bans\, may affect market competition and possibly the demand for the whole product category. We analyze the ban of Nestlé's Maggi\, the largest producer of instant noodles in India\, for alleged non-compliance with health safety standards. Maggi returned to the stores six months later when The High Court at Bombay ruled the ban unjustified. We show the presence of negative spillovers to competitors\, which led them to decrease their sales in the first months of the ban. We also document substantial heterogeneity in consumers' responses to the ban according to political preferences and government alignment. Using a structural model of consumer and firm behavior\, we separately identify demand and supply responses to the ban. Through counterfactuals\, we show that the ban had a substantial impact on consumer surplus. Further\, 45 percent of the overall effect was due to spillovers of the ban to the entire instant noodles category\, while the rest resulted from changes in market structure. \n\n\nThis talk is presented by the Applied Microeconomics/Industrial Organization Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Jean Coven Speakers Fund in Economics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

Currently\, the collective has over 50 scholars. \n\nThe 1st ROLE Collective Symposium will take place this year online on April 12th (keynotes and short talks) and April 19th (workshop). The theme of this symposium is “Rejecting Harmful Native Speaker/Signer Ideologies.”\n\nStructure of the Symposium\nThe one-week difference between Day 1 and Day 2 is to ensure that any attendees who may not have been able to attend some or all of the talks on Day 1 will have enough time to watch the videos and be prepared for the second day. In addition\, though all of the short talks will be uploaded online only\, and not broadcast synchronously on Day 1\, there will be a synchronous discussion of these talks on Day 2.\n\nDay 2 will begin with a structured discussion of the short talks. Then\, participants will split up into at least 5 themed breakout rooms to work together to discuss how to address harmful notions of language in various contexts. These contexts include research practices (e.g.\, how to ethically and accurately capture differences in language experience\, how to implement conceptual changes via novel statistical methods\, how to recruit participants without relying on the native speaker/signer construct)\, clinical assessments (e.g.\, creating resources about how language ideologies can lead to misdiagnoses of individuals whose language practices are marginalized\, and advocating for the further development of assessment materials which are inclusive of a broader range of language/varieties)\, admissions processes (e.g.\, creating white papers for graduate and undergraduate programs to eschew native speaker/signer ideologies in assessments of the language of incoming students)\, evaluation of academic language (e.g.\, creating guidelines for editors and reviewers to assess the language of submitted manuscript/grant application without relying on the native speaker construct)\, communicating with the public (e.g.\, creating public-facing information for the affirmation of all kinds of language experience)\, and whatever other priorities are identified by participants – participants’ priorities will be identified via a survey distributed after the first symposium day and before the workshop day.

To assess a data point’s impact on the model\, we remove it from the dataset and aim to understand the model’s behavior when trained on the remaining data. This scenario is relevant in various classical and modern applications\, including risk estimation\, outlier detection\, machine unlearning\, and data valuation. Conventional approaches involve training the model on the remaining data\, but these can be computationally demanding. Consequently\, researchers often resort to approximate methods. This talk highlights that in high-dimensional settings\, where 𝑝 is either larger than 𝑛 or at the same order\, many approximation methods may prove ineffective. We will present and analyze an accurate approximation method tailored for high-dimensional regimes\, elucidating the conditions for its accuracy. In the concluding part of the presentation\, time permitting\, we will briefly discuss some of the unresolved issues in this domain.

You’re Going to Need to Get Critical\n\nAbstract: \nCritical theories — think\, intersectionality\, critical race theory\, structural racism\, for example — are those that expose\, interrogate\, and challenge power by highlighting the social\, structural\, political\, and economic determinants of health. Critical approaches offer a stark contrast to the primarily individualistic\, biomedical\, psychosocial theories and frameworks that still dominate most doctoral social and behavioral science programs. With a handful of exceptions\, people’s thoughts\, beliefs\, attitudes\, and behaviors about HIV testing\, condom use\, PrEP\, and HAART adherence remain the primary focus of doctoral-level HIV education. Structural and political determinants of health\, and the constraints they impose on the ability of groups historically marginalized at multiple intersections (e.g.\, racialized/ minoritized\, sexual and/or gender minority\, and low SES) to engage in health promoting behaviors are rarely a focus of doctoral training. But they should be. The indomitable Audre Lorde admonished that the “Master’s tools will not dismantle the Master’s house.” This is also true of conventional approaches to HIV prevention and treatment research. More than four decades into the HIV epidemic and despite PrEP and HAART\, HIV still disproportionately affects Black and Latino gay\, bisexual\, and other men who have sex with men\, transgender and nonbinary people\, and Black and Latina women who have sex with men. These intersectional HIV inequities spotlight a dire need for a more critical approach to Ending the HIV Epidemic\, than the conventional theoretical approaches used thus far. This talk will address what it means to get critical about HIV prevention and treatment research\, some strategies for doing so\, and why SOAR students should consider critical and structural perspectives to be essential to their future HIV research careers.\n\nSYMPOSIUM DETAILS:\nAccessibility Alert: We are asking all attendees to avoid wearing fragranced personal products (like perfume or scented lotions) to accommodate attendees with fragrance allergies.

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:84303-21621264@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:20240320T152805 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240419T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240419T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Fridays @ RMC Seminar Series - Diving Deep: Leveraging Museum Collections to Understand the Drivers of Fish Biodiversity in a Changing Planet DESCRIPTION:This is part of our monthly seminar series at the RMC. \n\nPreview: Museums play a pivotal role in scientific research by granting access to vast collections of biological specimens. A few years ago\, the cost of sequencing genomes was prohibitively expensive. However\, with advancements in technology and economies of scale\, the prices have significantly dropped. As a result\, we are now able to sequence the genomes of hundreds of species using techniques such as exon capture\, genome skimming\, and soon chromosome-level genomes. Our current challenge lies in bridging the gap between traditional museum collections and modern genetic research. This integration opens new avenues for scientific discovery and conservation efforts\, ultimately contributing to our understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem conservation.\n\nIn this presentation\, I'll take you on a journey through my career\, highlighting the pivotal role of museum personnel and museum specimens in shaping my interdisciplinary research program focused on the evolution and systematics of marine fishes\, with an emphasis on gadiforms and other commercially important species. Utilizing voucher specimens and associated materials such as tissue samples and otoliths\, I am investigating how evolutionary patterns and the underwater environment influence the genomic diversity and connectivity of marine fishes. These findings are communicated to management agencies and other stakeholders\, providing valuable insights for monitoring and conservation projects. Additionally\, I will emphasize how my research intertwines with outreach and education efforts\, aiming to not only advance scientific knowledge but also foster a sense of stewardship for our oceans within and beyond the museum walls.

It draws on an innovative new dataset\, the Higher Ed Protest Dataset\, which combines machine learning and sociological hand-coding of more than 16\,000 campus newspaper articles. We identify 5\,488 distinct U.S. and Canadian higher ed protest events involving 585 universities and colleges between 2012 and 2018. The goals of the paper are twofold: to characterize major patterns in social movement activity in higher education and to develop a multi- institutional framework of higher education politics that attends to both protest and protest management. In both countries\, much higher ed protest centers university administration and governance. The frequency of protest is patterned by the academic calendar\, which facilitates an essential strategy university leaders use to manage protest: wait until the summer. Other recurring higher ed protest issues differ by country: in the United States\, anti-racism\, labor\, and national politics of Trump and police violence and\, in Canada\, public university tuition and labor conditions. A few issues are the focus of major protest waves. Likewise\, administrations and police tend to avoid direct intervention during protest events\, with some outlier cases such as the 2012 “Maple Spring” tuition protests in Montreal and protest-counterprotest encounters involving Trump’s presidency and the far right. Findings contribute to the critical sociological study of social movements at the intersection of higher education\, organizations\, and policing.

When these systems are too large to solve directly\, iterative refinement methods such as conjugate gradient have proven to be a powerful alternative. The computational cost of these methods can be significantly affected by a problem-dependent condition number\, which is often addressed by combining the iterative solver with a preconditioner\, i.e.\, an easy to invert approximation of the original system. However\, constructing a good preconditioner can still be very expensive\, which leads to an undesirable trade-off between the cost of preconditioning and the cost of solving the linear system.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present new stochastic iterative methods for solving linear systems based on the so-called Sketch-and-Project paradigm\, which can reduce the condition number of the system without having to precondition it. This approach is based on the following phenomenon: Whenever the spectral structure of a linear system is amenable to constructing a strong preconditioner via low-rank matrix approximation\, we can design a Sketch-and-Project solver that will implicitly take advantage of this to find the solution faster. In particular\, I will show how this leads to solving an n x n linear system with at most k large (outlying) singular values in ~O( n^2 + n k^2 ) arithmetic operations\, which is faster than the ~O( n^2 k ) cost of constructing a good preconditioner for this system.\n\n\nContact: Robert Krasny UID:114772-21833587@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114772 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240328T181721 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240419T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240419T160000 SUMMARY:Performance:Andrew Choi & Ellen Hayashi\, violin DESCRIPTION:Undergraduates Andrew Choi & Ellen Hayashi perform a recital on the violin.

Researchers have proposed various ecological and evolutionary hypotheses explaining this pattern\, but such explanations are contingent upon the absence of Paranthropus being a \"true\" pattern. Observed absence\, however\, is consistent with two mutually exclusive outcomes: Paranthropus never occupied the Afar\, or it did but just has not been found yet.

Tackling them will require responses at the level of policy\, culture\, and technology1. One of the most valuable tools available has the advantage of almost 4 billion years of modification and fine-tuning via evolution: microbes. By taking advantage of microbiological processes\, we can build technologies that will revolutionize our economies. One such technology is microbial electrosynthesis (MES). MES takes advantage of bacteria that consume electrons via a process called extracellular electron uptake (EEU). By feeding microbes electricity\, we can produce a range of bio-commodities such as bioplastic and biofuel using substrates like organic carbon-rich wastes or even carbon dioxide (CO2). However\, before such a technological feat is scalable\, we must understand the fundamental mechanisms at play and develop proof-of-concept prototypes. Only then can we design systems capable of economically feasible\, industrial scale bioproduction. Here\, we discuss the underlying biology\, highlight our lab’s work pertaining to EEU and MES\, and outline future directions.

Earlier in 2023\, the G7 ministers of climate\, energy\, and environment issued a communication committing to maximize use of existing reactors\, work collaboratively to develop secure supply chains for fuel\, technology\, and human resources\, and to working domestically and with partner countries to build advanced reactors. These policies forecast rapid growth of nuclear in the US and partner countries over the coming decades. This presentation covers global policies related to nuclear as well as the programs and legislation in the US and EU intended to accelerate progress towards these goals and the social and legal obstacles to their attainment.\n \nBio\nTara Righetti is the Occidental Chair of Energy and Environmental Policies at the University of Wyoming. She holds appointments in the School of Energy Resources\, and College of Law\, and the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources. She is also the co-director of the nuclear energy research center. Professor Righetti's research focuses on property law and administrative regulation of the energy and decarbonization sectors. Her most recent interests include research into heat systems\, licensing processes for advanced reactors\, and uses of pore space in federal lands for carbon sequestration. She was recently appointed to the White House Federal Lands CCS Permitting Task Force and is a member of the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to the International Standardization Organization technical committee for CCUS.

Winner of four Tony Awards\, *A Little Night Music* has long entranced the world of theatre.\n\nSet in 1900 Sweden\, *A Little Night Music* explores the tangled web of affairs centered around actress Desirée Armfeldt and the men who love her: a lawyer by the name of Fredrik Egerman and the Count Carl-Magnus Malcom. When the traveling actress performs in Fredrik's town\, the estranged lovers' passion rekindles. This sparks a flurry of jealousy and suspicion among Desirée\; Fredrik\; Fredrik's wife\, Anne\; Desirée's current lover\, the Count\; and the Count's wife\, Charlotte. The men and their wives agree to join Desirée and her family for a weekend in the country at Desirée's mother's estate. With everyone in one place\, abundant possibilities for new romances and second chances bring endless surprises.\n\n*A Little Night Music* is full of hilariously witty and heartbreakingly moving moments of adoration\, regret\, and desire. This dramatic musical celebration of love showcases highly trained singers with its harmonically advanced score and masterful orchestrations\, and it includes Sondheim's popular song\, the haunting \"Send in the Clowns.\"\n\nMusic & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim \nBook by Hugh Wheeler\nDirector Telly Leung\nMusic direction by Catherine A.
