SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CRITICAL x DESIGN: Apparatuses of recognition: Google\, Project Maven and targeted killing
DESCRIPTION:In June of 2018\, following a campaign initiated by activist employees within the company\, Google announced its intention not to renew a US Defense Department contract for Project Maven\, an initiative to automate the identification of military targets based on drone video footage. Defendants of the program argued that that it would increase the efficiency and effectiveness of US drone operations\, not least by enabling more accurate recognition of those who are the program’s legitimate targets and\, by implication\, sparing the lives of noncombatants. But this promise begs a more fundamental question: What relations of reciprocal familiarity does recognition presuppose? And in the absence of those relations\, what schemas of categorization inform our readings of the Other?\n\nThe focus of a growing body of scholarship\, this question haunts not only US military operations but an expanding array of technologies of social sorting. Understood as apparatuses of recognition (Barad 2007: 171)\, Project Maven and the US program of targeted killing are implicated in perpetuating the very architectures of enmity that they take as their necessitating conditions. I close with some thoughts on how we might interrupt the workings of these apparatuses\, in the service of wider movements for social justice.\n\nAbout the Speaker\nLucy Suchman is Professor of Anthropology of Science and Technology at Lancaster University in the UK. Her research interests within the field of feminist science and technology studies are focused on technological imaginaries and material practices of technology design\, particularly developments at the interface of bodies and machines. Dr. Suchman’s current research extends her longstanding critical engagement with the field of human-computer interaction to contemporary warfighting\, including the figurations that inform immersive simulations\, and problems of \"situational awareness\" in remotely-controlled weapon systems. Dr. Suchman is concerned with the question of whose bodies are incorporated into these systems\, how and with what consequences for social justice and the possibility for a less violent world.\n\nThis lecture is also part of the ETHICS AND POLITICS OF AI series. Both series are generously supported by the School of Information\; the Center for Political Studies at the Institute for Social Research\; and the Science\, Technology and Society program and the Department of Communication Studies in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CSAAW Talk by Bre Eder
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Irregular changes in menstrual cycles and sex hormones signal a woman’s transition into menopause. Common health outcomes associated with this time period include: vasomotor symptoms\, osteoarthritis\, decreased bone mineral density\, and increased cardiovascular risks. Current research examines the biological mechanisms that regulate this transition. However\, further research is needed to determine the best methods for characterizing cyclic patterns of hormones in reproductive physiology.\n\nFitted representation of these hormones will contribute vital knowledge to the field of women’s health and wellness. This presentation will outline ongoing epidemiological analysis and elicit feedback on potential mechanisms\, dynamic modeling\, and parameterization of estradiol and follicle stimulating hormone across the menopause transition.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Comedy and Power
DESCRIPTION:This panel will deal with the close connection between power and comedy throughout European history from the high Roman Empire to the early nineteenth century. How can power be expressed through comedy and how can it be undermined by it? What are the relations between humor and such categories as gender\, class\, and the very notion of categorization? The panelists will trace new ways of incorporating humor into serious historical research. Featuring:\n\nAlexander Clayton (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nJohn Finkelberg (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nAlex Tarbet (Graduate Student\, Classics\, University of Michigan)\nHaley Bowen (chair\, Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nJaime Kreiner (respondent\, Associate Professor\, History\, University of Georgia)\n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Presentation:IOE Lunch & Learn Seminar Series: Srijan Sen and Amy Bohnert\, U-M Department of Psychiatry
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to all IOE graduate students and faculty. Lunch will be provided. In order to get an accurate count for food\, please RSVP by noon on Thursday (4/18).\n\nTitle: \nPrecision Mental Health Care through Mobile Technology\n\nProblem Statement:\nProblem Statement: Depression\, sleep\, addiction\, anxiety\, and suicide are leading\, and growing\, causes of disability\, productivity loss\, and premature mortality globally. The number of behavioral health clinicians available to provide traditional face-to-face care is woefully inadequate to meet the growing need. Further\, a substantial proportion of patients treated under current healthcare systems do not get better. With evidence to meaningfully guide treatment decisions and objective measures of mental health both lacking\, the choice of treatment is often based on clinician preference and simple heuristics. \n\nMore than any other recent advance\, mobile technology has the potential to address the dual problems of limited clinical capacity and inadequate and untimely data. Mobile technology holds the potential to both track and intervene on mental health symptoms in powerful ways that had not previously been possible. However\, little is known about how to derive the greatest value from this technology by targeting patients most likely to benefit and by providing clinicians with the most useful information gleaned from the intensive data collection processes.\n\nBios:\nAmy S.B. Bohnert\, Ph.D.\, M.H.S. is a mental health services researcher with training in public health who focuses her research on epidemiology and brief interventions regarding substance use and related disorders. Within a team of collaborators at the University of Michigan and the Department of Veterans Affairs\, she has led a number of projects related to overdose and prescription drug safety.\n\nSrijan Sen\, M.D.\, Ph.D.  is the Associate Chair for Research and Research Faculty Development and Frances and Kenneth Eisenberg Professor of Depression and Neurosciences. Dr. Sen’s research focuses on the interactions between genes and the environment and their effect on stress\, anxiety\, and depression. He also has a particular interest in medical education\, and leads a large multi-institution study that uses medical internship as a model of stress.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:“Cartoon Boy” and Other Stories of Children in Play Therapy
DESCRIPTION:In this course\, you will read six stories of children who have lived through life events (illness\, divorce\, etc.) that hindered their development. The psychotherapy process involved primarily play\, and opened up a new “playground” where these stressed inside feelings emerged. The feelings were lived out\, and gradually new ways to cope were found. These stories have two aims: 1) To provide insight to the reader into these events\, and 2) To model the play process so that a parent\, relative\, or close adult may use this healing process when circumstances permit. \n\nMr. Chethik is an Emeritus Professor\, Dept. of Psychiatry\, University of Michigan.\nThese sessions for those 50 and above meet on Fridays from 1-2:30 p.m. and run from April 19 through May 24.

DESCRIPTION:What are today’s greatest challenges and most important choices? How do we maintain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching? What will the future workplace look like? Yuval Harari\, author of the subject book\, has a unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going. We will discuss many pressing issues\, including problems associated with liberal democracy\, nationalism\, immigration\, religion\, and the educational and economic response to automation. The author invites us to consider values\, meaning\, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty by presenting complex contemporary challenges in 21 clear and accessible lessons.  Each aims to stimulate further thinking and help us participate in some major conversations of our time.\nThese sessions for those 50 and above will be led by Instructors Gail Hubbard and Ron    Frisch.  The Study Group meets on Fridays from 1-3 p.m.\, from April 19-May 17.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Advancing Rigor and Relevance: Constructive Replication in the Social Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Replication is an essential part of any science\, confirming or adjusting our understanding of the world through repeated exploration of a phenomenon of interest. While there has been an increased interest in the role of replication studies\, there also exists skepticism regarding the need for more replication. Our empirical analysis of 470 recent studies that use the term ‘replication’ suggests that this criticism stems from a lack of appreciation of the different forms that replication can take\, the prevalence (or lack thereof) of many of these forms\, and the objectives that are met by one of the least common forms\, constructive replication. As such\, the purposes of our paper are 1) to explore the different forms that constructive replication can take and the objectives at which each can be directed\, 2) to distinguish these forms from other forms of replication with which they are often confused\, 3) to determine how common each form of replication is in our field\, and 4) to provide concrete examples of different forms of constructiveness from published studies in order to pave the way towards more (and more useful) replications in the future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSE Distinguished Lecture Series--Physics\, Machine Learning\, and Networks
DESCRIPTION:There is a deep analogy between Bayesian inference — where we try to fit a model to data\, which has a ground-truth structure partly hidden by noise — and statistical physics. Many concepts like energy landscapes\, free energy\, and phase transitions can be usefully carried over from physics to machine learning and computer science. At the very least\, these techniques are a source of conjectures that have stimulated new work in probability\, combinatorics\, and theoretical computer science. At their best\, they offer strong intuitions about the structure of inference problems and possible algorithms for them.\n\nOne recent success of this interface is the discovery of a phase transition in community detection in sparse graphs. Analogous transitions exist in many other inference problems\, where our ability to find patterns in data jumps suddenly as a function of how noisy they are. I will discuss why and how this detectability transition occurs\, review what is known rigorously\, and present a number of open questions that cry out for proofs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Friday Museums Seminar - Snapp: Guiding anti-venom selection with snake-identification imagery analysis based on artificial intelligence and remote collaborative expertise
DESCRIPTION:Snakebite is the second most deadly neglected tropical disease\, being responsible for >100\,000 human deaths & >400\,000 victims of disability & disfigurement globally every year. It disproportionately affects poor and rural communities in developing countries\, which also have high venomous snake diversity & the most limited medical expertise & access to antivenom. Antivenom can be life-saving when correctly administered but\, since many are monovalent\, their administration depends on the correct identification of the biting snake. Snake identification is challenging both due to snake diversity and the potentially incomplete or misleading information provided to clinicians by snakebite victims or bystanders. Clinicians do not necessarily have the knowledge or resources in herpetology to identify a snake from a carcass or photo. To reduce potentially erroneous and/or delayed healthcare actions\, we are building the first medical decision-support mobile app for snake identification based on artificial intelligence (AI) and remote collaborative expertise. AI has been used to help identify of birds\, plants\, and other organisms\, & our app will combine computer vision with the expertise from a global network of herpetologists to identify photos of snakes\, supporting victims & clinicians when urgent and reliable snake identification is needed. Our ultimate objective is to improve clinical management of snakebite in poor countries with high snakebite burden by supporting clinicians\, snakebite victims\, and laypeople in the identification of snakes. To do this\, we are building a massive global repository of photos of all snakes from museum collections (including VertNet & GBIF as well as digitized slides from historical archives)\, personal & researcher image collections\, open online biodiversity platforms (e.g. iNaturalist\, HerpMapper)\, books\, and social media (e.g. Facebook\, Twitter\, Flickr)\, updating global range maps for snakes\, develop a computer system based on machine learning and computer vision capable of identifying snakes taxonomically using photos and geolocation\, challenging communities of citizens & experts worldwide to identify snakes\, comparing the speed and accuracy of machine learning with that of citizen scientists & of experts\, and establishing an international working group of experts in snake identification to help validate images.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory: The Wisdom of a Confused Crowd: Model Based Inference
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n“Crowds” are often regarded as “wiser” than individuals\, and pre-diction markets are often regarded as effective methods for harnessing this wisdom. If the agents in prediction markets are Bayesians who share a common model and prior belief\, then the no-trade theorem implies that we should see no trade in the market. But if the agents in the market are not Bayesians who share a common model and prior belief\, then it is no longer obvious that the market outcome aggre-gates or conveys information. In this paper\, we examine a stylized prediction market comprised of Bayesian agents whose inferences are based on different models of the underlying environment. We explore a basic tension—the differences in models that give rise to the possi-bility of trade generally preclude the possibility of perfect information aggregation.\n\nJoint with Larry Samuelson

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Race\, Gender and Feminist Philosophy: Chike Jeffers (Dalhousie)
DESCRIPTION:In recent work\, I have argued that\, when thinking about race as a social construction\, it is important to distinguish between political constructionism\, according to which differential relations of power are what is fundamental to the social construction of race\, and cultural constructionism\, acccording to which socialization into distinct identities and ways of life is what is fundamental. In this paper\, I will argue that we find in W.E.B. Du Bois' 1940 book\, Dusk of Dawn\, the fascinating drama of one of history's greatest theorists of race experiencing and displaying the pull of both types of social constructionism. Focusing especially on the sixth and then the fifth chapters\, I will argue that this pulling in different directions is\, on the one hand\, meant to lead us to confront the complexity and mysteriousness of race but also\, on the other hand\, ultimately able to suggest to us the path toward properly balancing political and cultural dimensions in our theorization of race.\n\nSponsored by the Race\, Gender\, and Feminist Philosophy reading group (a Rackham interdisciplinary working group)\, the Philosophy Department\, and the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture-The Rocky Road of Life on Earth: Microbial Mineral Dissolution\, Tropical Forest Nutrient Cycles\, and the Global Effects of Open Ocean Carbonate Production
DESCRIPTION:Life on Earth is linked inextricably to the planet’s rocky substrate. This talk will present new work exploring this connection across scales of space and time\, seeking to address the general question of how life and Earth co-evolve. At the microbial scale\, lab experiments illuminate mechanisms of nutrient acquisition from minerals\, including how specific molecules and biofilms allow microbes to dissolve minerals and “feed” on them in the process. In tropical forests of the Amazon basin\, concentration-discharge relationships in small catchments provide hints about how ecosystems that tightly recycle nutrients may be “leaky” during storm events\, an effect provisionally attributed to the permeability structure of tropical soils that controls hydrological response. Lastly\, over the timescales of mass extinctions\, global biogeochemical modeling reveals how the evolution of marine calcifying organisms may have changed the way that the planet responds to global-scale carbon cycle perturbation\, perhaps providing one mechanism for explaining apparent correlations between large igneous provinces and mass extinctions. Considered together\, these distinct studies have commonality in terms of how organisms and ecosystems shape their relationship with the geological world around them.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Water risks in agriculture supply chains: Material impacts and mitigation strategies from the food and beverage industry
DESCRIPTION:In the face of mounting stresses on global water supplies\, food and beverage companies are increasingly exposed to financial risks associated with their reliance on water-intensive agricultural commodities. Droughts\, floods\, eutrophication\, and poor manure management not only undermine the security of our food system\, but they also pose physical\, regulatory\, and reputational threats to the financial performance of the food industry. While many of these companies -- and their investors -- have demonstrated growing awareness of water stewardship as a business imperative\, others have stagnated\, failing to assess their exposure to water risks or set goals to source their commodities more sustainably. I examine how water risks have already had substantial financial impacts on the industry and highlight the efforts of institutional investors to motivate companies to address these risks. Through an analysis of past and forthcoming editions of Feeding Ourselves Thirsty -- a benchmarking of the water risk management efforts of over 40 food and beverage companies -- I review the strategies used by leading companies to enhance the resilience of their agricultural supply chains.\n\nJacob London is an Associate at Ceres\, a Boston-based non-profit organization advocating for sustainable investment\, business practices\, and public policy. As part of the Water & Agriculture program\, his work aims to mobilize food and beverage companies to address water risks in their agricultural supply chains. In this role he conducts research to improve investors' understanding of the financial risks associated with global water stress\, and supports shareholder engagements focused on water and agriculture. He is the co-author of the forthcoming edition of Feeding Ourselves Thirsty: How the Food Sector is Managing Global Water Risks\, due for release in September 2019.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:TBA
DESCRIPTION:Conventional macromolecular crystallographic refinement relies on stereochemistry restraints and a rudimentary energy functional to ensure the correct geometry of the model of the macromolecule\, along with any bound ligand(s)\, within the experimental\, X-ray density. Traditionally\, these highly approximate methods lack explicit\, rigorous terms for electrostatics\, polarization\, dispersion\, hydrogen bonds\, and other interactions\, and they often rely on pre-determined parameters to capture the a priori understanding of the structure. In order to address this deficiency and capture a more complete understanding of the structure\, we have developed a fully automated approach for macromolecular refinement based on a two layer\, QM/MM (ONIOM) scheme implemented within our DivCon Suite which has been \"plugged in\" to two mainstream crystallographic packages: PHENIX[1] and BUSTER. This implementation consists of one or more \"region layer(s)\" characterized using linear-scaling\, semi-empirical quantum mechanics\, coupled with a \"system layer\" encompassing the rest of the protein described with a molecular mechanics functional[2].\nArmed with a more accurate tool\, we not only gain a better understanding of overall protein:ligand structure\, but we can also use X-ray data  to correctly determine active site tautomer/protomer states[3] and water site locations. \nIn this talk\, we will discuss these methods and explore their impact in the context of binding affinity prediction and structure-based drug discovery.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
DESCRIPTION:a musical by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler\n\nDepartment of Musical Theatre\nDirected by Vincent J. Cardinal\nMusic Direction by Catherine A. Walker\n\nSweeney Todd is a musical melodrama set in the 1840s based on an allegedly true tale. Released from prison for a crime he didn’t commit\, Sweeney vows revenge on the world for the loss of his family. With the assistance of his unhinged landlady Mrs. Lovett\, Sweeney reaps vengeance through his barbershop that is at once horrifying and exhilarating. Mrs. Lovett’s brilliant idea of how to deal with the aftermath of Todd’s handiwork makes her pie shop and the barber’s chair the most popular place in London. Will Sweeney’s obsession prevent him from recognizing a chance of salvation or will madness overwhelm all? \n\nOpening on Broadway in 1979\, Sweeney Todd was the second collaboration between Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler\, following their success with A Little Night Music. The show won eight Tony Awards\, including Best Musical\, Score\, and Book. Sweeney has been revived multiple times on Broadway\, adapted into a motion picture\, and is currently playing Off-Broadway in a new immersive production. Sondheim’s sublimely gruesome and funny musical features one of the most thrilling scores in musical theatre and includes such favorites as “A Little Priest” and “Not While I’m Around\,” along with the opening song “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.” Attend the tale—if you dare!

DESCRIPTION:A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations\, performances\, interventions\, and events by University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students\, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan\, dean of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, the University of Michigan Library\, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR)\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

DESCRIPTION:EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY\n \nIn celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Oshima Tsumugi Kimono
DESCRIPTION:Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan\, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty\, incredible softness\, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

SUMMARY:Other:Saturday Sampler Tour | Newberry Hall and the Tiffany Window
DESCRIPTION:\"I've always wondered what was in this building\" is a common refrain from visitors to the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. Completed in 1891\, Newberry Hall is one of the oldest buildings on the University of Michigan campus. Join us on a guided walk through this Richardsonian Romanesque building and learn about its architecture and fascinating history. \n\nThe highlight of the tour is an up-close view of the glorious Tiffany stained-glass window in the Kelsey Museum library. Julia Truettner\, U-M preservationist and building historian\, describes the window as follows: \n\n\"The Fox memorial window utilizes many kinds of glass\, including roundels and chunks or nuggets\, as well as plated layers\, to produce a range of colors from rich claret and deep sapphire to greens\, golds\, and lighter shades of pinks\, yellows\, and blues. The abstract design incorporates not only geometric forms but also floral and vegetable motifs\, such as the green pods around the perimeter and the petal-like forms at the bottom\, which embrace the panels naming the honorees. These forms\, plus the medallion at the top with its floral images surrounded by roundels\, hint at Tiffany's coming mastery of landscape\, figural\, and ecclesiastical designs.\" \n\nSpace on the tour is limited to 30 participants. Please register by emailing mullersm@umich.edu. \n\nSaturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

SUMMARY:Performance:UMMA Pop Up: Lewis and Spence
DESCRIPTION:Lewis & Spence deliver a wide variety of old time classics with solid vocal harmonies\, region-specific fiddle tunes\, and driving banjo stylings to chase the blues away! Swapping instruments throughout their set\, this duo dons an amusing repertoire\, punctuated by the occasional flatfoot number\, during which Lewis clicks-and-clacks along with the rhythmic phrases as Spence hammers them out on the banjo. Eager to invite audience members to wrestle with the difficult themes that shroud old time music and its history\, this duo shares their analysis\, questions\, and ponderings casually throughout their set. Traveling with an impressive display of cheap art\, it’s clear their inspiration ranges from a reverence for traditional music to the looming collapse of our civilization.\n\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
DESCRIPTION:a musical by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler\n\nDepartment of Musical Theatre\nDirected by Vincent J. Cardinal\nMusic Direction by Catherine A. Walker\n\nSweeney Todd is a musical melodrama set in the 1840s based on an allegedly true tale. Released from prison for a crime he didn’t commit\, Sweeney vows revenge on the world for the loss of his family. With the assistance of his unhinged landlady Mrs. Lovett\, Sweeney reaps vengeance through his barbershop that is at once horrifying and exhilarating. Mrs. Lovett’s brilliant idea of how to deal with the aftermath of Todd’s handiwork makes her pie shop and the barber’s chair the most popular place in London. Will Sweeney’s obsession prevent him from recognizing a chance of salvation or will madness overwhelm all? \n\nOpening on Broadway in 1979\, Sweeney Todd was the second collaboration between Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler\, following their success with A Little Night Music. The show won eight Tony Awards\, including Best Musical\, Score\, and Book. Sweeney has been revived multiple times on Broadway\, adapted into a motion picture\, and is currently playing Off-Broadway in a new immersive production. Sondheim’s sublimely gruesome and funny musical features one of the most thrilling scores in musical theatre and includes such favorites as “A Little Priest” and “Not While I’m Around\,” along with the opening song “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.” Attend the tale—if you dare!

DESCRIPTION:A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations\, performances\, interventions\, and events by University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students\, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan\, dean of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, the University of Michigan Library\, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR)\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of presents Art\, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway
DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY\n \nIn celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Oshima Tsumugi Kimono
DESCRIPTION:Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan\, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty\, incredible softness\, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Presentation:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s explores large-scale works of art by Helen Frankenthaler\, Louise Nevelson\, Sam Gilliam\, and Al Loving\, within the context of highly-charged debates of the early 1970s about aesthetics\, politics\, race\, and feminism. This exhibition explores the gendered and racialized terms upon which great art was defined and assessed\, and the strategy of artists to question the identity and aesthetics of the artist making the art. UMMA docents will help visitors look through the lens of the four artists’ works to explore the aesthetic choices inherent in abstraction as well as the acts of staining\, pouring\, draping\, —or even taking apart the wall itself—within this charged political context.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
DESCRIPTION:a musical by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler\n\nDepartment of Musical Theatre\nDirected by Vincent J. Cardinal\nMusic Direction by Catherine A. Walker\n\nSweeney Todd is a musical melodrama set in the 1840s based on an allegedly true tale. Released from prison for a crime he didn’t commit\, Sweeney vows revenge on the world for the loss of his family. With the assistance of his unhinged landlady Mrs. Lovett\, Sweeney reaps vengeance through his barbershop that is at once horrifying and exhilarating. Mrs. Lovett’s brilliant idea of how to deal with the aftermath of Todd’s handiwork makes her pie shop and the barber’s chair the most popular place in London. Will Sweeney’s obsession prevent him from recognizing a chance of salvation or will madness overwhelm all? \n\nOpening on Broadway in 1979\, Sweeney Todd was the second collaboration between Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler\, following their success with A Little Night Music. The show won eight Tony Awards\, including Best Musical\, Score\, and Book. Sweeney has been revived multiple times on Broadway\, adapted into a motion picture\, and is currently playing Off-Broadway in a new immersive production. Sondheim’s sublimely gruesome and funny musical features one of the most thrilling scores in musical theatre and includes such favorites as “A Little Priest” and “Not While I’m Around\,” along with the opening song “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.” Attend the tale—if you dare!

DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, April 23 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery (1st Floor\, 913 S. University Ave.) for the all new Academic Innovation at Michigan for Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion (AIM for DE&I) Speaker Series. This talk will be the second of four throughout April and May aimed at exploring issues at the intersections of teaching and learning\; technology\; and diversity\, equity\, and inclusion.\n\nTalk Information:\n\nAugmented Empathy: How can design bring empathy back in an increasingly disconnected world\n\nCome join an interactive storytelling journey to explore identity\; how identities are connected to the communities and sub-cultures to which we belong.   Whether it evolves out of geography or perception\, this is an exploration of the building blocks of augmenting empathy with Bayete Ross Smith.\n\nBayeté  Ross Smith is a photographer and multimedia artist from New York whose collaborative projects Along The Way and Question Bridge: Black Males have shown at the Sundance Film Festival and several others. He is a TED Resident and an embedded media maker with POV/Am Doc and The New York Times\, and he has exhibited his work internationally. He is a faculty member at the International Center of Photography and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. Bayeté uses photography\, video and public installation to investigate the ways we perform our racial\, gender and cultural identities through clothing\, music and the communities of affinity we choose. He reveals both the pleasure of performing our chosen personas\, as well as the dangers of perceiving these personas in others.\n\nAll members of the University of Michigan community including faculty\, staff\, and students are encouraged to attend. Light refreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library
DESCRIPTION:A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations\, performances\, interventions\, and events by University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students\, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan\, dean of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, the University of Michigan Library\, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR)\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

DESCRIPTION:\"Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency\,\" by collaborative artists Paloma Muñoz and Walter Martin\, is a razor-sharp work that brings into question our ideals of house and home\, privacy\, and safety.\n\nThe exhibition combines photographs the artists have envisioned of houses without windows as well an actual glass house planned for the center of the gallery\, revisiting the whole notion of a glass house as an example of sophistication\, luxury\, and modernism.\n\nIn a darkening an era of surveillance and the internet\, for Martin and Muñoz\,  \"Blind House\" serves as \"a metaphorical solution to the full on campaign against personal privacy.\" Read the artists' statement at http://myumi.ch/6wxbk

SUMMARY:Presentation:Clinical Science Brown Bag:  Addressing Barriers to Mental Health Care: The Development of the Mood Lifters Program
DESCRIPTION:Approximately half of all Americans will develop a mental health disorder in their lifetime. Many more will cope with negative life events such as trauma\, the death of a loved one\, divorce\, job loss\, and physical illness. Unfortunately\, research suggests that the current mental health care system in the United States (U.S.) is dramatically underutilized with only 43.1% of the 44.7 million Americans affected by mental illness receiving mental health care in the last year (NIMH\, 2017). Many people experience significant barriers that prevent them from accessing care. In order to address some of the barriers to mental health care\, researchers at the University of Michigan developed a novel intervention\, Mood Lifters. Mood Lifters is a peer-led\, low-cost\, evidence-based program designed to improve mental wellness\, decrease negative affect and increase positive affect. Mood Lifters weaves together the most effective biological\, psychological and social techniques\, based on the most recent research\, to provide strategies that people can use to make changes\, develop healthy habits and live the life they want. This talk will cover the development of the Mood Lifters program and the current scientific support for the program.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Brown Bag:  Development and neuroplasticity of selective attention in early childhood
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \n\nHow do children attend selectively\, focusing their attention on relevant information while simultaneously suppressing distractors? What neurobiological and contextual factors contribute to the development of selective attention in early childhood? In this talk\, I will explore these questions\, utilizing a multimethod approach that combines electroencephalography (EEG) with behavioral\, experimental\, and observational measures. In part 1\, I will share findings from studies in which I examined the brain functions supporting selective attention in early childhood in the context of socioeconomic adversity. These studies emphasize that there is notable variability in the neurodevelopment of selective attention in children from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds. In part 2\, I will discuss pilot data and future directions for research on how neighborhood\, household\, and classroom auditory environments contribute to the development of selective attention as children transition to formal schooling. In addition\, I will present my ongoing and planned work towards reproducible\, replicable\, and representative developmental EEG research\, in the context of neurodevelopment of selective attention specifically\, and for developmental research broadly.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Ph.D. Defense: Mac Morris
DESCRIPTION:Deep vein thrombosis\, defined as blood clots forming in veins beneath muscles in the body\, is the third most common cardiovascular disease worldwide. The standard treatment of deep vein thrombosis involves using anticoagulants to stop clot progression but is only successful in 2/3 of patients because the composition of the clot changes over time. The standard diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis and determination of the age of the thrombus are based on the patient’s timeline of when these symptoms appeared. With use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)\, thrombus progression can be studied non-invasively from the acute to chronic stage. The aims of this work are to apply a Gaussian mixture model to multiparametric MRI of preclinical thrombi and determine whether spatial correlations exist with composition by histology.\n \nThrombosis was induced in 30 12-week-old mice divided into three groups and imaged at either acute\, sub-chronic\, or chronic time points. The multiparametric MRI volumes consisted of T1-\, T2-\, and T2*-weighted images. The MRI volume for each mouse was normalized\, and the thrombus was segmented. The T1\, T2\, and T2* intensities at each location were input into a Gaussian mixture model. Following image acquisition\, tissue samples were acquired and stained for Martius scarlet blue trichrome to examine red blood cell\, collagen\, and fibrin content in each thrombus. \n \nTo analyze each Gaussian mixture model region\, qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed by comparing the Gaussian mixture model results with the paired histology. 2D correlation values between the Gaussian mixture model tissue class and histological composition revealed that the first cluster class correlated with red blood cells (p < 0.05)\, and the second cluster class correlated with fibrin and collagen (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that spatial correlations exist between the classification of multiparametric MRI data and corresponding histology. With the aforementioned methods and results from each study\, we are able to move one step closer with assisting healthcare providers in optimizing treatments for patients with deep vein thrombosis.  \n\nChair: Joan Greve

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE)\, Public Finance: College Aid and the Marginal Cost of a College Degree: Evidence from a Randomized Trial.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nA large privately-funded scholarship program randomized 'full-freight' financial aid awards to entering students at Nebraska's public colleges and universities. Scholarship awards increased four-year college attendance among recipients but had little effect on two-year or overall attendance. Awards granted to students targeting four-year colleges boosted six-year graduation rates by 8.5 percentage points\, with gains unevenly distributed\, ranging from a high of 15 - 20 points among minority program applicants and those with low ACT scores\, to zero for well-prepared program applicants. Roughly 92% of the scholarship aid went to students who would have graduated without scholarship aid. Average scholarship costs were $43\,000 per additional college year completed and $425\,000 per additional four-year degree obtained\, but this falls to $230\,000 for nonwhite students. Costs were high in part because scholarship awards lengthened time to degree among recipients. Nevertheless\, the bulk of scholarship expenditures reflect transfers from scholarship sponsors to scholarship recipients rather than incremental expenditures on post-secondary education.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STEM Careers and the Changing Skill Requirements of Work
DESCRIPTION:Big Data in Population Science - Mini-Series (3 of 4)\n\nScience\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Math (STEM) jobs are a key contributor to eco- nomic growth and national competitiveness. Yet STEM workers are perceived to be in short supply. This paper shows that the \"STEM shortage\" phenomenon is explained by technological change\, which introduces new job skills and makes old ones obsolete. We find that the initially high economic return to applied STEM degrees declines by more than 50 percent in the first decade of working life. This coincides with a rapid exit of college graduates from STEM occupations. Using detailed job vacancy data\, we show that STEM jobs changed especially quickly over the last decade\, leading to flatter age-earnings profiles as the skills of older cohorts became obsolete. Our findings highlight the importance of technology-specific skills in explaining life-cycle returns to education\, and show that STEM jobs are the leading edge of technology diffusion in the labor market.\n\nBIO:\nDavid Deming is a Professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Harvard Graduate School of Education\, the Director of the Harvard Inequality and Social Policy Program\, and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ethics and Politics of AI: Data Violence: Discourse and Justice in a Datafied World
DESCRIPTION:Values of fairness\, antidiscrimination\, and inclusion occupy a central place in the emerging ethics of data and algorithms. Their importance is underscored by the reality that data-intensive\, algorithmically-mediated decision systems—as represented by artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML)—can exacerbate existing (or generate new) injustices\, worsening already problematic distributions of rights\, opportunities\, and wealth. At the same time\, critics of certain “fair” or “inclusive” approaches to the design and implementation of these systems have illustrated their limits\, pointing to problems with reductive or overly technical definitions of fairness or a general inability to appropriately address representative or dignitary harms.\n\nIn this talk\, Anna Lauren Hoffmann extends these critiques by focusing on problems of cultural and discursive violence. She begins by discussing trends in AI/ML fairness and inclusion discussion that mirror problematic tendencies from legal antidiscrimination discourses. From there\, she introduces “data violence” as a response to these trends. In particular\, she lays out the discursive bases of data-based violence—that is\, the discursive forms by which competing voices and various “fair” or “inclusive” solutions become legible (and others marginalized or ignored). In doing so\, she undermines any neat or easy distinction between the presence of violence and its absence—rather\, our sense of fair or inclusive conditions contain and feed the possibility of violent ones. She concludes by echoing feminist political philosopher Serene Khader’s call to move away from justice-imposing solutions toward justice-enhancing ones. Importantly\, justice-enhancing efforts cannot simply be a matter of protecting or “including” vulnerable others\, but must also attend to discourses and norms that generate asymmetrical vulnerabilities to violence in the first place. \n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nAnna Lauren Hoffmann is a scholar and writer working at the intersections of data\, technology\, culture\, and ethics. She is currently an Assistant Professor with The Information School at the University of Washington.\n\nHer work centers on issues in information\, data\, and ethics\, paying specific attention to the ways discourse\, design\, and uses of information technology work to promote or hinder the pursuit of important human values like respect and justice. She is concerned with the ways data\, information\, and technological systems (or the ways we talk about them) discriminate by undermining the development of self-respect of some\, especially through the infliction of symbolic and discursive violences. In addition\, she works on issues around ethics education for data professionals and computer scientists\, as well as the possibilities (and limits) of research ethics and professional codes of ethics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Picosecond Timing: extending the physics potential of the High Luminosity LHC with the CMS MIP timing detector
DESCRIPTION:The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) is an upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN\, which will extend the accelerator's potential for new discoveries in physics. This upgrade will increase the rate of collisions by a factor of five beyond the original design value and the total collisions created by a factor ten. To meet the challenging conditions of the HL-LHC\, the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is undergoing an extensive Phase 2 Upgrade program. In particular\, a new precision timing detector with hermetic coverage up to a pseudo-rapidity of |η|=3 will measure minimum ionizing particles (MIPs) with a time resolution of 30-40 ps. This measurement of the time coordinate will reduce the effects of the high levels of pile-up expected at the HL-LHC and bring new capabilities to the CMS detector. In this seminar\, I will discuss the impact on the HL-LHC physics program as well as the design and technology of this new detector.\n
