They test the limits of black hole accretion by regularly producing super-Eddington feeding rates\, and their emission encodes information about the properties of the disrupted star and SMBH. While these transients have long been theoretically predicted\, it is only in the past ~decade that they have been discovered observationally\, and the number of these observations is about to rise dramatically with the onset of LSST. I’ll discuss how we can combine theoretical models with the rising tide of observations to investigate the SMBH mass function and accretion physics\, look for SMBH binaries\, and study the properties of stars on size scales we cannot observe outside our own galactic neighborhood.

Yet relatively little is still known about the evolutionary relationships among Neotropical organisms and the factors that have shaped the high species diversity found in this region. Integrative approaches\, including information from systematics\, ecology\, evolution\, geology\, and climatology are crucial to better understand the drivers of species diversity. To improve our understanding of the history of Neotropical biodiversity\, I combine detailed studies focused on key Neotropical lineages with broad-scale studies that look at biotas as a whole.

GCCs include two components: An on-campus course during the winter semester and a 3-week\, off-campus field experience that takes place during the following spring (May-June).\n\n\"With London and the seaside cities of Brighton and London as our setting\, students will develop a sense of the distinct convergences of cultures and global identities that make up this region of England. The traditions of pleine aire painting along with the numerous approaches to street photography and the observational documentary are starting points for us to consider as we make our way through the streets of the city. Each neighborhood along our journey offers up different stories and histories and each provide opportunities for the students to engage with and reflect upon their own sense of place and identity within that place. What does arriving\, as an outside observer\, bring to the vocabulary of cities? Are we flaneurs (Baudelaire’s notion that we can be casual observers of modern\, urban life)? Or are we more engaged with the city as a setting for our own individual narratives or diaristic entries? How has the history of England’s Colonial reach shaped the modern city of London? In addition to our planned outings\, students will be encouraged to do their own photographic walkabouts during their stay in London.\" UID:127401-21859001@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127401 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Abroad,Digital Media,Film,global opportunities,Information Session,international,photography,Sessions,study abroad,Undergraduate,Undergraduate Students,Visual Arts LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241015T145706 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241107T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241107T180000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:LSA First-Gen Day Celebration DESCRIPTION:Both nationally and institutionally on November 8th\, National First-Gen Day is an exciting and celebratory occasion for institutions of higher education to acknowledge\, amplify\, and raise awareness regarding the incredible resilience\, strengths\, narratives\, and trailblazing nature of students who identify as being first-generation. \n\nJoin us in celebrating LSA’s inaugural First-Gen Day by enjoying free food\, LSA First-Gen swag\, and prizes.

These standards are already being rolled out in federal policy\, and have the potential to make a major impact on US society\, not least of all higher education. However\, these recommendations flew in the face of expert and community stakeholders and historical precedent by excluding transnational\, indigenous groups like Armenians\, many Arab groups coded as “Black\,” and other Muslim groups on the region’s geographic and epistemic peripheries. This talk will therefore examine the “Middle East” as a recurring site of ambiguity and anxiety within foreign policy\, academic disciplines\, and domestic legislation that congeal around diaspora communities. Taking a deconstructive and intersectional approach to race science\, discriminatory US policies\, and community voices\, the talk will interrogate the historical record while affirming the necessity -- and pitfalls -- of a MENA category.\n \n Bio: Thomas Simsarian Dolan has just begun a position as Lead Historian at the Armenian General Benevolent Union\, founded in Cairo in 1906 and still the largest Armenian philanthropy. A faculty affiliate in Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies at Emory and the Center for Arts\, Migration\, and Entrepreneurship at the University of Florida\, his research focuses on MENA migrations across the Atlantic World\, and especially the racialization of these migrants in academia\, popular culture and the law. His work has been supported by a range of national research organizations\, including the Bentley Historical Library and Center for Arab American Philanthropy\, and he previously completed a year as a Fulbright US Teaching Scholar History at American University in Cairo\, after earning degrees from George Washington University\, NYU\, and Yale.\n \n \nCosponsors:\nDepartment of American Culture\nProgram in Arab and Muslim American Studies\nCenter for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\nCenter for Racial Justice\nLSA DEI Office\nInstitute for the Humanities\n\nRegister here: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94676302477 UID:124875-21853974@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124875 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:armenian,Armenian Studies,Discussion,Lecture LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241122T123143 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241107T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241107T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Personalize Your Path: Gallagher's Tailored Journey to Specialization DESCRIPTION:You're invited to attend “Personalize Your Path: Gallagher's Tailored Journey to Specialization” Virtual SessionDate &\; Time: November 7th 4:00pm - 5:00pm EDTDescription: Are you intrigued by the vast opportunities within a specific industry\, yearning to carve your unique path?

Recent progress has been made in understanding the behavior of planar dimer models with periodic edge weights\, particularly models on the subgraph of the square lattice known as the Aztec diamond graph. In this talk\, I will discuss the effect of a temperature parameter in the doubly periodic Aztec diamond dimer model in the zero temperature limit. In this limit\, the Aztec diamond undergoes crystallization: The limit shape converges to a piecewise linear function we call the tropical limit shape\, and the local fluctuations are governed by the Gibbs measures with the slope dictated by the tropical limit shape for low enough temperature. \n\nThe tropical limit shape and the tropical arctic curve (consisting of ridges of the crystal) are described in terms of a tropical curve and a tropical action function on that curve\, which are the tropical analogs of the spectral curve and the action function that describe the finite-temperature models. The tropical curve is explicit in terms of the edge weights\, and the tropical action function is a solution to Kirchhoff's problem on the tropical curve.\n\nBased on joint work with Alexei Borodin.

Engaging a wide variety of visual cultures\, Maravilla’s work is autobiographical\, referencing his unaccompanied\, undocumented migration to the United States due to the Salvadoran Civil War. Across all media\, Maravilla explores how the systemic abuse of immigrants physically manifests in the body\, reflecting on his own battle with cancer. \nMaravilla is also a teacher and mutual-aid organizer\; his work extends beyond his sculptural practice to consider forms of community-based healing and regeneration. He frequently activates his artistic objects through performances and sound baths – a meditative experience where participants are “bathed” in sound frequencies meant to encourage therapeutic and restorative healing. \nMaravilla’s work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, NY\; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York\, NY\; the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York\, NY\; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía\, Madrid\, Spain\; the Institute of Contemporary Art\, Miami\, FL\; the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter\, Oslo\, Norway\; and the Brooklyn Museum\, Brooklyn\, NY\, among others.

She has written extensively on critical and postcolonial theory\, racism\, immigration\, reparations and transitional justice\, architectural photography\, translation\, neoliberalism\, and global history. Her book Architecture in Translation: Germany\, Turkey and the Modern House (Duke University Press\, 2012) offers a new way to understand the global movement of architecture that extends the notion of translation beyond language to visual fields.

Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots are created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition\, “Continuous Touch\,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.

Selected papers will be published in a special issue of Nuclear Technology.\n\nNuclear energy faces complex sociotechnical challenges\, combining social and technical dimensions. These include difficulties in technology implementation\, cost overruns\, regulatory constraints\, public mistrust\, community engagement failures\, nuclear waste management\, security concerns\, and equity issues.\n\nThese challenges have been addressed separately by different disciplines\, hindered by disciplinary divides and normative differences. Historically\, engineers favor technology\, while humanities and social sciences take critical stances\, impeding collaboration.\n\nThe education of nuclear engineers hasn't sufficiently addressed sociotechnical aspects\, exacerbating these challenges. Despite this\, interdisciplinary research efforts are underway\, supported by funding agencies. \n\nThis symposium aims to assess progress\, identify shared objectives\, and discuss methodologies and institutional support for sociotechnical research in nuclear energy. \n\nAuthors are encouraged to reflect on these issues\, fostering collaborative field-building activities.

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

The ethnic Korean population outside the Korean peninsula now includes not only the descendants of colonial-era migrants to Japan and Manchuria\, but also the post-1960s emigrants to North America\, a large size of adoptees in North America and Northwestern Europe\, and educational migrants and Christian missionaries across the globe. Migrants in South Korea are equally diverse. They include: labor migrants in agricultural\, manufacturing\, and service sectors\; marriage migrants constituting the fast-growing “multicultural families”\; asylum-seekers from across the world\; and international students and English teachers recruited by educational institutions. North Korean and ethnic Korean migrants from China also constitute a significant portion of migrants in South Korea. This two-day conference will explore the politics of migration\, diaspora\, and race in transnational Korea—the topic that has moved Korean Studies in a transnational direction in the past decade or so. The approach will be interdisciplinary and comparative\, with the panelists from sociology\, anthropology\, political science\, and media studies\, and with broader East Asia as a comparative horizon.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu.

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college\, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota\, where no skyscrapers exist\, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit\, Glazer began his griot series\, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks\, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit\, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852733@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241022T124308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241108T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241108T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Touch DESCRIPTION:Ericka Lopez is a visual artist born in Mexico and living in Los Angeles. Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition\, “Continuous Touch\,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.

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:107870-21817958@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:20241022T135730 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241108T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241108T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:An Empirical Model of Consideration through Search (joint with Jose Luis Moraga-González and Zsolt Sándor) DESCRIPTION:We propose a tractable method for the estimation of a consideration set model in which consideration sets are endogenously determined through search. We show that the widely- used alternative-specific consideration model is a special case in which consumers put zero weight on expected utility when making their search decisions. To deal with the dimensionality problem that may arise from a large number of consideration sets\, we propose a novel\, accurate\, and computationally fast Monte Carlo estimator for the choice probabilities. We use several existing datasets to identify the extent to which search played a role when buyers formed their consideration sets.

Election seasons can generate 'hot moments' in every discipline\, whether your courses frequently raise potentially sensitive subjects or never do so deliberately. How can you navigate those interactions in ways that are responsive to students and also advance course learning goals? In this interactive workshop for instructors in all academic disciplines\, participants will reflect on their own experiences of 'hot moments'\, consider a range of pedagogical choices\, and practice language for responding to hot moments in the classroom. \n\nDates Offered:\nFriday September 20\, 2024 12pm-2pm (Zoom)\nFriday November 8\, 2024 10am-12pm (Zoom)\n\nThis session is offered as a part of the Promoting Democracy Teaching Series by CRLT & Ginsberg Center. \n\nOpen to UM faculty\, graduate students/GSIs\, and post-docs.

For example\, during the 2020 U.S. presidential election\, Aggarwal et al. (2023) conducted a randomized experiment to evaluate a negative\, digital ad campaign against President Trump and found the campaign to be ineffective in changing voter turnout. But\, their null results may not generalize to elections that are less exceptional than 2020\, notably when COVID-19 emerged.\n\nThe main question in this paper is as follows: would negative\, digital ads against Trump remain ineffective in changing voter turnout for the 2024 U.S. presidential elections? A randomized experiment like that in Aggarwal et al. (2023) is the gold standard to answer this question\, but can be expensive. Instead\, we propose to use a less-than-ideal\, but a significantly cheaper and likely faster alternative based on transfer learning where we transfer knowledge from past experimental data to inform ad effectiveness for 2024. A key component of our analysis is a sensitivity analysis that quantifies the unobservable differences between elections\, which can be calibrated in a data-driven manner. Within this framework\, we propose two estimators to evaluate the ad effect on the target voter population: a simple regression estimator with bootstrap\, which we recommend for practitioners in this field\, and an estimator based on the efficient influence function for broader applications. Using our framework\, we estimate the effect of running a negative\, digital anti-Trump ad campaign on voter turnout for the 2024 U.S. presidential election in Pennsylvania (PA)\, a key \"tipping point\" state for the election. Our findings indicate effect heterogeneity across counties of PA and among important subgroups stratified by gender\, urbanicity\, and education attainment.\n\nThis is joint work with Xinran Miao (UW-Madison) and Jiwei Zhao (UW-Madison).\n\n\nhttps://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~hyunseung/ UID:124547-21853174@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124547 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241108T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241108T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. 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:84303-21621437@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:20241108T181542 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241108T100000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Women's Tennis vs ITA Sectional Championships DESCRIPTION:Women's Tennis vs ITA Sectional Championships UID:128866-21861716@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/128866 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Women's Tennis LOCATION:Varsity Tennis Bldg CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241108T102038 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241108T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241108T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:[Race\, Gender\, and Feminist Philosophy] Nov 8: Lorde & Jackson DESCRIPTION:Hi all\, \nThanks to those of you who attended yesterday for a great discussion! \nOur next meeting will be in 2 weeks on Nov 8\, at 10:30 am in 2271 Angell.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

Prior to the last few years\, a vast majority of what was known about the archaeology of Benin was documented by Graham Connah. The processes that influenced or led to the formation of the Benin state are relatively unknown. The role of the Benin Moat System (reputed as the largest earthwork on earth constructed during prehistoric times) and the relationship between different entities that are related to the Benin state all remain in the dark. This presentation presents a human ecological approach to understanding the implications of environmental changes\, especially those preceding\, during and immediately after the Little Ice Age\, with a focus on the commerce and political economy of one of the entities that is believed to have played a role in the emergence of the Benin State.

Tracing contested claims about Southwest Yangon’s farmers circulating in the popular press and in state propaganda\, this presentation explores the political and pragmatic tactics of future-making amid authoritarian resurgence\, rapid urbanization\, and the pressures of a changing climate. At stake is a broader politics of visibility\, wherein the boundary between the seen and unseen becomes a site through which what is “real” in contemporary Myanmar is questioned.\n \n Courtney Wittekind is assistant professor of anthropology at Purdue University. She received her Ph.D. in Social Anthropology with a secondary field in Critical Media Practice from Harvard University in 2022. From 2022-2024\, she was a Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University with the Program in Agrarian Studies and Council on Southeast Asia Studies.

Gender and Hiring into Entry-Level Sales Jobs DESCRIPTION:Although sociologists have long recognized that variation within gender categories exists\, most research on labor market inequality remains focused on outcomes between two groups: women and men. One way that individuals’ gender varies is through their gender expression\, or their conveyance of femininity\, masculinity\, both or neither in the hiring process. In this project we argue that hiring is affected by the gender expression of candidates\, and that gender expression can occur through candidates’ written communication—e.g.\, in job applications. Using free-form responses on job applications for tens of thousands of candidates for the same entry-level sales job and natural language processing methods\, we find evidence that gender is expressed in written communication. Further\, we find that candidates—men and women—who express higher levels of masculinity are more apt to be offered jobs. We close with a discussion of how the treatment of gender on a spectrum influences hiring and gender inequality in labor markets.

This is not the first time we have needed to make major changes in cryptography\; it is the fourth such change in a little over a century. We will look at each of these changes and consider the implication: when and what will be the next change?\n\nBio: Whitfield Diffie is best known for his discovery of the concept of public-key cryptography\, which he developed jointly with Martin Hellman at Stanford University in the mid-1970s. The two shared the ACM Turing Award in 2015 for work that “made cryptography scalable to the Internet and revolutionized the landscape of security.” Retired from positions as head of security for the Canadian telephone system and Sun Microsystems\, Diffie is now an Honorary Fellow of Gonville and Caius College in Cambridge. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering\, the Royal Society\, and NSA’s Cryptologic Hall of Honor.

It can be characterized by a consistency condition on the conditional certainty equivalents. This paper provides a complete characterization of updating in a general class of ambiguity preferences that obeys this consistency. By extending it to two broader classes of ambiguity preferences\, variational preferences and confidence preferences\, I obtain two new updating rules that naturally nests the prior-by-prior updating rule but also includes a weight of the inverse likelihood of the occurred events. For ambiguity averse preferences less extreme than the maxmin expected-utility class\, these updating rules are a hybrid of the prior-by- prior updating rule and the maximum likelihood consideration.

Manuscript cultures are central to premodern societies. Different manuscript formats and material substrates connect texts\, images\, languages\, reading practices\, and ritual performances\, which in a university setting are often split across multiple departments and fields. Having this broad framework will enable the interest group to explore collaboration across disciplines and facilitate research among different manuscript traditions through an object-centered approach.\n\nIn monthly meetings during the Fall and Winter terms\, participants will present on current research interests as well as give more general overviews of particular manuscript cultures for informal discussion and exchange. They will also occasionally discuss key readings which have shaped manuscript studies in specific areas or in broader ways. In addition\, the interest group hopes to be able to explore manuscript collections in person together\, both in and around Ann Arbor as well as further afield. We hope to invite an external speaker once a year to connect the interest group with scholars beyond U-M.\n\nOpen to U-M faculty\, staff\, and graduate students only. Organized by Tina Bawden (History of Art) and Trent Walker (Asian Languages & Cultures). Please contact the group organizers for location.

Closely related to the KdV and the Benjamin-Ono equation\, the ILW equation enjoys a similar well-posedness theory and is formally completely integrable. Kodama\, Ablowitz and Satsuma discovered the formal integrability of ILW and formulated inverse scattering transform solutions. If made rigorous\, the inverse scattering method will provide powerful tools for asymptotic analysis and can potentially lead to critical regularity well-posedness. In this talk\, I will present some recent results on the ILW direct scattering problem. In particular\, a Lax pair formulation is clarified\, and the spectral theory of the Lax operators can be studied. Existence and uniqueness of scattering states are established for small interaction potential. The scattering matrix can then be constructed from the scattering states. The solution is related to the theory of analytic functions on a strip. This is joint work with Peter Perry.\n\nContact: Peter Miller UID:121473-21846585@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121473 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241030T124732 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241108T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241108T163000 SUMMARY:Presentation:FY2025 Fulbright-Hays DDRA Fellowship Virtual Info Session DESCRIPTION:The US Department of Education (US/ED) Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowships provide opportunities for PhD candidates to engage in full-time dissertation research abroad in less commonly taught modern foreign languages and non-Western-European area studies.

In this setting interacting degrees of freedom arise as edge modes of a higher-dimensional bulk system. We further show that the combined (D + 1)-dimensional bulk and D-dimensional edge mode theory can serve as the edge modes of a (D+2)-dimensional bulk theory\, which leads to a nested structure of SymThs. We show how this structure naturally arises in a number of string-based constructions of QFTs with both discrete and continuous symmetries.

For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or in an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the FootballGame last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation. If you areinterested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student.

We can represent this map using the associated cluster structures\, interpreting it as an isomorphism generated by fixing a subset of cluster variables and applying a cluster quasi-equivalence. The development of the splicing map is inspired by the connection Galashin and Lam established between the torus-equivariant homology of $\Pi_{k\,n}^\circ$ and the Khovanov-Rozansky homology $HHH$ of the torus link $T(k\,n-k)$. This is joint work with Eugene Gorsky. If time permits\, I may briefly discuss the splicing map for non-top dimensional positroids which is joint work with Eugene Gorsky\, Jose Simental\, and Soyeon Kim.

His research interests include the history of political thought\, empire and anticolonial thought\, popular sovereignty\, South Asian intellectual history\, and ideas of the global.\n \n *Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.*\n\nFree and open to the public UID:124508-21853126@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124508 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,Colonialism,political science LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 110 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240912T093311 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241108T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241108T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Diversity and Inclusion Workshop Series: Chappell Roan and Creating Queer Spaces in Mainstream Music DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we’ll take some time to appreciate and analyze the significance of Chappell Roan’s music as well as investigate what inspires her and drives her songwriting.

Arithmeticity and commensurability classes of hyperbolic reflection groups DESCRIPTION:Hyperbolic reflection groups appear in various fields of mathematics such as algebraic geometry\, discrete subgroups of Lie groups\, geometric group theory\, geometric topology\, and number theory. Cofinite and cocompact hyperbolic reflection groups have the following feature: their fundamental domains are Coxeter polyhedra having simple geometric and combinatorial properties. Based on these properties\, Vinberg initiated the theory of hyperbolic reflection groups and proved several fundamental and remarkable theorems related to their arithmeticity and commensurability classes. I will give a survey of this field\, and will mention a few recent results in this direction. This talk is partially based on my work with S. Douba and J. Raimbault.

The hearty base of Town Mountain's music is the first and second generation of bluegrass spiced with country\, old school rock ‘n’ roll\, and boogie-woogie. It's what else goes into the mix that brings it all to life both on stage and on record and reflects the group's wide-ranging influences – from the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia and the ethereal lyrics of Robert Hunter\, to the honest\, vintage country of Willie\, Waylon\, and Merle.\nThe Rolling Stone says “Call it an evolution or a revolution but it’s clear that Town Mountain is at the forefront.” Town Mountain features guitarist and vocalist Robert Greer\, mandolinist Phil Barker\, fiddler Bobby Britt\, and Zach Smith on bass.\n\nJohn R Miller is a true hyphenate artist: singer-songwriter-picker. Every song on his thrilling debut solo album\, Depreciated\, is lush with intricate wordplay and haunting imagery\, as well as being backed by a band that is on fire. One of his biggest long-time fans is roots music favorite Tyler Childers\, who says he's \"a well-traveled wordsmith mapping out the world he's seen\, three chords at a time.\" Miller is somehow able to transport us to a shadowy honkytonk and get existential all in the same line with his tightly written compositions. Miller's own guitar-playing is on fine display here along with vocals that evoke the white-waters of the Potomac River rumbling below the high ridges of his native Shenandoah Valley.

What about sheaf cohomologies of line bundles or vector bundles? How should one make sense of such notions for a matroid? Even for linear matroids\, many geometric questions remain. We discuss various developments surrounding these questions.\n\nSpeaker: Matt Larson (Princeton / Institute for Advanced Study)\nTitle: Fine multidegrees and Grobner degenerations\n\nAbstract: Grobner degenerations are a method for studying the geometry of a subvariety X of C^n using a scaling action of the multiplicative group C*\, but they often lose a lot of information. This information loss can be minimized by compactifying affine space. We show that the possible Grobner degenerations of X are controlled by the homology class of the closure of X in (P^1)^n. This gives a simple criterion for a collection of squarefree polynomials to be a universal Grobner basis\, which can be used to recover many known results on universal Grobner bases. We apply this result to a family of matrix Schubert varieties. Joint work with Daoji Huang.\n\nSpeaker: Patricia Klein (Texas A&M University)\nTitle: Gröbner degeneration in Schubert calculus\n\nAbstract: Roughly speaking\, enumerative geometry is a field whose goal is to count the \"typical\" number of solutions to certain types of families of polynomial equations\, particularly when that number is finite. With a great deal of effort\, especially in the wake of the work of Hermann Schubert around the turn of the 20th century\, mathematicians made rigorous the notion of a \"typical\" answer and also made rigorous certain simplifying strategies Schubert had suggested. Indeed\, making Schubert's arguments precise was the topic of Hilbert's 15th problem\, and the field born from this study is now called Schubert calculus. The simplifications Schubert had suggested entail sliding or deforming the geometric objects to be studied while preserving the total number of whatever it is one wants to count. These strategies are what are now called degeneration techniques. In this talk\, we will review some classical results in Schubert calculus\, describe some modern questions in the area\, and then explain how these questions are studied via Gröbner degeneration in particular.\n\nSpeaker: Jianping Pan (Arizona State University)\nTitle: Variations of uncrowning algorithms and stable Grothendieck polynomials\n\nAbstract: In this talk\, I will provide the motivation\, basic definitions\, and abundant examples of tableaux related to variations of stable Grothendieck polynomials. The classic uncrowding algorithm defined by Buch on set-valued tableaux gives a bijective proof of Lenart’s Schur expansion for symmetric Grothendieck polynomials. Hook-valued tableaux are associated with stable canonical Grothendieck polynomials and we introduce an uncrowding algorithm on them. Recently Hwang\, Jang\, Kim\, Song and Song gave a Schur expansion for the refined canonical stable Grothendieck polynomials (using exquisite tableaux). We discover a novel connection between the exquisite tableaux model and hook-valued tableaux via the uncrowding and jeu de taquin algorithms\, using a classic result of Benkart\, Sottile and Stroomer. This connection reveals a hidden symmetry of the hook-valued tableaux and the uncrowding algorithm defined on them. This talk is based on joint work with Pappe\, Poh and Schilling\, and with Jang\, Kim\, Pappe and Schilling.

The ethnic Korean population outside the Korean peninsula now includes not only the descendants of colonial-era migrants to Japan and Manchuria\, but also the post-1960s emigrants to North America\, a large size of adoptees in North America and Northwestern Europe\, and educational migrants and Christian missionaries across the globe. Migrants in South Korea are equally diverse. They include: labor migrants in agricultural\, manufacturing\, and service sectors\; marriage migrants constituting the fast-growing “multicultural families”\; asylum-seekers from across the world\; and international students and English teachers recruited by educational institutions. North Korean and ethnic Korean migrants from China also constitute a significant portion of migrants in South Korea. This two-day conference will explore the politics of migration\, diaspora\, and race in transnational Korea—the topic that has moved Korean Studies in a transnational direction in the past decade or so. The approach will be interdisciplinary and comparative\, with the panelists from sociology\, anthropology\, political science\, and media studies\, and with broader East Asia as a comparative horizon.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

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:84303-21621438@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:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241109T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241109T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

Located in the Fayum region of Egypt (about 80 kilometers southwest of Cairo)\, Karanis was one of many towns established under the Hellenistic king Ptolemy II. It was later expanded by the Romans as part of a project to restore the agricultural potential of the region. In this tour\, we will look at a wide variety of artifacts brought back to the University of Michigan from the archaeological project at Karanis a century ago. But the work did not stop with the excavations: this tour will also discuss the results of recent research into those artifacts that have helped illuminate the daily lives of the people who lived there.\n\nThis event is free and open to all visitors.
