It shapes the composition of families and communities. It is also very difficult to observe. By combining data from menstrual and pregnancy tracking \"apps\" with administrative data and original survey data\, we demonstrate that U.S. pregnancy loss is both common and socially patterned. Understanding this process is of broad interest\; it is essential to answering a number of central questions in the social sciences. To advance the integration of the prenatal period into social science research\, we construct model prenatal life tables that span the full length of gestation and are indexed by levels of infant mortality. With this approach\, we extend a long history of demographic research on cohort selection to the period before birth.  \n\nJenna Nobles is professor of sociology and population health sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She studies the implications of migration systems for sending and receiving communities\, the causes and consequences of population variation in fertility and fecundity\, and the effects of environmental change on population processes. At UW-Madison\, she is the director of the Center for Demography & Ecology and the training director of the Collaborative for Reproductive Equity. Nobles currently serves on the NIH stillbirth taskforce and the National Academies' committee on population.\n\nJoin us in person at ISR (Thompson Street) Room 1430.\n\nOr online: Join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95418610585?pwd=Z0cvdkF1T0R2cG1lRDEvVmlnbVdlZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nPasscode: 818420\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,95418610585# US (Washington DC)\n+13092053325\,\,95418610585# US\n\nDial by your location\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nFind your local number: https://umich.zoom.us/u/aCRAyuQaT\n\nJoin by SIP\n95418610585@zoomcrc.com\n\nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n149.137.40.110 (Singapore)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n149.137.68.253 (Mexico)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 UID:119463-21842796@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/119463 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Population Studies Center,Social Sciences,Sociology LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231214T123048 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240401T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240401T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Art of Resistance in Early America DESCRIPTION:The exhibition addresses the theme of the LSA Fall 2023 semester at the University of Michigan: \"Arts & Resistance.\" This exhibit asks us to think about resistance in different settings\, and in different forms.

Richard Alexander (1989\, 1990) proposed a model of human evolution involving a runaway process of social competition based on Darwin’s insight. Here we briefly review Alexander’s logic\, and then expand upon his model by elucidating runaway\, positive-feedback processes that were likely involved in the evolution of the remarkable combination of adaptations in humans. We discuss how these ideas fit with the hypothesis that increased inter-group interaction and cooperation among individuals in small fission-fusion groups opened the door to runaway social selection and cumulative culture during hominin evolution.

Muon collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 10 TeV or above would offer significant discovery potential where the constituent collision energies exceed those of the LHC program by an order of magnitude. Significant progress on the fundamental R&D and design concepts for such a machine has led to a new international effort to assemble a conceptual design within the next few years. This effort will assess the viability of such a machine as a successor to the LHC program. The remaining challenges and the R&D required to deliver a complete machine description will be described.\n\nMark Palmer Bio:\nMark Palmer is currently Director of the Accelerator Facilities Division in the Advanced Technology Research Office at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Previously\, he headed the U.S. Muon Accelerator Program (MAP)\, which carried out research to develop muon accelerator technologies for future neutrino beam and lepton collider facilities. He was also part of the International Linear Collider design team and helped lead the CESR Test Accelerator research program at Cornell University. Mark received his doctorate in physics from Princeton University. Through the course of his career\, he has conducted research in gravitational\, high energy and accelerator physics.

This presentation critically engages with prevailing empiricist approaches to indexicality which focus on signs’ heterogeneous meanings across contexts. It examines institutionalized attributions of deficiency and experiences of structural marginalization to offer the alternative framework of indexical disorder\, which emphasizes the profound role of modern colonialism and racism in overdetermining signs’ meaningfulness. The goal is to develop new insights into organizing power structures across contexts\, as well as to rethink how indexicality can be a crucial analytic for understanding and unsettling these structures. \n\n\nJonathan Rosa is Associate Professor of Education\, Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies\, and\, by courtesy\, Anthropology\, Linguistics\, and Comparative Literature at Stanford University.

Faltings and Pappas-Rapoport showed that in equal characteristic p\, affine Schubert varieties are normal\, Cohen-Macaulay\, and Frobenius split. In previous work for split groups\, I added global F-regularity to this list\, with consequences for the theory of perverse mod p sheaves in characteristic p. In this talk\, I will explain joint work with J. Lourenço where we explore similar questions for groups of mixed characteristic.

Disease progression mediated by viral pathogenesis requires numerous intersections between host proteins and viral RNA (vRNA) structures. Host-vRNA complexes drive essential processes in the replication cycles of viruses\; as such\, they represent untapped targets for therapeutic intervention. In my seminar\, I will describe the mechanisms by which the mutually antagonistic human hnRNP A1 and AUF1 proteins compete for the same vRNA structure to differentially regulate Enterovirus (EV) translation efficiency. By screening a library of small molecule RNA binders\, we discovered that the compound DMA-135 binds SLII IRES domain to dose-dependently inhibit viral replication by attenuating viral translation. Serial passaging of EV-A71 in the presence of low doses of DMA-135 selects for revertant viruses with drug-resistant mutations that map to the SLII bulge environment. Comparative structure-function studies reveal that the cellular mechanism of action of DMA-135 is to tip the SLII-hnRNP regulatory axis towards significantly lower levels of IRES-dependent translation\, and the virus can compensate by evolving mutations that restore homeostasis. Our work defines the antiviral mechanism of action of DMA-135\; it demonstrates that functional specificity can be modulated through natural and drug-dependent viral evolution\; and it shows how small molecules can reveal new insights about host-virus interfaces that regulate early stages of EV replication.

In this setup\, the dimer height function becomes additively multivalued with a random monodromy. Given a sequence of graphs approximating the conformal structure of the surface in a suitable way\, the underlying sequence of height functions is expected to converge to the compactified free field on the surface. Recently\, this problem was addressed by Berestycki\, Laslier and Ray in the case when a Riemann surface is approximated by Temperley graphs. Using various probabilistic methods\, they obtained the following universal result: given that the random walk associated with these graphs converges to the Brownian motion on the surface (in an appropriate sense)\, the limit of height functions exists\, is conformally invariant and does not depend on a particular sequence of graphs. However\, the identification of the limit with the compactified free field was missing in this result. In my recent work I am trying to fill this gap by studying the same problem from the perspective of discrete complex analysis. For this purpose\, I consider graphs embedded into locally flat Riemann surfaces with conical singularities and satisfying certain local geometric conditions. In this setup I obtain an analytic description of the limit which allows to identify it with a suitable version of the compactified free field\; I also prove the convergence in some non-Temperlian cases when the surface is generic. A core part of this approach is the regularity theory on t-embeddings recently developed by Chelkak\, Laslier and Russkikh\, as well as an analytic technique linking the problem with Quillen determinant of a family of Cauchy-Riemann operators developed by Dubédat.

The hexanucleotide GGGGCC repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the most frequent genetic cause of both ALS and FTD. RNA-mediated gain of toxicity is critical for the pathogenesis. We employ multiple molecular approaches to understand the regulation of the repeat RNA processing\, uncover genetic modifiers\, and elucidate the influence on global RNA metabolism. We aim to understand the disease mechanisms and identify potential therapeutic targets for C9ORF72-ALS/FTD.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

These two groundbreaking scholars will join the symposium for a keynote conversation—marking the first-ever public conversation between them. The symposium will also feature interactive sessions on anti-racism in healthcare and anti-racism health research. Additional information about the sessions along with registration information is included below. \n\nAll sessions will take place in the Palmer Commons Great Lakes Room (4th Floor). The keynote Conversation will also be available via livestream. More information can be found on the registration page. \n\n10:00 - 11:30 AM: REIMAGINING HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS: CREATING AN ANTI-RACIST AGENDA TO ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY\nInteractive Session hosted by MSHIELD\n\nColor-evasive solutions have failed to achieve racial equity in healthcare. We need real institutional accountability. This session will include an orienting discussion about an anti-racist agenda for healthcare followed by a panel of clinical\, academic\, and community speakers. Afterward\, attendees will engage in small-group discussions to brainstorm strategies and develop concrete action steps to start creating an anti-racist agenda for healthcare.\n\n1:00 - 2:30 PM: KEYNOTE CONVERSATION\nThe keynote session will be a conversation between Dr. Camara Phyllis Jones and Dr. Chandra Ford. Both known for anti-racism scholarship and advocacy\, these two luminaries will help the audience consider how we move past the action of naming racism as a public health issue and towards substantive action and change in our institutions.\n\nDr. Camara Phyllis Jones is a family physician and epidemiologist whose work focuses on naming\, measuring\, and addressing the impacts of racism on the health and well-being of the nation. Dr. Jones serves as a Commissioner on the O'Neill-Lancet Commission on Racism\, Structural Discrimination\, and Global Health\, and is a past president of the American Public Health Association\, a senior fellow at the Morehouse School of Medicine\, and an adjunct professor at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. Dr. Chandra Ford is Professor at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University and the Department of African American Studies and the Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Racism\, Social Justice & Health. Dr. Ford created (with Collins Airhihenbuwa) the Public Health Critical Race Praxis\, a framework for applying Critical Race Theory to public health research. This event will be live streamed. \n\n3:00 - 4:30 PM: CHARTING A CRITICAL COURSE FOR THE STUDY OF RACIAL HEALTH INEQUITIES\nInteractive Session hosted by RacismLab\n\nThis “fireside” discussion will bring together scholars\, including Ryan Petteway and Monica McLemore\, to speak on two major issues in the public health literature on racial health inequities that challenge our ability as a field to maintain an evidence base to support change: (a) health equity tourism\; and (b) conventional public health research on race that is reductionist\, simplistic\, and poorly theorized. After the moderated discussion\, audience members will work in small facilitated groups\, to reimagine academic research that reflects the importance of racial health inequities to public health.

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

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

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition.\n \nThis exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections\, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene\, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, U-M Office of the President\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and U-M Ross School of Business.\n  UID:114750-21833466@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Public Health,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

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:84303-21621249@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:20240327T144856 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240402T113000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:AbbVie Symposium \"Development of a Scalable Route for the Drug-Linker of Immunology ADC ABBV-154\" DESCRIPTION:A scalable route has been developed to the bromoacetamide glucocorticoid drug-linker used in conjugation with the monoclonal antibody (mAb) adalimumab to produce antibody-drug conjugate ABBV-154. Optimization and insights will be discussed into the key transformations and isolations including a challenging acetal deprotection\, amide coupling between an aniline and dipeptide\, phosphate formation via a phosphoramidite displacement and oxidation\, Fmoc cleavage with a continuous extraction\, bromoacetic acid coupling\, and a global acidic deprotection. Notably\, the final deprotection of three t-butyl protecting groups proceeds through several intermediates and is complicated by acetal epimerization. This complex reaction was initially optimized in a batch setup\, but scaling issues prompted the development of a flow process with an impinging jet mixing element.

Coffee and snacks will be available.\n\nAbstract: We are active matter. From molecular motors noisily walking in living cells to the mesmerizing swirls in a starling flock\, systems driven far from equilibrium by a sustained flux of energy through its constituents routinely exhibit stunning emergent phenomena that pose fundamental challenges to our understanding of the natural world. Much is known about what patterns and dynamics active systems can exhibit\, but the inverse problem of controlling active matter is less explored. I will discuss our current work on searching for design principles to control localized excitations\, drops etc.\, in active materials using ideas from control theory\, optimal transport and symmetry-based approaches. I will conclude by highlighting future directions for embodying function\, programmable response and computation in biological and synthetic active systems.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/MrNjW\n\nMengzi claims that human beings have natural affective responses that lead them toward being good\, but virtue requires extending and modifying these feeling so that they arise in all of the appropriate circumstances. In this talk\, I argue that\, for Mengzi\, the cultivation of emotions is based not on judgment or analogy but on perception. The goal of cultivation is to shape oneself so that the world appears in a certain way.\n \nFranklin Perkins is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa and editor of the journal Philosophy East and West.

We develop a new measure of religious adherence\, which is granular in both time and space\, using anonymized mobile phone logs. We use this measure to shed light on the nature of religious practice in Islamic societies. First\, we show that religious adherence rises sharply when districts in Afghanistan fall under Taliban control. Second\, when climate shocks create adverse economic conditions\, people become more religiously observant -- particularly in unirrigated areas where climate matters most to agricultural production. More broadly\, our results indicate that economic and political adversity cause individuals to become more religiously adherent. \n\n\nThis talk is presented jointly by the Political Economy Workshop (PEW) and the Economic Development Seminar\, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics through a generous gift given by Jay and Beth Rakow.

Many of the discussed electrosynthetic methodologies are possible because of a synergy between conventional transition metal catalysts for cross coupling and redox-active mediators developed by the battery community. Electrocatalytic reactions are dramatically improved with the incorporation of co-catalytic quantities of redox mediators that serve to assist in electron transfer\, protect catalysts from degradation by over-oxidation/reduction\, or promote in the formation of otherwise inaccessible catalytic intermediates. Additionally\, a general approach to cross-coupling will be presented that relies on the electrosynthesis of organometallic reagents that undergo radical capture and coupling.

Here\, we will discuss our recent efforts to probe the NLO properties of an emerging class of polar vdW semiconductors and extend vdW nonlinear optics to include the often-overlooked spatial degree of freedom of light. First\, we will highlight our studies of bismuth telluro-halide crystals\, where we observe giant second order optical nonlinearities in the telecom band and second-harmonic textures that are highly correlated to the orientation of their polar domains. We will then turn our focus to nonlinear frequency-mixing processes in vdW crystals driven by twisted light. Here\, we demonstrate the harmonic scaling of orbital angular momentum and the free tuning of the wavelength\, topological charge\, and radial index of vortex light-fields\, both supported by atomically thin semiconductors. Our work points to new materials and structured-illumination-based methods to dramatically extend the versatility of vdW materials for classical and quantum communication nanotechnologies.\n\nBio: Prashant Padmanabhan is a Staff Scientist and Principal Investigator at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/pkDjq\n\nWith a history spanning just over 100 years\, Korean art song (Gagok)\, is an equally sophisticated and beautiful genre as German Lieder or French mélodies. The repertoire has received almost no attention by performers and scholars\, however. The majority of those who do study and perform it tend to be of Korean background and already have mastery of the language.\n \n Since 2020\, Dr. Matthew Thompson has run a FEAST research team at U-M dedicated to making Korean art song more accessible to English speakers. What are the challenges of encountering this repertoire as a non-native speaker? What materials and resources exist to aid those interested in further study? Dr. Thompson will present both on his research and on the materials that he is developing to help more people engage with this amazing repertoire.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Looking at examples from popular culture and contemporary young adult texts\, including on social media\, they will also provide an introduction to some of the main coordinates of asexuality studies including its conceptual contributions around rethinking compulsory sexuality\, romance\, and kinship.

Maritime Violence and State Formation in the Indian Ocean's Seas in the Medieval Period DESCRIPTION:Piracy in the Horn of Africa and Arabian seaboards has been a major dynamic of modern geopolitics of the Western Indian Ocean (and very dramatically so in recent months)\, and the phenomenon of maritime predation is certainly not new in the region. Moreover\, the notion of thieves of the high seas is visible in medieval Arabic sources. As in other world contexts\, the very definition of the terms “piracy” and “naval predation” is of the essence. For the period between the 7th and the 16th century\, the maritime and naval capability of large and small polities active in the Red Sea area has been the subject of recent scholarship that is contributing new data and concepts\, enhancing our understanding of regional and trans-regional economic networks and the development of premodern states. This inquiry also illuminates long-term structures\, such as the role of islands and maritime geography in general\, that can illuminate more recent events through comparison and contrast. This presentation will outline relevant sources and concepts and comment on the recent historiography.\n \nRoxani Eleni Margariti is an associate professor at the Department of Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies at Emory University. She is the author of *Aden and the Indian Ocean Trade: 150 Years in the Life of a Medieval Arabian Port* (University of North Carolina Press\, 2007) and is currently completing a book manuscript entitled *Insular Crossroads: The Dahlak Archipelago\, Red Sea Islands\, and Indian Ocean History*\, in which she examines the history of a Muslim\, island polity in medieval and early modern times. She also co-authors an academic blog Archives of the Sea.\n\nRegister to the event: http://bit.ly/48BQxpS UID:119886-21843734@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/119886 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,cmenas,Discussion,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240402T180041 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240402T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240402T230000 SUMMARY:Other:Board Game Night With Michigan Games and Cards!

He has also done voiceover work for hundreds of video games\, commercials\, films and TV series such as Fox’s The Simpsons and Futurama\; Disney’s Kim Possible\, Mulan and Mulan 2\; Nickelodeon’s\nAvatar: The Last Airbender\, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. \n\nTakei’s acting credits include co-starring in five Star Trek movies and appearances on such TV series as Fresh Of the Boat\, Supah Ninjas\, Hawaii Five-0\, The New Normal\, The Big Bang Theory\, Heroes\, Psych\, Will & Grace\, Miami Vice\, MacGyver\, The Six Million Dollar Man\, Mission: Impossible and The Twilight Zone\, among numerous others.\n\nIn 2015\, Takei made his Broadway debut in the musical Allegiance\, which was inspired by his true-life experiences during World War II. In 2017\, he starred in a revival of Stephen Sondheim's Pacific Overtures in New York City.\n\nTakei is the author of four books\, including his autobiography To the Stars. His fifth book\, the New York Times bestselling graphic memoir They Called Us Enemy was released in July 2019.\n\nTakei has served as the spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign’s Coming Out Project and was Cultural Affairs Chairman of the Japanese American Citizens League.

It started in the Chicago area in the early 1960s\, with Madcat playing folk/blues on guitar and harmonica. By the late 1960s he had immersed himself in the Chicago Blues and was studying harmonica with Big Walter Horton. In the early 1970s\, Madcat moved to Ann Arbor\, where he was a key presence in two of Ann Arbor's finest progressive rock bands: New Heavenly Blue and Sky King. By the mid 1970s Madcat was touring the world with jazz pianist Dave Brubeck. In the 1980s\, Madcat went solo infusing the folk/blues tradition with elements of rock and jazz. In 1990\, Madcat teamed up with guitarist/singer Shari Kane to form the duo Madcat & Kane. For twenty-four years\, they toured nationally and internationally.\n\nTonight’s celebration features Peter Madcat Ruth’s C.A.R.Ma. Quartet with John Churchville on tabla\, Brennan Andes on bass\, and guitarist Dan Ripke. Special guests include Rachael Davis\, Seth Bernard\, Shari Kane\, and Nashville based harmonica virtuoso Buddy Greene.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4632/4633 for more detail.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

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.

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

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition.\n \nThis exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections\, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene\, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, U-M Office of the President\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and U-M Ross School of Business.\n  UID:114750-21833467@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Public Health,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

In this talk\, we will explain the approach of Ellenberg-Tran-Westerland to produce an asymptotic bound on the homology of Hurwitz spaces\, starting with integrating the classical Fox-Neuwirth stratification of configuration spaces into the twisted setting. Time permitting\, we will explore ways to expand this framework to study the homology of generalized Hurwitz spaces over an arbitrary curve\, which has potential applications in number theory.

Enthusiasts touted AI's ability to turn anyone into a writer or an artist\, to make workers more efficient and companies richer—that is\, if it didn't become powerful enough to destroy humanity altogether. Skeptics pointed out that AI language models spout falsehoods and facts with equal confidence\, can churn out disinformation too quickly for fact-checkers to keep up\, and threaten writers' jobs and livelihoods.\n \nIn science communication\, where accuracy and understanding are priorities\, is there any place for AI tools? Sophie Bushwick has been covering this technology through the generative AI boom\, exploring how artificial intelligence models work and how they're impacting a variety of fields\, including medicine and education. She will draw on that experience to discuss AI's strengths and flaws\, and what scientists and science communicators should consider when deciding how best to use it. \n\n*The LSI's SciComm Speaker Series highlights the importance of disseminating scientific findings beyond the walls of the academy and effectively communicating the impact of publicly-funded research. This annual event provides world-leading science writers and communicators with an opportunity to share their experiences with faculty\, staff and students\, while also tapping into U-M's vast scientific research community.*\n\n\nAbout the speaker:\nSophie Bushwick is a science and technology journalist based in New York City and is currently working as senior news editor at New Scientist. She has more than a decade of experience as a freelance writer and staff editor at outlets including Scientific American\, where she covered the recent generative AI boom\, Popular Science\, Discover Magazine and Gizmodo\; and she continues to make regular appearances on Science Friday. Her work spans digital and print\, podcasts and radio\, TV news and TikTok. In her spare time\, she likes to read\, run\, learn about the evolution of fairy tales and take in as much theater as possible.

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:84303-21621250@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:20240418T123127 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240403T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240403T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:WellPower Virtual Career Fair (RSVP to Drop-in) DESCRIPTION:WellPower is dedicated to making well-being a reality for everyone in Denver\, and you power the change we create in our community.\n\nThis will be held via Zoom.

When equity shares trade in frictional asset markets\, the firm’s problem is time-inconsistent\, and it is as if it faces quasi-hyperbolic discounting. The transmission of trading frictions to the real economy crucially depends on the firms’ ability to commit. In a calibrated economy without commitment\, larger trading frictions imply lower capital and production. In contrast\, if firms can commit\, trading frictions affect asset prices but have no aggregate effect on capital and production. Our findings rationalize several empirical regularities on liquidity and investment.\n\nThis talk is presented by the Macroeconomics Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Michael Beauregard Fund for Macroeconomics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

Instead of broadcasting songs\, the carillon has a speaking voice. Artist and performer Julie Zhu talks through a convolution of her voice and bell sounds to passersby\, surprising them with specific details surveilled from the tower\, goading them into conversation. \n\nWhen a carillon cyborg finally acquires language\, what will she say? How might listeners – who don’t have a choice whether to listen – react to the authority of a public musical instrument who necessarily has opinions? *bellvoix* makes obvious the specific social contract between the carillon and the community it serves\, woos\, or antagonizes. Who is the carillon? And why do we bell?\n\nThis world premiere of \"bellvoix\" (2023) by Julie Zhu\, President's Postdoctoral Fellow and Assistant Professor (performing arts technology)\, is a 30 minute performance. It is co-sponsored by the U-M Arts Initiative and part of the series \"XR/XF: Extended Realities/Extended Feminisms\" with the Digital Studies Institute. \n\n***\nThe Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells\, is located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Earplugs are available from the carillonist upon request. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible.

The Zoom call will be locked 10 minutes after the start of the presentation. \n\nTexting in Mixed-Mode Studies: Results from Recent Research Experimentation \n\nUsing multiple modes of contact has been found to increase participation in surveys over a single contact mode. Text messaging has emerged as a new mode to contact survey participants in mixed-mode survey designs\, especially for surveys that include web and/or phone data collection. However\, it has been unclear how to best combine text messages with mailings and other outreach contacts to improve response rates and data quality. At NORC\, we launched a program to explore the effectiveness of using text messaging as a contact mode and embedded experiments in multiple NORC studies to better understand the impact and benefits of texting. In this seminar\, we highlight results from our recent experimental research\, including the effectiveness of text invitations and text reminders at different points in the contact sequence\, the time-of-day text messages are sent\, and whether text reminders are more effective than postcard reminders. Objectives for this seminar include: to understand how texting is used for contacting potential survey respondents at NORC\, share examples from texting on specific NORC projects\, and discuss results from recent studies on how best to use texting.\n\nLeah Christian is Senior Vice President directing the Methodological and Quantitative Social Sciences department. Prior to joining NORC\, Christian worked at Nielsen and the Pew Research Center. Christian brings over 20 years of experience in survey methodology and panel research\, including work with federal\, academic\, commercial\, and nonprofit organizations. She is an expert in data collection modes\, mixed-mode survey and panel designs\, and questionnaire design and measurement error. Her research also focuses on evaluating big data for use in social science research\, integrating survey and big data\, and using survey data to correct for errors in big data. Christian is co-author of Internet\, Phone\, Mail\, and Mixed-Mode Surveys: The Tailored Design Method and has published 15 articles on research methodology in a variety of journals and presented more than 50 conference\, webinar and short courses on research methodology and data science. Christian was a recipient of AAPOR’s Warren J. Mitofsky’s Innovators Award in 2017 for her work with a research team developing web-push data collection methodologies. Christian holds a PhD in sociology from Washington State University. \n\nChristopher Hansen is a Research Methodologist with over 10 years of experience in applied research. During his time at NORC\, he has worked in the capacity of methodologist on numerous projects in the areas of survey and questionnaire design and cognitive and usability testing. These projects include the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) Labs Methodology Review\, the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods with Harvard University\, the CDC’s Survey of Today’s Adolescent Relationships and Transitions\, and the CDC’s COVID Experiences Longitudinal Surveys. Hansen teaches courses in research methodology at Loyola University Chicago and DePaul University and has presented on topics related to survey design and measurement at national conferences\, including the American Association for Public Opinion Research and the American Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management. Hansen holds a master’s degree in sociology from the University of Chicago. \n\nMartha McRoy is a Senior Research Methodologist who specializes in survey sample design\, questionnaire development\, fieldwork monitoring and implementation\, quality control\, and data weighting for web\, mail\, telephone\, face-to-face\, and mixed-mode surveys. McRoy provides rigor in all stages of survey research with project work covering a breadth of topics including public opinion\, religion\, health\, justice\, and transportation. Her experimental work focuses on mode shifts and bridge studies\, predicting response propensities and survey outcome dispositions of sampled respondents\, increasing response rates for hard-to-reach populations\, and developing tools to monitor data collection activity. McRoy brings over ten years of experience in survey statistics and methodology\, including working at Abt Associates\, Westat\, the Pew Research Center\, and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development. She holds a master’s degree in survey methodology from the University of Michigan.\n\nZoe Slowinski is a Research Methodologist with over 12 years of applied research experience in the U.S. and internationally\, including work with federal\, academic\, and nonprofit organizations. Her work focuses on survey design\, measurement error\, and qualitative data collection. At NORC\, she develops questionnaires\, conducts cognitive and usability interviews\, plans and moderates focus groups\, and analyzes data for clients such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics\, National Science Foundation\, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Slowinski's experimental work focuses on the use of texting and email as survey contact modes. She holds a master’s degree in public policy from George Mason University.

The exhibition will take place in various locations\, including a shipping container - the XR/XF pod - that will travel between 2 locations in Ann Arbor during the first two weeks of April.\n\nThe city of Ann Arbor has always been feminized. The story goes that in 1824\, John Allen and Elisha W. Rumsey founded the town and named it after their wives\, who were both named Ann. Since then\, the city has been anthropomorphized as a feminine body throughout the years. In the 1980s\, the University of Michigan’s football rivals in Ohio invented the infamous slogan\, “Ann Arbor is a Whore!” as a method to jeer at the opposition. Since then\, this offensive slogan has spread across the US and reappears every Fall during football season in Ann Arbor\, proliferating through both physical and digital objects. As one recent social media commenter notes: “That's what happens when you have a chick name for your city.”\n\nWith this project\, we strike/suspend gender from the city’s name: Ann Arbor is neither trophy wife nor whore. Instead\, we pose Ann Arbor as a feminist cyborg\, a feminist map\, and a creative\, participatory organism. We construct the body of the city differently\, with artistic intervention and cyberfeminist means: physical and digital installation\, activations of public space\, music\, performances\, and workshops. From the Bell Tower on central campus to the parking lot of the Liberty Annex\, we offer a creative activation that is both physical and digital and a fluid/complex/distributed image of the city through both XR and feminist means.\n\nCurated by Alina Nazmeeva and Yvette Granata.

However\, I will argue that there is compelling evidence that some version of it should be true in quantum gravity. Working towards a quantum gravitational formulation of the WCCC\, I will prove “Cryptographic Censorship”\, a theorem that provides a general condition for the formation of event horizons in AdS/CFT: sufficiently (pseudo)random boundary dynamics. I will also provide a classification of sizes of singularities\, and show that “large”\, “classical” singularities – the ones that the WCCC should rule out – are compatible with sufficiently (pseudo)random dynamics. Thus\, if such singularities are indeed described by (pseudo)random dynamics\, then they cannot exist in the absence of event horizons.

Using linked administrative data and an event study design we show that the shift to unilateral divorce affected couples' partnership choice by increasing cohabitation and the degree of assortative mating. While this shift did not have a significant impact on the choice of asset division regime\, the increase in divorce rates were largest among those marriages choosing community property. The same reforms also led to an overall increase in women's leisure time. To rationalize these empirical patterns\, we develop an equilibrium limited-commitment model of partnership formation\, asset division regime choice\, and household dissolution that allows couples to choose between cohabitation and marriage and for spouses to cease cooperation within marriage. We use our model to evaluate the life-time welfare value of divorce laws and asset division regime choice\, and also consider the role of a homemaker compensation clause. \n\n\nThis talk is presented by the Labor Economics Seminar\, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Abraham and Thelma Zwerdling Labor Economics Program.

Quantum entanglement can occur on a large scale with millions of electrons\, leading to \"strange metals\" and novel superconductors which can conduct electricity without resistance even at relatively high temperatures. Remarkably\, related entanglement structures also arise across the horizon of a black hole\, and give rise to Hawking’s black hole entropy. I will describe a simple model of many particle quantum entanglement which has shed light on long-standing problems in these distinct physical systems.

The primary goal of NIF is to demonstrate fusion ignition (and then as high-as-possible yield)\, an un-precedented proof-of-principle. On August 8\, 2021\, fusion ignition was demonstrated at NIF according to several ignition metrics. This was achieved using the indirectly driven laser fusion concept\, where laser light is converted to x-rays upon striking the interior of a high-Z cavity\, creating a radiation oven for a capsule comprised of heavy hydrogen fuel (which when driven to appropriate conditions undergoes fusion) surrounded by an ablator. The experiment\, N210808\, burned about 2% of the fuel\, using 1.9 MJ of laser energy and producing 1.37 MJ of fusion yield. Repeat experiments showed variability to unintentional degradations such as capsule quality and low mode asymmetries\, and so\, to enhance robustness\, a larger capsule was fielded\, using 7% more laser energy\, i.e.\, 2.05 MJ. This experiment (N221204)\, and its repeat (N230729)\, achieved 3.15 and 3.88 MJ of fusion yield\, or a target gain of 1.5 -1.9\, burning up to 5% of the fuel.\n This presentation reviews background material and guiding principles\, as well as important lessons learned. Additionally\, the challenges that lie ahead of the national inertial confinement fusion program will be outlined.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Denise Hinkel is a physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Lab and serves as Modeling Lead for the Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) Program as well as Associate Division Leader for ICF and High Energy Density Physics (HED) in the Design Physics Division. She is also technical coordinator of a special program. Denise’s expertise spans theoretical analyses to massively parallel computing\, basic plasma physics to reduced model descriptions and design and analysis of laser-based experiments using radiation-hydrodynamics simulations. She applied her design expertise to a series of NIF shots known as the “High Foot”\, where for the first time the energy released in fusion reactions exceeded the energy used to compress the fuel. Denise has served as the point-of-contact for Laboratory Directed Research and Development\, managing the portfolio and developing strategic plans with her directorate and institution. Denise received the MS and PhD in Physics from UCLA and became Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2007. In 2022\, she served as Chair of the APS Division of Plasma Physics. She has received multiple awards\, has provided physics outreach to students of all ages\, and has served on many review committees.\n\nThis is a hybrid event.

This fails tremendously for affine varieties. However\, group structures tend to be rigidifying\, and indeed homomorphisms of affine groups are sometimes also parameterized by a scheme. In this talk\, I will discuss the general problem of parameterizing homomorphisms of algebraic groups\, both over a field (at first) and over a general base (by the end). Over a field\, the main result has a surprisingly elementary proof\, which we will describe. We will also give several examples throughout which illustrate strange phenomena that crop up.

The advent of single-cell chromatin accessibility (scATAC-seq) and multiome (scRNA+ATAC-seq) brings new machine learning challenges and opportunities to link chromatin state to developmental trajectories\, gene regulation\, and even higher order chromatin organization. We will present recent models from our group to exploit these new single-cell data modalities: CellSpace\, a sequence-informed embedding algorithm for scATAC-seq that learns biologically meaningful latent structure while mitigating batch effects\; SCARlink\, a gene-level regression model for multiome data that identifies cell-type-specific enhancers and enables interpretation of disease-associated genetic variants\; and ChromaFold\, a deep learning model that predicts the 3D contact map from scATAC-seq alone.\n\nhttps://umich-health.zoom.us/j/93929606089?pwd=SHh6R1FOQm8xMThRemdxTEFMWWpVdz09 UID:119341-21842589@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/119341 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Applications,Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Cardiovascular,Chemistry,Discussion,Education,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Graduate Students,Human Genetics,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Mathematics,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Pediatrics,Physics,Precision Health,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall and NCRC #520, Room 1122 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240418T123124 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240403T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240403T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Explore EA Virtual Series: Accounting for Inclusion\, DEI at EisnerAmper DESCRIPTION:This Spring\, EisnerAmper presents a trio of enlightening virtual sessions that offer you a unique chance to connect with accounting professionals\, delve into DEI initiatives\, and explore career and internship opportunities with us.\n\n🌟 Session 2: Accounting for Inclusion\, DEIat EisnerAmper\nPrepare to witness the transformative power of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) in shaping the future landscape of the accounting industry.\n\n🔍 Key Insights:\n- Explore how EisnerAmper activelychampions DEI values.\n- Discover how DEI fosters an innovative and collaborative workplace.\n- Gain a deeper understanding of the vital role DEI plays in shaping the future of our industry.\n\n📅 Session Date & Time:\nWednesday\, April 3rd at 4PM to 5PM (CT)\n\nJoin us in this enlightening session to broaden your perspective and see how EisnerAmper is at the forefront of fostering an inclusive and innovative workplace.\n\n📌 Register Here!\nhttps://flows.beamery.com/eisnerampercareers/eisneramper-spring-virtual-series-accounting-for-inclusion--dei-at-eisneramper-xvkjymwcg\n\nWe're excited to have you join the conversation!\n\nBest regards\,\nThe EisnerAmper Campus Recruitment Team UID:119172-21842295@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/119172 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240313T110842 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240403T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240403T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:How an E-Bike Startup is Looking to Change the Way Africa Moves DESCRIPTION:4 PM | April 3 | Blau Colloquium\, 5th floor of the Blau Building at the Ross School of Business\n\nwahu! is the first Ghanaian brand to produce electric vehicles domestically.
