With its sonic palette encompassing everything from fuzzed-out guitars and industrial-leaning beats to gilded pedal steel and Kiah’s exquisitely graceful banjo work\, Still + Bright fully affirms her as an artist of both daring originality and uncompromising depth.\n\nOn Wary + Strange\, Kiah offered up a collection of spellbinding songs detailing her experience with grief and trauma and alienation\, each illuminating the extraordinary impact of her songwriting. An electrifying showcase for her singular musicality and soul-stirring voice\, Kiah’s Rounder Records debut soon found many leading critics hailing her as a formidable new talent\, adding to a list of accolades that includes earning a Grammy nomination for her powerhouse anthem “Black Myself.”\n\nWhile Still + Bright undoubtedly finds Kiah pushing into new emotional and musical terrain\, the album also makes for a vital new addition to a body of work largely dedicated to exploring the struggle and joy of true self-discovery. “With all of my music\, I’d love to leave people with the feeling that it’s okay to go off the beaten path and to structure your life in a way that feels right to you\,” says Kiah. “And just like with the last record\, I hope that these songs can help people out if they’re going through a difficult time. That’s what I always hope for more than anything: for my music to continue to be a part of the healing process for anyone who might need it.” UID:124559-21853200@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124559 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241111T121641 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241119T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241119T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:Roel Arazo\, euphonium DESCRIPTION:Undergraduate student Roel Arazo performs a recital.

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:124224-21852745@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:20241120T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241120T170000 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.

How do you strategically embed your desired impacts into your scholarly work? This workshop is anchored in reflective practice to support scholars in articulating how engagement and impact work connects with scholarly identity and ambition. Participants will consider different elements of an impact identity – the unique confluence of your personal preferences and values\, your scholarship\, societal needs\, your institutional context\, and your capacities and skills.

We have thus far focused in the nucleus on creating kilobase-resolution maps of higher-order folding of the chromatin fiber and understanding how classic epigenetic modifications work through long-range connections to govern genome function in neurodevelopment. We have developed and applied new molecular and computational technologies to elucidate chromatin folding patterns at kilobase-resolution genome-wide\, thus discovering that long-range looping interactions in cis and inter-chromosomal interactions in trans change substantially during neural lineage commitment\, somatic cell reprogramming\, activation of post-mitotic neural circuits\, and in neurological disorders. We have demonstrated that cohesin-mediated loops are necessary for the establishment of new gene expression programs in post-mitotic neurons\, including the upregulation of genes encoding axon guidance\, dendritic spine morphology\, and synaptic plasticity during neuron maturation in vivo as well as activity-dependent transcription during neural stimulation in vitro. We have also identified cohesin-mediated loops anchored by divergently-oriented CTCF binding sites that are necessary and sufficient for the firing efficiency and localization of human replication origins during S phase re-entry after mitosis. Using fragile X syndrome as a natural perturbation\, we have uncovered BREACHes (Beacons of Repeat Expansion Anchored by Contacting Heterochromatin) - rare inter-chromosomal interactions connecting heterochromatinized synaptic genes susceptible to repeat instability\, thus providing early insight into the genome’s structure-function relationship. Here\, I will present new unpublished data describing 3D genome miswiring in a human neuron model with rare familial Alzheimer’s mutations as well as the functional link among loops and activity-dependent gene expression during neural circuit activation in vitro and in vivo. The long-term goal of the Cremins lab is to elucidate how the genome’s structure-function relationship influences synaptic plasticity and neurophysiology during memory encoding and consolidation and how this goes awry in intractable neurological disorders. \n\nBio:\n\nJennifer Phillips-Cremins\, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor and Deans' Faculty Fellow in Engineering and Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania with primary appointments in the Departments of Genetics and Bioengineering. Dr. Cremins obtained her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in the laboratory of Andres Garcia. She conducted a multi-disciplinary postdoc in the laboratories of Job Dekker and Victor Corces. Dr. Cremins runs the Laboratory of Chromatin and Spatial Neurobiology at UPenn. Her primary research interests lie in understanding the long-range chromatin architecture mechanisms that govern neural specification and synaptic plasticity in healthy neurons and how chromatin-synapse communication is dysregulated in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases.

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:84303-21621447@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:20241120T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241120T170000 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).

One motivation for this model is to describe black holes in Einstein gravity in higher dimensions. Indeed\, the equations of this model generalize an uncontrolled truncation of the BFSS model\, but correctly describe the large N limit of our model. The entropy at low energies has a non-trivial scaling with temperature\, with an exponent that we calculate\, and we will discuss additional unusual low temperature features in this model.

Political Anxieties in the Caucasus: the Georgian National Narrative Between War and Peace DESCRIPTION:Against the backdrop of Russian aggression in Ukraine and the renewed conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh\, anxiety about Georgia’s fate and its place in the region has taken over the quotidian life of ordinary people. Veiled as peace-preservation efforts\, Georgia’s ruling party has made a sweeping turn away from the country’s European course towards a Russian-style authoritarian rule. The waves of mass protests that surged in response to the government’s actions are part of the broader charged atmosphere in which national anxiety from being a small country shapes not only political rhetoric\, but the sense of ordinary life in Georgia. In this lecture\, Batiashvili explores the historical and cultural antecedents of the anxiety rooted in what Timothy Snyder calls the “deep narratives” of the region. Based on the ethnographic studies among politically active youth\, ethnic Armenians in Tbilisi\, and the community of Caucasian highlanders\, Batiashvili examines different facets of political and cultural anxiety that have prevailed in the Caucasus since the collapse of the Soviet Union.\n \n Nutsa Batiashvili is Professor of Anthropology\, Dean of the Graduate School\, and Director of the “Memory and Anxiety Research Lab” at the Free University of Tbilisi. She obtained her PhD in Anthropology from Washington University in St Louis\, and her MA and BA in Psychology from Tbilisi State University. Her current research focuses on the Caucasian Highlanders and ethnic Armenians in Tbilisi. Her collaborative research projects on \"The Anthropology of Anxiety\" and \"Memory and Anxiety\" have been funded by the Wenner-Gren Foundation\, James McDonnell Foundation\, Templeton Foundation\, and Georgian National Science Foundation. Her book \"The Bivocal Nation: Memory and Identity on the Edge of Empire\" (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2018) is about a divided nation and polarized notions of nationhood. Her second book\, \"The Anthropology of Anxiety in a Small Country\" (in progress)\, interrogates anxiety as a collective and political phenomenon based on ethnographic data gathered over more than ten years.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

Their unique capability to produce a highly reactive environment at moderate gas temperatures enables several emerging applications with the potential to contribute to health care and a sustainable future. Low temperature plasmas offer fertile ground for many interesting often multi-disciplinary fundamental studies with direct societal benefit. We will report on several fundamental case studies of interactions of plasmas with liquids\, bacteria\, virus and catalysts in the context of decontamination\, water treatment\, materials synthesis and chemical conversion. The case studies often involve a detailed comparison between diagnostics and modeling which allowed us to uniquely identify mechanisms and rate limiting steps. While these studies have often been conducted in highly controlled environments and with canonical reactor setups\, such studies provide insights that are critical for process development and might open the path towards a model of science driving technology development.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nPeter Bruggeman is a Distinguished McKnight University Professor and the Ernst Eckert Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota. His research is focused on low temperature plasma science and engineering with applications in health and sustainability. He also serves as the Director of Graduate Studies of Mechanical Engineering and the Director of the High Temperature and Plasma Laboratory. Peter was an Assistant Professor of Applied Physics at the Eindhoven University of Technology\, the Netherlands\, from 2009 until he joined the University of Minnesota in 2013. He serves as an editorial board member of several journals\, served on the National Academies Decadal Study of Plasma Science (Plasma 2020) committee\, and co-edited the 2017 and 2022 Plasma Roadmap contributing to shape research directions for the field of low temperature plasma.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted both in person and on Zoom.

DESCRIPTION:With the results of the 2024 presidential election\, it is clear that the majority of Latino men turned away from the Democratic party’s candidate to vote for the Republican this cycle. Not only has the media been consumed with understanding what happened\, countless news reports offer shock\, even disgust\, at a voting segment presumed to be an essential part of the Democratic base. How could these men not have understood “the assignment”? While the election results may have shocked observers around the world\, winning a US election with the support of Latino voters is not new. It is a phenomenon that has been growing in ebbs and flows over the last twenty years since George W. Bush received 40 percent of the Latino vote to win the presidency in 2004. Join us for an informal conversation with Dr. Lorena Chambers about Latino voting trends in the 2024 election and their historical antecedents.\n\nA scholar of cultural\, gender\, and Latina/o history\, Dr. Lorena Chambers is a postdoctoral research fellow with the Inclusive History Project at the University of Michigan and is affiliated with the Department of History\, where she is writing a manuscript based on her dissertation: “From Statecraft to Stagecraft: The Politics of Peddling ‘Mexicanidad’ in US Culture\, 1886-1906.” Her second book project\, premised on oral histories\, primary sources\, and her professional work experience\, chronicles the history of Latino voter outreach of the Democratic establishment from 2000 through the 2024 presidential election. She is one of two women\, and the only Latina\, to have produced broadcast commercials for a US presidential campaign.

Woytinsky Lecture - Affirmative Action: Logic\, Measurement\, and Evidence DESCRIPTION:Using traditional American\, race-conscious university admissions as the example\, this paper considers the logic that underpins economists' and statisticians' analysis of affirmative action. The logic includes sufficient statistics\, statistical discrimination\, and comparisons of distributions. I explain how to measure rigorously the extent of affirmative action that is being practiced. Finally\, I analyze numerous race-blind alternatives to race-conscious affirmative action\, including plans based on historic differences\, plans based on socioeconomic data\, plans based on secondary school data\, plans based on precise geography\, and plans that combine all of the aforementioned approaches. I show the extent to which each alternative sacrifices the merit of a university's admitted class in order to accommodate race-blindness.

Click here to RSVP for the virtual via Zoom discussion: https://www.cew.umich.edu/events/virtual-judith-butler-whos-afraid-of-gender-book-group\n\nIn Who’s Afraid of Gender?\, Butler aims to address the following question: “What kind of phantasm has gender become\, and what anxieties\, fears\, and hatreds does it collect and mobilize?” (36). While doing so\, Butler examines how this phantasm relates to today’s “myriad acts of cancellation\, pathologization\, criminalization\, and delegitimation . . . seeking to destroy freedoms and powers that social movements on the Left have struggled for decades to establish” (24). The book is a timely and necessary investigation into the weaponization of “gender” as a phantasm invoked by those calling “for the elimination of gender education\, the censorship of texts concerned with gender\, and the disenfranchisement or criminalization of transgender or genderqueer people” (36).\n\n--------------------------------------------\n\nNational Bestseller. Named a Best Book of 2024 (so far) by NPR\, Harper’s Bazaar\, W\, and Esquire\, and a Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Time\, Los Angeles Times\, Elle\, Cosmopolitan\, Kirkus\, Literary Hub\, Autostraddle\, The Millions\, Electric Literature\, and them.\n\n“A profoundly urgent intervention.” —Naomi Klein\n\n“A timely must-read for anyone actively invested in reimagining collective futurity.” —Claudia Rankine\n\nFrom a global icon\, a bold\, essential account of how a fear of gender is fueling reactionary politics around the world.\n\nJudith Butler\, the groundbreaking thinker whose iconic book Gender Trouble redefined how we think about gender and sexuality\, confronts the attacks on “gender” that have become central to right-wing movements today. Global networks have formed “anti–gender ideology movements” that are dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous\, perhaps diabolical\, threat to families\, local cultures\, civilization—and even “man” himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures\, this movement has sought to nullify reproductive justice\, undermine protections against sexual and gender violence\, and strip trans and queer people of their rights to pursue a life without fear of violence.\n\nThe aim of Who’s Afraid of Gender? is not to offer a new theory of gender but to examine how “gender” has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes\, fascist formations\, and trans-exclusionary feminists. In their vital\, courageous new book\, Butler illuminates the concrete ways that this phantasm of “gender” collects and displaces anxieties and fears of destruction. Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of “critical race theory” and xenophobic panics about migration\, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality\, fuels aggressive nationalism\, and leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation.\n\nAn essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment\, Who’s Afraid of Gender? is a bold call to refuse the alliance with authoritarian movements and to make a broad coalition with all those whose struggle for equality is linked with fighting injustice. Imagining new possibilities for both freedom and solidarity\, Butler offers us a hopeful work of social and political analysis that is both timely and timeless—a book whose verve and rigor only they could deliver.

Since expanders are of great interest in mathematics and computer science\, Friedman's paper (which is ~100 pages long) has attracted a lot of attention in the last two decades and more efficient proofs of his result (which yield vast generalizations) have been found. However\, all the approaches to Friedman's theorem and its extensions relied on very delicate and sophisticated combinatorial considerations\, making it hard to apply those ideas to other settings of interest.\n\nIn this talk I will discuss a fundamentally new (analytic) approach to Friedman's theorem which yields an elementary proof that can be written in just a few pages. Our approach also allows us to establish strong convergence (i.e. sharp norm estimates) for much more general models of tuples of random matrices (random regular graphs corresponding to the particular case of adding independent random permutations). These results can be used to show that certain infinite objects admit very strong finite dimensional approximations\, which has important implications in operator algebras\, spectral geometry\, and differential geometry.\n\nThis is joint work with Chi-Fang Chen\, Joel Tropp\, and Ramon van Handel.

Join us for an informal conversation with Professors John Whittier-Ferguson and Andrea Zemgulys about Woolf\, her novel\, and its historical context. Light refreshments will be served.\n\n “In the middle of my party\, here's death\" Clarissa Dalloway thinks to herself\, as she hears about the suicide of a veteran that occurred not long before her party began. That veteran's story has unfolded in Woolf's novel in parallel with the story of Clarissa Dalloway's day of preparations for her gala. One of Woolf''s urgent questions in Mrs. Dalloway is whether it's possible to bring the \"home front\" into some kind of equilibrium or proportion with the \"war front\" and how (if?) that balance might be struck. This is not only a problem for the millions of veterans and bereaved family members moving through the streets of London (and all the cities and towns of Europe) after 1918\; it's also an aesthetic problem for Woolf the novelist. Among other topics we may cover in our conversation will be the challenges Woolf faced in writing this deeply moving and startlingly unusual war novel and the uses she made of the war in her work.\n\nThis event is in conjunction with the exhibit Mrs. Dalloway and WWI: Home Front and War Front\, on display in the Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room until Dec. 13th.

DESCRIPTION:Entropy theory for group actions has been extended beyond the case of amenable groups\, with key insights and results initiated by Lewis Bowen and Brandon Seward. We will briefly discuss and put in context some of their definitions\, and then proceed to consider negatively curved groups. We will explain a Shannon-Macmillan-Breiman theorem for pointwise convergence of information functions along (almost all almost-) geodesics in the group. We will then define “orbital entropy” using the limits in the SMB theorem\, and using an important inequality due to Seward\, show that it coincides with Rokhlin entropy. \n\n Based on joint work with F. Pogorzelski (Leipzig University).

This property is known in the literature as backward propagation of chaos. Afterwards\, it will be provided the suitable framework for the stability of the aforementioned property to hold. In other words\, assuming a sequence of mean-field systems of BSDEs which propagate chaos\, then their solutions\, as the multitude of the system equations grows to infinity\, approximates an IID sequence of solutions of the limiting McKean–Vlasov BSDE. The generality of the framework allows to incorporate either discrete-time or continuous-time approximating mean-field BSDE systems.

Due to the rapid decrease in the cost of renewable energy\, it is now practical to design devices that use renewable electrons to drive the transformation of CO2 and other waste feedstock such as wastewater into high-value products while also recovering important resources such as water\, nutrients\, and energy.\n \nThis presentation will discuss opportunities to leverage cutting-edge integrated electrochemical-biological technologies in diverse environmental applications for synchronized wastewater treatment\, water reuse\, and CO2 capture and conversion. Specifically\, we will focus on our recent advancements in microbial electrosynthesis (MES) reactor design and operation that have enabled excellent production rates\, titer\, and energy efficiencies. Efforts towards improving reactor scalability\, expanding the portfolio of products\, and implementing new types of waste streams are ongoing.\n\nCoffee Talks provide a monthly opportunity during the academic year to network\, learn about pressing and emerging water-related issues\, hear about ongoing water-related research\, and meet new partners. In 2024/25\, Water@Michigan Coffee Talks will explore the water-climate nexus.\n\nFor more information about the fall series\, visit the Coffee Talks webpage: https://graham.umich.edu/wateratmichigan/coffee-talks UID:124771-21853766@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124771 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sustainability LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Great Lakes North Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241205T123136 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241120T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241120T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs: Corporate Banking | Bank of America Information Session DESCRIPTION:We are excited to invite you to learn more about and network with members of Bank of America’s Global Corporate &\; Investment Banking Division!

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:124224-21852746@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:20241121T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241121T170000 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.

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’....

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.

The combination of coherent quantum bits\, robust single qubit control\, entangling gates\, and quantum noise-limited parametric amplifiers has yielded an unprecedented view into the physics of quantum measurement and dissipation. I will discuss our recent experimental work that focuses on harnessing entangled states to perform measurements beyond the capabilities of unentangled sensors. Key topics will include discussion of an entanglement-enabled probe of non-Markovian dynamics and time-travel-inspired metrology protocols.\n\nShort bio: Kater Murch is an experimental physicist and professor in the Department of Physics at Washington University in St. Louis.

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).

Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/8rNVW\n \n Scholarship and criticism surrounding the intersections of cinema and punk culture in late 1970s–early 1980s Japan are sparse\, yet what does exist tends to place heavy emphasis on “DIY” independent filmmaking (*jishu eiga*) and the oeuvre of director Ishii Sōgo (now Ishii Gakuryū). This talk attempts to widen the scope of analysis by examining other figures and content circulating in this context. Taking a cross-media approach and focusing on women participating in punk-adjacent image-making and performance as well as documentary films capturing various punk scenes active at the time\, it demonstrates the existence of a diversity of authors and modes of expression that media and subcultural histories of Japan as well as international curatorial efforts tend to overlook.\n \n Kirsten Seuffert holds a PhD in East Asian Languages and Cultures from the University of Southern California with a focus on postwar and contemporary cinema in Japan as well as a graduate certificate in visual studies. She received her master’s degree in East Asian Languages and Civilizations from the University of Pennsylvania with research centering on cinema\, gender\, and sexuality. Her dissertation project—“Adjusting Images: Women’s Bodies and Embodied Experience in Cinema and Visual Culture in Japan\, 1974–1989”—takes a multidisciplinary\, multimedia approach in order to look differently at cinema in Japan during the later 1970s and 1980s through the lenses of gender\, bodies\, and everyday life. Her research interests include performance\, authorship\, the writing of media histories\, affect\, and subcultural participation and representation.

The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: a. The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the other portions. The final result/score/rating will thus be based on the student’s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary. b. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.c. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.Where can I view my results?a. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.b. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.Important information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) may be offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.* Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) is offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.\n UID:129076-21862139@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:1500 North Quad 105 S.

Click here to RSVP for the in-person discussion: https://www.cew.umich.edu/events/in-person-judith-butler-whos-afraid-of-gender-book-group\n\nIn Who’s Afraid of Gender?\, Butler aims to address the following question: “What kind of phantasm has gender become\, and what anxieties\, fears\, and hatreds does it collect and mobilize?” (36). While doing so\, Butler examines how this phantasm relates to today’s “myriad acts of cancellation\, pathologization\, criminalization\, and delegitimation . . . seeking to destroy freedoms and powers that social movements on the Left have struggled for decades to establish” (24). The book is a timely and necessary investigation into the weaponization of “gender” as a phantasm invoked by those calling “for the elimination of gender education\, the censorship of texts concerned with gender\, and the disenfranchisement or criminalization of transgender or genderqueer people” (36).\n\n--------------------------------------------\n\nNational Bestseller. Named a Best Book of 2024 (so far) by NPR\, Harper’s Bazaar\, W\, and Esquire\, and a Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Time\, Los Angeles Times\, Elle\, Cosmopolitan\, Kirkus\, Literary Hub\, Autostraddle\, The Millions\, Electric Literature\, and them.\n\n“A profoundly urgent intervention.” —Naomi Klein\n\n“A timely must-read for anyone actively invested in reimagining collective futurity.” —Claudia Rankine\n\nFrom a global icon\, a bold\, essential account of how a fear of gender is fueling reactionary politics around the world.\n\nJudith Butler\, the groundbreaking thinker whose iconic book Gender Trouble redefined how we think about gender and sexuality\, confronts the attacks on “gender” that have become central to right-wing movements today. Global networks have formed “anti–gender ideology movements” that are dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous\, perhaps diabolical\, threat to families\, local cultures\, civilization—and even “man” himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures\, this movement has sought to nullify reproductive justice\, undermine protections against sexual and gender violence\, and strip trans and queer people of their rights to pursue a life without fear of violence.\n\nThe aim of Who’s Afraid of Gender? is not to offer a new theory of gender but to examine how “gender” has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes\, fascist formations\, and trans-exclusionary feminists. In their vital\, courageous new book\, Butler illuminates the concrete ways that this phantasm of “gender” collects and displaces anxieties and fears of destruction. Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of “critical race theory” and xenophobic panics about migration\, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality\, fuels aggressive nationalism\, and leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation.\n\nAn essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment\, Who’s Afraid of Gender? is a bold call to refuse the alliance with authoritarian movements and to make a broad coalition with all those whose struggle for equality is linked with fighting injustice. Imagining new possibilities for both freedom and solidarity\, Butler offers us a hopeful work of social and political analysis that is both timely and timeless—a book whose verve and rigor only they could deliver.

The integration of the two services is inspired by the potential application of modular autonomous vehicles\, or pods\, in transit. Constrained by a fixed budget\, the operator of the joint system aims to minimize the total user cost by first allocating the pods between the two services and then optimizing each service. To formulate the operator's design problem\, we propose a stylized model\, in which the FR service features a simple 2D grid route structure overlaying on a square city\, and the PT service is designed as a general ride-sharing system that can be configured in different modes of operations. A case study is conducted using transit data from the Chicago region. The findings from the case study will be discussed.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Marco Nie is currently a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders. \n \nAbout the talk: \nCompassion is traditionally seen as a response to suffering—an essential reaction that seeks to alleviate distress. But what if compassion could also be a proactive force\, anticipating and mitigating suffering before it occurs? This idea introduces a paradox: Can compassion remain genuine when it is planned in advance? How can organizations prepare for suffering that has not yet manifested without losing the authenticity of their compassionate actions? \n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Ace Simpson\, author of Organizational Compassion: A Relational Approach (2024)\, will explore this paradox at the heart of compassion as a (p)response. Drawing on insights from his latest book\, he will discuss how to cultivate a culture of compassion that balances the need for preparedness with the spontaneity required for compassionate action. Attendees will gain practical insights for integrating compassion into organizational design\, creating environments that are both caring and high performing.   \n\nAce hopes that you will leave this session with a renewed perspective on fostering a compassionate organizational culture\, ready to (p)respond to suffering with thoughtful\, genuine\, and effective compassion. \n\nAbout Simpson: \nDr. Ace V. Simpson is a researcher\, educator\, and author\, currently serving as the Director of the Center for Compassion Studies in New York. He has held academic positions at UTS Business School in Sydney and\, more recently\, at Brunel Business School in London\, where he was Professor of Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior. Ace’s research focuses on cultivating organizational compassion to address challenges such as discrimination\, bullying\, and disengagement. He has collaborated with organizations\, including the NHS in the UK\, to enhance their compassion capabilities. Ace is a member of CompassionLab\, a community of scholars studying compassion in organizations\, and serves on the research council of Emory University’s Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics. His work has been published in leading journals\, including the 'Academy of Management Review' and the 'Journal of Management.' He is the co-author of 'Positive Organizational Behavior' (Routledge\, 2019) and 'Organizational Compassion' (Routledge\, 2024). \n\nHost: \nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n \nSeries Sponsors: \nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and Samuel Zell & Robert H.

He is affiliated with MIT Operations Research Center\, and MIT\nCenter for Statistics. His research interests are at the intersection of statistics\, machine learning and mathematical programming (large-scale convex and mixed integer optimization)\, and their applications to industry\, the government\, and the sciences. He is a recipient of the Leo Breiman Junior Award from the American Statistical Association\, International Indian Statistical Association Early Career Award in Statistics and Data Science\, INFORMS Donald P. Gaver\, Jr. Early Career Award for Excellence in Operations Research\, INFORMS Optimization Society Young Researchers Prize\, Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award\, INFORMS ICS Prize (Honorable Mention). He is currently serving as an Associate/Action Editor of the Annals of Statistics\, Bernoulli\, Operations Research\, and the Journal of Machine Learning Research.\n\nAbstract: Foundation models have achieved remarkable performance across various domains\, but their large model sizes lead to high computational costs (storage\, inference latency\, memory\, etc). Neural network pruning\, roughly categorized as unstructured and structured\, aims to reduce these costs by removing less-important parameters while retaining model utility as much as possible. Structured pruning is a practical way to improve inference latency on standard hardware in contrast to unstructured pruning\, requiring specialized hardware and software. In this talk\, I will discuss discrete optimization methods to address such problems. Interestingly\, algorithms from sparse regression and high-dimensional statistics can be useful here. I'll discuss how model compression tools can aid interpretability in black-box decision tree ensembles\; and how our investigations in large model pruning motivate new algorithms to accelerate branch-and-bound (integer programming) solvers with GPUs.

Coronary heart disease and heart failure are major contributors to the global burden of cardiovascular disease\, and their complexity demand a systems-engineering approach to heart regeneration. The Coulombe Lab for Heart Health and Regeneration develops engineered human myocardium (EHM) with cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-CMs) to restore cardiac muscle after myocardial infarction (MI) or in other disease states. We have developed clinically sized EHM implants for increasing cell dose up to 1 billion hiPSC-CMs and customized the hydrogel matrix\, geometry and dynamic culture. EHM implantation in a translationally relevant swine model of chronic myocardial ischemia shows that engrafted hiPSC-CMs matured in vivo without inducing tachyarrhythmia. We also develop strategies for revascularization of the host heart and EHM implant through patterning mid-sized vessels in EHM and customization of angiogenic biomaterials\, which are advancing regeneration. We are committed to empowering the next generation of scientists and engineers to implement their ideas for improving health and society through attentive mentoring\, engaged scholarship\, and active inclusion.\n\nBio:\nDr. Coulombe is an Associate Professor of Engineering and a member of the Institute for Biology\, Engineering and Medicine at Brown University. She earned a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rochester summa cum laude in 2001 and was a Whitaker Pre-doctoral Fellow\, earning a Ph.D. in Bioengineering at the University of Washington in 2007. She was an NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein post-doctoral fellow in Pathology at the University of Washington where she won an NIH Pathway to Independence K99/R00 award in 2012\, and started her research program at Brown in 2014.

Could perceived increases in apex corruption be weakening democracy? We first present event study analyses of more than 170 high-profile corruption scandals involving some of the most prominent politicians in 17 Latin American countries. We show that in the aftermath of such apex corruption scandals\, support for democracy falls by 0.07𝑠𝑑\, support for authoritarianism rises by 11% and violent protests rise by 70%. We complement these results with a field experiment in Mexico. Randomized exposure to footage of apex corruption scandals\, particularly implicating politicians known for their anticorruption platforms\, decreases individuals’ support for democracy by 0.15𝑠𝑑\, willingness to trust politicians and neighbors in incentivized games by 18% and 11%\, volunteering as election observers by 45%\, and actual voter turnout by about 5𝑝𝑝\, while raising stealing from local mayors by 4%. The undermining of democratic values produces latent effects that even cumulate four months later. Seeking solutions\, priming national identity proved an unsuccessful antidote\, but providing exposure to national stock index funds holds some promise.

The first views the dynamic problem as an initial value problem. In this context\, the stationary problem arises naturally as a special type of global-in-time solution with stationary sources of force and stress. One then expects solutions to the stationary problem to play an essential role in the study of long-time asymptotics or attractors for the dynamic problem. The second line of inquiry\, which dates back essentially to the beginning of mathematical fluid mechanics\, concerns the search for traveling wave solutions. In this context\, a huge literature exists for the corresponding inviscid problem\, but progress on the viscous problem was initiated much more recently in the work of the speaker and co-authors. For technical reasons\, these results were only able to produce traveling solutions with nontrivial wave speed. In this talk we will discuss the well-posedness theory for the stationary problem and show that the solutions thus obtained lie along a one-parameter family of slowly traveling wave solutions. This is joint work with Noah Stevenson.

Her research integrates genomic sequencing with behavioral ecology and organismal biology to unravel the mechanisms involved in the evolution of reproductive isolation. In particular\, she leverages natural hybridization—interbreeding between distinct taxa—in birds and fish to study mating decisions in action. Stepfanie will discuss her work in northern flickers focused on the evolution of color differences and her work in swordtail fish focused on the genomic consequences of female mate choice decisions.

The study focused on assessing the needs of Armenian Apostolic Church communities\, both within Armenia and in the diaspora\, in close collaboration with Church leaders. Employing a mixed-methods approach that included a semi-standardized questionnaire survey and group discussions\, the research gathered valuable insights into the perspectives of Armenian Church representatives. The talk will explore how these leaders perceive the Church's role in addressing the needs of their communities and discuss potential strategies for enhancing the Church's responsiveness and effectiveness.\n \n Bio: Arthur V.

For example\, if R is a local ring\, s(R) = 1 implies R is regular\, and 0 < s(R) < 1 implies R is strongly F-regular which is a char p analog of klt singularities. For a globally F-regular variety X\, the F-signature function of an ample invertible sheaf is defined in an analogous way to the F-signature of the section ring along the invertible sheaf over X. In this talk\, we will discuss how the F-signature of pairs compares along proper birational maps and the positivity of the F-signature function on big divisors. This is joint work with Suchitra Pande.

Nayland Blake shares their history as an artist\, curator and educator in a talk about how crucial the creative process is in imagining new possibilities for us as individuals and communities. \n\nSince the late 1980s\, Nayland Blake has constructed an influential body of work exploring play\, eroticism\, and the subjective experiences of desire\, power\, and loss. Inspired by feminist theory and queer subcultures\, Blake addresses the contradictions of representation in sculptures\, drawings\, performances\, and videos\, particularly as it relates to their own identity as a nonbinary multiracial artist.\n\nNayland Blake is an interdisciplinary artist living in New York. Their work has been shown extensively and was included in the 1991 Whitney Biennial\, the 1993 Venice Biennale\, and the landmark exhibition “Black Male: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary American Art” at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1994. In 2003\, a retrospective of their video work was organized by the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs\, New York. Surveys of their work have been organized by Location One in New York and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. “Nayland Blake: No Wrong Holes\,” a full-scale retrospective organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles opened in 2019 before traveling to the MIT List Visual Arts Center in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, the following year.\nNayland Blake is part of Gender Euphoria\, a semester-long explosion of queer artists and art-making. These performances\, exhibitions\, conversations\, and provocations explore how to make art and find queer joy in a state of emergency. \n\n“Teach it – Promote it – Create it – you are responsible for the continuation of the culture you love. Keep it alive through your actions.” - Nayland Blake\n\nPresented in partnership with Gender Euphoria. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. Series presenting partners: Detroit PBS and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.
