SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Through the Grapevine: Socially Transmitted Information and Distorted Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Taylor Carlson (Washington University in St. Louis) is the Winter Speaker for the Political Communication Working Group series:\n \nAccurate information about politics is at the heart of democratic functioning. For decades\, those concerned with the information environment have understandably focused on mass media\, but many Americans do not learn about politics from direct engagement with the news. Indeed\, about one-third of Americans learn about politics from socially transmitted information they acquire from conversations with others and social media. How does socially transmitted information differ from information communicated by mass media? And what are the consequences for political behavior? Drawing on evidence from experiments\, surveys\, and social media\, Carlson finds that\, as information flows from the media to person to person\, it becomes sparse\, more biased\, less accurate\, and more mobilizing. This results in distorted democracy. Although socially transmitted information does not necessarily render democracy dysfunctional\, it does contribute to a public that is at once underinformed\, polarized\, and engaged.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series | Aesthetic Nationalism: Dancing the Tai Nation in the Thai-Myanmar Borderlands
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/bymr9\n\nDance\, song and the performing arts are often overlooked in studies of war and diaspora. Yet synchronized rhythmic movement promotes group coherence within all cultures\, religions and nations\, and holds potential for expressing both political resistance and national coherence. Drawing from long-term ethnographic fieldwork and dance training in Northern Thailand amongst forcibly displaced Tai (Shan) migrants from Myanmar\, this talk attends to how dance\, song and theatre practice reinvigorate stateless people’s desire for self-determination in ways that challenge the current nation-state paradigm. For Tai exiles\, ethnic nationalism is produced through the work of dance and through shared rhythmic and aesthetic structures of sentiment towards the Tai nation – which produce powerful political affects and effects. Aesthetic Nationalism argues that displaced peoples do not maintain their sense of nation primarily through capital and reading publics\, but rather through the complex transmission of what may be called “aesthetic nationalisms\,” which involve performances and cultural practices that produce enduring bonds to an imagined homeland.\n   \n   The in-progress book project\, Aesthetic Nationalism argues that the nation\, for countless peoples in exile\, is often carried through the body and continuously forged via the rhythmic work of performance and theater\, in addition to discourse\, language and signification. This is a story of how fractured nations seek to maintain themselves by enmeshing acts of defiance and persistence in art and in performance.\n\n   Tani Sebro is a political and dance ethnographer who has conducted over two years field research along the Thai-Myanmar border. Currently an Associate Professor of Global Politics at Cal Poly Humboldt\, she is the recipient of a Fulbright-ASEAN Fellowship and is a UC Berkeley SEALIVES grantee.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ESDM Parent Training Group – Spring 2024
DESCRIPTION:The University Center for the Child and Family is offering a new virtual session for the ESDM Parent Training Group in Spring 2024. The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an evidence-based treatment model for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The group is designed for parents and caregivers with children ages 5 and under who have diagnosed or suspected ASD or a Developmental Delay.\n\nThe parent training group is designed to teach parents these strategies to increase the number of intervention hours that young children receive. A secondary goal is to support parents of children with ASD/Developmental Delays and help them develop a community of parents in a similar life stage. Since it is a parent training group\, children are welcome but not required to attend.\n\nRequirements:\n1. In order to enroll in the group\, the caregiver must have a child ages 5 or under who has diagnosed or suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder or developmental delay (e.g. speech delay\, Global Developmental Delay etc). \n\n2. Participating families must attend one group screening/orientation session prior to the start of the group\, to ensure that they are a good fit for the group. This initial screening appointment will last approximately 30-45 minutes.\n\nWhen: 12 – 1 p.m. Fridays\, beginning January 26 (10 weeks).\nWhere: Online via Zoom\n\nProspective clients should call UCCF at (734) 615-7853 to schedule their orientation/screening appointment.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Finding Fulfillment in Federal Service
DESCRIPTION:Calling all future public servants!\n\nWondering what it's like to work for the federal government? \nInspired to use your skills and knowledge to make a real impact on national security?\n\nJoin us for an Alum in Residence with Mark Nehmer to find out what he’s discovered truly differentiates working for the federal government from working in the private sector\, and why for him federal service was the far better fit. A native of Croswell\, Michigan\, Mark graduated from LSA in 1980 with majors in Economics and History. Upon graduation\, he relocated to St. Louis\, Missouri where he completed his Master of Business Administration from Fontbonne University with a dual concentration in Finance and Information Systems. Acknowledging the lack of job satisfaction after nearly 30 years working in the private sector\, Mark made the bold decision to pivot\, accepting the opportunity to help stand up United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) as its first Division Chief for Cyber Risk Management\, responsible for the analysis of current and future DoD and Federal risk management and C4 (command\, control\, communications\, and computer/cyber) direction for USCYBERCOM and DoD leadership teams. \n\nMark’s federal career has been a robust journey of building infrastructure for novel governmental management of emerging national threats and then leading in those nascent spaces. Mark joined the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) to manage standup activities for the Cyber-Counterintelligence division in 2013. He was a founding member responsible for projects and initiatives related to the establishment of the Defense Insider Threat Management and Analysis Center (DITMAC) in 2014. He did the same for the Defense Vetting Directorate and Program Executive Office (PEO) in 2018. As the first Technical Director of the PEO\, Mark oversaw the incorporation and advancement in integration of innovative technologies\, including practical applications of artificial intelligence. Now as Advisor of Technical Strategy for the PEO\, Mr. Nehmer is responsible for the development and evolution of technical capabilities within the DCSA.\n\nMark’s work is not limited to the typical notions of national defense that the media and entertainment industries tend to draw attention to. In the advancement of stress and risk assessment technology\, the development of artificial intelligence and its implementation in DCSA is further being evaluated for identifying those within the military and civilian populations who may be at risk of harming themselves. Mr. Nehmer is proud that his contributions in utilization of these evolving technologies will not only bolster national security\, but will impact and save millions of lives\, such as through pre-crisis ​intervention and suicide ​​prevention.\n\nMake an appointment or drop by the Opportunity Hub to meet with Mark on Friday\, February 16 from 12pm to 3pm. You can inquire further about his story\, get advice for entering federal service\, find out where or how to start looking for internships that will best prepare you for entering federal service at the highest grade and step possible! Mark is truly passionate about how life-changing his jump to federal service has been\, and he wants to help guide Wolverines as they consider and navigate the possibilities. Don’t forget to invite a friend and join us for this Alum in Residence opportunity!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:From molecular biophysics to developing high content genomics tools to unlock new therapeutic potential
DESCRIPTION:My training in molecular biophysics served as a solid platform to explore a variety of new\, high-content technologies and data. Moreover\, the ability to operate at the interface of mathematical modeling\, technology development\, and biology created a unique opportunity to ask challenging questions in cross-functional teams.\n\nSpecifically\, recent advances in single cell biology and human genetics have enabled profiling transcriptomics of healthy and diseased individuals leading to the discoveries of gene programs and genetic variants associated with disease. However\, we lack robust pipelines to understand the function of implicated genes and to place those genes in directional cellular and tissue circuits. We are uniquely suited to bring together emerging multimodal single cell technologies and advances in CRISPR screening to map genetic circuits in unprecedented resolution thus opening new questions and unlocking new therapeutic potential.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Re-examining the “hillfort” in Balkan Prehistory: A Case Study from Western Kosova
DESCRIPTION:This talk will present the results of three fieldwork seasons at Lubozhdë and Syriganë hillfort sites in Western Kosova. Hillforts represent the archetype site of Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age societies in Europe and the Balkans. These strategically located\, prominent\, and fortified sites are traditionally argued to be the result of feuding tribes and places of shelter and refuge in times of conflict. This is an interpretation that has remained largely unchanged until recently\, following critical shifts in archaeological theory\, method\, and interpretation inspired by post-colonial and de-colonial thought. In this vein\, I argue that a re-examining and redefining of the conventional understanding of hillforts is greatly overdue\, especially in the Balkan context. Drawing on surface collections and magnetometry surveys conducted in July 2021\, along with excavations conducted in 2022 and 2023 at the sites of Lubozhdë and Syriganë\, this talk presents the preliminary attempt to synthesize the results of my dissertation research in the Dukagjin Plains and bring these findings in conversation with border questions of settlement\, mobility and landscape interactions in the region. Moreover\, this presentation focuses on the very different artifact profiles produced by these two hillforts and begins to explore the varying roles they filled within their landscape over time.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Inverse wave scattering via data driven reduced order modeling
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  This talk is concerned with the following inverse problem for the wave equation: Determine the variable wave speed from data gathered by a collection of sensors\, which emit probing signals and measure the generated backscattered waves. Inverse backscattering is an interdisciplinary field driven by applications in geophysical exploration\, radar imaging\, non-destructive evaluation of materials\, etc. There are two types of methods:\n\n(1) Qualitative (imaging) methods\, which address the simpler problem of locating reflective\nstructures in a known host medium.\n\n(2) Quantitative methods\, also known as velocity estimation. Typically\, velocity estimation is\nformulated as a PDE constrained optimization\, where the data are fit in the least squares sense by\n\nthe wave computed at the search wave speed. The increase in computing power has lead to growing interest in this approach\, but there is a fundamental impediment\, which manifests especially for high frequency data: The objective function is not convex and has numerous local minima even in the absence of noise. The main goal of the talk is to introduce a novel approach to\nvelocity estimation\, based on a reduced order model (ROM) of the wave operator. The ROM is called\ndata driven because it is obtained from the measurements made at the sensors. The mapping between these measurements and the ROM is nonlinear\, and yet the ROM can be computed efficiently using methods from numerical linear algebra. More importantly\, the ROM can be used to define a better objective function for velocity estimation\, so that gradient based optimization can succeed even for a poor initial guess.\n\n(Joint work with Josselin Garnier\, Alexander Mamonov and John Zimmerling)\n\nContact:  AIM Seminar Organizers

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Buddhist Perspectives on Grief and Language:
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate dialogue between Chenxing Han and Buddhist studies scholar Dr. Lang Chen about religious perspectives on grief\, culturally attuned care for the dying\, and the literary entanglements of translation in Asian and Asian American contexts. The conversation will be grounded in Chenxing’s recent book\, *one long listening: a memoir of grief\, friendship\, and spiritual care* (North Atlantic Books\, 2023)\, and will also touch on May We Gather\, a national Buddhist memorial of resilience\, recovery\, and repair.\n\nChenxing Han is the author of *Be the Refuge: Raising the Voices of Asian American Buddhists*\; *one long listening: a memoir of grief\, friendship\, and spiritual care*\; and numerous articles and book chapters for both academic and mainstream audiences. She is a frequent speaker and workshop leader at schools\, universities\, and Buddhist communities across the nation\, and currently serves as the Khyentse Visitor in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan.\n\nLang Chen received her Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies from Yale University in 2015 and her Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School in 2006. Her research focused on Chinese literati’s creative use of Buddhism for literary innovation as well as spiritual liberation from the early modern period (16–17th century) onwards. She also studied the idea of “happiness” from Chinese and Buddhist perspectives. Lang is currently enrolled in the Master of Social Work program at the University of Michigan and working as an intern therapist at the Counseling and Psychological Services of the university. She was a caregiver of her late husband\, who fought cancer heroically.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Electromagnetic Signals of High-Frequency Gravitational Waves
DESCRIPTION:There is strong motivation to extend the observable frequency range of gravitational waves (GWs) beyond the Hz - kHz regime already probed by LIGO and Virgo. In particular\, higher-frequency GWs can give rise to new classes of electromagnetic signals that can be searched for with small-scale detectors. A gauge-invariant description shows that existing experiments designed for the detection of axion dark matter only need to reanalyze existing data to search for such signals. I will also discuss how electromagnetic cavities can operate as exquisite mechanical to electromagnetic converters\, enabling a broader search across orders of magnitude of unexplored parameter space.

DESCRIPTION:A semiabelian scheme over a variety X is a smooth group variety G over X whose fibers are extensions of an abelian variety by a torus. I will discuss the ways that abelian varieties can degenerate into semiabelian varieties\, following Faltings and Chai\, and maybe some applications to compactifications of the moduli of abelian varieties.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Tensor categories for Sets and Trees
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, Andrew Snowden and Nate Harman introduced a new technique for constructing tensor categories using some model-theoretic gadgets. The key ingredients are a group and a tensorial measure on this group. Interesting examples come from automorphism groups of \"big\" combinatorial objects. Noticeably\, the corresponding measures can be defined and computed via combinatorics of finite counterparts of these \"big\" objects. \n\nIn this talk\, I will give a friendly introduction to the topic and then focus on examples: \nDeligne’s categories Rep(S_t) corresponding to plain sets and arboreal categories Rep(T_t) corresponding to trees.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Jeronimo Morales Toledo\, Paul Den Uyl\, and Andrés Felipe Gonzalez Duran
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this week's Smith Lecture as three of our own grad students will be giving mini talks. See below for info on each lecture\n\nSpeaker 1: Jeronimo Morales Toledo\nTitle: \"Bisexual Climbers of Araceae In Deep Time: A Reexamination of Arthmiocarpus hesperus from the Late Cretaceous of South Dakota\"\nAbstract: \nThe study and re-evaluation of Cretaceous fossil plants offers insights to the early evolution of angiosperms prior to the establishment of modern ecosystems. Araceae display significant eco-morphological diversity (e.g.\, geophytes\, climbers\, epiphytes\, helophytes\, and free-floating aquatics)\, with their fossil record dating back to the Early Cretaceous (110 to 120 Ma). However\, confidently assigned aroid fossils before the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction are limited to early divergent lineages (Orontioideae and Lemnoideae)\, hindering our understanding of the historical evolution of aroid subfamilies over deep time. This study focuses on Arthmiocarpus hesperus (Wieland) Delevoryas\, a permineralized fossil from the Late Cretaceous Fox Hills Sandstone of South Dakota. Previously classified as a drupe from the fig family (Moraceae)\, it exhibits features consistent with Araceae. Through thin-sectioning and X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT)\, we conducted a detailed examination resulting in 3D reconstructions of the seed and characterizing structures in multiple planes of section. Furthermore\, we created a de novo character database by analyzing  300 species of fruits with μCT for fruit\, seed and embryo morphology. This process resolved conflicting interpretations of fruit-seed morphology and anatomy\, allowing us to identify additional characters useful for refining taxonomic affinities.The helically arranged sessile berries on a central spadix confirm affinities to Araceae\, and features of the fruits and seeds such as berries with fibrous pericarp and stylar region\, thick stylar region\, a smooth seed coat\, and a monocotyledonous L-shaped embryo suggest it is most closely related to members within the subfamily Monsteroideae. However\, Arthmiocarpus presents a unique set of characters that differentiates it from extant and extinct members of Araceae. This investigation exemplifies how the subfamilies of extant angiosperms were integral components of Cretaceous ecosystems prior to the K-Pg mass extinction\, contributing to the establishment of modern ecosystems.\n\nSpeaker 2: Paul Den Uyl\nTitle: \"Genetic Characterization of Saxitoxin Producing Cyanobacteria Associated with Western Lake Erie Harmful Algal Blooms\"\nAbstract:\nSaxitoxins (STXs) are neurotoxins produced in both freshwater and marine systems and are among the most potent known natural toxins. While genes encoding STX biosynthesis have been observed in Lake Erie\, the organism(s) responsible for producing STXs in the region have not been confirmed. We used metagenomic tools to identify a full suite of STX biosynthesis genes in a high-quality metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) from the Anabaena-Dolichospermum-Aphanizomenon (ADA) clade of cyanobacteria. The order and sequence of sxt genes suggest the Lake Erie MAG is likely capable of producing saxitoxin (STX) and dicarbamoyl (dcSTX) congeners. The absence of a sxtX gene suggests an inability to produce neoSTX\, one of the most potent variants of STX. \n\n\nSpeaker 3: Andrés Felipe Gonzalez Duran\nTitle: \"Understanding mineral deposits in the Americas. \nBrief summary: Overview of recent advancements on ore deposits in the Western margin of the Americas\, including copper and gold in Canada and Chile\, as well as emeralds in the Colombian Andes\"

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CAS Workshop.  Where Empires Meet: Borderland Cosmopolitanisms in the Late Antique and Medieval Middle East
DESCRIPTION:In the third book of The Buildings\, the sixth-century Roman historian Procopius of Caesarea offers us a glimpse into what life was like in the borderlands between Rome and Persia. Just west of Lake Van in Greater Armenia\, he describes how the borderlands of the two empires “lay together promiscuously (ἀναμὶξ)” (Procopius Buildings 3.3.9). Procopius seems to have intended this sexual double entendre to be taken quite literally\, for he adds that those who lived here in the district of Kars\, whether Roman or Persian subjects\, lived together peacefully: they would come together to go to market\, share their farms with each other\, and even marry one another (Procopius Buildings 3.3.10).\n   \nAlthough Procopius is critical of such “promiscuity” between Romans and Persians\, his description suggests that the borderlands of early medieval Armenia were both a cosmopolitan and a contested space\, where individuals cultivated vernacular cosmopolitanisms in their day-to-day lives at the interstices of empires. By bringing together specialists from across the academy who study the diverse languages\, literatures\, and cultures of the spaces where empires meet\, this workshop seeks to excavate commingled lives in the borderlands of Armenia and Syria in the late antique and medieval Middle East. In particular\, it seeks to shed new light on the practices of non-elites across these borderland zones. It is often repeated\, for instance\, that premodern Armenia and Syria were places in-between–but what did that in-betweenness look like on the ground? How did Armenians\, Syrians\, and others navigate “borders\,” let alone their shifting relationships to Rome and Persia\, in light of the border? Finally\, where do borders get crossed\, and how might such crossings inform theoretical and methodological approaches to studying these complex regions today?\n\nSchedule of Events\n\nFebruary 16 | Weiser Hall 555 (in-person) and on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95833364188 (virtual)\n\n4:00 pm - 6:00 pm | Keynote Address — Kate Franklin (Birkbeck\, University of London)\, Between Ecumene and Ecology: Armenians on the Silk Road and More-than-Human Cosmopolitanism\n\nFebruary 17 | Weiser Hall 555 (in person only)\n\n9:15 am - 9:30 am | Introductory Remarks\n\n9:30 am - 11:00 am | Panel I: Cosmopolitanisms Along and Across the Borders of Rome in Late Antiquity\n\nRespondent: Anna Bonnell Freidin (University of Michigan)\n\nJames Wolfe (University of Michigan) \"Segmentation\, Enclaves\, and Forgotten Borders: Navigating the Borderless Borderlands of The Late Roman Near East\"\n\nWalter Beers (Hamilton College) \"Seeing like a Monastery: Cop'k'/Sophene as Syro-Armenian Borderland in John of Ephesus' Lives of the Eastern Saints\"\n\n11:00 am - 11:15 am | Break\n\n11:15 am - 12:45 pm | Panel II: Multilingual Communities at the Crossroads of the Medieval Middle East\n\nRespondent: Kathryn Babayan (University of Michigan)\n\nPolina Ivanova (Justus Liebig University Giessen) \"An Invisible Frontier?

DESCRIPTION:Undergraduate student Leah Block directs this senior thesis show\, a performance of *The Grown-Ups* by Skylar Fox and Simon Henriques.\n \nThe campers are all finally asleep\, and the lake is getting quiet. Have a beer\; make a s'more\; tell a scary story. Figure out what you're going to have to do in the morning to keep camp fun and safe without letting the kids find out about... well\, you've seen the news. I just got a push notification – they're getting closer. \n\nFollowing a group of camp counselors trying to mold the leaders of tomorrow when tomorrow is looking bleaker and bleaker\, *The Grown-Ups* explores the traditions that change us\, what it takes for us to change them\, and how to change yourself when you're hopelessly\, tragically not prepared for this. \n\nPresented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Performance: Directing.

SUMMARY:Performance:James Ehnes
DESCRIPTION:Two of the most sought-after recitalists on the international stage join forces\, as Canadian violinist James Ehnes and his longtime recital partner\, American pianist Andrew Armstrong\, make their UMS live performance debuts together in a concert that will also include faculty and students from the U-M School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.\n\nCritics laud the violinist’s rare combination of stunning virtuosity\, serene lyricism\, and an unfaltering musicality: “Ehnes\, who has the silkiest tone in the business\, achieves a level of perfection\, full of feeling but without show\, that puts him in a class of his own. … He gave a poetic performance\, bringing out the music’s wistfulness as well as its fury and dazzle.” (The Guardian) UMS audiences enjoyed one of Ehnes’s Bach/Ysäye digital recitals filmed from his living room during the pandemic\, but this is the first opportunity to hear him live. Program to be announced.

DESCRIPTION:“Imagine if Taylor Swift rocked\, imagine a female Eddie Van Halen”—Nashville.com\n\nJax Hollow is an untamable force of nature. Hailing from Nashville by way of Western Massachusetts\, the Berklee College Of Music graduate is bringing a much needed revival to rock with her fresh innocence and serious talent. Jax’s sound is a unique blend of classic rock\, blues\, and Americana\, combined with songwriting\, riffs\, ripping solos\, and powerful vocals. Her debut record\, “Underdog Anthems” was produced and engineered by music legend Michael Wagener (over 100 million records sold). She was the last artist to work with him before his retirement in 2022. Her new record of 2023\, “Only The Wild Ones”\, was championed by Sound Emporium CEO Juanita Copeland\, and recorded with some of Nashville’s finest studio musicians. She opened for Melissa Etheridge at the famous Ryman Auditorium as a solo act\, receiving a standing ovation—and praise from Etheridge herself\, telling the crowd\; “I want to be known as the one who discovered Jax Hollow!” Just back from a European tour\, Jax is making her Ark debut.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4502/4503 for more detail.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CAS Workshop.  Where Empires Meet: Borderland Cosmopolitanisms in the Late Antique and Medieval Middle East
DESCRIPTION:In the third book of The Buildings\, the sixth-century Roman historian Procopius of Caesarea offers us a glimpse into what life was like in the borderlands between Rome and Persia. Just west of Lake Van in Greater Armenia\, he describes how the borderlands of the two empires “lay together promiscuously (ἀναμὶξ)” (Procopius Buildings 3.3.9). Procopius seems to have intended this sexual double entendre to be taken quite literally\, for he adds that those who lived here in the district of Kars\, whether Roman or Persian subjects\, lived together peacefully: they would come together to go to market\, share their farms with each other\, and even marry one another (Procopius Buildings 3.3.10).\n   \nAlthough Procopius is critical of such “promiscuity” between Romans and Persians\, his description suggests that the borderlands of early medieval Armenia were both a cosmopolitan and a contested space\, where individuals cultivated vernacular cosmopolitanisms in their day-to-day lives at the interstices of empires. By bringing together specialists from across the academy who study the diverse languages\, literatures\, and cultures of the spaces where empires meet\, this workshop seeks to excavate commingled lives in the borderlands of Armenia and Syria in the late antique and medieval Middle East. In particular\, it seeks to shed new light on the practices of non-elites across these borderland zones. It is often repeated\, for instance\, that premodern Armenia and Syria were places in-between–but what did that in-betweenness look like on the ground? How did Armenians\, Syrians\, and others navigate “borders\,” let alone their shifting relationships to Rome and Persia\, in light of the border? Finally\, where do borders get crossed\, and how might such crossings inform theoretical and methodological approaches to studying these complex regions today?\n\nSchedule of Events\n\nFebruary 16 | Weiser Hall 555 (in-person) and on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95833364188 (virtual)\n\n4:00 pm - 6:00 pm | Keynote Address — Kate Franklin (Birkbeck\, University of London)\, Between Ecumene and Ecology: Armenians on the Silk Road and More-than-Human Cosmopolitanism\n\nFebruary 17 | Weiser Hall 555 (in person only)\n\n9:15 am - 9:30 am | Introductory Remarks\n\n9:30 am - 11:00 am | Panel I: Cosmopolitanisms Along and Across the Borders of Rome in Late Antiquity\n\nRespondent: Anna Bonnell Freidin (University of Michigan)\n\nJames Wolfe (University of Michigan) \"Segmentation\, Enclaves\, and Forgotten Borders: Navigating the Borderless Borderlands of The Late Roman Near East\"\n\nWalter Beers (Hamilton College) \"Seeing like a Monastery: Cop'k'/Sophene as Syro-Armenian Borderland in John of Ephesus' Lives of the Eastern Saints\"\n\n11:00 am - 11:15 am | Break\n\n11:15 am - 12:45 pm | Panel II: Multilingual Communities at the Crossroads of the Medieval Middle East\n\nRespondent: Kathryn Babayan (University of Michigan)\n\nPolina Ivanova (Justus Liebig University Giessen) \"An Invisible Frontier?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Orson Welles as Family Man: Son\, Husband\, Father
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit provides a unique glimpse into the actor/director Orson Welles’ private life. 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).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andrea Carlson Future Cache
DESCRIPTION:In Andrea Carlson Future Cache\, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors\, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15\, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A. Wiles\, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text\; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman\, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin\; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides\; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station\, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\, U-M Clements Library\, and U-M Clark Map Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Angkor Complex: ​Cultural Heritage and Post-Genocide Memory in Cambodia.
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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cannupa Hanska Luger: You're Welcome
DESCRIPTION:How Do We Remember? \n \nMemories are deeply embedded in the physical structures of modern day society — our neighborhoods\, our laws\, our monuments\, our buildings — but those memories are often sculpted and built into those structures by a privileged few. How have their perspectives shaped the enduring stories of our history and visions of the past?\n \nYou’re Welcome is a three-part installation and dynamic intervention that exposes the histories and narratives of the land occupied by the University of Michigan and UMMA’s neoclassical building\, Alumni Memorial Hall. A large-scale commission from artist Cannupa Hanska Luger on the exterior of UMMA’s building asks the campus and community to reconsider the memories molded into the Museum’s stone — the perspectives that shaped those traditions and the stories that remain unseen in our facade. This artistic interrogation dissects colonialist norms of monument-making\, explores the roles of buildings in upholding selected cultural systems\, and develops new forms of memorials that center Indigenous perspectives and collaboration to tell fuller stories and histories. \n \nLuger communicates stories of 21st-century Indigeneity\, sovereignty\, and anti-colonialism while offering critical cultural analysis through deep engagements with materials\, environments\, and communities. In addition to the exterior commission\, a gallery exhibition places Luger’s works of art in conversation with objects in UMMA’s collection\, allowing for discussion and thinking on long histories of collecting practices\, environmental degradation\, and the afterlife of colonialism. And\, a monument classroom from nonprofit public art and history studio Monument Lab invites the community to come together and examine how historic structures on the University of Michigan’s campus uphold social and cultural systems and narratives.  \n\nLead support for this project is provided by Teiger Foundation\, the U-M Office of the Provost\, the U-M Office of the President\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, the U-M Marsal Family School of Education\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, Michigan Humanities\, and the U-M Arts Initiative.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Curriculum / Collection
DESCRIPTION:In Curriculum / Collection\, an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows\, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way\, too.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and the Oakriver Foundation.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Other:Holiday Heart Openers: Backbends Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The season of love is upon us! What better way to celebrate than a heart-opening class (this is a Vinyasa Level 1 class available for all levels)! Backbends are a great way to open our heart chakra\, accessing our fourth main energy center in the body. In this class\, we will begin with a Vinyasa flow to warm up the body and the neuro-pathways. From there\, we will get into some preparatory core work (plank\, boat pose hold + twists\, reverse tabletop\, hollow body hold\, etc.). After we are warm and the core is strong and stabilized\, we will learn how to build really fun backend poses like camel\, bow\, bridge + wheel\, king dancer\, etc. To cool down at the end\, we will do some restorative forward folds and twists before entering Savasana.

SUMMARY:Performance:Martha Graham Dance Company
DESCRIPTION:As the company approaches its 100th anniversary\, it continues to exemplify its founder’s timeless and uniquely American style of dance\, one that has influenced generations of artists and continues to captivate audiences worldwide.\n\nMartha Graham is recognized as a primal artistic force of the 20th century\, alongside Pablo Picasso\, Virginia Woolf\, Igor Stravinsky\, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Graham radically expanded the dance vocabulary\, rooting it in social\, psychological\, and sexual ideas and forever altering the scope of the art form. These performances will include a new work choreographed by Jamar Roberts\, resident choreographer for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater\, and set to music by Rhiannon Giddens. The dance will be paired with Agnes de Mille’s 1942 classic Rodeo\; its iconic score by Aaron Copland has been reorchestrated for a bluegrass ensemble\, offering an expanded view of our cultural history and the influence of Black artists on American music and dance forms. Martha Graham’s final complete work\, Maple Leaf Rag\, rounds out the program.\n\nPROGRAM\nRodeo — The Courting at Burnt Ranch (Choreography by Agnes de Mille / Music by Aaron Copland in a new bluegrass arrangement by Gabe Witcher)\nNew Work (Jamar Roberts / Rhiannon Giddens)\nMaple Leaf Rag (Martha Graham / Scott Joplin)

SUMMARY:Performance:Joe Hertler Solo
DESCRIPTION:A solo show from one of the most interesting psychedelic rockers on the scene\n\nThe Rainbow Seekers began their historic quest eight years ago\, revolving around the pure\, unadulterated songwriting of their fearless leader\, Joe Hertler. In the years since\, we’ve seen Joe with The Rainbow Seekers at The Ark several times\, with a mix of funk\, Motown\, Americana\, and folk. But the same mix is present in Joe Hertler’s songs themselves\, and we thought it was time for a Joe Hertler solo show. Joe has appeared at Bonnaroo\, Electric Forest\, and Summer Camp\, and as you'll know if you've seen the band\, seeking the proverbial Rainbow is all about the live performance. Joe calls his music “Adult Semi-Spiritual Quasi-Secular Inspirational Post-Motown Folk Rock\,” and if you’re wondering what that means\, come and find out!\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4546/4547 for more detail.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Orson Welles as Family Man: Son\, Husband\, Father
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit provides a unique glimpse into the actor/director Orson Welles’ private life. 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).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andrea Carlson Future Cache
DESCRIPTION:In Andrea Carlson Future Cache\, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors\, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15\, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A. Wiles\, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text\; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman\, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin\; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides\; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station\, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\, U-M Clements Library\, and U-M Clark Map Library. For more information on the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians visit BurtLakeBand.org. \n\nLead support for Future Cache is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, and the U-M Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Angkor Complex: ​Cultural Heritage and Post-Genocide Memory in Cambodia.
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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cannupa Hanska Luger: You're Welcome
DESCRIPTION:How Do We Remember? \n \nMemories are deeply embedded in the physical structures of modern day society — our neighborhoods\, our laws\, our monuments\, our buildings — but those memories are often sculpted and built into those structures by a privileged few. How have their perspectives shaped the enduring stories of our history and visions of the past?\n \nYou’re Welcome is a three-part installation and dynamic intervention that exposes the histories and narratives of the land occupied by the University of Michigan and UMMA’s neoclassical building\, Alumni Memorial Hall. A large-scale commission from artist Cannupa Hanska Luger on the exterior of UMMA’s building asks the campus and community to reconsider the memories molded into the Museum’s stone — the perspectives that shaped those traditions and the stories that remain unseen in our facade. This artistic interrogation dissects colonialist norms of monument-making\, explores the roles of buildings in upholding selected cultural systems\, and develops new forms of memorials that center Indigenous perspectives and collaboration to tell fuller stories and histories. \n \nLuger communicates stories of 21st-century Indigeneity\, sovereignty\, and anti-colonialism while offering critical cultural analysis through deep engagements with materials\, environments\, and communities. In addition to the exterior commission\, a gallery exhibition places Luger’s works of art in conversation with objects in UMMA’s collection\, allowing for discussion and thinking on long histories of collecting practices\, environmental degradation\, and the afterlife of colonialism. And\, a monument classroom from nonprofit public art and history studio Monument Lab invites the community to come together and examine how historic structures on the University of Michigan’s campus uphold social and cultural systems and narratives.  \n\nLead support for this project is provided by Teiger Foundation\, the U-M Office of the Provost\, the U-M Office of the President\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, the U-M Marsal Family School of Education\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, Michigan Humanities\, and the U-M Arts Initiative. Additional generous support is provided by Melissa Kaish and Jonathan Dorfman. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Curriculum / Collection
DESCRIPTION:In Curriculum / Collection\, an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows\, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way\, too.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and the Oakriver Foundation.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Martha Graham Dance Company
DESCRIPTION:As the company approaches its 100th anniversary\, it continues to exemplify its founder’s timeless and uniquely American style of dance\, one that has influenced generations of artists and continues to captivate audiences worldwide.\n\nMartha Graham is recognized as a primal artistic force of the 20th century\, alongside Pablo Picasso\, Virginia Woolf\, Igor Stravinsky\, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Graham radically expanded the dance vocabulary\, rooting it in social\, psychological\, and sexual ideas and forever altering the scope of the art form. These performances will include a new work choreographed by Jamar Roberts\, resident choreographer for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater\, and set to music by Rhiannon Giddens. The dance will be paired with Agnes de Mille’s 1942 classic Rodeo\; its iconic score by Aaron Copland has been reorchestrated for a bluegrass ensemble\, offering an expanded view of our cultural history and the influence of Black artists on American music and dance forms. Martha Graham’s final complete work\, Maple Leaf Rag\, rounds out the program.\n\nPROGRAM\nRodeo — The Courting at Burnt Ranch (Choreography by Agnes de Mille / Music by Aaron Copland in a new bluegrass arrangement by Gabe Witcher)\nNew Work (Jamar Roberts / Rhiannon Giddens)\nMaple Leaf Rag (Martha Graham / Scott Joplin)

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Exhibition. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:My Gender States
DESCRIPTION:On display at Lane Hall\, Rogério M. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Orson Welles as Family Man: Son\, Husband\, Father
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit provides a unique glimpse into the actor/director Orson Welles’ private life. 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).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Peter Dunn Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Peter Dunn has historically been an object maker as a designer and sculptor. 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.  He currently serves on faculty at College for Creative Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Time
DESCRIPTION:Artist Enrico Riley is best known for paintings that investigate violence and hope in cultural traditions in African American culture. His new work—created for his exhibition at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery—is personal and abstract. Started as an attempt to paint for himself\, away from the center of things and off at the edges\, they are from the spaces of private thought that slip into existence and just as easily slip away. They come from an internal conversation and contact with the world. \"When I am with them\,\" Riley explains\, \"I feel a tension between the spaces in the works being present but unnamed. The paintings allow me to observe myself looking. I am acutely aware of time. Maybe they are an invitation to speculate.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Foundations and Frontiers Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Sean Trott is an Assistant Professor at the University of California\, San Diego. He holds a joint appointment in Cognitive Science and Computational Social Science. His research focuses on how humans and machines understand language\, and makes use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to test hypotheses about human cognition.\n\nUPDATE: Sean Trott will be joining us virtually for this event\, the presentation will still take place in East Hall 4448.\n\nSchedule\n11:00-11:30 am Foundations Presentation\n11:30-11:45 am Q & A\n—15 minute pizza break—\n12:00-12:50 pm Frontiers Presentation\n12:50-1:20 pm Q & A\n\nPresentation Abstract\nFoundations: Many debates in Cognitive Science—such as whether certain cognitive capacities are innate\, or acquired through specific experiential input—are entrenched and difficult to resolve. A new paradigm attempts to address these debates using Large Language Models (LLMs) to test competing theories of human cognition. In particular\, because (most) LLMs are trained on linguistic input alone\, they serve as useful baselines: measures of what kinds of behaviors and capacities could in principle emerge purely from exposure to statistical patterns in language. In this talk\, I discuss the motivations for such an approach\, and briefly survey several examples from the literature. Finally\, I discuss the relevant trade-offs and considerations that might inform a researcher's decision about whether to use LLMs in their own research\, including: the amount (and quality) of data an LLM has been trained on\, issues of construct validity\, and multimodal models.\n\nFrontiers: Humans often reason about the mental states of others\, even when those mental states diverge from their own. The ability to reason about false beliefs—part of the broader constellation abilities that make up \"Theory of Mind\"—is viewed by many as playing a crucial role in social cognition. Yet there is considerable debate about whether this ability comes from. Some theories emphasize the role of innate biological endowments\, while others emphasize the role of experience. In this talk\, I consider a hypothesis about a specific kind of experience: language. To test this \"language exposure hypothesis\"\, I use GPT-3\, a Large Language Model (LLM) trained on linguistic input alone\, and ask whether and to what extent such a system displays evidence consistent with Theory of Mind. The LLM displays above-chance performance on a number of tasks\, but also falls short of human performance in multiple cases. I conclude by discussing the implications of these results for the language exposure hypothesis specifically\, and for research on Theory of Mind more generally.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:\"Understanding vector-host interactions to build better gene therapies\"
DESCRIPTION:Recombinant Adeno-associated viral vectors (rAAVs) are the leading platform for in-vivo gene therapy. Despite many desirable properties\, rAAVs have several limitations that prevent their application to many diseases\, and their difficulty to manufacture at large scales earned rAAVs the title \"The Most Expensive Drug in the World.\" Although rAAV vectors have been studied for nearly 40 years\, the adeno-associated virus (AAV) from which they originate causes no disease\; therefore AAV interactions with host cells are historically understudied and remain poorly defined.  Understanding the basic biology at the interface of rAAV and its host cell is the first step to illuminate how these mechanisms can be tuned to overcome rAAV's clinical limitations. In this talk\, I will present my graduate work studying AAV capsid assembly\, how I applied these findings to identify key structure-function relationships within the icosahedral capsid\, and how I used these principles to engineer capsids that assemble without a previously required viral co-factor. Next\, I will share my postdoctoral work that identified host factors involved in processing rAAV-delivered DNA\, and how their manipulation led to an over 30-fold increase in expression of an oversized transgene. Finally\, I will summarize the plans for my future lab\, which will continue studying vector-host interactions to overcome major limitations in the rAAV gene therapy field.

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.
