Ideologies of Sovereignty after Russia's Invasion of Ukraine: The Baltic Case DESCRIPTION:In Russia and the Baltic states\, competing ideologies of sovereignty have defined their positions in international relations and towards the war in Ukraine. I discuss how Russia’s sovereign ideologies of a great power and Lithuania’s as its victim were mutually constitutive after the collapse of the USSR. After 2014\, the Baltics’ radical politics of sovereignty\, grounded in its history of occupation and resistance against the USSR/Russia\, has become a framework to imagine the imminent war and\, after 2022\, the future of Europe with its center in the East.\n\nNeringa Klumbytė is associate professor of anthropology\, Havighurst Faculty at the Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies\, and director of the Lithuania program at the Havighurst Center\, Miami University.

In RDS\, the size of the respondents' social network (also known as personal network size (PNS)\, or respondent's degree) is important in both the study operations and in estimation. A commonly used estimation of degree is the self-reported data from the interview\, which typically has substantial measurement error\, and\, specifically\, is found to be frequently rounded to a multiple of five. Measurement error in the PNS can introduce biased estimates for RDS\, especially if the misreporting of the degree is associated with the outcome to be estimated.\n\nThis brown bag will present two related studies on the measurement of PNS. The first study uses two sets of data\; 1) semi-structured in-depth interviews conducted over Zoom with 19 adult respondents of various ages\, gender identities (transgender\, nonbinary\, cisgender)\, race\, and sexual orientations (gay\, lesbian\, bi)\, 2) an RDS web survey targeting the adult LGBT population (n = 394). Thematic analysis conducted on the semi-structured interview transcripts showed a large variation in how respondents define \"knowing\" someone\; for some respondents\, it covers a larger network than the \"recruitable\" network (the network of people respondents are likely to think of recruiting to an RDS study). Meanwhile\, the web-RDS shows that the more restrictive PNS questions yielded more realistic ranges for a \"recruitable\" network\, with less proportion of rounded responses on the more restrictive PNS questions. \n\nMotivated by the desire to improve the degree estimation in RDS\, the second study presents a latent variable model to make inferences about participants’ actual degrees and potential reporting behaviors. Specifically\, individual-level degree estimation will be obtained by revealing the association between the actual degree and relevant personal characteristics and blending their response to “How many [a particular sub-population] do you know in the target population?” Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed method delivers sensible estimations about the individual degree.\n\nBios\nAi Rene Ong works at American Institutes for Research (AIR) as a Researcher/Survey Methodologist in the area of Education Statistics. She graduated with a PhD in Survey Methodology from the University of Michigan in 2022. Her dissertation research was on the measurement of network size and the mechanism of peer recruitment in Respondent Driven Sampling — a sampling method typically used for hard-to-sample populations. \n\nYibo Wang is a 3rd year Ph.D. candidate from the department of Biostatistics. She is now working with Dr. Sunghee Lee and Dr. Michael Elliott on measurement estimation in Respondent Driven Sampling\n\nMichigan Program in Survey and Data Science (MPSDS)\nThe University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021\, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data\, but also including social media posts\, sensor data\, and administrative records\, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research\, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.\n\nSummer Institute in Survey Research Techniques (SISRT)\nThe mission of the Summer Institute is to provide rigorous and high quality graduate training in all phases of survey research. The program teaches state-of-the-art practice and theory in the design\, implementation\, and analysis of surveys. The Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques has presented courses on the sample survey since the summer of 1948\, and has offered such courses every summer since. Graduate-level courses through the Program in Survey and Data Science are offered from June 5 through July 28 and available to enroll in as a Summer Scholar.\n\nThe Summer Institute uses the sample survey as the basic instrument for the scientific measurement of human activity. It presents sample survey methods in courses designed to meet the educational needs of those specializing in social and behavioral research such as professionals in business\, public health\, natural resources\, law\, medicine\, nursing\, social work\, and many other domains of study.

One of the major hypotheses of how competitive coexistence can arise\, in a variety of systems\, but especially among tree species in forests (which are important given their role in the global carbon cycle)\, is that species differ in their successional niches. However\, much work remains to fully understand the differences in demographic strategy that could mediate this successional niche differentiation\, and the degree to which it is at play in nature. Mathematical modeling has proved to be an important tool for quantifying the influence of differential demographic strategies. However\, modeling successional niche differentiation requires consideration of both patch-age structure and size-structure within competing populations. These have been only sparingly included in mathematical models due to the tendency to make the models too complicated to study analytically. In this thesis\, we develop a suite of mathematical models that include these structures and systematically assess—using analytical and numerical approaches—their potential to give rise to opportunities for variation between species among demographic trade-offs to enable coexistence. \n\nThe first set of models we consider incorporate patch-age structure—defined as the subsequent progression of competitive dynamics\, or the ‘aging’ of patches after disturbance events. Patch-age has been posited as creating opportunities for coexistence of species competing on a landscape if they differ in their life history (demographic) strategies. Mathematical models used to study this possibility are either too simple\, not modelling patch aging explicitly\, or far more complex and requiring extensive simulation. We study four patch-age structured nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) models that are still analytically tractable in most cases but allow explicit consideration of the progression of competitive dynamics as patches age after disturbance. We consider three possible types of density-dependence for their importance in coexistence under disturbance: 1) on reproduction\, 2) on recruitment\, or 3) on mortality. Although in nature all three types of density-dependence are likely acting in concert\, here we consider each in turn on its own\, both to help retain analytical tractability\, and to identify which type of density-dependence is critical to set up conditions for coexistence. \n\nUnder density-dependence on recruitment alone\, the model does not permit feasible coexistence. However\, under density-dependent reproduction or under density-dependent mortality\, variation between two species along a reproduction survival and a sensitivity-to- competition/mortality trade-off both allow for feasible and stable coexistence. One species must have both higher reproduction and higher mortality than the other species in order for coexistence to occur. Inter mediate relative reproduction and death rates\, which could arise from intermediate values of disturbance\, lead to a wider coexistence region. The results we present contrast importantly with the classical competition-colonization trade-off model by showing that simply a reproduction/survival trade-off can facilitate coexistence under disturbance. This trade-off is arguably more often observed in nature. \n\nThe second set of models we consider incorporate size-structure. Models capturing the size-structured nature of competition between trees are complex\, and have faced barriers to complete analysis\, leaving the specific demographic trade-offs that could allow for coexistence unclear. We study four size-structured nonlinear PDE models which include hierarchical size-structuring while remaining analytically tractable. We again consider three possible types of density-dependence 1) on reproduction\, 2) on recruitment or 3) on mortality. \n\nUnder only density-dependent mortality we find numerical analysis is needed. While we find that coexistence is not possible under density-dependent recruitment alone\, we are able to show that hierarchical size-structuring allows for stable coexistence under density-dependent reproduction when species vary along a reproduction and maximal-height continuum. One species must have a higher reproduction rate while the other is able to grow much taller and escape the harmful effects of competition in order for coexistence to occur. This result provides a more rigorous demonstration of prior results from a more complex model which was analyzed numerically\, and also highlights that a trade-off that has been observed empirically among tree species can result in coexistence. \n\nThe third set of models we consider employ both size and patch-age structure simultaneously. Size and patch-age structures have been used together through extensive simulation and a variety of trade-offs were found to influence coexistence. We consider a size and patch-age structured model which has both a size hierarchy as well as an explicit patch-age structure. We consider a density-dependence on 1) reproduction or 2) recruitment. Under density-dependent recruitment the model does not permit feasible coexistence. However\, under density-dependent reproduction—and when shading effects are felt from all individuals—we show coexistence can occur through a trade-off between growth and survival. (Analysis of a density-dependent reproduction model where shading occurs only from taller individuals is in progress.) The growth/survival trade-off has been widely observed among tree species. The coexistence enabling nature of variation along this trade-off contrasts with forest ecologist’s historical focus on a trade-off between growth in high light and survival in the shade as the key to coexistence. \n\nThe results we present in this dissertation are the first (without assuming perfect plasticity or discrete size classes) to show analytical trade-offs resulting in coexistence through models which include hierarchical size-structure\, patch-age structure or size and patch-age structure. Overall this dissertation provides a basis for an analytically tractable modeling approach for studying competition between two species (with the potential of extending to multiple species) whose populations are structured by size and/or patch-age and hence provides the core methodology needed for studying coexistence through life-history variation analytically.

DESCRIPTION:String theory offers an elegant and concrete realization of how to consistently couple states of arbitrarily high spin. But how unique is this construction? In this talk\, I will derive a novel\, multi-parameter family of four-point scattering amplitudes exhibiting i) polynomially bounded high-energy behavior and ii) exchange of an infinite tower of high-spin modes\, albeit with a finite number of states at each resonance. These amplitudes take an infinite-product form and\, depending on parameters\, exhibit mass spectra that are either unbounded or bounded\, thus corresponding to generalizations of the Veneziano and Coon amplitudes\, respectively. For the bounded case\, masses converge to an accumulation point\, a peculiar feature seen in the Coon amplitude but more recently understood to arise naturally in string theory. Importantly\, our amplitudes contain free parameters allowing for the customization of the slope and offset of the spin-dependence in the Regge trajectory. We compute all partial waves for this multi-parameter class of amplitudes and identify unitary regions of parameter space. For the unbounded case\, we apply similar methods to derive new deformations of the Veneziano and Virasoro-Shapiro amplitudes.

Yet\, this year we find ourselves in a position where we can talk about the milestones of burning plasmas\, fusion ignition\, and target energy gain greater than unity in the past tense – a situation that is remarkable! In this talk\, I tell the story of the applied physics challenges that needed to be overcome to achieve these milestones and the strategy our team followed. To help understand the story\, several key physics principles of inertial fusion will be presented\, and I will try and dispel any confusion about what the terms burning\, ignition\, and gain mean in the context of inertial fusion research.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nOmar Hurricane is Chief Scientist for the inertial confinement fusion program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory\, a position he’s held since 2014. Omar completed his PhD in Physics at UCLA in 1994 where he remained as a postdoc doing plasma theory until 1998. In 2009\, Omar was awarded the Department of Energy E.O. Lawrence Award for National Security and Nonproliferation for solving a long-standing nuclear weapons anomaly. More recently\, Omar has been recognized for his contributions to inertial confinement fusion with Fellowship in the American Physical Society (APS)\, the 2021 Edward Teller Award of the American Nuclear Society\, and the 2022 John Dawson Award from Excellence in Plasma Physics of the APS for achieving the first laboratory burning plasma. \n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person and simulcast via Zoom: https://mipse.umich.edu/seminars_2223.php#winter2023 UID:103472-21807308@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/103472 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Fusion,Graduate Students,In Person,Lecture,Michigan Engineering,Physics,Plasma,Research,Science,seminar,Talk LOCATION:Lurie Robert H.

While analyses such as lipids\, isotopes\, and DNA are well-established\, recently developed protein analysis offers new insights. The combination of species- and tissue-specific information provided by amino acid sequences have been critical in clarifying which animals\, or animal products\, were consumed by archaeological populations. While protein analysis offers new lines of evidence\, working with ancient materials requires specific laboratory and data analysis protocols in order to authenticate the age and reliability of the results. Recently\, this this method has been used to illuminate the spread of milk use on the Bronze Age Eurasian steppe and beyond. Through recently produced protein data\, we can see that use of ruminant milk enabled long-distance Yamnaya migrations across arid steppic environments\, and specifically\, how milking practices traveled in tandem with expanding populations from the western Pontic-Caspian region to the far Eastern Steppe of Mongolia.\n\nSnacks and refreshments to follow the lecture.

We will explore how mindful connections can help foster communities of care. Drawing on Black feminist thought this workshop centers the words of the late poet Audre Lorde who said\, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence\, it is self-preservation\, and that is an act of political warfare.” By identifying the ways that we are and are not caring for ourselves we can begin to cultivate new intentions and practices that model for our families\, students\, and colleagues why self-care is an integral part of a balanced and whole life for women.\n\nDuring the workshop\, participants will engage in small and large group discussions focused on ideas and questions from the brief readings. We will develop our own “Self-Care Bingo” boards as a culminating activity and participants will be invited to do their best to complete bingo on their board throughout the rest of the month. Participants will be invited back at the end of the month (or beginning of April) to celebrate and share their joys and challenges in community.\n\nThis workshop will kick off a month-long series of activities related to practicing self-care and cultivating communities of care in the process. Each week participants will receive an email with resources\, tips\, and tools for incorporating self-care into their daily lives. The email will help to continue the conversation begun in the workshop and help to strengthen connections between participants and CEW+.

We explore variations to the standard setup which involve controlled observations. Exploration through the control of the quality and accuracy of observations is combined with the exploitation of the gathered information to maximise expected rewards. This differs from standard partial information setups\, where one has access to a stream of noisy information which is not subject to active controls. The trade-off is akin to the exploration vs exploitation problem in reinforcement learning.

To address both concerns\, we estimate cyclicality in labor's user cost exploiting the long-run wage in a match to control for its quality. Using NLSY data for 1980 to 2019\, we identify three channels by which hiring in a recession affects user cost: It lowers the new-hire wage\; it lowers wages going forward in the match\; but it also results in higher subsequent separations. All totaled\, we find that labor's user cost is highly procyclical\, increasing by about 3\% for a 1 pp decline in the unemployment rate\, with three-quarters of this reflecting a procyclical quality-adjusted new-hire wage.

Haidostian Distinguished Lecture | Tradition and innovation in Armenian music: A Lecture/Performance with The Naghash Ensemble DESCRIPTION:For the 2023 Dr. Berj H. Haidostian Annual Distinguished Lecture\, the Center for Armenian Studies is collaborating with the Center for World Performance Studies to bring the fabulous and internationally renowned Naghash Ensemble to Michigan. The Naghash ensemble “combines the earthy spirituality of Armenian folk song\, new classical music\, and contemporary post-minimalism with the energy of rock and jazz. Three brilliant female vocalists and some of Armenia’s finest instrumentalists on duduk\, oud\, dhol\, and piano play captivating new music based on sacred texts by the medieval Armenian mystic poet and priest\, Mkrtich Naghash.” The idea for The Naghash Ensemble when composer and pianist John Hodian heard Hasmik Baghdasaryan singing medieval Armenian spiritual music in an ancient pagan temple outside of Yerevan\, Armenia. The unique acoustics of the ancient structure added to the magic of her voice\, John Hodian writes\, haunting him for days. Determined to capture the moment and extend the magic beyond that performance\, Hodian with a sound in mind searched for many years to find the text that would be the foundation of a new musical journey. Comping through the libraries of Yerevan\, New York\, and Berlin\, Hodian came across the work of the medieval Armenian poet Mkrtich Naghash. “The words leaped off the page and into my soul” Hodian writes. This was exactly the text that he was searching for. Hodian began setting the poem of Mkrtich Naghash to music and eventually found the right group of talented musicians to perform what he had envisioned the day he heard Baghdasaryan’s voice floating through the ancient space enchanting the present.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at armenianstudies@umich.edu.

Or rather\, what he couldn’t see: his fingers on the frets. Soon after\, a diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa (RP)\, a degenerative eye disease\, would bring some answers\, but it also yielded new questions. Does diminished eyesight correlate with lesser insight? Does your songwriting change when your perception of the world around you changes? These questions\, and Mark’s hunt for creative agency\, are at the heart of his new album\, “Lay Your Darkness Down.” In need of connection and catharsis\, he turned as he often did to songwriting. “The only way I could console myself was to know that I was still going to be able to have some creative agency\,” Mark says. “I could then bring whatever I was feeling or wanting to express into reality.” He began to craft songs with an intricate\, labored approach like never before. “It's much more like an oil painting\, where you're layering different tones and colors one at a time.” UID:101902-21802817@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/101902 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230308T180033 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230308T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230308T223000 SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:MSwing Lesson + Open Dance DESCRIPTION:Come join us for a swing dance lesson (both beginner and advanced lessons will be taught!)\, games\, open dance following the lesson\, and meeting a bunch of cool folks :) We're a completely free organization\, and no partner is required to attend.We generally meet on Wednesdays at 8pm in Palmer - Great Lakes\, but note the time and location differences for the 3/8\, 3/28\, and 4/20 meetings.  UID:105350-21811597@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105350 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Palmer Commons CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230308T060014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T090000 SUMMARY:Other:2023 US OPEN - Taekwondo DESCRIPTION:WT Sponsored International Taekwondo Event UID:103795-21807855@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/103795 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230412T120004 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T235959 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Academy of Adventist Scholars Bible Study DESCRIPTION:Academy of Adventist ScholarsFollowing the legacy of university scholars throughout Christian history\, we as Seventh-day Adventist university students join in the pursuit of an intelligent faith and depth of understanding of the Word of God to bring the same purpose and excellence to our faith as we bring to our academic careers. This 1-hour weekly “lunch and learn” will focus in-depth on scripture questions and doctrines.

Survivors Saving Survivors: Photographing the Ukrainian Refugee Experience in Poland DESCRIPTION:In April and June 2022\, at the invitation of JCC Krakow\, Chuck Fishman traveled to Poland to document the JCC and the Jewish community’s commitment to helping Ukrainian refugees fleeing their war-torn country. What he witnessed and captured in a series of gripping photographs is *tikkun olam*\, a central concept in Judaism that denotes activities that repair and improve the world we live in. The exhibit shifts the lens away from the horror the refugees have endured to focus instead on human goodness and how it can overcome lingering evil.\n\nIn his 45-year career\, freelance photographer Chuck Fishman has focused on social and political issues with a strong humanistic concern. His work on Jewish life in Poland\, begun in 1975\, continues to the present day. Fishman’s work has been extensively published\, exhibited\, and collected worldwide\, and has earned him prestigious World Press Photo Foundation medals four times. His photographs have appeared on the covers of *Time*\, *Life*\, *Fortune*\, *Newsweek*\, *The London Sunday Times*\, *The Economist*\, and numerous others. Fishman’s work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery\, the United Nations POLIN: The Museum of the History of Polish Jews\, and the Stanford University and New York Public Libraries\, to name a few\, as well as private and corporate collections.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race\, spirituality\, history\, mental wellness and community.

However\, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother\, Dell Pryor\, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades\, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans\, Hugh Grannum\, Lester Sloan\, Al Loving\, Gilda Snowden\, Shirley Woodson\, Anthony Barboza\, and Eric Pryor among others. \n\nIn 2008\, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit)\, a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society. \n\nIn 2019\, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage\, photo montage\, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works\, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

Rather than imagining it as a singular\, coherent object\, this exhibit seeks to introduce the diversity\, difference\, and complexity inherent in feminist activism in Japan. As in other cultural contexts\, “feminism” in Japan can invoke sharply different associations\, from office workers trying to reshape taken-for-granted structures of power and authority\, to mothers advocating for safer school lunches after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disasters\, and queer couples seeking legal recognition for the families they have created. Mainstream feminist activism in Japan has focused on advocating for change in families\, workplaces\, schools\, political institutions\, and laws\, among many other contexts. Many ­– but certainly not all – feminist activists in Japan are also responding to the lasting legacies of Japanese colonial projects\, working toward recognition\, repair\, and meaningful reparations for racial and gender-based violence that continue to impact communities disproportionately.\n\nThis exhibit features original portraits of feminists who have shaped the landscape of women's and gender rights in Japan and beyond. Created by nine contemporary artists in Japan and the United States\, the portraits and accompanying texts challenge simplistic understandings of \"feminism\" while also drawing attention to a diversity of experiences\, needs\, and activism within Japan. This exhibit also spotlights the history of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan in conjunction with the Center for Japanese Studies' 75th anniversary celebration. \n\n“Portraits of Feminism in Japan” is open for viewing M-F 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.\n\nFeatured artists:\nElaine Cromie\, JenClare B.

It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside.

Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race\, spirituality\, history\, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter\, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown\, which is evident in his work. \n\nMorris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age\, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However\, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother\, Dell Pryor\, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades\, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans\, Hugh Grannum\, Lester Sloan\, Al Loving\, Gilda Snowden\, Shirley Woodson\, Anthony Barboza\, and Eric Pryor among others. \n\nIn 2008\, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit)\, a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society. \n\nIn 2019\, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage\, photo montage\, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works\, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

All genocide starts with a destructive ideology and followed afterwards by denial. This talk will re-examine the concepts of genocide ideology and denial\, how they are linked and how they contributed to the killings of Tutsi from 1959 up to 1994. Available literature as well as recent cases will be thoroughly analyzed\, both at local and international level\, to understand different forms and trends of genocide ideology and denial\, with specific emphasis on the Rwandan case.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information Data\, Archives\, and Information Seminar\; African Studies Center\; Museum Studies Program\; Ethics\, Society and Computing\; and Franklin Innovator Residency Fund.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nWith a PhD in education from the University of Geneva\, I have substantial experience working with the United Nations\, international non-governmental organizations\, non-profit organizations\, and governments on projects related to equitable and sustainable education curricula. As the Director General of the Research and Documentation Center on Genocide at the Rwanda National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG)\, I managed and led research projects as well as designed\, implemented\, monitored\, and assessed projects related to the Genocide against the Tutsi. Key projects included the digitization of forty-five million pages and four thousand audio-visual materials from Rwanda’s Gacaca Courts\, the preservation of textiles at the Nyamata genocide memorial site\, the preservation of bodies at the Murambi genocide memorial site\, and the preservation of artifacts in six other national genocide memorial sites in Rwanda. Between 2013 and 2015\, I also participated in a team responsible for designing Rwanda’s new national education curriculum for history and civic education. I am currently a Consultant with the International Labour Organization (ILO) for their Accelerator Lab 8.7 Program\, which provides funding and support to international organizations with innovative solutions to tackle child labor\, forced labor\, and human trafficking.

Based on extensive archival research using many newly declassified sources\, *The Peacemaker* is the first book of its kind to offer a comprehensive overview of the Reagan administration’s foreign policy\, including important topics such as its policies in Asia\, the Middle East\, counterterrorism\, and international economics.\n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\n\nWilliam Inboden is executive director and William Powers\, Jr. Chair at the Clements Center for National Security at the University of Texas-Austin. He also serves as associate professor at the LBJ School of Public Affairs\, distinguished scholar at the Strauss Center for International Security and Law\, and editor-in-chief of the Texas National Security Review. Previously he served as senior director for strategic planning on the NSC at the White House. Inboden also worked at the Department of State as a member of the policy planning staff and a special advisor in the Office of International Religious Freedom\, and as a Congressional staff member in both the US House and Senate. He is a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations\, and member of the CIA Historical Advisory Panel and State Department Historical Advisory Council. Inboden's recent book\, *The Peacemaker: Ronald Reagan in the White House and the World*\, published November\, 2022 is an in-depth account of how Reagan's foreign policy won the Cold War and laid the foundations for the 21st century.

Yet that idea was developed much later than commonly assumed. Debates leading up to the Clayton Act of 1914 form an important episode leading up to that contested development. Professor Paul will discuss her draft chapter\, part of a larger book project\, that considers this episode in the context of surrounding developments in the law\, in economic thought\, and in the organization of economic activity. A less-familiar view of competition and markets (from the modern perspective —one focused on distinguishing between fair and unfair competition—also had an important role in the debates leading to Progressive Era antitrust legislation. This view of markets acknowledges that competition is always channeled in particular qualitative directions—guided by\, among other things\, law—and is also always accompanied by particular\, legally-conditioned forms of economic coordination.

This study examines the role of outgroup empathy as a potential driver of support for restrictive voting laws and voter suppression efforts. Evidence from two national surveys indicates that outgroup empathy may boost support for race-based electoral justice\, above and beyond the influence of partisanship\, ideology\, and a host of socio-demographic influences. As predicted\, the effects of group empathy are conditional on political sophistication: Those most likely to be aware that these laws target minority group voters are also those who bring outgroup empathy to bear on their policy views. The findings suggest that group empathy—especially among the most politically sophisticated—can catalyze opposition to restrictive voting laws.

Moreover\, when researching this cultural adaptation process\, scholars have faced their own challenges as well. This presentation highlights some of the peculiar – and in some ways absurd – dilemmas and limitations that psychologists have faced when attempting to study Arab American acculturation from the theoretical frameworks and methodologies dominant in the traditional psychological acculturation literature.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Mona M. Amer\, PhD\, is a Professor of Psychology and was founding chair of the Department of Psychology at the American University in Cairo\, where she has received the university’s annual teaching and service awards. She completed her doctorate at the University of Toledo and postdoctoral fellowship as an APA Minority Fellow at Yale University School of Medicine. Her work revolves around ethnic/racial disparities in behavioral health\, with specializations in the Arab and Muslim minorities. As a clinical-community psychologist she is interested in risk and protective factors that impact disparities\, and ways to eliminate inequities through culturally competent services\, community-based programming\, and social policy. Her publications include two articles in American Psychologist and two landmark co-edited Routledge books: Handbook of Arab American Psychology and Counseling Muslims: Handbook of Mental Health Issues and Interventions. Dr. Amer co-founded and served as the first elected president of the American Arab\, Middle Eastern\, and North African Psychological Association (AMENA-Psy).

This paper points out that in such models the issue of nonstandard inference can arise even when the instruments are strong. Moreover\, this occurs at very important points of parameter space\; for instance\, when the coefficient on the mismeasured regressor in a nonlinear regression is close to zero. The root of the problem is weak identification of the nuisance parameters\, such as the distribution of the measurement error or control variable. These parameters are weakly identified when the mismeasured variable has small effect on the outcomes. As a result\, the estimators of the parameters of interest generally are not asymptotically normal and the standard tests and confidence sets can be invalid. We illustrate how this issue arises in several estimation approaches. This complication can be particularly problematic when the nuisance parameters are infinite-dimensional.\n\n Making use of the specific structure of the EIV problem\, the paper proposes simple approaches to conducting uniformly valid inference about the parameter of interest. The highlevel conditions are illustrated by a detailed analysis of a semiparametric approach to EIV in the general moment condition settings.

However\, the more ambitious the mission goals and the farther exploration takes us from Earth\, the more ingenious\, cost-effective\, and safe solutions need to be engineered to enable such missions. To handle the increasing complexity\, the next generation of space missions will require autonomous human-level decision-making in highly unknown or perturbed environments. \n\nIn this talk\, I will present the prospects and challenges for developing autonomous and robotics systems that can dynamically evolve and modify with the environment. The talk will highlight how the system-level impact of autonomy integration and its combination with optimal control allows for an intelligent\, dynamic\, autonomous system capable of making rational decisions that consider both the safety and performance of the specific executed operations and the overall performance of the mission. \n\nThis approach is used to advance aerobraking\, an atmospheric process used to slow down and insert a spacecraft into a low orbit around a planet\, showing dramatic advancement in flight performance\, risk\, and cost. Finally\, a generalization of the findings is presented in terms of necessary improvements for designing environment-aware decision-making algorithms\, and the opportunities autonomy will provide for the next generation of space missions.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Giusy Falcone is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. She works on trajectory optimization for space applications in the RExLab group under the guidance of Prof. Zachary Manchester.

During his first years of adolescence\, Muzamil grows up like other children\, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19\, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.\n\nFilm Facts & Background:\nSince few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956\, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

This process is facilitated at the graft endothelial surface\, where inflamed endothelial cells (ECs) upregulate adhesion molecules and recruit effector cells of the host immune system. To combat this dysfunctional inflammation locally and with more impact than globally administered therapies\, anti-inflammatory agents can be administered directly to the graft endothelium. We have designed a strategy for local and sustained delivery of these agents using molecularly-targeted polymer nanoparticles (NPs) during a period of ex vivo normothermic machine perfusion (EVNMP) of the organ. I will present several approaches for therapeutic delivery using polymeric NPs as well as strategies to direct NPs using molecular targets to the ECs of interest. We have discovered that rapid accumulation of NPs on ECs relies on both the density and accessibility of the potential ligands\, and that these parameters can be measured directly in the relevant human vessel setting. The experiments we have conducted within these platforms are being used to develop a high throughput preclinical approach to optimize immune therapy for local and robust treatment in human organ transplant.\n\nBio: I joined the faculty at Villanova University in the fall of 2022 in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. I am continuing my research into NP-based therapeutic delivery to human vasculature and integrating these strategies with tissue-engineering to create tools for long-term immune modulation. Specifically\, materials that provide support for tissue regrowth while temporarily inhibiting inflammation-related injury\, thus reducing the burden of chronic inflammation. My work presented here today was done as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Biomedical Engineering at Yale University as part of Dr. W. Mark Saltzman’s research group. In my graduate work\, I developed vascular\, tissue engineered constructs using a combination of biological and synthetic materials at the University of Maryland with Dr. John Fisher in Bioengineering.

I draw on ethnographic research that I conducted between 2016 and 2017 at the Desert Echo Facility (pseudonym)\, a state prison in the American Southwest that holds individuals from minimum to high-security levels. Some incarcerated people feel supposedly inanimate objects\, such as walls and floors\, moving\, while others feel vibrations moving across the compound. For many of the incarcerated\, physical movement signifies aliveness – meaning that incarceration forces them to question if they are less alive than the “inanimate” materials that confine them. Others understand these movements as the direct violence of the state that represent purposeful disruptions to the ways they construct relations. In this context\, incarcerated peoples’ alive status is no longer a given and their relations no longer assumed to be inherent and ongoing\, but rather\, processes to be negotiated within criminal punishment systems. I focus on what these movements mean to incarcerated people\, and how they situate these movements within often competing ontological frameworks informed by histories of and ongoing settler violence in what came to be known as the United States. \n\nContent warning: There are examples of physical violence\, carceral trauma\, and feelings of self-harm in this presentation.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nDr. Macario Garcia is a cultural anthropologist with a focus on mobility\, animacy\, incarceration\, and prison-industrial complex abolition. They earned their PhD from the University of Virginia and MA degrees from University of Virginia and American Public University. They are currently partnering with incarcerated people to create maps of carceral migration in the United States and to document oral histories across correctional landscapes.

For instance\, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) requires that molecules interact with the metal surface at short distances of 2 nm or less without disrupting the surface atoms. In this presentation\, anisotropic nanostructures such as gold nanostars will be used in conjunction with SERS to detect trace molecules. Two challenges and approaches to better predict structure-function behavior of noble metal nanoparticles will be discussed. A combination of experimental measurements that provide molecular-level insight coupled with semi-empirical modeling will be shown to improve the systematic use of gold nanostars by providing a method for predicting the stability and hence\, the fate of nanomaterials in various environmental conditions. After these considerations\, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy and SERS will be exploited for the direct\, qualitative and quantitative detection of small biologically relevant molecules. In the future\, these results could be expanded for different nanomaterial shapes\, compositions\, and molecular targets.\nAmanda Haes (University of Iowa) UID:97042-21793744@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/97042 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220822T155024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Hopwood Tea DESCRIPTION:The Hopwood Program is pleased to announce the return of Hopwood Teas for the 2022-23 academic year.

We use nonlinear ordinary differential equations to mathematically model these processes in the deterministic regime. If a given process occurs at disparate time-scales\, we can further reduce the number of equations to obtain a quasi-steady-state approximation of the system. In this talk\, we consider a significant mechanism in chemical kinetics called the Michaelis–Menten reaction and its different quasi-steady-state reductions. We focus on the challenges faced in applying classical reduction theory on the system and the conditions under which its reductions are valid in the stochastic regime. We make use of a stochastic simulation algorithm called the Gillespie algorithm to demonstrate the accuracy of the reduced systems and to disprove a commonly-accepted qualifier for the validity of the stochastic approximation.

We show that although the autocrat always wants to co-opt the military\, this is not necessarily true of the clerics. Exclusive co-option of the military obtains where the loyalty of the autocrat’s army is strong while the organizational strength of religious movements is rather low. Radical institutional reforms can then be implemented. Empirically\, the dominant regime in contemporary Muslim countries is the regime of double co-option where the autocrat resorts to a double-edged tactic: pleasing the official clerics by slowing the pace of reforms\, and ensuring the loyalty of the military so as to put down clerics-led rebellions.

Specifically\, we develop a method based on the sequential quadratic programming paradigm that employs variance reduction in the gradient approximations. Under reasonable assumptions\, we prove that a measure of first-order stationarity evaluated at the iterates generated by our proposed algorithm converges to zero in expectation from arbitrary starting points\, for both constant and adaptive step size strategies. Finally\, we demonstrate the practical performance of our proposed algorithm on constrained binary classification problems that arise in machine learning.

As Cheech himself jests\, “people know me from the womb to the tomb.\" Widely acknowledged as a cultural icon\, he is perhaps best known as one half of the hilariously irreverent\, satirical\, counterculture comedy duo Cheech &\; Chong\, which found commercial and cultural success with their stand up routines\, studio recordings\, and feature films. He has also voiced characters in several Disney films\, including Oliver &\; Company\, The Lion King\, the Cars series\, and Coco.\nIn addition to a successful life in entertainment\, Cheech Marin is recognized today as a preeminent advocate for Chicano art. In the mid-1980’s\, he began developing what is now arguably the finest private collection of Chicano art. In addition to artwork loans to numerous institutions\, this notable collection has been featured in over a dozen exhibitions organized and shown at more than 50 museums in the U.S. Comprising mostly paintings\, followed by drawings\, prints\, mixed-media artworks\, sculptures\, and photography\, the collection now serves as the core of The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art &\; Culture of Riverside Art Museum\, which opened in June 2022. A long-term goal of “The Cheech” is to supplement and expand the collection with Chicano artists\, media\, and subject matter not currently included through acquisitions and donations from artists and their estates\, art collectors\, dealers\, and institutions.\nCheech was born Richard Marin in South Central Los Angeles and was an Angeleno until a move to Canada\, where he serendipitously met Tommy Chong. He moved back to Los Angeles with Chong and their comedy duo proved entertainment gold. Six of their albums went gold\, four were nominated for Grammys\, and their Los Cochinos won the 1973 Grammy for Best Comedy Recording. The critically acclaimed duo made a fluid transition to films\, starring in eight features together. Their first -- Up In Smoke -- was the highest grossing comedy of 1978\, topping $100 million at the box office.\n\nFree of charge: use \"Related Link\" on right for complete details.

The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name\, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height\, weight\, etc. In the process\, their humanity is denied.\n\nThis exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so\, those in prison reclaim their humanity.\n\nMuseum hours\nThursdays–Saturdays: 10:00 AM–5:00PM\nSundays: 1:00–5:00 PM UID:105624-21812526@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105624 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:27th Annual Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Detroit Historical Museum CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230219T113955 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T190000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Negotiation Workshop DESCRIPTION:Join GradSWE@University of Michigan & the teams at 81cents & Rora to get the tools\, information\, and data you need to negotiate your next offer more confidently.\n\nSome of the topics covered:\n- Understanding the fundamentals of compensation in tech (particularly around equity\, bonus structures\, etc.)\n- How to get over your fears of negotiating\n- How to decide which company / offer is right for you\n- How to negotiate without counter offers and without knowing \"market value\"\n- How to respond to pushback from recruiters and other guilt tripping / lowballing /pressure tactics\n- How to avoid having an offer rescinded\n- How to negotiate deadline of an offer\n- Walking through a timeline of the negotiation process for a new offer\n\nThe recording will be shared after with anyone who registers!\n\nRSVP is required.\nContact: Em Buten at butene@umich.edu UID:105151-21811187@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105151 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Engineering,Graduate Students,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230301T132942 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T200000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:Thursday Movie Night DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Connector every Thursday night for a movie!

While the month is federally recognized in May\, the campus community celebrates the month from mid-March to mid-April to align with the academic calendar. To celebrate the Pacific Islander (or\, Oceanian) community\, we also host PI Heritage Week dedicated to the histories\, heritages\, communities\, and identities of the Oceanian community. \n\nThe kick-off is expected to take place at 6:30 pm on March 9th\, 2023 at the Michigan Room in the Michigan League. This year our theme is Generational Change and Healing. Our Planning Committee selected this theme after conversations around wanting to build toward unity and increase self-awareness within our communities. The historical resilience of both the Asian American and Oceanian communities are clear and\, despite the violence we have faced and continue to face\, we choose instead to center our healing. Our communities often draw from inherited knowledge and wisdom\, invoking inspiration and a push for change in the younger generations and generations to come. This heritage month\, we hope to reinforce our healing by hosting events and conversations that build\, uplift\, and challenge our communities.\n\nIf you are interested in tabling and showcasing your art at the kick off\, please submit the form here: https://forms.gle/QdYmVXdqragyhMdE9\n\nKeep up with us on instagram @AA.PIHM\n\nPlease email Aia Hawari (aiah@umich.edu) with any questions or concerns you may have.

It is an age-old dream. Google Books and HathiTrust have endeavored to fulfill it in the modern age. They are now well-established digital archives\, used by citizens\, scholars\, and students from around the world. The path to their creation was filled with aspirations and visions\, obstacles and hurdles\, negotiations and compromises. And the University of Michigan was at the center of these and other efforts in library digitization. Please join us for discussion with a panel of individuals who were intimately involved in the process: Paul Courant\, who as U-M Provost at the time shaped a visionary response to the opportunities of digitization and Google in particular\; Wendy Pradt Lougee\, who as head of the Graduate Library and of Digital Library Services spearheaded electronic access and nurtured innovative approaches to it\; John Wilkin\, a leader in digital humanities who provided leadership in negotiating critical understandings and agreements concerning usage of digital material\; and Roger Schonfeld\, co-author of Along Came Google: A History of Library Digitization\, which gives a comprehensive account of this important development in the history of modern access to knowledge.\n\nAs with all events at the Detroit Observatory\, visitors are invited to tour the Observatory after the event\, with observing if the weather permits.\n\nPaul Courant is the Edward M. Gramlich Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of Economics and Public Policy\, Harold T. Shapiro Collegiate Professor Emeritus of Public Policy\, AND Arthur F. Thurnau Professor Emeritus of Economics and Information at the University of Michigan. Among many roles at U-M\, Courant has served as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs\, as university librarian and dean of libraries\, and as director of the Institute of Public Policy Studies (predecessor of the Ford School). His academic work has recently focused on economic and policy questions relating to universities\, libraries and archives\, and the effects of new information technologies. He was a founding board member of both the HathiTrust Digital Library and the Digital Public Library of America.\n\nWendy Pradt Lougee served as University Librarian and Dean of Libraries\, and McKnight Presidential Professor at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities\, retiring in 2020. Prior to her appointment at the University of Minnesota in 2002\, Lougee held several positions at the University of Michigan over a 20-year period\, including Associate Director for Digital Library Services. Her work in launching and developing a digital library program at Michigan was recognized with the American Library Association’s Hugh Atkinson Award. Her research and publications have focused on digital library development\, information economics\, assessment of research behavior\, virtual organizations\, and e-research.\n\nRoger C. Schonfeld is the vice president of organizational strategy for ITHAKA and of Ithaka S+R’s libraries\, scholarly communication\, and museums program. With Deanna Marcum\, he wrote Along Came Google: A History of Library Digitization (Princeton University Press\, 2021)\, examining structural impediments to digital strategy and the role of an outside catalyst in fostering digitization among research libraries. Roger was previously at The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and currently serves board member for the Center for Research Libraries.\n\nJohn Wilkin is the Chief Executive Officer of Lyrasis. Prior to joining Lyrasis\, Wilkin served as the Dean of Libraries at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign from 2013-2022\, as well as UIUC’s Interim Provost from 2017-2018. He was the founding executive director of HathiTrust and served in that capacity from 2008 until 2013. Over the course of his career at the Universities of Michigan and Virginia\, Wilkin was an early leader in the development of digital libraries\, focusing on combining large-scale discovery with preservation strategies. He collaborated in creating the first legal agreement for the Google Books project. His focus on copyright and preservation played a pivotal role in HathiTrust’s Fair Use strategy\, which was successfully defended in court and underpins HathiTrust today.

In some languages like English and Spanish\, sentences with two expressions specifying quantity\, or quantifiers (for instance\, ‘every’\, ‘some’\, and ‘a’)\, are syntactically ambiguous\, meaning their structure permits two possible interpretations (see example 1). Although the construction is ambiguous\, research suggests that speakers of these languages tend to prefer one interpretation that is more instinctive. Furthermore\, some studies suggest that bilinguals may have a different intuitions of the sentence interpretation for each of their languages (Lee\, 2009\; Scontras et al.\, 2017). Importantly\, language dominance\, language proficiency and order of acquisition have been suggested as possible predictors of whether bilinguals do have a divergence between their two languages.\n\n(1) A person bought every book\n\nInterpretation 1: Say there are 10 books and all were bought by a single person\n\n Interpretation 2: Say there are 10 books and each was bought by a different person\n\nTo date\, research has not investigated how Spanish/English bilinguals interpret syntactically ambiguous sentences of quantifier scope. The current study therefore advances this research and also asks whether Spanish/English bilinguals show divergence in the two languages. Furthermore\, this work attempts to determine whether a given factor (language proficiency\, order of acquisition\, etc) better predicts divergence in the two languages\, if divergence arises. To answer these questions\, an experimental study is being conducted with 60 Mexican-Spanish/English heritage bilinguals. Participants complete three tasks: Judging whether a sentence is true or false to determine how instinctive the two possible interpretations are\, (2) a proficiency test in both languages\, and (3) a language background questionnaire to collect linguistic information of the participants. Pending complete data collection\, t-test and correlation analyses will be used to examine the results.

During his first years of adolescence\, Muzamil grows up like other children\, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19\, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.\n\nFilm Facts & Background:\nSince few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956\, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

Survivors Saving Survivors: Photographing the Ukrainian Refugee Experience in Poland DESCRIPTION:In April and June 2022\, at the invitation of JCC Krakow\, Chuck Fishman traveled to Poland to document the JCC and the Jewish community’s commitment to helping Ukrainian refugees fleeing their war-torn country. What he witnessed and captured in a series of gripping photographs is *tikkun olam*\, a central concept in Judaism that denotes activities that repair and improve the world we live in. The exhibit shifts the lens away from the horror the refugees have endured to focus instead on human goodness and how it can overcome lingering evil.\n\nIn his 45-year career\, freelance photographer Chuck Fishman has focused on social and political issues with a strong humanistic concern. His work on Jewish life in Poland\, begun in 1975\, continues to the present day. Fishman’s work has been extensively published\, exhibited\, and collected worldwide\, and has earned him prestigious World Press Photo Foundation medals four times. His photographs have appeared on the covers of *Time*\, *Life*\, *Fortune*\, *Newsweek*\, *The London Sunday Times*\, *The Economist*\, and numerous others. Fishman’s work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery\, the United Nations POLIN: The Museum of the History of Polish Jews\, and the Stanford University and New York Public Libraries\, to name a few\, as well as private and corporate collections.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race\, spirituality\, history\, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter\, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown\, which is evident in his work. \n\nMorris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age\, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However\, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother\, Dell Pryor\, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades\, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans\, Hugh Grannum\, Lester Sloan\, Al Loving\, Gilda Snowden\, Shirley Woodson\, Anthony Barboza\, and Eric Pryor among others. \n\nIn 2008\, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit)\, a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society. \n\nIn 2019\, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage\, photo montage\, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works\, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

Moreover\, it has since been argued that the asymptotic covariance of the method is best possible among any estimation procedure in a local minimax sense of H´ajek and Le Cam. A long-standing open question in this line of work is whether similar guarantees hold for important non-smooth problems\, such as stochastic nonlinear programming or stochastic variational inequalities. In this work\, we show that this is indeed the case. This is joint work with Damek Davis and Liwei Jiang.
