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.

For a sufficiently nice manifold X\, Church--Ellenberg--Farb proved that the k-th homology of the ordered configuration space of n points in X stabilizes in a representation theoretic sense as n increases. Miller--Wilson extended this first-order representation stability to more general X\, and they proved that there is a second-order representation stability pattern among the unstable homology classes. \n\nThe homology of the ordered configuration space of open unit-diameter disks in the infinite strip of width w has an algebraic structure\, that of a twisted algebra\, and we find a finite presentation for homology as such. We use this presentation to show that the ordered configuration space of open unit-diameter disks in the infinite strip of width w exhibits notions of first- through w/2-th-order representation stability\, recovering several classical results for configurations of points in the plane in the process. In the case of the infinite strip of width 2\, we use first-order representation stability to decompose homology as a direct sum of induced symmetric group representations. Additionally\, we show that second-order representation stability for configurations of points in a manifold can be much more complex than first-order representation stability.\n\nHYBRID Defense: 2058 East Hall\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98747130770?pwd=Tlk3aW00SklSMXJIOU0rRjk3RVlVdz09 UID:105705-21812817@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105705 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 2058 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230308T121809 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230310T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230310T112000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Energy Transitions in Regulated Markets DESCRIPTION:Electricity generation is a critically important component of the economy and modern life. However\, it also generates substantial negative externalities. In particular\, electricity generation in the U.S. contributed 31% of U.S. CO2 emissions in 2019 (Energy Information Agency\, 2020). Beyond its climate change impacts\, electricity generation also emits substan- tial local pollutants that harm human health\, with damages for the U.S. estimated at $57.3 billion in 2017 (Holland et al.\, 2020). \n\nAt the same time that research has highlighted the importance of the damages from emissions\, we are in the middle of two major transitions in electricity generation. First\, over the past two decades\, the cost of generating electricity with natural gas has plummeted. This was caused by the pairing of combined cycle generation technology with hydraulic fracturing\, which has resulted in gas plants becoming more efficient at the same time that natural gas fuel prices have fallen. Second\, the costs of large-scale solar panels and batteries have both dropped over 80% since 2010 (International Renewable Energy Agency\, 2020\; Cole and Frazier\, 2019\; Goldie-Scot\, 2019). Given these cost declines and the substantially lower pollution externalities from renewables\, a transition to renewable energy appears imminent. \n\nThese transitions are occurring in a highly regulated environment. Electric utilities’ investment and pricing decisions have historically been regulated as natural monopolies. The 1990s saw extensive electricity deregulation in the U.S. and Europe. In the U.S.\, this deregulatory push ended with the California electricity crisis of the early 2000s\, leaving a patchwork system where different states have substantially different levels of regulatory control. \n\nIn its simplest form\, regulation of utilities’ pricing and investment sets electricity prices such that firms earn a “fair” rate-of-return on their capital. The canonical model of rate- of-return regulation\, Averch and Johnson (1962) (AJ)\, shows that utilities will respond to this type of regulation by over-investing in capital\, suggesting that regulated utilities may have an incentive to over-invest in capacity in these new technologies. However\, AJ cannot directly be applied to electricity generation since many of their fundamental assumptions (e.g. elastic demand) do not fit this sector. Moreover\, anecdotal evidence suggests that regulated utilities transition more slowly than others: the restructured states of Texas and California lead the U.S. in renewable energy production by a substantial margin (U.S. Energy Information Agency\, 2020)\, and nuclear power plants in states undergoing restructuring disproportionately closed (Davis and Wolfram\, 2012). \n\nIn this paper we investigate whether the regulatory structure has impeded energy tran- sitions to new technologies and whether it incentivizes utilities to use the existing capital stock inefficiently. To do this\, we will develop and estimate a model of regulation with plant investment and exit over the long-run and electricity generation and import decisions in the short-run. Our model builds on the AJ framework in a way that allows us to model the electricity industry. The ultimate goal of this paper is to evaluate how potential regulatory structures could impact the transition to renewable energy. \n\nIn the twenty-first century\, the fuel used to generate the majority of electricity in the 1 U.S. has transitioned from coal to natural gas. This has led to a 28% reduction in CO2 emissions between 2005 and 2018 and lower local air pollution (U.S. Energy Information Administration\, 2018). Two major technological innovations facilitated the evolution toward natural gas. First\, combined cycle natural gas generation technology dramatically increased the efficiency with which generators could turn natural gas into electricity. Second\, hydraulic fracturing (fracking) has drastically increased the quantity of economically accessible natural gas reserves in the U.S.\, thereby lowering natural gas prices. \n\nWith the recent declines in solar and battery technology prices\, we are on the cusp of an- other energy transition. These transitions are occurring in a partially regulated environment\, with investment and pricing requiring state Public Utility Commission (PUC) approval in some states but not in others. Even in restructured markets—which have undergone some deregulation—while investment into and exit out of generation are deregulated\, decisions on the transmission and distribution of electricity and final consumer prices often still require PUC approval. This makes understanding the policies that facilitated (or hindered) the transition from coal to natural gas paramount. \n\nThis paper seeks to understand how the regulatory structure affects energy transitions. In particular\, we ask two key questions. First\, how does regulation affect the rate at which electricity generation transitions to new technologies? Second\, given the existing generation capacity at any point in time\, how does regulation affect the use of different generators? To answer these questions\, we develop and estimate a model of utility investment and usage under regulation. Our model has both long-run investment and exit and short-run operations components. In the long-run\, the regulated utility decides on the amount of coal generation to retire and of natural gas generation to adopt. Within each year\, however\, the utility makes generation decisions given its investment decisions and exogenous fuel prices. We seek to understand how different regulatory structures would affect energy transitions—both from coal to natural gas generation and\, looking forward\, to renewable electricity generation. \n\nTo understand the current regulatory structure\, we adapt the canonical model of regula- tion (Averch and Johnson\, 1962\, AJ). In the AJ model\, the regulated utility is constrained to a maximum return on capital but can price as a monopolist given this constraint. This model is limited in the context of electricity\, because electricity demand is highly inelastic implying that the AJ prices are infinite under many functional forms. Thus\, our goal is to develop and estimate an updated model of electricity regulation that incorporates key specifics of this sector and that generates predictions that are in line with the observed data. To do this\, we start with a model where\, each period\, regulators deem a set of capital owned by the utility to be effective\, representing the “used and useful” standards that state PUCs typically employ. The regulator then reimburses the utility for marginal costs and allows it to earn a rate-of-return on its effective capital. This rate-of-return decreases in consumer electricity rates in order to incentivize the utility to lower costs. The utility chooses its generation and investment decisions to maximize profits in this regulatory environment. \n\nOur model of regulation innovates relative to AJ in three dimensions. First\, unlike AJ\, the rate-of-return that the utility can earn is declining in the final consumer price of electric- ity. This both recognizes political economy constraints (Wilson\, 2019\; Hausman\, 2019) and prevents the utility from charging arbitrarily high prices\, which it could feasibly do under 2 AJ’s rate-of-return formulation by investing in an immense capital stock. Second\, in order to model the used and useful standard\, we assume that if the utility does not operate the plant sufficiently\, it will not receive the rate-of-return on the entire plant capital. This allows for regulation to potentially distort short-run operation decisions in addition to investment decisions\, in particular leading to the overuse of old\, inefficient generators (Daniel et al.\, 2020). Third\, we adapt AJ to a dynamic setting in order to understand the role of regulation in the adoption of new technologies and in the retirement of existing capital.

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:105623-21812453@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105623 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:27th Annual Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Detroit Historical Museum CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230120T105831 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230310T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230310T110000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:La Tertulia DESCRIPTION:All Students & Levels Welcome! \n\nJoin us every Friday through April 14\, 2023!\n\n* Enjoy free coffee & snacks\n* Improve & practice your Spanish\n* Meet other students & instructors\n* Get advice on courses\n* Discuss study abroad UID:103043-21805765@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/103043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Language,Languages,Romance Languages And Literatures,Spanish Studies LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - 4th Floor Commons CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230224T105941 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230310T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230310T110000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:New Opportunities from Bold Challenges: Programs\, Funding Opportunities\, and Better Ways to Meet Collaborators DESCRIPTION:Learn more about the opportunities offered by the University of Michigan Bold Challenges Initiative for researchers to meet collaborators\, build great teams and develop competitive proposals for external funding.

However\, his familial connections also informed his development.

The ruggedness of its terrain belies its prosperity\, and\, during the regionally destructive transition from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages\, Kalymnians distinguish themselves from their neighbors by the construction of fortifications\, in contrast to other islanders’ flight and dispersal. Reporting on a preliminary season of site visits and GIS recording\, I place Kalymnos within the context of debates on settlement\, conflict\, and economy in the tumultuous seventh century A.D. From recalibrations of previous GIS calculations to the ‘discovery’ of entirely undocumented ancient settlements\, this presentation represents the transition from unwilling armchair archaeology to the long-awaited field-testing of myriad half-blind hypotheses against the truth of the ground\, and the knowledge of local experts.

To date\, leader inclusivity has been conceptualized as a relational approach that builds an equally shared sense of group membership among employees while fostering an appreciation for the unique value of each individual. Yet\, broader systems\, norms\, and practices in organizations can also elicit exclusion. Through an inductive investigation of leader inclusivity\, in a sample of 47 minority-identified employees in STEM organizations\, we find that leader inclusivity was perceived as centering on leaders’ actions to combat inequitable systems\, norms\, and practices. Further\, because these equity-oriented actions were thought to be controversial in nature\, we find that such actions provoked adversarial responses from employees who are invested in the status quo. In turn\, we reveal that leaders must also manage these responses effectively\, in order for inclusivity to be sustained. Taken together\, and departing significantly from current conceptualizations of leader inclusivity\, we find that minority employees view leader inclusivity as a set of pathways which are each set in motion via leaders’ actions to combat inequity. Our results inform a more processual\, systemic\, equity-based approach to studying and practicing leader inclusivity.

The country was operating through fire and blood! The judicial system was destroyed – judges and lawyers had been killed or exiled in neighboring countries. To judge the genocidaires\, the government decided to reintroduce the Traditional Jurisdictions Courts called Gacaca. This talk will emphasize what Gacaca did as a court and how it worked during the trials\; the digitization process of the 45 million pages of Gacaca files\; and the impact of the Gacaca files on society after the digitization.\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.

She will be introduced by Ph.D. candidate Lauren Beck\, one of Frenk's translators\, who organized this event and will lead the discussion. \n\nAt the age six\, Kira\, the protagonist of ewig her und gar nicht wahr\, had migrated from Moldova to Germany with her Jewish Russian family. Now in her thirties\, Kira lives in Berlin\, and yet she does not seem to have truly arrived in Germany or even the present. Violent hallucinations interrupt her otherwise secure life as a mother and teacher. In fragmented scenes of personal and family memory\, Kira contextualizes her failing grasp on reality through a tangled web of family traumas and their historical contexts.\n\nFrenk’s autofictional novel asks: what remains of identity after multiple generations of uprootedness? How does one engage with an unknown generational trauma? Is it possible to live outside of national or even familial systems?\n\nIn addition to writing\, Frenk performs as a musician and actress at the Gorki Theater in Berlin\, and she will share some of her musical work as well. \n\nThe event organizers invite attendees to participate in English and in German. The readings will be held in German.

Preparing text\, audio\, and video data for analysis and running those analyses involves linking contemporary computational tools with datasets and major research challenges in ways that cut across disciplines. Building bridges between data scientists who develop the tools to analyze these data and social scientists who have datasets to address research questions in unprecedented ways that could benefit from them is critical for both opening the world of these new data and refining the tools for analysis.\n \nThe Social Research with Unstructured Data: Connection Series\, jointly sponsored by MIDAS\, the AI Lab and ISR\, is designed to build connections between social scientists and data scientists to improve scholarship in both arenas. Scholars in both groups present research vision and cutting-edge methodology that could benefit from additional interdisciplinary collaboration and theorizing. The series connects faculty\, research scientists\, postdoctoral\, and graduate students to help build major research projects from their vision\, find the right methods for their data\, identify collaborators\, or find scholars who can help trial run the tools they have developed. \n \nEvents will be held from 2:00-3:30 PM in ISR 6050 (426 Thompson Street)\, with meetings in January\, February\, March\, April\, and May.

This presentation will summarize new developments to create resilient and sustainable cities through research on the built environment across several themes. Research on resilience highlights the development of structural systems that are able to be returned to use quickly after extreme events. Sustainable engineering\, in turn\, highlights research on strategies for developing new structural systems that greatly decrease the amount of energy\, material waste\, pollution\, and greenhouse gas emissions in construction and use of buildings and other structures. Urban engineering summarizes approaches for conducting regional simulations to predict the impacts and opportunities across urban regions that are designed with more sustainable and resilient civil engineering solutions. By directly addressing resilience and sustainability in structural design and regional assessment\, this work offers insights into how engineering innovations can be used to create a new generation of solutions for urban regions. \n\nA panel discussion will follow the lecture. Our distinguished panelists include: Lawrence F. Kruth\, Kruth Engineering\, LLC\, Former Vice President of Engineering & Research at AISC\; Jason McCormick\, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, University of Michigan\; and Tabitha Stine\, General Manager of Construction Solutions Services at Nucor Corporation.

This is exemplified by the prominent bend in the Hawaiian–Emperor seamount change which seems to indicate that the Pacific Plate abruptly changed its direction from mostly motion to the north to the west. The Izu-Bonin-Mariana (IBM) and the Tonga-Kermadec subduction zones formed at the same time and investigators have long empirically linked IBM formation and Pacific Plate motion with the initiation of this vast subduction system pulling the Pacific to the west. I shed new light on this topic by describing results from ocean drilling in the IBM system and the southwest Pacific within the context of a new generation of global geodynamic models which realistically treats the mechanics of subduction and plate tectonics. Both an abrupt Pacific Plate motion change and a change in mantle plume dynamics have been proposed to account for the Hawaiian–Emperor Bend\, but debates surround the relative contribution of the two mechanisms. I’ll describe plate reconstructions and high-resolution global dynamic models that quantify the amount of Pacific Plate motion change. The models show that ridge demise as well as Izu–Bonin–Mariana subduction initiation are incapable of causing a sudden change in plate motion\, challenging the conventional hypothesis on the mechanisms of Pacific Plate motion change. Instead\, Palaeocene intraoceanic subduction in the northern Pacific (long known from the geology of Kamchatka) exerts a northward pull on the Pacific Plate\, while its Eocene demise leads to a sudden 30–35° change in plate motion\, accounting for about half of the Hawaiian–Emperor Bend. I suggest the Pacific Plate motion change and hotspot drift due to plume dynamics could have contributed nearly equally to the formation of the Hawaiian Emperor Bend. Such a scenario is consistent with available constraints from global plate circuits\, palaeomagnetic data and geodynamic models.

In the Aftermath of the Divine Winds: Religious Responses to the Mongol Threat and the Medieval Reimagining of Japan DESCRIPTION:Twice in the late thirteenth century\, the Mongol empire launched attack fleets against Japan. On both occasions\, they were repelled by fortuitous storms. Scholarly accounts of the Mongol threat have focused on Japan’s military defense. However\, massive efforts were also poured into ritual countermeasures: Sacred texts were copied and recited\, buddha images commissioned\, and enemy-subduing rites performed. The failure of the invasion attempts was attributed to the intervention of Japan’s local deities (kami) and catalyzed a conceptual inversion of Japan’s cosmological status\, from “a marginal land in the last age” to a timeless\, inviolable realm at the very center of the Buddhist world.\n\nBio: Jacqueline Stone is professor emerita of Japanese Religions in the Religion Department of Princeton University. She focuses on Japanese Buddhism of the medieval and modern periods. Her current research interests include traditions of the Lotus Sutra\, particularly the Tendai and Nichiren sects\; Buddhism and Japanese identity formation\; and modern reinterpretations of Buddhist thought and practice. She is the author of Original Enlightenment and the Transformation of Medieval Japanese Buddhism (1999) and Right Thoughts at the Last Moment: Buddhism and Deathbed Practices in Early Medieval Japan (2016).

Those closed-form models allowed our understanding of the physical world to advance for the past centuries. However\, accurately deriving computationally efficient\, and explainable models for systems like the financial market\, the climate or an epidemic disease remains a challenging problem. This indicates the need for a different approach to construct mathematical models that circumvent explicit analytical formulation.\n\nIn my talk\, I will discuss\, how the construction of models directly from observations/data is possible for stochastic differential equations. I will portray that deep learning architectures based on numerical stochastic integrators\, such as the Euler-Maruyama\, can be used to learn/identify data-driven stochastic differential equations directly from data [1]. I will illustrate how identified effective stochastic differential equations can be constructed in physical-interpretable coarse variables when they are available\, but also on latent data-driven observables using the manifold learning scheme Diffusion Maps [2]. I will provide examples to illustrate this approach for (a) electric-field mediated colloidal crystallization using data obtained from Brownian Dynamics Simulations [3\,4] (b) a Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible adaptive network [5] and (c) an event-driven agent-based financial model [6\,7].\n\nReferences: \n[1] Dietrich\, F.\, Makeev\, A.\, Kevrekidis\, G.\, Evangelou\, N.\, Bertalan\, T.\, Reich\, S.\, & Kevrekidis\, I.

Manto’s work troubles the distinction between progressivism and modernism\, and points to the formal experimentation that pervaded mid twentieth-century Urdu writing. In this talk\, I focus on what I identify as Manto’s prose poems in Siyah Hashiye\, which may be the most powerful and unsettling work of fiction on the Partition. Manto blends aspects of ghazal poetry with attention to print layout to produce an experience of the now that rejects the lyrical while also invoking it. By placing Manto within the context of contemporary modernist poets N.M. Rashed and Miraji\, this talk shows how Siyah Hashiye responded to experiments with free verse and ideas of modern poetry to create a kind of anti-poetry. As such\, the talk outlines the importance of poetic experimentation for postcolonial South Asian literatures and exposes how Partition occasioned formal as well as thematic breaks.\n \nJennifer Dubrow is Associate Professor of Urdu at the University of Washington\, Seattle. She is the author of Cosmopolitan Dreams: The Making of Modern Urdu Literary Culture in Colonial South Asia (University of Hawai’i Press\, 2018\; Permanent Black\, 2019)\, as well as several articles on modern Urdu prose fiction. She is writing a book\, currently titled Partitioned Forms\, on Progressivism\, modernism\, and formal experimentation in Urdu fiction from the 1930s to the 1960s.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Fruit of the Poisonous Tree: The Marcos Diaries DESCRIPTION:In his haste to evacuate the Malacañang Presidential Palace in February 1986\, former Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos left many handwritten diaries covering the years 1969-1984. While the originals are in the custody of the Presidential Commission on Good Government\, unofficial copies have been circulating for years.\n\nPreparing the diaries of publication entailed collating\, validating\, and annotating entries from different sources\, contemporary newspapers\, the *Official Gazette*\, and declassified U.S. State Department records. The project is not just an exercise in documentary editing but being critical of Marcos’ self-referential and biased view of events. In light of the current rewriting of the first Marcos presidency\, these documents are double-edged\, the fruit of the poisonous tree.\n\nAmbeth R.

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?

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:105623-21812454@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105623 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:27th Annual Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Detroit Historical Museum CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230220T092931 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230311T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230311T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Family Friendly Saturday Morning Physics | Physics Goes BOOM: Energy in Action!

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?

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:105623-21812455@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105623 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:27th Annual Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Detroit Historical Museum CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220818T100608 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230312T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230312T120000 SUMMARY:Ceremony / Service:Sunday Celebration DESCRIPTION:The school year is about to begin!

They will be joined by Queenae Taylor Mulvihill and two of the Maasai personalities featured in the film: Evalyne Mkulati Leng’arwa and Eliah Parpulis Madukuli.\n\n\nABOUT THE FILM:\n\"Maasai Remix\" follows three Maasai individuals who—in the United Nations\, a Tanzanian village\, an American university—confront challenges and bring hope to their community by drawing strength from local traditions\, modifying them when necessary\, and melding them with new resources. Adam Ole Mwarabu advocates for Maasai pastoralists rights to land in international political spheres. Evalyne Mkulati pursues a college education in the USA\, having convinced her father to return 12 cows to a man contracted to marry her. Frank Ole Kaipai\, the village chairman\, faces opposition as he promotes secondary school education and tries to save the village forest. Sharing a goal of Maasai self-determination in an ever-changing world\, Adam\, Evalyne and Frank innovate while maintaining an abiding respect and love for their culture.\n\nABOUT THE DIRECTORS:\nThe award-winning team of filmmaker Ron Mulvihill and anthropologist Kelly Askew has produced several films on Tanzania\, exploring topics from Zanzibar orchestral music to contemporary Maasai lifeways: \"Poetry in Motion: 100 Years of Zanzibar’s Nadi Ikhwan Safaa\" (Buda Musique\, 2012)\; and \"Orkiteng Loorbaak: Rite of Elders\" (2017).\n\nRon Mulvihill’s feature film \"Maangamizi: The Ancient One\" won the 2004 Paul Robeson Award for Best Feature Film and was Tanzania’s official selection at the 74th Academy Awards. His film \"The Marriage of Mariamu\" won Best Short Film\, the OAU Award\, and the Journalists and Critics Award at FESPACO\, Africa’s leading film festival (1985).\n\nKelly Askew\, an anthropologist with over 30 years of experience in Tanzania and Kenya and chair of the U-M Department of Anthropology\, has worked on several documentary films\, including \"The Chairman and the Lions\" (Documentary Educational Resources\, 2012)\, and a Hollywood feature\, \"The Ghost and the Darkness\" (Paramount Pictures\, 1996).

Love is an art\,\" sings Vanessa Carlton on the title track of her new \"Love Is an Art.\" Like the recording itself\, the song is a meditation on the eternal seesaw that is human connection: the push\, the pull\, the balance\, the bottoming out. It's that constantly evolving nature of love Vanessa explores\, from romantic\, to parental\, to the friends that hold us up and the leaders that repeatedly let us down. And on tracks like the album's opener\, \"I Can't Stay the Same\,\" that also includes the relationship with the person staring back at us in the mirror\, each and every morning.

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.

On display is material drawn from the University of Michigan collections dealing with the history of early astronomy: manuscripts\, early printed books\, and artifacts illustrating Mesopotamian\, Greek\, Islamic\, and Western European astronomy.\n\nThis exhibit and its permanent online counterpart (https://umlib.us/earlyastronomy) are part of the Aratus Project\, which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and led by Prof. Francesca Schironi. The core of the project has been to study Aratus’ \"Phaenomena\,\" the most important poem on stars and constellations of the Graeco-Roman ancient world\, and its exegetical tradition. Read an annotated edition and English translation of \"Phaenomena\" and its commentaries (https://aratus.classics.lsa.umich.edu/).

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.

Deeply rooted in community\, she cultivates and reaffirms the human connections that ultimately sustain us. Her recent work explores the emergent themes of belonging as seen through the histories of student rebellions in Chicago public schools between 1968 and 1980.\n\nHer site-specific installation *With Care*\, created for the Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, presents the documentary photographs of influential Mexican-born artist\, teacher\, and friend Diana Solís in visual dialogue with Marroquin’s own creative work which includes ceramic sculptures and printmaking. Solís’s photography reflects over 25 years of transnational Chicana and lesbian organizing primarily in Chicago and Mexico City between 1975 and 1990. \n\nAbout the Artist\nNicole Marroquin is an interdisciplinary artist\, researcher\, and teacher educator whose work explores spatial justice and Latinx history. Marroquin works with youth and communities to decenter dominant narratives and to address displacement and erasure. Her current work explores belonging through histories of student rebellions in Chicago Public Schools from 1968 to 1980. Through research and creative practice\, she aims to recover and re-present histories of Black and brown youth and women’s leadership in the struggle for justice in Chicago. \n\nMarroquin has presented her work at the Kochi Biennale\, the Annual Conference of the American Association of Research Librarians\, University of Maine\, New York Archivist Round Table\, Jane Addams Hull House Museum\, Northwestern University\, DePaul Museum of Art\, on WLPN Lumpen Radio\, Gallery 400\, Hyde Park Art Center and more.

The word sends shivers up the spine of even the most experienced scholars. Assessment is one of the most challenging\, fraught\, and effective endeavors that we deal with as public scholars\, community engagement professionals\, and change agents. But does assessment have to be so stressful? So inauthentic? Devoid of values? The quick answer: no!\nAssessment can be so much more than ticking boxes\, taking surveys\, and statistics. It can be dynamic\, engaging\, authentic\, and reaffirming. In this workshop\, we will help participants reimagine their relationship with assessment and develop ways of centering an equity-based\, inclusive\, democratic assessment process in their work. These workshops will guide participants through a series of activities to reimagine their assessment work using the framework of democratically-engaged assessment (DEA) as a lens. Following a conceptual introduction and initial engagement with the framework\, participants will examine their assessment practices and develop an action plan for their own work in a specific arena. Reflective exercises and collaborative activities will help participants surface their assumptions about the role of values in assessment\, the values they enact through their assessment\, tension points that arise across phases of assessment\, and opportunities to negotiate tensions through the lens of DEA. In keeping with the tenets of the framework\, participants will not only enhance their own work\, but also will contribute to the ongoing and co-creative development of the DEA framework itself.\n\nPart 1: Reimagining Assessment for Public Scholarship\nIntention: This workshop will cover the basics of assessment\, bust some myths\, introduce some framings and tools\, and explore examples of the spectrum of assessment.\n\nBios:\nJulia Metzker serves as director of the Washington Center for Improving Undergraduate Education at the Evergreen State College.

Moduli spaces that parametrize such structures are called strata\, and there is still much to discover of their global topology. These strata admit a decomposition into finitely many polytopal regions parametrized by certain triangulations of translation surfaces (L-infinity Delaunay triangulations). These regions intersect each other in pathological ways (the \"infinite adjacency phenomenon\")\, but we resolve these pathologies to obtain finite simplicial models for strata. Our methods also show that there is an induced polytopal decomposition on subvarieties of strata called Teichmüller curves.\n\nHYBRID Defense: \nIn person: 2058 East Hall Psych Conference Room\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95915733517?pwd=NjZ1NVB4WnYwMjBrazA1NnB5TFNsQT09 UID:105783-21812941@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105783 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 2058 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230120T101815 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230313T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230313T140000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Family Secrets: Uncovering Identity in 19th-Century America DESCRIPTION:This student-curated exhibit focuses on the theme of secrecy and how it has shaped our inquiry into how the family\, as an institution and an ideal at the heart of debates about American identity and national belonging\, has changed over time.\n\nThe materials gathered here represented various ways in which cultural concepts of family evolved in both public and private ways. \n\nPlease enter through the North Entrance (glass vestibule) that faces the Hatcher Graduate Library.\n\nCurated by: Grace Argo and the Students of History 195\, Fall 2022\, with Maggie Vanderfold and Julie Fremuth at the Clements Library.

Her doctoral work was performed at Harvard in the laboratory of Jack Szostak where she studied RNA enzymes and developed methodologies for evolving RNAs in vitro. She came to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1998 following post-doctoral work in Harry Noller’s lab at University of California Santa Cruz where she began her work on ribosomes. Her laboratory is interested in deciphering the molecular mechanisms that are at the heart of protein synthesis and its regulation across biology. Most recently\, her work has focused on ribosome-mediated quality control systems that are triggered on difficult-to-translate mRNA sequences deriving from genetic or environmental insults. She has found that such translational distress leads not only to mRNA-specific QC events\, but also to the activation of cell-wide signaling and transcriptional responses\, mediated by factors that specifically bind to colliding ribosomes. Her laboratory uses both biochemical\, genetic\, proteomic and genomic approaches to get at these questions in bacterial and eukaryotic systems.\n\nShe is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of molecular biology and genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a HHMI Investigator.\n\nLecture is made possible by a gift from her family in memory of Priscilla Connell\, a renowned nature photography.\n\nHost: Morgan DeSantis UID:104914-21810438@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/104914 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Lecture,Natural Sciences,Research LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Amphitheatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230220T181533 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230313T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230313T161500 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Ph.D. Connections Career Conference Career Panel: Consulting DESCRIPTION:Panelists will share insights about the business challenges they take on in their consulting roles.

Based on the simultaneous measurement of scintillating (S) and Cherenkov (C) light\, the dual-readout calorimetric technique is one of the solutions proposed for overcoming this problem and compensating for it\, on an event-by-event basis. In this talk\, we will quickly review the work done so far on dual-readout calorimeters and show their impressive potential\, in particular when coupled with a highly granular readout system. On top of that\, time measurements may complement the 2D imaging capabilities of a fibre-sampling calorimeter and provide information on the shower longitudinal profile. Finally\, an electromagnetic dual-readout crystal section will open the door for measurements of electromagnetic showers with top-of-the-art energy resolution\, without harming the hadronic performance. The development plans and the expected performance will be described in the context of the IDEA proto-experiment proposed for future circular electroweak factories (FCC-ee and CEPC).
