Politics of Identity\, Inclusion\, and Belonging DESCRIPTION:The concept of belonging is being included and\, in some instances replacing Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion to name work that seeks to support all groups in having more equitable experiences and outcomes\, especially those who are most marginalized. Focusing on belonging is important in understanding the lived experiences of communities with shared identities and values and allows for the development of inclusive supports and activities that meet the needs of diverse communities. Leading with inclusive practices can produce a greater sense of belonging and contribute to more equitable outcomes across many indicators\, including education\, work\, etc. \n\nOver the past few years\, the targeted campaign against DEI has shown how both public sentiment and political power affect individual and community experiences. This effect is evident in the legislation proposed and enacted across multiple states to ban DEI practices and principles and the chilling effect that such legislation has had on institutions. More broadly\, the discourse of belonging is present in the ways societies discuss immigration\, nationality\, identity\, political affiliation\, etc. \n\n(Sense of) belonging is affective in nature\, as it resides in the individual's experiences relative to both their own respective identities and myriad external factors\, and it is therefore difficult to effectively measure. Inclusion seeks to be responsive to the perceived needs of individuals and groups by employing research-informed and community-guided practices and principles that foster a sense of belonging. How belonging is constructed by individuals and by institutions\, higher education and otherwise\, is a crucial part of this equation. That is to say\, how are the identities most salient to individuals and communities constructed\, and how do institutions effectively determine which groups should or should not be included\, through language and action–or\, to put it more simply\, who determines who belongs?\n\nIn this panel\, scholars will discuss the concept of belonging and how socio-political factors shape identity and values and receptiveness/acceptance\, and ultimately how the structural nature of the construction of belonging impacts the experiences of belonging at the community and individual level.\n\n\nMODERATOR\n\nWilliam D.

Based on the measure rigidity work by Aaron Brown and Federico Rodriguez Hertz\, we know that a stationary measure has SRB property unless there is a certain obstruction. Here\, SRB property implies that\, morally\, the measure is 'absolutely continuous' along 1 dimensional piece.\nIn this talk\, we consider about a different mechanism to get ‘measure rigidity’ which promote SRB to absolute continuity using ‘transversality' motivated by Tsujii’s works on partially hyperbolic endomorphisms and Bernoulli convolution.\nThe talk is based on a joint work in progress with Aaron Brown\, Davi Obata\, and Yuping Ruan.

In the noise-free setting\, it is well known that only two minimax error rates are possible: constant or scaling linearly with the time horizon T. In this talk\, we show that slight modifications to the standard online classification game can result in very different minimax rates. In particular\, we present two natural modifications to the standard online learning setup which result in a trichotomy of minimax rates. That is\, in these settings\, the minimax error rates scale only like one of three different functions of the time horizon T.

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college\, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota\, where no skyscrapers exist\, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit\, Glazer began his griot series\, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks\, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit\, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’....

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

It relies on intense classical (coherent-state) laser light with large photon numbers\, while quantum optics usually operates with low photon numbers and non-classical quantum states. In my talk\, I will present two works that bridge between attosecond physics and quantum optics. In the first work\, we successfully replace the classical (coherent-state) laser pulses by intense non-classical light – bright squeezed vacuum (BSV) – to drive HHG in solids. We show how the BSV’s extremely noisy photon statistics is transferred to its harmonics\, leading to a strong enhancement of the harmonic yield and enabling studies of electron-hole dynamics at extreme intensities. In a second work\, we measure the Wigner function of a harmonic driven by classical (coherent-state) light in the non-perturbative regime\, showing that the quantum state of the harmonic is not trivial. Our work bears the prospect of extending the frontier of quantum optics and non-classical light into the extreme-ultraviolet spectral regime.\n\n \n\nBio: \nDr. Michael Krueger joined the Technion as an assistant professor of Physics in 2019. He received his Ph.D. from the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich\, Germany\, in 2013. From 2014 to 2019\, he performed postdoc research at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot\, Israel. In his research\, Michael studies ultrafast quantum phenomena on the nanoscale. His main scientific achievements resulting from his Ph.D. have laid the foundation for the integration of attosecond science and nanoscience. This advancement could lead to novel microscopy approaches with extreme time resolution. For his Ph.D. work\, Michael received the Otto Hahn Medal of the Max Planck Society in 2015. For his research at Technion\, he has been awarded with a Starting Grant of the European Research Council.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

The gold standard for computing these energies is the coupled-cluster method with singles\, doubles\, and perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) converged to the complete basis set (CBS) limit\, which normally requires performing CCSD(T) in a basis set of at least triple-zeta quality. When a triple-zeta CCSD(T) calculation is not feasible but a double-zeta one is\, it is worthwhile to look for a silver standard that provides the most accurate and consistent approximation to the gold standard at a reduced computational cost. Unfortunately\, every supermolecular standard gives a single number that says nothing about the nature of interaction. A successful alternative is provided by symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT)\, where the interaction energy is computed as a sum of physically distinct electrostatic\, exchange\, induction\, and dispersion contributions. The recent studies from our group aim at (1) increasing the capabilities of SAPT\, targeting spin splittings\, basis set convergence\, and intramolecular interactions\, (2) establishing the best strategies for computing silver-standard CCSD(T)/CBS estimates through explicit correlation and midbond functions\, and (3) applying accurate supermolecular and SAPT approaches to gain novel insights into the interaction in chemically important complexes.

Prior to\njoining Oxford\, Agni received a PhD in Operations Research from the Massachusetts\nInstitute of Technology. Her primary research interests lie at the intersection of optimization\nand machine learning with applications to healthcare and insurance. She has collaborated\nwith numerous institutions\, including a major medical society\, two international reinsurance\ncompanies\, and more than eight hospitals in the US and Europe.\n\n\nAbstract: Tackling hospital emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a paramount\nchallenge for healthcare systems. To combat this issue\, an innovative approach is to identify\npatients who can be served vertically (i.e.\, in a seated position) and route them to a dedicated\narea termed the Vertical Processing Pathway (VPP). Successfully implementing this design\nrequires a clear understanding of which patients should be routed to the VPP and when.\nCurrently\, the decision on how to leverage the VPP is conducted in an ad-hoc fashion. To\nassist our partner hospital and other EDs in capturing the value of the VPP\, we develop a\nmachine learning model that provides personalized risk scores predicting whether each\narriving patient will need an ED bed. We use the derived scores as input to a stochastic\npatient flow model and analytically characterize the optimal VPP policy that minimizes\nthe length of stay. Employing simulation analyses\, we identify the settings in which our proposed\nVPP design is preferable in terms of operational performance to traditional ED flow\napproaches\, such as “fast track” or “physician in triage.” Finally\, we derive an interpretable\nVPP patient streaming protocol and conduct a before-and-after experiment where we\nleverage empirical analyses to evaluate the impact of implementing it in practice. Our\nfindings demonstrate that our protocol is highly effective\, leading to significant reductions in\npatient length of stay without any adverse effect on quality of care measures. Our work\nresults in a VPP protocol that is generalizable to other EDs\, offering operational\nimprovements without requiring additional resources.

These vaccines were made possible by a herculean effort to overcome the most significant barriers that have hindered translational efforts. Arguably\, the largest challenge has been that RNA molecules do not readily enter their cellular targets within the body. This is because they are large (104 – 106 g/mol) and negatively charged\; they do not have favorable biodistribution properties nor an ability to cross the cell membrane of target cells. In response to these issues\, industrial and academic laboratories\, including my own\, have created lipid nanoparticles that spontaneously package RNA and deliver the RNA to key cellular targets in vivo. Here\, I will describe biodegradable\, ionizable lipid-like materials called ‘lipidoids’ that my lab has used to create RNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles that induce protein expression in a variety of tissues. This talk will describe how simple changes in nanoparticle chemistry and route of administration cause dramatic shifts in efficacy and tropism\, allowing the targeting of organs such as the pancreas and brain. Together\, these data advance our understanding of lipid nanoparticle chemistry and are expected to contribute to the successful formulation of next-generation mRNA therapies.\nBio:\nKathryn A.

A possible way to connect both realms is by studying the oldest stars in the Milky Way (i.e.\, the proto-Galaxy). Our ability to resolve individually millions of stars in the Galaxy provides us with the opportunity to decipher the intricate processes of galaxy formation in a detail that is unmatched by any other galaxy in the Cosmos. Therefore\, the time is ripe to study the oldest parts of the Milky Way\, and from them unravel its early mass assembly history. Such results\, in addition to placing strong constraints on how our Galaxy formed\, are also complementary to the new exciting results of the high-redshift Universe delivered by the JWST telescope. In this talk\, I will present new findings aiming to piece together the earliest stages of formation of the Milky Way by examining the chemistry\, kinematics\, and orbits of the oldest stars in the Galaxy. I will also show fresh results concerning the structure and mass of the Milky Way's proto-galactic fragments. I will then place these observational findings in the wider context of the many possible assembly histories by comparing with expectations from cosmological simulations. The findings I will present help answer (but raise more) fundamental questions on the genesis of our Galaxy.

Building on a rich history of staging modernist works—Gatz\, The Sound and the Fury\, The Select (The Sun Also Rises)—Elevator Repair Service (ERS) takes on this Mount Everest of twentieth-century literature.\n\nElevator Repair Service (ERS) is a New York City–based company that creates original works for live theater with an ongoing ensemble. The company’s shows are created from a wide range of texts that include found transcripts of trials and debates\, literature\, classical dramas\, and new plays. Founded in 1991\, ERS has created an extensive body of work that includes upwards of 20 original pieces. These have earned the company a loyal following and made it one of New York’s most highly acclaimed experimental theater companies. The company is best known for Gatz\, its award-winning verbatim staging of the entire text of The Great Gatsby. ERS has received numerous awards and distinctions\, including Lortel awards\, a Bessie award\, and an OBIE award for Sustained Excellence\, as well as a Guggengheim Fellowship and Doris Duke Performing Artist Award for Artistic Director John Collins.\n\nFor their Penny Stamps event\, Elevator Repair Service's John Collins and Scott Shepherd will discuss the founding of ERS\, the arc of its work\, the importance of literature as a cultural influence\, and their upcoming performance\, Ulysses\, which will be staged as part of the University Musical Society’s 2024-25 season.\n\nJohn Collins (Director) founded Elevator Repair Service in 1991. Since then he has directed or co-directed all of the company’s productions while also serving as the company’s Artistic Director.

She’s a wilderness guide for wanderers\, a galactic diplomat\, a dreamscape designer\, a heartache survivalist\, a pioneer. She speaks to the misfits\, the soul searchers\, the silent types longing to be cracked open. A vocal shapeshifter\, she delivers live shows that spark both playful giddiness and profound catharsis. But Yamagata is not here to heal you—she's here to show you how to heal yourself.\n \nEach record has marked a graduation for pivotal life moments. ‘Happenstance’ (2004) chronicled romantic heartaches. ‘Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart’ (2008) delved deeper into loss and broken promises\, ushering in the confidence of ‘Chesapeake’ (2011). Going DIY\, Yamagata found freedom\, mixing lighter love songs with deep dives into what threatens and ultimately strengthens us. ‘Tightrope Walker’ (2016) expanded into resilience\, empowerment\, and forgiveness.\n\nHer new record (yet to be titled) emerges from this lineage with a dare: sink or swim. Grounded by soul-stirring lyrics like “All of our best laid plans washed away like plastic in the sand” (\"Empty Houses\") it also winks at new dimensions\, suggesting worlds beyond our reach with “The galaxy members are waiting for us/ they learn from our failures and they’re sending us love” (“Galaxy”). This new record sees Yamagata as an emotional archivist\, chronicling loneliness and connection and urging us to see our breaking points as opportunities to build something new.

We need to make systemic change across many sectors–including the ways we plan\, develop\, design\, and construct our built environment\, which accounts for a high proportion of emissions. On October 17-18\, 2024\, the Taubman College of Architecture & Urban Planning at the University of Michigan will host Climate Futures 2024\, a symposium exploring the ways architecture and planning can help to bring about a better future for people and the planet.\n\nAcross two days of moderated presentation panels\, speakers will show how urban planners\, designers\, technologists and architects help to reduce emissions and improve equitable access to healthy and vital built environments. Symposium sessions will challenge the assumptions\, interests\, practices\, and values shaping the current landscape of climate action\, and they will open space for inclusive and collaborative imagining of new possibilities.\n\nThe event launches a new Climate Futures platform through which Taubman College aims to elevate our impact in discovery and education for climate action\, sustainability\, and environmental justice. By supporting students\, faculty\, staff\, and partners in research and creative practice\, teaching and learning\, outreach and engagement\, we aim to partner across and beyond the university to achieve inclusive\, vibrant\, and just futures.\n\nThis event is supported by the Guido A. Binda Exhibit and Lecture fund and the Raoul Wallenberg Memorial Lecture Fund. \n\nFor seven decades\, Guido Binda\, B.Arch.’31\, practiced architecture in Western Michigan\, specializing in school design. Guido\, with his wife Elizabeth\, created this fund to provide for an exhibit program and annual lecture by visiting professionals.\n\nThe Raoul Wallenberg Lecture was initiated in 1971 by Sol King\, a former classmate of Wallenberg’s. An endowment was established in 1976 for an annual lecture to be offered in Raoul’s honor on the theme of architecture as a humane social art.

The exhibition will be on display from August 26 to November 2\, 2024.\n\nWe invite the university community and the general public to explore this moving collection that delves into themes of loss\, grief\, healing\, and protection. The seventeen life-size figures\, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam\, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau’s life\, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work\, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience\, reflecting the healing power of art.\n\nAnn Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25\, 2024. During her stay\, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23\, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery. Prior to the reception\, there will be an artist's talk in the Keene Theater at 3:30 pm\, where Savageau will share insights into her creative process and the inspiration behind Guardians.\n\nAnn Savageau\, a former Studio Art instructor at the Residential College from 1978 to 2002\, is not only an artist but also an activist and educator. Her contributions to the Prison Creative Arts Project\, where she taught a weekly art workshop at Jackson Prison for four years\, showcase her commitment to using art as a tool for social change.\n\nDon't miss this opportunity to witness the transformative impact of Savageau's work and engage with her during her residency.

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college\, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota\, where no skyscrapers exist\, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit\, Glazer began his griot series\, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks\, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit\, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

The institute's presentation of *The Butch Closet* is the second iteration of the project\, offering a more intimate and immersive engagement with Phranc's sculptural works. As part of the installation\, visitors can peer into a closet built in the center of the gallery designed by the artist. Conceptually\, the space shifts from inside to outside\, public and private\, and explores themes of visibility and that which remains inaccessible or unseen.\n\nAbout the artist:\nPhranc is a jewish lesbian folksinger and queer artist who uses song\, painting and sculpture to champion personal identities and illustrate the struggle\, survival\, and victory of the queer individual. An internationally acclaimed and award winning performer. Phranc’s work integrates humor and a butch lesbian aesthetic.

Increasingly\, this strategy is shaping economically important markets\, but historically\, it has escaped antitrust enforcement. We study this phenomenon in the anesthesia industry\, home to the first rollup-based antitrust case in US history. Using procedure-level claims data\, we study the litigated transactions\, identify eighteen other observationally similar rollups\, and document their effects on market structure. We then show prices rise sharply as competing practices are acquired. Finally\, we estimate a structural bargaining model and simulate counterfactual equilibrium outcomes under remedies that courts are likely to consider.

BLO has recently attracted a lot of attention due to novel applications in machine learning that involve optimizing nested objective functions\, including hyperparameter tuning and related automated ML tasks\, few shot robust\, representation\, coreset and reinforcement learning. In the first part of the talk\, a very brief overview of the BLO problem\, selected machine learning applications that can be cast as BLO problems and algorithms to obtain its solution will be given.\n\nIn the second part of the talk\, we introduce the decentralized version of the BLO problem (without assuming a star-shape network topology) and present a penalty function-based decentralized algorithm with theoretical guarantees under both convex and non-convex assumptions for the upper level functions. Specifically\, a distributed alternating gradient-type algorithm for solving consensus BLO over a decentralized network is developed. A key feature of the proposed algorithm is the estimation of the hyper-gradient of the penalty function through decentralized computation of matrix-vector products and few vector communications. Further\, the theoretical results highlight improvements in the iteration complexity of decentralized BLO. Empirical results on selected ML problems demonstrate that the proposed method performs well in real-world settings.\n\nhttps://georgemichailidis.github.io/ UID:124540-21853169@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124540 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240829T142032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241018T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241018T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Clements Bookworm Author Conversation with Bethany Hughes “Redface: Race\, Performance\, and Indigeneity” DESCRIPTION:Author Bethany Hughes discusses her new book\, “Redface: Race\, Performance\, and Indigeneity.” Dr. Hughes is an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and assistant professor at the University of Michigan.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621419@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240919T124733 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241018T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241018T113000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Guest Speaker: Douglas J.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

Only a few of them however are capable of developing durable identities\, redemptive or otherwise\, that can command enduring sectoral support. The multifaceted case of Rodrigo Duterte\, Philippine president from 2016-2022 and father of incumbent vice president who is a major contender for the 2028 presidency\, remains central to the making of democratic polity in an age of communicative abundance.\n\nThis talk will look at the contentious episodes of mediated populism understood as critical moments where the expressions of performative populist politics in the media are deliberated by political actors like politicians\, journalists\, and members of the legal community through existing and innovative measures. Looking at diverse cases of press freedom\, religion\, and the law\, the hope is to highlight the actors\, claims\, and mechanisms that make populism a defining feature of mediated politics. The episodes of contentious politics matter to contemporary Southeast Asia and to the dynamics of emerging and developing democracies.\n\nJefferson Ragragio is an assistant professor of media studies at the University of the Philippines Los Baños and the 2024-2025 Gosling Lim Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

Coupling these separate subsystems often relies on time-intensive meshing workflows or empirical coupling models which may not generalize well across all operational regimes. The Schwarz alternating method proposes to overcome these issues\, establishing an effective domain decomposition framework which allows for the coupling of arbitrary geometries. This talk presents a brief history of Schwarz-based coupling work at Sandia National Laboratories\, along with recent work on combining the Schwarz alternating method with data-driven modeling approaches\, namely projection-based reduced order models (PROMs) and operator inference. This approach can generate surrogates which are capable of simulating advection-dominated fluid flows with higher accuracy and lower cost than comparable monolithic models\, aiding analysis in many-query applications such as uncertainty quantification and engineering design. Several nuances of the Schwarz algorithm and their impacts on model performance are explored\, specifically non-overlapping decompositions and PROM hyper-reduction under domain decomposition. A look into ongoing Schwarz coupling work at Sandia discusses existing challenges and efforts to apply this approach to relevant engineering problems.
