It is located on a small glacial outwash plain in Saint Joseph County. The soil type is a Bronson series sandy loam known for its high acidity. Because of this\, the chances of recovering any datable organic material from this late Pleistocene culture are low. This challenges us to extract all the information we can from what little clues they left behind. In this presentation I will cover topics of study related to: Paleo Environment / Ecosystem\, Clovis and other late Pleistocene stone tool technologies\, the importance of tool stone identification and sourcing\, lithic analysis\, and protein analysis. The Belson Clovis site\, being well into the 5th year of excavation\, provides a glimpse into the lives of these early “Hunter / Gatherers” in the Great Lakes Basin.

The Lu group at UNC strives to build a time-dependent theory of living systems\, bridging non-equilibrium thermodynamics with biophysical design principles. This talk presents universal laws governing biological systems far from equilibrium\, introducing geometric design principles for time-domain activated behaviors in biochemical reaction networks. The theory reveals how certain biological catalysts or reaction networks can perform counter-intuitive tasks under dynamically changing environments\, which are unattainable in steady states. We extend this framework to larger-scale phenomena\, presenting universal non-equilibrium response relations applicable to diverse biological processes\, from protein folding to neural network dynamics. This theoretical foundation offers new approaches to understanding and manipulating complex living systems. By integrating time-dependent thermodynamics with biological complexity\, our group aims to provide a unified framework for understanding and engineering life-like performances in artificial synthetic materials.

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are graph-based codes whose representation\, encoding\, and/or decoding can be visualized using a sparse graph representation\, called a Tanner graph. The majority of this talk will focus on absorbing sets\, which are combinatorial structures in a code’s Tanner graph that have been shown to characterize iterative decoder failure of LDPC codes. Previously\, absorbing sets have been regarded as combinatorial\, graph-theoretic objects\, but in this talk\, I demonstrate a novel algebraic connection between absorbing sets and the cosets and syndromes of their support vectors. Time permitting\, I will also give highlights of some of my current projects in graph-based codes.

In this presentation\, we will explore both the perils and potential of AI in translation\, offering a balanced look at the technology’s impact on the future of language services.\n \nThis session will provide a deep dive into how AI tools like neural machine translation (NMT) and real-time speech recognition systems are revolutionizing translation workflows\, driving efficiency\, and reducing costs. We’ll examine successful case studies\, such as the EU’s hybrid AI-human approach\, and eBay’s AI-powered global expansion strategy.\n \nHowever\, the presentation also highlights the significant risks AI poses: from biased outputs and hallucinations to data security concerns and cultural insensitivity. Through real-world examples—such as Facebook’s infamous mistranslation leading to legal consequences and Google Translate’s gender biases—we uncover why human expertise remains critical in ensuring quality and nuance.\n \nJoin us for this thought-provoking session that answers the fundamental question: Will AI take over the translation industry\, or is the future of language services one of collaboration between human linguists and intelligent machines? (Hint: An “expert-in-the-loop” remains critical!)\n\n\nBIO:\nBridget Hylak\, CT\, CI\, MTC is a 30+ year language industry veteran\, international speaker\, consultant\, author and trainer\, working hard to bridge the gap between silo’d industry sectors.

It is well-known that existence of a limit requires the weak topology because high-frequency oscillations appear even though they are not present in the initial data. Physically\, this phenomenon corresponds to the generation of a dispersive shock wave. In the setting of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation\, it has been shown that dispersive shock waves exhibit a universal form independent of initial data near the two edges of the dispersive shock wave\, and also near the gradient catastrophe point for the inviscid Burgers equation from which the shock wave forms. In this talk\, we will present corresponding universality results for the BO equation. These have quite a different character than in the KdV case\; while for KdV one has universal wave profiles expressed in terms of solutions of Painlevé-type equations\, for BO one instead has expressions in terms of classical Airy functions and Pearcey integrals. These results are proved for general rational initial data using a new approach based on an explicit formula for the solution of the Cauchy problem for BO. This is joint work with Elliot Blackstone\, Louise Gassot\, Patrick Gérard\, and Matthew Mitchell.

The Bruhat decomposition of G expresses G as a disjoint union of double cosets BwB\, where w lies in the Weyl group W. We can ask when BwB is contained in the (Zariski) closure of Bw'B. Chevalley gave a combinatorial criterion to this in terms of w and w'. In this talk we will discuss this criterion and give some examples. If time permits we will give a rough sketch of a proof.\n\nThis talk will be based on Chevalley’s paper “Sur les Décompositions Cellulaires des Espaces G/B.\" UID:127755-21859657@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127755 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 2866 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241102T123239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241018T151500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241018T161500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:EXCEL Talk: Noah Simon DESCRIPTION:This Q&\;A features U-M alum Noah Simon\, UTA\, for a conversation on his career and advice for aspiring music industry professionals UID:128231-21860459@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/128231 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Michigan Union, Wolverine Room, 530 S State St, Ann Arbor, MI48109, USA CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240923T084141 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241018T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241018T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Satellite Microwave Remote Sensing of the Earth and Multiple Scattering of Waves DESCRIPTION:Leung Tsang has been named the Robert J. Hiller Professor of Engineering. A reception will immediately follow the talk.\n\nSatellite microwave remote sensing has been used for monitoring the Earth’s resources and global climate changes. In this talk\, I will describe the remote sensing of snow water equivalent\, the polar ice sheets\, soil moisture\, and vegetation/forests. For remote sensing of snow water equivalent\, the proposed missions are Snow Globe and TSMM. For cryosphere properties\, the proposed mission of CyroRad/PolarRad can be used to retrieve firn properties\, subsurface temperature profiles\, and aquifer properties. For remote sensing of soil moisture and vegetation/forests\, the SMAP and NISAR are satellite missions with passive and active sensors respectively. I developed electromagnetic models of layered media\, dense media\, rough surfaces\, vegetation and forests that are used for data analyses and retrieval algorithms. Recent emphases of electromagnetic models of remote sensing are on fast full wave simulations\, combining multiple scattering theory and computational electromagnetics. I have also adapted the approach to multiple scattering problems in photonic crystals\n\nBio\n\nLeung Tsang is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. His research has been in Satellite Microwave Remote Sensing of the Earth and the Multiple Scattering of Waves. He has made contributions to electromagnetic models of waves in dense media for scattering by snow\, rough surface scattering by soil surfaces\, radiative transfer and full wave simulations of vegetation and forests. The models form the bases of remote sensing data analyses\, parameter retrieval algorithms and designs of satellite remote sensing measurements. He has applied the approach of multiple scattering of waves also to scattering problems in printed circuit board and photonic crystals\nLeung Tsang received his BS\, MS and PhD from MIT. He joined the University of Michigan in January 2015. He was a Professor at the University of Washington from 1983-2014 and was the Chair of the UWEE Department in 2006-2011. In 2001-2004\, he was on leave at the Department of Electronic Engineering of the City University of Hong Kong. Leung Tsang is the lead author of 4 books: ‘Theory of Microwave Remote Sensing” and the 3 volumes of Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves’. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing (1996-2000)\, the President of IEEE-GRSS (2006-2007). Since 2008\, he has been the Chair of the PIERS Symposium. He received the Distinguished Achievement Award from IEEE-GRSS in 2008\, the Golden Florin Award in 2010\, the William Pecora Award co-sponsored by USGS and NASA in 2012\, the IEEE Electromagnetics Award in 2013 and the Van de Hulst Light Scattering Award in 2018. He is a Fellow of IEEE\, a Fellow of OPTICA\, a Fellow of the Electromagnetics Academy\, a member of the Washington State Academy of Science and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.

Microbial manganese oxidation\, which typically leads the formation of MnO 2 (s)\, was documented more than a century ago. However\, its physiological function remains elusive. Also lacking is knowledge of the factors that control the regulation and transcription of the enzymes leading to manganese biomineralization. In this talk I will present a novel reporter gene fusion system that we developed to study the activation of the genes encoding two manganese oxidases in the common bacterium\, Pseudomonas putida GB-1. This system has enabled the first temporally and spatially resolved analysis of manganese oxidase promoter activation at the single cell level and ability to correlate gene activation with mineral precipitation across a range of environmental conditions. The mechanism of manganese biomineralization that emerges is one regulated at the population-level and not at the single cell level. Further\, the two manganese oxidases are regulated by specific chemical cues that expand the ecological niches for manganese biomineralization. This work provides a new framework to investigate how microbial communities orchestrate the extent\, location and timing of biogeochemical transformations\, while providing new insights on the interface between life and minerals.

Disillusioned by lofty promises for power and control\, Gill’s research shows how Punjabi men contend with patriarchy: by submitting to it\, by attempting to transgress it\, by migrating away from it\, or by coming undone by it. Based on long-term ethnographic research in and around Punjab\, and its capital city Chandigarh\, Gill offers a deeper insight into the worlds of middle-class Punjabi men and how they come of age. On one hand\, masculinity is produced through pervasive patriarchal violence\, on the other\, it’s underlined with intimacy and tenderness men express freely towards each other without the fear of homophobic ridicule. Gill’s research posits an indictment of patriarchy as a system that not only oppresses women but also constricts men’s choices regarding their intimate and sexual lives. Whereas outward transnational migration from Punjab is historically understood through frameworks of political persecution and economic desperation\, Gill’s considers male migration as gendered phenomenon by exploring how migration offers a strategy for evading patriarchal responsibilities as well as examining how male migration reconfigures the lives of those who are left behind. Gill concludes by making a convincing argument for why men everywhere (including in hyper-patriarchal Punjab) must divest from patriarchy if they don’t wish for their lives to be defined by relentless conflict and violence.\n \n Harjant Gill is professor of anthropology at Towson University. His research examines the intersections of masculinity\, modernity\, transnational migration\, and popular culture in India. Gill is also an award-winning filmmaker and has made several ethnographic films that have screened at international film festivals and on television channels worldwide including BBC World News\, Doordarshan (Indian National TV) and PBS. Gill is also the recipient of the Point Foundation Scholarship\, Fulbright-Nehru Research Fellowship\, American Institute of Indian Studies Performing Arts Fellowship\, the Institute for Citizens & Scholars' Career Enhancement Fellowship\, and the Whiting Foundation Public Engagement Fellowship.

Excavations in the ancient capital of Aksum trace the origins of the Aksumite dynasty to the 2nd century B.C. The Aksumites were preceded at least from the 8th century B.C. by an indigenous culture which ran parallel to a successful colonial or emigre community of Sabeans who came from directly across the Red Sea in Yemen. The Sabeans brought with them their written language\, for which epigraphic evidence is not lacking. The Aksumites used Ge’ez\, an independent subgroup of the Semitic languages\, known from epigraphic inscriptions to have been fully developed by the 3rd century A.D. The royal court adopted Christianity along with other kingdoms situated on the periphery of the Byzantine Empire\, shortly before the Conversion of Constantine in the second quarter of the 4th century. The Garima Gospels\, recently attributed to the 5th-7th c. A.D.\, are among the earliest\, if not the earliest extant translations of the Greek Bible. Sitting squarely on the maritime trade route between Rome\, Persia\, India and points east\, this highland stronghold was the recipient of cultural and technological developments from both directions\; its religions\, of which Christianity became the most dominant\, arrived from the Eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea regions\, while significant aspects of material culture were carried by the trade winds across the Indian Ocean\, particularly from the Subcontinent itself. Due largely to its geographic position\, Ethiopia belongs neither to the East nor to the West but has developed over the millennia as a unique socio-political entity that is very different from its neighbors in Egypt\, Sudan\, Somalia\, and Arabia. This presentation will focus on its global connections across time and space\, with particular reference to the imported textiles that appear on the inner book boards of some Christian manuscripts and Mamluk metalware used during religious ceremonies.\n\nMichael Gervers is trained as a Western medievalist (B.A. Princeton\; PhD University of Toronto) with particular interests in charters and material cultural. As an M.A. student at the Centre d’études supérieures de civilization médiévale at the Université de Poitiers\, he excavated the rock-hewn church of St. Georges below the village of Gurat in the French Aquitaine. The pursuit of rock-hewn ecclesiastical architecture led him to Ethiopia\, where he has worked for the past 40 years recording art and culture\, with 70\,000 images deposited in the database Mazgaba Seelat (https://ethiopia.utsc.utoronto.ca/). Research in Ethiopia has led him to the study of Mamluk metalware\, and ancient imported textiles preserved on the book boards of manuscripts.

In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817941@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241019T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241019T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621420@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241019T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241019T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

Modeled after Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey\, Ulysses is the latest project by the New York City-based theater company Elevator Repair Service\, perhaps best known for Gatz\, its award-winning verbatim staging of the entire text of The Great Gatsby.\n\nBuilding on a rich history of staging modernist texts\, Elevator Repair Service takes on this mammoth work of 21st-century literature (in an abridged version!) for their UMS debut. Seven performers sit down for a sober reading but soon find themselves guzzling pints\, getting in brawls\, and committing debaucheries as they careen on a fast-forward tour through Joyce’s funhouse of styles. With madcap antics and a densely layered sound design\, Elevator Repair Service presents an eclectic sampling from Joyce’s life-affirming masterpiece.

Marrying nostalgic storytelling to nuanced\, folk-infused indie rock\, the Richmond\, Virginia band embroiders heartfelt melody and harmony with acoustic and electric instrumentation to create a 12-song rumination on time\, love and personal growth that’s equal parts urgent epiphany and contented exhalation.\n\nOriginally formed as a college cover band in 1992 and with over 3\,500 famously enthused live shows together\, Carbon Leaf helped to define the aughts indie rock that they ultimately outgrew and outlasted. They first earned national recognition with “The Boxer\,” a song that won the American Music Awards 2002 New Music Award and made Carbon Leaf the first unsigned band to perform before millions on the AMAs.\n\n“The Boxer” entered regular radio rotation\, Carbon Leaf’s tours grew bigger and better\, and within a couple of years they quit their day jobs and inked a record deal. The band’s fanbase snowballed\, drawn to their infectious spirit of commitment\, empathy\, communion\, and selfreliance – not to mention supremely crafted songs with ultra-relatable\, thought-provoking lyrics.\n\nAfter a trio of charting albums for Vanguard Records\, multiple songwriting awards and headlining shows\, Carbon Leaf opted to return to the complete creative control of their indie roots. Guitarist Terry Clark\, who co-founded the band with Privett and multi-instrumentalist Carter Gravatt\, converted his garage into the band’s Two-Car Studio\, where they’ve recorded releases for their own Constant Ivy imprint ever since. Carbon Leaf’s DIY spirit even extended to re-recording their three Vanguard albums in order to regain the rights.\n\nDue in September\, Time is the Playground is Carbon Leaf’s first full-length album in a decade\, during which they released two EPS and a 27-song live performance album and Blu-ray. Time is the Playground gathers the best of songs written\, in fits and starts\, over 15 years\, alongside brand new ideas. \n\n“Thinking about these disparate pieces of music\, I began ruminating on time itself\,” Privett recalled. “The band’s been together a long time. You mature a bit and see yourself in place on the timeline … rolling around the scenes of love and growth.”\n\nTime is the Playground will be accompanied by the tireless touring almost synonymous with Carbon Leaf\, who’ve become a model for self-managing bands in the digital landscape.

The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817942@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241020T060014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241020T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241020T120000 SUMMARY:Other:Soccer practice!

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:84303-21621421@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:20241020T120005 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241020T111100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241020T121100 SUMMARY:Other:H2O Sunday Service DESCRIPTION:Come join us for praise and worship with students and alumni from UoM at the Rackham Building (4th floor).

Modeled after Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey\, Ulysses is the latest project by the New York City-based theater company Elevator Repair Service\, perhaps best known for Gatz\, its award-winning verbatim staging of the entire text of The Great Gatsby.\n\nBuilding on a rich history of staging modernist texts\, Elevator Repair Service takes on this mammoth work of 21st-century literature (in an abridged version!) for their UMS debut. Seven performers sit down for a sober reading but soon find themselves guzzling pints\, getting in brawls\, and committing debaucheries as they careen on a fast-forward tour through Joyce’s funhouse of styles. With madcap antics and a densely layered sound design\, Elevator Repair Service presents an eclectic sampling from Joyce’s life-affirming masterpiece.

To observe the manifestations of a younger you’s inner life. To be honest\, it’s often cringy and anxiety inducing. With the benefit of hindsight\, our shortsightedness and misplaced fears and hopes seem so obvious. \n\nAs I look back\, ten years later\, to the person I was when I made Ledges\, I see a young man full of ambition and naivety\, desperate for validation and a sense of belonging. I see a boy with a singular vision and a hell of a lot to learn. \n\nThey say you have your whole life to make your first record and 18 months to make your second. Although Ledges isn’t technically my first album\, for all intents and purposes\, it feels like it. It was the one I spent years writing. Some songs were written on a mattress on the floor of a rented room I shared with a friend\, in a run down old house I moved into when I left my folks place at 17. Some I wrote in my first apartment in Seattle. One was written in the early hours of the morning\, waking up on a friend's couch to a simple\, beautiful piano arrangement Abby wrote. One\, after the unexpected heroin overdose that resulted in the death of a friend. Another\, after briefly reigniting an old flame\, only to watch it quickly burn out. \n\nEverything was new back then. The colors were brighter\, the highs higher\, the lows lower. Falling in love felt like the first time. Heartbreak felt like the end of the world. Ideas felt important and the future was a big\, empty canvas.\n\nThere’s a lot of self importance in all of this and ultimately this is just some record that some kid made. But to that kid this record felt like his whole world. And like all records\, it’s a little snapshot in time. And how lucky we are to have snapshots\, photographs of moments and memories that ground us in the reality we’ve lived.\n\nI don’t want to live in the past. But I’m grateful for this marker of how it once was. A little simpler\, a little cleaner\, a whole lot of potential. And maybe that’s a reminder that I’m living in that potential\, right now. This is the future I imagined and hoped for. This is the person I am now. And it’s nice to be able to look back and see how far I’ve come.

First we'll be showing the German silent film *The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari* – one of the original silent horror films that explores the dark corners of the psyche through the story of a carnival hypnotist by day who uses his somnambulist partner to commit murders by night! The work is underscored by the incredible string quartet music of composer and pianist STEPHEN PRUTSMAN\, evoking the psychological terror of these twisted visuals through the language of 12-tone technique and aesthetic of the 2nd Viennese School. Post-intermission we'll move on to the original music of that very school\, into the romantically tortured mind of composer ALBAN BERG and his Lyric Suite – a latent opera on its surface\, but actually a secret letter of unrequited love to Hannah Fuchs-Robettin\, Alban Berg's self-proclaimed soulmate. Come join us for this gaze into the dark corners of the human psyche and THERE WILL BE POPCORN!\n\nABOUT TELEGRAPH QUARTET\n\nErin Chin & Joseph Maile\, violins\nPei-Ling Lin\, viola\nJeremiah Shaw\, cello\n\nThe TELEGRAPH QUARTET formed in 2013 with an equal passion for standard and contemporary chamber music repertoire.

Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. The Quartet is currently the Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe Quartet has performed in New York City’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center\, San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre\, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s *Chamber Masters Series*\, and at festivals including the Chautauqua Institute\, Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival\, and the Emilia Romagna Festival. They have collaborated with pianists Leon Fleisher and Simone Dinnerstein\; cellists Norman Fischer and Bonnie Hampton\; violinist Ian Swensen\; and the St. Lawrence Quartet and Henschel Quartett. A fervent champion of 20th- and 21st-century repertoire\, the Telegraph Quartet has premiered works by Osvaldo Golijov\, John Harbison\, Robert Sirota\, and Richard Festinger.\n\nIn August 2023\, the Telegraph Quartet released its latest album *Divergent Paths*\, the first in a series of recordings titled *20th Century Vantage Points*\, on Azica Records. *Divergent Paths*\, featuring Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major and Schoenberg’s String Quartet No. 1 in D minor\, Op. 7\, follows *Into The Light* (Centaur\, 2018)\, an album highlighting a gripping set of works by Leon Kirchner\, Anton Webern\, and Benjamin Britten.\n\nhttps://smtd.umich.edu/the-telegraph-quartet-begins-three-year-residency-at-smtd/ UID:125087-21854349@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/125087 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Free,Music,North Campus LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Stamps Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241021T180020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241021T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241021T235959 SUMMARY:Other:2024 MIT Tournament DESCRIPTION:Come compete with us in Poomsae and Sparring at MIT!!

The influence of weather and climate on water quality can be uneven and unequitable because of the changing climate pattern and its complex relationship with pollutant sources and transport factors over space and time. In this talk\, I will introduce my research on how the interplay of climate change\, watershed development\, and socioeconomic factors influence surface water quality and the associated ecosystem services. I will also introduce how I use a landscape architecture perspective to create a resilient and equitable water environment through possible landscape design and community engagement approaches.

Both poets talk back to Stein\, exposing the racial and gender dynamics embedded in her work. Mullen’s adaptations\, Trimmings (1991) and S*PeRM**KT (1992)\, explore how Stein’s elliptical language fractures objects and objectifies people within the context of racialized capitalism. Morris’s handholding: five kinds (2016) further challenges avant-garde assumptions by revisiting Stein’s Tender Buttons with the nonce form of a handholding poem\, a critical-creative dialogue that simultaneously critiques and re-envisions Stein's work. I explore how Morris\, in particular\, builds upon Mullen’s insights to transform the legacy of Stein’s modernist text\, revealing the racialized undercurrents that inform her aesthetic principles while also positioning herself as a contemporary capable of remaking Stein’s work. By doing so\, Morris demonstrates that reading Stein with double vision — seeing both the original work and the critique layered upon it — transforms not only the text but the act of reading itself.

His acclaimed graphic memoir\, *When Stars Are Scattered*\, co-authored with Victoria Jamieson\, captures his experiences growing up in one of the world’s largest refugee camps with his younger brother\, Hassan. The book provides a vivid\, deeply personal account of life in Dadaab\, portraying the day-to-day challenges of refugee life\, including the pursuit of education\, access to food\, and navigating an uncertain future.\n\n*When Stars Are Scattered* has resonated with readers of all ages\, shedding light on the human side of the global refugee crisis. The book has been praised for its heart-wrenching portrayal of perseverance in the face of hardship. The graphic novel is not only a memoir but a call to empathy\, inviting readers to understand the struggles and hopes of millions of displaced people worldwide. It was a National Book Award Finalist for Young People’s Literature in 2020 and the winner of the Josette Frank Award in 2020. It also won the Walter Dean Myers Award for Young Readers in 2021. It received starred reviews from Booklist\, The Horn Book\, Kirkus Reviews\, Publishers Weekly\, and School Library Journal.\n \nBeyond his writing\, Mohamed is also the founder of Refugee Strong\, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the education and well-being of refugee children living in camps. Refugee Strong provides school supplies\, resources\, and support to ensure that young refugees have the tools they need to succeed despite the challenges they face. Mohamed’s ongoing work with the Dadaab camp\, where he returns regularly\, is a vital part of his mission to give back to the community that shaped his early life. His advocacy continues to inspire\, drawing attention to the global refugee crisis while offering a message of hope for the future.

In his speech titled \"The future problems of mathematics\,\" Hilbert presented (a subset of) his famous list of 23 unsolved problems to be studied in the coming century. Attempts to solve these problems have since resulted in interesting developments throughout mathematics.\n\nThis talk will briefly present some of Hilbert's problems\, their current status\, and broader mathematical developments resulting from them. Since these problems range greatly in the precision of their statement\, it is hard to describe the current status of every single one of them. Furthermore\, depending on how \"resolved\" is defined\, there may be different answers as to whether some of these problems have been resolved. The talk will address this in more detail.\n\nAfter explaining the relevant background (for example\, consistency and decision problems)\, we will study in detail Hilbert's first and tenth problems\, i.e. the continuum hypothesis and the existence of an algorithm to determine whether any diophantine equation has an integer solution. Through these problems\, we will address the notions of independence and undecidability.
