For over 60 years\, the region has been host to the activities of multinational oil corporations who partner with the Nigerian state in exploiting oil for profit. Oil was first discovered in the region in 1956\, and the first shipment of the commodity to the international market occurred in 1958 with a consignment of about 5\,000 barrels per day (bpd). Production peaked at about 2.5 million bpd\, but today\, because of community protests\, insurgency\, and general disruption to the activities of corporations\, the number hovers between 1.2 million to 1.4 million bpd. While the state has benefited immensely from oil production\, the same cannot be said of the communities that are hosts to pipelines\, flow stations\, and all of the oil infrastructure that has come to define the entire region. Loss of livelihood\, heavily polluted environment\, death\, and displacement have characterized the region’s interaction with multinational oil corporations such as Shell\, Chevron\, ExxonMobil\, Eni\, Total Energies\, etc.\n\nThis exhibition is a bold attempt to shed light on what it means to live in an oil extractive enclave like the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The images showcase the lives lived\, the loss\, perseverance\, and determination to survive.\n\nThe exhibition is divided into two parts. The first part of the exhibition is displayed in the DAAS gallery with the sub-theme “People Crossings and the Dangers of Oil Pollution” and is a demonstration of the everyday lived experiences of the inhabitants of many of the enclaves of the Niger Delta. As depicted in the photos\, people cross polluted rivers to go to school and in search of a means of survival.\n\nGallery visitors are invited to cross from the DAAS Gallery to the International Institute Gallery on the 5th floor of Weiser Hall to see the second part of the exhibition\, “Living\, Community\, and Polluted Environment.” This portion of the exhibition demonstrates community resilience in the face of environmental persecution. It shows everyday life amid oil infrastructure that litters the entire landscape of many of the communities in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.\n\n— - - -\nNnimmo Bassey is an architect\, environmental justice activist\, writer\, and poet. His latest poetry collection is titled I See the Invisible (2023). Other collections include I Will Not Dance to Your Beat(2011) and We Thought It Was Oil But It Was Blood (2002).

Strong introduced sequential comic strips into humor magazines and precursors to graphic novels known as “graphic albums.” These early works reached audiences in the tens of thousands. Their influences ranged from Walt Whitman’s poetry to Mark Twain’s travel writings to the bawdy stage comedies of the Bowery Theatre. Most importantly\, they featured new approaches to graphic storytelling that went far beyond the speech bubbles and panel grids familiar to us today. As readers of Lost Literacies will see\, these little-known early US comic strips rival even the most innovative modern comics for their diversity and ambition.

Group lasso penalties are commonly used to estimate sparse models by simultaneously setting groups of variables to zero. When paired with a suitable loss function\, these penalties enable model selection with different types of data\, such as categorical\, count\, and continuous data. However\, carrying out inference in the selected model\, also known as selective inference or post-selection inference\, is quite challenging. There are two main reasons for this. First\, previous selective inference methods for the lasso penalty do not extend to selection with a group lasso penalty\, as there is no straightforward way to describe the selection event. Second\, even for the lasso\, these previous methods are restricted to normal data. As a result\, analysts are limited to less efficient options like data splitting\, where each sample is used for only one of the two tasks\, model selection or inference. \n\nIn this talk\, I will present a selective inference method for models selected with group lasso penalties. The method involves using a new form of randomization with Gaussian noise variables\, resulting in a randomized group lasso estimator. Unlike traditional data splitting\, this method makes use of all available samples for both model selection and inference\, resulting in significantly shorter intervals that adapt to the signal strength in the data. Moreover\, this method provides a unified way to make distribution-free selective inference with a wide class of loss functions\, as opposed to more recent variants of data splitting such as data fission\, that are tailored to specific parametric families.\n\nhttps://snigdha-panigrahi.netlify.app/ UID:124533-21853150@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124533 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240920T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240920T200000 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:84303-21621395@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:20240826T181514 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240920T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240920T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Weaving Workshop Led by Kelly Church & Cherish Parrish DESCRIPTION:Artists Kelly Church and Cherish Parrish will guide participants to create a woven mat out of paper and share weaving techniques and stories about basket gatherings that have sustained Indigenous teachings and cultural practices for generations.\nOpen to all students\, faculty\, and staff.

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).

Without denying the power and importance of these connotations\, this symposium will also explore the entanglements of home and exile and the ambiguities that lurk within. Hakem Al-Rustom takes up this challenge in his work on Armenians who survived the genocide and remained in their ancestral lands but whose presence has been silenced in or erased from the historical record\; Jennifer Dominique Jones’s research explores the fraught relations between Black and queer political identities in the United States\; and Sanne Ravensbergen’s scholarship examines the complicated interplay between Dutch and Indigenous law in Indonesia within the context of Dutch colonialism. For each\, home is not so much a refuge as a site of contestation and ambivalence where the threat—and reality—of displacement or escape both lurks and beckons. \n\nPanelists:\nHakem Al-Rustom (Assistant Professor\, Alex Manoogian Professor of Modern Armenian History\, University of Michigan)\nJennifer Dominique Jones (Associate Professor\; History\, Women's and Gender Studies\; University of Michigan)\nSanne Ravensbergen (Assistant Professor\, History\, University of Michigan)\nJohn Carson (Associate Professor\, History\, University of Michigan\, moderator)\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

What a game!” They might also make a joke aboutthe long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation.If you are interested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’syour chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk asan international student. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers!  UID:124360-21852948@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124360 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241005T123225 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240920T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240920T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:North American Stainless Info Session DESCRIPTION:North American Stainless (NAS) NAS is located in Ghent\, Kentucky which is about halfway between Louisville and Cincinnati.

Our research group explores the fundamental principles and advanced techniques for harnessing structural periodicity to manipulate wave propagation for diverse applications in sensing\, energy harvesting\, and space technology. By leveraging the unique properties of these periodic structures\, we demonstrate how they can be used to enhance ultrasonic sensing and nondestructive testing\, improve the efficiency of energy harvesters\, and develop innovative solutions for space applications. The first part of my talk will focus on gradient index phononic crystal (GRIN-PC) lenses conforming pipe-like structures. Conformal GRIN-PC lenses are designed by tailoring unit cell geometry according to a specific refractive index profile. We explore the focusing of multi-mode guided waves at the desired locations (i.e. sensor nodes) along the pipe structure to address the attenuation problem in long-range pipelines. Then\, I will explain how we exploit the negative refraction property of phononic crystals for designing a super lens. Unlike GRIN-PC lenses\, which have at least minimum wavelength resolution as their natural limit\, negative refraction-based PC lenses can potentially overcome the diffraction limit\, which is highly favorable in medical imaging or other applications requiring localized wave intensity in areas smaller than a square wavelength. The second part of my talk will deal with reconfigurable metasurfaces for full wavefront control with an emphasis on energy harvesting of low frequency elastic waves. We fully analyze and design the elastic metasurfaces by tailoring the phase gradient of individual unit structures for different wave functions and present theoretical findings along with experimental validation. The last part of my talk will highlight the potential of metamaterials in space applications\, such as novel in-space manufacturable extended solar arrays and antennas with high precision and mass efficiency.\n\nContact: Silas Alben UID:121463-21846575@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121463 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241005T123314 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240920T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240920T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Dream Big with Your Degree: Virtual University Information Session DESCRIPTION:BE THE FUTURE.

However\, their counterpart\, mutation-infinite quivers\, are not. Using a special type of quiver called a fork\, we give two results related to mutation-infinite quivers. First\, we prove that a quiver being mutation-equivalent to a finite number of non-forks is a hereditary property\, i.e.\, one preserved by restriction to any full subquiver. Second\, using only forks and elementary methods\, we show that 3-vertex quivers that are not mutation-equivalent to an acyclic quiver have sign-coherent c-vectors.

Geochemical\, experimental\, field\, and phase equilibrium forward modeling studies have identified basalt as a likely source of partial melting to form these ubiquitous TTGs\, pointing to the importance of metamorphic processes in the generation of the Earth’s crust. Fractionation of phases such as garnet and plagioclase during partial melting and subsequent fractional crystallization have been shown to shape the major and trace element chemistry of TTGs. Additionally\, the importance of free water available to assist in partial melting has been highlighted\, and likely is sourced from ultramafic lithologies such as komatiites.\n\nKomatiites are ultramafic (MgO > 18 wt. %) volcanic rocks found almost exclusively in Archean greenstone belts. They are extensively hydrated\, as they were serpentinised on the ocean floor after their eruption in oceanic plateaux-type settings. The dehydration of komatiites may play a role in tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) and therefore continental crust formation. Hydrated komatiites can retain their mineral-bound water to significant temperatures\, releasing up to 6 wt.% H2O between 500–800 °C. Burial\, underthrusting\, or subduction of the komatiites would cause them to release their water and trigger partial melting of basalts to form TTGs at these conditions. As such\, it appears that greenstone belts may contain the necessary ingredients to produce TTGs\, including alkaline\, tholeiitic\, and high-Mg basalts\, and komatiites. However\, they also contain Ca-rich sediments (greywackes)\, carbonates\, varied intrusive rocks\, felsic and mafic volcaniclastics\, and other clastic and chemical sediments\, which may also play a role in continental crust genesis. Modeling of partial melting of these lithologies can explore the types of melts produced during water-fluxed melting\, to further understand the processes which formed the earliest continental crust.

And Shouldn't Be This Way\n\nRecent years have witnessed remarkable advancements in AI\, with language and vision models that have enabled progress in numerous applications and opened the door to the integration of AI in areas such as communication\, transportation\, healthcare\, and arts. Yet\, many of these models and their corresponding datasets are W.E.I.R.D. (Western\, Educated\, Industrialized\, Rich\, Democratic) and they are reflective of a small fraction of the population.(*) In this talk\, I will show some of the limitations and lack of representation of current AI models\, and highlight the need for cross-cultural language and vision models that can capture the diversity of behaviors\, beliefs\, and language expressions across different groups. I will also explore ways in which we can address these limitations by developing models that are re-centered around people and their unique characteristics.\n\n(*) W.E.I.R.D. is an acronym widely used in psychology to indicate the limitations of many of the studies carried out in the field UID:124741-21853735@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124741 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Artificial Intelligence,Free,Talk LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Lorch 471 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240920T120029 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240920T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240920T180000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Informational DESCRIPTION:Come and learn what it takes to be a part of SLB!

For over 60 years\, the region has been host to the activities of multinational oil corporations who partner with the Nigerian state in exploiting oil for profit. Oil was first discovered in the region in 1956\, and the first shipment of the commodity to the international market occurred in 1958 with a consignment of about 5\,000 barrels per day (bpd). Production peaked at about 2.5 million bpd\, but today\, because of community protests\, insurgency\, and general disruption to the activities of corporations\, the number hovers between 1.2 million to 1.4 million bpd. While the state has benefited immensely from oil production\, the same cannot be said of the communities that are hosts to pipelines\, flow stations\, and all of the oil infrastructure that has come to define the entire region. Loss of livelihood\, heavily polluted environment\, death\, and displacement have characterized the region’s interaction with multinational oil corporations such as Shell\, Chevron\, ExxonMobil\, Eni\, Total Energies\, etc.\n\nThis exhibition is a bold attempt to shed light on what it means to live in an oil extractive enclave like the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The images showcase the lives lived\, the loss\, perseverance\, and determination to survive.\n\nThe exhibition is divided into two parts. The first part of the exhibition is displayed in the DAAS gallery with the sub-theme “People Crossings and the Dangers of Oil Pollution” and is a demonstration of the everyday lived experiences of the inhabitants of many of the enclaves of the Niger Delta. As depicted in the photos\, people cross polluted rivers to go to school and in search of a means of survival.\n\nGallery visitors are invited to cross from the DAAS Gallery to the International Institute Gallery on the 5th floor of Weiser Hall to see the second part of the exhibition\, “Living\, Community\, and Polluted Environment.” This portion of the exhibition demonstrates community resilience in the face of environmental persecution. It shows everyday life amid oil infrastructure that litters the entire landscape of many of the communities in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.\n\n— - - -\nNnimmo Bassey is an architect\, environmental justice activist\, writer\, and poet.

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.

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:84303-21621396@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:20240921T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240921T170000 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).

For over 60 years\, the region has been host to the activities of multinational oil corporations who partner with the Nigerian state in exploiting oil for profit. Oil was first discovered in the region in 1956\, and the first shipment of the commodity to the international market occurred in 1958 with a consignment of about 5\,000 barrels per day (bpd). Production peaked at about 2.5 million bpd\, but today\, because of community protests\, insurgency\, and general disruption to the activities of corporations\, the number hovers between 1.2 million to 1.4 million bpd. While the state has benefited immensely from oil production\, the same cannot be said of the communities that are hosts to pipelines\, flow stations\, and all of the oil infrastructure that has come to define the entire region. Loss of livelihood\, heavily polluted environment\, death\, and displacement have characterized the region’s interaction with multinational oil corporations such as Shell\, Chevron\, ExxonMobil\, Eni\, Total Energies\, etc.\n\nThis exhibition is a bold attempt to shed light on what it means to live in an oil extractive enclave like the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The images showcase the lives lived\, the loss\, perseverance\, and determination to survive.\n\nThe exhibition is divided into two parts. The first part of the exhibition is displayed in the DAAS gallery with the sub-theme “People Crossings and the Dangers of Oil Pollution” and is a demonstration of the everyday lived experiences of the inhabitants of many of the enclaves of the Niger Delta. As depicted in the photos\, people cross polluted rivers to go to school and in search of a means of survival.\n\nGallery visitors are invited to cross from the DAAS Gallery to the International Institute Gallery on the 5th floor of Weiser Hall to see the second part of the exhibition\, “Living\, Community\, and Polluted Environment.” This portion of the exhibition demonstrates community resilience in the face of environmental persecution. It shows everyday life amid oil infrastructure that litters the entire landscape of many of the communities in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.\n\n— - - -\nNnimmo Bassey is an architect\, environmental justice activist\, writer\, and poet.

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:107870-21817918@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:20240820T160733 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240922T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240922T123000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:For Families: Dance Party for Kids with House of Jit DESCRIPTION:Kicks\, wiggles\, spinning on the floor\, plus fancy footwork paired with the music of Funk and Techno give us Detroit’s native dance style called Jit.

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:84303-21621397@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:20240922T120006 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240922T111100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240922T121100 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).

For over 60 years\, the region has been host to the activities of multinational oil corporations who partner with the Nigerian state in exploiting oil for profit. Oil was first discovered in the region in 1956\, and the first shipment of the commodity to the international market occurred in 1958 with a consignment of about 5\,000 barrels per day (bpd). Production peaked at about 2.5 million bpd\, but today\, because of community protests\, insurgency\, and general disruption to the activities of corporations\, the number hovers between 1.2 million to 1.4 million bpd. While the state has benefited immensely from oil production\, the same cannot be said of the communities that are hosts to pipelines\, flow stations\, and all of the oil infrastructure that has come to define the entire region. Loss of livelihood\, heavily polluted environment\, death\, and displacement have characterized the region’s interaction with multinational oil corporations such as Shell\, Chevron\, ExxonMobil\, Eni\, Total Energies\, etc.\n\nThis exhibition is a bold attempt to shed light on what it means to live in an oil extractive enclave like the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The images showcase the lives lived\, the loss\, perseverance\, and determination to survive.\n\nThe exhibition is divided into two parts. The first part of the exhibition is displayed in the DAAS gallery with the sub-theme “People Crossings and the Dangers of Oil Pollution” and is a demonstration of the everyday lived experiences of the inhabitants of many of the enclaves of the Niger Delta. As depicted in the photos\, people cross polluted rivers to go to school and in search of a means of survival.\n\nGallery visitors are invited to cross from the DAAS Gallery to the International Institute Gallery on the 5th floor of Weiser Hall to see the second part of the exhibition\, “Living\, Community\, and Polluted Environment.” This portion of the exhibition demonstrates community resilience in the face of environmental persecution. It shows everyday life amid oil infrastructure that litters the entire landscape of many of the communities in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.\n\n— - - -\nNnimmo Bassey is an architect\, environmental justice activist\, writer\, and poet.

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.

Opposing selection pressures posed by bathymetric distribution and site heterogeneity synergistically drive the evolution of complex defensive shell morphologies. I will focus on the enigmatic carrier snails (family: Xenophoridae)\, a gastropod family that produce highly sculptured and forms by adorning their shells with “collected” foreign objects for camouflage or physical defence. Are carrier snails species specialized collectors as widely thought? What do they reveal about cryptic diversity and evolution of defensive behaviors in the deep sea? Melding geometric morphometrics\, population genetics\, comparative phylogenetic approaches\, I will unravel bathymetric and populational patterns of defensive behavior evolution in carrier snails and beyond.

Uneven Belonging: How Refugee Youth in Jordan Experience Inclusive Refugee Education DESCRIPTION:Over the past ten years\, global refugee education policy has shifted towards a model of inclusion such that refugees are integrated into national systems. Following the influx of Syrian refugees in 2011\, the Government of Jordan adapted this inclusive model of education whereby refugees attend Jordanian schools\, study the Jordanian curriculum from Jordanian teachers\, often alongside Jordanian students. While this model of integration is upheld for its promise of providing high quality education to all students\, the experiences of refugee students tell a different story. In this presentation\, I will explore the experiences of refugee students from varying national backgrounds\, with a focus on their sense of belonging at the local and national level. I will highlight the ways that refugee youth navigate and negotiate their belonging and point to the uneven outcomes of the inclusive refugee education policy.\n \n Dr Cohen’s research centers on understanding the educational experiences of students and teachers in areas of crisis and conflict\, with a focus on refugees and forced migrants in the Middle East. She is particularly interested in understanding the ways that policies are adapted\, negotiated and implemented by educators and how that\, in turn\, impacts students’ learning. Cohen has conducted research and applied work with students and educators in Jordan\, Morocco\, the United States\, India and Myanmar. She holds a PhD in Comparative and International Development Education from the University of Minnesota\, a MA in International Educational Development from Columbia University Teachers College\, and a BA in Middle Eastern Studies from Columbia University.\n\nRegister here: https://myumi.ch/5yMe3 UID:124637-21853471@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124637 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Lecture,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240910T102725 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240923T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240923T130000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Psychology Visiting Scholar Talk: Early Life Stress and Children’s Learning: What Matters Most Might Not Be Obvious DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Lorraine Nadelman Visiting Scholar Fund\n\nDiscovering the processes through which early life experiences affect children’s development is critically important for developing prevention and interventions for youth exposed to adversity\, and also for understanding the basic science of human development and learning. Nearly all research on early experience\, socio-emotional development\, and neurobiology has been anchored on documenting specific (presumably stressful) events that have occurred in a child’s life. Yet\, there is increasing evidence that children’s perceptions of their own experiences and the meaning they construe from what has happened to them might be critical for understanding behavioral\, biological\, and learning outcomes. How can we better embrace this real- albeit messy- complexity of human development? This presentation aims to serve as a catalyst for thinking about these kinds of new future research directions.

The recent single-cell omics technology provides an unprecedented opportunity to profile cells. However\, those measurements are taken as static snapshots of many individual cells that often lose spatiotemporal information. How to obtain temporal relationships among cells from such measurements or recover spatial interactions among cells\, such as cell-cell communication? In this talk I will first present our newly developed computational tools that dissect transition properties of cells and infer cell-cell communication based on nonspatial single-cell data. Then I will present methods to derive multicellular spatiotemporal pattern and cell-cell communication from spatial transcriptomics datasets as well as computational tools for data integration. Through applications of those methods to several complex systems in development\, regeneration\, and diseases\, we show the discovery power of such methods and identify areas for further development for spatiotemporal reconstruction of single-cell genomics data.

Heightened solidarity is then supposed to boost support for policies that benefit minoritized outgroups who are not one’s own—for\nexample\, Black adults become more pro-Latino\, Asian adults become more pro-Black\, and Latino adults become more pro-Asian. In this talk\, Efrén Pérez will discuss his lab’s growing experimental evidence on this proposed mechanism. He will highlight new challenges\nand opportunities to learn more—both theoretically and methodologically—about interminority solidarity in politics. He concludes by discussing new research agendas to advance our understanding about interminority politics in a multiethnic democracy like the United States.\n\nThe RCGD Seminar Series on the Social Psychology of Systemic Racism meets Mondays from 3:30 to 5 at ISR Thompson 1430. When speaker permission is given\, events will be recorded and posted within a few weeks to YouTube.\n\nThe Social Psychology of Systemic Racism\nWhat are the points of connection between structures and individuals when we think about bias? In the Fall 2024 RCGD Seminar Series “The Social Psychology of Systemic Racism\,” an all-star lineup of behavioral and political psychologists will define what\, in their words\, makes systemic racism systemic\, and how extra-individual levels of analysis could be incorporated in social psychological theories and methods.\n\nGroup Dynamics Seminar Series\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology\n\nPérez Bio:\nEfrén Pérez is Full Professor of Political Science and Psychology at UCLA. His research centers on political psychology\, with specific interests in intergroup politics\, group identity\, language and political thinking\, implicit political cognition\, and psychometrics. He has published more than thirty articles in leading general science\, political science\, and psychological science journals\, including Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\, American Journal of Political Science\, Journal of Politics\, Social Psychological and Personality Science\, Political Behavior\, and Political Psychology. He is also the author of four books\, including Diversity’s Child: People of Color and the Politics of Identity (Chicago University Press) and Voicing Politics: How Language Shapes Public Opinion (Princeton University Press)\, which received the 2023 Robert E. Lane Best Book Award in Political Psychology from the American Political Science Association. In addition to his research\, Efrén directs the Race\, Ethnicity\, Politics\, and Society (REPS) Lab at UCLA.

By the middle-to-late first millennium BCE\, when these astronomers wrote down their descriptions of celestial phenomena in the form of omina\, reports\, or diaries\, they did so in the standard language of scholarship of the time — Babylonian\, or what we often call Akkadian. Or did they? Compared to other scholarly texts\, astronomical texts actually show a predilection for terminology and alternative written expressions that make these texts look more like a different language\, Sumerian\, a language that had fallen out of vernacular use more than 1\,000 years earlier. \nBy employing this technical\, almost specialized\, linguistic form\, these astronomers demonstrated a level of expertise that set them apart from other domains of scholarship and presented them as purveyors of scientific truth beyond terrestrial concerns.\n\nJay Crisostomo's research focuses on the languages and intellectual and social histories of the cuneiform cultures of the ancient Middle East. Crisostomo chooses to study and teach the ancient Middle East (roughly ancient Iraq and Syria) because of the vast amounts of contextualized data available mostly on hundreds of thousands of clay tablets of various kinds over three thousand years.

We then define a subvariety V(k\,n) of the Grassmannian Gr(k\,n) and show that the coefficient in front of a special Schubert class in the fundamental class of V(k\,n) counts the solutions to scattering correspondence component by component. Finally\, we study V(3\,n)\, giving its fundamental class and its ideal in Plücker coordinates.

Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.\n\n**This workshop is an updated version of Ginsberg’s long-standing Entering\, Engaging\, and Exiting (E3) session. If you’ve attended that session in the past\, you’ll gain additional knowledge from this session.**\n\nRegister for a Session Here: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/16509 UID:123162-21850378@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/123162 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Free,Ginsberg Center,Graduate Students,Leadership,Student Org,Undergraduate Students,Workshop LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240917T112606 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240923T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240923T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Zero cycles on a product of elliptic curves DESCRIPTION:Abstract: I will discuss some numerical evidence for part of the Bloch-Beilinson conjecture for zero cycles on a product of elliptic curves over a number field\, namely the injectivity of the Abel-Jacobi map modulo torsion. These examples were computed around ten years ago (in joint work with V. Srinivas) but never published. To a large extent\, this work has been superseded by recent work of Valia Gazaki and Jonathan Love\, nevertheless the original examples and methods (which are somewhat different) may be of some interest.
