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).

This workshop\, presented by the Mary A. Rackham Institute (MARI) mental health clinics\, is to help educate adults who suspect they may have ASD. The online workshop also explores when ASD testing is recommended\, what to expect with testing\, and resources for next steps. This is also a workshop for people who have loved ones they suspect may have undiagnosed ASD in adulthood.\n\nThe workshop is lead by a licensed\, clinical mental health professional. Participants can submit questions or topics of concern during registration and during the workshop via anonymous Q & A.\n\nWhile there are numerous sessions to choose from\, you only need to attend one session\, as the same material is presented each time.

Deeply contextualized insights into how ancient peoples perceived their worlds can result. In southern Africa’s most richly painted area – the Maloti-Drakensberg Mountains – spectacular images were being made just as the region experienced dynamic changes owing in part to climate. Responses of local foragers are evident across a range of cultural spheres\, including dramatic subsistence transformations. Here I explore how such changes articulated with ontological shifts in relation to the food quest. As desirable game declined and hunting windows narrowed\, I suggest that Neoglacial (∼3.5–2 kcal BP) foragers sought to manage scheduling and social conflicts through enhanced spiritual negotiation with non-human entities in the landscape. Facilitated by the supernaturally charged nature of their elevated cosmos\, this intensified spiritual labor found material expression\, I argue\, in an elaborate new style of painting. Where possible\, adopting emic perspectives rooted in what I call \"ecological ontology” is fundamental for decoding past hunter-gatherer lifeways.

Had it not been cancelled just two days before it was scheduled to occur on June 25th\, 2024\, it would have been the first visit to the museum by Mirziyoyev since he assumed the presidency in 2016. Rushed preparations initiated a host of changes inside the museum pertaining to its exhibitions. Most critically\, one month prior to the anticipated visit\, the museum closed to the public and all of its displays from the Stone Age to the 16th century were changed. \n\nI will touch on issues ranging from leaking ceilings to breaking objects\, as well as to the broader discussions and arguments that occurred in the museum over what a “modern” museum is supposed to be and what elements of the old exhibitions still fit the demands of current national narratives. In doing so\, I will show the museum’s close relationship to the state\, not only as the provider of financial funds\, but also\, in many ways\, as the museum’s main anticipated audience. With my dissertation focusing on the history of this museum from 1876 until the collapse of the Russian empire in 1917\, in this talk I will present a brief historical overview that will allow me to chart the museum’s navigation from the Tsarist period to the Soviet period\, and to the current moment.

DESCRIPTION:Did U.S. corporations embrace racial justice in reaction to the murder of George Floyd and mass Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests? Drawing on both network and organizational theories we conceptualize this as a problem of organizational decision making. We first document the range of responses by US Fortune 500 companies and the deploy latent class analysis (LCA) to categorize responses. Sixty percent of the Fortune 500 stayed silent and 21% made primarily symbolic responses. Right wing fears of a movement toward “woke” capitalism seem premature. On the other hand\, 19% of the Fortune 500 made substantial commitments of time and money to promote racial justice. We model this variation as a function of the attributes of internal decision makers and external audiences. Controlling for prior pro-social behavior and firm size\, we find that the strongest covariates to making a muscular response to racial justice claims came from firms whose DEI staff were central to the national network of DEI professionals and were led by politically liberal CEOs. Being a consumer brand has a weaker but statistically significant relationship with muscular responses. Having more Black executives in headquarters is associated with symbolic\, but not muscular or silent\, responses to BLM protest. Firms led by conservative CEOs were more likely to stay silent. Who has a seat at the table when corporations respond to cultural pressures matters a great deal. Internal and external audiences seem less important in this instance.

Phase synchronization is affected by spatial arrangement\, and spatial motion is affected by phase synchronization. Swarmalators have recently been realized in robotics labs\, and may also play a role in describing collective behavior of biological organisms. In this work I will describe the effects of time delay in interactions on collective dynamics of a population of swarmalators. Delay resulted in the appearance of new collective states. One such state is a pseudo-crystaline structure - in which swarmalators form a quasi-static cluster\, and another is a boiling state in which swarmalators near the boundary of the cluster perform convective motions. In both cases\, the route to these states takes place through an oscillatory transient in which the whole cluster “breathes”. Remarkably\, just a pair of nonlinear equations (in a system of N swarmalators) describes the behavior of the cluster during this transient. This system also exhibits an intriguing aging phenomenon. I will describe the specific mechanism by which the system ages - which involves gradual increase in the hexatic order parameter\, accompanied by a series of annihilations of coordination number defect pairs. \n\nContact: Evgeniy Khain (Oakland University) UID:121471-21846583@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121471 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241018T105332 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241025T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241025T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Arctic Curves of T-system with Slanted Initial Data (combinatorics seminar) DESCRIPTION:We study the T-system of type 𝐴∞\, also known as the octahedron recurrence/equation\, viewed as a 2 + 1-dimensional discrete evolution equation. Generalizing earlier work on arctic curves for the Aztec Diamond obtained from solutions of the octahedron recurrence with “flat\" initial data\, we consider initial data along parallel “slanted\" planes perpendicular to an arbitrary admissible direction (𝑟\, 𝑠\, 𝑡) in Z^3 . The corresponding solutions of the T-system are interpreted as partition functions of dimer models on some suitable “pinecone\" graphs introduced by Bousquet-Melou\, Propp\, and West in 2009. The T-system formulation and some exact solutions in uniform and periodic cases allow us to explore the scaling limit of the corresponding dimer models and to derive exact arctic curves separating the various phases of the system. This approach bypasses the standard general theory of dimers using the Kasteleyn matrix and uses instead the theory of Analytic Combinatorics in Several Variables.

Thus there are at most 3 points on such a curve in ℙⁿ_ℚ. In 1922\, Mordell conjectured that a similar result holds in general: if we take a complete smooth curve C of genus g>2 over a finite extension K of ℚ\, then the set C(K) of K−rational points is finite.\n\nWe will cover Gerd Faltings' proof of Mordell's conjecture\, now known as Faltings' Theorem. In broad strokes\, the K−rational points on the curve C correspond to abelian varieties over K of specified dimension and bad reduction. We discuss how to show only finitely many isomorphism classes of these abelian varieties exist\; this generalizes a known result for global fields of prime characteristic to characteristic zero.

The Dufek Intrusion of Antarctica is one of the largest layered intrusions\, intruded approximately 182 Myr ago during the breakup of Gondwana. It is rivaled in thickness only by the 2.05 Ma Bushveld Complex of South Africa and shows a similar progression in mineral compositions from primitive at the base to more evolved compositions at the uppermost contact with an overlying granophyre layer. This progression in mineral composition suggests that the Dufek magma chamber crystallized from the bottom to the top. In this talk\, I will present new high-precision U-Pb zircon ages throughout the 8+ km thick Dufek Intrusion magma chamber stratigraphy. The results are surprising - zircons from the bottom of the intrusion record systematically younger ages than those from the top. I will argue that zircons from layered mafic intrusions do not provide a record of high temperature crystallization\, but rather the ages reflect the solidification of interstitial melt in the magma chamber from the top down.

He specializes in psycholinguistics\, and his current NSF-funded research focuses on revealing how speakers assemble sentence structures in production in two different languages\, English and Japanese. Before joining UMass\, he was at the Department of Psychology at the University of California\, San Diego\, working with Victor Ferreira and Tamar Gollan. Before that\, he did his Ph. D with Colin Phillips in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Maryland\, College Park.\n\nTitle: Building sentence structures in speaking\nAbstract: We have theories of grammatical knowledge and theories of how people produce sentences. These two theories\, however\, are not well integrated. In this talk\, I will attempt to present an integrated theory of structure building in sentence production and grammatical knowledge. I will discuss our group’s recent research on how speakers formulate various types of sentence structure that played central roles in the development of grammatical theories\, such as relative clauses (e.g.\, the cat that the girl thinks the dog chased)\, wh-questions (e.g.\, what did the girl think the dog chased?)\, raising (e.g.\, the girl seems to like the dog)\, and control (e.g.\, the girl wants to hug the dog). Based on the results from these studies\, I will argue that there is a surprising parallelism between the notion of locality in grammatical theories and planning units in theories of sentence production. I will attempt to outline a theoretical framework that might allow us to integrate various findings from syntax\, sentence production\, and possibly\, sentence comprehension.\n\nThis event will be hybrid held in East Hall 4448 & Zoom.

Cherry\, Ph.D.\nDepartment of Biomedical Engineering\nDepartment of Radiology\nUniversity of California\, Davis\, USA\n\nPositron emission tomography (PET) imaging is an important clinical tool for staging and monitoring treatment response in cancer patients and has a broad range of other diagnostic and research applications. Roughly 10 million diagnostic PET scans are performed worldwide\, annually and the number is growing quite rapidly.\n\nAdvances in radiation detector technology have led to new generations of PET systems that demonstrate a quantum leap in imaging performance\, and in doing so open new opportunities for the application of PET in biomedical research and in the clinic. State-of-the-art total body and brain PET scanners will be reviewed.\n\nCurrent innovations in radiation detector research offer the prospect of future opportunities to further improve the performance of PET scanners\, with a specific focus on time-of-flight performance. Examples include fast timing from dense room-temperature semiconductors and the use of promptCherenkov luminescence as a fast-timing trigger. The first steps towards detectors capable of real-time and reconstruction-free imaging of positron-labeled radiopharmaceuticals will be presented. Such systems would approach the theoretical performance limits for imaging radiotracers and permit novel imaging geometries\, providing an exquisitely sensitive and quantitative imaging tool for biomedical research in human subjects.\n\n\n\nBIO\n\nSimon R. Cherry\, Ph.D. received his B.Sc.(Hons) in Physics with Astronomy from University College London in 1986 and a Ph.D. in Medical Physics from the Institute of Cancer Research\, University of London in 1989. In 1993\, he became a faculty member in the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology at UCLA. Simon joined UC Davis in 2001\, and is currently Distinguished Research Professor in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology.\n\nSimon’s research interests center around biomedical imaging. His major accomplishments have been in developing systems for positron emission tomography\, for example as co-leader of the EXPLORER consortium which developed the world’s first total-body PET scanner. He also has contributed to detector technology innovations for PET\, conducted early biomedical studies using Cerenkovluminescence\, and developed the first proof-of-concept hybrid PET/MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) systems. \n\nSimon is an elected fellow of six professional societies and a Member of the National Academy of Engineering and National Academy of Inventors. He has received several international awards including the Society of nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Cassen Prize in 2022. He served as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Physics in Medicine and Biology from 2011-2020. Simon is the author of more than 300 peer-reviewed journal articles\, review articles and book chapters in the field of biomedical imaging. He is also lead author of the widely-used textbook “Physics in Nuclear Medicine”.

He was born in Halifax\, Nova Scotia\, but has lived most of his life in southern California\, and those geographic poles are quite likely responsible for his unhinged genius. With a cult following that includes fellow musicians\, regular folks and festival goers who stumble onto his performances\, there’s no common denominator to Steve’s fans. Steve toured and recorded with San Diego cult favorites The Rugburns (they still play annual sold-out reunion shows). But it was through his creative partnership with Jewel that he vaulted into the national spotlight\; co-writing her multiplatinum Billboard Hot 100-busting smash\, “You Were Meant For Me\,” and continues to work with her to this day.\n\nOver the years\, Steve has built a fascinating solo catalog. No Depression crowned him\, \"A sardonic provocateur with a lighthearted acoustic-driven wit\, suggesting at times a sunnier\, less psychedelic Todd Snider\, or maybe a less wan\, washed Jackson Brown.” Among other collaborations\, GRAMMY-winning bluegrass phenom Billy Strings tapped him to co-write “Leaders” on 2021’s Renewal and he’s co-written with Molly Tuttle\, Sierra Hull\, Nicki Bluhm\, Oliver Wood and even Mojo Nixon.\n\nSteve’s newest album is Stardust & Satellites\, produced by Oliver Wood and Jano Rix of The Wood Brothers.

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.

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:84303-21621426@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:20241026T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241026T170000 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).

In 2020\, Lin Hwai-min handed the artistic reins of Cloud Gate to Cheng Tsung-lung\, whose work 13 Tongues recalls his mother’s stories about a legendary street artist in the 1960s. Cheng transforms his childhood memories of Taoist rites and the bustling street life of Bangka (艋舺)\, the oldest district in Taipei\, into a dreamlike fantasy world. Beginning and ending with the sound of a single hand bell\, the evocative musical score interweaves Taiwanese folk songs\, Taoist chant\, and electronica to bring us on a journey from the ancient to the contemporary.

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:84303-21621427@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:20241027T120004 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241027T111100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241027T121100 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).

He has independently sold over 150\,000 albums on his record label\, Honest Ninja Music. His video clips circulate virally at astonishing speed\, with over 45 million YouTube views to date.\nDave Kirby from the Boulder Weekly says “Possessing a staggering acoustic technique\, on both right and left sides\, Bundy has made his reputation as a next generation solo guitarist of serious repute.”\n\nAudiocast Magazine from Austin\, TX agrees: “Bundy’s live show is without a doubt an event that needs to be witnessed rather than told about. With such a jaw-dropping performance\, Bundy’s live concert is a slap in the face that would leave a palm print on the memory of everyone in the audience.”\n\nhttps://tracebundy.com/ UID:122146-21848373@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122146 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241027T180021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241028T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241028T190000 SUMMARY:Other:Big 10 Championship DESCRIPTION:CWPA Big 10 Championship at Michigan State University UID:127501-21859234@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127501 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Michigan State University CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241215T120008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241028T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241028T235959 SUMMARY:Meeting:Check Out the P4P Public Calendar Here DESCRIPTION:bit.ly/p4pumcalendar UID:127131-21858486@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127131 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Online CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241028T120015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241028T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241028T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Nickerson DESCRIPTION:regatta UID:127510-21859247@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127510 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Bacow Sailing Pavilion CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240916T181519 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241028T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241028T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:9 Days of Painting Early Voting with Ayla Soofi DESCRIPTION:Join to create a collaborative window painting for everyone to encourage voting early.

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.

A little thought reveals that some of these concepts seem to be much more complicated than others. For example\, while in calculus one learns to approximately \"check\" if a function is continuously differentiable (just draw a graph and zoom in!)\, it seems absolutely hopeless to check plain differentiability in any systematic way.\n\nThis talk will give a gentle introduction to Descriptive Set Theory\, a subfield of mathematical logic providing the tools to make such statements precise\, which can be variously thought of as \"infinitary propositional logic\"\, \"low-level set theory\"\, \"real analysis without approximations\"\, or \"computability modulo countable uncomputability\".

In this talk\, I will discuss two key areas\, with a focus on the challenges in modeling the spectral energy distributions in the JWST era. First\, a central science goal of JWST is finding the first galaxies\, which often requires modeling of photometric data to select candidates for spectroscopic follow-up. I will show the modeling work that turns the nearby cluster A2744 to one of deepest views of our universe\, as part of the UNCOVER survey. The resulting rich\, public dataset\, reveals stellar populations across 0.2 < z < 13\, and helps to lead to the discovery of the surprisingly large galaxies at z > 12. I will also briefly discuss how this exquisite dataset is poised to redefine our census of galaxy populations. Second\, the optical/IR sensitivity of JWST has led to the discovery of compact red sources\, initially interpreted as apparently massive galaxies at z > 7. This interpretation yields a strongly accelerated time line compared to standard models of galaxy growth. Yet\, major uncertainties remain about their nature due to the limited photometric data. I will present detailed studies of these so-far mysterious \"little red dots\"\, enabled by the spectroscopic data from the RUBIES program. Remarkably\, we find clear signatures of evolved stellar populations\, the formation histories of which extend hundreds of millions of years into the past in galaxies only 600–800 Myr after the big bang. Confoundingly\, some of them exhibit broad Balmer emission lines\, suggesting that dust-reddened AGNs contribute to\, or even dominate\, the spectral energy distributions red-ward of ~rest 0.6μm. I will explore potential origins and evolutionary tracks\, from the cores of massive galaxies to low-mass galaxies with over-massive black holes\, and conclude with remaining puzzles and possible future directions to form a complete physical picture of these intriguing systems.

American universities are more apt to embrace racial diversity because it serves institutional goals\, such as enhancement of group learning and corresponding cognitive skills (i.e.\, institutional rationales)\, rather than because it manifests institutional values\, such as fairness (i.e.\, moral rationales). Our research suggests that instrumental rationales do not reflect the preferences of those they are purported to serve\, low-status racial minorities. Rather\, they comport with the preferences of White Americans\, especially political conservatives. Further\, embracing instrumental rationales in the absence of moral rationales is associated with negative outcomes for low-status racial minorities.\n\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 UID:124907-21854021@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124907 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Diversity,Diversity Equity And Inclusion,Psychology,Social Sciences,Sociology LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241001T115818 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241028T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241028T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Caswell Diabetes Institute Seminar Series DESCRIPTION:The CDI Seminar Series engages those interested and working in diabetes-\, obesity-\, metabolism-\, nutrition-\, and complications-related research and care across UM and worldwide.

Through memories of the Great Textile Strike of 1982–1983\, this talk looks for the truths within “fictions” told by Dhanraj workers. Through “untrue” stories\, she engages the notion of an impossible subject and explore the crisis of an impossible story: what do anthropologists do with informant testimonies we know to be factually incorrect? How do we collect\, interpret\, and use informant lies\, manipulations\, and untruths as critical archival material? She attempts to answer these questions through her relationship with someone she calls Kishan\, a North Indian textile worker from Bihar. In doing so\, she shows what it looks like to live precariously in a space of ruination.\n\nMaura Finkelstein is a writer\, ethnographer\, and former associate professor of anthropology.

Using this description\, we produce elements of the depth-r center by constructing a map to the depth- r center from a certain subalgebra ( which we call stable functions) of the algebra of invariant functions on the r-th Moy Prasad filtration quotient of hyperspecial parahorics. We use these elements to attach an invariant to each depth-r irreducible representation\, and show that this is equal to the semi-simple part of minimal K-types contained in the irreducible representation. This talk is based on a joint work with Tsao-Hsien Chen.

Upon tuning the parameters of this model\, one can realize certain `higher-order' eigenvalue correlations at the endpoints of the density of eigenvalues. In the 1-matrix model\, these higher-order correlation kernels can be written in terms of special solutions of the Painlevé I and II hierarchies. We refer to such special tunings as critical phenomena.\n\nThe 2-matrix model is an extension of the 1-matrix model\, which came to be well-studied in part because it admits a much richer class of critical phenomena. In this talk\, I will survey some of the conjectures regarding these critical phenomena from the physics literature\, and discuss some of the physical implications of these results. In particular\, I will discuss some forthcoming work (joint with Maurice Duits and Seung-Yeop Lee) regarding a special critical phenomenon in the 2-matrix model\, which has implications in the theory of the Ising minimal model coupled to topological gravity.\n\nEmail eblackst@umich.edu for the zoom link.

This talk\, by contrast\, draws on Penelope Papalias’s experience as a founding member of the initiative dëcoloиıze hellάş and training in historical anthropology at the University of Michigan to make a case for the hidden centrality of coloniality and white supremacy to myths of Greek nation and modernity. Drawing on two ethnographic case studies\, Professor Papailias uses a critical keyword of the decolonial movement\, defacement\, to make a case for the historic whitening (not inherent whiteness) of the Mediterranean given the connectedness of modern Greece to the project of European modernity.\n\nPenelope Papailias is Αssociate Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Thessaly\, where she directs the Pelion Summer Lab for Cultural Theory and Experimental Humanities. Having grown up in New York City\, the child of a Greek immigrant\, and studied English literature at Harvard (B.A) and cultural anthropology at the University of Michigan (Ph.D.) before returning/migrating to her father’s homeland\, she is especially critical of the role of knowledge production in national mythologies and narratives of settler colonial states. Her research centers on historical culture\, the politics of memory and monuments\; media events\, affective networks and witnessing of violence/death of the Other in/as the public sphere\; necropolitics\, ecocide\, decoloniality and black geographies in the Greek context\; experimental pedagogies and public anthropology. Among her publications are Genres of Recollection: Archival Poetics and Modern Greece (Palgrave Macmillian\, 2005)\, Digital Ethnography (Kallipos\, 2015\, with P. Petridis)\, A Call to Rasanblaj: Black Feminist Futures & Ethnographic Aesthetics (ed.\, Rosa Luxemburg Greece\, 2023) and Greek Colonialities (ed.\, Rosa Luxemburg Greece).

In reduced plabic graphs\, trip permutations both tell us important information about the postroid cell each plabic graph corresponds to and give us face labels which correspond to clusters in the cluster algebra on positroid varieties. A natural question is: Do non-reduced plabic graphs also have nice combinatorial structures on their trip permutations? I will study a special class of type A non-reduced plabic graphs called \"Plabic fences with legs\,\" whose trip permutations have at most 2 disjoint cycles. I will then give a nice way to check if any given cycle arises from the trip permutation of some plabic fence with legs.

Their partnership began with a chance encounter in Los Angeles in 2013\, when Lindsay boldly told Chris\, \"Everyone is singing your music wrong.\" Intrigued\, Chris wanted to explore this ideafurther. Lindsay's 2014 performance of Chris's songs \"I will learn to love a person\" confirmed his belief that a great collaborator could teach him something profound about his own music. Since then\, they have worked together on two GRAMMY-nominated albums and numerous other projects.Their enduring relationship\, characterized by mutual respect and honesty\, serves as a model for creating new music. It demonstrates how a composer-performer partnership can sustain a life in music.

The next wave of emerging technologies\, including artificial intelligence (AI)\, is fueled by the unprecedented amount and variety of available data. Data and data-enabled technologies promise to reshape research and discovery\, as well as how we live and how society functions. ADSA’24\, hosted by the Michigan Institute for Data Science\, will draw our focus to humanity in data and AI – humans as data producers and data engineers\, humans as AI designers and developers\, humans represented in data\, and humans as data and AI users and as the beneficiaries or victims of data and AI. We will explore the central role of humans in the data and AI revolution: to maximize its benefits for research and innovation\; to ensure that the use of data and technologies and the insights they generate are aligned with our values and priorities\; and to ensure that the future workforce are prepared to continue discovery and innovation.
