Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race\, spirituality\, history\, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter\, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown\, which is evident in his work. \n\nMorris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age\, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However\, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother\, Dell Pryor\, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades\, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans\, Hugh Grannum\, Lester Sloan\, Al Loving\, Gilda Snowden\, Shirley Woodson\, Anthony Barboza\, and Eric Pryor among others. \n\nIn 2008\, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit)\, a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society. \n\nIn 2019\, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage\, photo montage\, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works\, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

All genocide starts with a destructive ideology and followed afterwards by denial. This talk will re-examine the concepts of genocide ideology and denial\, how they are linked and how they contributed to the killings of Tutsi from 1959 up to 1994. Available literature as well as recent cases will be thoroughly analyzed\, both at local and international level\, to understand different forms and trends of genocide ideology and denial\, with specific emphasis on the Rwandan case.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information Data\, Archives\, and Information Seminar\; African Studies Center\; Museum Studies Program\; Ethics\, Society and Computing\; and Franklin Innovator Residency Fund.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nWith a PhD in education from the University of Geneva\, I have substantial experience working with the United Nations\, international non-governmental organizations\, non-profit organizations\, and governments on projects related to equitable and sustainable education curricula. As the Director General of the Research and Documentation Center on Genocide at the Rwanda National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG)\, I managed and led research projects as well as designed\, implemented\, monitored\, and assessed projects related to the Genocide against the Tutsi. Key projects included the digitization of forty-five million pages and four thousand audio-visual materials from Rwanda’s Gacaca Courts\, the preservation of textiles at the Nyamata genocide memorial site\, the preservation of bodies at the Murambi genocide memorial site\, and the preservation of artifacts in six other national genocide memorial sites in Rwanda. Between 2013 and 2015\, I also participated in a team responsible for designing Rwanda’s new national education curriculum for history and civic education. I am currently a Consultant with the International Labour Organization (ILO) for their Accelerator Lab 8.7 Program\, which provides funding and support to international organizations with innovative solutions to tackle child labor\, forced labor\, and human trafficking.

Yet that idea was developed much later than commonly assumed. Debates leading up to the Clayton Act of 1914 form an important episode leading up to that contested development. Professor Paul will discuss her draft chapter\, part of a larger book project\, that considers this episode in the context of surrounding developments in the law\, in economic thought\, and in the organization of economic activity. A less-familiar view of competition and markets (from the modern perspective —one focused on distinguishing between fair and unfair competition—also had an important role in the debates leading to Progressive Era antitrust legislation. This view of markets acknowledges that competition is always channeled in particular qualitative directions—guided by\, among other things\, law—and is also always accompanied by particular\, legally-conditioned forms of economic coordination.

This study examines the role of outgroup empathy as a potential driver of support for restrictive voting laws and voter suppression efforts. Evidence from two national surveys indicates that outgroup empathy may boost support for race-based electoral justice\, above and beyond the influence of partisanship\, ideology\, and a host of socio-demographic influences. As predicted\, the effects of group empathy are conditional on political sophistication: Those most likely to be aware that these laws target minority group voters are also those who bring outgroup empathy to bear on their policy views. The findings suggest that group empathy—especially among the most politically sophisticated—can catalyze opposition to restrictive voting laws.

Moreover\, when researching this cultural adaptation process\, scholars have faced their own challenges as well. This presentation highlights some of the peculiar – and in some ways absurd – dilemmas and limitations that psychologists have faced when attempting to study Arab American acculturation from the theoretical frameworks and methodologies dominant in the traditional psychological acculturation literature.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Mona M. Amer\, PhD\, is a Professor of Psychology and was founding chair of the Department of Psychology at the American University in Cairo\, where she has received the university’s annual teaching and service awards. She completed her doctorate at the University of Toledo and postdoctoral fellowship as an APA Minority Fellow at Yale University School of Medicine. Her work revolves around ethnic/racial disparities in behavioral health\, with specializations in the Arab and Muslim minorities. As a clinical-community psychologist she is interested in risk and protective factors that impact disparities\, and ways to eliminate inequities through culturally competent services\, community-based programming\, and social policy. Her publications include two articles in American Psychologist and two landmark co-edited Routledge books: Handbook of Arab American Psychology and Counseling Muslims: Handbook of Mental Health Issues and Interventions. Dr. Amer co-founded and served as the first elected president of the American Arab\, Middle Eastern\, and North African Psychological Association (AMENA-Psy).

This paper points out that in such models the issue of nonstandard inference can arise even when the instruments are strong. Moreover\, this occurs at very important points of parameter space\; for instance\, when the coefficient on the mismeasured regressor in a nonlinear regression is close to zero. The root of the problem is weak identification of the nuisance parameters\, such as the distribution of the measurement error or control variable. These parameters are weakly identified when the mismeasured variable has small effect on the outcomes. As a result\, the estimators of the parameters of interest generally are not asymptotically normal and the standard tests and confidence sets can be invalid. We illustrate how this issue arises in several estimation approaches. This complication can be particularly problematic when the nuisance parameters are infinite-dimensional.\n\n Making use of the specific structure of the EIV problem\, the paper proposes simple approaches to conducting uniformly valid inference about the parameter of interest. The highlevel conditions are illustrated by a detailed analysis of a semiparametric approach to EIV in the general moment condition settings.

However\, the more ambitious the mission goals and the farther exploration takes us from Earth\, the more ingenious\, cost-effective\, and safe solutions need to be engineered to enable such missions. To handle the increasing complexity\, the next generation of space missions will require autonomous human-level decision-making in highly unknown or perturbed environments. \n\nIn this talk\, I will present the prospects and challenges for developing autonomous and robotics systems that can dynamically evolve and modify with the environment. The talk will highlight how the system-level impact of autonomy integration and its combination with optimal control allows for an intelligent\, dynamic\, autonomous system capable of making rational decisions that consider both the safety and performance of the specific executed operations and the overall performance of the mission. \n\nThis approach is used to advance aerobraking\, an atmospheric process used to slow down and insert a spacecraft into a low orbit around a planet\, showing dramatic advancement in flight performance\, risk\, and cost. Finally\, a generalization of the findings is presented in terms of necessary improvements for designing environment-aware decision-making algorithms\, and the opportunities autonomy will provide for the next generation of space missions.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Giusy Falcone is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. She works on trajectory optimization for space applications in the RExLab group under the guidance of Prof. Zachary Manchester. In May 2022\, she earned a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the supervision of Prof. Zachary Putnam. Her expertise lies in hypersonic and space systems\; space guidance\, navigation\, and control\; flight mechanics\; mission design\; trajectory optimization\; artificial intelligence\; and autonomous systems. Her research explores innovative techniques to enable low-cost\, autonomous space missions capable of reasoning and reacting safely in a changing environment.

During his first years of adolescence\, Muzamil grows up like other children\, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19\, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.\n\nFilm Facts & Background:\nSince few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956\, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

This process is facilitated at the graft endothelial surface\, where inflamed endothelial cells (ECs) upregulate adhesion molecules and recruit effector cells of the host immune system. To combat this dysfunctional inflammation locally and with more impact than globally administered therapies\, anti-inflammatory agents can be administered directly to the graft endothelium. We have designed a strategy for local and sustained delivery of these agents using molecularly-targeted polymer nanoparticles (NPs) during a period of ex vivo normothermic machine perfusion (EVNMP) of the organ. I will present several approaches for therapeutic delivery using polymeric NPs as well as strategies to direct NPs using molecular targets to the ECs of interest. We have discovered that rapid accumulation of NPs on ECs relies on both the density and accessibility of the potential ligands\, and that these parameters can be measured directly in the relevant human vessel setting. The experiments we have conducted within these platforms are being used to develop a high throughput preclinical approach to optimize immune therapy for local and robust treatment in human organ transplant.\n\nBio: I joined the faculty at Villanova University in the fall of 2022 in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. I am continuing my research into NP-based therapeutic delivery to human vasculature and integrating these strategies with tissue-engineering to create tools for long-term immune modulation. Specifically\, materials that provide support for tissue regrowth while temporarily inhibiting inflammation-related injury\, thus reducing the burden of chronic inflammation. My work presented here today was done as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Biomedical Engineering at Yale University as part of Dr. W. Mark Saltzman’s research group. In my graduate work\, I developed vascular\, tissue engineered constructs using a combination of biological and synthetic materials at the University of Maryland with Dr. John Fisher in Bioengineering.

I draw on ethnographic research that I conducted between 2016 and 2017 at the Desert Echo Facility (pseudonym)\, a state prison in the American Southwest that holds individuals from minimum to high-security levels. Some incarcerated people feel supposedly inanimate objects\, such as walls and floors\, moving\, while others feel vibrations moving across the compound. For many of the incarcerated\, physical movement signifies aliveness – meaning that incarceration forces them to question if they are less alive than the “inanimate” materials that confine them. Others understand these movements as the direct violence of the state that represent purposeful disruptions to the ways they construct relations. In this context\, incarcerated peoples’ alive status is no longer a given and their relations no longer assumed to be inherent and ongoing\, but rather\, processes to be negotiated within criminal punishment systems. I focus on what these movements mean to incarcerated people\, and how they situate these movements within often competing ontological frameworks informed by histories of and ongoing settler violence in what came to be known as the United States. \n\nContent warning: There are examples of physical violence\, carceral trauma\, and feelings of self-harm in this presentation.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nDr. Macario Garcia is a cultural anthropologist with a focus on mobility\, animacy\, incarceration\, and prison-industrial complex abolition. They earned their PhD from the University of Virginia and MA degrees from University of Virginia and American Public University. They are currently partnering with incarcerated people to create maps of carceral migration in the United States and to document oral histories across correctional landscapes.

Others understand these movements as the direct violence of the state that represent purposeful disruptions to the ways they construct relations. In this context\, incarcerated peoples’ alive status is no longer a given and their relations no longer assumed to be inherent and ongoing\, but rather\, processes to be negotiated within criminal punishment systems. I focus on what these movements mean to incarcerated people\, and how they situate these movements within often competing ontological frameworks informed by histories of and ongoing settler violence in what came to be known as the United States. Content warning: There are examples of physical violence\, carceral trauma\, and feelings of self-harm in this presentation. \n UID:104609-21809725@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/104609 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Lane Hall 2239 & Zoom CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20221213T150207 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T163000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CGIS Virtual First Step Sessions DESCRIPTION:CGIS offers First Steps sessions virtually (via Zoom) every Monday and Thursday from 4:00pm to 4:30pm during the academic year while classes are in session\, with the exception of holidays.\n\nFirst Step sessions are a great opportunity to learn more about the application process prior to meeting with an advisor.

For instance\, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) requires that molecules interact with the metal surface at short distances of 2 nm or less without disrupting the surface atoms. In this presentation\, anisotropic nanostructures such as gold nanostars will be used in conjunction with SERS to detect trace molecules. Two challenges and approaches to better predict structure-function behavior of noble metal nanoparticles will be discussed. A combination of experimental measurements that provide molecular-level insight coupled with semi-empirical modeling will be shown to improve the systematic use of gold nanostars by providing a method for predicting the stability and hence\, the fate of nanomaterials in various environmental conditions. After these considerations\, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy and SERS will be exploited for the direct\, qualitative and quantitative detection of small biologically relevant molecules. In the future\, these results could be expanded for different nanomaterial shapes\, compositions\, and molecular targets.\nAmanda Haes (University of Iowa) UID:97042-21793744@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/97042 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220822T155024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Hopwood Tea DESCRIPTION:The Hopwood Program is pleased to announce the return of Hopwood Teas for the 2022-23 academic year.

We use nonlinear ordinary differential equations to mathematically model these processes in the deterministic regime. If a given process occurs at disparate time-scales\, we can further reduce the number of equations to obtain a quasi-steady-state approximation of the system. In this talk\, we consider a significant mechanism in chemical kinetics called the Michaelis–Menten reaction and its different quasi-steady-state reductions. We focus on the challenges faced in applying classical reduction theory on the system and the conditions under which its reductions are valid in the stochastic regime. We make use of a stochastic simulation algorithm called the Gillespie algorithm to demonstrate the accuracy of the reduced systems and to disprove a commonly-accepted qualifier for the validity of the stochastic approximation.

We show that although the autocrat always wants to co-opt the military\, this is not necessarily true of the clerics. Exclusive co-option of the military obtains where the loyalty of the autocrat’s army is strong while the organizational strength of religious movements is rather low. Radical institutional reforms can then be implemented. Empirically\, the dominant regime in contemporary Muslim countries is the regime of double co-option where the autocrat resorts to a double-edged tactic: pleasing the official clerics by slowing the pace of reforms\, and ensuring the loyalty of the military so as to put down clerics-led rebellions.

Specifically\, we develop a method based on the sequential quadratic programming paradigm that employs variance reduction in the gradient approximations. Under reasonable assumptions\, we prove that a measure of first-order stationarity evaluated at the iterates generated by our proposed algorithm converges to zero in expectation from arbitrary starting points\, for both constant and adaptive step size strategies. Finally\, we demonstrate the practical performance of our proposed algorithm on constrained binary classification problems that arise in machine learning.

As Cheech himself jests\, “people know me from the womb to the tomb.\" Widely acknowledged as a cultural icon\, he is perhaps best known as one half of the hilariously irreverent\, satirical\, counterculture comedy duo Cheech &\; Chong\, which found commercial and cultural success with their stand up routines\, studio recordings\, and feature films. He has also voiced characters in several Disney films\, including Oliver &\; Company\, The Lion King\, the Cars series\, and Coco.\nIn addition to a successful life in entertainment\, Cheech Marin is recognized today as a preeminent advocate for Chicano art. In the mid-1980’s\, he began developing what is now arguably the finest private collection of Chicano art. In addition to artwork loans to numerous institutions\, this notable collection has been featured in over a dozen exhibitions organized and shown at more than 50 museums in the U.S. Comprising mostly paintings\, followed by drawings\, prints\, mixed-media artworks\, sculptures\, and photography\, the collection now serves as the core of The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art &\; Culture of Riverside Art Museum\, which opened in June 2022. A long-term goal of “The Cheech” is to supplement and expand the collection with Chicano artists\, media\, and subject matter not currently included through acquisitions and donations from artists and their estates\, art collectors\, dealers\, and institutions.\nCheech was born Richard Marin in South Central Los Angeles and was an Angeleno until a move to Canada\, where he serendipitously met Tommy Chong. He moved back to Los Angeles with Chong and their comedy duo proved entertainment gold. Six of their albums went gold\, four were nominated for Grammys\, and their Los Cochinos won the 1973 Grammy for Best Comedy Recording. The critically acclaimed duo made a fluid transition to films\, starring in eight features together. Their first -- Up In Smoke -- was the highest grossing comedy of 1978\, topping $100 million at the box office.\n\nFree of charge: use \"Related Link\" on right for complete details.

Personal info is recorded: height\, weight\, etc. In the process\, their humanity is denied.\n\nThis exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison.

While the month is federally recognized in May\, the campus community celebrates the month from mid-March to mid-April to align with the academic calendar. To celebrate the Pacific Islander (or\, Oceanian) community\, we also host PI Heritage Week dedicated to the histories\, heritages\, communities\, and identities of the Oceanian community. \n\nThe kick-off is expected to take place at 6:30 pm on March 9th\, 2023 at the Michigan Room in the Michigan League. This year our theme is Generational Change and Healing. Our Planning Committee selected this theme after conversations around wanting to build toward unity and increase self-awareness within our communities. The historical resilience of both the Asian American and Oceanian communities are clear and\, despite the violence we have faced and continue to face\, we choose instead to center our healing. Our communities often draw from inherited knowledge and wisdom\, invoking inspiration and a push for change in the younger generations and generations to come. This heritage month\, we hope to reinforce our healing by hosting events and conversations that build\, uplift\, and challenge our communities.\n\nIf you are interested in tabling and showcasing your art at the kick off\, please submit the form here: https://forms.gle/QdYmVXdqragyhMdE9\n\nKeep up with us on instagram @AA.PIHM\n\nPlease email Aia Hawari (aiah@umich.edu) with any questions or concerns you may have.

It is an age-old dream. Google Books and HathiTrust have endeavored to fulfill it in the modern age. They are now well-established digital archives\, used by citizens\, scholars\, and students from around the world. The path to their creation was filled with aspirations and visions\, obstacles and hurdles\, negotiations and compromises. And the University of Michigan was at the center of these and other efforts in library digitization. Please join us for discussion with a panel of individuals who were intimately involved in the process: Paul Courant\, who as U-M Provost at the time shaped a visionary response to the opportunities of digitization and Google in particular\; Wendy Pradt Lougee\, who as head of the Graduate Library and of Digital Library Services spearheaded electronic access and nurtured innovative approaches to it\; John Wilkin\, a leader in digital humanities who provided leadership in negotiating critical understandings and agreements concerning usage of digital material\; and Roger Schonfeld\, co-author of Along Came Google: A History of Library Digitization\, which gives a comprehensive account of this important development in the history of modern access to knowledge.\n\nAs with all events at the Detroit Observatory\, visitors are invited to tour the Observatory after the event\, with observing if the weather permits.\n\nPaul Courant is the Edward M. Gramlich Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of Economics and Public Policy\, Harold T. Shapiro Collegiate Professor Emeritus of Public Policy\, AND Arthur F. Thurnau Professor Emeritus of Economics and Information at the University of Michigan. Among many roles at U-M\, Courant has served as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs\, as university librarian and dean of libraries\, and as director of the Institute of Public Policy Studies (predecessor of the Ford School). His academic work has recently focused on economic and policy questions relating to universities\, libraries and archives\, and the effects of new information technologies. He was a founding board member of both the HathiTrust Digital Library and the Digital Public Library of America.\n\nWendy Pradt Lougee served as University Librarian and Dean of Libraries\, and McKnight Presidential Professor at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities\, retiring in 2020. Prior to her appointment at the University of Minnesota in 2002\, Lougee held several positions at the University of Michigan over a 20-year period\, including Associate Director for Digital Library Services. Her work in launching and developing a digital library program at Michigan was recognized with the American Library Association’s Hugh Atkinson Award. Her research and publications have focused on digital library development\, information economics\, assessment of research behavior\, virtual organizations\, and e-research.\n\nRoger C. Schonfeld is the vice president of organizational strategy for ITHAKA and of Ithaka S+R’s libraries\, scholarly communication\, and museums program. With Deanna Marcum\, he wrote Along Came Google: A History of Library Digitization (Princeton University Press\, 2021)\, examining structural impediments to digital strategy and the role of an outside catalyst in fostering digitization among research libraries. Roger was previously at The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and currently serves board member for the Center for Research Libraries.\n\nJohn Wilkin is the Chief Executive Officer of Lyrasis. Prior to joining Lyrasis\, Wilkin served as the Dean of Libraries at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign from 2013-2022\, as well as UIUC’s Interim Provost from 2017-2018. He was the founding executive director of HathiTrust and served in that capacity from 2008 until 2013. Over the course of his career at the Universities of Michigan and Virginia\, Wilkin was an early leader in the development of digital libraries\, focusing on combining large-scale discovery with preservation strategies. He collaborated in creating the first legal agreement for the Google Books project. His focus on copyright and preservation played a pivotal role in HathiTrust’s Fair Use strategy\, which was successfully defended in court and underpins HathiTrust today.

In some languages like English and Spanish\, sentences with two expressions specifying quantity\, or quantifiers (for instance\, ‘every’\, ‘some’\, and ‘a’)\, are syntactically ambiguous\, meaning their structure permits two possible interpretations (see example 1). Although the construction is ambiguous\, research suggests that speakers of these languages tend to prefer one interpretation that is more instinctive. Furthermore\, some studies suggest that bilinguals may have a different intuitions of the sentence interpretation for each of their languages (Lee\, 2009\; Scontras et al.\, 2017). Importantly\, language dominance\, language proficiency and order of acquisition have been suggested as possible predictors of whether bilinguals do have a divergence between their two languages.\n\n(1) A person bought every book\n\nInterpretation 1: Say there are 10 books and all were bought by a single person\n\n Interpretation 2: Say there are 10 books and each was bought by a different person\n\nTo date\, research has not investigated how Spanish/English bilinguals interpret syntactically ambiguous sentences of quantifier scope. The current study therefore advances this research and also asks whether Spanish/English bilinguals show divergence in the two languages. Furthermore\, this work attempts to determine whether a given factor (language proficiency\, order of acquisition\, etc) better predicts divergence in the two languages\, if divergence arises. To answer these questions\, an experimental study is being conducted with 60 Mexican-Spanish/English heritage bilinguals. Participants complete three tasks: Judging whether a sentence is true or false to determine how instinctive the two possible interpretations are\, (2) a proficiency test in both languages\, and (3) a language background questionnaire to collect linguistic information of the participants. Pending complete data collection\, t-test and correlation analyses will be used to examine the results.

Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

A cast of Gen Z subjects\, helmed by influencer Feroza Aziz\, remains at its center\, making this one of the most needed and empathetic films exploring what it means to be a digital native.\n\nDIRECTOR & PRODUCER: SHALINI KANTAYYA\nEmmy-nominated filmmaker Shalini Kantayya directs fiction and nonfiction films that artfully marry the future of science with the future of story. Her latest film\, TikTok\, Boom\, was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and was official selection at SXSW. Her critically-acclaimed 2020 Sundance film\, Coded Bias\, was broadcast nationally on PBS’s Independent Lens and globally on Netflix in April 2021.

Survivors Saving Survivors: Photographing the Ukrainian Refugee Experience in Poland DESCRIPTION:In April and June 2022\, at the invitation of JCC Krakow\, Chuck Fishman traveled to Poland to document the JCC and the Jewish community’s commitment to helping Ukrainian refugees fleeing their war-torn country. What he witnessed and captured in a series of gripping photographs is *tikkun olam*\, a central concept in Judaism that denotes activities that repair and improve the world we live in. The exhibit shifts the lens away from the horror the refugees have endured to focus instead on human goodness and how it can overcome lingering evil.\n\nIn his 45-year career\, freelance photographer Chuck Fishman has focused on social and political issues with a strong humanistic concern. His work on Jewish life in Poland\, begun in 1975\, continues to the present day. Fishman’s work has been extensively published\, exhibited\, and collected worldwide\, and has earned him prestigious World Press Photo Foundation medals four times. His photographs have appeared on the covers of *Time*\, *Life*\, *Fortune*\, *Newsweek*\, *The London Sunday Times*\, *The Economist*\, and numerous others. Fishman’s work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery\, the United Nations POLIN: The Museum of the History of Polish Jews\, and the Stanford University and New York Public Libraries\, to name a few\, as well as private and corporate collections.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race\, spirituality\, history\, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter\, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown\, which is evident in his work. \n\nMorris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age\, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However\, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother\, Dell Pryor\, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades\, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans\, Hugh Grannum\, Lester Sloan\, Al Loving\, Gilda Snowden\, Shirley Woodson\, Anthony Barboza\, and Eric Pryor among others. \n\nIn 2008\, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit)\, a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society. \n\nIn 2019\, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage\, photo montage\, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works\, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

Moreover\, it has since been argued that the asymptotic covariance of the method is best possible among any estimation procedure in a local minimax sense of H´ajek and Le Cam. A long-standing open question in this line of work is whether similar guarantees hold for important non-smooth problems\, such as stochastic nonlinear programming or stochastic variational inequalities. In this work\, we show that this is indeed the case. This is joint work with Damek Davis and Liwei Jiang.

Rather than imagining it as a singular\, coherent object\, this exhibit seeks to introduce the diversity\, difference\, and complexity inherent in feminist activism in Japan. As in other cultural contexts\, “feminism” in Japan can invoke sharply different associations\, from office workers trying to reshape taken-for-granted structures of power and authority\, to mothers advocating for safer school lunches after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disasters\, and queer couples seeking legal recognition for the families they have created. Mainstream feminist activism in Japan has focused on advocating for change in families\, workplaces\, schools\, political institutions\, and laws\, among many other contexts. Many ­– but certainly not all – feminist activists in Japan are also responding to the lasting legacies of Japanese colonial projects\, working toward recognition\, repair\, and meaningful reparations for racial and gender-based violence that continue to impact communities disproportionately.\n\nThis exhibit features original portraits of feminists who have shaped the landscape of women's and gender rights in Japan and beyond. Created by nine contemporary artists in Japan and the United States\, the portraits and accompanying texts challenge simplistic understandings of \"feminism\" while also drawing attention to a diversity of experiences\, needs\, and activism within Japan. This exhibit also spotlights the history of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan in conjunction with the Center for Japanese Studies' 75th anniversary celebration. \n\n“Portraits of Feminism in Japan” is open for viewing M-F 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.\n\nFeatured artists:\nElaine Cromie\, JenClare B.

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

Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race\, spirituality\, history\, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter\, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown\, which is evident in his work. \n\nMorris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age\, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However\, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother\, Dell Pryor\, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades\, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans\, Hugh Grannum\, Lester Sloan\, Al Loving\, Gilda Snowden\, Shirley Woodson\, Anthony Barboza\, and Eric Pryor among others. \n\nIn 2008\, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit)\, a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society. \n\nIn 2019\, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage\, photo montage\, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works\, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

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

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

The country was operating through fire and blood! The judicial system was destroyed – judges and lawyers had been killed or exiled in neighboring countries. To judge the genocidaires\, the government decided to reintroduce the Traditional Jurisdictions Courts called Gacaca. This talk will emphasize what Gacaca did as a court and how it worked during the trials\; the digitization process of the 45 million pages of Gacaca files\; and the impact of the Gacaca files on society after the digitization.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information Data\, Archives\, and Information Seminar\; African Studies Center\; Museum Studies Program\; Ethics\, Society and Computing\; and Franklin Innovator Residency Fund.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nWith a PhD in education from the University of Geneva\, I have substantial experience working with the United Nations\, international non-governmental organizations\, non-profit organizations\, and governments on projects related to equitable and sustainable education curricula. As the Director General of the Research and Documentation Center on Genocide at the Rwanda National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG)\, I managed and led research projects as well as designed\, implemented\, monitored\, and assessed projects related to the Genocide against the Tutsi. Key projects included the digitization of forty-five million pages and four thousand audio-visual materials from Rwanda’s Gacaca Courts\, the preservation of textiles at the Nyamata genocide memorial site\, the preservation of bodies at the Murambi genocide memorial site\, and the preservation of artifacts in six other national genocide memorial sites in Rwanda. Between 2013 and 2015\, I also participated in a team responsible for designing Rwanda’s new national education curriculum for history and civic education. I am currently a Consultant with the International Labour Organization (ILO) for their Accelerator Lab 8.7 Program\, which provides funding and support to international organizations with innovative solutions to tackle child labor\, forced labor\, and human trafficking.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

During his first years of adolescence\, Muzamil grows up like other children\, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19\, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.\n\nFilm Facts & Background:\nSince few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956\, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

A cast of Gen Z subjects\, helmed by influencer Feroza Aziz\, remains at its center\, making this one of the most needed and empathetic films exploring what it means to be a digital native.\n\nDIRECTOR & PRODUCER: SHALINI KANTAYYA\nEmmy-nominated filmmaker Shalini Kantayya directs fiction and nonfiction films that artfully marry the future of science with the future of story.

The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name\, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height\, weight\, etc. In the process\, their humanity is denied.\n\nThis exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so\, those in prison reclaim their humanity.\n\nMuseum hours\nThursdays–Saturdays: 10:00 AM–5:00PM \nSundays: 1:00–5:00 PM UID:105623-21812454@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105623 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:27th Annual Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Detroit Historical Museum CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230220T092931 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230311T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230311T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Family Friendly Saturday Morning Physics | Physics Goes BOOM: Energy in Action!

Some emperors enjoyed decades in power\; others lasted less than a year. Being an emperor could be a dangerous job! Join us on this tour to learn what the early emperors of Rome saw when they looked out over their vast empire\, and what contemporary Roman writers had to say about them. Decide for yourself if you would have liked living in the early Roman empire\, whether or not togas and sandals are your style.\n\nThis event is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page or contact the education office (734-647-4167). We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
