Where we might mutually recognize a shared togetherness within the digital sphere\, we might also discover a feeling of alienation\, horror\, or even seduction.

Dr. Roxanne’s work is dedicated to rethinking the ethics of AI through an anti-colonial and cyberfeminist lens. They are currently developing their terminology\, digital attunement and the technological haunt further\, which expands theory and critique regarding body memory and hauntology within socio-technical frameworks. In the recent past\, they developed protocols of trust and safety online with Indigenous communities based in Central and South America. As a performance artist and practitioner\, they work between the digital and the material using textile\, from the space of the body as a site of refusal.\n\nTiara has presented at Images Festival (Toronto)\, Squeaky Wheel Film and Media Art Center (NY)\, Trinity Square Video (Toronto)\, European Media Art Festival (Osnabrück)\, University of Applied Arts (Vienna)\, SOAS (London)\, SLU (Madrid)\, Transmediale (Berlin)\, Duke University (NC)\, Tech Open Air (Berlin)\, AMOQA (Athens)\, Zurich University of the Arts (Zurich)\, Autonomous Intercultural Indigenous University (Columbia)\, Utrecht University (NL)\, University of California (San Diego)\, Laboratorio Arte Alameda\, (Mexico City)\, Fuchsbau Festival (Hannover) among others.\n\nWe strive to make our events accessible to all participants.

Where we might mutually recognize a shared togetherness within the digital sphere\, we might also discover a feeling of togetherness\, alienation\, horror or even seduction. I ask questions of how digital intimacy fabricates how our bodies move toward one another\, gather or isolate? We are intimate with the algorithms\, social media platforms and digital infrastructures embedded within the technological which intensify feelings of horror. Is the horror we see and feel via the algorithm and what we share\, a new form of attunement and intimacy\, is it a new body memory?Tiara Roxanne is a Purhépecha (descendant) Mestiza scholar and artist based in Berlin.

This talk will discuss our efforts at developing the large-eddy simulation capability for the simulation of turbulent cavitating flows. LES of cavitation is challenged by phase change modeling\, acoustic stiffness\, sharp multiphase fronts\, strong compressibility effects\, consistent accounting of nuclei\, broadband turbulence and subgrid effects.\n\nLES of partial cavitation will be discussed under the same conditions as experiments in a sharp wedge configuration. Physical mechanisms of cavity transition observed in the experiments\, i.e.\, re-entrant jet and bubbly shock waves\, are both captured in the LES over their respective regimes. Vapor volume fraction data obtained from the LES will be quantitatively compared to X-ray densitometry\, and the results will be discussed. Cavitation nuclei are likely to be introduced through the free-stream as well as at solid surfaces. We will present a novel approach based on Gibbs free energy minimization to predict nuclei concentrations. The results from the proposed work will be applied to account for dissolved gas content in CSM measurements and predict several decades of experimentally observed trends in nuclei concentrations. Cavitating flows possess a range of vapor length scales ranging from tiny vapor bubbles to large vapor pockets. We will discuss a compressible hybrid model to capture both sub-grid vapor nuclei and massive sheet cavity dynamics. Finally\, physical aspects of inception due to the interaction of a counter-rotating vortex pair generated behind a pair of hydrofoils will be presented.

They also lead to practical technological applications for timekeeping\, geodesy\, and quantum-enabled sensors in general. \n\nOne promising avenue to reach higher sensitivities is to use state-of-the-art optimal quantum control techniques. Those techniques allow us to search for the fastest\, the most efficient\, and the most reliable controls to perform operations in quantum systems or even to solve more abstract problems\, such as looking for the operations that generate the optimal probe state for a quantum sensor and even the design of sensing protocols\, thus fully exploiting the potentiality of current and future experimental setups.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss our recent advances in quantum control techniques and how these can impact different systems of interest\, in particular\, some exciting new analytical results for two-photon transitions and a general Quantum Control theory to optimize arbitrary computable figures of merit. Those systems of interest that will be discussed include entanglement-enhanced atomic clocks operating with extreme spin squeezed states and Dicke states\, a recently proposed atomic interferometer where all degrees of freedom are fully confined called the Tractor Atomic Interferometer\, and gyroscopes based on nitrogen-vacancy color centers in diamonds. \n\nBio: Sebastián C. Carrasco earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the Universidad de Chile\, Chile\, in 2020. He is a postdoctoral fellow at the Army Research Laboratory in Adelphi\, Maryland.

These ultra-cold Bose-Fermi mixtures are fundamentally different from degenerate gases with only bosons or fermions. They not only show an enriched phase diagram\, but also a fundamental instability due to energetic considerations coming from the Pauli exclusion principle. Inspired by this activity in the physics community\, recently we started exploring the mathematical theory of Bose-Fermi mixtures. One of the main challenges is understanding the physical scales of the system that allow for suitable analysis. We will describe how we overcame this challenge by identifying a novel scaling regime in which the fermion distribution behaves semi-clasically\, but the boson field remains quantum-mechanical. In this regime\, the bosons are much lighter and more numerous than the fermions. The talk is based on joint work with Esteban Cardenas and Joseph Miller.

The gut microbiota typically acquires these metals through the host diet but must be able to adapt to dietary fluctuations. Many studies link changes in available metal nutrients to alterations in bacterial colonization\, pathogen resistance\, and gut microbiota community composition but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our research program revolves around elucidating fundamental molecular mechanisms by which metals affect the microbiota. This talk will focus on our efforts to develop metal ion biosensors for illuminating metals within complex bacterial communities. We are investigating a series of cofactor-based fluorescent proteins that emit wavelengths ranging from green to the near-infrared and which\, unlike green fluorescent proteins and their variants\, do not rely on oxygen. I will cover how our group is re-engineering these proteins to develop novel sensors for zinc and copper. Application of these sensors to live bacteria and opportunities for their use in gut microbiota models will be discussed. I will also present our progress investigating how metal ions affect growth and cell interactions of the Lactobacillaceae family of bacteria\, which are crucial members of the gut microbiota.

That this expansion has taken place amid declining rates of economic growth and turbulent political events marks a departure from Korea’s past recognition as a high growth ‘developmental state.’ This presentation insists that to understand the challenges associated with this transformation what is needed is nothing less than a revision of the very standpoint of developmental state research itself. To do so\, it foregrounds the progressive project of ‘economic democratization’ to shift inquiry from elite bureaucracies and rapid GDP growth to the dynamics of historical blocs and the contours of socio-economic inequality. The lecture examines how despite the embrace of this project by successive liberal administrations\, and appropriation by moderate conservatives\, it has met with frustration. It is aregued that the causes of such can be seen through three interlinked phenomena: a narrowing vision of what constitutes economic democracy\, the ambiguous space accorded to workers within it\, and a problematic ‘politics of personality’ that has been used to pursue legitimacy in lieu of effective alliance-building and substantive policy change.\n \n Dr. Jamie Doucette is Reader in Human Geography at the University of Manchester. His research interests include the geographical political economy of development and democratization in East Asia\, the construction of urban and economic expertise\, labour geographies\, and the politics of special economic zones. His articles have appeared in journals such as Progress in Human Geography\, Urban Geography\, Transactions of the RGS- IBG\, Political Geography\, Journal of Asian Studies\, and Critical Asian Studies\, among others. This talk is based on his recent monograph The Postdevelopmental State: Dilemmas of Economic Democratization in Contemporary South Korea (University of Michigan Press\, 2024). He is the editor\, with Bae-gyoon Park\, of Developmentalist Cities? Interrogating Urban Developmentalism in East Asia (Brill/Haymarket 2019).\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu.

This period saw rapid developments in form and genre\, from the explicitly pedagogical\, anti-STI documentaries of the immediate post-war years to more sensational productions such as the Der Steinach Film (The Steinach Film\, 1922\, Germany\, dir. Thomalla)\, which delves into the latest endocrinological and “rejuvenation” research\, and more narratively driven\, melodramatic Aufklärungsfilme centred on themes of STI transmission\, abortion\, prostitution or homosexuality\, such as Falsche Scham (False Shame\, Germany\, 1925/26\, dir. Biebrach)\, Anders als die Andern (Different from the Others\, 1919\, dir Oswald)\, and Mysterium des Geschlechts (Mystery of sex\, 1933\, dir. Golte). \n\nThis talk presents work-in-progress from a co-authored book project with Birgit Lang (University of Melbourne) on photography and film in early German sexual science. It argues that interwar Aufklärungsfilme were crucial in democratizing interwar sexual science\, depicting doctors as not simply authoritative experts\, but as sympathetic\, accessible and even vulnerable mediators of the latest sex research. They show doctor-scientists taking their lectures and life-lessons out of the traditional clinics and laboratories into spaces such as nightclubs\, funfairs\, and domestic homes\, at times ceding some of their authority to newly recognized social actors such as female medical students or gender-diverse subjects. Film\, queer and affect theorists emphasize how the embodied experience of cinemagoing can foster unique forms of identification and empathy\, from “prosthetic memories” (Landsberg) to “embodied affects” (Rutherford). We examine how these shifts worked to humanize the clinical gaze and gesture towards more emancipatory futures\, even as we also consider ways in which these sources remain ethically troubling for historians of gender and sexuality today.\n\nKatie Sutton is Associate Professor of German and Gender Studies at the Australian National University and a cultural historian of the German-speaking world. Working at the intersection of gender\, sexuality\, medicine and popular culture\, Sutton’s work focuses particularly on queer and trans histories and cultures\, sexual science and psychoanalysis. They are author of Sexuality in Modern German History (Bloomsbury\, 2023)\; Sex between Body and Mind: Psychoanalysis and Sexology in the German-Speaking World\, 1890s-1930s (Michigan UP\, 2019)\; and The Masculine Woman in Weimar Germany (Berghahn\, 2011). Sutton’s research has been supported by the Australian Research Council\, DAAD\, and British Academy/Leverhulme\, including a current collaborative ARC Discovery Project with Professor Birgit Lang at the University of Melbourne on photography and film in early sexual science on which this presentation is based.

Leadership programs now increasingly incorporate followership theory\, practice and development in their curriculum. Our speaker\, Ira Chaleff\, has been in the forefront of this movement with his classic work\, The Courageous Follower: Standing Up To and For Our Leaders. Having spent much of his career in the political sector\, he is now applying the lens of followership to understanding one of humanity’s most intractable phenomenon: the rise of tyrannical political leaders on both the political left and right. \n\nIn his new book\, To Stop a Tyrant\, rather than focus on the leader\, or lament the blight they bring to freedom\, Chaleff walks us through a new way of understanding the power of followers to interrupt the toxic trajectory. In a politically polarized climate\, he brings a refreshing non-partisan voice that invites us to better understand the dynamics of how we can create political leaders that use appropriate power for the public good.\n\nThis event is intended for University of Michigan students\, staff\, faculty\, and alumni.\n\nPre-speaker reception at 4 PM with appetizers.\nHosted with support from our campus partners: CEW+\, Sanger Leadership Center\, and the Ford School Leadership Initiative.

Through a series of interactive sessions\, the workshops will cover a range of topics\, including reporting and regulatory frameworks\, data providers\, and the impact of ESG factors on financial performance and risk management.\n\nNearly all major corporations release ESG reports\, and global ESG (environmental\, social\, governance) assets under management are projected to pass $50 trillion in 2025. Some see ESG data as an essential tool to guide corporations toward positive social impact. Yet the investment strategy has become controversial\, and some states have banned the use of ESG standards for government funds. What is ESG\, how can I get and use ESG data\, and why is a seemingly niche investment strategy suddenly so political?\n\nThis hands-on workshop provides hands-on experience with ESG data to answer three questions: (1) How can I evaluate a specific company’s ESG performance (e.g.\, a potential employer)? (2) How can I assess ESG mutual funds and ETFs that I might invest in? and (3) How can I use ESG data to create a portfolio that matches my values?\n\nThis event\, facilitated by Professor Jerry Davis\, is open to all students.

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

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University.

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.

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:84303-21621405@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:20241002T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241002T170000 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).

Various pieces of evidence suggest that monotone states correspond to horizonless microstate geometries\, while fortuitous states are dual to supersymmetric black holes. In this talk\, I will connect this classification to the fine-grained features of BPS states using concepts from quantum chaos. In concrete models such as the N=4 SYM theory\, explicit calculations demonstrate that monotone states are only weakly chaotic\, whereas fortuitous states can exhibit strong chaos due to an “invasion” mechanism. I propose using the N=2 SUSY SYK model as a toy model to explore many of these ideas.

This research raises the question of how this relationship works under conditions when public confidence in poll results becomes situational. Individuals sometimes use motivated reasoning when encountering new information\, evaluating it in relation to their prior beliefs and attitudes. On some occasions they counter argue or devalue the new information if it does not agree with their priors. In a series of two pre-registered survey-based experiments\, respondent subjects evaluated simulated poll results showing that a majority of Americans agreed or disagreed with a position they hold on one of two different issues. For each issue\, their assessed credibility of the poll was lower when it suggested that the majority held a view contrary to their own\, a demonstration of motivated reasoning. For one issue\, this relationship was reinforced among more polarized respondents and for conservatives compared to Liberals and for Republicans compared to Democrats but not for the other issue\, raising a question about whether the impact of affective political polarization could be issue specific in this context. In a second set of experiments\, the same results were reproduced – an effect of affective political polarization for one issue but not for the same issue as in the first experiment. Avenues for further research are discussed.\n\nProfessor Michael W. Traugott studies the mass media and their impact on American politics. This includes research on the use of the media by candidates in their campaigns and its impact on voters\, as well as the ways that campaigns are covered and the impact of this coverage on candidates. He has a particular interest in the use of surveys and polls and the way news organizations employ them to cover campaigns and elections UID:126233-21856760@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/126233 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Basic Science,brown bag,Data,Data Analysis,Data Collection,Data Curation,Data Linkage,Data Management,Data Science,Free,gerald r. ford school of public policy,Graduate and Professional Students,In Person,Lecture,Macroeconomics,Online,Political Economy,Political Science,Politics,Prospective Undergraduate Students,Science,seminar,Social Science,Sociology,Survey Methodology,Survey Research LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Room 1070, Institute for Social Research CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240116T141648 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241002T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241002T123000 SUMMARY:Well-being:North Campus Mindfulness Meditation Drop-In (Online) DESCRIPTION:Take a moment to create some space to breathe and invite a sense of calm into your day.

A myriad of societal problems concerning energy\, clean water and air\, and medicine all need to be solved by the discovery of new compounds with dramatically improved\, or even new\, properties. The search for such materials requires a blending of skills and mindsets that\, traditionally\, have been segregated into different academic disciplines: physics\, chemistry\, metallurgy\, materials science. In this colloquium I will outline the basic philosophy and techniques that we use to search for novel materials. These include a combination of intuition\, experience\, compulsive optimism and a desire to share discovery.[1]\n\nIn the second half of the lecture\, the specific case of superconductivity will be used as an example of one such search. Over the past couple of decades a growing sense of where and even how to search for new superconductors has been developing\, with the recent discoveries of MgB2 and the FeAs based materials providing\, at least for me\, clear guidance. [2] Stories will be told\, jokes will be cracked\, slow burn puns will be deployed. Any resemblances to persons living or dead is coincidental.\n\n[1] Paul C. Canfield\, Rep. Prog. Phys. 83 [2020] 016501.\n[2] Paul C. Canfield\, Nature Materials 10 [2011] 259.\n\nBio:\nDr. Paul C. Canfield is a Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy and holds the Robert Allen Wright Endowed Chair in Physics at Iowa State University\; he is a Senior Scientist in Ames National Laboratory. Over the past thirty years his research group has made over 10\,000 growths of novel materials. His group has discovered new examples of superconducting\, antiferromagnetic\, ferromagnetic\, topological\, quantum critical\, and strongly correlated materials and has used both pressure and chemical substitution to finely tune systems and ground states.\n\nDr. Canfield has won numerous awards including: the 2011 DOE Lawrence Award\, the 2014 American Physical Society\, David Adler Lectureship Award in the Field of Material Physics\, a 2015 Humboldt Research Award\, and the 2017 American Physical Society\, James C. McGroddy Prize for New Materials. He was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 2001\, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2020 and a fellow of American Association for Advancement of Science in 2023.

What a game!” They might also make a joke aboutthe long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation.If you are interested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’syour chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk asan international student. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers!

The first Indian film was made in 1913. However\, filmmaking was recognized as an industry almost a hundred years later. Yet\, Indian films have been circulating globally since their inception. This book unearths this oft-elided history of Bollywood's globalization through multilingual\, transnational research and discursive cultural analysis. Over the decades\, a handful of primarily male megastars\, as the heads of the industry's most prominent productions and corporations\, combined overwhelming charismatic affect with unparalleled business influence. Through their “star switching power\,” theorized here as a deeply gendered phenomenon and manifesting broader social inequalities\, India's most prominent stars instigated new flows of cinema\, industrial collaborations\, structured distinctive business models\, influenced state policy and diplomatic exchange\, thereby defining the future of Bollywood's globalization.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG’s Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights new books by our faculty.

There are many such orbital integrals\, however the study of these infinitely many integrals can be in a sense reduced to studying a finite amount of data: the finite collection of nilpotent orbital integrals and their associated Shalika germs.

From the late Soviet Cascade to the post-Soviet megaproject Northern Avenue\, his legacy has continued to serve as a point of reference.\n Roaming through scattered experimental buildings\, blueprints hidden in private archives\, and surrealist fiction suppressed by Soviet censors\, the talk seeks to reconstruct from the debris of history an alternative pathway to imagining the Soviet city. Contesting Tamanyan's Eurocentric vision of the city\, the talk recounts the story of those who were torn between anticipation for a communist future and a longing for the city's Persian heritage – which was being razed before their eyes.\n \n Bio: Dr. David Leupold is a research fellow at Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient Berlin and principal investigator of the research project “Relicts of the Future? Life and Afterlife of the Socialist City in Central Asia and the Southern Caucasus” funded by the German Research Association (DFG). Leupold was a 2018-2019 Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow in the University of Michigan Department of Sociology and holds a doctoral degree from the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.\n \n His research interests comprise contested geographies and the collective imaginations of past\, present and future in the post-Ottoman and post-Soviet space.

The Hodge bundle is a rank g vector bundle on A_g given by pulling back the relative cotangent bundle of the universal family along the zero section. The top Chern class of the Hodge bundle on A_g vanishes. However\, when the Hodge bundle is extended to a compactification of A_g\, this top Chern class stops vanishing. I will present a conjectural formula for this top Chern class on the second Voronoi compactification of A_g. The formula is expressed as a piecewise polynomial on the dual cone complex\, the moduli space of tropical principally polarized abelian varieties.

We demonstrate that optimal relaxed controls exist for both maximization and minimization cases. These relaxed controls are defined by random measures across the state and control spaces\, with the state process described as a solution to the associated martingale problem. By leveraging findings from \cite{kur-sto}\, we establish the equivalence between the martingale problem and the stationary forward equation. This allows us to reformulate the relaxed control problem into a linear programming problem within the measure space. We prove the sequential compactness of these measures\, thereby confirming the feasibility of achieving an optimal solution. Subsequently\, our focus shifts to Mean Field Games. Drawing on insights from the single-agent problem and employing Kakutani--Glicksberg--Fan fixed point theorem\, we derive the existence of a mean field game equilibria.

As time permits\, we will also look through Andrej Karpathy’s “build-nanogpt” repository to precisely understand some implementation details. \n\nDiffusion Models: Diffusion models\, in essence\, work by learning to denoise data that had been noised with a prescribed forward process. While much work has been done on different mathematical formulations of the process\, the architectural part that actually does the learning is often divorced from the former and relegated to a footnote in the articles. In this lightning talk\, I will illustrate the development and workings of the main backbone architectures used in diffusion models\, from the ubiquitous U-Net to approaches utilizing Transformers.\n\nState Space Models: Much recent excitement has centered on sequential data modeling\, which has been recently dominated by the popular Transformer architecture. Transformers\, however\, suffer from a quadratic memory requirement in sequence length\, limiting its use for the ever-increasing context window demands. State-space models (SSMs)\, in particular Mamba\, have arisen as a potential replacement for Transformers\, having linear memory scaling and comparable predictive performance. In this talk\, we discuss the fundamentals of SSMs from the perspective of linear dynamical systems and the core of the Mamba architecture.

Are you wondering how to best prepare to handle ethics scenarios? Plan to attend this virtual session\, presented by Dr. Andrew Shuman\, as he provides a brief introduction to medical ethics and suggestions on how to best tackle ethical questions during medical school interviews. This will include audience participation\, including possibly being called on to give your perspective on a complex ethical scenario. Youare not expected to be an expert or have a \"right\" answer. Rather\, this workshop is designed to help you think on your feet and gain confidence inexpressing your thoughts on complex ethical issues. it is a judgement free zone where each of us can benefit from our unique perspectives.Dr. Andrew Shuman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Michigan Medical School.He serves as Chief of the Clinical Ethics Service in the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM). He is internationally recognized as a thought leader in ethical issues arising within the field of otolaryngology and surgical oncology. His greatest impact involves his work in defining the conceptual dimensions of “surgical ethics\,” an emerging focus in the broader field of bioethics\, and being able to apply his perspective as a practicing surgeon and clinical ethicist to normative and empirical bioethics research.Pre-registration is required by \"joining the event\" via Handshake.

In particular\, the principles governing intracellular molecular spatial organization and interaction\, as well as cellular spatial organization within complex tissues\, are still largely unclear. A major challenge lies in developing computational methods capable of integrating heterogeneous and multiscale molecular\, cellular\, and tissue information. In this talk\, I will discuss our recent work on creating integrative approaches to advance single-cell epigenomics. These methods hold the potential to reveal new insights into fundamental genome structure\, gene regulation\, and cellular function within complex tissues\, across a wide range of biological contexts in both health and disease.\n\nBio: Jian Ma is the Ray and Stephanie Lane Professor of Computational Biology in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. His lab develops advanced AI/ML methods to explore the structural and functional complexity of the human genome and cellular organization. His work tackles key computational challenges with broad implications for human health and disease. He serves as the Contact PI of a Center grant in the NIH 4D Nucleome Program and Co-Chair of its Steering Committee. His recent work has been supported by the NIH\, NSF\, CZI\, Google\, and the Mark Foundation. He has received several awards\, including an NSF CAREER Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship (in Computer Science)\, and is an elected Fellow of AAAS.

Born in Cuba to parents of African and European ancestry\, Nicolás Guillén worked in printing presses and studied law before moving into Havana’s literary scene. A virtuosic maker and breaker of forms\, Guillén rose to fame by transforming a popular form of Cuban music into poetry that called attention to the experience of Afro-Cuban people\, and he continued to interweave his artistic and political commitments as he traveled the world.\n \nOriginally published in Spanish in 1967\, The Great Zoo is a humorous and biting collection of poems that presents a fantastical bestiary of ideas\, social concerns\, landscapes\, phenomena\, and more. The “animals” on view in this menagerie include the Mississippi and Amazon Rivers\, clouds from different countries\, a singing guitar\, a temperamental atomic bomb\, blue-pelted police\, a hurricane\, the KKK\, and the North Star\, among many others. Translated by Aaron Coleman with a keen understanding of the contexts of colonial racialization\, oppression\, and exoticism\, this bilingual edition stands as a testament to Guillén’s carnivalesque vision.\n\nAaron Coleman is an assistant professor of English and comparative literature in the Helen Zell Writers’s Program at the University of Michigan. He is the author of the poetry collection Threat Come Close\, winner of the Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award\, and the chapbook St. Trigger\, selected for the Button Poetry Chapbook Prize. Coleman has received fellowships from the NEA\, Fulbright Program\, Cave Canem Foundation\, and American Literary Translators Association. His poems and essays have appeared in publications including the New York Times\, Boston Review\, and Callaloo.

His song\, “Shimmer” was used in promotion of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney and was included on the Dawson’s Creek soundtrack. His co-write “All in My Head” from 2008’s Honeydew was featured in episode one of the hit TV sitcom “Scrubs.” Mullins also co-wrote the Zac Brown Band’s No. 1 country tune “Toes.” In early 2002\, he formed supergroup The Thorns with Matthew Sweet and Pete Droge. “No Blue Sky” from the resulting album\, is a modern day classic. \n\nFor the 20th anniversary of his breakthrough album\, Shawn revisited the music of Soul’s Core by recording two new versions of the album. He calls this Soul’s Core Revival. This is not a remix or a remaster of the original\, but rather brand new recordings with new arrangements of the songs – one album is stripped down solo performances\, some on guitar\, some on piano and maybe one a cappella and the second is a new studio recording with his full band\, Soul Carnival.\n \nhttps://shawnmullins.com/ UID:122246-21848506@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122246 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241017T183242 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241002T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241002T204500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Teach For America Corps Info Session DESCRIPTION:Interested in learning more about Teach For America and jump-starting a purpose-driven career?

However\, state-owned utilities dominate the electricity sector in many countries\, risking political capture and distorted investments. This paper studies nationwide electrification in Kenya\, where major democratization and decentralization reforms have advanced political accountability. Pro-government areas received 46% more electrified villages and 35% more household connections than determined by the official non-partisan\, pre-existing formula guiding program implementation. Favoritism was driven by national rather than local officials. Despite the success of decentralization in some sectors\, central coordination and economies of scale may still expose energy infrastructure to political capture.

The seventeen life-size figures\, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam\, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau’s life\, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work\, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience\, reflecting the healing power of art.\n\nAnn Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25\, 2024. During her stay\, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23\, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery.

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

The institute's presentation of *The Butch Closet* is the second iteration of the project\, offering a more intimate and immersive engagement with Phranc's sculptural works. As part of the installation\, visitors can peer into a closet built in the center of the gallery designed by the artist. Conceptually\, the space shifts from inside to outside\, public and private\, and explores themes of visibility and that which remains inaccessible or unseen.\n\nAbout the artist:\nPhranc is a jewish lesbian folksinger and queer artist who uses song\, painting and sculpture to champion personal identities and illustrate the struggle\, survival\, and victory of the queer individual. An internationally acclaimed and award winning performer. Phranc’s work integrates humor and a butch lesbian aesthetic. Her current project\, Phranc Talk: The Butch Closet\, is a multi-media memoir that spans her 40-year career. Phranc lives and works in Santa Monica\, California and Vancouver\, British Columbia.\n\n*Phranc is the 2024 Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.* UID:123255-21850620@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/123255 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:american culture,Art,Exhibition,Feminism,Gender,Humanities,LGBT,visual arts LOCATION:Thayer Academic Building - Institute for the Humanities Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241018T063245 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241003T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241003T113000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Meet PwC Middle East - Detroit DESCRIPTION:We're visiting Detroit on Thursday 3rd October and we'd love to meet you and talk about our graduate opportunities in the Middle East.

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:84303-21621406@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:20241018T063137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241003T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241003T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:CIC Student Working Group Meeting DESCRIPTION:The CIC invites students of all academic backgrounds and varying research experience to join the CIC Student Working Group.

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).
