It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

From its inception\, the U-M Herbarium has cataloged and described plants—both poisonous and beneficial to human health—and still serves that role today. See specimens of these plant and fungal “friends” and “foes” from the U-M Herbarium collection and learn about how the collection is used for drug discovery today.

In the realm of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids\, form determines function\, so visualizing the three-dimensional structures of molecules is key in researching the ‘tiny’ macromolecules that perform vital functions in our cells. In Biophysics 421\, under the guidance of Markos Koutmos\, Assistant Professor of Biophysics & Chemistry\, and Liz Tidwell\, PhD candidate in Biophysics\, students created models with digital modeling software and brought them to life via 3D printing. This exhibit showcases the 3D printed molecules\, scaled up to better reveal the structures that inform\, make\, break\, modify\, and move within the body.

When COVID took Tina’s life\, Taylor started ordering identical versions of their childhood games and toys on eBay. As she assembled these objects\, Taylor recalled a memory of climbing with Tina through the skeletal frameworks of unfinished houses in the 1970s. Late at night\, the girls would pick their way through floorless rooms and speculate about their future inhabitants. In this spirit of imaginative experimentation\, Taylor began taking apart her eBay acquisitions. Gathering\, breaking\, sawing\, splicing\, painting\, gluing\, layering\, and reassembling these toys became\, for her\, a way to probe the complicated nature of a lost friendship and to explore the multidimensional nature of grief. Ultimately\, Taylor built the framework of an unfinished house to evoke those she once explored with Tina. Taylor describes the house as a “container for grief.” \n\nSeptember 28 - October 27 \nOpening & Reception: September 28\, 1-3pm \nGalleryDAAS \n\nAbout this series of events: \nArt & Resistance Fall 2023 Theme Semester Programming \nSponsored by Arts Initiative\, UMMA\, American Culture\, Latina/o Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television and Media & the Museum Studies Program \nPresented by Charlotte Juergens\, 2nd year Ph.D. student in American Culture \nhttp://bit.ly/UMafterthought UID:112261-21828706@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/112261 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:american culture,Art,arts,arts at michigan,Arts Initiative,Culture,Department Of American Culture,Exhibition,Film,food,Free,Graduate,In Person,Latina/o Studies,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Haven Hall - galleryDAAS CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231022T122046 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231022T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231022T150000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IGR/Model United Nations at UM 10/22/2023 (CommonGround) DESCRIPTION: UID:113045-21829960@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/113045 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231022T120022 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231022T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231022T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Karate Practice DESCRIPTION:New members are always welcome.

The White Crane of Alagśa: Lost Lives of the Sixth Dalai Lama in Mongolia DESCRIPTION:The Sixth Dalai Lama Tsangyang Gyatso (1683-1706/46) was recognized in secrecy\, lived in controversy\, and passed out of history in mystery. The popular tradition holds that he died whilst travelling to Beijing. Yet in some parts of Mongolia\, it is believed that the exiled Sixth Dalai Lama escaped his captors and lived out his life in the Gobi desert region of Alagśa\, Inner Mongolia. To this day\, the figure of the Sixth Dalai Lama still serves as a central pillar of Alagśan identity\, Buddhist faith\, and cultural pride among the local Mongolian population. \n\nBased on new materials in the form of oral histories\, local legends\, folk songs\, poems\, and textual sources that I collected about the Sixth Dalai Lama in Alagśa during a research trip in 2019\, this paper will explore the formation of religio-cultural identity and the invention of tradition in the Alagśa since the early eighteenth century. These developments centered the Sixth Dalai Lama\, and the narratives are often based on local understandings of the earlier interfaces between the Mongols and the successive incarnations of the Dalai Lama and their regents. This is not a paper that tries to solve the mystery of Tsangyang Gyatso’s death\, but rather\, one that explores the role he played for the Alagśa Mongols in creating authentic narratives of identity and archetypes of sacredness. This is a story of how Tsangyang Gyatso\, his identities\, and his interpersonal relationships were reborn in Alagśa and went on to transcend multiple lifetimes and traverse the geopolitical spheres of the cosmopolitan Buddhist world that spanned the Himalayas\, Inner Asia\, and the Qing.\n\nYou can email telf@umich.edu for a registration link.

With their playful and perfect interplay\, they seem to defy the laws of physics in what appears to be a telepathic communication. The music is intense and full of humor. They create their very own musical language which in its appeal is as modern as it is ancient. With the foundation firmly rooted in the traditional music of Uppland\, they have always looked curiously at new musical goals. Olov & Micke have played together since 1983 when they met at Oktoberstämman in Uppsala and discovered that they had a large common repertoire and a similar way of playing. They perform on a variety of stringed instruments\, including kontrabasharpa\, oktavharpa\, three-rowed nyckelharpa\, violoncello da spalla and a blue electric base-viola. Väsen comes to Michigan with a new album\, “Melliken.” \n\n\nHawktail (formerly Haas Kowert Tice) brings together musicians you've heard in a dozen other places into an exciting new combination! Fiddler Brittany Haas was a member of Crooked Still and is a fixture on Chris Thile's \"Live from Here\" radio shows. Bassist Paul Kowert is a longtime member of Punch Brothers and has also been active in classical music. Guitarist Jordan Tice grew up in bluegrass and has played with The Dave Rawlings Music Machine. And mandolinist Dominick Leslie has studied with Thile\, Mike Marshall\, and David Grisman\, and has performed with Noam Pikelny & Friends and other bands. Put it together\, and you have a band that can range across genres and recombine them with ease\, imagination\, and brilliant virtuosity. Hawktail comes to Michigan with a new release\, “Place of Growth.”\n \nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4239/4240 for more detail.

The unique styles of five composers create a dynamic auditory experience that is at times classical\, jazzy\, broadway\, funny\, serious\, and alarming but always engaging and unexpected. \n\nThis project was funded by The Presser Foundation\, the National Center for Institutional Diversity\, the Center for World Performance Studies\, and the University of Michigan EXCEL Lab. \n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\nSMTD alumna SAMANTHA ROSE WILLIAMS is an arts activist committed to sharing marginalized experiences with diverse audiences and creating space for critical discussion about art\, culture\, and social change.

It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War DESCRIPTION:*Presented in association with UMS*.\n\nIn Guardian Passage\, artists Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova employ the tools and imagery of traditional Ukrainian art forms to face down the existential threat brought about by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Bondarenko’s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko’s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war\; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats\, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova’s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage\, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline\, red thread connects these projects\, weaving through clay and fabric\, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on “Arts and Resistance.”\n\nIrina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist\, a native of Ukraine\, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan. Irina has been with the University of Michigan Biostatistics Department for more than 20 years. and published over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Along with her career at the School of Public Health\, for the last 10 years Irina has been pursuing her interest in ceramics. Her work was featured in over a dozen national shows\, the 24th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition\, and the “Strictly Functional Pottery National Show” in 2021 and 2022\, and\, most recently\, the Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum.\n\nArtist website: https://www.ibondceramics.com/\n\nKatya Lisova is an artist\, designer\, and art historian. Born in Kyiv\, she is a graduate of the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk (2009) and the National Academy of Cultural and Artistic Leaders (2018). Since 2019 she has been teaching at the Kyiv State Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk. Her work is in the field of artistic textiles and digital graphics. She is also the art director of the “Ukrainian Unofficial” research project\, which compiles archives of Ukrainian unofficial art of the second half of the twentieth century.\n\nArtist website: https://www.flickr.com/photos/196914550@N02/albums\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

DESCRIPTION:Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance\, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology\, robotics\, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women\, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves. \nTrained as an engineer and an artist\, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex\, layered\, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving\, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood\, technology\, female bodies\, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to\, and alternative to\, patriarchal\, capitalist\, production-based\, and seemingly rational\, useful\, logical systems. \n“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” 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.\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

Clements Library\, edited by former library director John Dann. This exhibit—and its expanded online version—pairs items from 101 Treasures with related items that have for the most part been acquired since 1998.

First\, in 2008\, the United Arab Emirates took control of Manchester City F.C. and transformed the club into a multiple English\, and now European champion\, the key asset in a group of twelve clubs in five continents\; then Qatar\, having controversially won the right to host the 2022 World Cup\, purchased French giant Paris Saint-Germain F.C. (PSG)\; and now\, Saudi Arabia is on the way to eclipse both\, having spent hundreds of millions recruiting some of the sport's most famous names for its state-run and owned national league and clubs\; and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)\, enjoying a uniquely close relationship with world governing body FIFA\, is now seen as favorite to hold the 2034 World Cup. The acquisition of 'soft power' is routinely presented as the key reason behind these countries' unprecedented investment in football\, as football enables them to burnish/re-define their global image and 'sportswash' their dreadful human rights record. While this is true\, this doesn't tell the whole story. All three countries have applied different strategies and have distinct objectives\, all of them geo-political rather than reputational in nature. What unites all three projects is not 'soft power'\, but power itself\, on a regional but also\, in the case of Saudi Arabia\, global level. There is nothing 'soft' about this\, even if the rest of the world has so far failed to recognize this essential difference.\n\nFootball writer\, broadcaster\, and investigative journalist Philippe Auclair has been France Football's England correspondent since 1999. He is the England football correspondent for Eurosport.fr\, Europe 1\, Radio France Internationale\, and Swiss national radio RTS\, and a regular contributor to the Guardian Football Weekly (UK) podcast\, for which he specializes in governance issues and the geopolitical dimension of football. His investigations have been published by Josimar magazine and on the websites of the Arabic and African services of the BBC. His biography of Eric Cantona\, *The Rebel Who Would Be King*\, was voted 'Football Book of the Year' in both France and the UK\, and he won France's 'Scoop Of The Year' award for his investigation into the 'Qatargate' dossier\, to which he also devoted two books\, published in France and Belgium in 2015 and 2022. He has recently been investigating the sports betting industry as part of a multinational team that won the Investigative Journalism For Europe's Impact Award in 2023.\n \n He recently published on the topic\, which he will expand on in his lecture.

Yet many low-income households face severe challenges in maintaining stable housing. In this paper we examine the impact of the 2021 temporary expansion to the Child Tax Credit (CTC) on the living arrangements and housing affordability of families with low incomes. We employ a parameterized difference-in-differences method and use national data from a sample of parents who are receiving\, or recently received\, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits (N~20\,500). We find that the monthly CTC is associated with a higher likelihood that parents reported a change in their living arrangements as well as reduced household size\, an effect largely driven by fewer mothers living with a partner (and not a reduction in doubling up). We also find that the credit reduced parents’ likelihood of reporting potential moves due to difficulties affording rent/mortgages as well as the amount and incidence of back-owed rent/mortgages. We find some differences in effects by race and ethnicity and income. Our findings illustrate how the monthly credit allowed parents to gain residential independence from partners\, reduce the number of people residing in their household\, and reduce their past-due rent/mortgage.\n\nNatasha Pilkauskas is an Associate Professor of Public Policy at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. Pilkauskas’ research considers how demographic\, social safety net\, and economic shifts in the U.S. affect low-income families with children. Specifically\, her work examines children’s shared living arrangements\, economic insecurity among vulnerable populations\, and the effects of cash transfers\, such as tax credits\, on low-income families. Much of Pilkauskas’ research focuses on early childhood\, a time when poverty and instability are known to have long-lasting detrimental effects on children’s health and development\, and when social policies have been shown to have some of the strongest impacts on improving children’s life chances. Pilkauskas holds a Ph.D. in social welfare policy from Columbia University\, a Masters in Public Policy from Harvard University and a B.A in Economics and Sociology from Northwestern University.\n\nJoin us in person at ISR (Thompson Street) Room 1430.\n\nOr online: Join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95418610585?pwd=Z0cvdkF1T0R2cG1lRDEvVmlnbVdlZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nPasscode: 818420\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,95418610585# US (Washington DC)\n+13092053325\,\,95418610585# US UID:109981-21823499@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/109981 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,Poverty,Public Policy,Social Sciences,Sociology LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231020T162709 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231023T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231023T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social Movements Workshop DESCRIPTION:Join us for this Social Movements Workshop\, \"Strategic Identity Disclosure: Competitive Positioning on Owner Social Identity\,\" with Kyle McCullers.

When COVID took Tina’s life\, Taylor started ordering identical versions of their childhood games and toys on eBay. As she assembled these objects\, Taylor recalled a memory of climbing with Tina through the skeletal frameworks of unfinished houses in the 1970s. Late at night\, the girls would pick their way through floorless rooms and speculate about their future inhabitants. In this spirit of imaginative experimentation\, Taylor began taking apart her eBay acquisitions. Gathering\, breaking\, sawing\, splicing\, painting\, gluing\, layering\, and reassembling these toys became\, for her\, a way to probe the complicated nature of a lost friendship and to explore the multidimensional nature of grief. Ultimately\, Taylor built the framework of an unfinished house to evoke those she once explored with Tina. Taylor describes the house as a “container for grief.” \n\nSeptember 28 - October 27 \nOpening & Reception: September 28\, 1-3pm \nGalleryDAAS \n\nAbout this series of events: \nArt & Resistance Fall 2023 Theme Semester Programming \nSponsored by Arts Initiative\, UMMA\, American Culture\, Latina/o Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television and Media & the Museum Studies Program \nPresented by Charlotte Juergens\, 2nd year Ph.D. student in American Culture \nhttp://bit.ly/UMafterthought UID:112261-21828707@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/112261 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:american culture,Art,arts,arts at michigan,Arts Initiative,Culture,Department Of American Culture,Exhibition,Film,food,Free,Graduate,In Person,Latina/o Studies,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Haven Hall - galleryDAAS CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231107T063255 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231023T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231023T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Samantha Williams: \"American Patriots\" LSA guest lecture DESCRIPTION:American Culture 374/History 374\n \nThe Politics and Culture of the \"Sixties\" --- The current debate over the Sixties and the history of that decade mirror the very essence of American Culture.

This correlation is extremely important for cosmological and astrophysical analyses\, as it enables us to impose precise constraints on critical physical parameters governing the impact of baryonic effects on the matter power spectrum. Specifically\, we obtain strong bounds for the parameter describing the average mass of haloes at which feedback mechanisms have expelled half of their gas content\, \log_{10}(M_c/M_\odot). I will explain the data sets used\, the theoretical models considered and conclude with our results and steps for future analyses.

This was proved in two papers by Baik and Lee\, for all non-critical temperatures. The case of critical temperature was recently computed for the SSK model in two separate papers\, one by Landon and the other by Johnstone\, Klochkov\, Onatski and Pavlyshyn. In this talk\, we will discuss the critical temperature result for the bipartite SSK model. In particular\, we study the free energy fluctuations when the temperature is in a window of size $n^{-1/3}\sqrt{\log n}$ around the critical temperature\, the same window for the SSK model. Within this transitional window\, the asymptotic fluctuations of the free energy are the sum of independent Gaussian and Tracy--Widom random variables. \n\nThe talk is based on joint work with Elizabeth Collins-Woodfin.

Martha\, and her\, “worry and distraction” have been villainized by a long interpretive tradition\, making her out to be the poster child for the cares of the material world. Mary has been championed as the model of prayer\, spirituality\, contemplation\, monastic life\, and even as the earthly embodiment of heavenly life. Mary and Martha have been put in a competition\, and Martha always loses. Much of the recent Feminist and Womanist scholarly conversation around Mary and Martha in Luke 10 has turned upon the nature of Martha’s work\, largely under the influence of the history of interpretation of the passage. The crux of the passage\, however\, hinges not on whether Martha was in the kitchen or doing ministry\, but on her labor dispute and Jesus’ response. In order to undermine that millennia old tradition of using the disabled body as something to “think with\,” I will contextualize Martha’s “worry and distraction” with respect to her servile labor\, and the need to manage “many things.” I will draw upon ancient medical literature\, philosophical texts\, and narratives that describe worried\, effeminate and enslaved bodies in order to demonstrate the ties between the female body\, worry\, anxiety\, and enslaved labor in antiquity. In antiquity Martha’s worry was the expected consequence of the labor that was assigned to women and enslaved persons. In this regard Luke’s gospel is using Martha’s body to “think with\,” but Martha’s worry is not a spiritual deficit\, it is the disability that is manufactured by unjust labor structures that purposefully assign worry to some bodies and not others.

The approaches to defining bacterial sRNAs and their targets have dramatically improved since the screens that first identified many of them over 20 years ago. Current tools provide a global view of Hfq-binding RNAs that suggests increasingly interwoven regulatory networks\, helping cell respond appropriately to stress and host interactions. On-switches for sRNAs are primarily at the level of transcription\; when transcription ceases\, most of the sRNAs are used stoichiometrically\, being degraded as they are used\, providing an effective Off-switch for sRNA regulation. We have used genetic screens to identify novel regulators of both Hfq and the sRNAs. One of these\, HqbA\, binds directly to the distal face of Hfq\, and competes with weakly binding RNAs for association with Hfq\, suggesting it is a new quality control regulator for Hfq. Data suggests that this is a bifunctional protein\, directly regulating Hfq by protein-protein interaction and regulating other processes independently of Hfq. HqbA\, along with other factors\, help to ensure appropriate hierarchy of sRNA function.\n\n\nKeywords: mRNA translation\; RNAse E\; Escherichia coli.

Count me in: how quantification shapes knowledge politics in contemporary higher education DESCRIPTION:How is knowledge organized in higher education? In recent decades\, the adoption of market-oriented logics within institutions of research and higher education had notable implications on how the pursuit of knowledge is shaped and rewarded. As documented by a number of authors\, for example\, the \"commercialization of science\" had consequences on the quality of knowledge produced in particular research setting. Backed by distinct cultures of quantification and tied to concrete devices measurement and commensuration\, the broader audit cultures that embed modern research effectively shape what we know and can know. In this talk\, I explore instances of these cultures by looking into the role of research assessments and budget models as mechanisms for shaping and regulating how universities structure their instructional and research operations. Focusing on recent models of research evaluation and budgeting\, this talk shows how several techniques of quantification become important for implementing change in higher education with long-lasting consequences for the distribution of knowledge\, the organization of the sciences\, and the structure of the public sphere.\n\nJuan Pablo Pardo-Guerra is an Associate Professor in Sociology at the University of California\, San Diego and Director of the Latin American Studies Program.

To identify causal effects\, we use employer-employee matched federal tax records and an event study design comparing similarly-sized firms in the same industry that faced divergent tax changes due to their pre-existing legal status. Reductions in marginal income tax rates cause increases in sales\, profits\, investment\, and employment\, with responses driven by firms in capital-intensive industries. Workers’ earnings gains are concentrated in executive pay and in the top 10% of the within-firm income distribution\, while workers in the bottom 90% of the distribution see no change in earnings. Interpreted through the lens of a stylized model\, our estimates imply that a $1 marginal reduction in corporate tax revenue generates an additional $0.10 in output\, with 78% of gains flowing to the top 10% of the income distribution.

This property in particular gives an upper bound on the size of semi-simple groups (i.e. those with no non-trivial normal abelian subgroups) acting faithfully on n-dimensional complex Fano varieties\, and this bound only depends on n. In this talk\, we investigate the consequences of an action by a particular semi-simple group: the symmetric group. This work is joint with Louis Esser and Joaquín Moraga.

Voted Guitarist of the Decade by Guitarist magazine and Best Acoustic Fingerstylist four years in a row by readers of Guitar Player\, Adrian Legg dazzles audiences with an unclassifiable mixture of country\, jazz\, folk\, rock\, and classical styles. For all his rapid-fire playing\, though\, Adrian never loses sight of melodies and their power to move us. And on top of that\, he's a tall tale teller of the first order\, with a dry sense of humor that would be reason enough in itself to come to one of his concerts. Says Newsday: \"Unlike Richard Thompson or Robert Fripp\, in whose league he belongs\, Legg seems never to have been seduced by rock. But unlike Leo Kottke or Ry Cooder\, whom he also occasionally resembles\, Adrian Legg is an adventurer\, not an archivist.\" He is\, quite simply\, one of the greatest guitarists in the world\, and perhaps the very least heralded among that group.\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4271/4272 for more detail.

It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War DESCRIPTION:*Presented in association with UMS*.\n\nIn Guardian Passage\, artists Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova employ the tools and imagery of traditional Ukrainian art forms to face down the existential threat brought about by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Bondarenko’s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko’s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war\; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats\, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova’s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage\, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline\, red thread connects these projects\, weaving through clay and fabric\, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on “Arts and Resistance.”\n\nIrina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist\, a native of Ukraine\, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan. Irina has been with the University of Michigan Biostatistics Department for more than 20 years. and published over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Along with her career at the School of Public Health\, for the last 10 years Irina has been pursuing her interest in ceramics. Her work was featured in over a dozen national shows\, the 24th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition\, and the “Strictly Functional Pottery National Show” in 2021 and 2022\, and\, most recently\, the Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum.\n\nArtist website: https://www.ibondceramics.com/\n\nKatya Lisova is an artist\, designer\, and art historian. Born in Kyiv\, she is a graduate of the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk (2009) and the National Academy of Cultural and Artistic Leaders (2018). Since 2019 she has been teaching at the Kyiv State Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk. Her work is in the field of artistic textiles and digital graphics. She is also the art director of the “Ukrainian Unofficial” research project\, which compiles archives of Ukrainian unofficial art of the second half of the twentieth century.\n\nArtist website: https://www.flickr.com/photos/196914550@N02/albums\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

DESCRIPTION:Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance\, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology\, robotics\, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women\, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves. \nTrained as an engineer and an artist\, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex\, layered\, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving\, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood\, technology\, female bodies\, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to\, and alternative to\, patriarchal\, capitalist\, production-based\, and seemingly rational\, useful\, logical systems. \n“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” 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.\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

Over 82 percent of Rackham doctoral students who have written mentoring plans report those plans to be useful.\nFaculty who have attended a MORE workshop in the previous academic year should feel free to join the workshop only for the student-faculty work together (the last hour of the workshop). Registration is still required of both the faculty and the student.\n\nPart I\, Faculty-Only and Student-Only Sessions\, 9:30 to 11:00 a.m.\nPart II\, Faculty and Student Joint Session\, 11:10 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.\nPart III\, Optional Additional One-on-One Time\, 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.\n\nSeparate registration for faculty is available at: https://myumi.ch/73RA2\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/ezxNV.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

From its inception\, the U-M Herbarium has cataloged and described plants—both poisonous and beneficial to human health—and still serves that role today. See specimens of these plant and fungal “friends” and “foes” from the U-M Herbarium collection and learn about how the collection is used for drug discovery today.

In the realm of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids\, form determines function\, so visualizing the three-dimensional structures of molecules is key in researching the ‘tiny’ macromolecules that perform vital functions in our cells. In Biophysics 421\, under the guidance of Markos Koutmos\, Assistant Professor of Biophysics & Chemistry\, and Liz Tidwell\, PhD candidate in Biophysics\, students created models with digital modeling software and brought them to life via 3D printing. This exhibit showcases the 3D printed molecules\, scaled up to better reveal the structures that inform\, make\, break\, modify\, and move within the body.

We have carefully curated a collection of audio samples\, including names of people who played a part in this significant chapter of history (abolitionists\, conductors\, and freedom seekers)\, as well as snippets of music that represent the URR. The installation aims to immerse the audience in the aural experience and engage them in interaction. \n\nJoin us anytime October 24-28\, 12-7pm. (Closed when raining.) \n\nThe installation involves utilizing a remote-controlled boat on the Music Pond. We developed a project workflow that treats the pond as a navigational 'map.' Within the pond\, we've designated specific locations such that when the remote control boat passes over them\, it activates one of the audio samples from our collection. This approach enables active audience participation\, with individuals taking control of the boat\, effectively making the audience an integral component of our installation. \n\nWe believe that leveraging the Music Pond\, a shared space for many within the SMTD community\, and to actively involve the audience will encourage people to explore and wonder about the installation. It presents a valuable opportunity for visitors to reflect on the Underground Railroad (maybe even plant a seed)\, take a moment to honor the individuals who played a role in this historical chapter\, and contemplate its significance.\n\n*This event is supported by the Arts & Resistance Theme Semester.* UID:114164-21832423@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114164 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Diversity,Free,In Person,Interdisciplinary,Media,Music,North Campus,Social Impact LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231024T112045 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231024T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231024T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SPH DEI Fall Event: DEI 2.0 Strategic Plan Rollout DESCRIPTION:Join the SPH DEI Team and your SPH community for the launch of SPH’s new DEI 2.0 strategic plan!

Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session. \n\nAbout this talk:\nThis talk explores how risk was transformed from being understood as a property of groups to being understood as a property of individuals by examining the history of public and private insurance in the United States. Rather than seeing this change as the product of the \"great risk shift\" that occurred with the emergence of neoliberalism\, my account suggests that the individualization of risk in recent decades is only the latest instantiation of a recurrent conflict between security and freedom that has marked the evolution of capitalism. Seen from this longer historical perspective\, the \"personal responsibility revolution\" appears not as the handiwork of neoliberal policymakers\, but rather as the unintended result of social movements that contested discriminatory practices in insurance markets.\n\nAbout Greta Krippner:\nGreta Krippner is a 2023-24 John Rich Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and associate professor\, Sociology.

When COVID took Tina’s life\, Taylor started ordering identical versions of their childhood games and toys on eBay. As she assembled these objects\, Taylor recalled a memory of climbing with Tina through the skeletal frameworks of unfinished houses in the 1970s. Late at night\, the girls would pick their way through floorless rooms and speculate about their future inhabitants. In this spirit of imaginative experimentation\, Taylor began taking apart her eBay acquisitions. Gathering\, breaking\, sawing\, splicing\, painting\, gluing\, layering\, and reassembling these toys became\, for her\, a way to probe the complicated nature of a lost friendship and to explore the multidimensional nature of grief. Ultimately\, Taylor built the framework of an unfinished house to evoke those she once explored with Tina.

These polychromatic spectacles offer a diversity of colors and scintillating delights\, though they fail to acknowledge––by their very design––how they also perpetuate historically entrenched legacies of chromophobia. This talk responds to this odd contradiction by leaping backwards in time\, to analyze the tensions and power struggles in the history of illuminated light in the American city in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth-centuries. The polemic between old world (European) whiteness and the explosive colors that mark America's twentieth-century “white imaginary” are charted through an archaeological critique of early advertising\, photography\, and the development of electric palettes for large-scale illuminated signs. By zeroing in on the “White City” at Chicago’s 1893 Columbian World’s Fair\, and New York City’s “Great White Way” in the 1910s-1930s\, Carolyn Kane argues that a new training ground was forged for the American subject\, engendering a unique brand of spectatorship rooted in visual possession by way of spectacle-based consumption.Carolyn L.

He has graciously agreed to speak about his recent book\, *The Colonial Origins of Modern Social Thought: French Sociology and the Overseas Empire* (Princeton University Press\, 2023).\n\nProf. Steinmetz will join us on Tuesday\, October 24\, 2023\, from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM at 1014 Tisch. The EHW will serve light refreshments. The professor’s talk will be followed by discussant commentary from the EHW’s co-coordinators\, Keanu Heydari and Paige Newhouse\, and then will open to questions and comments from workshop participants.\n\nFrom the publisher: “In this provocative and original retelling of the history of French social thought\, George Steinmetz places the history and development of modern French sociology in the context of the French empire after World War II. Connecting the rise of all the social sciences with efforts by France and other imperial powers to consolidate control over their crisis-ridden colonies\, Steinmetz argues that colonial research represented a crucial core of the renascent academic discipline of sociology\, especially between the late 1930s and the 1960s. Sociologists\, who became favored partners of colonial governments\, were asked to apply their expertise to such “social problems” as detribalization\, urbanization\, poverty\, and labor migration. This colonial orientation permeated all the major subfields of sociological research\, Steinmetz contends\, and is at the center of the work of four influential scholars: Raymond Aron\, Jacques Berque\, Georges Balandier\, and Pierre Bourdieu.” UID:113721-21831507@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/113721 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:European,Free,Graduate,Graduate School,Graduate Students,History,Humanities,Social Sciences,Sociology,Talk LOCATION:Tisch Hall - 1014 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231108T123242 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231024T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231024T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:HHS OGC Virtual Career Information Session (10/24/2023 3pm EST) DESCRIPTION:Virtual Career Information Session Information. \nJoin us for virtual career information sessions.

In this geometry\, the micromotion can only be minimized in the axial direction\, transverse to the crystal plane. The in-plane micromotion is unavoidable\, its amplitude increasing linearly with distance from the trap center. Thus\, different ions in a large crystal experience different micromotion amplitudes\, and different Doppler shifts\, making traditional laser cooling techniques inefficient. We explored two avenues towards improving the laser cooling efficiency: the two-tone laser cooling and the micromotion-synchronized pulsed Doppler cooling\, allowing us to stabilize larger 2-d crystals than with the traditional Doppler cooling.\n\nThese experiments were enabled in part by the novel imaging system based on a CMOS camera that allows 1.5 ns temporal resolution of single photon detection. Direct observation of the trapped ion micromotion is attainable with this camera\, leading to a simplified way of micromotion detection and compensation. We also demonstrated how this camera can be used for robust\, low crosstalk detection of a trapped Ba+ ion qubit register\, with average single-qubit detection error of 4.2(1.5) ppm and a four-qubit state detection error of 17(2) ppm\, limited by the decay lifetime of the qubit.

In my lab’s research\, we seek to understand how visual regions index aspects of priority based on image-computable stimulus salience and an observer’s behavioral goals. To accomplish this goal\, we develop and apply computational neuroimaging methods to reconstruct and quantify population-level neural representations and assay predictive models of neural encoding. In this talk\, I will describe the methods we’ve developed\, and show results from several key empirical tests of priority map theory establishing how different retinotopic visual regions in human cortex differentially compute priority maps based on stimulus properties (luminance contrast\; salience-defining feature) and task demands (behaviorally-relevant location or feature). Additionally\, based on data acquired in the absence of visual stimulation\, I will show how Bayesian generative models can be used to show how activation patterns in these priority maps support performance on tasks requiring visual working memory. Overall\, I hope to convince you that these results support a theoretical framework whereby visual spatial cognition can be understood as operating via multiple interacting neural priority maps\, with different regions preferentially indexing stimulus and task-related aspects of priority. \n\n\n\n\n*Light refreshments will be served.

But \"divine image\" traditions rest on a troubling intellectual history\, one that traffics in human exceptionalism\, anthropocentrism\, and intense ableism. This talk critically examines that complex history and imagines richer alternatives\, showing how queer\, feminist\, and ecologically-informed disability wisdom can catalyze a radical recognition of the sacred among human\, animal\, and earthy kin.\n\nAbout Julia:\n\nJulia Watts Belser (she/her) is professor of Jewish Studies at Georgetown University and core faculty in Georgetown’s Disability Studies program\, as well as a rabbi and longtime activist for disability and gender justice. Her research centers on gender\, sexuality\, and disability in rabbinic literature\; she also brings classical Jewish texts into conversation with disability studies\, feminist and queer theory\, and environmental justice. She is the author of several scholarly books\, including Rabbinic Tales of Destruction: Gender\, Sex\, and Disability in the Ruins of Jerusalem (Oxford University Press\, 2018).

The struggle initiated under the leadership of Leon Trotsky proved that there was a socialist alternative to Stalinism and that there is a socialist alternative to capitalism today.\n\nThe centenary acquires immense significance in the present world situation. In this period of capitalist breakdown\, imperialist war\, and mounting struggles of the international working class\, the ideas and principles fought for by Trotsky remain vital for the building of a socialist movement today. \n\nAbout the event speaker: David North’s activity in the international workers and Trotskyist movement\, as a revolutionary journalist\, historian and political leader\, spans over a half century. He has written multiple books on the life and work of Leon Trotsky\, is presently the chairman of the Socialist Equality Party in the United States\, and has served as the chairman of the International Editorial Board of the World Socialist Web Site (WSWS).\n\nN95 Masks Required: The IYSSE takes the pandemic seriously and aims to minimize risk of COVID transmission with the ongoing surge.
