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.

She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852746@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241022T124308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241121T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241121T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Touch DESCRIPTION:Ericka Lopez is a visual artist born in Mexico and living in Los Angeles. Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition\, “Continuous Touch\,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.

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:84303-21621448@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:20241206T063101 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241121T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241121T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Houlihan Lokey Investment Banking Women's Insight Day – New York DESCRIPTION:At Houlihan Lokey\, we are committed to fostering a diverseworkforce\, promoting career growth\, and cultivating a strong sense of community.  Our dedication to diversity and inclusivity enriches our global organization and makes us better equipped to serve our clients.   Houlihan Lokey's Investment Banking Women’s Insight Day willoffer select female sophomores a firsthand look into the world of Investment Banking through valuable training and networking opportunities.

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.

The combination of coherent quantum bits\, robust single qubit control\, entangling gates\, and quantum noise-limited parametric amplifiers has yielded an unprecedented view into the physics of quantum measurement and dissipation. I will discuss our recent experimental work that focuses on harnessing entangled states to perform measurements beyond the capabilities of unentangled sensors. Key topics will include discussion of an entanglement-enabled probe of non-Markovian dynamics and time-travel-inspired metrology protocols.\n\nShort bio: Kater Murch is an experimental physicist and professor in the Department of Physics at Washington University in St. Louis. His research focuses on quantum measurement and quantum information science\, particularly exploring the boundary between quantum and classical physics. Murch received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2008. After completing postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley\, he joined the faculty at Washington University in St. Louis in 2013.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

This webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, the joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/8rNVW\n \n Scholarship and criticism surrounding the intersections of cinema and punk culture in late 1970s–early 1980s Japan are sparse\, yet what does exist tends to place heavy emphasis on “DIY” independent filmmaking (*jishu eiga*) and the oeuvre of director Ishii Sōgo (now Ishii Gakuryū). This talk attempts to widen the scope of analysis by examining other figures and content circulating in this context. Taking a cross-media approach and focusing on women participating in punk-adjacent image-making and performance as well as documentary films capturing various punk scenes active at the time\, it demonstrates the existence of a diversity of authors and modes of expression that media and subcultural histories of Japan as well as international curatorial efforts tend to overlook.\n \n Kirsten Seuffert holds a PhD in East Asian Languages and Cultures from the University of Southern California with a focus on postwar and contemporary cinema in Japan as well as a graduate certificate in visual studies. She received her master’s degree in East Asian Languages and Civilizations from the University of Pennsylvania with research centering on cinema\, gender\, and sexuality. Her dissertation project—“Adjusting Images: Women’s Bodies and Embodied Experience in Cinema and Visual Culture in Japan\, 1974–1989”—takes a multidisciplinary\, multimedia approach in order to look differently at cinema in Japan during the later 1970s and 1980s through the lenses of gender\, bodies\, and everyday life. Her research interests include performance\, authorship\, the writing of media histories\, affect\, and subcultural participation and representation. Her publications include the article “Exploding Girls\, Imploding Strategies: Media-Mixed Bodies in Late 1970s to 1980s Japanese Women’s Professional Wrestling\,” published in the Winter 2023 issue of Mechademia\, and an upcoming article in *JCMS: The Journal of Cinema and Media Studies.* Currently\, Kirsten is working on her book manuscript and researching recent biopics and bio-adaptations that look back on cinema in Japan from the 1960s through the 1980s.\n \n This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us atumcjs@umich.edu.

The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: a. The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the other portions. The final result/score/rating will thus be based on the student’s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary. b. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.c. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.Where can I view my results?a. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.b. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.Important information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) may be offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.* Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) is offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.\n UID:129076-21862139@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:1500 North Quad 105 S.

Click here to RSVP for the in-person discussion: https://www.cew.umich.edu/events/in-person-judith-butler-whos-afraid-of-gender-book-group\n\nIn Who’s Afraid of Gender?\, Butler aims to address the following question: “What kind of phantasm has gender become\, and what anxieties\, fears\, and hatreds does it collect and mobilize?” (36). While doing so\, Butler examines how this phantasm relates to today’s “myriad acts of cancellation\, pathologization\, criminalization\, and delegitimation . . . seeking to destroy freedoms and powers that social movements on the Left have struggled for decades to establish” (24). The book is a timely and necessary investigation into the weaponization of “gender” as a phantasm invoked by those calling “for the elimination of gender education\, the censorship of texts concerned with gender\, and the disenfranchisement or criminalization of transgender or genderqueer people” (36).\n\n--------------------------------------------\n\nNational Bestseller. Named a Best Book of 2024 (so far) by NPR\, Harper’s Bazaar\, W\, and Esquire\, and a Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Time\, Los Angeles Times\, Elle\, Cosmopolitan\, Kirkus\, Literary Hub\, Autostraddle\, The Millions\, Electric Literature\, and them.\n\n“A profoundly urgent intervention.” —Naomi Klein\n\n“A timely must-read for anyone actively invested in reimagining collective futurity.” —Claudia Rankine\n\nFrom a global icon\, a bold\, essential account of how a fear of gender is fueling reactionary politics around the world.\n\nJudith Butler\, the groundbreaking thinker whose iconic book Gender Trouble redefined how we think about gender and sexuality\, confronts the attacks on “gender” that have become central to right-wing movements today. Global networks have formed “anti–gender ideology movements” that are dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous\, perhaps diabolical\, threat to families\, local cultures\, civilization—and even “man” himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures\, this movement has sought to nullify reproductive justice\, undermine protections against sexual and gender violence\, and strip trans and queer people of their rights to pursue a life without fear of violence.\n\nThe aim of Who’s Afraid of Gender? is not to offer a new theory of gender but to examine how “gender” has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes\, fascist formations\, and trans-exclusionary feminists. In their vital\, courageous new book\, Butler illuminates the concrete ways that this phantasm of “gender” collects and displaces anxieties and fears of destruction. Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of “critical race theory” and xenophobic panics about migration\, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality\, fuels aggressive nationalism\, and leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation.\n\nAn essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment\, Who’s Afraid of Gender? is a bold call to refuse the alliance with authoritarian movements and to make a broad coalition with all those whose struggle for equality is linked with fighting injustice. Imagining new possibilities for both freedom and solidarity\, Butler offers us a hopeful work of social and political analysis that is both timely and timeless—a book whose verve and rigor only they could deliver.

The integration of the two services is inspired by the potential application of modular autonomous vehicles\, or pods\, in transit. Constrained by a fixed budget\, the operator of the joint system aims to minimize the total user cost by first allocating the pods between the two services and then optimizing each service. To formulate the operator's design problem\, we propose a stylized model\, in which the FR service features a simple 2D grid route structure overlaying on a square city\, and the PT service is designed as a general ride-sharing system that can be configured in different modes of operations. A case study is conducted using transit data from the Chicago region. The findings from the case study will be discussed.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Marco Nie is currently a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders. \n \nAbout the talk: \nCompassion is traditionally seen as a response to suffering—an essential reaction that seeks to alleviate distress. But what if compassion could also be a proactive force\, anticipating and mitigating suffering before it occurs? This idea introduces a paradox: Can compassion remain genuine when it is planned in advance? How can organizations prepare for suffering that has not yet manifested without losing the authenticity of their compassionate actions? \n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Ace Simpson\, author of Organizational Compassion: A Relational Approach (2024)\, will explore this paradox at the heart of compassion as a (p)response. Drawing on insights from his latest book\, he will discuss how to cultivate a culture of compassion that balances the need for preparedness with the spontaneity required for compassionate action. Attendees will gain practical insights for integrating compassion into organizational design\, creating environments that are both caring and high performing.   \n\nAce hopes that you will leave this session with a renewed perspective on fostering a compassionate organizational culture\, ready to (p)respond to suffering with thoughtful\, genuine\, and effective compassion. \n\nAbout Simpson: \nDr. Ace V. Simpson is a researcher\, educator\, and author\, currently serving as the Director of the Center for Compassion Studies in New York. He has held academic positions at UTS Business School in Sydney and\, more recently\, at Brunel Business School in London\, where he was Professor of Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior. Ace’s research focuses on cultivating organizational compassion to address challenges such as discrimination\, bullying\, and disengagement. He has collaborated with organizations\, including the NHS in the UK\, to enhance their compassion capabilities. Ace is a member of CompassionLab\, a community of scholars studying compassion in organizations\, and serves on the research council of Emory University’s Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics. His work has been published in leading journals\, including the 'Academy of Management Review' and the 'Journal of Management.' He is the co-author of 'Positive Organizational Behavior' (Routledge\, 2019) and 'Organizational Compassion' (Routledge\, 2024). \n\nHost: \nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n \nSeries Sponsors: \nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and Samuel Zell & Robert H.

He is affiliated with MIT Operations Research Center\, and MIT\nCenter for Statistics. His research interests are at the intersection of statistics\, machine learning and mathematical programming (large-scale convex and mixed integer optimization)\, and their applications to industry\, the government\, and the sciences. He is a recipient of the Leo Breiman Junior Award from the American Statistical Association\, International Indian Statistical Association Early Career Award in Statistics and Data Science\, INFORMS Donald P. Gaver\, Jr. Early Career Award for Excellence in Operations Research\, INFORMS Optimization Society Young Researchers Prize\, Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award\, INFORMS ICS Prize (Honorable Mention). He is currently serving as an Associate/Action Editor of the Annals of Statistics\, Bernoulli\, Operations Research\, and the Journal of Machine Learning Research.\n\nAbstract: Foundation models have achieved remarkable performance across various domains\, but their large model sizes lead to high computational costs (storage\, inference latency\, memory\, etc). Neural network pruning\, roughly categorized as unstructured and structured\, aims to reduce these costs by removing less-important parameters while retaining model utility as much as possible. Structured pruning is a practical way to improve inference latency on standard hardware in contrast to unstructured pruning\, requiring specialized hardware and software. In this talk\, I will discuss discrete optimization methods to address such problems. Interestingly\, algorithms from sparse regression and high-dimensional statistics can be useful here. I'll discuss how model compression tools can aid interpretability in black-box decision tree ensembles\; and how our investigations in large model pruning motivate new algorithms to accelerate branch-and-bound (integer programming) solvers with GPUs.

Coronary heart disease and heart failure are major contributors to the global burden of cardiovascular disease\, and their complexity demand a systems-engineering approach to heart regeneration. The Coulombe Lab for Heart Health and Regeneration develops engineered human myocardium (EHM) with cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-CMs) to restore cardiac muscle after myocardial infarction (MI) or in other disease states. We have developed clinically sized EHM implants for increasing cell dose up to 1 billion hiPSC-CMs and customized the hydrogel matrix\, geometry and dynamic culture. EHM implantation in a translationally relevant swine model of chronic myocardial ischemia shows that engrafted hiPSC-CMs matured in vivo without inducing tachyarrhythmia. We also develop strategies for revascularization of the host heart and EHM implant through patterning mid-sized vessels in EHM and customization of angiogenic biomaterials\, which are advancing regeneration. We are committed to empowering the next generation of scientists and engineers to implement their ideas for improving health and society through attentive mentoring\, engaged scholarship\, and active inclusion.\n\nBio:\nDr. Coulombe is an Associate Professor of Engineering and a member of the Institute for Biology\, Engineering and Medicine at Brown University. She earned a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rochester summa cum laude in 2001 and was a Whitaker Pre-doctoral Fellow\, earning a Ph.D. in Bioengineering at the University of Washington in 2007.

Could perceived increases in apex corruption be weakening democracy? We first present event study analyses of more than 170 high-profile corruption scandals involving some of the most prominent politicians in 17 Latin American countries. We show that in the aftermath of such apex corruption scandals\, support for democracy falls by 0.07𝑠𝑑\, support for authoritarianism rises by 11% and violent protests rise by 70%. We complement these results with a field experiment in Mexico. Randomized exposure to footage of apex corruption scandals\, particularly implicating politicians known for their anticorruption platforms\, decreases individuals’ support for democracy by 0.15𝑠𝑑\, willingness to trust politicians and neighbors in incentivized games by 18% and 11%\, volunteering as election observers by 45%\, and actual voter turnout by about 5𝑝𝑝\, while raising stealing from local mayors by 4%. The undermining of democratic values produces latent effects that even cumulate four months later. Seeking solutions\, priming national identity proved an unsuccessful antidote\, but providing exposure to national stock index funds holds some promise.

The first views the dynamic problem as an initial value problem. In this context\, the stationary problem arises naturally as a special type of global-in-time solution with stationary sources of force and stress. One then expects solutions to the stationary problem to play an essential role in the study of long-time asymptotics or attractors for the dynamic problem. The second line of inquiry\, which dates back essentially to the beginning of mathematical fluid mechanics\, concerns the search for traveling wave solutions. In this context\, a huge literature exists for the corresponding inviscid problem\, but progress on the viscous problem was initiated much more recently in the work of the speaker and co-authors. For technical reasons\, these results were only able to produce traveling solutions with nontrivial wave speed. In this talk we will discuss the well-posedness theory for the stationary problem and show that the solutions thus obtained lie along a one-parameter family of slowly traveling wave solutions. This is joint work with Noah Stevenson.

For example\, if R is a local ring\, s(R) = 1 implies R is regular\, and 0 < s(R) < 1 implies R is strongly F-regular which is a char p analog of klt singularities. For a globally F-regular variety X\, the F-signature function of an ample invertible sheaf is defined in an analogous way to the F-signature of the section ring along the invertible sheaf over X. In this talk\, we will discuss how the F-signature of pairs compares along proper birational maps and the positivity of the F-signature function on big divisors.

Nayland Blake shares their history as an artist\, curator and educator in a talk about how crucial the creative process is in imagining new possibilities for us as individuals and communities. \n\nSince the late 1980s\, Nayland Blake has constructed an influential body of work exploring play\, eroticism\, and the subjective experiences of desire\, power\, and loss. Inspired by feminist theory and queer subcultures\, Blake addresses the contradictions of representation in sculptures\, drawings\, performances\, and videos\, particularly as it relates to their own identity as a nonbinary multiracial artist.\n\nNayland Blake is an interdisciplinary artist living in New York. Their work has been shown extensively and was included in the 1991 Whitney Biennial\, the 1993 Venice Biennale\, and the landmark exhibition “Black Male: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary American Art” at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1994. In 2003\, a retrospective of their video work was organized by the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs\, New York. Surveys of their work have been organized by Location One in New York and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. “Nayland Blake: No Wrong Holes\,” a full-scale retrospective organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles opened in 2019 before traveling to the MIT List Visual Arts Center in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, the following year.\nNayland Blake is part of Gender Euphoria\, a semester-long explosion of queer artists and art-making. These performances\, exhibitions\, conversations\, and provocations explore how to make art and find queer joy in a state of emergency. \n\n“Teach it – Promote it – Create it – you are responsible for the continuation of the culture you love. Keep it alive through your actions.” - Nayland Blake\n\nPresented in partnership with Gender Euphoria. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. Series presenting partners: Detroit PBS and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

Set in a small Georgia town where everybody knows everybody else’s business\, *John Proctor Is the Villain* focuses on the students in a high school literature class\, and particularly on a group of girls who have strong and sometimes complicated friendships with each other. As the students discuss Arthur Miller’s *The Crucible* with their beloved teacher Mr. Smith – and as they explore\, in an after-school club\, what feminism means to them – they begin to see echoes between this classic American play about the Salem witch trials and events unfolding in their world. As those events come to a shocking climax\, their assessment of the heroes and villains in *The Crucible*\, and in their own lives\, changes forever.\n\nWritten by Kimberly Belflower\nDirected by Halena Kays\n\nRecommended Ages: 15+ UID:122629-21849462@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122629 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Social Impact,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241115T181720 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241121T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241121T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:\"Vigilant Ground\" - Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Senior Concert DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Department of Dance presents *Vigilant Ground*\, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance concert at the Performance Studio Theatre. Tickets are free and will be available at the door an hour before the start time. The concert features choreography and performance by graduating seniors Paige Ashley\, Anastasia Bredikhina\, Annie Laforet\, Madison Rogers\, & Mya Waple\, and lighting by Robert Farr-Jones. \n\nPaige Ashley’s *Tree Roots* is a combined solo and group work that explores our past selves through memories. Her solo work takes on the perspective of what it means to forget the past and the isolation that comes with this state of mind. In contrast\, Paige’s group dance brings with it a flood of memories from her childhood. Through moments of tenderness and love\, Anna Bodescu\, Alyssa Hernandez\, Stella Lansill\, Kennedy Marshall\, Megan Piagentini\, Claire Schick\, and Caitlyn Wade explore the idea that our present self is made up of every single past experience\, and to meet our present self is to also meet all of our past selves.\n\nInspired by the fast paced spycraft of the Mission Impossible movie franchise\, Anastasia Bredikhina’s *Rogue Nation* presents a high voltage ensemble work for six dancers. The cast\, Madeline Deck\, Emerson Forbes\, Bri Hicks\, Jessica Serres\, Brooke Shaw\, and Olivia Weber perform thrilling\, evasive physical maneuvers with a dynamism and stealth that promises to entertain and surprise. The dancers dodge and deflect obstacles while navigating intricate pathways around each other\, tapping into the renegade aspects of going rogue. In her solo work\, Escalate\, Anastasia explores self-discovery through the mindset of the mythological siren\, luring the audience towards her display of physical intensity. The idea of deceptive intentions plays out in captivating ways.\n\nAnnie Laforet’s group work\, *echoes of Him*\, explores the lasting effects of growing up catholic. The work breaks apart religious trauma and catholic guilt to find what lies underneath. Laforet and her dancers\, Cynthia Cao\, Leah Kropp\, Nathan Mannella\, Carly Perrino\, and Isabella Garber toe the line between heaven and hell to find what is right and wrong. Original projection art by Elle Schwinderson.. Laforet’s solo\, Mary’s World\, is a dance dedicated to Laforet’s mother\, Mary\, who overcame intense trauma after being hit by a car and left in a coma when she was just fifteen. Against all odds\, Mary woke up from the coma\, learned how to walk again\, and took her life into her own hands.\n\nMadison Rogers’ *Fight or Flight* touches on themes of survival and what it means to feel “safe” when confronted with environmental or psychological dangers. Dancers\, Eve Anderson\, Natalia Gomez\, Gabby Kiminyo\, Megan Piagentini\, Claire Schick\, Amelie Vidrio\, & Caitlyn Wade ask how we endure\, persist\, and outlast these challenges. In keeping the memories of her late father close\, Rogers’ solo explores the complicated way that fight-or-flight responses manifest in the body. \n\nIn Mya Waple’s group\, *Channel Surfing*\, dancers indulge in a funky\, dream-like aesthetic that centers around a complex love story. Transitioning between live performance and film elements\, dancers Brooke Forrey\, Chloe Kim\, Curry Jackson\, Gabriella Walker\, Landrie Adams\, Madeline Deck\, Megan Piagentini\, Mallory McKenna\, Olivia Weber\, and Peyton Price\, will take the audience on a journey through time and space. Waple’s solo\, The Billboard Says…\, explores nostalgia and all its complexities. It captures the bittersweetness of reflecting on the past\, while simultaneously diving head first into what has yet to come.

With an unmistakable ethereal tenor\, diverse fingerstyle guitar work\, and a taste for the cinematic\, DuPont steers the classic eloquence and lyricism of 70’s Americana into the iridescent haze of indie pop.

With a coy smile\, a wink to the back row\, and carefree expertise\, they spin their crystalline vocals through a loop pedal while strumming the weathered acoustic guitar they acquired for leading worship in high school. LaJoye is an East Coast singer/songwriter with Midwest roots\, a classically-trained violinist with a proclivity for Broadway vocals\, and a student of Americana music with a theology degree hanging in their studio. \n\nhttps://www.chrisdupontmusic.com/\nhttps://www.spencerlajoye.com/ UID:122016-21847993@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122016 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241119T181648 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241121T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241121T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:Emily Brownlee\, oboe DESCRIPTION:Graduate student Emily Brownlee performs a recital.

Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition\, “Continuous Touch\,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.

Unlike traditional hierarchical mentoring\, which pairs a senior mentor with a junior mentee\, peer mentoring reduces power dynamics and creates a more egalitarian environment. This approach can be especially beneficial in academic and research settings\, where social and cultural factors may influence traditional mentoring dynamics.\n\nIn this talk\, I will explore the impact of peer mentoring in Astronomy\, highlighting the League of Underrepresented Minoritized Astronomers (LUMA) as an example. LUMA is an international peer-mentoring program specifically designed for URM women in astronomy\, physics\, and planetary science\, including graduate students\, postdoctoral researchers\, research scientists\, and faculty. I will outline LUMA’s mission\, structure\, and key programming\, underscoring why such peer-based initiatives are essential for fostering inclusivity and professional growth within underrepresented communities.

Through a novel experimental design\, I identify the causal impact of compatibility\, showing that participants’ willingness to pay for smartphones increases by 9% of their retail price when compatible with a laptop. I combine the experimental results with a smartphone demand model that incorporates compatibility with laptops to assess the welfare effects of (i) regulations mandating cross-brand compatibility (“open ecosystems”) and (ii) crossmarket mergers. I find that in 2018-2019\, closed ecosystems benefit Samsung by locking non-Apple laptop owners into lower-quality Samsung smartphones\, while the switch to open ecosystems boosts Apple’s smartphone market share. However\, in 2020-2023\, closed ecosystems benefit Apple\, as Samsung’s top smartphones are superior\, prompting Apple laptop owners to switch to Samsung smartphones in open ecosystems. In both periods\, consumer surplus rises due to lower prices and greater product variety in open ecosystems. A counterfactual merger between Samsung and HP\, Apple’s main smartphone and laptop competitors\, respectively\, results in lower smartphone market concentration but raises Samsung smartphone prices\, disadvantaging consumers who value compatibility less.

Optimal transport gives new insights into the structural properties of matchings obtained from pursuing these objectives\, and into the trade-offs between different objectives. Matching markets with aligned preferences provide a tractable stylized model capturing supply-demand imbalances in a range of settings such as partnership formation\, school choice\, organ donor exchange\, and markets with transferable utility where bargaining over transfers happens after a match is formed.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Nonparametric procedures are frequently employed in predictive and inferential modeling to relate random variables without imposing specific parametric forms. In supervised learning\, for instance\, our focus is often on the conditional mean function that links predictive covariates to a numerical outcome of interest. While many existing statistical learning methods achieve this with optimal statistical performance\, their computational expenses often do not scale favorably with increasing sample sizes. This challenge is exacerbated in certain “online settings\,” where data is continuously collected and estimates require frequent updates.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss a class of nonparametric stochastic optimization methods. The estimates are constructed using stochastic gradient descent (SGD) over a function space of varying capacity. Combining this computational approach with compact function approximation strategies—such as utilizing eigenfunctions in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space—certain nonparametric estimators can attain both optimal statistical properties and minimal (computational) space expense. Additionally\, I will introduce a rolling validation procedure\, an online adaptation of cross-validation\, designed for hyperparameter tuning. This model selection process naturally integrates with incremental SGD algorithms\, imposing a negligible extra computational burden.\n\nhttps://terrytianyuzhang.github.io/ UID:124596-21853249@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124596 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241122T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241122T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621449@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:20241030T091958 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241122T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241122T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beautiful Works of Art - Student Art Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Join us in our 4th floor Atrium to view our next student art exhibition\, Beautiful Works of Art.

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).

A cluster-randomized trial compared hourly workers in worksites randomized to launch the new voice channel (Health and Well-Being Committees\, or HaWCs) with those working for the same firm in control sites. This participatory intervention involved a small group of frontline workers and supervisors who solicited concerns and ideas about safety\, work processes\, and other workplace stressors from the broader workforce and then developed and implemented improvement projects in response. HaWCs were an isolated change\, rather than one component of a newly adopted\, broader high-performance work system\, and they were implemented in non-union worksites\, raising questions about their likely impact. Using administrative data on the population of hourly workers in these buildings\, an intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis finds significantly reduced risk of turnover in HaWC buildings in the year after randomization. Workers in buildings where HaWCs completed more projects were even less likely to exit\, showing the value of voice in yielding visible improvements. HaWCs also reduced job exits over and above both pre-existing and new\, alternative channels for providing employee feedback to management\, suggesting their value lies not only in information flow but also in their participatory nature.

In problems where very little labeled data is available\, the classical Laplacian regularization gives very poor results. This can be explained through its PDE continuum limit\, which is an ill-posed elliptic equation. Much work recently has been focused on designing graph-based learning methods with well-posed continuum limits\, including the p-Laplacian\, higher order Laplacians\, re-weighted Laplacians\, and Poisson equations. \n\nIn this talk\, we will survey this literature\, and present our recent work on using Poisson equations for semi-supervised learning. We will present theoretical results which establish that learning with Poisson equations is provably well-posed at arbitrarily low label rates\, and experimental results showing that it outperforms existing graph-based semi-supervised learning methods on challenging data sets. We will also present some recent work on applications of Poisson learning to graph-based active learning\, where the goal is to select a training set with the most informative examples\, often in a sequential online setting starting at extremely low label rates.\n\nEvent will be in-person and on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98734707290\n\nContact: Selim Esedoglu UID:121475-21846587@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121475 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240913T140344 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241122T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241122T160000 SUMMARY:Meeting:DocDi DESCRIPTION:The DocDi Group is a collaborative forum\, open to both students and faculty\, who share an interest in the areas of Field Linguistics\, Fieldwork Methods\, Language Documentation\, and Language Description.

While significant progress has been made for supersymmetric solutions\, a key question remains: what is the microstructure of the Schwarzschild black hole\, the simplest solution in General Relativity? In this talk\, we will introduce a new approach to account for the entropy of the Schwarzschild black hole through branes and antibranes in string theory. We will explore recent progress in constructing Schwarzschild microstates in supergravity\, which appear as smooth\, horizonless geometries that deviate from the Schwarzschild black hole in the near-horizon region.

In particular\, their monomial expansion is given by a bumpless pipe dream formula. Quantum double Schubert polynomials are polynomial representatives of Schubert classes in the torus-equivariant quantum cohomology of the complete flag variety\, but no analogous combinatorial formulation has previously been discovered. In this talk\, we will first cover the bumpless pipe dreams formula for double Schubert polynomials. Then we will introduce a generalization of the bumpless pipe dreams called quantum bumpless pipe dreams\, giving a combinatorial formula for quantum double Schubert polynomials as a sum of binomial weights of quantum bumpless pipe dreams. Finally\, we will give a sketch for the proof of this new formula.

Search Engines is funded by the U-M Arts Initiative and the DISCO Network\, housed in the Digital Studies Institute. In the last year\, Search Engines brought artists such as Astria Suparak\, Morehshin Allahyari\, and Paul Preciado to the Ann Arbor campus for workshops\, performances\, and panel discussions. \n\nThe Search History zine mediates on the implications of an increasingly digital world and asks questions like: How does art help us redefine what technology is? What is your vision of the future and how can art and technology make it a reality? And how do interdisciplinary practices in technology expand traditional knowledge production and storytelling?\n\nThe Search History Zine Launch will include conversation\, food\, and reading from zine contributors. Join us on Friday\, November 22nd 3PM-5PM ET in North Quad Space 2435 or on Zoom to celebrate the launch of Search History!\n\nWe want to make our events accessible to all participants.

In this talk\, we will explore other approaches to non-archimedean geometry. Tate was the first to successfully develop a form of non-archimedean geometry. Here\, the basic objects of study are rigid analytic spaces. These are obtained by gluing maximal spectra of affinoid algebras endowed with Grothendieck topologies. However\, rigid spaces are deficient in points\, so several refinements have evolved. Raynaud treats rigid spaces as generic fibers of formal models over the valuation ring. Huber develops a new framework called adic spaces\, which are generalizations of rigid spaces. If time permits\, we will also discuss cohomology of these spaces.

This small moon is inferred to have an extensive body of water beneath its outer ice shell - at least below the South Polar Terrain (SPT). This inference is based on the observations of active jets feeding a large plume emanating from the SPT\, the detection of salts and silica particles in plume material and Saturn’s E-ring\, and the variations in geology seen between regions within and outside of the SPT. The amplitude of forced libration experienced by Enceladus requires mechanical decoupling of the ice shell from the underlying core\, which in turn has been interpreted to require a global ocean underlying the ice crust. We explore an alternative interpretation that does not include a global ocean but remains consistent with the observed libration and the gravity observations. The observed gravity field is consistent with a thinning of the ice crust at the SPT underlain by a confined regional sea. Jet activity on Enceladus is documented to be modulated by the tides as Enceladus orbits around Saturn\, which we propose is driven by the interplay of strike slip motion on the Tiger Stripes with geometric complexities in these fault systems. The importance of geophysical exploration of Enceladus to understand habitability is clear. We discuss a variety of modern geodetic techniques that should be considered in formulating future missions to this fascinating moon.

He was able to correct a number of mistakes\, fill some earlier gaps in the evidence\, resolve some previously irresolvable problems\, and detect some previously unknowable complications. He has published the results in the form of three articles\; this lecture will summarize his main findings.\n \n Lothar von Falkenhausen is Distinguished Professor of Chinese Archaeology and Art History at UCLA\, where he has taught since 1993. He is also on the faculty of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA\, of which he served as Associate Director from 2004 to 2014\, and he holds a concurrent part-time appointment as Visiting Professor (formerly Changjiang Chair\, 2017-20) at Xibei University in Xi’an (China). Falkenhausen was educated at Bonn University\, Peking University\, Kyoto University\, and Harvard University\, receiving his PhD in anthropology from Harvard in 1988. His research mainly concerns the archaeology of Bronze Age China\, focusing on large interdisciplinary and historical issues on which archaeological materials can provide significant new information. His major books are \"Suspended Music: Chime Bells in the Culture of Bronze Age China\" (1993) and the award-winning \"Chinese Society in the Age of Confucius (1000-250 BC): The Archaeological Evidence\" (2006\; also published in Japanese\, Korean\, and Chinese translations). A new monograph on the economic archaeology of Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age China is in press. Falkenhausen was co-Principal Investigator of an international archaeological project on ancient salt production in the Yangzi River basin (1999-2004) and has been serving as Instructor of Record of the International Archaeological Field School at Yangguanzhai (2010-). He has served on the Scientific Council of the French School of Far Eastern Studies (2005-2011) and on the US President’s Cultural Property Advisory Committee (2012-2020). He is a Full Member of the German Archaeological Institute\, an Honorary Research Fellow of the Shaanxi Archaeological Academy\, an Honorary Professor of Zhejiang University\, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, a Fellow of the American Philosophical Society\, and a Corresponding Member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres (Institut de France). \n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at chinese.studies@umich.edu.

In this talk\, we will explore the motivation behind QML and introduce fundamental concepts that make quantum-enhanced learning distinctive and powerful. Starting with an accessible introduction to classical versus quantum machine learning\, we will delve into the basics of variational quantum algorithms like the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) and Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). We will discuss how these algorithms can be applied to real-world optimization problems and design a quantum classifier using variational circuits.

Tickets are free and will be available at the door an hour before the start time. The concert features choreography and performance by graduating seniors Paige Ashley\, Anastasia Bredikhina\, Annie Laforet\, Madison Rogers\, & Mya Waple\, and lighting by Robert Farr-Jones. \n\nPaige Ashley’s *Tree Roots* is a combined solo and group work that explores our past selves through memories. Her solo work takes on the perspective of what it means to forget the past and the isolation that comes with this state of mind. In contrast\, Paige’s group dance brings with it a flood of memories from her childhood. Through moments of tenderness and love\, Anna Bodescu\, Alyssa Hernandez\, Stella Lansill\, Kennedy Marshall\, Megan Piagentini\, Claire Schick\, and Caitlyn Wade explore the idea that our present self is made up of every single past experience\, and to meet our present self is to also meet all of our past selves.\n\nInspired by the fast paced spycraft of the Mission Impossible movie franchise\, Anastasia Bredikhina’s *Rogue Nation* presents a high voltage ensemble work for six dancers. The cast\, Madeline Deck\, Emerson Forbes\, Bri Hicks\, Jessica Serres\, Brooke Shaw\, and Olivia Weber perform thrilling\, evasive physical maneuvers with a dynamism and stealth that promises to entertain and surprise. The dancers dodge and deflect obstacles while navigating intricate pathways around each other\, tapping into the renegade aspects of going rogue. In her solo work\, Escalate\, Anastasia explores self-discovery through the mindset of the mythological siren\, luring the audience towards her display of physical intensity. The idea of deceptive intentions plays out in captivating ways.\n\nAnnie Laforet’s group work\, *echoes of Him*\, explores the lasting effects of growing up catholic. The work breaks apart religious trauma and catholic guilt to find what lies underneath. Laforet and her dancers\, Cynthia Cao\, Leah Kropp\, Nathan Mannella\, Carly Perrino\, and Isabella Garber toe the line between heaven and hell to find what is right and wrong. Original projection art by Elle Schwinderson.. Laforet’s solo\, Mary’s World\, is a dance dedicated to Laforet’s mother\, Mary\, who overcame intense trauma after being hit by a car and left in a coma when she was just fifteen. Against all odds\, Mary woke up from the coma\, learned how to walk again\, and took her life into her own hands.\n\nMadison Rogers’ *Fight or Flight* touches on themes of survival and what it means to feel “safe” when confronted with environmental or psychological dangers. Dancers\, Eve Anderson\, Natalia Gomez\, Gabby Kiminyo\, Megan Piagentini\, Claire Schick\, Amelie Vidrio\, & Caitlyn Wade ask how we endure\, persist\, and outlast these challenges. In keeping the memories of her late father close\, Rogers’ solo explores the complicated way that fight-or-flight responses manifest in the body. \n\nIn Mya Waple’s group\, *Channel Surfing*\, dancers indulge in a funky\, dream-like aesthetic that centers around a complex love story. Transitioning between live performance and film elements\, dancers Brooke Forrey\, Chloe Kim\, Curry Jackson\, Gabriella Walker\, Landrie Adams\, Madeline Deck\, Megan Piagentini\, Mallory McKenna\, Olivia Weber\, and Peyton Price\, will take the audience on a journey through time and space. Waple’s solo\, The Billboard Says…\, explores nostalgia and all its complexities. It captures the bittersweetness of reflecting on the past\, while simultaneously diving head first into what has yet to come.

Our production dives deep into the humanity of these iconic figures\, revealing how their relationships and decisions are shaped by the systems of power around them.\n\nIn an effort to create new opportunities and push boundaries\, many roles have been gender-bent\, allowing women and AFAB performers to shine in vocal parts that challenge and inspire\, while also offering a new lens on these characters. This approach breaks from tradition\, distancing the figures from their biblical origins and presenting them as complex\, relatable people.\n\nWe aren’t telling a biblical or historical tale here—this is Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s work of fiction\, and our production treats it that way. Any resemblance to real-life events or people is purely coincidental\, as every artistic decision was made to serve this story.

Set in a small Georgia town where everybody knows everybody else’s business\, *John Proctor Is the Villain* focuses on the students in a high school literature class\, and particularly on a group of girls who have strong and sometimes complicated friendships with each other. As the students discuss Arthur Miller’s *The Crucible* with their beloved teacher Mr. Smith – and as they explore\, in an after-school club\, what feminism means to them – they begin to see echoes between this classic American play about the Salem witch trials and events unfolding in their world. As those events come to a shocking climax\, their assessment of the heroes and villains in *The Crucible*\, and in their own lives\, changes forever.\n\nWritten by Kimberly Belflower\nDirected by Halena Kays\n\nRecommended Ages: 15+ UID:122730-21849578@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122730 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Social Impact,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241120T121636 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241122T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241122T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Symphony Band DESCRIPTION:Anchored by a residency with award-winning composer and Michigan alum Clarice Assad\, the Symphony Band performs a collection of music that showcases dynamic emotional contrast and drama.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817971@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241030T091958 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241123T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241123T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beautiful Works of Art - Student Art Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Join us in our 4th floor Atrium to view our next student art exhibition\, Beautiful Works of Art.
