This exhibit features various aspects of the Native North American powwow. More specifically, it features the history and culture behind Ann Arbor’s "Dance for Mother Earth Powwow," which is approaching its much-anticipated 50th celebration.

The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow is a multi-decade, intertribal celebration of Indigenous cultures. It grew from its early beginnings as a small gathering in a field just outside of Ann Arbor into one of the largest student-led powwows in North America. The event attracts crowds of thousands — dancers, singers, artists, tribal members from across the country, and non-Indigenous members of the community.

Stop by to learn more about The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow, modern Indigenous culture, and resources to connect to today on campus.

This exhibition was curated by Michigan Library Scholar interns, Allison Jiang and Andrea Medina. The Michigan Library Scholars internship program provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to research and develop a capstone project under the guidance of experienced library professionals at one of the largest academic research libraries in the world.

Exhibition:"I have a crisis for you": Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War

An exhibit curated by Grace Mahoney and Jessica Zychowicz
Featuring work by Kinder Album, JT Blatty, Oksana Briukhovetska (MFA, Stamps School of Art and Design), Oksana Kazmina, Sonya Hukaylo, Svetlana Lavochkina, Kateryna Lisovenko, and Lyuba Yakimchuk.

Lane Hall Exhibit Space
204 South State Street

About the exhibit:
In February 2022, the world witnessed the invasion of Ukraine and all-out war of aggression by the Russian Federation. Since this time, massive casualties, human rights violations, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing, illustrate in bomb shelters, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document, create, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.

Curated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna), "'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters, photographers, filmmakers, poets, translators, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east.

The featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:

“— our love’s gone missing, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”

Like in Yakimchuk’s poem, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine, juxtapose, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships, the workings interior lives, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship.

The exhibit will be accompanied by a companion website which includes an expanded set of informational and aid-related resources.

"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War" is hosted by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies with co-sponsorship from the Center for Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, the Museum Studies Program, the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

Class / Instruction:CMENAS Fall Colloquium. Higher Ed between the Global Economy and the 4th Industrial Revolution
2022-10-31 12:00 - 14:00 | Off Campus Location
2022 CMENAS Fall Colloquium: Higher Education & Reformation across the MENA: A Geopolitical Exploration

“Between the Global Economy and the 4th Industrial Revolution”

Shana Cohen, University of Cambridge (UK): *Why doesn't higher education lead to jobs in North Africa?*

This presentation will examine how governments in the region, like that in Morocco, have invested in higher education and the political and economic importance of this investment. While participation in higher education has increased, unemployment rates amongst graduates have remained relatively high compared to groups with lower education rates for decades. This has implications for intergenerational equality, social and political identity, and even public revenue based on taxation. These trends provoked the Arab Spring and continue to be critical for politics, despite the backsliding on democratic reform. The presentation explores these issues substantively and how they can be researched.

Magdalena Karolak, Zayed University (UAE): *The complexity of tertiary education reforms in the Gulf Cooperation Council: A case study of Bahrain *

This presentation explores, to begin with, the growth of tertiary education institutions in the context of the Gulf Council Cooperation (GCC) countries. The overview focuses on the expansion of the sector in light of the population growth, absorption of graduates into the labor market, economic diversification, and strategic planning deployed by the GCC governments. Added to this are the requirements related to the 4th Industrial Revolution and the role of education in preparing a versatile workforce. The analysis also stresses the differences in terms of business models, the variety of the educational offer, and the student body. Secondly, using the case study of Bahrain, the presentation illustrates the processes of standardization, regulation, and control over tertiary education institutions and the difficulties experienced in the past with regard to meeting the requirements. All in all, the overview presents the complexities of carrying out educational reforms in the GCC context.

Speaker Bios:

Shana Cohen is the director of TASC, an independent think tank based in Dublin that focuses on issues related to inequality and democracy in Ireland and the EU. She is also an affiliated lecturer with the Department of Sociology, University of Cambridge, and co-editor of the *Journal of North African Studies*. She has conducted research in Morocco for many years, examining the social consequences of economic policy and the political role of civil society.

Workshop / Seminar:PSC Brownbag Series: Location, Location, Location: The Housing Benefits of the 1944 GI Bill and the Racialized Stratification of Homeownership Across Place
2022-10-31 12:00 - 12:50 | Institute For Social Research - 1430
For more than a century, urban scholars have researched the racialized spatial order in the United States. Many studies have examined whether the spatial assimilation or place stratification model of residential segregation is more descriptive of the residential patterns of different racial and ethnic groups. The spatial assimilation model posits that racial and ethnic groups live in different places because of group differences in preferences and financial resources, while the place stratification model states that discrimination constrains the residential options of Black families in particular. What remains unclear, however, is the extent to which a policy that increases equality in the financial resources between Black and White people could increase the probability that they live in similar kinds of places, thus resulting in spatial assimilation, rather than place stratification. To examine this question, I take the case of the Home Loan Guaranty of the 1944 GI Bill (HLG) – a billion-dollar policy that could have reduced racial inequality in the financial resources available to purchase a home – and examine the policy’s contributions to either spatial assimilation or place stratification between the Black and White WWII veterans who benefitted from this policy. Results indicate that the HLG increased homeownership across race, but it did so in different places, with Black men owning homes in cities, and Whites owning in suburbs by 1960. In sum, the HLG did in fact increase homeownership, but it also contributed to the concentration of wealth and opportunity in White places and disinvestment and poverty in Black places.

TITLE
Reverse Engineering Human Cooperation

ABSTRACT
Human cooperation is distinctly powerful. We collaborate with others to accomplish together what none of us could do on our own; we share the benefits of collaboration fairly and trust others to do the same. Even young children understand, learn from, and collaborate with others in ways that are unparalleled in other animal species and are still lacking in our most sophisticated artificial intelligences. What are the cognitive representations and processes that underlie these distinct abilities and what are their origins?
In the Foundations portion of the talk, I will review models of the emergence of cooperation that have been worked out over the past 50 years in game theory, psychology, evolutionary biology, and computer science. While highly influential, these models leave out some of the most important cognitive capacities that enable the unprecedented scale and scope of human cooperation. In the Frontiers portion, I will present a computational framework based on the integration of individually rational, hierarchical Bayesian models of learning, together with socially rational game-theoretic models of cooperation. In computational and behavioral experiments I will show how this framework can explain how the cognitive structures underlying cooperation might evolve, social knowledge can be learned, and how cooperative behavior is generalized in the moment across an infinitude of possible situations: inferring the intentions and reputations of others, distinguishing who is friend or foe, and learning a new moral value all from just a few observations of behavior.
__________

The Foundations & Frontiers Speaker Series brings leading cognitive scientists to U-M to present a special pair of presentations on the same day. The first presentation serves as an introduction to an important theoretical idea or method in the field - the Foundations. The second presentation concerns the application of that idea or method to an innovative topic, thus exploring the Frontiers of the field in a way that highlights the significance of the theoretical idea.

Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Boosted Higgs: Made Possible by Jets and Deep Learning
2022-10-31 15:00 - 16:00 | West Hall - 335
Higgs bosons produced at high momentum are rare but measurable. Their kinetic spectrum can give us a unique insight on whether anomalous interactions are present at the TeV scale. The production of Higgs boson pairs is even rarer - about 1000 times less frequent- but, in new physics models, it can be enhanced, especially when the pairs are produced at high momentum. This talk reviews how final states with jets have enabled the exploration of these rare processes, even in a difficult collider environment that is full of quarks and gluons such as the LHC, and how advancements on jet substructure and graph neural networks have drastically improved our capability of identifying boosted Higgs bosons and increased our physics reach.

The information generated by qubits is at helium temperature and localized. Magnons that are coupled to qubits and optical photons can shuttle information created by qubits at a long distance and up to room temperature. Two-dimensional magnetic semiconductors are attractive candidates to serve as this magnon medium because they can hold both tightly-bound excitons with large oscillator strength and potentially long-lived coherent magnons due to the presence of bandgap and spatial confinement. In this talk, I will discuss the nature of magnon-exciton coupling in the two-dimensional van der Waals antiferromagnetic semiconductor CrSBr. Then, I will talk about how the exciton-coupled magnons coherently propagate in time and space. Lastly, I will discuss the implication of strong coupling between magnons (0.1 meV) to excitons (1.3 eV), and relatively long coherent propagation length (7 Âµm) and time (10 ns) in magnonics, quantum information science, and optoelectronics.

Lecture / Discussion:Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series, Fall 2022
2022-10-31 16:00 - 18:00, 2022-11-02 16:00 - 18:00 | Michigan League - Hussey, 2nd Floor
The Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series is among the most prestigious international platforms for the presentation of new work on Roman history and culture. The Jerome Lectures are presented at both the American Academy in Rome and the University of Michigan. Scheduled for Fall 2022, in the forty-ninth year of the lecture series, Amy Richlin, Distinguished Research Professor of Classics at UCLA will be delivering four lectures on the theme of "Dirty Words: The Selective Survival of Latin Erotica."

Amy Richlin works on Roman society and culture, especially women’s history, Roman comedy and satire, and the history of sexuality. Her most recent book, Slave Theater in the Roman Republic: Plautus and Popular Comedy, won the Goodwin Award from the Society for Classical Studies. Her Jerome Lectures spring from her career-long fascination with the simultaneous radical difference and deep continuities between ancient and modern sex/gender systems.

All lectures will take place in a hybrid format at 4:00 PM. In person: on the 2nd Floor of the Michigan League. Virtually: live-streamed via LSA ITS

- Monday, October 31st - How Pederasty Got Lost

Livestream: https://ummedia01.umnet.umich.edu/lsa/lsa103122.html

Summary: after a brief history of how the history of ancient sexuality started to be written in the 1970s, this lecture presents an overview of pederastic texts in classical Latin and the co-implication of Roman pederasty with slavery. This continues into “retrosexuality” as writers in the 100s CE produce poetry that is explicitly grounded in earlier poetry. Then three main questions: how did this discourse survive the transformation of Western Europe into Christendom? What does this discourse tell about the transformation of the ancient sex/gender system? Why is it important to us?

- Wednesday, November 2nd - Sidonius Apollinaris in Visigothic Gaul: Love Among the Ruins

Livestream: https://ummedia01.umnet.umich.edu/lsa/lsa110222.html

Summary: this lecture focuses on a great transitional figure of the 400s CE. A super-rich aristocrat who lived in an enormous villa in southern Gaul, Sidonius survived the Visigothic takeover and became bishop of Clermont. In his voluminous poems and letters he attests to his fear that traditional Latin literature will disappear, producing an account in which pederastic love is visible as an erasure – although Sidonius does turn a queer eye on the Visigoth Theodoric.

- Friday, November 4th - Jerome’s Captive Slave-Woman and the Latin Canon

Livestream: https://ummedia01.umnet.umich.edu/lsa/lsa110422.html

Summary: one of the main reasons classical Latin survived is that Church fathers like St. Jerome could not bear to abandon the curriculum they were trained in. But in the Middle Ages Jerome’s reading list meant different things to the monks that copied texts over and to those who set Church policy on sexual behavior. Now pederasty was a sin, although the heaviest blame fell, surprisingly, on the youngest boys. Yet the 1100s saw the rise of several monkish poets who wrote pederastic poetry. After a late-medieval backlash, the Italian Renaissance found teachers editing even the Carmina Priapea as a project with their students.

- Monday, November 7th - Curriculum Reform and Expurgation in the 1700s and 1800s

Livestream: https://ummedia01.umnet.umich.edu/lsa/lsa110722.html

Summary: grammar schools in the 1600s, following the tradition stretching back to Jerome, taught mainly Greek and Latin, including satire (often unexpurgated). An editor of the X-rated Greek pederastic poet Strato in 1764 claims that all students have access to Catullus, Martial, Petronius, and the Priapea. Yet this aspect of education troubled the puritanical, who not unreasonably asked why Christian schools should be teaching about sins and gods. A survey of schoolbooks and curricula shows that conflicting systems continued to coexist. Today we are more likely to teach Catullus and Petronius to undergraduates than the Victorians were; should we teach them whole?

Workshop / Seminar:IOE 813 Seminar: Peng Zhang and Sameer D. Saini
2022-10-31 16:30 - 17:30 | Industrial and Operations Engineering Building - 1680
The prevalence of chronic liver disease (CLD) is increasing in the Veterans Health Administration. Access to specialty care is important for patients with CLD, and hence accurate risk stratification algorithms are needed for consult management.

Indexes such as Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score from electronic medical records have been utilized but only performed well for patients with decompensated liver disease. Imaging biomarkers, which reflect body composition and frailty, have been shown to be strongly associated with mortality.

In this talk, we will introduce how we analyze CT images and extract biomarkers automatically through modern deep-learning algorithms. We then utilize these imaging biomarkers together with clinical data to predict mortality.

Peng Zhang, Ph.D. is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Surgery and Director of Advanced Analytics at the Morphomic Analysis Group. Dr. Zhang received his undergraduate degree in Mathematics from Peking University in Beijing, China, and his doctoral degree in Biostatistics from Harvard University. His primary research interest is to design personalized treatment decision support and strategies through analytic morphomics, which are anatomically indexed information extracted from Computed Tomography (CT) images. Dr. Zhang's research interests include an array of clinical outcomes, such as injuries in motor vehicle crashes, long/short-term surgical outcomes, cancer occurence/recurrence (lung, adrenal, liver, esophageal, colon), and metabolic diseases (type-2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).

Sameer Saini, MD, MS is a Professor in the Division of Gastroenterology at University of Michigan and Director of the VA Ann Arbor HSR&D Center for Clinical Management Research (CCMR). He also serves as Co-Director of the NIH T32 GI Epidemiology Training Program and Director of the Gastroenterology Early Career Faculty Mentoring Program at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on the appropriate use of resource-limited medical procedures, such as colonoscopy and upper endoscopy, the development of “next-generation” performance measures, and the development and evaluation of complex interventions to reduce the use of low-value care. He uses a variety of methodological approaches in his work, including simulation modeling, mixed methods, and implementation science. He has a long list of current and former post-doctoral mentees.

The seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary, systems-engineering approach.

Workshop / Seminar:Miscalibration, overconfidence, and uncertainty
2022-11-01 04:00 - 17:15 | Ross School of Business - Blau 3560
Overconfidence is considered to be one of the most prominent behavioral biases, and has been studied with students, executives, and investors using different variants of a confidence interval task with large intervals such as 90%. On average this research has found that individuals are overprecise, leading this type of overconfidence to sometimes be labelled as the “most robust form of overconfidence”. With over 1000 participants, we study different versions of confidence interval tasks, with widths spanning from 10% to 90%. We show that the aggregate finding of overconfidence can be reversed by examining small instead of large intervals. In what we consider to be our most reliable interval task, we find that the magnitude of underconfidence for small intervals is similar to the magnitude of overconfidence for large intervals. Hence, when aggregating across small and large intervals in this task, participants are on average well calibrated. Our results suggest that this form of overconfidence may not be as robust as previously thought.

Lecture / Discussion:Biopsychology Colloquium - Non-canonical roles for endogenous opioids in affect and motivation
2022-11-01 12:00 - 13:00 | East Hall - 4448
In 2020, abuse of prescription and illicit opioids resulted in nearly 70,000 deaths in the United States. The transition from therapeutic to abusive opioid use occurs through the maladaptive activation of mesocorticolimbic structures, such as the nucleus accumbens medial shell (mNAcSh) in the ventral forebrain. Within mNAcSh, mu opioid receptor (MOPR) stimulation can powerfully modulate reward related behaviors, such as food intake, social interaction, or drug seeking. While extensive insights into opioid function were established in the late 20th century, the application of new technologies and clinical meta-analyses make it increasingly clear that the functional heuristics that have guided opioid biomedical research may be flawed. Here we explore how seemingly conflicting scientific literature from the 20th and 21st centuries may instead work together to provide new insights into how opioids function in the brain and periphery, with a special emphasis on mesocorticolimbic neural circuits and technology development.

Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Lunch Seminar / student evalution - Hybrid: Seasonal shifts in a montane meadow ecosystem above and belowground with climate change
2022-11-01 12:00 - 13:00 | Biological Sciences Building - 1010
Our weekly lunch seminar series featuring internal speakers in the field of ecology and evolutionary biology.

Abstract
Climate change is impacting temperature and moisture conditions across the seasons in montane meadows, from accelerating snowmelt date early in the growing season to greater drying of the soil in the later part of the growing season. Though there are distinct impacts throughout a growing season, we know little about how climate change will impact ecosystem function, such as productivity and nutrient cycling, beyond when these processes are typically measured during peak seasonal productivity. Additionally, a growing body of work acknowledges the linkage between plants and soil and shows that an impact on one has cascading effects on the other either bottom-up or top-down. During the seminar, I will discuss how climate change, through abiotic and biotic effects, is impacting plant and soil conditions at a fine-scale resolution throughout the growing season.

This seminar will be in-person and livestreaming on Zoom (link this page). Contact eebsemaccess@umich.edu for passcode at least two hours prior to the event.

Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | China’s Local Government Debt: A Ticking Time Bomb?
2022-11-01 12:00 - 13:00 | Weiser Hall - Room 1010
Will local government debt derail decades of China’s economic growth? Much of China’s remarkable growth has been fueled by local government issued debt that funded the massive infrastructure overhaul throughout the country. Local governments successfully relied on land finance and issued bonds to borrow and grow. But now, with the dramatic economic slowdown, is the merry-go-round seizing up? Difficult headwinds such as the Global Financial Crisis, the real estate sector collapse, the cooling of foreign investment interest, an unfavorable geopolitical environment and continuing COVID lockdowns, all beg the question: Do local governments have enough cash, and/or assets to cover their ballooning debt payments?

In her talk, Professor Oi will examine and explain the history China’s local government debt problem and outline why local government financing vehicles (LGFVs) now face serious systemic liquidity risk. What are the tools the Chinese government can deploy to manage this situation in a way that maintains stability? And what are the risks inherent in these approaches?

Jean C. Oi is the William Haas Professor of Chinese Politics in the Department of Political Science and a Senior Fellow of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) at Stanford University. She directs the China Program at the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center at FSI and is the founding Lee Shau Kee Director of the Stanford Center at Peking University. She received her PhD in political science from the University of Michigan.

Dr. Oi has published extensively on political economy and the process of reform in China. Recent books include "Fateful Decisions: Choices that will Shape China's Future," co-edited with Tom Fingar (2020); "Zouping Revisited: Adaptive Governance in a Chinese County," co-edited with Steven Goldstein (2018); and "Challenges in the Process of China's Urbanization," co-edited with Karen Eggleston and Yiming Wang (2017). Recent articles include “Firms as Revenue Safety Net: Political Connections and Returns to the Chinese State,” with Chaohua Han and Xiaojun Li, "China Quarterly," forthcoming. “China’s Local Government Debt: The Grand Bargain,” with Adam Liu and Yi Zhang, "The China Journal," volume 87, number 1, January 2022. “China’s Challenges: Now it Gets Much Harder,” co-authored with Thomas Finger, "The Washington Quarterly," Vol. 43 (Spring 2020.

Her current research continues to explore central-local relations, including local government debt and fiscal politics broadly defined. She is beginning a project on China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

Exhibition:Student Art Exhibition - Childhood & Beauty
2022-11-01 13:00 - 14:00 | Palmer Commons - Windows Lounge
Come to the Windows Lounge on our 3rd floor Plaza level of Palmer Commons to see Rachel Deveyra's student art exhibition. It will be up from November 1 - 18, 2022. Below is a statement from the artist.

This body of work is a reflection of my childhood experiences. Each one of these pieces represents how beauty standards have impacted my life. Through this reflection, I have not only accepted myself as I am now but also my third grade self who felt bad about herself. Merely acknowledging the existence of these standards and processing my memories through my art has been therapeutic and has served as a healthy reminder that beauty should be perceived broadly and inclusively. Hopefully, my art encourages others to be more accepting of themselves as well as each other’s differences.

Workshop / Seminar:The Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race, Ethnicity and Politics (I-REP)
2022-11-01 13:00 - 14:00 | Haven Hall - Walker (5664)
Racial and ethnic identities play a key role in shaping behaviors, attitudes, institutions, and social structures. As such, scholars across disciplines have been devoted to investigating how race and ethnicity feature in every aspect of social and political life. The purpose of I-REP (Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race, Ethnicity, and Politics) is to provide a space for scholars whose research centers race, ethnicity, and politics across a number of fields to receive critical feedback on the early stages of their work (especially graduate students), build community with other researchers who share similar interests and offer an opportunity for participants to collaborate on a joint research project within the working group

Racial conflict is a fixture of American politics and society. Issues of race and racial identity have shaped our criminal justice system, generated social movements like Black Lives Matter, and have been integral to the development of policies from immigration to housing and education. Outside of formal institutions and organizations, race also animates our interpersonal relationships and social interactions. While the summer of 2021 marked the most recent “racial reckoning” in America, it was not the first instance of social unrest in America generated by racial conflict, and it certainly will not be the last. As America continues to wrestle with race, I-REP seeks to support interdisciplinary research that analyzes racial inequality and racial conflict in political and social institutions as well as in interpersonal behavior. Such research has been instrumental to multiple disciplines across the social sciences, including Political Science, Social Psychology, Sociology, Psychology, and Public Policy, for decades. And while race, racial identity, and racial conflict can (and often are) studied in their own right, research on almost any topic will benefit from an analysis that accounts for the impact of race across disciplinary boundaries.

At a time when politicians and political pundits are calling for the erasure of race from educational curricula, it is imperative that academia continue to create spaces for research on race to be discussed, evaluated, critiqued and improved. Therefore, I-REP strives to encourage scholarly conversations and collaborations among researchers who seek to better understand the consequential role of race and ethnicity in social and political life.

Workshop / Seminar:PhD Research Talk: Mohammad Zhalechian
2022-11-01 15:00 - 16:00 | Industrial and Operations Engineering Building - 2717
Seminar Abstract:
The rapid growth of information and accessibility to big data provide a unique opportunity to shift toward data-driven decision-making. These real-time paradigms (i) adaptively learn a model that predicts a user-specific outcome for each available decision (prediction) and (ii) harness this model to make data-driven decisions for subsequent users (prescription).

Although there have been tremendous advances in data-driven decision-making, such advances often cannot be applied to operations management problems because of their complexity. This brings forward several challenges and opportunities. In this talk, I discuss two challenges in healthcare and service operations: the need for joint learning and decision-making under limited resources and delayed feedback. I then introduce a data-driven predictive and prescriptive framework with provable performance guarantee to solve a hospital's care unit assignment problem. The effectiveness of this framework is illustrated using hospital system data.

I will end the talk by discussing my broader research agenda on dealing with other practical and societal challenges that arise in developing data-driven decision-making frameworks.

Presenter Bio:
Mohammad Zhalechian is a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School. His research focuses on data-driven analytics to solve a wide range of problems in healthcare and service operations. He has collaborated closely with hospitals, clinics, and government agencies. Mohammad earned his Ph.D. in Operations Research in Aug 2022 at the University of Michigan, where he was advised by Prof. Mark Van Oyen. He is the recipient of awards, including second place in the 2020 INFORMS Decision Analysis Society Best Paper Award, finalist in the 2020 INFORMS Seth Bonder Scholarship of Health Applications Society, and winner of the 2021 IOE Richard C.

Workshop / Seminar:Simple and Scalable Edge AI – a Configurable, Dataflow Architecture with at Memory Computing
2022-11-01 15:30 - 16:30 | Ford Robotics Building - 2300
The ability to run AI efficiently at the edge will impact broad applications ranging from smart IoT, autonomous driving to robotics. However, as AI model sizes grow rapidly so do the cost of the hardware required to run them and the energy they consume, severely hindering the deployments of AI in edge devices. Careful analysis shows that the energy cost and throughput bottlenecks when running AI tasks are not caused by compute operations, but by constant data movements instead. Solving these problems requires new computing architectures that address the data movement problem and minimize its cost. By performing computing at memory and minimizing data movements through a dataflow architecture, MemryX’s AI accelerator chips fundamentally solves the throughput and energy challenges in Edge AI applications. In this talk, we will present the design principles behind MemryX’s architecture, use case examples, and features of the Software Development Kit (SDK) that make AI implementation easy and scalable for edge applications such as robotics.

Wei Lu is a Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at the University of Michigan, and co-founder of MemryX Inc. He received B.S. in physics from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 1996, and Ph.D. in physics from Rice University, Houston, TX in 2003. From 2003 to 2005, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. He joined the faculty of the University of Michigan in 2005. His research interest includes resistive-random access memory (RRAM), memristor-based logic circuits, neuromorphic computing systems, and low dimensional systems. To date Prof. Lu has published over 150 journal and conference articles with 34,000 citations and H-factor of 82. He is an IEEE Fellow.

Mohammed A. Zidan is currently leading the architecture team at MemryX Inc. Before joining MemryX, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Workshop / Seminar:Race and Racism, Comparatively: A Fall 2022 Series
2022-11-01 16:00 - 18:00 | Michigan League - Vandenberg
“Race and Racism, Comparatively” is a series of three conversations highlighting the work of scholars both in and beyond U-M whose scholarship is contributing to much-needed conversations on the global dimension of race, racism, and their impacts. Through these events, we seek to help broaden the aperture through which the academic community considers these themes, encouraging an understanding of a dynamic and interconnected set of systems, practices and material effects.

September 20th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Virtual conversation with University of Pennsylvania scholar and president of the Middle East Studies Association, Eve Troutt Powell and Tennessee State University scholar, Keisha Brown. A cultural historian, Professor Troutt Powell’s scholarship has focused the history of the modern Middle East with a particular emphasis on slavery in the Nile Valley and in the former Ottoman Empire. Professor Brown’s work has focused on modern China and the negotiation of Sino-Blackness; her research interests broadly include ethnic and race studies, postcolonial theory and social and cultural history in East Asia.

Lecture / Discussion:Padnos Public Engagement on Jewish Learning Lecture: “Remnants of a Mighty Nation”: Jews Through the Eyes of American Christians
2022-11-01 19:00 - 21:00 | 1027 E. Huron Building - Loosemore Auditorium, DeVos Center, Grand Valley State University
The Stuart and Barbara Padnos Foundation has provided a gift to the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies to establish the Padnos Engagement on Jewish Learning fund. The initiative, which commenced last year, will facilitate annual public educational activities in Jewish Studies throughout the State of Michigan with a focus on the western part of the state.This lecture is in partnership with the Kaufman Interfaith Institute at Grand Valley State University.

The Padnos Public Engagement on Jewish Learning Event, to take place on November 1 at 7 pm, will feature Dr. Julian Levinson, Samuel Shetzer Professor of American Jewish Studies, University of Michigan. Dr. Levinson will present a lecture called “'Remnants of a Mighty Nation': Jews Through the Eyes of American Christians” at the Loosemore Auditorium at the Richard M. Devos Center on Grand Valley State University's Campus. The event will also be virtually simulcast via Zoom. Immediately following the lecture at approximately 8:30 there will be a light reception in the adjacent Lubbers Exhibition Hall.

Dr. Levinson prefaces his discussion: "What is it like to belong to a religious minority? For Jews in the United States, there have been countless challenges as well as unexpected benefits from living among a Christian majority. While some individual Christians have been highly critical of Jews for their beliefs and practices, others have been deeply respectful of Jews for being the original “chosen people,” for preserving the Hebrew language, and for maintaining traditions going back to the Bible. This talk will focus on the ways Jews were perceived in nineteenth-century America, when the origins of present-day Christian-Jewish relations were established. It will trace the formation of views that are still prevalent today, including the evangelical fascination with Israel. It will also consider how Jews have shaped their own identities in relation to the broader Christian environment."

This is a hybrid lecture.

2022-11-02 09:00 - 17:00, 2022-11-03 09:00 - 17:00 | 202 S. Thayer - Institute for the Humanities Gallery
About the Exhibition
*La Pelea/The Fight* is a 46-foot panoramic oil-on-canvas. At the center of the “picture” and surrounded by a jeering crowd, the viewer becomes literally and conceptually involved as the one who is about to fight and defend themself. Depending on where the viewer is standing in the space, however, a different perspective can emerge, suggesting that even a public, collective experience is highly subjective.

Like much of Diaz’s work, *La Pelea/The Fight* brings into question the reliability of the narrator and the complexity of stories, especially as they pertain to the manipulation of facts and suggestions of criminality by the media and those in positions of power. It is timely in an era defined by polarity and politically driven half-truths and fictions, and a reminder that it is the necessary tension of a myriad of perspectives that bring us closer to some truth, rather than the singular view from where we are standing.

About the Artist
Born in 1977 in Mexico, Diaz considers image and information, and how the media and individuals represent stories to a different end. His immersive Panoramic paintings allow for the viewer to be witness, gaining a different perspective or experience depending on the positioning in relation to the work. His work is so original, fresh and contemporary, while at the same time harkening back to the traditions of Mexican muralists like Diego Rivera.

Exhibition:LaToya Ruby Frazier: Flint Is Family In Three Acts
2022-11-02 11:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location
Organized by Stamps Gallery in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, and the Flint Institute of Arts.
“No matter how dark a situation may be, a camera can extract the light and turn a negative into a positive. In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history; in Act II, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative; in Act III, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”
—LaToya Ruby Frazier
Flint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets, activists, mothers and residents of Flint, Michigan, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs, video, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures, Stamps Gallery, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Tracee Glab, and Steven L. Bridges with the assistance of Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Rachel Winter, and Rachael Holstege.

Exhibition:Respond/ Resist/ Rethink 2022
2022-11-02 11:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location
Water is the lifeblood of civilizations, the center of cities, the foundation of creation stories and the connective tissue of culture. Water is a life force, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing, quenching, and refreshing but has also been commodified, polluted, and politicized. From the Standing Rock, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin, to water shutoffs in Detroit, PFAs in Ann Arbor, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few), ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional, intergenerational, and collective knowledge sharing, discussion and action to protect.
Call for Work
Stamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care, sustainability, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”
Eligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday, August 19, 2022 →
Eligibility
Must be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline
The deadline for submitting work is Friday, August 19, 2022, 5pm, EST. A selection committee composed of students, faculty, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15, 2022 - January 14, 2023.Why posters & videos?
Posters can function as catalysts for change. For generations, posters have served as an effective tool to circulate ideas and messages to the public. Visually striking, and designed to draw attention from passersby, posters can be conversation starters, invite people to pause, reflect, spread the word, get involved. They have been a powerful medium for many conceptual artists and graphic designers to create powerful images and messages that could respond to immediate issues and be distributed widely. Similarly, video art was another exciting immediate medium for conceptual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the technology became more accessible to the masses. Video art provided an alternative to the dominant broadcasting corporations. Artists made experimental films, recorded performances, and first-person narratives that were then exhibited and screened at galleries, museums, and events. Posters and videos continue to be salient features in the 21st Century to respond to urgent issues and questions facing the present moment.
Context
Stamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social, political, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races, genders, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality, structural racism, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality, belonging, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Civic Action Before and After Russia’s War in Ukraine
2022-11-02 12:00 - 13:20 | Weiser Hall - 1010
Prior to February 2022, there was compelling evidence that Russian society had undergone a dramatic transformation that increased social mobilization and created significant new challenges for the regime. While this mobilizational capacity varied widely across regions and issue areas, the growth of everyday activism across the Federation had become linked to political contestation in elections and increased demands for government response. Moreover, everyday protest supporters were drawn from among social conservatives and Putin supporters. This rise in non-political protest also fueled political actions to support banned candidates in Moscow in 2019 and against the arrest of Aleksey Navalny in 2021. Yet, the same society had a very different reaction to the Kremlin’s escalation of the war in Ukraine in 2022. Russian society not only failed to protest the war in large numbers but chose to embrace Kremlin narratives and disinformation and support the special military operation. Based on original evidence, this talk will address the puzzle presented in these disparate pictures of society to explain why post-war protest fizzled and whether we can expect new forms of anti-war action in the future.

This lecture will be presented in person in 1010 Weiser Hall and on Zoom. Webinar registration required at https://myumi.ch/M9RVe

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Workshop / Seminar:MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series - A Multivariate Stopping Rule for Survey Data Collection
2022-11-02 12:00 - 13:00 | Off Campus Location
MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series

Xinyu Zhang
A Multivariate Stopping Rule for Survey Data Collection

Bio
Xinyu Zhang is a PhD candidate studying survey and data science at the University of Michigan. He is primarily interested in responsive survey designs, survey nonresponse, and machine learning techniques. His dissertation topic is using models to inform responsive survey designs.

Abstract
Surveys are experiencing declining response rates. With more and more effort expended to combat these declining response rates, the cost of large-scale surveys has continued to rise. Recent technological developments in survey data collection have allowed the survey designer to make near-real-time intervention decisions. Stopping rules are one of the interventions often considered to improve the efficiency of data collection. Stopping some cases essentially reallocates effort from stopped cases to others, but most previously proposed stopping rules have only considered single estimates. In multipurpose surveys, there may be data quality objectives that must be met for multiple estimates with constraints on costs. We introduce a stopping rule that accounts for the cost and the quality of one or more estimates. The proposed stopping rule is illustrated via simulation using data from the Health and Retirement Study.

MPSDS
The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

SISRT
The mission of the Summer Institute is to provide rigorous and high quality graduate training in all phases of survey research. The program teaches state-of-the-art practice and theory in the design, implementation, and analysis of surveys. The Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques has presented courses on the sample survey since the summer of 1948, and has offered such courses every summer since. Graduate-level courses through the Program in Survey and Data Science are offered from June 5 through July 28 and available to enroll in as a Summer Scholar.

The Summer Institute uses the sample survey as the basic instrument for the scientific measurement of human activity. It presents sample survey methods in courses designed to meet the educational needs of those specializing in social and behavioral research such as professionals in business, public health, natural resources, law, medicine, nursing, social work, and many other domains of study.

Join us in community to practice mindfulness meditation, a life-enhancing skill that can be learned with consistent practice. This formal, largely-guided, practice utilizes evidence-based cognitive training that bolsters one's ability to handle stress, poor mood, and threat. This weekly mindfulness practice encourages present moment, non-judgemental, awareness – noticing where your focus and attention are and continually inviting attention to current mind and body sensations in a kind and compassionate way.

Mindfulness meditation opens the possibility to pause, gain perspective, attend to the present, and respond accordingly. In our ever-changing, complex, and challenging world, mindfulness can provide grounding. As one form of contemplative practice, mindfulness meditation can offer a framework to support a more skillful approach to navigating the demands of being human and support practitioners to build resilience and take compassionate action.

Whether you are new to mindfulness meditation or are an experienced practitioner, each session is designed to offer guidance and support to assist you. All are welcome to attend weekly or drop-in as their schedule allows.

Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag | Axion wind detection with the homogeneous precession domain of superfluid helium-3
2022-11-02 13:00 - 14:00 | Randall Laboratory - 3481
Axions and axion-like particles may couple to nuclear spins like a weak oscillating effective magnetic field. Existing proposals for detecting this "axion wind" sourced by dark matter exploit analogies to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and aim to detect the small transverse field generated when the axion wind resonantly tips the precessing spins in a polarized sample of material. In this talk, I will describe a new proposal using the homogeneous precession domain of superfluid He-3 as the detection medium, where the effect of the axion wind is a small shift in the precession frequency of a large-amplitude NMR signal. This setup can provide broadband detection of multiple axion masses simultaneously, and has competitive sensitivity to other axion wind experiments such as CASPEr-Wind at masses below 0.1 micro-eV by exploiting precision frequency metrology in the readout stage.

Presentation:Webinar: Collaborative Science Conversations: BOO! Does Working Across Political Boundaries Scare You? Try Collaborative Science!
2022-11-02 15:00 - 16:00 | Off Campus Location
Ecosystems don’t care about political boundaries, even if the natural resources within them are managed by multiple entities. Research projects that span political boundaries can often be sticky – decisions are made on long timelines, changes in policy and staff can derail implementation of projects and the tools they produce, and it can be difficult to effectively engage diverse stakeholders so that their perspectives inform the work. Enter: collaborative science. In situations with complex and competing interests, there is a higher likelihood that science will be applied to decision making when problems are tackled with a collaborative science framework. In this webinar, collaborative science project teams will discuss how to work across political boundaries and with different partners to develop shared tools, models, and action plans that will improve ecosystem management.

Collaborative Science Conversations
The NOAA RESTORE Science and NERRS Science Collaborative programs are back at it, teaming up to bring you the voices of project teams from the field through our Collaborative Science Conversations webinar series. These sessions dig into the unique value of collaborative science, what it feels like in practice, and tips and strategies for success.

Lecture / Discussion:Artificial Intelligence and Human Values, U-M Obert C. Tanner Lecture
2022-11-02 16:00 - 18:00 | Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Rackham Amphitheater
Eric Horvitz' lecture is hosted by the University of Michigan in partnership with Michigan Engineering. U-M is one of nine institutions worldwide that hosts an annual Tanner Lecture on Human Values.

This is a two part event that includes a keynote lecture and a panel discussion with lunch the following day. Both are in-person, but a live stream will be available.

PART 1: KEYNOTE - Wednesday, November 2, 4:00 pm Rackham Amphitheater
AI advancements have been motivated and inspired by human intelligence for decades. How can we use AI to expand our knowledge and understanding of the world and ourselves? How can we leverage AI to enrich our lives?

In his Tanner Lecture, Eric Horvitz will explore these questions and more, tracing the arc of intelligence from its origins and evolution in humans, to its manifestations and prospects in the tools we create and use. Along this arc, he’ll highlight several key milestones and recent breakthroughs in AI that have enabled new tools and deeper understandings of the computational foundations of intelligence.

He will emphasize the importance and potential of creating and applying AI systems that can collaborate closely with people and highlight directions forward with examples of systems that leverage, complement, and augment human capabilities.

Finally, his talk will address challenges and opportunities ahead, as we develop and deploy powerful AI tools that will extend our reasoning and imagination in new ways. Horvitz will make the case that this is a pivotal moment to engage in a cross-sector dialogue about the development, use, and governance of AI technologies to ensure that they reflect and respect our values and aspirations as individuals and society.

Moderated by Ben Kuipers, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Michigan Engineering.

Introductions by Santa Ono, President of the University of Michigan and Alec D. Gallimore, the Robert J. Vlasic Dean of Engineering at the University of Michigan.

ABOUT TANNER LECTURES
Tanner Lectures are funded through the generosity of the late University of Utah Professor of Philosophy, industrialist, and philanthropist, Obert Clark Tanner, and his wife, Grace Tanner.

Professor Tanner wrote: I hope these lectures will contribute to the intellectual and moral life of mankind. I see them simply as a search for a better understanding of human behavior and human values. This understanding may be pursued for its own intrinsic worth, but it may also eventually have practical consequences for the quality of personal and social life.

Although the Tanners established the supporting endowment in 1978, Joel Feinberg's April 1977 lecture at U-M inaugurated the international series of Tanner Lectures. Each year, U-M has a Tanner Lecture combined with an interdisciplinary symposium to which we invite distinguished scholars from around the world.

These events are free and open to the public.

Livestream / Virtual:Department of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics -- Weekly Seminar
2022-11-02 16:00 - 17:00 | Palmer Commons - Great Lakes South
Abstract:

Graph representation learning leverages knowledge, geometry, and structure to develop powerful machine learning methods. First, I will introduce Shepherd, a graph neural network for personalized diagnosis of patients with rare genetic diseases. Diagnostic delay is pervasive in patients with rare genetic conditions. It can lead to numerous problems, including redundant testing and unnecessary procedures, delays in obtaining disease-appropriate management and therapies, and even irreversible disease progression. Shepherd uses knowledge-guided geometric deep learning to gather information from different parts of a knowledge graph and logically connect a patient's clinical-genomic information to the region in the knowledge graph relevant to diagnosis. Evaluation of patients from the Undiagnosed Diseases Network shows that Shepherd accurately identifies causal disease genes, finds other patients with the same causal gene and disease, and provides interpretable characterizations of novel diseases. Second, I will describe applications of graph neural networks in drug discovery. These are available through Therapeutics Data Commons (https://tdcommons.ai), an initiative to access and evaluate AI capability across therapeutic modalities and stages of drug discovery. The Commons supports the development of machine learning methods, with a strong bent towards developing the foundations for which methods are most suitable for drug discovery and why.

Other:Leveraging Dynamic Properties to Understand Protein (Dys)function in Disease
2022-11-02 16:00 - 17:15 | Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640
The dynamical properties of proteins are critical for their function and are often perturbed in disease. Despite this knowledge, developing chemical probes that explicitly target protein dynamics is challenging, and therapeutic molecules that alter protein dynamics are often discovered serendipitously. However, all living organisms contain a dedicated class of proteins, termed molecular chaperones, that specifically regulate protein folding and dynamics to prevent pathological outcomes. Can understanding the function of these molecular chaperone proteins inspire development of novel âpharmacological chaperonesâ? By combining biochemistry, biophysics, and chemical biology approaches with human genetics and emerging technologies, my research aims to answer this question. Specifically, my goal is to use these molecules to study and correct altered protein dynamics in neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases.

Conference / Symposium:Neural Architecture Exhibition & Symposium
2022-11-02 17:00 - 18:30, 2022-11-03 09:00 - 18:00 | Art and Architecture Building - Taubman College Commons
The Neural Architecture Symposium at Taubman College presents itself as an opportunity to survey the emerging field of Architecture and Artificial Intelligence, and to reflect on the implications of a world increasingly entangled in questions of the agency, culture, and ethics of AI. This rapidly developing field of architectural inquiry is ripe for a rigorous interrogation. Almost daily, new practices emerge that focus on the incredible opportunities that an expanded human mind through AI offer for the discipline of architecture. At the same time, AI is observed with suspicion in regards to potentially displacing entire practices out of the field. The symposium oscillates between those poles of tension, in order to inform the public audience, and the discipline, about the status quo and the vision of this paradigm-changing new ecology of design.

AI is quite a generalist term, used to describe several varying approaches. In Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence is defined as the study of Intelligent Agents, which includes any device that perceives its environment and that takes actions to maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. In general, the term Artificial Intelligence is applied when a machine mimics cognitive functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as learning and problem-solving. The prevailing trajectory of this line of inquiry is preoccupated with aspects of optimization, such as ideas of optimizing floorplans, material consumption, and time schedules of construction sites – which cover the tamed problems of disciplinary considerations. At the same time, it interrogates the wicked problem in the production of architecture – creativity, intuition, and sensibility. This opens ontological questions about the nature of creativity, its role in the inception of architectural projects, and the methods to evaluate this. This symposium and exhibition would be among the first of its kind, framing this problem in this particular way. Can an AI create a novel sensibility (?) -and if so: can we as humans perceive and understand it? This is one of a set of questions that the event is set out to examine and explicate through the format of the symposium. This symposium serves as a launch pad for the examination of an emergent field of technology that is currently profoundly changing multiple levels of society, economy and culture demonstrated through the use in the discipline of architecture.

The topic is presented through a series of lenses: design projects, speculations, theoretical considerations, and scientific insight. This combination allows for an insightful, but entertaining symposium, about a very pressing affair in architecture and society at large. The stunning visual quality of the projects and proposed architecture studios in combination with the voice of science and theory allow for a deep interrogation of current development in architecture. This symposium and exhibition will provide insights into posthuman design methodologies operating in a world shifting away from an anthropocentric universe. We consider that, in the foreseen future, humans will continue using the machine as their tool, not the other way around.

The first genuinely 21st-century Architecture design method

Taubman College is perceived as a pioneer within this novel area of inquiry in the architecture discipline – an area that will affect every aspect of the discipline. Not only the theory but also the practice, the construction, and the use of architecture. It is possibly the first genuinely 21st-century Architecture development, as it will change the way architecture is conceived, designed, and built on a massive scale. Posing questions about authorship, the nature of ingenuity, of imagination, and creativity the proposition discusses a posthuman world operating within this frame of considerations.

Demystifying Artificial Intelligence

A particular goal of this Symposium is to demystify Artificial Intelligence for the population of the architecture community as much as for the public at large. The term AI evokes dark pictures of dominance, control, and surveillance triggered through movie productions such as Terminator, The Matrix, and Ex Machina. Nothing could be farther away from the truth. The bigger danger these days are data abuse and bias in datasets. Both of which form part of a conversation within the program of the Symposium. For one the ethical questions of operating AI’s within the architecture discipline. Questions that are discussed in interdisciplinary panels consisting of architects, computer scientists,s and roboticists.

Film Screening:China Ongoing Perspectives | CHOP presents a film screening of *Tyrus* (2015)
2022-11-02 18:30 - 20:30 | Weiser Hall - Room 1010
U-M FILM SERIES co-sponsored by the Asia Library and the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Admission is free and open to the public

Film screening (73 minutes) and Q&A with discussant Yan Zhong

Note: This is an in-person event. Please complete the ResponsiBLUE Screening before your arrival. Light refreshments will be provided.

People worldwide have seen the Disney animated classic Bambi and been deeply moved by the aesthetic renderings of nature and wildlife in the film. The pioneering artist behind this work is Tyrus Wong (1910-2016), one of the most gifted artists from the golden age of Disney animation. The quiet beauty of his Eastern-influenced paintings caught the eye of Walt Disney, who made Wong the inspirational sketch artist for Bambi.

Filmmaker Pamela Tom spotlights this seminal, but heretofore under-credited figure, showing how Tyrus overcame a life of poverty and racism to become a celebrated painter who once exhibited with Picasso and Matisse, became a Hollywood sketch artist, and has been recognized since 2001 as a “Disney Legend.” Previously unseen art and interviews, movie clips, and archival footage illustrate how his unique style – melding Chinese calligraphic and landscape influences with contemporary Western art – impacted many aspects of American art in the twentieth century.

Discussant: Yan Zhong
Yan Zhong is a lecturer at the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan. She has published multiple novels, essays, and books in Chinese and worked for four years as a literary editor at the Changchun Film Studio in China. Her research interests include Chinese pop culture (music and film), and she is currently working on a book project introducing the history and technical achievements of Chinese animation films.

Reception / Open House:La Pelea/The Fight Opening Reception
2022-11-02 18:30 - 20:00 | 202 S. Thayer - Institute for the Humanities Gallery and Lobby
Please join us as we celebrate the opening of Salvador Diaz's exhibition *La Pelea/The Fight* in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. Salvador Diaz will join our curator Amanda Krugliak for a conversation about the exhibition and his practice. Free and open to all!

About the Exhibition
*La Pelea/The Fight* is a 46-foot panoramic oil-on-canvas. At the center of the “picture” and surrounded by a jeering crowd, the viewer becomes literally and conceptually involved as the one who is about to fight and defend themself. Depending on where the viewer is standing in the space, however, a different perspective can emerge, suggesting that even a public, collective experience is highly subjective.

Like much of Diaz’s work, *La Pelea/The Fight* brings into question the reliability of the narrator and the complexity of stories, especially as they pertain to the manipulation of facts and suggestions of criminality by the media and those in positions of power. It is timely in an era defined by polarity and politically driven half-truths and fictions, and a reminder that it is the necessary tension of a myriad of perspectives that bring us closer to some truth, rather than the singular view from where we are standing.

About the Artist
Born in 1977 in Mexico, Diaz considers image and information, and how the media and individuals represent stories to a different end. His immersive Panoramic paintings allow for the viewer to be witness, gaining a different perspective or experience depending on the positioning in relation to the work. His work is so original, fresh and contemporary, while at the same time harkening back to the traditions of Mexican muralists like Diego Rivera.

Film Screening:CSAS Film Series | *A Narmada Diary*, *In Memory of Friends*
2022-11-02 19:30 - 22:00 | Modern Languages Building - MLB 2
Co-directed with Simantini Dhuru, *A Narmada Diary* examines the Sardar Sarover dam in western India, a significant development project on the river Narmada's banks, which has been criticized as uneconomical and unjust, with costs borne by the rural poor.

When completed, the dam will drown 37,000 acres of fertile land, displace over 200,000 adivasis – the area's indigenous people, and cost up to 5 billion dollars.

*A Narmada Diary* introduces the Narmada Bachao Andolan (the Save Narmada Movement), which has spearheaded the resistance against the dam. As government resettlement programs prove inadequate, the Narmada Bachao Andolan has emerged as one of the most dynamic struggles in India today. With non-violent protests and a determination to drown rather than leave their homes and land, the people of the Narmada valley have become symbols of a global struggle against unjust development.

*In Memory of Friends *documents the violence in Punjab, India. After examining the political turmoil of the late 1970s and the rise of Sikh fundamentalism, the film concentrates on the legacy of Bhagat Singh, a young socialist hanged by the British in 1931 at age 23.

"That this perspicacity was present in a man of just 23 (Bhagat Singh) seems astonishing. It was all so impressive that Patwardhan could not but see him as a great intellectual apart from being an inexorable revolutionary." - Adrian Khare - Blitz

Anand Patwardhan, India’s leading documentary filmmaker, is known for his socio-political, award-winning films. He has spent decades capturing Mumbai’s slum dwellers, the reality of the caste system, the rise of Hindu nationalism, and tensions between India and Pakistan. He is a member of the Oscar academy, and his films have earned more than 20 international awards.

Performance:Karla Bonoff
2022-11-02 20:00 - 23:00 | Off Campus Location
"Long before Alanis and Jewel," says Billboard, "there was a breed of singer/songwriters whose earthly anthems of soul-searching, heartache, and joy touched souls in a way few can muster today." Karla Bonoff was the best of that breed. This California singer-songwriter looked herself in the eye with each song she wrote, and her sad, knowing music was recorded by Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Aaron Neville, Wynonna Judd ("Tell Me Why"), and a host of others, and a younger generation of female songwriters was listening closely. "Her melodic sense, personal lyrics, and vocal stylings have found their way into the work of everyone from Shawn Colvin and Jonatha Brooke to Sarah McLachlan and Paula Cole," writes Catie Curtis. Today she writes just a few songs a year and makes them count. Karla’s shows include new material as well as versions of her classic songs.

Registration is required to attend virtually: https://myumi.ch/8437R

Join us for the 12th annual Perspectives on Contemporary Korea Conference!

Food exposes the intricacies and complexities of Korean culture and history. Food is quick and slow, tradition and innovation, codification and creativity, quintessentially local and a booming global industry. Food is social, whether served at a formal banquet or eaten on the street with friends. Food is lauded for its authenticity but is endlessly crossing borders and taking on new lives. Jjajangmyeon is Chinese food in Korea and Korean food abroad. One can eat sundubu jjigae in Seoul without realizing it was popularized in southern California. A bowl of budae jjigae remembers conflict but offers comfort.

This event is co-sponsored by the Korea Foundation.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
