Inspired by\u00a0UMMA\u2019s\u00a0presentation of\u00a0Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old\u00a0Edgefield, South\u00a0Carolina,\u00a0'Free to Speak'\u00a0hopes to contribute to urgent national conversations about racial justice while exploring what it means to exhibit materials made by enslaved people in Southeast Michigan, especially in light of the region\u2019s relationships to the Underground Railroad, the Great Migration, the explosion of Black music and culture, and ongoing racial protest and liberation movements. Part storytelling, part scholarly deep dive, the discussions and diverse perspectives that emerge\u00a0will offer\u00a0new possibilities\u00a0to inspire change\u00a0in the arts and culture field. \u200b To see the full convening schedule and to RSVP, please click\u00a0here. \u00a0 Artist and social innovator Theaster Gates lives and works in Chicago. Trained in urban planning and ceramics, his artistic practice translates the intricacies of Blackness through space theory and land development, sculpture, and performance. Through the expansiveness of his approach as a thinker, maker, and builder, he extends the role of the artist as an agent of change. His performance practice and visual work find roots in Black knowledge, objects, history, and archives. His work focuses on the possibility of the \u200b\u201clife within things\u201d and redeems spaces that have been left behind. He is the founder of the Rebuild Foundation, an artist-led, community-based platform for art, cultural development, and neighborhood transformation whose mission is to demonstrate the impact of innovative, ambitious and entrepreneurial cultural initiatives enriched by three core values: Black people matter, Black spaces matter, and Black objects matter.\n \nAdebunmi Gbadebo, a multimedia artist, explores the intersections of land, matter, and memory on sites of slavery using materials like indigo dye, plantation soil, and Black hair. She holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, NY, and a Creative Place Keeping certification from the New Jersey Institute of Technology. She is a 2022 Pew Fellow, 2023 Maxwell and Hanrahan Fellow, and A.I.R at the Clay Studio in Philadelphia. Gbadebo has been written about in notable publications like The New York Times and Forbes. She has spoken at institutions like the Museum of the African Diaspora and the Metropolitan Museum of Arts. Gbadebo's art resides in permanent collections at institutions such as the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. She is currently designing a monument at Clemson University to honor enslaved laborers who transformed Fort Hill Plantation into the university.\n \nMonica O. Montgomery is a museum thought leader and independent curator at the nexus of culture, community engagement, and equity. She consults with a myriad of organizations, corporations, associations, non profits, universities and museums on contemporary art, community engagement and championing inclusion and belonging to spark ecologies of promise.

I first show how these challenges have led to distortions in prior policing research, including a high-profile retraction. Next, I demonstrate how nonparametric sharp bounds can help researchers address these challenges without relying on implausible, often implicit assumptions. I introduce an algorithm for obtaining such bounds for any structured discrete system and essentially any estimand, assumptions, and arbitrarily incomplete dataset(s)\u2014flexibly accommodating the wide variety of oversight tasks and data environments across America's 18,000 law enforcement agencies. The algorithm outputs a fail-to-reject region capturing both fundamental lack of identification as well as sampling uncertainty. Finally, I propose an approach for targeting future data collection under budget constraints to optimally narrow the expected fail-to-reject region.\r\nhttp:\/\/www.dcknox.com\/", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"114910-21833776@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/114910", "building_id":"1000167", "building_name":"West Hall", "campus_maps_id":"163", "room":"340", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["seminar"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Statistics", "group_id":"3473", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Statistics Graduate Seminar Series", "group_id":"3586", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2023\/11\/event_114910_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21833776 } , "115396-21834618": { "datetime_modified":"20231120T094853", "datetime_start":"20231201T100000", "datetime_end":"20231201T120000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2023-12-01", "date_end":"2023-12-01", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"12:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Dissertation Defense-Iman Samani", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Dissertation Defense-Iman Samani: Iman Samani", "event_subtitle":"Iman Samani", "event_type":"Presentation", "event_type_id":"16", "description":"This dissertation explores innovative strategies for solving linear variable-coefficient wave propagation problems in one and\r\nmultiple dimensions.
