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\u2019t 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.\u00a0\u00a0\n \nIn this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum\u2019s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you\u2019ll be able to experience the changes we\u2019re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history.\u00a0\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.\u00a0\n \n\u201cInvisible things are not necessarily \u2018not there\u2019.... 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.\u201d\u00a0\n \n\u2014 Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism\u00a0is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost,\u00a0the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n\u00a0", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"84303-21621582@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/84303", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"European and American Decorative Art", "location_name":"Museum of Art", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art","UMMA","Museum","History","Exhibition","European"], "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ummamuseum\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)", "group_id":"1177", "website":"http:\/\/www.umma.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":470, "first_occurrence":21621195 } , "134875-21875516": { "datetime_modified":"20250421T113230", "datetime_start":"20250429T120000", "datetime_end":"20250429T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-04-29", "date_end":"2025-04-29", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Bloody Work: Lexington and Concord 1775", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Bloody Work: Lexington and Concord 1775", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"The William L.

threat to public opinion polls. In the past, a person\u2019s political outlook was not a particularly reliable predictor of whether they would participate in surveys. Now it is. Polling organizations are implementing numerous strategies to combat this challenge. This presentation covers the nonresponse challenge from the perspective of Pew Research Center, a national nonpartisan polling organization. The talk will present data on the scope of the challenge in Pew polling, which includes an address-based-recruited panel and an annual multimodal cross-sectional survey. It will also cover novel ways that Pew is trying to reduce nonresponse bias.\r\n\r\nBio\r\nCourtney Kennedy is Vice President of Methods and Innovation at Pew Research Center. She supervises the Center\u2019s survey design and data science teams. Her research focuses on nonresponse, weighting, modes of administration and sampling frames. Kennedy has a doctorate from the University of Michigan and a master\u2019s degree from the University of Maryland, both in survey methodology.

We evaporatively cool a gas of sodium-cesium molecules to below 10 nanokelvin, deep in the quantum degenerate regime. The BECs live for several seconds. This dramatic improvement over previous attempts to cool molecules is enabled by collisional shielding via microwave dressing, suppressing inelastic losses by four orders of magnitude. We also observe that microwave dressing provides an exceptional level of tunability of dipole-dipole interactions, enabling novel phases of matter in molecular quantum liquids. \r\n\r\nIn this talk, I will discuss our experimental approach, share latest insights, and give an outlook on novel opportunities enabled by molecular BECs for many-body quantum physics, quantum simulation, and quantum computing. In addition, I will give a brief overview of our broader efforts in quantum. These include recent advances on single atom trapping in metasurface optical tweezer arrays [3] and our collaborative efforts with Brookhaven National Lab to realize a quantum network in the greater New York area.\r\n\r\nReferences:\r\n[1] \tBigagli, Yuan, Zhang, et al., Observation of Bose-Einstein condensation of dipolar molecules, Nature 631, 289-293 (2024)\r\n[2] \tBigagli, et al., Collisionally stable gas of bosonic dipolar ground state molecules, Nature Physics 19, 1579-1584 (2023)\r\n[3]\tHolman, Xu, et al., Trapping of single atoms in metasurface optical tweezer arrays, arXiv:2411.05321 (2024) \r\n\r\nBio:\r\nSebastian Will is a professor of physics at Columbia University.
