The Revolution Within: Islamic Media and the Struggle for the “New Egypt” (September 21, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75966 75966-19629766@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 21, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

The 2020 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme is "The Arab Spring: 10 Years Later."
(Please register at http://myumi.ch/jxDBz; a Zoom link will be emailed to you the day of the event.)

About the Presentation:
The 2011 revolution unleashed passionate public concern about how to create a “New Egypt.” Islamic channels were important sites of these debates as rival television preachers gave media form to their competing visions of what a virtuous life entails and what an ethical polity looks like. Based on fieldwork in Cairo with the “New Preachers” – so named because of their novel styles of Islamic media – this talk explores what these on and off-screen struggles reveal about Islam’s competing theologies and the distinctive media forms they take. It also considers what methodological attunements such contested religious mediations demand of their ethnographers.


About the Speaker:
Yasmin Moll is an assistant professor in the department of anthropology. She is writing a book about new forms of Islamic media and the religious contention they provoke against the backdrop of Egypt’s 2011 revolution. Her fieldwork was supported by numerous national grants, including from the Social Science Research Council, the National Science Foundation and the Fulbright Commission. Her publications include articles in Cultural Anthropology, Public Culture, and Middle East Report, among others. She is also a documentary filmmaker and a former member of the Michigan Society of Fellows.

The Future of Art: Is the Future of Art the Death of Art? (September 21, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76645 76645-19733044@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 21, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Arts Initiative

The role of artists has shifted with cultural, political, economic, and technological changes, from creators as artisans, bohemians, or professionals. In his new book The Death of the Artist: How Creators Are Struggling to Survive in the Age of Billionaires and Big Tech, William Deresiewicz interviews artists of all kinds and describes their experiences in a narrative of the modern struggles of creators, the unique challenges they face in this digital era, how exploitation and instant gratification have changed our perceptions of art. In this panel, Deresiewicz and one rap artist, one visual artist, and one novelist—SAMMUS, atiya jones, and Monica Byrne—will describe their observations and experiences with the nature of art and the role of the artist in society, and will propose their visions for the future of art.

William Deresiewicz is an award-winning essayist and critic, a frequent speaker at colleges and other venues, and a former professor of English at Yale. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Atlantic, Harper's Magazine, the Nation, the New Republic, and many other publications. He is the recipient of a National Book Critics Circle award for excellence in reviewing and is the New York Times bestselling author of Excellent Sheep, The Death of the Artist, and A Jane Austen Education.

SAMMUS (Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo) is a Black feminist rap artist and producer from Ithaca, NY with a PhD in science and technology studies from Cornell University. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Brown University in the music department teaching classes on rap songwriting and feminist sound studies.

atiya jones is a multi-disciplinary artist & creative director at TWELVE\TWENTY STUDIO. Her work is about human connection and serves as a visual depiction of healing, finding one’s tribe and building a life as a unit, the magic permeating beneath the surface of Self, and the search to find it.

Monica Byrne is a playwright and science fiction novelist based in Durham, North Carolina. Her work is funded by a community of patrons on Patreon. Her second novel The Actual Star will be published by HarperVoyager in 2021.

There's many reasons why someone would want to be a mentor - you remember an older student or professor giving you guidance through undergrad, you've learned a lot and want to pass it on, you had a hard time and want to make sure younger students don't have to deal with what you did - but what makes a good mentor? What skills do you need, how do you make the relationship beneficial to both you and the mentee? What if you mess something up? Mentorship can be an exciting and terrifying prospect, but we're here to give you some tips.

We've brought together a panel of experienced LGBTQ+ staff and faculty who participate as mentors in our MaPPS (Mentoring and Personal/Professional Support) program to talk about what they've learned about being a good influence and building trust with a mentee. Afterwards, ask the panelists questions and consider signing up for our GPS (Guidance - Perspective - Support) program, our peer-to-peer mentorship opportunity, and start using those skills today!

Film Screening | Artist Spotlight Series: Gariné Torossian (September 22, 2020 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/76677 76677-19735042@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 22, 2020 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Armenian Studies

Please register in advance to receive the streaming link and to attend the Q/A session with the film director: http://myumi.ch/ZQN9R

The film will be available for you to watch on your own from September 18 to 23.

In her lush, intricately constructed works, Gariné Torossian explores film form, hybrid film and video technologies, and themes of belonging, identity, and the body. "Mining a rich palette of colours and textures, superimpositions and dissolves, mixing formats of Super 8, 35mm and video, [she] creates films that bridge the gaps between visual art, sound art, cinema and the rock video" (Lux Distribution).

Torossian's style of filmmaking draws attention to the most basic component of her work, the strip of film, the celluloid on which images are laid to be projected. She alters the photographed images, transforming them into other objects; she juxtaposes them; and she makes them move outside the original photographed movement in ways that create a kind of rich collage, suggesting another dimension to the moving images with which she began... This Spotlight compilation is highly recommended for academic areas dealing with women in art and film as well as art history and film studies. - Oksana Dykyj, Educational Media Reviews Online

This special edition includes the following short films:
1) Visions
2) Girl from Moush
3) Drowning in Flames
4) Pomegranate Tree
5) Sparklehorse
6) Babies on the Sun
7) Shadowy Encounters
8) Hypnotize/Mezmerize - System of a Down

Complex Systems Seminar | The Ranking Game from a Hungarian Perspective (September 22, 2020 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/76900 76900-19776605@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 22, 2020 11:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: The Center for the Study of Complex Systems

ZOOM MEETING LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96616169868

Abstract:
We like to see who is stronger, richer, better, more clever. Since we
humans (1) love lists; (2), are competitive and (3), are jealous of
other people, we like ranking. Ranking reflects the reality, illusion and
manipulation of objectivity.

The book "Ranking: The Unwritten Rules of the Social Game We All Play" is offered to people whose neighbor has a fancier car; employees, who are being ranked by their supervisors; managers, who are involved in ranking but may have qualms about the process; businessmen interested in creating better visibility for their companies; scientists, writers, artists, and other competitors who would like to see themselves at the top of a success list; college students who are just preparing to enter the new phase of social competition. The lecture will mirror the speaker's education and experiences in Pest and Buda.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Zoom Webinar: "From Virtuosity to Vernacularism: Reversals of Glass Paintings" (September 22, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76121 76121-19663557@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 22, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

The Fall 2020 lecture series will be only available on-line as a Zoom webinar.

This study examines the transformation of reverse glass painting from an art of virtuosity to a vernacular form of art from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century during Sino-European encounter. The vernacularization of reverse glass painting, Dr. Liu shall argue, reflected a consumption-driven reinvention of certain literary scenes or popular drama that highlighted the common value of plate glass as a diaphanous spectatorial plane. By examining the interrelationship among technique, medium, and genre, this talk reassesses the material agency and medial effect of clear plate glass which was used to support and spark the theatrical views.

Lihong Liu is Sally Michelson Davidson Assistant Professor of Chinese Arts and Cultures in the Department of the History of Art at the University of Michigan. Dr. Liu specializes in Chinese art history of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Her research focuses on time, matter, space, and motion in art, especially with regard to art’s environmental engagement. Liu earned her PhD in the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. Prior to joining the University of Michigan, she taught at the University of Rochester.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Political Economy Workshop (PEW)

Hyeon-Young Ro's research focuses on domestic firms' preferences and regulations on inbound foreign direct investment (FDI). Her dissertation project examines how industrial features such as economies of scale internal and external to a firm shape attitude towards restrictions on inbound FDI by domestic producers. She also analyzes FDI regulations by disaggregating the types of FDI into two different entry modes: greenfield investment and cross-border mergers and acquisitions. More generally, she studies how domestic special interest groups influence trade and FDI policy making.

Email political-economy-workshop@umich.edu for the meeting link.

PEW provides a unique forum for doctoral students and faculty members to share and develop interdisciplinary research in political economy. Political science and economics are intimately linked in both substance and methodology, and the field of political economy is among the most fertile and enduring areas for cross-disciplinary research in the social sciences. Currently, PEW is the sole interdisciplinary workshop at the University of Michigan wholly dedicated to the exploration of current research in political economy, and thus plays a valuable role in fostering connections among the university’s various departments and schools.

How does one make performance during a pandemic? In this talk Dr. Arthur looks at the unique ways that artists have addressed HIV/AIDS to answer this question. Considering theatrical interventions by Karen Finley and Demian DinéYazhi´, Dr. Arthur argues that performance created in response to HIV/AIDS can teach us to challenge dominant narratives about a virus and strategies for living through an ongoing pandemic.

Marc Arthur is an artist and scholar who holds a PhD in Performance Studies from New York University (2019). He is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in Arts-based Social Justice Research and Practice at the University of Michigan where he is studying the role of directing, devised theatre, dramatic writing, and acting in achieving diversity, equity, and inclusion. His research and teaching interests encompass contemporary performance and theatre practice, dramatic literature and history, performance studies, queer theory, and critical ethnic studies. He is currently working on his first book project entitled, An Imagined Virus: Theatre, Memory, and the Politics of AIDS, which argues that artists use performance to restage the AIDS crisis by enacting dramaturgies of transformation and new forms of biomedical embodiment.

His academic writing and criticism has appeared in edited volumes and journals including Bomb Magazine, Yale’s Theater, the book Viral Dramaturgies: HIV and AIDS in Performance in the Twenty-First Century, as well as numerous art catalogues. He has also written extensively for Performa Magazine, where he is a Contributing Editor. From 2011 – 2017 he was the Head of Research and Archives at Performa where he organized touring exhibitions, curated programs, led interdisciplinary research projects with a wide range of artists, and spearheaded the acquisition of the Performa collection by NYU’s Fales Library.

As an artist and director, he has developed a new form of performance that incorporates methods from devised theatre, dance, painting, and socially engaged art. His work has been presented at theatres and galleries internationally, including the Martha Graham Dance Theater, La MaMa E.T.C., Dixon Place, The Living Theater, Movement Research at Judson Church, the Bronx Academy of Arts & Dance, the Wild Project, University Settlement, and Chashama in New York City; New Langton Arts and David Cunningham Projects, San Francisco; Moyse Theatre at McGill University, Montreal; Xavier Hufkens Gallery, Brussels; the Emily Harvey Foundation, Venice; Universität der Künste, Berlin; and FRISE, Hamburg.

In this new virtual series, Center for World Performance Studies invites performers and scholars from diverse disciplines to reflect on how performance is being used to respond to the political, social, health and environmental crises that we face at this moment. Each guest will give a 30 minute presentation, and then engage in 30 minutes of Q&A. Sessions will take place over Zoom and require advance registration. You can read about the panelists, register for these events, find recommended reading and resources and/or request recordings of past events at https://lsa.umich.edu/world-performance.

When Ken Fischer retired after 30 years as president of the University Musical Society in 2017, many of his friends and colleagues repeatedly told him, “Ken, you should write a book! You have so many great stories.”

Ken took that advice, and we’re delighted to announce that Everybody In, Nobody Out: Inspiring Community at Michigan’s University Musical Society is now available from University of Michigan Press, with a wonderful foreword by Wynton Marsalis.

During this virtual book launch, John U. Bacon, Ann Arbor author, speaker, tv and radio commentator, and longtime friend of Ken’s, will interview Ken about his book, highlighting some of the wonderful stories Ken shares from his three decades at UMS and a lifetime in the arts.

This book launch is co-presented by Literati Bookstore and University of Michigan Press Great Lakes.

Dani Darling - Ark Family Room Series (September 22, 2020 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76065 76065-19661509@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 22, 2020 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

Dani Darling made her media debut in 1984—as one of a set of triplets born in Ann Arbor. She sang with her sisters as a girl, and later did stints in a reggae band and in the hip-hop collective The Black Opera. But, she told the Metro Times, she wasn't sure hip-hop was the right direction for her: "I was like, who am I? So I was trying to figure it out. I'm more of an acoustic artist, you know. I write with my guitar, I have a big background in, like, old movie musicals and jazz. My favorite vocalist is Ella Fitzgerald, and Thom Yorke is one of my biggest inspirations." A new sound came together, featuring classic influences like R&B and jazz as well as new sounds like lo-fi and chillwave, all fused in her own original songs that often have a cosmic tinge. Dani released her debut album, "Nocturne," last year. She's a rising star on the Michigan scene, named an artist to watch by Current last year, and we're excited to welcome her for her Ark debut in the Family Room.

Film Screening | Artist Spotlight Series: Gariné Torossian (September 23, 2020 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/76677 76677-19735043@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 23, 2020 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Armenian Studies

Please register in advance to receive the streaming link and to attend the Q/A session with the film director: http://myumi.ch/ZQN9R

The film will be available for you to watch on your own from September 18 to 23.

In her lush, intricately constructed works, Gariné Torossian explores film form, hybrid film and video technologies, and themes of belonging, identity, and the body. "Mining a rich palette of colours and textures, superimpositions and dissolves, mixing formats of Super 8, 35mm and video, [she] creates films that bridge the gaps between visual art, sound art, cinema and the rock video" (Lux Distribution).

Torossian's style of filmmaking draws attention to the most basic component of her work, the strip of film, the celluloid on which images are laid to be projected. She alters the photographed images, transforming them into other objects; she juxtaposes them; and she makes them move outside the original photographed movement in ways that create a kind of rich collage, suggesting another dimension to the moving images with which she began... This Spotlight compilation is highly recommended for academic areas dealing with women in art and film as well as art history and film studies. - Oksana Dykyj, Educational Media Reviews Online

This special edition includes the following short films:
1) Visions
2) Girl from Moush
3) Drowning in Flames
4) Pomegranate Tree
5) Sparklehorse
6) Babies on the Sun
7) Shadowy Encounters
8) Hypnotize/Mezmerize - System of a Down

Gariné Torossian was born in Lebanon to parents of Armenian descent. Growing up in the vibrant Armenian community in Beirut, Torossian learned about Armenia largely through music and art, which her family held in high regard. She moved to Canada in 1979. Torossian is a filmmaker and visual artist living and working in Toronto. She is primarily a self-taught filmmaker and photographer. Her early films focused on transformations of the still image to moving image, followed by an interest in dance, body movement, and text. Her primary interests now lie in fiction and storytelling. Torossian’s award-winning works have shown internationally, including retrospectives at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, Berlin Arsenal, Telluride Film Festival, and Cinematheques in Armenia, Lebanon, Canada, and Germany.

Marie-Aude Baronian is Associate Professor in visual culture and film at the University of Amsterdam where she teaches in the field of media and memory, film-philosophy, fashion studies, and French thought. She has extensively lectured and published on film and visual arts in relation to issues of memory, archive, testimony, and the Armenian diaspora.

Virtual panel discussion

The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About the Panel:
As the global pandemic drags on and people around the world struggle to find a “new normal,” so many of us find illness, disease, and loss piling on top of natural disasters, financial ruin, and the long-term suffering wrought by systemic racism and injustice. While we feel called to rise to the moment, it’s no wonder that many of us begin to feel hopeless or helpless to do so. This event is designed to renew our capacity to imagine and enact compassion in the face of the widespread suffering we find all around us.

Join us for an exploration of a science-based view of compassion that meets this moment. We bring together a number of experts who study compassion in organizations with practitioners who are leading for compassion now. Each of our panelists will feed our imagination with stories and fuel our capacity for action with small, actionable strategies that you can use right now. Focused on building our capacity for action, this unique panel structure will leave you with a replenished toolkit full of small moves that will help you find ways to rise to the challenges of leading, learning, and teaching with compassion now.

CJS Noon Lecture Series | Contentious Citizenship: Zainichi Korean Activism in Japan (September 24, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75274 75274-19401011@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 24, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

The pursuit among Zainichi Koreans to secure their rights in Japan has a long complex history. Today, Zainichi Koreans are classified as “Special Permanent Resident Aliens,” which provides a set of most citizenship rights without having actual Japanese citizenship status. This talk addresses what triggered the extension of citizenship rights to non-citizens in recent decades in Japan and to what extent Zainichi Korean activism influences discourse and reform of citizenship laws in today’s Japan.

Hwaji Shin is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of San Francisco. Shin was born and grew up in Osaka City, Japan as a third generation Zainichi Korean. Prior to her academic career, she worked as an independent investigator for NGOs in Japan and developed policy recommendation reports for the municipal government on incorporation of the Korean minority community in Japan as well as outreach efforts for the shelter-less population in Osaka City. She earned her MA and Ph.D. in Sociology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Her published works address the impact of colonialism and globalization on the citizenship and immigration policies in Japan, as well as minority activism, with a special focus on Zainichi Koreans in Japan. She is currently working on her book manuscript that examines the historical trajectory of citizenship and immigration policies, and its relation to the resistance of the Korean minority in Japan. Her research and teaching expertise are centered in political sociology, with an emphasis on social movements, race and ethnicity, categorical and spatial inequality, globalization, colonialism, and the history, theory and sociology of migration, citizenship, and nationalism.

She is the 2020-21 Center for Japanese Studies Toyota Visiting Professor.

TITLE: Ruminations on a career in industry, government and academia

ABSTRACT: I have been blessed with a broad range of professional opportunities in engineering during my career. These ranged from research, systems engineering and management responsibilities at a major aerospace firm, TRW, to appointment as Secretary of the Navy, and most recently, Professor of Practice at the College of Engineering. As a Professor of Practice, I was motivated to look back at my career and assess what experiences proved to be most valuable in enabling me to contribute to my profession and take on additional responsibilities. While many of these experiences have to be lived to obtain full value, I have tried to incorporate some of the more valuable lessons learned into my courses.
I will start off my Spencer lecture with a recap of my career, adding to the normal biographical notes my rationale for the more significant job changes that I took on. Following that, I will highlight some of the particularly valuable lessons learned, putting them into the appropriate programmatic and political context. This personal, intellectual history will include consideration of experiences gleaned from international engagements as well as my US based activities. Lastly, I will attempt to integrate all of these experiences and provide some general recommendations for both students and faculty present.

Over 85% of Rackham doctoral students surveyed report that having a written agreement for successful mentoring is useful.
This workshop is facilitated by the MORE (Mentoring Others Results in Excellence) Committee, a Rackham committee that engages with faculty and graduate students to foster conversations about mentoring.
Registration is required of both the faculty and student.

Racial microaggressions can be uniquely harmful to their targets, and yet we often times find ourselves skirting around this subset of microaggressions due to the discomfort of openly discussing race, racism, and white supremacy. In this workshop we hope to foster an intellectually humble environment within which to unpack racial microaggressions, address common barriers to intervening when a racial microaggression is inflicted, and provide tools for successfully intervening in the future.

Interdisciplinary Workshop in American Politics (IWAP) (September 25, 2020 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77483 77483-19875780@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 25, 2020 3:00pm

Princess Williams will present her job talk: "The Politics of Place: How Southern Identity Shapes Americans' Racial Attitudes and Policy Preferences."

ABSTRACT: This project investigates the role of place-based identification in influencing Americans’ racial attitudes and policy preferences. Specifically, I argue that Southern identity (i.e., identification with the American South) is an influential but omitted factor in the study of political behavior across racial groups. In this project, I create a novel measurement of Southern identity and assess its impact on public opinion. Contrary to the extant literature, this work argues that Southern identity has political consequences for the opinion formation of Black Americans as well as for White Americans. I expect that Southern identity will be associated with group-centric racial beliefs reflecting the perceived communalistic nature of Southern culture. Analyses from three original surveys suggest that Southern identity influences both Black and Whites to adopt distinct racial beliefs different from their non- southern racial group members. These results hint at a challenge to the claim that Southern identity among Black Americans is not as politically relevant as it is for White Americans. This work also speaks to the need for more nuanced approaches to understanding American’s racial beliefs across race and place.

The Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics (IWAP) is a forum for the presentation of ongoing interdisciplinary research in American politics. Most of our presentations are given by graduate students. Each graduate student presenter is assigned a faculty and student discussant. IWAP circulates the work beforehand and the student presents it briefly at the start of the meeting. After discussant feedback, the bulk of the time is reserved for group discussion among all workshop participants. This format leads to informal yet highly interactive and productive conversations.

CSAS Lecture Series | Networked Bollywood: Star Power and the Global Flows of Indian Cinema (September 25, 2020 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76255 76255-19854021@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 25, 2020 4:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location

From Raj Kapoor to Aamir Khan, Bollywood stars have possessed cross-over appeal in varied transnational spaces, ranging from remote areas in Azerbaijan and Egypt to the cosmopolitan regions of Germany and China. Concurrently, production companies led by these popular stars are among the largest and most profitable in Bollywood. Star-led productions have therefore been key enablers of Hindi cinema’s transnational flows and global expansion. This project argues that within the Bollywood network stars possess “switching power”. Star switching power is constituted by the star’s effective power and centrality within the Bollywood network as key industry nodes, as well as their affective power as stars and celebrities. This power accords them the ability connect a diverse range of nodes, networks and hubs to enable the global flows of Hindi cinema. In order to explore these issues, this project initiates an interdisciplinary exploration of star power that brings together sociology, affect, industry studies, cultural policy and politics.

Dr. Kate Stone: Sensory Experiences (September 25, 2020 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77319 77319-19840074@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 25, 2020 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Dr. Kate Stone has spent the last decade on a journey of discovery from the world of science to creative design. Her focus on moving electrons eventually led to the creation of her groundbreaking company, Novalia, where she has developed a new technology platform to create products that are a delightful blend of being magical, old fashioned and futuristic.  Dr. Stone believes the future will look more like the past than the present due to our natural mix of nostalgia and futuristic stargazing. At Novalia, she and her team use ordinary printing presses to manufacture interactive electronics, which combine touch-sensitive ink technology and printed circuits into unique and cost-effective products. Most recently she and her team have created experiences for large brands as part of advertising campaigns, working with Pizza Hut, McDonalds, Bud Light, Hershey’s and IKEA.  They are presently working on a children’s toy called Touchscape: a board game-like surface that connects to Amazon’s Alexa.

Dr. Stone is from the UK, however she now lives in Woodstock, New York and has a degree in electronics from Salford University and PhD in physics from Cambridge University but believes the most useful things she learnt in life were discovered during her travels through Australia and Asia and in particular working on a sheep farm in the Australian outback. Stone sees herself as a “creative scientist,” blending art and science to create startling fusions of new and old technology. In addition to her work with Novalia, Stone is a member of the Editors Code of Practice committee. Dr. Stone asks us to consider: what future world do we want build to live in? What is our mind? Do we need technology at all? How can we build resilience into our everyday life?

Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

The modern renaissance of folk music began when John Gorka won the Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk award in 1984, and it grew to maturity when he released his debut album, "I Know," three years later. Here was a singer-songwriter with a striking baritone voice that made you feel like you'd been hearing it all your life, with the songwriting chops to take on and see into nearly every type of song—from personal pieces about love and sadness, to bemused observations about daily life, political thinking-aloud, and sheer unmitigated whimsy. Three and a half decades later, John still calls himself an aspiring folksinger, and his music has just kept getting deeper and better over his 15 critically acclaimed albums. John isn't on the road as much as he used to be, so don't miss this chance to catch a folk classic.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Linguistics graduate student Rachel Weissler will give a talk titled "Cognitive behavioral evidence of linguistic expectation based on both speaker identity and language variety in American Englishes."

ABSTRACT
In order to understand the intersection of linguistics, neurological processing, and race, I engage with language variation and social cognition to better understand how we as listeners interact with people who speak varying language varieties in the U.S., particularly African American English (AAE), through a three study dissertation using mixed methodologies. Bountiful neurolinguistics evidence shows that people invoke prediction during sentence processing through ERPs (Kutas et al 2014), and that these predictions are conditioned by the identity of the speaker, as early as 200-300 milliseconds after the beginning of a word(van Berkum et al 2008). However, ideologies about standard language in the U.S. often posit Standardized American English (SdAE) as a morally superior variety (Hill 2008). This hierarchical treatment of language varieties leads to negative perceptions of minoritized language varieties, such as AAE, which in turn makes them stigmatized, and ultimately perpetuates minoritized language discrimination. Thus, the first two studies ask, does positing SdAE as superior lead us to treat all minoritized language varieties equally, or do people have language variety-specific expectations? We test this using two EEG experiments. The final study (in progress) examines how the influence of varied linguistic knowledge modulates perception and online processing of AAE, as indexed by responses elicited from a virtual eye-tracking study. This final study seeks to understand how listeners of varied knowledges process linguistic variation in AAE & SdAE, and also brings together eye-tracking and emotion, expanding upon previous research which shows that various cultural groups are differently sensitive to emotional differences expressed in language, and arguably, through prosody (Weissler & Boland 2019). With this dissertation, I want to enhance the linguistics field by tapping into the find-grained knowledge correlates that listeners bring with them when processing language, specifically AAE. I also want to make the connection between language knowledge and racialization based on that language knowledge.This work has implications not only for intracultural perception, but more broadly, for understanding the functionality of the human language faculty in general. Ultimately, perceptions of stigmatized languages and language varieties leads to language discrimination, which affects the way speakers, people, are treated in their day to day lives. Through a multi-method neurolinguistic and sociolinguistic approach, we can better understand how the human language faculty is capable of recognizing and processing American English language varieties.

Beginning with the second wave, conducted in 10 countries in 2010-2011, at the time of the Arab Spring, and culminating with the fifth and most recent wave, conducted in 12 countries in 2018-2019, the lecture will present selected findings about continuity and change in the views of Arab publics. Among the topics about which the lecture will present findings are attitudes toward governance and democracy, toward women’s status and gender equality, toward Islam and political Islam, and toward terrorism and terrorist movements.


About the Speaker:
Mark Tessler is Samuel J. Eldersveld Collegiate Professor of Political Science. He specializes in Comparative Politics and Middle East Studies. He has studied and/or conducted field research in Tunisia, Israel, Morocco, Egypt, and Palestine (West Bank and Gaza).

Vehicle to Pavement Sensing for Lateral Lane Position Research Review (September 29, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76507 76507-19719168@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 29, 2020 1:00pm

While autonomous vehicles (AVs) offer significant safety benefits for drivers, to gain widespread approval from the public and road agencies, redundant vehicle to infrastructure capabilities are necessary. This is especially true in areas with adverse weather conditions such as snow and ice.

Existing AV technology is able to send safety messages to roadside units (RSUs) and other vehicles (V2V), but communication with concrete and asphalt requires embedded sensors. This research proposes a passive sensing approach that detects local changes in the pavement’s electromagnetic signature so that vehicles can determine their lateral lane position. This free webinar will include a Q&A session. We hope that you can join us!

"In times of turmoil and transformation—a locked-down present and an uncertain future—how do artists share wisdom and experience? How do they foster growth? As a vocalist singing in multiples languages, as a composer straddling genres and styles, as a musician playing instruments whose histories span continents and centuries, and as a dancer and writer of compelling grace and power, Jen Shyu transforms wisdom from masters and stories gathered from communities around the world into fresh and original expressions. Her work off the bandstand focuses on fighting inequity and helping create new mentorship networks" (Larry Blumenfeld). During this session, Shyu will also perform new works composed during the lockdown period that are centered around quarantine as well as the Black Lives Matter movement.

Jen Shyu ("Shyu" pronounced "Shoe" in English, Chinese name: 徐秋雁, Pinyin: Xúqiūyàn) is a groundbreaking, multilingual vocalist, composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, dancer, 2019 Guggenheim Fellow, 2019 United States Artists Fellow, 2016 Doris Duke Artist, and was voted 2017 Downbeat Critics Poll Rising Star Female Vocalist. Born in Peoria, Illinois, to Taiwanese and East Timorese immigrant parents, Shyu is widely regarded for her virtuosic singing and riveting stage presence, carving out her own beyond-category space in the art world. She has performed with or sung the music of such musical innovators as Nicole Mitchell, Anthony Braxton, Wadada Leo Smith, Steve Coleman, Vijay Iyer, Bobby Previte, Chris Potter, Michael Formanek and David Binney. Shyu has performed her own music on prestigious world stages such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Rubin Museum of Art, Ojai Festival, Ringling International Arts Festival, Asia Society, Roulette, Blue Note, Bimhuis, Salihara Theater, National Gugak Center, National Theater of Korea and at festivals worldwide.

A Stanford University graduate in opera with classical violin and ballet training, Shyu had already won many piano competitions and performed the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto (3rd mvmt.) with the Peoria Symphony Orchestra by the age of 13. She speaks 10 languages and has studied traditional music and dance in Cuba, Taiwan, Brazil, China, South Korea, East Timor and Indonesia, conducting extensive research which culminated in her 2014 stage production Solo Rites: Seven Breaths, directed by renowned Indonesian filmmaker Garin Nugroho.

Shyu has won commissions and support from NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship, Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, MAP Fund, US-Japan Creative Artists Fellowship from Japan-US Friendship Commission and National Endowment for the Arts, Jerome Foundation, Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works, Exploring the Metropolis, New Music USA, Jazz Gallery, and Roulette, as well as fellowships from the Fulbright Scholar Program, Civitella Ranieri Foundation, Asian Cultural Council, Hermitage Artist Retreat, Yaddo, MacDowell Colony, Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Korean Ministry of Sports, Culture, and Tourism.

Shyu has produced seven albums as a leader, including the first female-led and vocalist-led album Pi Recordings has released, Synastry (Pi 2011), with co-bandleader and bassist Mark Dresser. Her critically acclaimed Sounds and Cries of the World (Pi 2015) landed on many best-of-2015 lists, including those of The New York Times, The Nation, and NPR. Her latest album Song of Silver Geese (Pi 2017) is receiving rave reviews and was also included on The New York Times’ Best Albums of 2017.

In the new virtual series, PERFORMING THE MOVEMENT, PERFORMING THE MOMENT, Center for World Performance Studies invites performers and scholars from diverse disciplines to reflect on how performance is being used to respond to the political, social, health and environmental crises that we face at this moment. Each guest will give a 30 minute presentation, and then engage in 30 minutes of Q&A. Sessions will take place over Zoom and require advance registration. You can read about the panelists, register for these events, find recommended reading and resources and/or request recordings of past events at https://lsa.umich.edu/world-performance.

America’s Mayors on Crisis and Change (September 30, 2020 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/76948 76948-19780538@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 30, 2020 11:30am

Organized By: Poverty Solutions

This year has tested mayoral leadership like no other. Join us to learn from four leading mayors how they respond tactically to emergent crises while sustaining progress toward long-term goals.

The epidemiological and economic crises associated with the coronavirus pandemic have posed new challenges and opportunities for mayoral leadership. So has the movement for racial justice, which has intensified pressure on mayors from within and beyond their cities. Meanwhile, municipal leadership is key for long-term change on issues such as climate change, social equity, transportation, and economic opportunity.

Jointly hosted by the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture & Urban Planning and Poverty Solutions, the forum engages our campus-wide Democracy & Debate Theme Semester by addressing some of the most salient issues in this intense and high-stakes election season. This panel brings together U.S. mayors from across the country for a conversation that explores the agency of mayors in matters of national significance.

Participants:
Jacob Frey (Minneapolis, MN)
Lori Lightfoot (Chicago, IL)
Libby Schaaf (Oakland, CA)
Michael Tubbs (Stockton, CA)

Moderated by Taubman College Dean Jonathan Massey, with a special welcome by University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel.

Yaakov Herskovitz (Hebrew University Jerusalem): "He shoots paper out of a copier, as is the custom of America!": Hebrew vs. American Writing in a Feuilleton by Yosef Hayim Brenner.

You are invited to attend the first in a series of online workshops that explores the relationship between the feuilleton and modern Jewish cultures. These workshops, which will occur in fall 2020 and spring 2021, hope to shed light on the interaction between translation and multilingual feuilleton texts as they arise in certain national and linguistic contexts and travel, often through translation, to others often worlds apart. For those unfamiliar with the project: these workshops are part of the larger, ongoing project to chart the historical, cultural, geographical, and textual development of Jewish feuilletons and feuilletonists across the globe. For more information and past events, please visit our website: http://www.feuilletonproject.org./

Format: Speakers will provide contextual information on their text and offer a brief interpretation of the text. Question and answer as well as open discussion will follow the talks with the goal of building connections to other contexts and texts within the study of modern Jewish cultures. Text materials, both in original and in partial translation, will be available a week prior to the event.

To ensure a collegial workshop atmosphere, we ask kindly that you RSVP via email to Kelsey Keeves (js-event-coord@umich.edu) with your name and email address. You will receive a Zoom link and copies of texts and translations for the workshop.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Sheryl Oring returns to University of Michigan for virtual performances of “I Wish to Say” from September 29-November 1, 2020 as part of the university’s Democracy & Debate Theme Semester in collaboration with Stamps Gallery and Wayne State University.

In this project, Oring invites participants to dictate a message to the next president of the United States of America. Oring was last on the Ann Arbor campus in 2017 as part of the Stamps Gallery exhibition Vital Signs for a New America, curated by Srimoyee Mitra. For the 2020 iteration of the project, Oring collaborates with students at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan, who will meet with members of the general public via Zoom to take dictation of the public’s messages to the next president. Students will type these messages on mid-century manual typewriters on the Zoom call in a performative fashion. The typed postcards will be mailed directly to the White House on the participant’s behalf after the inauguration.

Voters Broadcast

Selected messages will be set in Voters’ Broadcast, a new musical work conceived and composed by Lisa Bielawa, which will bring together choirs from the University of Michigan and Wayne State University. The 15-minute musical work will be released in three parts over the course of the fall semester as part of the Democracy & Debate Theme Semester programming.

Premiered in three virtual events online:
Wednesday, September 30, 3 pm
Wednesday, October 14, 3 pm

Abstract:
Ultra-high-energy-density (UHED) matter (>108 J cm-3, >109 bar) is encountered in the center of stars but is difficult to create in the lab. We show that irradiation of high aspect-ratio aligned nanowire arrays with ultra-high contrast Joule-level fs laser pulses provides nearly complete absorption and enhanced light penetration into near-solid density targets, and allows volumetric heating into the UHED regime. Using ALEPH (Advance Laser for Extreme Photonics), a PW laser at CSU, we demonstrate that fs laser pulses of relativistic intensity volumetrically heat near-solid density plasmas to multi-keV temperatures, with pressures surpassed in the lab only in the hotspot of fusion plasmas. The physics of relativistic laser pulse interactions with nanostructures and promising applications will be reviewed. Electron densities >100x that of the critical density are achieved. Extraordinarily high degrees of ionization (e.g., Au+72) occurs at solid densities using laser pulses of <10 J, producing return currents through the nanowires that create giga-Gauss magnetic fields. The large electron density and plasma volume produce 20% energy conversion into ps x-ray pulses. Acceleration of deuterons from nanowire arrays to multi-MeV resulted in quasi-monochromatic fusion neutron production 500x that of irradiating flat sold targets. 3-D PIC simulations of relativistic laser pulse interactions with nanostructures will be discussed.

About the Speaker:

Singer-songwriter David Berkeley has been compared to both Cat and Sufjian Stevens as well as a host of other literate songwriters and he comes to the Ark Family Room with his most intimate and poignant release yet, Oh Quiet World, written during the lockdown after his family escaped Spain due to Corona. “I wrote a song a day that first week back,” Berkeley explains. “Songwriting gave me a way to process my fears and frustrations. It gave me a purpose, something small I could contribute.” David Berkeley’s gift as a songwriter and storyteller is that he sees both the tragedy and comedy in life, managing to both reveal the sorrow and the blazing beauty at the heart of the human condition. It’s a duality that audiences experience at all of Berkeley’s shows as well, as he tells uproarious stories between cathartic songs.

TITLE: Nuclear power and space exploration

ABSTRACT: After a career as a student, research scientist, civil servant, and professor, this summer I accepted a position with BWX Technologies, Inc (BWXT) as Deputy Chief Technology Officer. BWXT provides safe and effective nuclear solutions for national security, clean energy, environmental remediation, nuclear medicine and space exploration. For example, we manufacture the naval reactors and fuel for every submarine and aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy’s fleet and provide management and operations for more than a dozen DOE and NASA facilities. I have three goals for this seminar. First, I will give you three examples of the projects under way at BWXT that I am really excited about: nuclear thermal propulsion to enable human exploration in space, isotopes to treat cancer, and a new form of high temperature nuclear fuel that could meaningfully combat climate change by producing electrical power and serving as an industrial heat source. Second, I would like to tell you a little bit about what a CTO does in a company in general. And finally I would like to share some observations about what industry is like. I will try to leave a good amount of time at the end for discussion.

"Lipid Membrane Plays an Important Role for Facilitating Electron Transfer in Cytochrome P450"

Abstract: Cytochrome P450s (CYP450s) are a ubiquitous superfamily of enzymes that play a vital role in the metabolism of many exogenous and endogenous substrates including over 70% of the drugs on the market. For the catalytic reaction, CYP450 requires two electrons to be subsequently delivered, with the first one coming from cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) and the second one from either CPR or cytochrome b5 (cytb5). We are interested in understanding the role of membrane in mediating the electron transfer from redox partners to CYP450. Our findings reveal that the lipid membrane is crucial to mediate a productive CYP450-CPR complex for electron transfer. Our data emphasizes the importance of studying the structure, dynamics and kinetics of CYP450 metabolon in a biologically relevant membrane mimetic system.

Keanu Guardiola Flores - Biophysics Ph.D. Candidate (Wood Group)

"Drug Effects on *Enterococcus Faecalis* Biofilms: Growth, Topology, and Population Dynamics"

Abstract: The emergence of antibiotic resistance poses a growing threat to public health and increasingly limits our ability to treat and control infections. Recently, researchers have shifted their focus to length scales where ecological and evolutionary dynamics of bacterial communities highlight new approaches for slowing resistance with currently available drugs. By combining confocal microscopy with simple mathematical models I will show how antibiotics shape the composition of biofilms as well as their spatial architecture at the single-cell level. Our results suggest that in spatially structured populations, which may more accurately reflect natural bacterial communities, the selection of resistance is not a simple result of homogenous selections but depends critically on the spatial arrangement of cells.

Ken Burns & Isabel Wilkerson: In Conversation (October 2, 2020 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77320 77320-19840075@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 2, 2020 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Our lens on history powerfully influences how we envision and shape the future. Join two of our country’s most accomplished storytellers, Ken Burns and Isabel Wilkerson, as they discuss the complexities of the American narrative and how grappling with the past might lead us forward.

Journalist Isabel Wilkerson was awarded the National Humanities Medal by President Barack Obama in 2016 “for championing the stories of an unsung history.” The first African-American woman to win a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, her book The Warmth of Other Suns, a sweeping and intimate examination of the Great Migration, won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction. Her new book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, examines the entrenched hierarchies that shape American life. Told through intimate personal narratives and deeply researched history, Wilkerson examines the ties between the American caste system and those in India and Nazi Germany, and points to ways America can move beyond our artificial and destructive human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity.

Ken Burns has been making documentary films for over forty years. Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, he has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made, including The Civil War; Baseball; Jazz; The War; The National Parks: America’s Best Idea; The Roosevelts: An Intimate History; Jackie Robinson; Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson; The Vietnam War; The Central Park Five; and Country Music. His films have been honored with dozens of major awards, including sixteen Emmy Awards, two Grammy Awards, two Oscar nominations; and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. His new website UNUM rearranges clips from his past films into playlists to add historical context to the present.

This conversation will be moderated by Lynette Clemetson, Director of Wallace House, Knight-Wallace Fellowships and the Livingston Awards at the University of Michigan. A longtime journalist, she was a correspondent for Newsweek magazine in the U.S. and Asia, a national correspondent for The New York Times, and senior director of strategy and new initiatives at NPR. Wallace House works to sustain and elevate the careers of journalists, foster civic engagement, and uphold the role of a free press in democratic society.

This event is part of the Democracy & Debate theme semester with support from Wallace House and the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).

Panelists: Laurence Broers, Associate Fellow at Chatham House and Program Director of Conciliation Resources; Professor Gerard Libaridian (Emeritus), former senior advisor to the first President of the Republic of Armenia; Anna Ohanyan, Richard B. Finnegan Distinguished Professor of Political Science and International Relations, Stonehill College; and Ronald Grigor Suny, William H. Sewell Jr. Distinguished University Professor of History, U-M.

Please register in advance for the panel discussion here: http://myumi.ch/bvX1x

After registration, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to join the webinar.

Territorial and political tensions over Nagorno-Karabakh have marked the relationship between Armenia and Azerbaijan for over three decades. Fragile cease-fire agreement ended the full-scale war in 1994, after nearly 30,000 people were killed on both sides. Since then, it has been simmering as a low-intensity armed conflict, with significant clashes in April 2016 and July 2020. This current escalation has all the signs of a regional spill-over, capable of pulling in bigger players. Already significant has been Turkey's pronounced political and military support of Azerbaijan - a new development in the dynamics of this conflict. Please join us for a panel discussion that places the current violence in its historical context and analyzes regional implications.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Sheryl Oring returns to University of Michigan for virtual performances of “I Wish to Say” from September 29-November 1, 2020 as part of the university’s Democracy & Debate Theme Semester in collaboration with Stamps Gallery and Wayne State University.

In this project, Oring invites participants to dictate a message to the next president of the United States of America. Oring was last on the Ann Arbor campus in 2017 as part of the Stamps Gallery exhibition Vital Signs for a New America, curated by Srimoyee Mitra. For the 2020 iteration of the project, Oring collaborates with students at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan, who will meet with members of the general public via Zoom to take dictation of the public’s messages to the next president. Students will type these messages on mid-century manual typewriters on the Zoom call in a performative fashion. The typed postcards will be mailed directly to the White House on the participant’s behalf after the inauguration.

CMENAS Colloquium Series. Art & the Intersectional Revolution: Gender & Sexuality in the Legacy of the Arab Spring (October 5, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75968 75968-19629768@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 5, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

The 2020 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme is "The Arab Spring: 10 Years Later."
(Please register at http://myumi.ch/jxDBz; a Zoom link will be emailed to you the day of the event.)

About the Presentation:
While the Arab Spring is characterized as a call for political revolution, for many it also inspired a drive for social revolution. Calls for freedom and equality in the removal of dictatorial rule made space for more vocal calls for this same sort of equity for people of all genders and sexual orientations. At the same time, women, non-binary and trans folks, and individuals who engage in non-heteronormative relationships have been targeted by these repressive regimes, as well as many of those that have replaced them. Visual culture and art produced during the Arab Spring and the aftermath has often utilized their imagery, as seen with the “Girl in the Blue Bra” in Egypt and the “Woman in the Red Dress” in Turkey, to name two examples, as a means to highlight the particular experiences of women and queer individuals. This talk presents works by contemporary artists from the Arab world whose works have addressed aspects of gender and sexuality during, and in the aftermath of the 10 years since, the Arab Spring.


About the Speaker:
Sascha Crasnow, Ph.D. is a Lecturer of Islamic Arts in the Residential College and Affiliate Faculty at the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies (CMENAS) and in the Arab and Muslim American Studies (AMAS) program. She received her BS Honors in Psychology from the University of Washington, her MA in Art History from CUNY-Hunter College, and her PhD in Art History from the University of California, San Diego. Her research focuses on contemporary art from the SWANA region, with a particular focus on issues related to contemporary socio-politics, critical race studies, and gender & sexuality.

Complex Systems Seminar | A Simple Model for a Complex System: Legged Locomotion as an Oscillator (October 6, 2020 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/77060 77060-19790568@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 6, 2020 11:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: The Center for the Study of Complex Systems

VIRTUAL SEMINAR LINK: myumi.ch/v2ZYv

The neuromechanical control and dynamics of legged locomotion are of great interest for biomedical and robotics applications, as well as being an aspect of functional morphology with large ecological implications. Most biomechanists take a "reductionist" approach that attempts to model animal motion by modeling the parts of the organism and their interconnections, thereby combining them into what are sometimes staggeringly complex models. We will discuss a complementary "essentialist" approach, where multi-legged locomotion is viewed as a limit cycle oscillation comprising the body, nervous system, and environment. Through a combination of theoretical mathematical advances, new numerical algorithms, and experimental work on both animals and robots, this approach has revealed new ways to non-invasively inspect neuromechanical feedback pathways, control and coordinate legs, and model complex multi-contact collisions. Talk will be non-technical and suitable for a broad sciences audience.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Zoom Webinar: The Great Separation: "How the Cultural Revolution Has Shaped Contemporary China and Its Relationship to Global Capitalism" (October 6, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76154 76154-19669624@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 6, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

The Cultural Revolution is the dividing line in modern Chinese history and separates its century of revolutions, when China was known for mass mobilization to generate social change, and the Reform Era, which is deeply depoliticized and economically driven. This talk delves into the interplay of socialist politics and socialist economy in the heydays of the Cultural Revolution to offer a new interpretation of the political origins of contemporary China and its paradoxical role in global capitalism.

Xiaohong Xu is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at U-M and a faculty associate of LRCCS and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracy. He received his PhD from Yale and has taught in Singapore and Hong Kong before joining U-M. He is currently writing a book to unpack the Cultural Revolution both as a paradigmatic case of modern Jacobin politics and as a pivotal event that has shaped China today and its position in global capitalism. He has researched and published on patterns of contention in revolutionary China as well as state formation in early modern Europe. He is also beginning a new project on tech innovation and class formation in contemporary China.

Political Economy Workshop (PEW) (October 6, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76971 76971-19782533@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 6, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Political Economy Workshop (PEW)

Tom O'Mealia studies the relationship between violence, security provision, and the evolution of the post-colonial state. In particular, He asks why civilians in contexts of acute insecurity choose to invest their trust in some security providers and not others, and how those decisions impact state building and political development. His research also explains how and why political elites use the state security apparatus to consolidate control at the local level.

O'Mealia answers these questions using field work and by analyzing original data collected in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, and South Africa.

Email political-economy-workshop@umich.edu for the meeting link.

PEW provides a unique forum for doctoral students and faculty members to share and develop interdisciplinary research in political economy. Political science and economics are intimately linked in both substance and methodology, and the field of political economy is among the most fertile and enduring areas for cross-disciplinary research in the social sciences. Currently, PEW is the sole interdisciplinary workshop at the University of Michigan wholly dedicated to the exploration of current research in political economy, and thus plays a valuable role in fostering connections among the university’s various departments and schools.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Sheryl Oring returns to University of Michigan for virtual performances of “I Wish to Say” from September 29-November 1, 2020 as part of the university’s Democracy & Debate Theme Semester in collaboration with Stamps Gallery and Wayne State University.

In this project, Oring invites participants to dictate a message to the next president of the United States of America. Oring was last on the Ann Arbor campus in 2017 as part of the Stamps Gallery exhibition Vital Signs for a New America, curated by Srimoyee Mitra. For the 2020 iteration of the project, Oring collaborates with students at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan, who will meet with members of the general public via Zoom to take dictation of the public’s messages to the next president. Students will type these messages on mid-century manual typewriters on the Zoom call in a performative fashion. The typed postcards will be mailed directly to the White House on the participant’s behalf after the inauguration.

Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Many institutional histories of rare book and manuscript libraries center on tales of prominent (and typically male) figures - the original collectors, directors, and major donors. But what happens to our understanding of the archive if we shift our perspective to allow for women’s contributions to the library to come to the forefront? Listen to a discussion between Clements Library curators and staff to learn more about how we can achieve this and what it enables.

The Clements Library's Virtual Discover Series: Women's History in the Archives consists of three sessions on consecutive Wednesdays (Sept. 23, Sept. 30, Oct. 7). Please register at myumi.ch/wlnQw

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Abstract: The chromosomes of the human genome are organized in three-dimensions by compartmentalizing the cell nucleus and different genomic loci also interact with each other. However, the principles underlying such nuclear genome organization and its functional impact remain poorly understood. In this talk, I will introduce some of our recent work in developing machine learning methods by utilizing whole-genome mapping data to study the higher-order genome organization. Our methods reveal the spatial localization of chromosome regions and exploit chromatin interactome patterns within the cell nucleus in different cellular conditions, across mammalian species, and also in single-cell resolution. We hope that these algorithms will provide new insights into the principles of nuclear spatial organization.

Looking at Naturalist Fiction and the I-Novel Transnationally (October 8, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75606 75606-19544898@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 8, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

After the naturalist approach to writing fiction crystallized in France in the 1860s, writers around the world embraced it. By the 1920s this kind of realistic fiction could be found from the Americas to East Asia, including the Japanese version known as the I-novel. Far from a story of influence, a close look at naturalist novels and stories written in different parts of the world shows writers departing from metropolitan models as they confronted new social conditions.

Christopher Hill is Associate Professor of Japanese Literature in the department of Asian Languages and Cultures. With a background in comparative literature, he writes frequently on literature and intellectual history from a transnational or global perspective. His first book, *National History and the World of Nations* (Duke University Press, 2009), was on the impact of nationalism on historical writing in late nineteenth-century Japan, France, and the United States.

cprd is interested in political conflict and violence broadly conceived. this includes war, civil war, genocide, state repression/human rights violation, revolution/counter-revolution, terrorism/counter-terrorism, protest/protest policing and everyday resistance/domination. additionally, we are also interested in peace - again broadly conceived to include peace talks/negotiation, humanitarian intervention and naming/shaming. the orientation of the group is open to geographic locale, method and theory. we thus involve individuals from world/ir, comparative, american, theory and public policy. we have had on occasion individuals join us from sociology, social work and law.

CPRD is a Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop that brings together students and faculty studying all forms of political conflict/violence and peace.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Ginsberg Center

Campus Compact’s 2020-2021 national webinar series takes the great and varied work happening on the ground around the country and brings it straight to your desk.

Stanford University's Haas Center for Public Service has collaborated with 55 public, private, two- and four-year institutions since 2013 to develop an innovative holistic framework: "Pathways of Public Service and Civic Engagement." The pathways describe a range of possibilities by which students can contribute to the common good: community-engaged learning/research; community organizing/activism; direct service; philanthropy; policy/governance; and social entrepreneurship/corporate social responsibility. The framework guides students in exploring how the pathways differ from each other in language, practice, and impact, and how pathways might intersect to effect social change.

A free online survey surfaces student predispositions and interests toward the pathways; opens students' eyes to lifelong career, engagement, and leadership opportunities; and assists community engagement practitioners in developing relevant programming. Presenters will share multi-institution research resulting from the survey. Survey data informs practitioners, who can place students in community settings where they have strong pathway inclinations, encourage students to explore pathways they hadn't considered, or ensure they experience all six pathways in multiple placements during college. Each pathway provides students with experience they can use with high-impact practices in curricular and co-curricular settings, and in the workplace and civil society.

TITLE: Precipitation isotopes in the Andean Coastal Cordillera reflect the transition between Atlantic and Pacific moisture influence sub-seasonally

ABSTRACT: The western rain-shadow of the Andes mountains is an extremely arid region stretching from Peru through Chile, but is home to millions of people and associated infrastructure. While rainfall is important for water resources and supporting native vegetation, infrequent extreme rainfall events cause costly damage to human life and property. Just in the past several years, there have been extreme rain events in Northern Peru (2015 and 2017) and the Atacama Desert (2015, 2017, and 2019). This region is a transition zone between Atlantic and Pacific moisture influence driven by atmospheric circulation and coastal conditions. The conditions that produce rain in this region are still not fully understood, especially the role that Pacific sea surface temperatures play. Daily rainfall in Arequipa in southern Peru, near the arid Andean Coastal Cordillera, was analyzed for stable water isotope composition during the 2019 wet season to better understand rainfall processes. During anomalously warm coastal sea surface temperatures, Pacific influence was identified, and the isotopic values were more depleted at the 2,328 masl observation location. Improved understanding of regional moisture sources and rain events in this region can aid communities in managing critical water supplies and mitigating flood damage in the future, inform studies of coupled atmosphere-ocean-cloud feedbacks in the tropics, as well as provide insight into paleoclimate studies in this region. This presentation will also describe some of the unique natural ecological and agricultural systems in this arid region.

“A Mathematical Principle of Stochastic Chemical Kinetics and
Emergent Chemical Thermodynamics that Applies to Living Cells”

Abstract: In contrast to featureless point masses in Mechanics, a macromolecule in biochemistry has a large number of internal degrees of freedom in terms of atoms. The behavior of even a single protein in an aqueous environment, is often so complex that the mathematical representation of biochemical kinetics has to be statistical. In this talk, I present a stochastic formulation of general chemical reaction systems, with *N* species and *M* stochastic elementary reactions in solution and show how J. W. Gibbs’ macroscopic equilibrium chemical thermodynamics can be derived as a mathematical result, with an entropic force as its center piece. Our theory is actually applicable to mesoscopic open chemical systems with a chemostat, such as a single living cell. I then discuss the application of this theory to understand the notion of non-genetic phenotype switching, in terms of a landscape, in cell differentiation and cancer heterogeneity.

CSEAS Lecture Series. Drawing Borders in Blood: DNA Testing, Citizenship, and Statelessness Prevention in Thailand (October 9, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76312 76312-19687505@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 9, 2020 12:00pm

Despite its authoritarian commitments, the Thai government is regularly lauded by the UN for its statelessness prevention and eradication efforts. Photographs of happy “hill tribe” youth receiving their national ID cards are widely circulated by both the Thai government and human rights advocates, and are often invoked as examples of “best practices” for statelessness prevention. A relatively recent hallmark of this highly celebrated agenda is DNA testing. How is this test performed and adjudicated, and what logics underlie a program that promotes citizenship by blood? More importantly, what are the political and theoretical implications for pursuing these logics in citizenship adjudication? Drawing on extensive ethnographic and survey research, I argue that DNA testing, while “verifying” the citizenship claims of thousands of individuals on case-by-case bases, also produces an increasingly powerful and expansive infrastructure of body/border drawing, maintenance, and surveillance. Moreover, the research indicates that even as state and humanitarian advocates applaud the “objectivity” of DNA tests in adjudication of citizenship claims, the DNA test is carried out in connection with a range of highly contingent, subjective, and uneven practices at individual, local, and bureaucratic levels. Ultimately, the logics that underlie the DNA test are those of ever-expanding, yet ever-incomplete territorialization—a project that seeks complete, but ultimately unattainable, knowledge of, authority over, and reconciliation between individuals to territory.

Amanda Flaim is an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University in James Madison College and the Department of Sociology. She studies problems and paradoxes in human rights and development policy in Southeast Asia among indigenous, highlander, and migrant communities in particular. Her research agendas include the politics of borders, statelessness, and citizenship, labor exploitation and human trafficking discourse, and livelihoods transformations associated with dam development and climate change along the Mekong River.

ABSTRACT: What sparks environmental policy leadership? Traditional explanations emphasize the importance of domestic interest groups and institutions but often overlook transnational actors that advocate for the adoption and spread of environmental policies. In this paper, I provide a new dataset on the adoption of environmental policies and develop a new definition of environmental policy leadership. I then show how transnational environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs) use their advocacy to stimulate countries' policy innovation and amplify their influence. I find that countries adopt new environmental policies at a 46% higher rate when more transnational ENGOs are present and countries that share more transnational ENGOs are 24% more likely to form leader-follower policymaking relationships. Transnational ENGOs appear to play an important role in catalyzing increases in national environmental policy leadership.

The primary function of this workshop is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for students and faculty to present their current projects and to receive feedback on either the methodological component of their project or a methodology under development. Presenters can also present new research questions and ideas and receive ideas about which methodologies would work best to tackle such questions. We define methodology broadly as the approaches to which data is collected and/or organized to give empirical content to social science research. It includes both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Museum Studies Program

This is a conversation where each participant will discuss a different project that they were involved with at The Henry Ford Museum. The presenters are:
- Bradley L. Taylor (Associate Director Emeritus, Museum Studies Program)
- Calder Fong (PhD, Germanic Languages and Literatures)

Taylor's talk showcases Henry Ford’s efforts to preserve historic buildings by moving them from across the country and re-assembling them at Greenfield Village. The stories of three English structures brought to the Village will challenge assumptions about the nature of “originality” and “authenticity.”

Fong will trace the history of an 1887 Crossley Bros. internal combustion engine at The Henry Ford Museum. Along the journey he will discuss Henry Ford as an early pioneer of urbexing and explore the wide range of disciplines that intertwine at this museum of American innovation.

The 10th-century Arab historian and geographer Al-Mas'udi long ago called the Caucasus “jabal al-alsun,” the "mountain of tongues," referencing the densely compacted presence of topographical variation and cultural-linguistic diversity. This description rings true locally, as a dynamic internal to the region’s indigenous inhabitants, as well as transregionally, to the extent that the historical destiny of the Caucasus has generally been determined by external pressures, above all the interimperial rivalry unfolding in recent centuries between Russia, Iran, and Ottoman Turkey. One of the many challenges in studying the Caucasus, then, arises from the need for a crosscultural and multilingual archive which asks to be read “contrapuntally,” as Edward Said would have it, to grasp the entangled nature of historical events and cultural processes. This talk looks at three texts representing two successive military conflicts of the late eighteenth century: Agha Mohammad Khan's campaign of 1795, which briefly reasserted Persian control over the South Caucasus while devastating the region, and Count Valerian Zubov’s campaign of 1796, militarily inconsequential but anticipating Russia's annexation of the South Caucasus in the decades to come. The texts that will be examined are the Russian poet Gavrila Derzhavin’s “On the Return of Count Zubov from Persia” (1797), the Armenian Harutiun Araratian (Artemy of Ararat)’s “Life and Adventures” (1813), and the Georgian poet Nikoloz Baratashvili’s “The Fate of Kartli” (1839). All three texts address the key events of a transitional decade which saw the South Caucasus pass from Persian into Russian hands and reflect shifting perspectives that owe much to the complex interplay between ethnicity, social class, political allegiances, and aesthetic form.

Harsha Ram's first book, “The Imperial Sublime: A Russian Poetics of Empire” (2003), addressed the relationship between poetic genre, aesthetic theory, territorial space, and political power in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Russian literature. His recent publications chiefly concern Russian-Georgian and Russian-Italian literary relations in the context of theories of world literature and comparative modernisms. His forthcoming book, “The Geopoetics of Sovereignty. Literature and the Russian-Georgian Encounter,” seeks to provide a historical account of cultural relations between Georgian and Russian artists and writers over the course of the nineteenth century and early Soviet eras, focusing specifically on how the Caucasus region has been mapped geopolitically as contested territory and geopoetically as a space of natural and ethnolinguistic diversity. His third book project, tentatively titled “The Worlding of Russian Literature,” will examine the interaction of Russian and world literatures during two crucial moments of transition and rupture: the 1840s, which saw the emergence of plebeian intellectuals and a new sense of the public sphere, and the 1920s, when the Russian avant-garde sought to reimagine the relationship between society and the written word.

Samuel Hodgkin is an Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature at Yale University, who has published on the modern verse, theater, and criticism of Iran, Turkey, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. His current book project, entitled “The Nightingales’ Congress: Literary Representatives in the Communist East,” shows how the Soviet internationalist project of world literature emerged from sustained engagement between leftist writers of West and South Asia and state-sponsored writers of the multinational Soviet East.

Interdisciplinary Workshop in American Politics (IWAP) (October 9, 2020 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77486 77486-19877770@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 9, 2020 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Workshop in American Politics

ABSTRACT:
Political activity on social media presents a data-rich window into political behavior, but the vast amount of data means that almost all content analyses of social media require a data labeling step. Automated labeling methods, however, ignore the multimodality of posted content, focusing either on text or images. State-of-the-art vision-and-language models are unusable for most political science research: they require all observations have both image and text and require computationally expensive pretraining. This paper proposes a novel vision-and-language framework calledmultimodal representations using modality translation (MARMOT). MARMOT presents three methodological contributions: it can construct representations for observations missing image or text, it replaces the computationally expensive pretraining with modality translation, and it leverages off-the-shelf transfer learning models from computer vision and natural language processing. MARMOT outperforms an ensemble text-only classifier in 16 of 20 categories in multilabel classifications of tweets reporting election incidents during the 2016 U.S. general election. Moreover, MARMOT sets a new state-of-the-art result on the Hateful Memes dataset, improving the best result in terms of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) from 0.7141 to 0.7530 and accuracy from 0.6473 to 0.6760.

The Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics (IWAP) is a forum for the presentation of ongoing interdisciplinary research in American politics. Most of our presentations are given by graduate students. Each graduate student presenter is assigned a faculty and student discussant. IWAP circulates the work beforehand and the student presents it briefly at the start of the meeting. After discussant feedback, the bulk of the time is reserved for group discussion among all workshop participants. This format leads to informal yet highly interactive and productive conversations.

Colloquium: “The ecology of L2 learning and L1 change in adult bilingualism” (October 9, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77371 77371-19846045@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 9, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Antonella Sorace, Professor of Developmental Linguistics, University of Edinburgh, will give a virtual colloquium: “The ecology of L2 learning and L1 change in adult bilingualism.”

ABSTRACT
Recent research on adult bilingualism shows that selective aspects of grammar become variable in speakers experiencing native language (L1) attrition from learning a second language. I will first show that the structures affected involve “complex contingencies” (Phillips & Ehrenhofer 2015) that require efficient integration of information across (syntactic, pragmatic and contextual) domains. These are the same structures that remain variable even in highly proficient non-native (L2) speakers of the same language (Sorace 2011, 2016). I will then consider various factors that may play a role in these phenomena, including cross-linguistic effects, the cognitive costs of handling two languages, and the role of over-expliciteness. I will finally point to the possibility that L1 change and L2 acquisition may be functionally related in active proficient bilinguals. I will conclude that L1 attrition is a natural consequence of language contact, first in the bilingual brain and then in bilingual communities, which may eventually lead to language change. Understanding the big picture requires interdisciplinary research on different facets of bilingualism that combines the strengths of both linguistic and cognitive models.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Bilge Nur Saltik (Founder, Form&Seek), Aaron Blendowski (Artist & Designer) and Alison Wong (Director + Curator, Wasserman Projects) will discuss the concept and development of Never Normal, an exhibition created by the Detroit based design collective Form&Seek, produced by Wasserman Projects. Featuring works by over 20 designers, Never Normal expresses the ever-changing viewpoint of the designer’s perspective on the built world. Looking away from the conventional means of solving problems, the works in this exhibition seek to reexamine and reevaluate our personal relationships to our domestic landscape. Through craft or making, these designers are able to express value, preciousness, and care that offer intuitive moments of clarity on contemporary issues in response to the needs of a society in flux.

The future now seems inscrutable, provoking us to think of the possibilities and opportunities for change in human behaviors and our environment.

Form&Seek, together with Wasserman Projects, is proud to present Never Normal in Detroit to honor its history as the cradle of American design and to uphold the city as a platform for new experimental design.

In partnership with Wasserman Projects.

Cognitive Science Seminar Series: "Which linguistic theory for CogSci?" (October 12, 2020 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77894 77894-19941560@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 12, 2020 2:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Linguistics professor Jeffrey Health will give a talk titled "Which linguistic theory for CogSci?"

Please visit the seminar website for Zoom link and details.

ABSTRACT
The linguistic theory most familiar to cognitive scientists, the syntax-centric generativist model, has deep-seated problems for which no patches are available. Syntax-centrism alienates the model from processing and especially from speaking, and therefore from any natural cognitive processes. Its emphasis on economy now seems quaint in the context of the brain’s massive storage and computational power. The evo-devo theory that is joined to the theory’s hip makes no sense biologically. Under the microscope, current minimalism consists largely of ad hoc devices to account for language-specific linear ordering: functional projections some of which are meaningless, unnecessary specifier positions for these projections, phonological deletion due to unmotivated “computational efficiency,” and ad hoc processes like “remnant movement” when all else fails. Even with this proliferation of makeshift entities and processes, the model cannot account for basic morphosyntactic phenomena in many nonwestern languages. In this talk I discuss how a directional, speaker-centric model that stands up to crosslinguistic findings might be cobbled together from “cognitive linguistics” on the semantic end and morphophonological (including prosodic) theories on the output end. I describe some linguistic issues that are, and some that are not, amenable to experimental study and to computational modeling.

Hot off the Press (October 12, 2020 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78282 78282-20002863@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 12, 2020 5:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Middle East Studies

*Registration is required for this event:* http://myumi.ch/jxNGK

*Hot off the Press* is a forum for graduate students, lecturers, and faculty to share their research, talk about the challenges they have encountered and the approaches they have, or are considering in the process of formulating their frames of analysis.

The October round of *Hot off the Press* will explore entangled histories of confessionalism in the Middle East. Salman Elamir (MES, PhD Candidate) will discuss the ethnographic research he conducted last summer on the Druze community living in Israel, how they remember their past incarnations and spoke about the past through their life stories. Joshua Cole (History, Professor) will talk about the challenges he encountered writing his recent book, *Lethal Provocation: The Constantine Murders and the Politics of French Algeria* on anti-Jewish violence in French Algeria at a moment of growing rupture between Algeria’s Jews and Muslims. Golriz Farshi (MES, PhD Candidate) will discuss her dissertation chapter that reads the establishment of an endowed charitable complex by a Jewish convert to Islam, Rashid al-Din Fazlallah al-Hamadani, both as an act of individual conversion and the materialization of Mongol collective conversion to Islam.

MORE Mentoring Plan Workshop (October 13, 2020 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/75722 75722-19576539@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 13, 2020 9:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

This workshop helps to enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor. Faculty and students will work independently in separate sessions to identify their own objectives and styles, and then faculty-student pairs will have time to work together to develop a mentoring plan: a two-way document to codify goals, needs, and shared expectations. Over 85% of Rackham doctoral students surveyed report that having a written agreement for successful mentoring is useful.
This workshop is facilitated by the MORE (Mentoring Others Results in Excellence) Committee, a Rackham committee that engages with faculty and graduate students to foster conversations about mentoring.
Registration is required of both the faculty and student.
Student registration: https://myumi.ch/2D173.
Faculty registration: https://myumi.ch/jxNnl.
We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time (one week preferred) to arrange for your requested accommodation(s) or an effective alternative.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Zoom Webinar: "Civic Solidarity: Sustaining Contention and Building Democratic Institutions in Contemporary Village China" (October 13, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76155 76155-19669625@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 13, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

The Fall 2020 lecture series will be only available on-line as a Zoom webinar.

Civic solidarity is an underexplored concept in sociology and political science. This talk unpacks its theoretical dimensions—what civic solidarity is, how it is formed, and what the social and political implications are. Through this lens, Dr. Liu examines a puzzling phenomenon in contemporary rural China: Why are some villagers able to sustain contention and engage in building democratic institutions for self-rule?

Jundai Liu is a WCED Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan. She received her PhD in sociology from Harvard University in 2018. With comparative-historical and qualitative methods, her research lies broadly in political sociology, sociology of development, and historical sociology, with a focus on China and East Asia. Her current book project examines different patterns of villagers’ political behavior where there were major stakes and conflicts brought about by active land development in China.

Registration required. Zoom Registration Link: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Nb2ggIo4SsWPUQ8xPcDbNg

Cosponsored by the U-M Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.
