I Wish to Say: Voters Broadcast (October 28, 2020 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77702 77702-19903720@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 28, 2020 3:00pm
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.

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
Wednesday, October 28, 3 pm

Watch the performances here: http://www.lisabielawa.net/voters-broadcast

Lisa Bielawa’s Voters’ Broadcast - Virtual World Premiere
Wednesday, October 28, 3:00-4:00 pm
Registration is required: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lisa-bielawas-voters-broadcast-virtual-world-premiere-registration-122615362851
This event is free and open to the public.
Join composer Lisa Bielawa as she unveils her new, broadly participatory musical work Voters’ Broadcast (http://www.lisabielawa.net/voters-broadcast) in its entirety for the first time online in this virtual event hosted by University Musical Society President Matthew VanBesien, and co-presented by University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and Kaufman Music Center in New York.
Bielawa has created Voters’ Broadcast for an unlimited number of voices and instruments made up of choral singers and instrumentalists from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; the University Musical Society Choral Union; Kaufman Music Center in New York; and more, for performance online and/or by socially distanced ensembles. Her mission with the work is to stimulate voter engagement, political awareness, and community participation in challenging lockdown conditions, through the act of giving voice to the concerns of fellow citizens during the lead-up to the 2020 Presidential election.

The text for Voters’ Broadcast is excerpted from artist Sheryl Oring’s ongoing project I Wish to Say, which uses vintage typewriters for social change. I Wish to Say consists of performances in which Oring and a pool of typists work on vintage manual typewriters and invite the public to dictate postcards to the U.S. President. In the current circumstances, Oring and the typists are holding Zoom sessions, during which participants dictate their messages to the next President. Launched in 2004, the project has garnered nearly 4,000 postcards to President Bush, President Obama, and President Trump, all of which have been mailed to the White House on behalf of the participant as part of the performance.

Voters’ Broadcast is commissioned as part of the Democracy & Debate theme-semester by the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor with support from its School of Music, Theatre & Dance, and developed in partnership with Kaufman Music Center in New York, where Bielawa is a 2020 Artist in Residence.

Voters’ Broadcast is providing voting information via HeadCount, a non-partisan organization that uses the power of music to register voters and promote participation in democracy. Check your voter registration and make a plan to vote at HeadCount.org.

Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Abstract: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) allows researchers to examine the transcriptome at the single-cell resolution and has been increasingly employed as technologies continue to advance. Due to technical and biological reasons unique to scRNA-seq data, clustering and batch effect correction are almost indispensable to ensure valid and powerful data analysis. Multiple methods have been proposed for these two important tasks. For clustering, we have found that different methods, including state-of-the-art methods such as Seurat, SC3, CIDR, SIMLR, t-SNE + k-means, yield varying results in terms of both the number of clusters and actual cluster assignments. We have developed ensemble methods, SAFE-clustering and SAME-clustering, that leverages hyper-graph partitioning algorithms and a mixture model-based approach respectively to produce more robust and accurate ensemble solution on top of clustering results from individual methods. For batch effect correction, we have developed methods based on supervised mutual nearest neighbor detection to harness the power of known cell type labels for certain single cells. We benchmarked all methods in various scRNA-seq datasets to demonstrate their utilities.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Semester in Detroit

Note: This is the first class in a 4-part series. For more information on the series, please visit our website: tinyurl.com/wattstodetroit

The first class will frame the trajectory of our four-week course before moving on to address the impact of the Watts rebellion on state violence. It situates the Watts rebellion as a key turning point that led to increasingly militant Black activism as well as the militarization of police, expanded surveillance, and the promulgation of “copaganda” that built off of growing calls for “law and order” and reinforced and expanded hyper-policing and the criminalization Black urban communities, residents, and politics in the 60s, including in Detroit.

SPEAKERS:

- Facilitator: David Goldberg (Associate Professor of African American Studies at Wayne State University. His work deals with the intersection of Black labor, urban and social movement history, with a particular focus on Detroit (where he is from). He is currently writing a biography of General Baker and is on the board of the General Baker Institute.)

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

TITLE:
Greenland’s Shear Margins in Warming Climate: A Summary of Recent Work

ABSTRACT:
The Greenland Ice Sheet has experienced unprecedented changes in the couple decades resulting from regional warming resulting in enhanced surface melting. The increase in melting has activated a dynamic surface hydrologic system contributing to significant mass loss. Surface melt runoff contributes directly to Greenland’s mass loss as well as infiltration which impact ice dynamics and mass discharge. The ice sheet has a few critical bounding forces that can influence the rate of mass loss which includes the loss of ice shelves/tongues, enhanced calving at marine-terminating outlet glaciers, and an evolving basal hydrologic system due to infiltration of surface melt. In particular, the impact of surface melt water on ice dynamics via supraglacial lake drainage and runoff has been well documented. Little attention has been focused on direct injection of surface melt water into the shear margins of fast flowing, marine-terminating outlet glaciers, which are a critical control on mass flux. Our initial work was the first to characterize water-filled crevasse ponds within the shear margins of Jakobshavn Isbræ and assess the volume of infiltrated melt water potentially reaching the bed. In the intervening years since this seminal work, we have utilized satellite observations and numerical models to decode the impact of hydrologic shear weakening due to melt water injection from these structures with implications for the evolution of Greenland’s other marine-terminating outlet glaciers under a warming climate.

We have constrained the theoretical impact of hydrologic shear weakening on extra-marginal ice flow using diagnostic models and provide projections for flow enhancement under future warming scenarios. For select seasons, we assessed relationships between extra-marginal, summer-time ice velocities and drainage of water-filled crevasses. We are starting to understand factors that drive how these crevasse systems fill and drain. We have characterized the spatial and temporal variability of melt extent over a 16 year period and assess the temporal changes in hydrologic state (filled vs. drained). Lastly, we explore implications for how not only water-filled shear ponds but other mechanisms such as rheological modification influence the dynamics of marine-terminating outlet glacier systems. Under future regional warming scenarios, we expect for mass discharge from Greenland’s outlet glaciers to be enhanced by perturbations to shear margins of these glacial systems.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Speakers:
- William Lopez, Faculty Director of Public Scholarship at the National Center for Institutional Diversity and Assistant Clinical Professor at the School of Public Health
- Emily Fredericks, Professor of Pediatrics; Director, Division of Pediatric Psychology
- Matthew Lassiter, Associate Professor of History and Urban and Regional Planning

On a Thursday in November of 2013, Guadalupe Morales waited anxiously with her sister-in-law and their four small children. Every Latino man who drove away from their shared apartment above a small auto repair shop that day had failed to return—arrested, one by one, by ICE agents and local police. As the two women discussed what to do next, a SWAT team clad in body armor and carrying assault rifles stormed the room. As Guadalupe remembers it, "The soldiers came in the house. They knocked down doors. They threw gas. They had guns. We were two women with small children... The kids terrified, the kids screaming."

In Separated, William D. Lopez examines the lasting damage done by this daylong act of collaborative immigration enforcement in Washtenaw County, Michigan. Exploring the chaos of enforcement through the lens of community health, Lopez discusses deportation's rippling negative effects on families, communities, and individuals. Focusing on those left behind, Lopez reveals their efforts to cope with trauma, avoid homelessness, handle worsening health, and keep their families together as they attempt to deal with a deportation machine that is militarized, traumatic, implicitly racist, and profoundly violent.

Lopez uses this single home raid to show what immigration law enforcement looks like from the perspective of the people who actually experience it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with twenty-four individuals whose lives were changed that day in 2013, as well as field notes, records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, and his own experience as an activist, Lopez combines rigorous research with narrative storytelling. Putting faces and names to the numbers behind deportation statistics, Separated urges readers to move beyond sound bites and consider the human experience of mixed-status communities in the small everyday towns that dot the interior of the United States.

This event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works, New Questions series, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.

FAST Lecture | Domus, Wine Cellars, and Churches at Amheida: Late Antique Ceramic Contexts in an Egyptian Oasis (October 29, 2020 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78426 78426-20042431@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 29, 2020 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Excavations at Amheida, located in the Dakhleh Oasis in the western desert of Egypt, have always had a strong ceramological component: the ancient walls in the site were constructed with a mix of broken potsherds and mudbrick, the latter which has eroded with time and left millions of chinking sherds scattered on the vast sandy surface. An initial survey conducted in 2005 estimated the surface ceramics to total about 330 million sherds. Beyond architectural remains, the ceramics have also revealed much about Dakhleh’s economy and society.

This talk will explore three particular ceramic contexts that reveal aspects of Dakhleh’s wine production in the Roman period, via ostraka and wine jars; about olive oil production and exportation, through the history of its kegs; and about the lives of the councilmen and clergy, through imported amphorae and local finewares.

What is Healing Justice?
According to Cara Page, Healing Justice is a framework that identifies how we can holistically respond to and intervene on generational trauma and violence and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our bodies, hearts and minds.

What is Cultural Organizing?

Cultural organizing places culture at the center of an organizing strategy. It can be done to unite people through the humanity of culture and the democracy of participation. This series explores the ways in which healing justice, creativity and arts enhance cultural organizing through a series of unique workshops led by Detroiters that are at the forefront of this movement. This type of creative organizing empowers communities to come together in celebration of culture while developing valuable skills that challenge power and oppression.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

About the Artist

Foundations & Frontiers Speaker Series: A Brief History of Computation; Computational Approaches for Mental Health (October 30, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/78429 78429-20042433@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 30, 2020 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

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

Frederike Petzschner is a Carney Institute Fellow in the Center for Computational Brain Science and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University. Dr. Petzschner will give two presentations on October 30:

A Brief History of Computation (Foundations presentation)
Our notion of what the capabilities and function of the brain and mind are has evolved fundamentally in the past century. As a result, we have moved from early Psychophysics to Behaviorism to the Cognitive Revolution, when theories of computation entered the forefront of modern Cognitive Science. This history and the fundamental questions posed at different times provide a great deal of insight into our modern thinking and paves the way where the field might take us in the future. In this lecture, I will try to provide a short guide through the history of computation and discuss what could be learned from it.

Computational Approaches for Mental Health (Frontiers presentation)
The growing field of Computational Psychiatry provides a prime example of how theories of computation may provide not only insights into the function of healthy minds but also mental disorders. In this lecture, I will discuss three examples of where we apply computational methods to understand learning, perception or decision-making in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Gambling Addiction and Disorders of Interoception.

Presentation Schedule (EST):
11:00 - 11:30 am. Foundations presentation
11:30 - 11:45 am Q&A
11:45 am - 12:35 pm Frontiers presentation
12:35 - 1:00 pm. Q&A

Q&A Protocol
Please save any questions for the Q&A periods. If you would like to ask a question, please use the ‘Raise Hand’ feature of Zoom. If you have a follow-up question, please use the green ‘Yes’ feature of Zoom. I will manage the queue and call on participants in the order in which hands are raised. Once called upon, unmute your mic and ask your question.

The Biophysics Virtual Seminar Series presents:

Dr. Ido Golding - Professor of Physics, School of Molecular & Cellular Biology, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

"Illuminating bacterial individuality"

ABSTRACT: Single-cell measurements of mRNA copy numbers inform our understanding of stochastic gene expression, but these measurements coarse-grain over the individual copies of the gene, where transcription and its regulation take place stochastically. We recently combined single-molecule quantification of mRNA and gene loci to measure the transcriptional activity of an endogenous gene in
individual Escherichia coli bacteria. When interpreted using a theoretical model for mRNA dynamics, the single-cell data allowed us to obtain the probabilistic rates of promoter switching, transcription initiation and elongation, mRNA release and degradation. Unexpectedly, we found that gene activity can be strongly coupled to the transcriptional state of another copy of the same gene present in the cell, and to the event of gene replication during the bacterial cell cycle. These gene-copy and cell-cycle correlations demonstrate the limits of mapping whole-cell mRNA numbers to the underlying stochastic gene activity and highlight the contribution of previously hidden variables to the observed population heterogeneity.

Iconic Images: Charlottesville 2017, Selma 1965, Birmingham 1963 (October 30, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78741 78741-20115265@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 30, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Film, Television, and Media

REGISTRATION REQUIRED - SEE LINK BELOW

The Martin Luther King-led Birmingham and Selma campaigns resulted in iconic photographic images that to this day signify “the civil rights movement”: typically those images feature empowered, active whites and victimized, powerless blacks. The events of August 11th and 12th during Charlottesville’s “Summer of Hate” have also produced a group of iconic images that the mass media relies on to signify the violent and emboldened racist hatred of the “Unite the Right” rally and its aftermath. In analyzing and comparing the most frequently circulated photographs, I want to suggest a similarity in the narrative that these frequently circulated photos tend to tell about the struggle for racial justice. A photo of the terrorist car attack that killed Heather Heyer won the Pulitzer Prize. Why? What is this horrifically chaotic, violent, almost visually incomprehensible photo communicating? Why is this image reproduced over and over again? How is it thematically and visually similar to iconic images from the civil rights era? How and why does it matter that our photographic record encourages us to remember key events around race and white supremacy in particular ways?

Aniko Bodroghkozy is a Professor of Media Studies at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville where she has been on faculty since 2001. She is a media historian with a particular focus on American television, the social change movements of the 1960s, media audiences and reception practices in historical context, and the development of television journalism in the 1960s.

Nusrat Durrani is a pioneering media executive and award-winning creative renowned for cutting-edge work in television, film, digital and social media. For two decades, Nusrat kept MTV at the forefront of the cultural conversation by boldly tackling themes related to pop culture, race, color, gender, sexual identity, and representation in programming he produced in provocative new formats. Nusrat’s ground-breaking documentary series Rebel Music, about young activists around the world fighting oppression, won accolades with the Obama White House and predated the current Black Lives Matter movement. Madly, his electrifying omnibus of unusual love stories by leading directors, won a best actress award at the Tribeca Film Festival. His latest work in film and photography explores the loss, disconnection, challenges and pleasures experienced by small town folks around the world and in the American heartland.

This Penny Stamps Speaker Series event opens with the world premiere of Durrani’s newest film, An American Prayer. The film chronicles the magic, loss, and reincarnation of the American Dream told through the stories and incantations of its citizens. Learn more about the film and watch the trailer: https://www.anamericanprayermovie.com/
There will be a live Q&A following the webcast on 10/30 with the cast and crew.

This event is part of the Democracy & Debate theme semester.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

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.

- Exploring potential academic majors and minors, interests, and professions or have a clear idea of all three
- Looking for internship opportunities to help clarify career pathways to pursue
Interested in developing professional skills that will make you career-ready

By taking these online Canvas modules, you will:

- Identify your pre-existing skills and determine competencies you want to cultivate
- Uncover your career values or what you want out of your career in terms of time commitment, type of work, location, and climate
- Learn how to research career options that match your values, skills, and interests

By attending the live virtual workshop, you will:

- Articulate your career interests or what work you find viable, meaningful, and enjoyable
- Get deeper insights into the variety of career paths an LSA degree can carve out
- Connect with peers to brainstorm together different ways to meet your career goals

CMENAS Colloquium Series. The Unintended Consequences of International Support for Civil Resistance Campaigns: Evidence from Syria (November 2, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75970 75970-19629770@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 2, 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:
How does international engagement influence the course of nonviolent campaigns against repressive dictatorships? In this week’s CMENAS colloquium, Matthew Cebul considers this question in the aftermath of the 2011 Syrian Revolution. Matthew contends that international encouragement for peaceful protest may shape protesters' behavior in ways that counterintuitively increase the likelihood of violent conflict onset, with implications for ongoing U.S. efforts to support pro-democracy movements.

About the Speaker:
Matthew Cebul is a WCED Postdoctoral Fellow for 2019-21. His research agenda lies at the intersection of international security and comparative politics, with a regional focus on the Middle East. Matthew’s dissertation and book project, “Repression and Rebellion in the Shadow of Foreign Intervention,” investigates two puzzling aspects of mass resistance to autocratic regimes: (1) why opposition mobilization sometimes persists despite extreme repression; and (2) why some resistance movements remain nonviolent, while others embrace armed rebellion. Whereas existing scholarship attributes this variation to a number of domestic factors, Matthew analyzes how the possibility of international support conditions the opposition’s response to regime violence. Drawing on original interview and survey data from the 2011 Syrian Revolution, the project reveals a troubling relationship: while the expectation of foreign support can encourage nonviolent mobilization, emboldened movements are also more likely to experience excessive exposure to repression, and are consequently at greater risk of violent radicalization. As a postdoctoral fellow, Matthew will continue to develop his book manuscript, incorporating data from both contemporary and historical cases of resistance to autocracy. He will also advance a series of related projects, including research exploring how dissidents assess the likelihood of repression, the effects of sectarian geographies on the efficacy of repression, and U.S. support for democratization as a function of opposition structure.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

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

During the eleventh century, literati tried for the first time to capture the living urban landscape in writing. As a new literary subject, the urban streetscape afforded scope for original effects, but literati also wrote the city for ideological reasons. On the written page, they could set themselves apart—as individuals in the anonymous crowd, as connoisseurs among spendthrift nobles—as they could not in the streets and markets of the dense metropolis, and they could conform the confusing movement of people, goods, and money to a moral economy of perfect circulation and equitable distribution, as they could not in practical administration.

Christian de Pee is Associate Professor of History at the University of Michigan. He is the author of "The Writing of Weddings in Middle-Period China: Text and Ritual Practice in the Eighth through Fourteenth Centuries" (2007) and co-editor of "Senses of the City: Perceptions of Hangzhou and the Southern Song, 1127-1279" (2017). He is currently writing a history of eleventh-century China for a general audience, "The Chinese Renaissance: How the Song Dynasty Changed China and the World in the Eleventh Century."

Abstract:
Matter at extreme pressures, temperatures, and densities characterizes a wide variety of natural and man-made phenomena, including interiors of Jovian size planets, hyper-velocity meteor impacts, the burning core of stars, thermonuclear burning inertial confinement fusion capsules. Matter at these conditions defines the exciting and challenging field of High Energy Density Physics (HEDP). Besides vast experimental resources, there exists a rich set of computational tools that model the micro to macro regimes of HEDP. Recently, there has been a resurgence in interest in using a “simpler” approach to investigating HEDP based on quantum hydrodynamics. Quantum Hydrodynamics (QHD) has a long and interesting history, dating back to the first developments by Madelung and Bohm. In this talk, we discuss the historical and recent developments in QHD, including pitfalls, as applied to quantum many-body systems relevant to HEDP regimes. We will present three different approaches to deriving the QHD equations-Madelung, Bloch, and Wigner and discuss their pros and cons. Finally, the role that Rayleigh-Taylor hydrodynamic instabilities play is discussed within the QHD formalism.

Abstract: Metabolomics is a powerful approach to characterize small molecules produced in cells, tissues, and other biological systems. Metabolites are direct products of enzymatic reactions and provide a snapshot of cellular activities. Metabolomics-based research has already had a profound impact on biomarker discovery, nutritional analysis, and other biomedical and biological discoveries. The most pressing problem in metabolomics however is identifying compounds in the sample-under-study from the metabolomics measurements. Current analysis tools are capable of annotating only a small portion of sample measurements.

In this talk, we present machine learning solutions to three challenges related to the interpretation of metabolomics data. To mimic the function of a mass spectrometer in generating a mass spectrum, we use graph neural networks to translate a molecular structure into its respective spectral signature. To interpret the biological measurements in the context of the biological sample, we use Bayesan learning to deduce the likelihood of pathway activities. To suggest putative candidate molecules that are biologically relevant matches to the measured spectra, we explore several methods for predicting possible enzymatic products. We discuss several results, highlighting the value of using machine learning for advancing metabolomics analysis.

The factory ruins that litter Armenia’s urban outskirts constitute a colossal agglomeration of what Ann Stoler calls “imperial debris”. In the wake of the Soviet collapse, they are remnants of a process of aggressive industrialization that thrust Armenia headlong into the age of high modernity. Like other modern ruins, from a distance, these industrial carcasses stand as poignant allegories of failed utopian projects, both socialist and capitalist. But up close, they are sites of improbable livelihood practices that defy familiar critique. Based on archaeological and ethnographic fieldwork in decommissioned Soviet factories across Armenia, this research examines deviant projects at the margins of global capitalism to retain industrial lifeways and make a living under conditions of ruination. ‘Trials of ruination’ refers to the struggle to unlock or forgo the salvage value of Soviet machines and factories undergoing slow, irreversible decay. These trials enlist people into acts of constant improvisation. A ‘life extempore’ is one in which the primary tactic for capturing or forestalling salvage value is perpetual extemporization, doing things one never planned or was trained to do. This talk focuses on the improvisational practices of two extemporists in the cities of Yerevan and Yeghegnadzor, and their efforts to revalue the anachronistic but persistent material world of Soviet industry, a massive accumulation of displaced socialist things out of proper time.

Lori Khatchadourian is Associate Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Cornell University. Her research centers on the relationship between imperialism and the vast world of material things. As both an archaeologist of Armenia and the Near East, as well as a scholar of the Soviet and post-Soviet Caucasus, Dr. Khatchadourian pursues this concern with the materiality of empire across temporal and disciplinary boundaries—ancient and modern, archaeological and ethnographic. She is the author of “Imperial Matter: Ancient Persia and the Archaeology of Empires” (UC Press, 2016). Her current book project centers on the ruins of modernity in Armenia. Dr. Khatchadourian is co-director of Project ArAGATS and directs the Afterlife of Socialist Modernity project.

Black College Student Mental Health: What institutions need to know and do to support healing and thriving in a time of racial crisis (November 5, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78024 78024-19955553@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 5, 2020 12:00pm

Along with academic impacts, college contexts can serve to support or challenge students’ personal development and well-being in important ways. Increasingly, researchers and higher education institutions are paying attention to college student mental health, but less of this focus has considered the specific contextual experiences, challenges, and supports relevant to Black students’ mental health as they enter and navigate predominantly White institutions (PWI). College student research shows that, along with the social and academic challenges of college experienced by most/all students, Black students routinely report negative race-related experiences in their PWI settings - microaggressions and discrimination; biased stereotype-based treatment, low expectations; and both isolation/exclusion and hypervisibility (over-monitoring as suspicious or dangerous) due to race. Black students’ racially marginalizing experiences are sometimes tied to students’ multiple identities (e.g., their race along with their ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, or sexual orientations, among other identities). Such devaluing experiences have been linked to poorer academic achievement and persistence outcomes, but these experiences likely function to undermine mental health as well.


Now more than ever, a focus on Black college student mental health is critical. In 2020, Black students are entering their college campuses (in-person or remotely) after a summer of widespread protests against anti-Black police violence and systemic racism, sparked by public witnessing of videos depicting murders and brutalizing of Black Americans by police. Many Black students are also coming from communities disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the knowledge that these differential impacts are directly and indirectly due to systemic racism. Thus, while Black students bring many personal and cultural strengths to their campuses that can be leveraged to support their positive college adjustment, they also experience unique challenges and vulnerabilities due to racism - both on their campuses and in the broader society - that can undermine their well-being and thriving on campus. Higher education must be accountable in understanding Black student experiences and, importantly, acting on this knowledge to meet the goals of supporting and serving all students equitably.


This webinar will feature the research of three scholars actively engaged in research on the positive mental health of Black college students. All are grant recipients of the 2020 National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID) Pop-Up Grant program cycle, themed around Mental Health among Marginalized Communities, and co-sponsored in partnership with The Steve Fund. Each scholar will share research findings yielded from their grant projects and outline specific implications and recommendations for research and action.

CJS Noon Lecture Series | Voice as Talisman: Theorizing Sound in Medieval Japanese Treatises on Sutra Chanting (November 5, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75381 75381-19450119@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 5, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

How material a thing is the human voice? Music provides a place for the early theorization of sound as an active force operating in registers that are at once spiritual (accounting for the summoning of unseen gods and spirits), scientific (producing hypotheses regarding the principles underlying action at a distance), aesthetic (conceptualizing how and why people may be more or less affectively moved), and deeply embodied (positing figurations of the human form as a resonance chamber). In this talk, I focus on the chanting of Buddhist sacred text in medieval Japan, in order to excavate Buddhist theories of sound – and particularly human-produced sound – as capable of acting on and in the space-time of lived reality.

Charlotte Eubanks is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and Asian Studies at Penn State. They study the material culture of books and word/image relations, with a focus on Japanese literature from the medieval period to the present. Their first book, entitled *Miracles of Book and Body: Buddhist Textual Culture and Medieval Japan* (University of California Press, 2011), examines the relationship between human body and sacred text in the Buddhist literary tradition, focusing on reading as a performance-based act which bridges the text-flesh barrier. Their second book (*The Art of Persistence: Akamatsu Toshiko and the Visual Cultures of Transwar Japan*, U Hawai'i Press, 2020) moves to the 20th century. Through a microhistory of the artist Akamatsu Toshiko (Maruki Toshi, 1912-2000), the book outlines the possibilities for anti-war and anti-colonial thought in imperial Japan. Their third book will return to the medieval Buddhist world, with a phenomenological examination of the literary corpus of the 13th century Zen master Dōgen. Their articles have appeared in venues including *Book History, The Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies, Ars Orientalis, The Japanese Journal of Religious Studies, PMLA*, and *Word & Image*. Charlotte is Head of the Department of Comparative Literature, founding president of the MLA Japan to 1900 forum, and Associate Editor of *Verge: Studies in Global Asias*.

TITLE: Solar Energetic Particles

ABSTRACT: Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are the most powerful solar explosive events occurred on the Sun. In large solar flares, a wide range of electromagnetic waves ranging from the kilometric radio wave to the Gamma-rays are released in a short period of time and a gigantic amount of ionized gas is ejected in the coronal mass ejections. In those processes, solar energetic particles can be accelerated to near-relativistic energies and injected into the interplanetary space. When traveling in the interplanetary space, they impose a serious radiation hazard to human lives on the earth, the orbiting astronauts, spacecraft, and our future space exploration missions. However, the underlying acceleration mechanisms in those events and the particles’ transport process from the sun to the interplanetary space is still under debate. I investigate the behaviors of those energetic particles with observational analysis, and model their behavior using numerical simulations. In particular, I modeled the acceleration and transport process of energetic particles by solving the Fokker-Planck equation numerically and evaluate the temporal and spatial distribution profiles, energy spectra, and element abundances of energetic particles with the measurement made by various spacecraft. Because of their great impact to the space radiation environment and the growing demand for space travel and exploration, a successful forecast of the occurrence and flux of solar energetic particles is urgent. Both numerical models and machine learning techniques are utilized in my current approach to predict the occurrence and flux of solar energetic particles.

What is Healing Justice?
According to Cara Page, Healing Justice is a framework that identifies how we can holistically respond to and intervene on generational trauma and violence and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our bodies, hearts and minds.

What is Cultural Organizing?

Cultural organizing places culture at the center of an organizing strategy. It can be done to unite people through the humanity of culture and the democracy of participation. This series explores the ways in which healing justice, creativity and arts enhance cultural organizing through a series of unique workshops led by Detroiters that are at the forefront of this movement. This type of creative organizing empowers communities to come together in celebration of culture while developing valuable skills that challenge power and oppression.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

About the Artist
Sarah Rose Sharp is a Detroit-based writer, activist, photographer, and multimedia artist. She writes about art and culture for Art in America, Hyperallergic, Flash Art, Sculpture Magazine, ArtSlant, and others. Sarah was named a 2015 Kresge Literary Arts Fellow for Art Criticism and is a 2018 recipient of the Rabkin Foundation Prize. She is a guest lecturer at several universities in Southeast Michigan and served as a mentor in the NYFA Immigrant Artist Mentorship Program in 2018. Sarah has served as guest curator and juror for institutions including Penn State University (State College, PA), Scarab Club (Detroit, MI), The Terhune Gallery (Toledo, OH), and The Ann Arbor Art Center (Ann Arbor, MI). Sarah has shown her own work in New York, Seattle, Columbus & Toledo, OH, Covington, KY, and Detroit—including at the Detroit Institute of Arts—with solo shows at Simone De Sousa Gallery and Public Pool.

*"Protein Allostery: Evolution and Correlated Motions"*

Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99976448506

ABSTRACT: Understanding the relationship between protein sequence, structure, dynamics, and function is the ultimate goal of structural biology. For this reason, my lab studies protein allostery - a special property of macromolecules that connects molecular motion and action. In this talk, I'll present two stories. First, I'll talk about how the evolution of allosteric mechanisms and the tools of structural biology can teach us about the relationship between protein sequence and function. In the second story, I'll talk about how one can learn about correlated motions that give rise to allostery.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Linguists Betsy Sneller and Suzanne Wagner of Michigan State University will present their project "MI Diaries: Tracking language change during a pandemic."

ABSTRACT
Face-to-face interaction has long been hypothesized to be a central component of both sociolinguistic development for individuals as well as of language change across an entire community. The social distancing conditions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic introduced a deep and long term disruption to typical face-to-face interaction for Michiganders, which in turn enables researchers to test precisely how these widescale disruptions to face-to-face interactions impact sociolinguistic development for children and participation in lifespan change for adults. In this talk, we introduce the MI-Diaries project, which has been tracking audio diaries from participants since the beginning of the pandemic. We highlight some of the major theoretical goals of the project, as well as discuss some of the methodological innovations necessary for conducting sociolinguistic fieldwork during a pandemic.

Peggy Choy’s lifetime of dance has become a means to frame and navigate the dangerous times in which we live. While life and our environment can inform dance, Choy also examines the converse, that dance can inform our life and environment. Join Professor Choy for a live discussion of her own dance stories—both spoken and performed.

Peggy Myo-Young Choy’s dance alchemy of focused mind and moving body is fueled by Asian dance, martial arts, as well as urban vernacular dance forms. Choy’s seminal solos include, “Comfort Woman” and “Wild Rice.” She has also created solos around the themes—“Sea Series” and “Blood Series.” Her women-centered stories created since the mid-1990s, integrate her foundations in Korean dance, Javanese dance, and martial arts.

Choy is an associate professor of Dance and Asian-American Studies at University of Wisconsin-Madison and is director of PEGGY CHOY DANCE company. Her company has performed around the world—at New York’s Dance Theater Workshop, La Mama E.T.C., and Alvin Ailey Studio, DC’s Kennedy Center, Dance Place and the Smithsonian Institution, Kennedy Theater in Honolulu, Utan Kayu in Jakarta, Seoul Art Center in Korea, Danza Teatro Retazos in Havana, and Baráčnická Rychta in Prague, and the Korean Cultural Center in Berlin.

Choy's national and international awards include an NEA/Atlantic Center for the Arts fellowship, Danspace Project's Commissioning Initiative, Princeton and Cornell University commissions, and commissions from the Kintari Foundation, Seoul Selection, and Cafe Intarsia.

This work was supported by the Core University Program for Korean Studies through the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and Korean Studies Promotion Service of the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS-2016-OLU-2240001).

Pedro Reyes and Magalí Arriola: A Conversation (November 6, 2020 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77325 77325-19840080@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 6, 2020 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Mexican artist Pedro Reyes has won international attention for large-scale projects that address current social and political issues. Through a varied practice utilizing sculpture, performance, video, and activism, Reyes explores the power of individual and collective organization to incite change through communication, creativity, happiness, and humor. He designs ongoing projects that propose playful solutions to social problems. From turning guns into musical instruments, to hosting a People’s United Nations to address pressing concerns, to offering ecologically-friendly grasshopper burgers from a food cart, Reyes transforms existing problems into ideas for a better world. In the artist’s hands, complex subjects like political and economic philosophies are reframed in ways that are easy to understand, such as a puppet play featuring Karl Marx and Adam Smith fighting over how to share cookies.

Reyes has had solo exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (2014); The Power Plant, Toronto (2014); the Jumex Museum, Mexico City (2014); the Queens Museum of Art, Queens, New York (2013); Labor, Mexico City (2012, 2010); Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (2011); Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2011); CCA Kitakyushu, Kitakyushu, Japan (2009); Bass Museum, Miami (2008); and San Francisco Art Institute (2008). He has also participated in Sharjah Biennial 11, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates; In the Spirit of Utopia, Whitechapel Gallery, London; and The Carnegie International, Pittsburgh.

Magalí Arriola is Director of Museo Tamayo in Mexico City. She was KADIST Lead Curator for Latin America from 2016 to 2019, and curated the Mexican Pavilion for the 58 Venice Biennial (Pablo Vargas Lugo, Acts of God, 2019). She was Chief Curator at Museo Jumex between 2011 and 2014, and Chief Curator of Museo Tamayo between 2009 and 2011. She was visiting curator at the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art in San Francisco in 2006. Among her independent projects are The Sweet Burnt Smell of History: The 8th Panama Biennial (2008); What once passed for a future, or The landscapes of the living dead (Art2102, Los Angeles, 2005); Alibis (Mexican Cultural Institute, Paris /Witte de With, Rotterdam, 2002); Erógena (Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, Mexico City / SMAK/ Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst, Ghent, 2000). Arriola has extensively written for books, and catalogues and has contributed to publications such as Art Forum, Curare, Frieze, Mousse, Manifesta Journal, and The Exhibitionist, among others.

Facilities she has designed are located in the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries. In North America, almost half of the cattle are handled in a center track restrainer system that she designed for meat plants. Curved chute and race systems she has designed for cattle are used worldwide and her writings on the flight zone and other principles of grazing animal behavior have helped many people to reduce stress on their animals during handling.

As a person with high-functioning autism, Grandin is also widely noted for her work in autism advocacy and is the inventor of the hug machine designed to calm hypersensitive persons.

Presented with support from the UM Autism & Communication Disorders Center.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

The Women’s Suffrage Movement in Photographs (November 7, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76976 76976-19782538@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, November 7, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Since the nation’s founding, Americans have used images to define political power and gender roles. Popular pictures praised male political leaders, while cartoons mocked women who sought rights. In the mid-nineteenth century, women’s rights activists like Sojourner Truth and Susan B. Anthony challenged these powerful norms by distributing engraved and photographic portraits that represented women as political leaders. Over time, suffragists developed a national visual campaign to win voting rights. Their photographs captured their public protests and demonstrated their dedication to their cause for mass audiences. Allison Lange’s talk is based on her book, "Picturing Political Power: Images in the Women’s Suffrage Movement," published in May 2020 by the University of Chicago Press. The book focuses on the ways that women’s rights activists and their opponents used images to define gender and power during the suffrage movement.

Presented in partnership with the Michigan Photographic Historical Society.

Allison K. Lange is an assistant professor of history at the Wentworth Institute of Technology. She received her PhD in history from Brandeis University. Various institutions have supported her work, including the National Endowment for the Humanities, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Library of Congress, and American Antiquarian Society. Her writing has appeared in Imprint, The Atlantic, and The Washington Post. Lange also engages in public history. She has worked with the National Women’s History Museum and curated exhibitions for the Boston Public Library’s Leventhal Map Center. In preparation for the 2020 centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment, she is curator of exhibitions at the Massachusetts Historical Society and Harvard’s Schlesinger Library.

Cognitive Science Seminar: Daily cognition: The design and validation of open intensive longitudinal assessments (November 9, 2020 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77897 77897-19941563@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 9, 2020 2:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Dominic Kelly, U-M Department of Psychology, will give a talk titled "Daily cognition: The design and validation of open intensive longitudinal assessments."

ABSTRACT

Although cognition is often assumed to be stable, there is evidence that it can in fact vary over relatively short timespans, including from day to day. Investigations of cognitive fluctuations, especially fluctuations in cognitive skills that show gender differences, however, are limited by a lack of suitable instruments that are specifically designed for intensive longitudinal assessment (e.g., that reflect daily variation instead of practice effects). Our goal was to design and validate two new, freely available 75-occasion measures of gendered cognition – three-dimensional mental rotations and delayed paired verbal recall. We accomplished this by conducting a 75-day study with 121 participants who completed the novel cognitive measures every evening. Focusing on an age- and language-matched sample of 27 men and 27 women, results suggested that the novel measures are valid, and that they show parallel forms reliability across 75 days and the expected gender differences each day. Moreover, significant intra-individual variation was observed in cognition across the 75 days, indicating that gendered cognition fluctuates daily (in men and women). These findings encourage future work on the antecedents and consequences of cognitive fluctuations and on intra-individual variation in spatial and verbal skills with the new 75-occasion assessments.

About the Event:
Creating a strong purpose is essential to wellbeing in our lives and our organizations during times of uncertainty. With an authentic purpose, individuals and organizations become more resilient, creative, and engaged with their work and the world around them. And employees realize a greater sense of meaning and empowerment.

Join us for a conversation with Vic Strecher hosted by Robert E. Quinn to learn more about the science and practice of building purposeful, thriving organizations. Together, they’ll explore the current scientific research illustrating the positive impact an authentic and well-communicated purpose can have on individuals, teams, and organizations, as well as some keys to help you unlock your own potential.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

Modeling the Perceived Truthfulness of Public Statements on COVID-19: A New Model for Pairwise Comparisons of Objects with Multidimensional Latent Attributes

Qiushi Yu – Ph.D. student, Political Science

What is more important for how individuals perceive the truthfulness of statements about COVID-19: a) the objective truthfulness of the statements, or b) the partisanship of the individual and the partisanship of the people making the statements? To answer this question, we develop a novel model for pairwise comparisons data that allows for a richer structure of both the latent attributes of the objects being compared and rater-specific perceptual differences than standard models. We use the model to analyze survey data that we collected in the summer of 2020. This survey asked respondents to compare the truthfulness of pairs of statements about COVID-19. These statements were taken from the fact-checked statements on https://www.politifact.com. We thus have an independent measure of the truthfulness of each statement. We find that the actual truthfulness of a statement explains very little of the variability in individuals’ perceptions of truthfulness. Instead, we find that the partisanship of the speaker and the partisanship of the rater account for the majority of the variation in perceived truthfulness, with statements made by co-partisans being viewed as more truthful.

Joint work with:
James Breck, Edward Rutherford, and Bobbi Low

Abstract: Life history theory focuses on characteristics of organisms, such as size and age at maturity or tradeoffs between egg number and egg size. It studies how such traits vary as evolutionary responses to natural selection that optimize fitness. One needs to know such characteristics to understand behavior and to design successful conservation strategies. A critical step in such studies is to have the right fitness function. Most theoretical ecologists concerned with life history traits work with one of the classic fitness functions: the intrinsic rate of natural increase r, the net reproductive number R₀, or Fisher’s reproductive value of a female of age x, Vₓ. Their choice among these three is sometimes driven by mathematical parsimony. Working with semelparous and iteroparous Great Lakes salmon, we find that different fitness functions can lead to very different adaptive behaviors to environmental changes. This observation sheds light on just which fitness function may be operational for a given species.

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. Registration link below.

Reproduction links the personal and the political. Through policies that promote or limit births, the state attempts to regulate individuals’ reproductive behavior. At the same time, individuals make reproductive decisions guided by their own fertility intentions and the meaning they attach to children and parenthood. A puzzle remains: Why does active pro-natalist state policy fail to achieve fertility recovery? This talk centers on urban Chinese individuals’ fertility decision-making under the 2016 universal two-child policy. By examining the meaning of children, Dr. Zhou highlights how a gendered pursuit of individualism underlies women’s and men’s fertility aspiration and behavior. In turn, she sheds light on the question of why state policies promoting births may not resonate on the individual level.

Yun Zhou is an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. Her research examines social inequality and state-market-family relations through the lens of gender, marriage, and reproduction. Her work combines statistical analysis of survey data, in-depth interviews, and agent-based computational models. With a focus on gender equity and authoritarian reproductive governance, Dr. Zhou’s current project investigates the intended and unintended consequences of China’s recent shift toward a universal two-child policy.

"The fire raced along the fuse line and incensed;
We rose to burn it all down."

"Across the nation and the globe, we all-knowing and all-conquering human beings find ourselves - for lack of a better way to phrase it - in a corner. In the corner, on a universally ordered timeout like misbehaving children. We were sent from schools, workplaces, nightclubs, bars, and places to eat to our homes to wait, like Didi and Gogo in Becketts' Waiting for Godot— awaiting the arrival of Godot, who never arrives. We were sent home to wait for a safer moment in time for our collective existence, which has yet to come. Sent home to sit in timeout to reflect, reevaluate, and heal as a people and a nation. Dumbfoundedly, we watched the drafted news reports of lives lost to COVID-19 awe-struck by our leaders' indifference to the severity of the moment. Yet, with all those pots boiling over, we heard of a woman who lost her life when startled from slumber in Louisville, we watched one human-being gunned down while jogging in Georgia, and yet another human-being deliberately robbed of breath for 8m46sec in Minnesota. As if the death of all those individual lives lost to COVID-19 thus far were not enough, we return to extinguishing Black lives.

As an Afro-Dominican American, it is interesting to exist in a world designed to erase your existence. As a brown-skinned actor, it is devastating to come to terms with my role in that process of self-erasure. I have navigated between theatrical parts that reinforce negative stereotypes and those that made me question if my performance training would be enough to overcome the cultural discrepancy between myself and the character. It is a question that most often comes up when assuming non-white character roles, which underscores my complicity in my self-erasure. When the color of one's skin and the racially discriminatory experiences lived is drowned by the loud narratives that support– despite evidence— that racism does not exist. What does one do? When one's cultural background is not enough to garner a role or bring authenticity and truth to a character of perhaps African American descent, what does the actor do? When does Black equate to one's culture, and when does it not? Why am I at first glance considered black and then by some not black enough? This presentation aims to address performing one's culture within the context of racial consciousness. Performing an Afro-Dominican-American in New York City."

Antonio Disla, aka Antonio Garcia, is an Afro-Caribbean Dominican-American theatre practitioner, born and raised in New York City. He holds an M.F.A. in Performance from The Ohio State University. Since 2012, Antonio has taught at State University of New York (SUNY) at New Paltz, in both the Department of Theatre Arts and the Department of Communication. As a Solo Artist, he has written and devised both site-specific and staged works dealing with identity and race. Of his works, the notables to date are Nobody, a solo piece about race, and Travel, which deals with identity and destiny. As a performing company member of The Shakespeare Forum, he has led workshops in the New York City Public Schools and co-taught Shakespeare for their Youth Forum program. Antonio has proudly worked with The Black Lady Theater, an African American community theatre company based in Brooklyn, in such productions as From the Brought of Brooklyn and Bone Soup.

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.

30th David W. Belin Lecture in American Jewish Affairs
In 1942, an anonymous “Jewess,” looking across the ocean, wrote “It Can Happen Here.” Her cri de coeur, published in a New York women’s magazine, pled with its readers to bring to an end to the “ever-increasing prejudice” she and her family faced. With antisemitism rising today at home and abroad, American University Professor Pamela Nadell, author of the award-winning America’s Jewish Women: A History from Colonial Times to Today, discusses American Jewish women in the past facing antisemitism, how it affected their lives, and how they responded.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

About the Artist
Sarah Rose Sharp is a Detroit-based writer, activist, photographer, and multimedia artist. She writes about art and culture for Art in America, Hyperallergic, Flash Art, Sculpture Magazine, ArtSlant, and others.

She is a guest lecturer at several universities in Southeast Michigan and served as a mentor in the NYFA Immigrant Artist Mentorship Program in 2018. Sarah has served as guest curator and juror for institutions including Penn State University (State College, PA), Scarab Club (Detroit, MI), The Terhune Gallery (Toledo, OH), and The Ann Arbor Art Center (Ann Arbor, MI). Sarah has shown her own work in New York, Seattle, Columbus & Toledo, OH, Covington, KY, and Detroit—including at the Detroit Institute of Arts—with solo shows at Simone De Sousa Gallery and Public Pool. She is primarily concerned with artist and viewer experiences of making and engaging with art, and conducts ongoing research into the state of contemporary art in redeveloping cities, with special focus and regard for Detroit.

CJS Noon Lecture | Rethinking Medieval Narratives Beyond the Canon--On Ordering the Past (November 11, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75677 75677-19560799@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Please note that this lecture will be held on a Wednesday, rather than our usual Thursday time-slot.

The received narrative of Japanese literary and historiographic development is one shaped by anachronistic, European-influenced notions of genre. Drawing on a broad set of medieval works both inside and outside of the canon, however, Erin Brightwell's Reflecting the Past argues that rather than hewing to the fixed, particular binaries of Chinese/Japanese or Tale/Chronicle that came to shape said narrative, medieval thinkers who sought to order the past relied on shared intellectual commitments expressed in ways that move across and between modern linguistic or disciplinary categories: narrative setting and structure, language selection, and cosmological principles. Please join us for a conversation facilitated by Takeshi Watanabe, author of Flowering Tales: Women Exorcising History in Heian Japan (Harvard University Asia Center, 2020), about the strategies used by medieval authors to render unprecedented historical change sensible.

Erin Brightwell is Assistant Professor of Pre-modern Japanese Literature. She holds an MA in Chinese (University of Washington, Seattle) and a PhD in Classical Japanese Literature (Princeton University). In addition to Reflecting the Past: Place Language and Principle in Japan's Medieval Mirror Genre (Harvard University Asia Center, 2020), her latest publications include the translation of Wang Changxiong's 1943 novella "Honryū" (The Torrent) in The Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus (permanent link: https://apjjf.org/2018/01/O.html) and a forthcoming article in Journal of Japanese Studies titled "Making Meaning: Lexical Glosses as Interpretive Interventions in the Kakaishō."

Organized By: Out In Public FSPP

Out in Public welcomes DeLesslin George-Warren (he/they) for an incredibly short survey of how colonial governments have attempted to restructure systems of kinship in Indigenous communities through the creation and enforcement of binary gender, enforcement of gendered property inheritance, and punishment of family structures that lie outside the 'Atomic American Family'.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

About the Artist
Sarah Rose Sharp is a Detroit-based writer, activist, photographer, and multimedia artist. She writes about art and culture for Art in America, Hyperallergic, Flash Art, Sculpture Magazine, ArtSlant, and others. Sarah was named a 2015 Kresge Literary Arts Fellow for Art Criticism and is a 2018 recipient of the Rabkin Foundation Prize. She is a guest lecturer at several universities in Southeast Michigan and served as a mentor in the NYFA Immigrant Artist Mentorship Program in 2018. Sarah has served as guest curator and juror for institutions including Penn State University (State College, PA), Scarab Club (Detroit, MI), The Terhune Gallery (Toledo, OH), and The Ann Arbor Art Center (Ann Arbor, MI). Sarah has shown her own work in New York, Seattle, Columbus & Toledo, OH, Covington, KY, and Detroit—including at the Detroit Institute of Arts—with solo shows at Simone De Sousa Gallery and Public Pool. She is primarily concerned with artist and viewer experiences of making and engaging with art, and conducts ongoing research into the state of contemporary art in redeveloping cities, with special focus and regard for Detroit.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED: http://myumi.ch/v2Z2Q

The *Radical History Review* Issue 138, “Fascism and Anti-fascism Since 1945” is currently open access (until January 2021) and available to read on the Duke University Press website. (https://read.dukeupress.edu/radical-history-review/issue/2020/138)

Presenters: Co-editors Jessica Namakkal (Duke), Mark Bray (Rutgers), Eric Roubinek (UNC Asheville) and Giulia Riccò (University of Michigan)

Respondents: Federico Finchelstein (The New School); Victoria de Grazia (Columbia University)

Contributors to this special issue of *Radical History Review* study histories of fascism and antifascism after 1945 to show how fascist ideology continues to circulate and be opposed transnationally despite its supposed death at the end of World War II.

The essays cover the use of fascism in the 1970s construction of the Latinx Left, the connection between antifascism and anti-imperialism in 1960s Italian Communist internationalism, post-dictatorship Argentina and the transhistorical alliance between Las Madres and travestí activism, cultures of antifascism in contemporary Japan, and the British radical right's attempted alliance with Qathafi's Libya. The issue also includes a discussion about teaching fascism through fiction in the age of Trump, a reflection on the practices of archiving and displaying antifascist objects to various publics, and reviews of recent works on antifascism, punk music, and the Rock Against Racism movement. Please RSVP for the Zoom link and password (RSVP link can be found below). This event is sponsored by the Democracy and Debate Theme Semester.

TITLE: Recent Developments in Modeling the Origin of Near-Earth Plasma

ABSTRACT: The origin of near-Earth plasma has been a topic of intense scientific study since the beginning of the space age. Earth's magnetosphere, the magnetic cavity carved out of the solar wind by the planet's intrinsic magnetic field, is populated by two sources. One source is the solar wind, the tenuous plasma comprised primarily of protons that is constantly blowing outward from the sun. The second source is Earth itself, where plasma flows from the ionosphere to fill the magnetosphere with protons as well as heavier ion species. Plasma of ionospheric origin is implicated in a host of magnetospheric processes with impacts on various space weather impacts. This presentation will discuss recent advances in modeling ionospheric outflows of plasma and their impact on magnetospheric composition and dynamics. These advances apply an amalgam of fluid and kinetic techniques, adding new features and capabilities to models in the Space Weather Modeling Framework. These tools are then applied to study a number of interesting science problems. First, we will use numerical simulations to explore how energy inputs connect to ionospheric outflow for H+ and O+ and what controls the upper and lower bounds of the outflow. These results help to explore the causal physical connections underlying widely used empirical results. We will then look at the coupled space environment during a geomagnetic storm using a simulation that separates the different sources of near-Earth plasma. These simulations include separate fluids for solar wind and ionospheric protons, ionospheric oxygen, and the plasmasphere. Additionally, the model includes the effects of both a hot ring current and a cold plasmasphere population simultaneously.
A number of intriguing results are found in this study touching on the evolution of magnetospheric composition, hemispheric asymmetry of ionospheric outflow, and the system-wide impact caused by the arrival of the plasmaspheric plume at the dayside magnetopause.
Finally, the potential of new flight projects to address outstanding mysteries in this area will be discussed.

In his recently-published book, “Migration and Integration; The Case for Liberalism with Borders,” Professor Farer argues that any legal argument for a general right to enter is flimsy. But, he goes on to propose, by invoking two of the deep values on which treaty-based human rights rest, you can make a strong moral case for recognizing a human right to cross international borders in search of a better life (not merely to escape persecution). But the case is not conclusive because it is possible to invoke human rights norms to support the claim that a democratic electorate has the moral authority to decide who may enter the country and on what terms. How should people who imagine themselves as liberal resolve these competing claims? In Farer’s hierarchy of liberal values, the preservation of liberal democratic governments ranks at the top. Today the walls of liberal government are being breached by right-wing demagogues who have weaponized the migration issue. Farer’s premise is that liberals need to defend the walls by taking possession of the issue. They can do so only by conceding the electorate’s right to decide who and how many may enter and by demonstrating the will to enforce the electorate’s decisions. However, once they have demonstrated their rejection of open borders, they can appeal on moral as well as on the grounds of societal self-interest for a generous admissions policy and do so with the promise of electoral success.

Tom Farer, University Professor at the University of Denver, was dean of the Josef Korbel School of International Studies for 14 years, 1996-2010. He has served as President of the University of New Mexico, President of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, a principal organ of the OAS, and President of the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs.

He has been a senior fellow of the Carnegie Endowment, the Council on Foreign Relations (of which he is now a member) and the Smithsonian’s Wilson Center for International Scholars. He is on the editorial boards of the American Journal of International Law and the Human Rights Quarterly. He has consulted for Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. In the US Government he served as special assistant to the General Counsel of the Department of Defense and later as special assistant to the Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs. When Somalia still had a state, he served as assistant to the commanding general of the Somali National Police Force and taught both criminal law and karate to members of the force. In 1993 he served as legal advisor to the UN Peace Enforcement operation in Somalia and in 1994 served as an external reviewer of Uganda’s draft constitution.

He has published a dozen books and monographs and over 150 book chapters and articles which have appeared in journals including Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, the New York Review of Books, the London Review of Books, Newsweek, and the Harvard and Columbia Law Reviews. His penultimate book is "Confronting Global Terrorism and American Neo-Conservatism:The Framework of a Liberal Grand Strategy." He has just completed a book titled “Migration and Integration: The Case for Liberalism with Borders” which Cambridge University Press will publish in January 2020.

He is a graduate of Princeton and the Harvard Law School, both Magna cum Laude. At Harvard he was Notes Editor of the Law Review. He has taught law at Columbia, Rutgers, Tulane, Harvard and American University and foreign policy at Johns Hopkins School of International Studies, Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School, American University’s School of International Service and Cambridge University. He has been an Honorary Professor at Peking University and has an honorary doctorate from Panteion University in Athens, Greece.

What is Healing Justice?
According to Cara Page, Healing Justice is a framework that identifies how we can holistically respond to and intervene on generational trauma and violence and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our bodies, hearts and minds.

What is Cultural Organizing?

Cultural organizing places culture at the center of an organizing strategy. It can be done to unite people through the humanity of culture and the democracy of participation. This series explores the ways in which healing justice, creativity and arts enhance cultural organizing through a series of unique workshops led by Detroiters that are at the forefront of this movement. This type of creative organizing empowers communities to come together in celebration of culture while developing valuable skills that challenge power and oppression.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

About the Artist

CSAS | "Reading the Americanized Joothan: The Translator’s Cringe" Keynote Speech by Arun Mukhejee followed by "Engaging Anti-Caste Praxis Across Languages," a Three-day Workshop for Writers, Translators, Publishers, and their Readers (November 13, 2020 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/76259 76259-19679590@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 13, 2020 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

Arun Mukherjee's public keynote speech will be held Friday, November 13th at 9am (to coincide with Friday evening, Indian Standard Time.) In ‘Reading the Americanized Joothan: The Translator’s Cringe’ Mukherjee will compare the Samya press and the Columbia University Press editions of her translation of Omprakash Valmiki’s autobiography, Joothan. She will reflect on the changes which took place as the translation travelled from the Indian edition to the American edition, leading her to realize the importance of guarding the beauty of the text. The event co-organizers Shalmali Jadhav, Swarnim Khare and Christi Merrill are interested in asking what choices behind the scenes might lead to increasing openness when texts and cultural contexts displace us from our comfort zones as readers of anti-caste literatures.

This will be followed by three workshop sessions starting on November 13th and continuing on November 14th and 20th at 9am, in which authors, translators and publishers discuss pre-circulated published examples in English, Hindi, Marathi and Tamil with registered participants in order to demystify and make visible crucial choices in publishing translated work. Speakers include Ajay Navaria, Alok Mukherjee, Aniruddhan Vasudevan, Anita Bharti, Aruni Kashyap, Arun Mukherjee, G.N. Devy, Laura Brueck, Mandira Sen, Maya Pandit, Meena Kandasamy, Perumal Murugan, Sharankumar Limbale, Susan Harris and Urmila Pawar. ’Advanced registration is required.

Dr. Nancy Forde - Department of Physics, Simon Fraser University

*“Collagen: a fascinating responsive material building block from Nature”*

Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96009492561

Abstract: Multicellular life is scaffolded by structures that maintain cells in the desired locations and organizations. Conventionally these extracellular scaffolds have been viewed as rigid, unchanging supports laid down during development and unaltered except by injury or disease. Recent scientific advances are revealing instead that these matrices are highly dynamic and respond to changes in their local microenvironment, in turn affecting cells. The collagen family of proteins has been selected via evolution as the preferred building block of these extracellular structures.

In this talk, I will introduce some of the fascinating physical properties of the unique triple-helix structure of collagen, and will highlight the results of our investigations into its mechanical properties. Our single-molecule approaches include centrifuge force microscopy, optical tweezers and atomic force microscopy, and many parallels can be drawn with the mechanics of DNA. Our work is revealing clues as to how stability is encoded within collagen’s sequence, and how collagen’s triple helix balances structural stability with responsiveness to applied force and chemical environment.

CSEAS Lecture Series. Uprooting the Diasporic Histories of Southeast Asia (November 13, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76308 76308-19685535@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 13, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

Free event; please register in advance at: http://myumi.ch/mnbRl

What can diasporas teach us about the history of Southeast Asia as a region, dominated as it is by narratives of hospitality and receptiveness to other cultures and peoples? Remarkably, the Arab diaspora in Southeast Asia demarcated their own legal jurisdictions by anchoring their kinship obligations and commercial interests that they had developed over several centuries across the Indian Ocean. During the nineteenth century, links between homeland and destination faded into the background in the colonial period as the diasporic elite remade their lives in Southeast Asia often according to new colonial moulds. Indeed, the Arab diaspora deliberately chose to lean on bureaucratic infrastructure in their effort to construct new scales of responsibility, jurisdiction, and sovereignty. At the same time, colonial rulers yoked their identities outside of the region viewing them as hybrid, creole, mixed and sometimes even outright foreign, effectively uprooting their histories from the region. This lecture will look at emblems of diasporic lives in the form of legal sources to explore the relationship between indigenous Southeast Asians, diasporas and colonial authorities.

Nurfadzilah Yahaya is assistant professor of history at National University of Singapore. Prior to this, she was an Early Career Fellow in Islamic Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. Her book Fluid Jurisdictions: Colonial Law and Arabs in Southeast Asia is published by Cornell University Press (2020). Her articles have appeared in Law and History Review, Journal of Women’s History, Indonesia nad the Malay World and Muslim World.

Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

LEAD, Leading Equity And Diversity, is a series of conversations where attendees have the opportunity to hear from a diverse group of guests who lead and/or support DEI and social justice initiatives. This LEAD conversation will address how higher education administrators, faculty, and staff can work in collective action with student activists toward racial equity. In the midst of an unprecedented pandemic and highly-publicized uprisings against racism, there has been a significant upsurge in student activism advocating for a more inclusive and equitable environment. How can higher education professionals support this just cause and leverage the passion and experiences of student activists.
Access Real-Time Translation (CART) captioning services will be available.
