The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents Building Better Futures: Innovations in Equitable Development (February 22, 2019 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59374 59374-14734948@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 22, 2019 9:00am
Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Cities have made a remarkable comeback, however large swaths of their populations are being left behind. Developers, lenders, advocates, and policy makers work to mitigate these disparities by creating innovative solutions and opportunity through equitable development. Now more than ever, new approaches are required to make cities places where individuals and families can thrive. At the center of making this work are initiatives that put equity at their core and strive to find the right mix of public, private, nonprofit, and grassroots policies, investments, and strategies that serve the needs of all residents and workers.

In Building Better Futures: Innovations in Equitable Development, U-M Taubman College will convene experts at the forefront of designing, financing, developing and promoting better buildings, better outcomes and better futures for all across race, income, age, ability, household type and geography. This conference will examine the ground-breaking policy mechanisms, design innovations, and financial incentives that connect communities, build wealth, and create frameworks to promote equity across demographics. Join us as we investigate, define, and present solutions for social and equitable development to build better futures.

"Building Better Futures" is organized in partnership with University of Michigan Poverty Solutions, an initiative that combines the assets of the university toward the prevention and alleviation of poverty, with additional support from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.

Data Privacy and Portability in Financial Technology Symposium (February 23, 2019 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/58000 58000-14390313@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 23, 2019 8:30am
Location: South Hall
Organized By: Center on Finance, Law, and Policy

The Data Privacy and Portability in Financial Technology Symposium celebrates Michigan Technology Law Review’s 25th Anniversary by hosting an event dedicated to cutting edge scholarship at the intersection of technology and the law. Specifically, this symposium is designed to examine the inherent tensions between securing privacy rights and the ease at which transactions occur, facilitated by new innovative technologies.

Data portability is the idea that a consumer should own his or her own data and should be able to tell companies to use it, transfer it to another company, or destroy it. Every day, hundreds of millions of transactions occur between parties. Nearly everyone uses financial products that harvest data—credit cards, online shopping, stock market trends. New technologies allow people and organizations to record, analyze, and indefinitely store data points associated with these transactions more easily than ever before.

Many of those in the financial technology world assert that this aggregation of consumer data should be able to be sold to and owned by third parties. This would increase competition in the financial service sector and facilitate the development of more complex algorithms used to deliver financial services. Collecting information on consumer habits could lead to innovation in predicting market trends and could allow custom tailoring to individual consumer needs. Many banks, however, contend that opening up consumer information to third parties raises serious risks of fraud and abuse. Both sides of the debate advocate for the consumer’s interest: banks on the grounds of security and privacy, and the fintech sector on the grounds of access and innovation.

The symposium will address the legal issues implicated by the exciting and rapidly developing world of financial technology, such as: Who owns a customer’s financial data? How will the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) influence how companies handle customer data? How can U.S. policymakers construct a sensible policy framework suited to the particular regulatory and technical attributes of the U.S. consumer financial services sector? And how should we conceive of increased liability for companies and what does that mean for organizations’ relationships with consumers, stockholders, lenders and the like?

The Big Data Summer Institute is a six-week interdisciplinary training and research program in biostatistics that introduces undergraduate students to the intersection of big data and human health — a rapidly growing field that uses quantitative analysis to help solve scientific problems and improve people’s lives. Drawing from the expertise and experience of outstanding faculty of several departments at the University of Michigan — biostatistics, statistics, and electrical engineering and computer science — the institute exposes undergraduate students to diverse experiences and techniques that distinguishes it from any other undergraduate summer program in biostatistics in the country.

The Big Data Summer Institute is hosted by the University of Michigan School of Public Health. All coursework takes place at the school, on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Organized By: Jewish Communal Leadership Program

The Jewish Communal Leadership Program at the University of Michigan School of Social Work and the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies, working in partnership with the Jewish Women’s Archive, present Jewish Feminisms/American Visions: Perspectives from Fifty Years of Activism. This historic event brings together 36 pioneering and contemporary feminist activists, leaders, and thinkers to consider the role of Jewish identity in the framing and development of second wave American feminism. Building on the interpretations offered by historian Joyce Antler in her recent book, "Jewish Radical Feminism: Voices from the Women's Liberation Movement", activists from the 1960s through today will reexamine the contexts, experiences, and identities that went into creating American feminism and its impact on Jewish culture, politics, and religion.

The Jewish Communal Leadership Program at the University of Michigan School of Social Work and the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies, working in partnership with the Jewish Women’s Archive, present Jewish Feminisms/American Visions: Perspectives from Fifty Years of Activism. This historic event brings together 36 pioneering and contemporary feminist activists, leaders, and thinkers to consider the role of Jewish identity in the framing and development of second wave American feminism. Building on the interpretations offered by historian Joyce Antler in her recent book, "Jewish Radical Feminism: Voices from the Women's Liberation Movement", activists from the 1960s through today will reexamine the contexts, experiences, and identities that went into creating American feminism and its impact on Jewish culture, politics, and religion.

Cartographies of Silence: A Conference for Readers and Writers
23rd Annual CLIFF Conference
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
March 15-16, 2019
Keynote Speaker: Professor Irena Klepfisz

It was an old theme even for me:Language cannot do everything– -- Adrienne Rich, “Cartographies of Silence”

Silence is not an absence, but is charged with meaning and action. To speak of silence means to speak of a multitude of paradoxes, as well as to enter an exciting avenue for literature, activism and interdisciplinary scholarship. Our conference interrogates what it means to plumb silences in the archive in search of unheard voices, and invites scholars to investigate the meanings of silence as a critical category. In particular, this conference is interested in mapping – across scholarly and creative disciplines – questions of translating silences in the archive, in the text, in the subject, and in activism. What are the possible ways of translating silence when events and experiences resist such translation? What challenges and possibilities does silence offer translators and scholars, who are tasked with making meaning of both the enunciated and the unsaid or untranslatable? How can we engage with knowledge that does not yield itself to current academic frameworks? In what ways can a focus on silence help to transform knowledge itself?

Professor Irena Klepfisz received her doctorate from the University of Chicago in Victorian literature, and later did post-doctoral work in Yiddish at YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. In addition to teaching in numerous universities around the country, Klepfisz taught for ten years in the college program at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, a women’s maximum security prison. Last year, she retired after 22 years of teaching Jewish Women's Studies at Barnard College. Klepfisz immigrated to the U.S. at age 8 and was raised among Yiddish-speaking, Jewish Labor Bundist (socialist) Holocaust survivors in the Bronx, where she attended public schools, a Yiddish shule, and mitlshul. She was an activist during the Second Wave, particularly in the lesbian/feminist movement, and addressed issues of anti-Semitism, Israeli/Palestinian peace, Jewish identity, and veltlekhe yidishkayt/secular Yiddish culture.

Klepfisz’s extensive publishing and performance record includes founding and co-editing Conditions magazine, serving as the Yiddish editor of the Jewish feminist Bridges, contributing to Nice Jewish Girls: A Lesbian Anthology, and co-editing The Tribe of Dina: A Jewish Women’s Anthology. She authored two performance pieces commissioned by the Jewish Museum (NY): Bread and Candy: Songs of the Holocaust and Zeyre eygene verter: In their own words (Yiddish women writers). She is the author of A Few Words in the Mother Tongue (poems) and Dreams of an Insomniac (essays), and most recently co-edited The Stars Bear Witness: The Jewish Labor Bund 1897-2017 and Koved zeyer ondenk: Honor to Their Memory (for the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising).

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: RIW: Risk, Lending, & the Future of Debtor Urbanization

Fixed Interest centers debt as a determinant of contemporary urbanization. We have assembled graduate students and leading scholars to explore the constellation of borrowing and lending and its expression in a variety of geographies, fields of practice, technologies, institutions, labor, and political ideologies. These presentations and discussions will interrogate the fringes and the FIREs (finance, insurance, and real estate) of debtor urbanization. This scholarship examines the relationship between debt and urban and neighborhood decline (in growing and shrinking cities).

Fixed Interest will include three graduate student papers and two lectures by path-breaking UM scholars relating debt to forms of urban and institutional power. Dr Rachel Weber, Professor of Urban Planning & Policy at the University of Illinois at Chicago, will provide the closing lecture on value, property, and urban development.

Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

We are pleased to announce this year's Early Career Scientist Symposium, to be held on Saturday, March 16, 2019, in the Biological Sciences Building on the campus of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. This location is the new building that houses the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology; the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology; the Museum of Paleontology; as well as the Natural History Museum.

This year’s theme is Stable Isotopes in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation. Stable isotopes of common and trace elements have a wide range of applications in modern and ancient ecosystems. They offer important tools for investigating plant and animal physiology, dietary ecology, life history, food-web analysis, nutrient cycling, migration, and paleoecology, with new isotope systems, new approaches, and new kinds of questions emerging in every decade. Our speakers in the 2019 symposium have expertise in terrestrial and marine systems, modern and ancient ecosystems, and animals, plants, and microbes. The symposium will feature topics for a broad range of interests in ecology, evolution, earth history, and conservation.

We are pleased to announce our lineup of speakers, including our keynote speakers: Jim Ehleringer (plant physiology and ecology), University of Utah, and Tamsin O’Connell (diet and climate in humans and animals), Cambridge University. You can read more about all of the speakers under the speaker tab on the ECSS website.

Graduate and undergraduate students and postdocs from all universities and disciplines are invited to present their work during a lunchtime poster session, and can indicate so when they register. University of Michigan students from EEB and Paleo are particularly encouraged to show their own work and seek feedback from the scholars in attendance. Read about poster specifications on the website.

In 2012 the first 4K resolution screen became available on the commercial market at the common 30” desktop size, making it possible for a user with 20/20 vision seated 24” away from a computer screen to be confronted with the same amount of visual information as could be experienced in the surrounding environment. This development brought verisimilitude to another realm that has gradually emerged for decades, the constitution of the digital sphere as a kind of environment itself. Today, we live inside the digital. Increasingly, our public and private lives are conducted online and in digital space where our relationships are forged, nurtured, or deleted, where our bills are paid and finances tracked, and where our ideologies are fed and our politics balkanized by our respective media bubbles. And while the digital now constitutes more and more of our daily routines, it can also offer a distorting abstraction of “external life.” Swiping left is easier than breaking up, and even the most civil among us can become an entitled consumer on Yelp. At once, our digital environments offer new grounds for engagement and interaction, and immersive venues for escape from the exigencies of the outside world. This session will discuss this dialectic. Drawing contributors from across art, architecture, design, and media studies, we will examine the digital as both a totalizing environment unto itself – a bubble apart from the external lifeworld – and a new venue for social organization and engagement.

How were traditional claims enhanced or altered by the decline in Jewish-Christian relations in the Christian kingdoms of Iberia in the later Middle Ages and by the eventual expulsion of the Sephardim, first from the Spanish kingdoms in 1492 and then from Portugal in 1496? “Sephardic Identities: Medieval and Early Modern” looks at Sephardic myths of identity from a diachronic perspective, bringing together papers both on the origins of Sephardic exceptionalism within medieval Sephardic communities themselves and on the evolution of such notions under pressure from forced conversion and inquisition, expulsion and diaspora, and ghettoization and emancipation.

Critical Visualities 3 (March 28, 2019 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/60584 60584-14910398@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2019 9:30am
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

The Visual Culture Workshop (VCW) convenes the third annual Critical Visualities Conference in order to ask the timely questions: “What are the political dimensions of the affective charge between art and its audience? Between the critic and the art she engages? How does it feel to look ‘critically’ now?”

Now in its third year, Critical Visualities has grown into a major national conference, drawing top faculty from across the country in the fields of American studies, African American studies, visual culture studies, performance studies, media studies, and literary studies. Designed to offer the University of Michigan community an unparalleled opportunity to engage with these scholars in an unusually intimate setting, Critical Visualities incites new insights, new questions, and new collaborations for presenters and audience members alike.

As always, Critical Visualities is particularly attune to the ways in which our interdisciplinary work enables us to engage with current events marked by feelings of shock and urgency about ongoing racial injustice and gendered violence.

Speakers include: Sarah Bay-Cheng (Bowdoin); Kimberly Juanita Brown (Mt. Holyoke); Zahid Chaudhry (Princeton); Laurie Gries (University of Colorado); Nicole Fleetwood (Rutgers); and UM's Sara Blair (English), Vera Grant (Deputy Director, Curatorial Affairs, UMMA), Joan Kee (History of Art), and Lisa Nakamura (American Culture).

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Michigan China Forum

China has experienced significant economic growth in the past few decades but with that has come a reputation for dangerous levels of pollution. Transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy has been the key to economic growth and energy security in China.

Despite nearly mature solar, wind and hydropower technologies, how to better put such technologies into the wider market is becoming a problem we need to solve in the future. Improving battery efficiency of electric vehicles, expanding charging infrastructure, and introducing supportive benefits and policies for electric vehicles will be the key to reducing air pollution and making transportation and cities cleaner. The cap-and-trade regime is featured with its market-based regulation and economic incentives, giving each regulated company a limited permission of GHG emission and allowing trade of permission between companies. However, a deeper and more comprehensive look into cap-and-trade system is needed to help mitigate climate change.

Several panelists from various backgrounds are invited to talk about renewable energy, electric vehicles and carbon trade system, both in China and across the world. Anyone is welcome to environment panel, Michigan China Forum 2019! Please RSVP for free at:

This international conference examines the critical role of media in the making and remaking of Ming-Qing literature. Invited scholars will bring to light the supports and surfaces that shaped sensory experiences of the “literary.” Some panels will trace the lives of literary works from the oral to the analog to the digital; others will consider how early modern readers understood what we now call “media.” Over the course of two days, the conference proceeds from the early modern moment to rethink 21st-century understandings of “new” media.

Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

It is time for science and technology studies (STS). The meaning of the past and threats to the future are hotly contested. Scientists simultaneously proclaim epochal ruptures and extrapolate present trends into the next millennium. New technologies promise to help us “be present” even as they stretch our attentions to the breaking point. The nature of time is of central importance to modern intellectual, cultural, and political life, and STS is well-positioned to address how divergent temporalities structure our public and private lives, environmental imaginaries, and embodied experiences. Recent work on the sciences of prediction and forecasting, the vital politics of science fiction, and the Anthropocene suggest some of the many ways scholars of STS can and should intervene in broader debates that trouble the present moment.

Panels: Experiencing Time, Embodying Time; Apocalyse Now?; Scholarship NOW; Is Ancient Science Studies an Anachronism?

This international conference examines the critical role of media in the making and remaking of Ming-Qing literature. Invited scholars will bring to light the supports and surfaces that shaped sensory experiences of the “literary.” Some panels will trace the lives of literary works from the oral to the analog to the digital; others will consider how early modern readers understood what we now call “media.” Over the course of two days, the conference proceeds from the early modern moment to rethink 21st-century understandings of “new” media.

Everyone thinks they know what digital means. So pervasive are digital technologies in the 21st century that it is difficult to find critical distance from this immersive new world of ubiquitous connectivity, social media feeds, smartphones, mobile apps, responsive design, algorithmic recommendation systems, and voice-controlled home shopping assistants. While the question “what is the digital?” is compelling, the more pressing question might be instead: what does it mean to be alive in the digital age?

Across campus, this question will emerge in courses, colloquia, lectures, and informal conversations among students, faculty, staff, and peers. Critically engaging with the big issues, urgent consequences, and radical possibilities for grappling with the meaning of life in this era of digital ubiquity. Whether defined as “animated corporeal existence,” “vitality,” or “to continue, to remain,” we see a profound opportunity to approach the digital world through a spectrum of the meaning of life-ness - alive, liveness, animated, lifelike, life-adjacent, consciousness, awareness, attention, awoke.

“Living a Digital Life” is the 2019 Michigan Meeting.

The Human Rights Crisis in Xinjiang (April 18, 2019 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62851 62851-15483797@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 18, 2019 5:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Weiser Diplomacy Center

Conference hosted by the Weiser Diplomacy Center.

Over the past five years, a growing number of Xinjiang Uighurs have been sent to re-education camps by the Chinese government, most without trials or release dates. Estimates have reached as high as one million detainees. The Chinese government has framed these camps as schools that attack terrorist beliefs and give Uighurs the work and life skills necessary to thrive in a modern economy. It has received very little pressure or public condemnation from its Central Asian neighbors, from Muslim countries, or from its trading partners in the developed world. This human rights crisis raises questions central to the role and practice of diplomacy. What justification is there for bringing foreign diplomatic pressure to bear on issues that a country defines as central to its identity and existence? What do we know about the success of different types of advocacy, whether through diplomatic channels, pressure from international organizations, or NGO-led protest? To what extent does the crisis in Xinjiang affect the stability of Central Asia, or the fate of separatist movements in Tibet, Hong Kong, and Taiwan?

Participating speakers:
Tim Grose (Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology )
Nury Turkel (Uighur Human Rights Project)
Sean Roberts (George Washington University)
Ann Lin (University of Michigan) as moderator

Protein-protein interactions among Bcl-2 family proteins regulate apoptosis. Anti-apoptotic members of the family, including Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bcl-w, Mcl-1, and Bfl-1, sequester pro-apoptotic family members by binding tightly to an amphipathic alpha helix within them, blocking pro-death functions. Through this mechanism, overexpression of the anti-apoptotic proteins is implicated in oncogenesis and resistance to chemotherapy. Tight-binding and selective inhibitors of Bcl-2 family proteins can be used to diagnose the Bcl-2 dependencies of cancer cells and may be developed as therapeutics. The challenge of designing peptides that function as high-affinity and selective inhibitors of specific Bcl-2 family proteins poses a fundamental, challenging problem in protein engineering and a good opportunity to study principles of protein-peptide recognition. I will describe features of Bcl-2 family protein interactions and discuss approaches we have developed that integrate computational structure-based modeling with high-throughput screening to generate peptide-based inhibitors.

Classical Receptions Colloquium: Graduate student presentations on "Approaches to Classical Reception Studies" (April 26, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/61338 61338-15088100@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 26, 2019 10:00am

Organized By: Contexts for Classics

Joshua Billings studied Classics, German, and Comparative Literature at Harvard and Oxford. Before arriving at Princeton in 2015, he held a research fellowship at Cambridge, and taught at Yale for three years.

His research focuses on ancient Greek literature and philosophy and modern intellectual history, with a particular concentration on tragedy. After a first book on modern conceptions of tragedy and the tragic (Genealogy of the Tragic: Greek Tragedy and German Philosophy, Princeton 2014), he is now working on fifth-century (BCE) drama and intellectual culture. The project is provisionally entitled “Enlightenment on Stage” and it focuses on drama’s presentation of mythical figures as a reflection of the so-called “Attic Enlightenment.” Dramatic and (broadly) philosophical texts alike, he argues, use the stories of myth to explore common conceptual issues; unfolding this entails a method that recognizes the distinctive significance that myth has for thought in fifth-century culture.

21st Century students come to college with widely varying academic skills and motivation levels. Most students expend very little energy attempting to learn and rely on memorizing information just before examinations. This interactive workshop will help attendees understand why many students expend very little energy on learning and have difficulty achieving student learning outcomes. Cognitive science research based methods that can be used to facilitate conceptual, transferable learning will be discussed. The session will present specific learning strategies that have resulted in significant increases in student effort and improvement in student learning in undergraduate, graduate, and professional school environments.

About the Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Saundra McGuire is the Director Emerita of the Center for Academic Success and Retired Professor of Chemistry at Louisiana State University. She is an internationally renowned expert in the area of learning support and is the author of Teach Students How to Learn and Teach Yourself How to Learn.

The symposium will feature keynote addresses from U-M President Mark Schlissel, Wendy Jackson of the Kresge Foundation, and other dynamic leaders; lightning talks highlighting U-M's innovative and collaborative work in Detroit; inspiring community spotlights; and interactive Detroit engagement exhibits.

Breakout sessions will enable deep dives and dialogue on issues important to Detroit:

Re-envisioning Justice
This panel will explore how, through collaborative and grassroots efforts, U-M researchers and community partners are attempting to alter the landscape of the carceral system in Detroit.

Future of Mobility in Detroit
Prosperity and development depend critically on mobility across the 140 square mile expanse of Detroit, and beyond. This session will discuss ongoing as well as new and developing ideas for mobility solutions in the greater Detroit area.

Leaders Engineering Change: Building a Cradle-to-Career Education System in Detroit
This session will explore how the U-M School of Education, Detroit Public Schools Community District, the Kresge Foundation, Starfish Family Services, and Marygrove College are developing a radically different approach to education in northwest Detroit.

Living a Digital Life: Objects, Environments, Power (May 9, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63180 63180-15585201@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, May 9, 2019 10:00am
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

Everyone thinks they know what digital means. So pervasive are digital technologies in the 21st century that it is difficult to find critical distance from this immersive new world of ubiquitous connectivity, social media feeds, smartphones, mobile apps, responsive design, algorithmic recommendation systems, and voice-controlled home shopping assistants. While the question “what is the digital?” is compelling, the more pressing question might be instead: what does it mean to be alive in the digital age?

Across campus, this question will emerge in courses, colloquia, lectures, and informal conversations among students, faculty, staff, and peers. Critically engaging with the big issues, urgent consequences, and radical possibilities for grappling with the meaning of life in this era of digital ubiquity. Whether defined as “animated corporeal existence,” “vitality,” or “to continue, to remain,” we see a profound opportunity to approach the digital world through a spectrum of the meaning of life-ness - alive, liveness, animated, lifelike, life-adjacent, consciousness, awareness, attention, awoke.

“Living a Digital Life” is the 2019 Michigan Meeting.

As the Reiwa Era begins, new opportunities and challenges abound in the global economy. The Heisei Era opened at the height of Japan's bubble economy and the US-Japan trade war, followed by the IT bubble in the US and the lost decades in Japan, and then the global financial crisis and Abenomics. What awaits the Japanese, US, and global economies in the Reiwa Era? What types of financial governance mechanisms are needed to foster economic stability and growth? In this Michigan in Tokyo event, two leading experts on financial governance, Dr. Eisuke Sakakibara - a UM alum and former Vice-Minister of Finance for International Affairs, also known as "Mr. Yen" - and Dean Michael S. Barr - Dean of the UM Ford School and a prime architect of the Dodd-Frank Act in the Obama administration - will discuss current trends and prospects in US-Japan economic relations and world financial markets. Moderated by Mr. Akinori Horii - a former Assistant Governor of the Bank of Japan -, they will review areas of promise and vulnerability and discuss policy paths forward in Tokyo, Washington, and elsewhere.

令和元年となる本年、国際経済は新たな挑戦と可能性に向き合うことになる。平成元年は日本のバブル経済の頂点であり、日米貿易摩擦のピークでもあった。平成の経済はその後、アメリカでのITバブルと日本での失われた20年、さらにリーマンショックとアベノミクスを経験する。令和の時代の日本、アメリカ、そして国際経済はどのように展開するのであろうか。新時代に経済的安定と成長を担保するためには、どのようなファイナンシャル・ガバナンスの仕組みが必要なのか。今年のMichigan in Tokyo シンポジウムでは、ミシガン大学卒業生で大蔵省財務官を務め、「ミスター円」と呼ばれた榊原英資教授と、ミシガン大学フォード公共政策大学院長で、オバマ政権内でドッド・フランク法の起草者でもあったマイケル・S・バー教授、という日米を代表する二人のファイナンシャル・ガバナンスの専門家に、日米の経済関係及び国際経済の最新のトレンドと将来の予測についてお話しいただきます。日本銀行理事を務められた堀井昭成氏をモデレーターにお迎えし、成長の期待される分野及び注意が必要な問題について、また東京、ワシントン、及びその他の世界の金融拠点で、どのような政策展開が必要になってくるかについてじっくり語り合っていただきます。

The origin of structure in the proton still evades a detailed description by first-principles calculations. Instead, the structure is extracted from global fits to its data. In proton-proton collisions, the current extraction procedure relies on our ability to independently describe each proton. It has been predicted, however, that correlations between two protons prohibit an independent description of each proton in certain scattering processes. These correlations may provide a powerful source of insight into the origin of collective structures in strongly-bound few-body systems. In this talk, I will explain how to probe these correlations and present measurements by the PHENIX experiment at Brookhaven National Lab in Long Island, New York. Measurements are also planned by the LHCb experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.

Weyl semimetals lie at the intersection of strongly correlated materials and materials with nontrivial spin-orbit coupling. These topological materials have attracted a lot of interest in the last several years because of their wide variety of novel properties and resulting potential applications. In this talk, I will begin by presenting a brief overview of the unique band structure and topology of these materials. Then I will go on to examine a couple of their nonlinear optical properties and highlight past and proposed experiments to further explore this novel state of matter.

Many physicists see biology as very complex and messy, and often it is. Certain problems in biology, though, serve as an elegant playground for physicists to develop quantitative AND predictive models. For example, problems in biology in which cells generate forces to perform some function allow physicists to make ourselves useful to biologists, our collaborators. In this talk, I will take you on a journey from the retinae of juvenile zebrafish to the outer tissue layer of developing mammalian embryos. In juvenile zebrafish, the cone photoreceptors in retinae form a precise crystalline lattice based on subtype (i.e., sensitivity to different wavelengths of light). We find that the defects in this lattice form lines, called grain boundaries, as the pattern forms, not by subsequent defect motion. Based on this observation, we propose a model in which cells of fixed fate (i.e., subtype) contact their neighbors of the same subtype, generating active forces for building the crystal. From there, I will take you to an example in which cell fate is not fixed. In this stem cell culture system, without any imposed chemical gradients and in the absence of many known endogenous gradients, cells of initially unspecified fate differentiate into two types, with one type localized to a ring at the boundary. We propose a model for this system in which mechanical stress biases fate and fate determines contractility. The role of cell-cell contacts and mechanics in pattern formation in developing tissues remains poorly understood. Luckily for us physicists, these problems provide endless intellectual stimulation.

Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) have become a widely-appreciated tool to measure the correlation build-up in space and time, and hence quantitatively characterize information scrambling in interacting many-body systems. Started off as a theoretical tool to understand quantum information in a black hole its impact quickly expanded to a wide variety of subjects including quantum chaos, many-body localization, quantum integrability and recently symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions. After giving a short introduction to information scrambling and out-of-time-order correlators, I will talk about the emergent relation between symmetry breaking quantum phase transitions and the information scrambling. I will introduce a new theoretical tool to study the physics encoded in an OTOC: dynamical decomposition method. I will show how this tool lets us analytically see the reasons and the mechanism of dynamical detection of symmetry-broken quantum phases via OTOCs. Based on the studies in literature and our numerical results in XXZ-model, our method seems to be universal in explaining the reasoning behind the relation between scrambling and the quantum criticality. If time permits, I will talk about an interesting numerical observation that led us to find a relation between the topological order (in 1D superconductor) at zero temperature and the OTOCs at infinite temperature.

Despite its postulation in the 1930s and discovery in the 1950s, very little is known about the neutrino, a neutral fundamental particle with thousands of times less mass than the electron that can potentially answer some of the biggest questions in physics. MicroBooNE, an 85-active-ton Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) experiment located at Fermilab in Batavia, IL, seeks to answer one such question: whether more than three types of neutrinos exist. Additionally, MicroBooNE is a means to study neutrino-argon scattering and perform R&D for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), a large-scale LArTPC set to take data in the mid-2020s. In this talk, I will give a brief overview of neutrinos before describing MicroBooNE and its public physics results to date.

Photosynthesis is a vital process that forms the basis of most life and energy sources on the planet. The knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of charge and energy transfer involved in this process can be used to develop artificial light-harvesting systems and biofuels, helping us to meet our own energy needs. In this talk, I will discuss how we use fluorescence-detection-based two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (F-2DES) to study the energy transfer in light-harvesting (LH2, in particular) complexes present in photosynthetic purple bacteria. Due to long acquisition times, photobleaching effects during the 2D measurements can distort the features of the acquired spectra. Motivated by the desire to reduce these effects without sacrificing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), we have adapted a rapid-scanning approach to record the linear spectra of the complexes in question. I will discuss the technique and results from the same. Extending this rapid-scanning technique to F-2DES promises reduced acquisition times and improved SNR for the 2D spectra.

Electron spin has great potential for use in electronic device applications. To that end, our research group focuses on using optical pump-probe techniques to study electron spin dynamics in semiconductor materials. My current project began with an observation of an unexpected dependence of electron spin polarization in gallium arsenide on external magnetic field history. In this talk, I will recount this mystery and how we have set out to solve it. Join me as we search for clues and interrogate the prime suspect, dynamic nuclear polarization. Along the way, I will introduce the key concepts vital to understanding our experiments. Together, we will unravel the mystery of an unexpected spin phenomenon in gallium arsenide as I present a tale of intrigue and spin dynamics.

The Higgs Boson is a newly introduced cuisine in the world of particle physics. We can now recognize it on the menu card of the Standard Model, but the details of its production, decay, and interactions are not yet precisely understood. I'll discuss the various recipes for creating a Higgs Boson with the Large Hadron Collider, and how these different methods affect the flavors we detect within the ATLAS detector. I'll also explore how refining our palette for Higgs Bosons can impact our broader understanding of fundamental physics.

Physics Graduate Student Symposium | High Performance Micro-Sensors for Navigation-Grade MEMS Gyroscope (August 15, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65037 65037-16507308@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, August 15, 2019 12:00pm

GPS navigation is commonly used in many applications including defense, autonomous vehicles, and robotics. However, absolute dependence on GPS is unreliable due to its limited reachability and susceptibility to interference. For example, a jammer or even a simple and cheap device can be used to spoof GPS signal. As a result, for navigation of high-end vehicles like that of defense and military, one can’t rely entirely on GPS. To make navigation more secure and reliable, inertial sensors are used for navigation when GPS signal is unavailable. Inertial sensors consist of primarily three accelerometers and three gyroscopes in the three perpendicular axes to measure acceleration (or velocity or position) or rate (or angle) of rotation respectively for navigation. Gyroscopes are used to measure the rotation rate and angle of rotation with high precision. Commercial gyroscopes which are used in commercial flights as well as space missions are very precise in their measurement. However, their large sizes, high costs and power requirements limit their use in many applications.

MEMS or Microelectromechanical systems consists of a range of mechanical structures which can be used for various applications. They have an inherent advantage of low cost (C), weight (W), size (S) and power (P) or low CWSaP. They, however, are limited in performance due to large noise. This is a major hurdle which has been limiting the entry of MEMS inertial sensors in navigation-grade performance applications. Our research is focused on bridging this gap and making an ultra-low noise MEMS gyroscope using the microfabrication technologies.

In this talk, I will talk about the design and fabrication of miniaturized 3D shell resonators for gyroscopes. These resonators have exhibited quality factor as high as 10 million leading to very low noise gyroscope at their small size. The achieved performance matrices would enable the use of MEMS sensors as a navigation-grade gyroscope at a cost lower by several orders of magnitude than the existing commercial gyroscopes. Only this would enable each one of us to own a self-driving car and autonomous robots at our homes!

Physics Graduate Student Symposium (PGSS) | Miniaturized Frequency Combs Enable Advanced Spectroscopies to Leave the Lab and (Maybe) Enter Orbit (August 22, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65404 65404-16595537@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, August 22, 2019 12:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department Colloquia

Frequency Combs, or pulsed lasers which are capable of emitting many narrow and closely spaced spectral lines (teeth) with fixed phase relationships between adjacent teeth, are an essential tool in precision metrology and spectroscopy. Their usefulness comes from the fact that their entire spectrum can be controlled by just adjusting the time between pulses and the pulse-to-pulse phase slip of their electric field. This means that, using relatively simple control schemes, frequency combs enable the most precise measurements of time and frequency possible, among a plethora of other applications. Typically, however, these light sources are roughly the size of a kitchen table and require the high stability of a lab environment to maintain the controllability of their output. Miniaturized combs exist, in the form of microscopic ring resonators, but these light sources are not very tunable, typically require large and powerful pump lasers to operate, and are expensive to manufacture. These drawbacks are all showstoppers when it comes to allowing frequency comb enabled precision measurement and spectroscopy to leave the lab. We have demonstrated a new, extremely cheap, simple, and low power laser diode-based frequency comb which is roughly the size of a grain of rice. This laser can be battery powered, and its spectrum is highly controllable, making it an ideal light source to allow advanced precision measurement and spectroscopy to leave the lab. In my talk, I will give a brief overview of frequency comb-based measurements, demonstrate the stability and tunability of our new sources, and outline their prospect for future ground- and space-based applications.

Cultural Formations of the "Alt-Right" (September 12, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63430 63430-15694217@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 12, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Department of American Culture

Please also see link to the final section of the conference, Queer(y)ing the “Alt-Right” on YouTube: https://events.umich.edu/event/65936

Over the past decade, the “alt-right” has moved from what one scholar called the “lunatic fringe” to the centers of power, and helped to infuse an unprecedented level of racism, misogyny, and bigotry into politics, culture, and discourse. Understanding the rise and consolidation of the “alt-right” requires interdisciplinary lenses, from fields such as cultural studies, media studies, feminist studies, and history, and attentiveness to the international rise of populism and ultranationalism.

Austerity and Anti-Austerity Beyond Capitalism (September 13, 2019 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/64088 64088-16121305@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 13, 2019 9:30am
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Department of History

During the global economic crisis of 2008 many observers predicted that austerity economics would be discredited and abandoned, but over the ensuing decade it demonstrated surprising resilience. This conference will explore the history of opposition to austerity, both retrieving overlooked forms of resistance and using those conflicts to better understand the nature of austerity itself. Over the past decade there has been a wave of path-breaking scholarship revealing the commonalities that linked capitalist and socialist economies across what has been traditionally called First, Second, and Third Worlds. That austerity doctrines themselves can emerge outside the well-studied context of neoliberalism, however, has received limited scholarly attention. We thus seek to create a new foundation to engage austerity more broadly beyond its neoliberal connotations. Our collaborative effort brings together expertise from various fields in the Humanities and Social Sciences and seeks to expand on this burgeoning reappraisal of economic systems. Increasingly, we are coming to realize that capitalism and socialism shared a great many features in these regions—including the foundational assumptions that drive doctrines of austerity. Along these lines, this conference will emphasize how austerity and anti-austerity clashed both within and beyond liberal capitalism, and thus seek to better integrate the temporal and ideological binaries of political economy: pre-industrial and industrial, capitalist and socialist, communist and post-communist, developed and underdeveloped, colonial and post-colonial. In particular, this will involve discussion of how a politics of anti-austerity was both imagined and articulated in opposition to a variety of austerity programs around the world. Forging a conversation across various regions, we will investigate the potential of anti-austerity movements to topple governments, collapse political orders, and to affect other forms of change in society, both in direct and visible ways as well as through protracted and less obvious struggles. This will also incorporate the failed attempts and arrested possibilities to displace austerity as a dominant socioeconomic formation.

In September 2019, the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition, Border Control. Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).

Borders and boundaries, both tangible and ephemeral, are closely tied to the ways in which humanity has always made sense of the world, and of its place in it.

Our current moment is one in which this certainty is being undermined as many borders are being challenged and contested.

Borders can be mental, physical, geographical, political, social, ethical, legal, economic, environmental, digital, real, imagined, visceral, and emotional.

How do you navigate borders in your own practice or research?

The New Media Caucus seeks to bring together artists and scholars to critically engage relevant topics.

Some of the processes calling contemporary borders into question are:

Registration is required to attend the Symposium. The deadline for registration is September 13, 2019.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

In September 2019, the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition, Border Control. Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).

Borders and boundaries, both tangible and ephemeral, are closely tied to the ways in which humanity has always made sense of the world, and of its place in it.

Our current moment is one in which this certainty is being undermined as many borders are being challenged and contested.

Borders can be mental, physical, geographical, political, social, ethical, legal, economic, environmental, digital, real, imagined, visceral, and emotional.

How do you navigate borders in your own practice or research?

The New Media Caucus seeks to bring together artists and scholars to critically engage relevant topics.

Some of the processes calling contemporary borders into question are:

Registration is required to attend the Symposium. The deadline for registration is September 13, 2019.

Please also consider joining students, faculty and the Ann Arbor community for the Penny Stamps Speaker Series on the evening of Thursday, Sept. 19.

3:30-5:00pm Keynote lecture
Ochy Curiel, Universidad Nacional de Colombia
“Encuentros y Desencuentros: Between Decolonial Feminism and Cuir/Queer Theory and Practice" (in Spanish).

Drawing on decolonial feminism which brings together and is complicated by the contributions, theories, analyses and practices of the most critical currents in feminism—such as Black feminism, feminist autonomous separatism, lesbian feminism, the feminism of indigenous women and Abya Yala’s indigenous origins—as well as the contributions of the decolonial turn around the historical construction of modernity and coloniality, this presentation seeks to problematize certain cuir/queer positions and analyses which only consider those bodies that are generated by and sexualized within privileged positions in regards to race, class, and geopolitics. At the same time, this paper tries to revive more critical and radical cuir/queer positions that contribute to constructing projects of social transformation and collective emancipation.

Ochy Curiel is professor of Gender Studies at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. She is an Afro-Dominican feminist, lesbian, anti-racist, and decolonial singer/scholar/activist who has been at the forefront of contemporary Afro-feminist movements throughout Latin America.

5:00-6:00pm Reception

Event is free and open to the public and will be in English and Spanish. Interpretation/translation will not be provided.

Major funding for this event provided by the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID) through a Think-Act Tank grant.

This conference on “The Cultural History of France and the World” will bring together current and former students of Dena Goodman’s in her honor. These interdisciplinary scholars build on the foundations of cultural history while also defining and embracing new historical
questions in ways that keep gender, race, sexuality, and cultural practice at the core of their research. This conference will feature papers that centralize the margins of the French empire; foreground interpersonal relationships in the process of artistic, intellectual, and cultural production; and position science as an integral part of politics, culture, and society, including historical practice.

The conference will feature the research of current University of Michigan students working in these areas as well as former students engaging in interdisciplinary historical scholarship on French cultural history. Michigan faculty will chair each session. Dena Goodman, one of the most innovative historians in this field, will provide closing remarks for the conference.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

This conference celebrates the upcoming publication of the two-volume Cambridge History of the Modern Indian Subcontinent (co-edited by David Gilmartin, Prasannan Parthasarthi, & Mrinalini Sinha). The texts will mark the centenary of the original Cambridge History of India (published in 5 volumes between 1922-1937) as well as the 75th anniversary of the Independence and Partition of the subcontinent in 1947.

The new volumes will comprise approximately 70 commissioned essays, covering the history of the modern Indian subcontinent from the founding of the Mughal Empire to the early 21st century. The two-volume Cambridge History of the Modern Indian Subcontinent will both reflect the changing contours of the region’s historiography since the 1980s and suggest openings for new directions.

The conference is open to the public.
The conference is made possible by the generous support of the College of Liberal Arts, the Department of History, and the Center for South Asian Studies, University of Michigan.

The Making of the Cambridge History of the Modern Indian Subcontinent (September 24, 2019 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/65234 65234-16557457@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 24, 2019 9:30am
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

This conference celebrates the upcoming publication of the two-volume Cambridge History of the Modern Indian Subcontinent (co-edited by David Gilmartin, Prasannan Parthasarthi, & Mrinalini Sinha). The texts will mark the centenary of the original Cambridge History of India (published in 5 volumes between 1922-1937) as well as the 75th anniversary of the Independence and Partition of the subcontinent in 1947.

The new volumes will comprise approximately 70 commissioned essays, covering the history of the modern Indian subcontinent from the founding of the Mughal Empire to the early 21st century. The two-volume Cambridge History of the Modern Indian Subcontinent will both reflect the changing contours of the region’s historiography since the 1980s and suggest openings for new directions.

The conference is open to the public.
The conference is made possible by the generous support of the College of Liberal Arts, the Department of History, and the Center for South Asian Studies, University of Michigan.

“Mobilizing ‘Blackness’: From the Haitian Revolution to Now” (September 26, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/66703 66703-16915706@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 26, 2019 11:00am
Location:
Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

From Negritude, to the Anti-Apartheid movement, to Mizrahi Jewish claims to being Black Panthers, to Asian/African/Caribbean coalitions in the United Kingdom, to articulations by German and French youth today, this symposium will address the ways in which “Blackness” has been mobilized to make claims on state and other resources. It will engage the anti-normative forms of living Blackness has enabled. Given these histories and contemporary articulations, it asks: Who can claim Blackness? Under what conditions and with what effect can one make this claim? To what extent does claiming Blackness lead to social change? What are the conditions for coalition around claiming Blackness? Does racism persist, even amongst people of color, in spite of this coalitional claim?

The symposium is free and open to the public and will include a special screening of the documentary Whose Streets? (2018) and the short What Kind of Power Y’All Got (2016) with a Q&A with the filmmakers to follow in Lecture Hall II of the Modern Language Building on Friday, September 27 at 7 PM.
