Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Culture Committee LSA Student Academic Affairs

This year's MLK Symposium theme, “Costs of Activism”, reflects the challenges of activism, broadly defined. Standing up against racism, classism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of bias, as well as taking action to support the voices of others, can entail both positive and negative challenges. Reflecting on these stories can be empowering and help build community.

We invite members of the University community to share their brief (2-4 minute) stories through written or spoken word, performance pieces, poems, art, music, or song. We encourage you to connect your story to the theme of “Costs of Activism.” This is an opportunity to tell your story, among supportive listeners, because (y)our stories matter!

This event will be held on MLK Day (Jan. 20th, 2020) from 1-2:30pm at the Newnan LSA Academic Advisor Center in 1255 Angell Hall.

Lessons from Toni Morrison: A Conversation (January 20, 2020 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71646 71646-17853464@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 20, 2020 2:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

On August 5, 2019, the world lost a giant. Toni Morrison was not
only an author and essayist, she was an icon who changed the literary
and cultural world through her writing and editing. From confronting
our personal and collective past to imagining a new future, Morrison's
teachings go far beyond the words she wrote. On this MLK Day, we
discuss her legacy.

What did Toni Morrison teach you? Please join us (with your favorite
Morrison book in hand!) as we discuss her writing, her legacy, the
"canon", the state of Black - and American - literature, and the work
that is still left to be done.

The Annual CSCS/ICAM Symposium 2020

Microbes, mice, and mockingbirds, economic markets and electronic machines all communicate but each does so in very different ways. This one-day symposium, sponsored by the University of Michigan's Center for the Study of Complex Systems in collaboration with the Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter, will bring together six leading researchers working across these diverse systems to investigate the emergence of communication and how it facilitates learning and language. The aim is to explore what makes these systems different and, importantly, what they have in common.

This symposium is free and open to the public. REGISTRATION is required for lunch.

P+ARG Biennial Conference: "Utopia vs. the City" (January 31, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70918 70918-17753820@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 31, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Is utopia simply what the city is not? The pastoral, the ethereal, the equitable, the apolitical, the unbuilt, the city to end all cities? Or is it (the exception to) the smart city? BIM’s telos, AI's metropolis, the singularity’s social network?

Then again, must utopia and the city be at odds? Perhaps urbanism is humanity's true soteriology. P+ARG's fifth biennial conference, Utopia vs. the City, questions both the endlessness of possibility and the finitude of existence.

Location: Research Museums Center
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

This talk will provide a synoptic overview of a new book project now being prepared by the community of Neotropical ichthyologists entitled Historical Ecology of Neotropical Freshwater Fishes. The humid Neotropics is home to the greatest concentration of biodiversity on Earth for many groups of organisms, including continental (or freshwater) fishes. The full dimensions of Neotropical freshwater fish (NFF) diversity have only come to be appreciated in recent years. As of this writing we have described about 6,088 NFF species, in 854 genera, 95 families and 39 orders. From torrential headwaters cascading off the Andean cordilleras and upland cratonic shields, to the murky waters of large lowland river channels, floodplains and swamps, NFFs thrive in astonishing abundance and diversity. NFFs in fact represent the most species-rich – and species-dense – continental fauna on Earth. Recent years have also seen rapid increase in our knowledge of the phylogenetic and ecological dimensions of NFF diversity, and the adoption of many innovative methods to study and understand the historical ecology of this singular fauna. NFF species inhabit a broad range of aquatic habitats, ecoregions and climate zones, displaying a bewildering array of organismal phenotypes that potentially confer functional advantages. Many NFFs possess ecophysiological and behavioral traits and tolerances that promote co-existence in species-rich local assemblages, some of which may also enhance evolutionary diversification. Other specialized phenotypes of sexual communication systems, including sensory cues and courtship displays, inhibit species from hybridizing and therefore promote higher species richness of local assemblages. The goals of this book are to synthesize current information on the historical ecology of NFF taxa, and to document the phylogenetic history of the many distinctive ecophysiological phenotypes of these fishes adapted to diverse habitat, dietary and other life-history specializations.

Keynote Address by John Harriss, Professor Emeritus of International Studies, Simon Fraser University

Thinking About Politics in South Asian Studies

In this talk Professor Harriss will reflect on the ways in which patterns of political mobilization and participation in India over the period since Independence have been understood, drawing on the work of historians and anthropologists, as well of political scientists. How has democracy worked in practice in a context in which, as Barrington Moore argued, there had been no ‘bourgeois revolution’? Is India still to be understood as a ‘patronage democracy’? Has the significance of ideological cleavages emphatically replaced that of social cleavages? Is Indian politics best understood through specifically Indian concepts? He will consider these and other questions about knowledge of Indian politics.

John Harriss, now Professor Emeritus at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, and formerly of the the London School of Economics, began studies of South Asia after driving overland from England to India in 1969. His research has ranged widely from work on agrarian change and labour studies to recent work on business and politics. He is the author (with Stuart Corbridge) of "Reinventing India," among other books.

Rackham Graduate School’s Professional Development DEI Certificate Program will host a DEI Symposium featuring keynote speaker Dr. Mark Kamimura-Jimenez, Associate Vice Chancellor and Dean of the Center for Diversity and Inclusion at Washington University in St. Louis. Showcased in the symposium will be graduate student scholars, leaders, and advocates that have been successful in creating an inclusive environment for their colleagues. The objectives of the symposium are to create a sense of community among DEI leaders and to disseminate the excellent work graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are doing related to DEI. In addition, the symposium will also serve as a space to share resources regarding DEI-related projects and initiatives that have been successful among schools and departments with the purpose of enhancing collaboration.

Symposium: Emerging Urbanisms in De-Industrializing Urban Regions (February 21, 2020 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/72076 72076-17933534@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 21, 2020 9:00am
Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

This symposium frames discourses emerging from a relational study of four transatlantic urban regions that display acute asymmetries of concurrent growth and socio-economic decline in the midst of larger economic restructuring: the Detroit Metropolitan Region; the Ruhr Valley; the Innovation Region “Rheinisches Revier” (Aachen-Cologne); and the deindustrializing hinterland of the southern U.S. Eastern Seaboard. The successive cycles of urban transformation have created uneven, landscapes which consist of fissures, empty gaps and vacated spaces interspersed amongst and between developed zones of concentrated and thriving activities. The resulting leftover spaces are latent sites of contestation and uncertainty where rival actors compete for a semblance of control with their own visions of re-use ranging from spontaneous and temporary to deliberate and semi-permanent.

Organized around four different thematic sessions, symposium participants will challenge the notion that all sites of abandonment suffer an identical fate. Examining these four regions as grounds for speculation and a platform for broader reflection engaging other global geographies, participants will engage in discussions regarding the intricate relationship between the simultaneous, incremental erasure of the built environment vis-a-vis ongoing urban projects that instigate, appropriate, produce and reproduce these weak urbanities while projecting more sustainable futures.

This event is co-sponsored by the Seminar Series program at the Urban Studies Foundation (USF) and the University of Michigan Taubman College, and is part of an interinstitutional initiative between the University of Michigan, the University of Virginia, and RWTH Aachen University.

Important Note: This event takes place at the Detroit Historical Society. Attendance is limited; registration is required. Transportation and lunch provided. Click "related links" to access registration page.

Join the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies and the Rackham Program in Public Scholarship as we hit the road to engage history on display at the Detroit Historical Museum. Stepping outside of our regular meeting place, we will spend time examining questions of audience and public engagement. Using the museum’s exhibits on Detroit’s early history and the 1967 rebellion, as a starting point, this event aims to spark conversations with Detroit Historical Society staff about the meaning of historical work in the public sphere. We will consider the benefits of doing historical work in public and the landscape of public history in general, as it continues to shift in response to current events, community advocacy, and scholarship.

Presenters/discussants:
Joel Stone (Senior Curator, Detroit Historical Society)
Kalisha Davis (Director of Community Outreach and Engagement, Detroit Historical Society)
Billy Wall-Winkel (Assistant Curator, Detroit Historical Society)

This event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg. Presented in partnership with the Rackham Program in Public Scholarship.

Keynote Lecture by Catherine J. Allen, The George Washington University: “Stones Who Love Me: miniaturization and animation in the Andes”

In an instruction manual for rural priests, published in 1620, the extirpator Pablo de Arriaga warned that, among Andean “idolatries,” the most difficult to destroy were those carried on privately within individual households. These practices concentrated on miniatures -- small stones in the shapes of, llamas, alpacas maize or potatoes. Far from being rooted out, they continue in many Andean communities, where certain small stone objects are thought to be intrinsically connected to powerful Places that control the vitality and reproduction of herd animals and crops. This illustrated lecture explores the animacy of these stones and compares them with other living stones in the Andean landscape that are said to have experienced a change in dimension at the moment of petrification. The analysis focuses on these shifts of dimensionality and enclosure in relation to the animacy of the Andean cosmos.

Dr. Allen is a sociocultural anthropologist interested in expressive culture and performance. She specializes in ethnography and ethnohistory and also experiments with modes of ethnographic writing and other modes of ethnographic representation. Her latest book is Foxboy: Intimacy and Aesthetics in Andean Stories.

Full Symposium Schedule:
10:00 am: Coffee
10:30 am - 12:00 pm: Discussion of selected excerpts from Foxboy: Intimacy and Aesthetics in Andean Stories with Dr. Allen
12:00 - 1:30 pm: Lunch
1:30 - 3:30 pm: Symposium
4:00 - 5:30 pm: Keynote Lecture

The Andean Circle (also known as Círculo Micaela Bastidas Phuyuqhawa or simply Círculo Andino) is an organization of students and faculty, mostly affiliated with the University of Michigan, whose work focuses on one of the Andean republics.

Location: Towsley Center for Cont. Med Ed
Organized By: Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center

*Please register by going to http://mleead.umich.edu/Event_Climate_Change_and_Health_2020.php*

Our climate is our planet’s life support system. Climate change influences human health and disease in numerous ways, including impacts from increased extreme weather events, wildfire, decreased air quality, and illnesses transmitted by food, water, and disease carriers such as mosquitoes and ticks. As described in the Lancet Countdown report, some existing health threats will intensify and new health threats will emerge. Not everyone is equally at risk, and children are especially at risk. Preventive and adaptive actions are needed.

The keynote speaker is an emergency medicine physician who co-authored the U.S. portion of the Lancet Countdown report and Health and Care Delivery in the New England Journal of Medicine. A panel of experts will present solutions from a variety of other universities who are reducing their carbon footprint in response to the urgent public health need.

Welcome: Joseph C. Kolars, MD, Senior Associate Dean for Education and Global Initiatives, UM Medical School

Keynote: "Climate Action: Children’s Health Drives Need for Urgent Action" Renee N. Salas, MD, MPH, MS, Clinical Instructor of Emergency Medicine, Harvard Medical School and emergency medicine physician, Massachusetts General Hospital

This event has been canceled. Plans to postpone are TBD.


CLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization, visibility, and media surrounding the movement of bodies, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms, through its various manifestations in the arts, critical theory, and new media.

We are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence, imperialism and body politics. Her films, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence, the Israel-Palestine conflict, civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film "Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer, Great Lakes South.

As part of the conference, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

POSTPONED: The AVMR Working Group and the library will reschedule this event at a later date.

This gathering is designed as both an introduction and a follow-up for anyone interested in finding out more about how UM faculty are using extended reality technologies in humanities-centered classrooms—in particular, to explore new ways of teaching diversity, empathy, historical imagination, and critical awareness of the technology itself.

What kinds of devices and content are in play, and how can we use them meaningfully in our teaching? What kinds of support are available for faculty looking to experiment with course design, classroom tech management, and student experience?

The afternoon will include a conversation with faculty and tech experts, another with students and former students, and a host of demos, experiences, and exhibitions of student work from humanities-centered courses incorporating extended reality technologies. Colleagues from the Provost’s AVMR (augmented, virtual and mixed reality) Working Group, the Shapiro Design Lab, the Duderstadt Center, LSA Academic Technologies Services, Library Operations Outreach & AV Services, and other campus groups will be on hand to provide support and guidance as you explore the many opportunities and resources available.
We’ll offer refreshments as well as food for thought about how we might re-imagine knowledge-making and explore critical arts & humanities perspectives on extended reality practices.

Please RSVP if you plan to attend.

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

Watch for updates later this year.

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan is pleased to present Natural History Collections: Drivers of Innovation, an exciting symposium about innovative and unconventional uses of biological collections across scientific disciplines. The symposium events will take place from the 13-15 March 2020, on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

When biologists think of natural history collections, most tend to think of taxonomy and systematics, yet many are unaware of the uses of biological collections beyond those traditional fields. These studies span the breadth of the tree of life and address broad subjects that span comparative genomics to bioengineering and climate change to historical pathogen dynamics, among many, many more. As stewards of one of the largest university-based biological collections in the world, we are in an extraordinary position to leverage our holdings of biological material from the last century or more. We envision this symposium as a way to showcase the often-unrealized opportunities and non-traditional avenues of research that our collections make possible to the entire scientific community, and emphasize some of the interdisciplinary ways in which our collections are being or could be used. We hope to foster a broader understanding and expanded use of an incomparable resource that the University of Michigan has cultivated for the past two hundred years.

The symposium will feature both established and novel uses of natural history collections across a wide range of taxonomic groups, systems, and time. Our goal is to create a program with contributions from all corners of ecology and evolutionary biology. The program will include two keynote talks by senior speakers and additional talks by early-career speakers.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Are we humans cooperative or warlike, rational or delusional, fixed or flexible? These questions have philosophical bite and political stakes. Indeed, they always have. But recent work in a range of disciplines asks us to go deeper. What if “we humans” are more fiction than fact? If we can’t assume the stability of the human across time and place, what happens to debates about human nature? Humanistic approaches including actor-network theory, posthuman criticism, and multispecies ethnographies challenge the idea of an autonomous human nature, while scientific studies of organ development, neuroendocrinology, and the microbiome are revealing how much nature there is inside of us. Human Conditions explores these questions through a braided history of the human and environmental sciences.

All events take place in 1014 Tisch Hall unless otherwise noted. The full schedule is below:

Thursday, March 19

From dissidents to villains to superheroes, how are Muslim characters written--and how does the public read them--in comic books today? This workshop explores the roles open to Muslim characters in serialized comics and graphic novels. The medium of serialized comics, commercialized in the twentieth century by mainstream comics publishers such as Marvel and DC, and epitomized by their respective superhero universes, has long been associated with a lack of racial and religious diversity, the sexualization of female characters, and a reader base that is stereotypically young, male, and white. Minority characters were often limited to tokenized villains or sidekicks designed for comic relief. But the contemporary young Muslim female superhero Ms. Marvel symbolizes a comics landscape that is changing. In the contexts of the Gulf Wars, 9/11, the Arab Spring, the Palestinian conflict, ongoing civil unrest in the Middle East, and worldwide refugee migrant crises, writers and artists from the Muslim and Arab worlds, and others writing journalistically and historically about those locales, are at the forefront of graphic medium literary production.

Graphic novels and comics by and about Muslims and Arabs comprise a growing and distinctive narrative strain within comics studies—one that this workshop of comics and Muslim and Arab Studies artists and scholars seeks to investigate.

Keynote speaker and Eisner Award-winning comics artist and science fiction and fantasy author Saladin Ahmed (*Throne of the Crescent Moon*, *Miles Morales: Spider-Man*, *Black Bolt*, *Exiles*) will speak about his new work for Marvel and other enterprises.

Chris Gavaler (*On the Origin of Superheroes: From the Big Bang to Action Comics No. 1*, 2015) explores the Islamicist history of the 20th-century superhero.

Esra Mirze Santesso (*Disorientation: Muslim Identity in Contemporary Anglophone Literature*, 2013) discusses human rights discourse in narratives of war and dissidence in Iran and Kashmir.

Karla Mallette (*European Modernity and the Arab Mediterranean*, 2010) reports on resistance to Muslim and other minority identity politics from some comics readers.

Aliyah Khan (*Far from Mecca: Globalizing the Muslim Caribbean*, 2020) examines orientalist representations of Muslim female superheroes.

The presenters bring postcolonial, decolonial, comics studies, and historicizing methodologies to bear on understanding commonalities and differences among Islamic, Muslim, and Arab graphic narratives, reading them as transnational works that, as many of their subjects do, cross borders and resist authoritarian states.


Cosponsored by: The Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies, The Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum, Middle East Studies, and Arab and Muslim American Studies

Science and technology lie at the heart of the carceral state. Matters of modern law and order rely on state-of-the-art technoscience as ideological and practical resources. Scientific theories about human behavior influence legal interpretations of guilt, sanity, violence, and innocence. Biometric sensors, cameras, tasers, and electronic ankle bracelets surveil, discipline, control, punish, and contain populations. This conference brings together an international group of science and technology studies (STS) scholars—humanists and social scientists who have developed analytic tools and perspectives for systematically understanding the reciprocal relationships between science, technology, politics, and society—to rigorously address one of the major social justice and human rights issues of our times.

This is a two-day conference co-organized by the Program in Science, Technology & Society and the Science, Technology & Public Policy program. Keynote is cosponsored by the African Studies Center.

Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Students and faculty are invited to attend the 10th anniversary Marshall M. Weinberg Symposium on Friday, April 10, and Saturday, April 11, 2020, at the U-M Michigan League.

Hosted by the Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science, the Weinberg Symposium features presentations, posters, and discussion centered on the theme: “The Cognitive Science of Concepts: Contrasting Perspectives Across the Disciplines.” Concepts--mental representations that underpin thought and reasoning--are understood and investigated in different ways across cognitive science's sub-disciplines, for example in developmental psychology, the study of animal cognition, and the study of artificial minds / artificial intelligence (AI).

A keynote lecture, “Do Apes Believe? The Concept of 'Belief' in Great Apes and Human Children,” by Michael Tomasello (Duke University) kicks off the two-day symposium on Friday, April 10. The lecture will be followed by a poster session and reception.

The second day of the symposium, Saturday, April 11, will feature a range of contrasting and potentially complementary perspectives on concepts by leading scholars in several disciplines. Guest speakers include Marjorie Rhodes (New York University), Sandra Waxman (Northwestern University), Surya Ganguli (Stanford University), and Michael Strevens (New York University).

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are the most prominent group of optically active van-der-Waals materials and show promising properties such as the potential for high carrier mobility, atomic thickness, and ultrafast charge transfer. The implications of fast charge and energy transfer for optoelectronic, energy-, and light-harvesting applications has made this group of materials one of the most well-studied ones over the past years. However, previous work employed techniques not uniquely suited to study the processes in these materials, especially with respect to the temporal resolution, yielding only insufficient information about the physics of the system.

In this talk, I will give an overview about the technique called multi-dimensional coherent spectroscopy (MDCS) that we employ to study the charge and energy transfer in a MoSe2/WSe2 heterostructure. Using this technique, we are able to infer information about the dominance of charge transfer on a sub-picosecond time-scale in these samples, the underlying time-scales of other processes occurring in the material such as fast decay into dark states, and the high spatial inhomogeneity of these dynamics. We are also able to clearly distinguish between energy and charge transfer dynamics. I will explain how our implementation of MDCS can be combined with existing imaging techniques and how we plan to use this in the future to advance the study of these promising materials for electronic applications.

Organized By: Department of Physics

String theory provides the most consistent framework for quantum gravity and to investigate the quantum effects on gravity within this theory, I focus on the holographic principle. The most successful realization of holography is the duality relating certain quantum theories and gravity theories. This duality gives a dictionary translating concepts from one theory to that of the other, providing a new methodology to study physical systems that was not possible prior to this correspondence. I utilize the strength of holography by developing tools for string theory using quantum theory guidance. It is in this setting that new methods are established for gravity to match with the expected quantum prediction. I will discuss some recent examples where the expressions I obtain on the gravity side agree with the quantum side, providing another check on holography while further deepening our understanding of string theory.

Evidenced by astrophysical and cosmological observation, dark matter comprises the dominant fraction of matter in the universe. However, its particle nature is as of yet unknown, representing arguably the most tantalizing hint for searches for new fundamental physics beyond the Standard Model. In this talk, I will review the status of searches for a particle dark matter known as the axion, which is theoretically well-motivated and largely experimentally unprobed, with emphasis on its unique cosmology and ongoing efforts towards its indirect detection. I will also briefly discuss new results from the Xenon1T experiment which report a 3.5 sigma detection of a solar axion.

The mass distribution in our universe gravitationally distorts light from galaxies, making galaxy shapes a powerful probe of cosmology. Visually overlapping galaxies along the line of sight, a problem known as blending, will negatively impact shape measurements taken from the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), the most powerful ground-based optical cosmology survey to date.

In this talk, I will discuss the blending problem in the context of LSST and the challenges that it represents for the collaboration. Then, I will survey state-of-the-art solutions that have been developed via algorithms known as deblenders. Finally, I will describe how these approaches fit together in the broader context and try to anticipate what the future of the blending problem looks like.

Does our stomach work independently? Does our brain watch out for and control the digesting process? To answer these questions, I will talk about current understandings of the stomach-brain interaction and introduce our work about how the brain intrinsically interacts with the stomach.

Physics Graduate Student Symposium | Eliminating Artifacts in Astronomical Images Using Deep Learning (July 23, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75256 75256-19379437@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, July 23, 2020 12:00pm

Polarization measurements done using Imaging Polarimeters such as the Robotic Polarimeter are very sensitive to the presence of artifacts in images. Artifacts can range from internal reflections in a telescope to satellite trails that could contaminate an area of interest in the image. With the advent of wide-field polarimetry surveys, it is imperative to develop methods that automatically flag artifacts in images. In this paper, we implement a Convolutional Neural Network to identify the most dominant artifacts in the images. We find that our model can successfully classify sources with 98% true positive and 97% true negative rates. Such models, combined with transfer learning, will give us a running start in artifact elimination for near-future surveys like the Wide Area Linear Optical Polarimeter (WALOP). This work was done at the Astronomy department of the California Institute of Technology in the US with Dr. Ashish Mahabal, Prof. Anthony Readhead, Prof. Kieran Cleary, Prof. A. N. Ramaprakash and Dr. Gina Panapoulou. This was a collaborative work with the PASIPHAE group which stands for Polar-Areas Stellar-Imaging in Polarization High-Accuracy Experiment. Pasiphae is an international collaboration between the University of Crete, Caltech, the South African Astronomical Observatory, the Inter-University Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics, and the University of Oslo. This experiment aims to map, with unprecedented accuracy, the polarization of millions of stars at areas of the sky away from the Galactic plane, in both the Northern and the Southern hemispheres.

Dark matter is a mysterious substance that pervades the universe and affects its evolution via gravity. The particulate nature of dark matter is unknown, although several theoretical candidates have been proposed. One such candidate is the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP), which several experiments over the last decade have sought to discover. Among the forthcoming generation of these experiments is LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), an underground tonne-scale detector employing liquid xenon to search for faint dark matter interactions. This talk will go over the operating principle of the detector, its sensitivity to physics beyond WIMPs, hardware challenges to achieve these science goals, and the simulation and analysis tasks in preparation for LZ's first data.

There is a natural connection between particle physics and representation theory. In particular, we often embed the Standard Model in a larger gauge group (such as in Grand Unified Theories) and spontaneously break the symmetry back down to the Standard Model at low energies. Particles naturally live in representations of this larger gauge group, and the branching rules of these representations tell us how GUT representations break into Standard Model representations. Hence, the computation of these branching rules tells us much about the physics of these theories.

In this talk, I will first give an introduction to the necessary details about Lie algebras, discuss their internal structure and representations, and explain what precisely we mean by "branching rules" and how one would compute these rules. The second part of the talk will focus on my previous work at Vanderbilt on the LieART (Lie Algebras and Representation Theory) Mathematica program, extending it to compute almost all branching rules.

Physical systems are conventionally studied using experiments, that may be costly, exceedingly difficult, or infeasible. Alternatively, various computational approaches, have proven rigorous and successful, but still suffer from being generally resource-intensive and occasionally difficult to interpret. Particularly for classes of systems that can be described by partial differential equations, such as for example multi-component crystalline solids undergoing mechanical deformations, and changes in chemical potential, high-fidelity solutions generally contain up to tens of millions of degrees of freedom. New methods must, therefore, be developed that represent this information in a lower-dimensional space, allowing for more efficient, and intuitive computations.

In this talk, I will be introducing a novel graph-theoretic approach for reduced-order modelling of a wide class of systems, allowing for more efficient and effective data-driven simulations. Concepts in graph theory will be introduced, including a rigorous non-local discrete calculus, and I will describe how states of a system and their relationships can be represented using this formalism. I will then discuss the numerical methods for computing a reduced-order model for quantities of interest and will show some preliminary results, indicating the validity and possible exciting future applications of this general framework.

LCDM is the most successful cosmology model in the past decades, proven by multiple independent observations including CMB, Supernovae, Large scale structures, etc. LCDM states that our flat universe (mostly) consists of dark matter and dark energy. However, as the precision of cosmological probes increases, some anomalies that cannot be perfectly explained by LCDM start to show up. Among them the most statistically significant one is the 4-5 \sigma discrepancy between early and late universe Hubble constant. In this talk, I will briefly summarize the facts we know about Hubble constant measurements, and present the current discussions in the field on the Hubble tension. After that, I will use my recent effort on resolving this tenison by decaying dark matter cosmology as an example, to demonstrate where such anomalies lead us to and how we explore beyond LCDM.

What is decolonization? What does it mean and what does it entail? These questions and more have emerged center-stage in recent years with a spate of new academic scholarship on decolonization as well as from the politically vibrant clamor on the streets. The latter ranges from #RhodesMustFall to Standing Rock and the recent global iterations of #BlackLivesMatter. At stake is a vastly expanded understanding of the histories of colonialism. The effects are, of course, not just out there in the colonies, but also in the erstwhile imperial centers. The consequences were never just political and economic but also social and cultural. And colonialism is not just a matter of the past; it persists well into the present. The resulting push back against colonialism has produced a reanimation of the myriad uses of the term decolonization: as an axial event of the twentieth century; a more long-term and ongoing political process; a metaphor and a method; and as a distinctive project for the repatriation of Indigenous lands.

Our panel of scholars will explore the meaning of decolonization from within their respective fields. Our Q&A format will help to navigate the tensions and contradictions between different uses of the term as well as to reflect on its continued usefulness for scholarly analysis.

Panelists:
Sascha Crasnow (Lecturer, Residential College, University of Michigan)
Andrew Herscher (Associate Professor; Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, History of Art, Slavic Languages and Literatures; University of Michigan)

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Chaos and clamor resist our analytical grasp. They invoke a liminality that can be disruptive of, and also a provocation to, stability and order. Yet their outcomes are seldom predictable. It is precisely as threshold moments that they acquire their historical charge. Chaos and clamor, a public outcry or protestation, brings into focus the challenge of historical change: the often unexpected manner in which seemingly stable political and social orders can be suddenly made, unmade, and re-made. This theme invites us to offer new inflections on long-standing debates about the nature of history itself, the relative weight of individual and collective actions, of discrete events and moments, and of longer-term historical trends. This semester we explore the disorganization that propels history and our approach towards it.

Panelists:

Howard Brick (Louis Evans Chair in US History, University of Michigan)
Katherine French (J. Frederick Hoffman Professor of History, University of Michigan)
Ellen Muehlberger (Professor of History and Middle East Studies, University of Michigan)
Mrinalini Sinha, chair (Alice Freeman Palmer Professor of History, University of Michigan)

Note: This event was rescheduled from September 11 to October 23.

Free and open to the public. This is a remote event and will take place online via Zoom. Please register in advance here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_vHFO9O5MQgu1gSdTR5IJ_Q

This event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

Register today at https://buildingpower20.wixsite.com/bpaws2020.

With the U.S. general election days away, we’ll have rich conversations all afternoon about how we might reimagine our current democracy. While the theme speaks to a crucial election year where our votes are an explicit argument against white supremacy and anti-blackness, we also know that voting is not the only tool we wield to transform the injustices we are immersed in.

Come! Join in community to learn about what other tools we have. Build relationships, care for ourselves and one another, and dig into how we abolish the systems that bind us to the settler colonial project of white supremacy.

We invite you to visit our website to browse the conference schedule, explore this year’s Beyond Voting theme, and register for the conference at https://buildingpower20.wixsite.com/bpaws2020.

Today, data science is a form of power. It has been used to expose injustice, improve health outcomes, and topple governments. But it has also been used to discriminate, police, and surveil. This potential for good, on the one hand, and harm, on the other, makes it essential to ask: Data science by whom? Data science for whom? Data science with whose interests in mind? Authors of Data Feminism, Catherine D’Ignazio and Lauren Klein, address how feminist thinking can be operationalized in order to imagine more ethical and equitable data practices in their keynote speech at the MIDAS Annual Symposium on November 10 at 9:00 AM. Please register to attend this virtual event.

Organized By: Center on Finance, Law, and Policy

The University of Michigan's Center on Finance, Law & Policy and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco are co-hosting the second “Central Bank of the Future” Conference on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, November 16 – 18, 2020. This event will be virtual, open to the public, and free to attend.

This event will build on the conference hosted last year by continuing to explore how central banks are evolving and their potential to foster greater financial and economic inclusion in the United States and worldwide. This year’s conference will examine how the three functions of a modern central bank could evolve to create a more inclusive financial system. Areas of exploration may include:

• How the functions of the modern central bank could shift to more
actively promote inclusion and address poverty, rather than
responding to exclusion,
• The potential for central banks to operate as new kinds of utilities
or direct service providers,
• The value and challenge of extending the regulatory perimeter to
supervise new products, services, and networks, and
• The role of technology and innovation within central banks to help
support both traditional and expanded functions.

Global Health Supply Chain VIRTUAL Summit (November 17, 2020 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79395 79395-20296427@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 17, 2020 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Ross

In its 13th year, this international summit will focus on Global Health Supply Chain Resiliency – Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. COVID-19 has brought to light the fragility of global supply chains and challenges health systems have faced to address the new health needs arising from COVID-19 while continuing to address traditional health care needs. Clearly, resiliency of supply chains and health systems is essential. Exploring the elements of resilient health supply chains will be the focus of GHSCS 2020. Resiliency can be achieved through supply chain design, appropriate use of technology, leveraging partnerships and establishing proper governance systems but all these depend on a deep understanding of the challenges faced by the workforce who will be called upon to execute on the resilience strategy and fill in the inevitable gaps.

GHSCS 2020 will explore these issues through a combination of keynotes & plenary speakers, panel discussions, and contributed talks. Like in the past, the conference has assembled a collection of experts in and from the field – academics, country planners, NGOs, logistics practitioners, industry and donor representatives to explore these topics. The committee is particularly interested in capturing the voices from the field to learn and share experiences related to managing supply chains for and during COVID-19.

43 countries represented by registered attendees

Please join us for a discussion of Julius S. Scott's seminal book, The Common Wind: Afro-American Currents in the Age of the Haitian Revolution. Winner of the 2019 Stone Book Award from the Museum of African American History, the work presents a remarkable intellectual history of the slave revolts that made the modern revolutionary era. The Common Wind is a gripping and colorful account of the intercontinental networks that tied together the free and enslaved masses of the New World.

Featuring remarks by Julius S. Scott (University of Michigan), Laurent Dubois (Duke University), Rebecca J. Scott (University of Michigan), and Stephen Ward (University of Michigan). Chaired by Matthew J. Countryman (University of Michigan).

Free and open to the public.
