Glitch
Our theme for this year’s conference is GLITCH. Glitches represent the idea that life often tries to derail us off a steady path. Although we may experience a setback or glitch, we can learn from it, propel forward, and start to appreciate every pixel of our experiences. We aim to cultivate an attendee experience that reflects the many meanings of this theme. As always, we hope those who attend our conference will leave having discovered the importance of their own glitches while learning to look for the positive outcomes.

Speakers
Our speakers have already been selected for this year's conference. They will be revealed here and on our social media throughout the month of January. Make sure to follow us on social media and check back regularly for when they are announced.

Dr. Feranmi Okanlami

Dr. Feranmi Okanlami is the Director of the first-ever Adaptive Sports and Fitness program at the University, an assistant professor of family medicine, and serves as director of Student Accessibility and Accommodation Services. After facing a spinal cord injury in his third year of orthopedic surgery residency at Yale that paralyzed him from the chest down, he has gone on to pursue several degrees and receive the Nielson award for his disability advocacy. He served on the St. Joseph County Board of Health, appointed by then Mayor, Pete Buttigieg and has been featured on news outlets including CBS News, PBS News Hour, and Good Morning America. Dr. Okanlami continues to push for DEI and accessibility with his message that disability is not inability.

In his talk he hopes to explore disability as a fabric of diversity and its relationship with society.

Elizabeth Trinh

Elizabeth is originally from Vietnam and is currently a Ph.D. student and researcher in the Management and Organizations program at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. She has a unique life story of growing up in a small town in Georgia since her father was on a Student Visa in America. The community however in her small town was something that molded her to become the person she is today even though it was a very segregated town as her family was the only people of Asian descent there. When she got older, she moved to Atlanta where she first started to see people who looked like her. She further went to Stanford for her undergraduate degree in premed studies.

In her talk, she hopes to tell her story and how it affected her to learn the importance of mentorship and creating meaningful connections wherever we go!

Amy Tseng

Amy is a passionate speaker who works at Walt Disney as a Technical Director, which act as the bridge between the art and technical sides of animation (ex. The water in Moana). She grew up in a small town in Port Huron, MI and was always a part of many different activities in sports, theater, music, and academics. At first, she worked for Nordstrom, but really wanted to do some creative work as well, which is how she decided to apply for Walt Disney. So far she has worked on Zootopia+ (which is her favorite project so far), Strange World, and is working on a film that comes out in 2024. She is currently based in Los Angeles, CA.

In her talk, she will touch on story telling and how “everyone is a storyteller” as everyone has experiences that build off of each other and all of these experiences when growing up builds our stories!

Tommy Searle

Tommy is an app developer and is a 2020 UofM Alumni! During his first year in Michigan, he lost his dad to suicide. He ran 6 campaigns surrounding mental health awareness, sold t-shirts, and raised over $20,000. He began interning at LinkedIn but soon recruited his closest friends to quit their jobs and create their first app, WellNest. Throughout his work, he loved seeing people wear or use the products he created. His goals for the future include increasing the happiness that we feel on our phones and breaking the pattern of phones disconnecting us. Tommy speaks in such a confident and genuine way that is truly inspiring.

In his talk, he will touch on topics such as persistence, turning something “bad” into a good positive force of energy, and being unafraid of failing!

Nicole Auerbach

Nicole is a sports journalist for the Athletic. She is also a UofM alumnus and at her time here she wrote for the Michigan Daily Sports section, being one of the very few females in that category. She originally thought she would pursue business in college but someone in her dorm told her about the Michigan Daily. That changed the trajectory of her life and through working at the Michigan Daily she worked her way up after having many internships to a first full-time job as an editor at USA Today. From 2017 to the present, she is doing football reporting for the Atlantic and she does some radio coverage on the side with Sirius XM.

In her talk, she will speak about her experience being a woman in the sports industry, a heavily male-dominated space, and resiliency through coping with difficult situations in what many perceive as a “dream job”.

Annie Rauwerda

Annie is currently a freelance writer and she runs the “Depths of Wikipedia” account on Instagram which holds 1.1 million followers. During her time as a Junior at UofM when COVID hit she was able to take time to post her favorite things from Wikipedia on Instagram. This quickly became a hit with people on Instagram and this growth allowed her to freelance as a junior doing live shows and stand-up comedy while still in college. She was able to get a book deal and do a show tour around the country. Through this whole incredible experience, she learned the importance of digital archives for the sake of history. She continues to run “Depths of Wikipedia” through not only Instagram but also Twitter (650k), and TikTok (140k) and does comedy and speaking engagements about Wikipedia.

In her talk, she will talk about the importance of creating human knowledge and how Wikipedia encourages this along with adding some standup and humorous elements to her talk.

David Siev

Midwest-born and raised, David Siev is a first-generation Cambodian-Mexican-American filmmaker. Before directing Bad Axe, his SXSW award-winning feature debut based on his family’s restaurant in rural Michigan, David spent his early career learning guerilla filmmaking under director Jeff Tremaine. This experience prepared David to make his directorial debut with his award-winning narrative short, Year Zero, based on his father’s experience of escaping Cambodia. David’s work on Bad Axe has been celebrated with numerous accolades, including the Critic’s Choice Award for Best First Feature Documentary and he is on the Oscar shortlist for documentary features. David now lives in NYC, focusing on developing narrative and documentary projects.

In his talk, he will touch on the immigrant experience and the American Dream along with coming from nothing to making something of yourself in an unknown field!

Ji Hye Kim

Ji Hye Kim is the award-winning chef/owner of Miss Kim in Ann Arbor, MI. Named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs of 2021, Ji Hye aims to broaden the understanding of Korean cuisine through her cooking. She was born in Seoul, Korea, and was introduced to cooking by her mother, a talented home cook. Her family immigrated to New Jersey, and Ji Hye went on to study political science and economics at the University of Michigan. Since Ji Hye attended U-M during the Asian financial crisis, she had to take two years off to make cash for school through waitressing because she did not have a work permit. After years of hard work, Ji Hye was able to finish college and open her first restaurant Miss Kim, which has now been named one of Ann Arbor’s “Most Essential Restaurants” by Eater. At her acclaimed restaurant Miss Kim, her seasonal menu is inspired by ancient Korean culinary traditions and adapted to local Midwestern ingredients.

In her talk, she will touch on how we are all a complex mix of identities but society often wants to put us in one box and how to lead with empathy by creating a system that sets people up to have a more equitable workplace!

Location: Taubman Health Science Library, room 2955
Organized By: Sessions @ Michigan

The "Engaged Mentoring" workshop is for mentors of research trainees at any stage of training. This workshop is an evidence-based, interactive approach designed to elevate mentoring skills for engaging in productive, culturally responsive research mentoring relationships. These skills will support the success of both mentors and mentees. This training is responsive to the new NIGMS guidelines regarding the preparation of mentors involved in training grants.


This workshop aims to accelerate the process of becoming an effective research mentor by providing mentors with an intellectual framework, an opportunity to experiment with various methods, and a forum in which to solve mentoring dilemmas with the help of their peers. By the end of the workshop, mentors will have articulated their style and philosophy of mentoring and have a toolbox of strategies for approaching difficult mentoring situations. This series is adapted from the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) "Entering Mentoring" curriculum (Pfund, Branchaw, and Handelsman, 2014) and "Entering Research" (Branchaw, Butz, & Smith, 2019) and adapted with permission from W.H. Freeman/Macmillan Learning.
Register for ALL sessions within this series. The expectation is that participants will make every effort to attend both sessions in the workshop to facilitate cohort discussions. The sessions will take place in person. 
Part I: Wednesday Feb 22, 8am-12pm THSL 2994Part II: Thursday Feb 23, 1-5pm, THSL 2955There will be opportunities to attend this workshop in March and April (dates TBD) for those that cannot make the February dates.

CAS Workshop | Negotiating “Ambiguous Race”: Hierarchies of Citizenship and Belonging in the Empires of the Ancient Mediterranean (February 23, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104751 104751-21810075@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 23, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Armenian Studies

In the second book of the Annals, the Roman historian Tacitus describes the Armenians as an ambigua gens - an “ambiguous race.” According to Tacitus, not only did Armenia defy definition, but its volatile political history between Rome and Persia reflected the inherent ambiguity of the Armenian gens. Neither Roman nor Persian, Greek nor barbarian, Armenia simply did not fit into one of the established hierarchies the Romans used to order their world and to situate their subjects within the existing hierarchies of their empire.

By drawing the experiences of Armenians into dialogue with other minoritized populations in the Roman empire, Sasanian Persia, and other empires of the Mediterranean, this workshop explores how hierarchies of citizenship, race, and belonging functioned as technologies of imperial rule across a variety of case studies. In particular, it seeks to contribute to critical conversations on the study of race in the ancient and late ancient Mediterranean, thereby shedding light on the ways in which imperial subjects fashioned their individual and communal subjectivities both diachronically and synchronically.

How, then, might the “ambiguity” of the Armenian ambigua gens illuminate not only the experiences of empire, but also the ontology of empires themselves in the premodern Mediterranean? How did imperial hierarchies of citizenship and belonging shape daily life at the center and on the periphery? And how did imperial subjects engage with, manipulate, or even reject these imperial hierarchies in order to navigate their place in their local and supra-local imperial contexts? This workshop brings together scholars from multiple academic disciplines to reconsider the dynamics of imperialism and to propose new historical paradigms to decenter, decolonize, and deconstruct the historiography of empires in the premodern Mediterranean.

The Egalitarian Metropolis: Towards an Inclusive Recovery for Detroit

The Great Black Migration to Detroit occurred at the height of the city’s industrial dominance, and yet the result was a deeply divided metropolis where almost all the benefits of subsequent industrial restructuring flowed to white suburbanites and almost all the costs were borne by Black city residents. Today’s Detroit might be more challenged economically, yet paradoxically the chances for an inclusive recovery and a more egalitarian metropolis might be greater. Detroit and Detroit-like cities have the possibility of restructuring to deliver greater equity for their residents than other metros hampered by high housing costs and issues associated with infrastructure, transportation, and education, among other pressing concerns. But can Detroit overcome its racial and economic divisions to become a more egalitarian metropolis?

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Department of Statistics

The Michigan Student Symposium for Interdisciplinary Statistical Sciences (MSSISS) is an annual event organized by graduate students in the Biostatistics, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (EECS), Industrial & Operations Engineering (IOE), Statistics and Survey and Data Science (MPSDS) departments at the University of Michigan.

The goal of this symposium is to create an environment that allows communication across related fields of statistical sciences and promotes interdisciplinary research among students and faculty. It encourages students to present their work, share insights, and exposes them to diverse applications of statistical sciences. Though hosted by five departments, we extend our invitation to students from all departments across the University to present their statistical research in the form of an oral presentation or a poster. It also provides an excellent environment for interacting with students and faculty from other areas of statistical research on campus.

MSSISS is an opportunity for interdisciplinary research and discussion across the fields of statistical sciences. Calling all graduate students (as well as talented undergraduates)! Come along, present your work, share insights, and learn about the diverse applications of statistical sciences.

Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Comparative Literature

This event is OPEN to the public! All are welcome. Registration is NOT required.

The Comparative Literature Intra-Student Faculty Forum (CLIFF) is a conference organized by Graduate students in Complit.

This year’s theme is “INSURGENT RESEARCH: Practice and Theory,” and will spotlight research that aspire to function as *counter-counterinsurgency,* offering models for materially resisting and challenging capitalism, colonialism, militarism, racism, the destruction of the environment, mass incarceration, policing, and so forth.

Our panelists are graduate and undergraduate students, independent scholars and researchers, faculty, as well as activists from across the country and beyond.

We are excited to have Dr. Joy James as our keynote speaker for the 27th CLIFF. James is a scholar, author and activist, and the Ebenezer Fitch Professor of Humanities at Williams College. Their academic work and public engagement address police and prison abolitionism, political imprisonment, radical feminism, and diasporic anti-Black racism.

Join us to learn about scholarship that takes the leap from theory to practice, from discourse to action, from critique to insurgency!

Doctoral Candidate, Psychology
Title: COVID-19: Its effects on Latinos and the protective factors they may employ to cope
COVID-19 has laid bare the structural inequities that low-income communities of color face. Yet, public health recommendations for preventing the spread—staying at home and social distancing—only add another layer to the health disparities, socioeconomic disadvantages, and policy barriers experienced by communities of color. Guided by a resilience-based approach, this project employs a mixed methods design to gauge the effects of COVID-19 on Latinos whilst exploring the cultural and social influences that serve as protective factors in the face of psychological and structural barriers. As a first step, quantitative data was gathered through an online survey of 1595 Latinos from the United States and Puerto Rico. Initial analyses of the sample—which showcased vaccine hesitancy, collectivist ideals, and a general fear of the virus—were used to design a semi-structured interview protocol. The resulting qualitative data comes from one-on-one interviews with 60 Latinos from the United States. Integrated results regarding the effects of COVID, steps taken to combat COVID, concerns, cultural values, and hopes for the future illustrate the why/how often missing from quantitative samples and show that despite the many difficulties brought about by COVID-19 there is strength in the values and customs of Latino culture.

CARLOS VIVALDO
Doctoral Candidate, Biopsychology
Title: Joint Coding of Sound and Speed by Auditory Cortical Neuronal Ensembles
The ability to process and act upon incoming sounds during locomotion is critical for survival. Intriguingly, sound responses of auditory cortical neurons are on average weaker during locomotion as compared to immobility and these results have been suggested to reflect a computational resource allocation shift from auditory to visual processing. However, the evolutionary benefit of this hypothesis remains unclear. In particular, whether weaker sound-evoked responses during locomotion indeed reflect a reduced involvement of the auditory cortex, or whether they result from an alternative neural computation in this state remains unresolved. To address this question, we first used neural inactivation in behaving mice and found that the auditory cortex plays a critical role in sound-guided behavior during locomotion. To investigate the nature of this processing, we used two-photon calcium imaging of local excitatory auditory cortical neural populations in awake mice. We found that underlying a net inhibitory effect of locomotion on sound-evoked response magnitude, spatially intermingled neuronal subpopulations were differentially influenced by locomotion. Further, the net inhibitory effect of locomotion on sound-evoked responses was strongly shaped by elevated ongoing activity. Importantly, rather than reflecting enhanced “noise”, this ongoing activity reliably encoded the animal’s locomotion speed. Prediction analyses revealed that sound, locomotive state and their integration are strongly encoded by auditory cortical ensemble activity. Finally, we found consistent patterns of locomotion-sound integration in electrophysiologically recorded activity in freely moving rats. Together, our data suggest that auditory cortical ensembles are not simply suppressed by locomotion but rather encode it alongside sound information to support sound perception during locomotion.

In the school context, teacher self-efficacy beliefs are defined as teachers' individual beliefs in their abilities to perform specific teaching tasks at a given level of quality in a given situation. According to Frenzel (2009; 2014), both positive and negative emotions that a teacher exhibits toward teaching are influenced by the teacher's different experiences in the classroom and influence the teacher's well-being. The present study examines whether teaching emotions, such as enjoyment, anger, and anxiety, plays a role in explaining the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and well-being. A sample of 2698 Chilean teachers between 20 and 80 years of age (M = 41.4, SD = 11.1; primarily women, 73.5%) was used. A mediation analysis was performed using a multiple regression model with a Bootstrap method. The results show that the emotions of enjoyment, anger, and anxiety toward teaching mediate the relationship between Self-Efficacy and teachers' well-being. Thus, the higher the self-efficacy, the greater the enjoyment, which is associated with higher levels of well-being.
On the other hand, the higher the self-efficacy, the lower the anger and anxiety, which are associated with higher levels of well-being. The present study argues that emotions are an essential resource that enhances or decreases teachers' well-being associated with their self-efficacy.

Title: Sharing the Burden: Latinx Immigrant Parents and Teens' Socio-political Discussions and their Impact on Youth Mental Health

Background:
There is limited research on parent-child discussions about sociopolitical issues in the U.S. and how they take place. There is less known about the role of sociopolitical conversations as a protective factor benefitting immigrant youth and families. We draw on the Ecological Expansion of the Adverse Childhood Experiences framework to better understand how immigrant-origin youth are making sense of restrictive immigration policies coupled with cultural and sociopolitical messaging received from parents.
Methods:
Participants engaged in one-hour virtual interviews between 2020 and 2021. We conducted ten interviews with undocumented Latinx parents, and 10 interviews with their adolescents aged 13-17.
Results:
Three main themes emerged from parent interviews: 1) sociopolitical socialization and youth agency; 2) documentation status socialization; and 3) emotional and mental health well-being. Findings show that parents use storytelling to share messages about race, culture, and immigration, and provide counternarratives to the toxic sociopolitical environment. Four themes emerged from youth interviews: 1) sociopolitical awareness and action; 2) youth taking on a protective role; 3) learning about risks, injustices and privileges; and 4) mental health. Youth shared a desire for sociopolitical education, and reported a range of coping mechanisms against anti-immigrant rhetoric.
Conclusion & Implication:
Our findings provide a greater understanding of communication practices within Latinx mixed-status immigrant families, by drawing on both parent and youth reports. These findings can inform practitioners and researchers alike of the amplified systemic barriers felt by immigrant families during the pandemic, and the urgency of supporting them as they fight for their rights and dignity.

Title: Phenotypic Racial Identification in Socialization of Multiracial individuals
There is a phenomenon of multiracial individuals expressing a greater association with one of their ethnic-racial identities over another. These associations within Multiracial individuals are the resultant of perceptions of phenotype, which is largely framed by white supremacy (Thekkedam, 2013). This research endeavor aims to contribute to understandings of the effect of dissociation of identity on strong psychosocial implications by challenging current literature and research by decentering whiteness through framing multiracial identity formation as a resultant of oppression in white supremacy (Miville et al., 2005). Beyond decentering whiteness in our research this is a remediary effort to reduce associations between racial category and phenotype within participants while investigating the role of the proximity to whiteness in the socialization of the participants and its effects on their identity formation. (Khanna, 2016). The methodology involves accessing qualitative interview data with a sample size of (n=5). Participants include individuals that either identify as multiracial and express identification with one aspect of their race or ethnicity over another. The diverse set of participants ranging from Asian American, Hispanic - Black, African American - White mothers, to a mother who identifies as Mulatta and the smaller scale of the research compares across racial compositions and age of the participants by examining the sociological underpinnings provides this research with a novel positionality. Rapid and Rigorous Qualitative Data Analysis (RADaR) technique is the intended modality for analysis (Watkins, 2017)

Title: “Mis Amores”: Affirming Ethnic-Racial Socialization Practices in School Introduction
Latinx youth are the second largest ethnic/racial youth group in the U.S. and comprise more than one quarter of our nation’s current public K-12 students (Patten, 2016; U.S. Census Bureau, 2019). However, Latinx students (and other youth of color) are also increasingly the subject of racial harassment from peers and teachers (Rogers et al., 2017). Yet, schools can also be sites of affirming explicit and implicit messages about ethnicity and race, thereby affording opportunities for Latinx youth to develop their ethnic-racial identities, multicultural competencies, and critical consciousness to the extent that they are able to learn about their own groups, the experiences of others, and racial inequality and injustice, respectively. Understanding Latinx youths’ racialized experiences at school can thus provide crucial insights to educators and researchers seeking to support the healthy development of Latinx youth. In this qualitative case study, we describe the instructional practices and interpersonal interactions of Ms. Perez, an esteemed educator known for her exemplary instructional practices that uplift youths’ civic capacities while attending to their social and emotional learning needs. Using thematic analysis, we developed three themes of ethnic-racial content integration: (a) cultural content, (b) racialized experiences, and (c) youth empowerment. Our findings come at a pivotal moment, providing specific strategies and practices to inform future research and theorizing on best practices to support Latinx youths’ development as it relates to their identity and critical consciousness.

The Egalitarian Metropolis: Towards an Inclusive Recovery for Detroit

The Great Black Migration to Detroit occurred at the height of the city’s industrial dominance, and yet the result was a deeply divided metropolis where almost all the benefits of subsequent industrial restructuring flowed to white suburbanites and almost all the costs were borne by Black city residents. Today’s Detroit might be more challenged economically, yet paradoxically the chances for an inclusive recovery and a more egalitarian metropolis might be greater. Detroit and Detroit-like cities have the possibility of restructuring to deliver greater equity for their residents than other metros hampered by high housing costs and issues associated with infrastructure, transportation, and education, among other pressing concerns. But can Detroit overcome its racial and economic divisions to become a more egalitarian metropolis?

The Egalitarian Metropolis: Towards an Inclusive Recovery for Detroit

The Great Black Migration to Detroit occurred at the height of the city’s industrial dominance, and yet the result was a deeply divided metropolis where almost all the benefits of subsequent industrial restructuring flowed to white suburbanites and almost all the costs were borne by Black city residents. Today’s Detroit might be more challenged economically, yet paradoxically the chances for an inclusive recovery and a more egalitarian metropolis might be greater. Detroit and Detroit-like cities have the possibility of restructuring to deliver greater equity for their residents than other metros hampered by high housing costs and issues associated with infrastructure, transportation, and education, among other pressing concerns. But can Detroit overcome its racial and economic divisions to become a more egalitarian metropolis?

Engaged Mentoring Workshop Series (March 21 and March 22, 2023) (March 22, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/104500 104500-21809493@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 22, 2023 8:00am
Location: Taubman Health Science Library, room 2955
Organized By: Sessions @ Michigan

The "Engaged Mentoring" workshop is for faculty mentors of research trainees at any stage of training. This workshop is an evidence-based, interactive approach designed to elevate mentoring skills for engaging in productive, culturally responsive research mentoring relationships. These skills will support the success of both mentors and mentees. This training is responsive to the new NIGMS guidelines regarding the preparation of mentors involved in training grants.

This workshop aims to accelerate the process of becoming an effective research mentor by providing mentors with an intellectual framework, an opportunity to experiment with various methods, and a forum in which to solve mentoring dilemmas with the help of their peers. By the end of the workshop, mentors will have articulated their style and philosophy of mentoring and have a toolbox of strategies for approaching difficult mentoring situations. This series is adapted from the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) "Entering Mentoring" curriculum (Pfund, Branchaw, and Handelsman, 2014) and "Entering Research" (Branchaw, Butz, & Smith, 2019) and adapted with permission from W.H. Freeman/Macmillan Learning.
Register for ALL sessions within this series. The expectation is that participants will make every effort to attend both sessions in the workshop to facilitate cohort discussions. The sessions will take place in person.
Part I: Tuesday March 21, 8am-12pm THSL 2955Part II: Wednesday March 22, 8am-12pm, THSL 2955
There will be an opportunity to attend this workshop April (dates TBD) for those that cannot make the March dates.

We know the semester is busy but, hope you considering attending the annual social justice symposium. Students (undergraduate and graduate), Staff, and Faculty are welcome. The past few years have brought (and continue to bring) many threats to our democracy from the insurrection of the Capitol, overturn of Roe vs Wade, an increase in police violence, an attack on science, attacks on Critical Theories, and most recently the Florida HB 999 proposed by a 2024 presidential candidate. We know these threats impact each individual differently and we want to talk and learn about it! Join SCOR for the annual social justice symposium featuring a keynote by activist and artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh. REGISTER HERE TODAY!

11th Annual Marshall M. Weinberg Symposium (March 24, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102369 102369-21803927@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 24, 2023 3:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

The 11th anniversary Marshall M. Weinberg Symposium will take place at the Michigan League Ballroom and via Zoom on Friday, March 24 and Saturday, March 25, 2023. The theme of the symposium is "Computational Psychiatry: From Mental Circuits to Mental Illness."

Psychiatry has long emphasized lists of signs and symptoms for categorizing, diagnosing, and treating mental disorders. However, the inner workings of the mind/brain that produce and explain these signs and symptoms have remained obscure. The 2023 Weinberg Symposium examines “Computational Psychiatry”, an upstart field that aims to revolutionize psychiatry by addressing this gap. Theorists in this new field build computational models that explain in a step-by-step way how the mind/brain performs key mental functions, and they then demonstrate how signs and symptoms of mental disorders arise from altered “parameter settings” of these models. The Symposium features five leading theorists in computational psychiatry who will present their latest research on topics including delusional belief in schizophrenia and negativity bias in depressive disorders. The Symposium offers a chance to hear about the promise (as well as the pitfalls) of computational psychiatry—a field that has the potential to transform the way we understand mental illness.

Wieseneck and Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies Spring Symposium, “Mizrahi Studies at the Intersection” (March 29, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/102709 102709-21805021@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 29, 2023 9:00am
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Judaic Studies

The Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies is hosting the Wieseneck Symposium, “Mizrahi Studies at the Intersection" on March 29-30 in the Michigan League's Michigan Room. The symposium will be followed by a performance by Neta Elkayam and Amit Hai Cohen at 7pm on the 30th.

This event is a part of the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies theme year “Mizrahim and the Politics of Ethnicity,” led by co-head fellows Ruth Tsoffar, U-M Professor of Comparative Literature, Women’s and Gender Studies, and Judaic Studies, and Ella Shohat, professor of Cultural Studies at New York University. This theme year brings together thirteen scholars from three countries who will explore interdisciplinary and intersectional conversations on the meaning of ethnicity in the study of Mizrahi (Arab-Jewish) culture. The group consists of a dynamic forum of scholars from a variety of disciplines aiming to reflect and further expand, diversify, and theorize the discussion of Jewish/Israeli society and culture.

This symposium aims at addressing some of the key issues raised by Mizrahi studies as conceptualized through a transnational, transregional, multidirectional, and intersectional prism. Rather than producing a Mizrahi subject in isolation, the symposium seeks to problematize any fixed understanding of Mizrahiness by highlighting the ways this concept is dynamically shaped by class, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, nation, and so forth. As such, the symposium strives to illuminate Mizrahi studies as a critical field not simply about the Mizrahim but also about decolonization of knowledge. It hopes to interrogate established categories by asking what constitutes legitimate knowledge when ways of knowing may themselves have to be reconceptualized in a discursive climate saturated with hierarchical, exclusionary, and even violent assumptions? Some additional questions posed by the symposium include: Which methodological paradigms and epistemic frameworks enable the shaping of fragmented memories into a broader and more relational narrative? What kind of obstacles do scholars face in the process of carrying out research involving archival documentation and oral transmission, when such data collection is entangled in histories of obscuring and silencing? What challenges does an academically normative discourse pose for those writing on subjects that touch on traumatic experiences and memories, at once personal, familial, and communal? And what lessons could be learned from more self-reflexive research practices and coping strategies in terms of future scholarship.

The participants will also reflect on the symposium in a closed discussion on Friday, March 31st at Rackham Graduate School.

This event is co-sponsored by the departments of Comparative Literature, Middle East Studies, Women’s Studies and Gender, Institute for Research on Women & Gender, and Anthropology.

CSAS 12th U-M Pakistan Conference: The Country and The City in Pakistan (March 31, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/101916 101916-21802924@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 31, 2023 9:00am
Location: Weiser Hall

The city and the countryside in Pakistan are crucial analytics for understanding the making of Pakistan and its post-independence trajectory, particularly in the aftermath of David Gilmartin’s Empire and Islam. In that work, Gilmartin argued that the success of the movement for Pakistan in Punjab rested on the creation and propagation of a universal Muslim identity in and from cities above hierarchical, “mediated” forms of Islam in the countryside. Importantly, like Raymond Williams’ The Country and The City, Gilmartin shows that subjectivities, practices, and institutions associated with both “modern” cities and “backward” rural spaces were produced under colonial rule by imperatives of colonial governance, social and cultural change, and politics. More recently, historians have argued that social forms and agricultural practices in rural colonial Punjab were not timeless residues but actively produced through the encounter between idioms of kinship and those of political economy. Further, historical studies have shown how rural spaces were reconfigured, reconceptualized, and reimagined through urban concepts and paradigms in the colonial period. Engaging with this scholarship’s problematizing of center and periphery, the 12th U-M Pakistan Conference will explore the productive tension and constitutive relationship between the countryside and the city in Pakistan’s past and present.

We are excited to invite you to the upcoming UX@UM 2023 conference, which will be held at the UM Marsal Family School of Education from March 31 - April 1, 2023, with additional Zoom options to watch featured speakers! This conference is a fantastic opportunity for students who are interested in user experience research and design to learn from experts, connect with peers, and explore the latest trends and research in the field.At UX@UM 2023, you will have the opportunity to attend keynote speeches and discussions, with topics ranging from the latest trends in UX design, to the ethical implications of technology, to Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence. You will also have the chance to interact and network with fellow students, industry tablers, and UM groups. But most importantly, we want to give students a platform to present their work as it relates to UX (whether it was completed inside or outside of the classroom). This is a great opportunity for students who have little to no experience presenting at a conference. We promise that you will do great! If you are interested in presenting, fill out this form, or email alexrw@umich.edu. Attendance is free, and a complimentary, catered lunch will be provided on both days of the conference. Therefore, it is important to register in advance! If you would like to volunteer for the conference, we would greatly appreciate your help in hosting rooms, facilitating lunch, and cleaning up at the end of the day.

Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of Michigan invites you to attend the 18th Annual Early Career Scientists Symposium (ECSS). This year, we are excited to announce the theme “Global Change and its Consequences for Green Life.” Green life (i.e. plants, algae, microbes) form the basis of productivity in most ecosystems. Understanding how environmental change can impact the ecology and evolution of green life on earth is critical to the future of most communities, ecosystems, and human societies.
The theme includes, but is not limited to:
1. Direct and indirect impacts of environmental change on green life survival, reproduction, and distribution
2. How green life can buffer the impact of global change
3. Evolutionary responses of green life to environmental change/stress
4. Green life functional traits and their environmental correlates
5. Agroecology

The 2023 ECSS will be held on the 31st of March 2023 at the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Garden in Ann Arbor, MI. Six early career scientists will be selected to present their work, and two keynote speakers will be featured. The symposium will also have an afternoon poster session with featured lightning talks and ample time for networking during coffee breaks.

For the chosen talks, we consider early career scientists as senior graduate students (who stand to receive their Ph.D. within two years), postdoctoral researchers, faculty or staff scientists within their first or second year, and researchers at equivalent career stages who are not affiliated with an academic institution.

Data science and AI are having a significant impact on society in uncountable ways, leading to huge benefits in many cases. Yet, increasingly complex analytical pipelines working with poorly understood heterogeneous data sets can give rise to harm in many ways. Furthermore, there could be deleterious systemic effects such as the magnification of disinformation or surveillance capitalism. There has been tremendous recent interest in understanding and managing these concerns.

This mini-symposium is part of the Future Leader Summit program, a three-day event which brings together outstanding graduate students and postdocs from around the US to engage in research discussions with peers and with research leaders, and receive career mentoring, as they grow to become future research leaders in data science and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Free and open to the public.

Society has become increasingly reliant on digital technology, but public infrastructure has not yet evolved to support and enable these social, commercial, and municipal needs. Industry migration to renewable energy and Big Data continues to alter the way we live and work, and growing demand for connected, electric, and autonomous vehicles will require more than ever-more-expensive vehicles traveling on poorly maintained, deteriorating traditional roadways. Our aging transportation infrastructure needs to be transformed and digitized to support public demands for existing technology and enable the evolution of those needs over future generations. Leveraging new approaches to digital infrastructure, data analytics, and modern financing reduces a daunting task into an approach that revolutionizes public infrastructure while incentivizing sustainable planning and implementation strategies.

A panel discussion will follow the lecture, featuring Rick Geddes, Professor, Department of Policy Analysis and Management at Cornell University, and Tim Slusser, Chief of Mobility Innovation for the City of Detroit.

Our co-sponsors include CCAT, UMTRI, Mcity, Integrated Roadways, the City of Detroit and the Cornell Program in Infrastructure Policy.

“Shaping Poetry in the Classroom” (11am-12:30pm)

Cody Walker, Lecturer IV and Director of the Undergraduate Creative Writing Program | Gillian White, Associate Professor of English | John Whittier-Ferguson, Professor of English


How do teaching methods shape the idea of what students come to understand as “poetry”? What ideas of poetry are informed by the university classroom? This panel seeks to constellate the stakes, pressures, and possibilities of reading poetry in the classroom. We ask our panelists to think about how their teaching methods shape the idea of what their students come to understand as “poetry” and “poems.”


Lunch break (12:30pm-1pm)


“Poetics Now” (1pm-2:30pm)

Khaled Mattawa, Professor of creative writing in the Helen Zell MFA Writing Program | Marianna Hagler, PhD candidate in English Language & Literature | Sergio Villalobos-Ruminott, Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures (Spanish)


What is “poetics” today? Is it a matter of reading practices, methodology, and/or shared assumptions? How has our contemporary understanding of “poetics” come into being? This panel presents multiple understandings of poetics and how we might read poems today. Speakers may address lyric, poetic genre, issues of poetry criticism, reading communities, poetry performance, poetic “difficulty,” reader reception, translation, and reading theory. The panel will also feature close readings of particular poems.

Location: Med Sci II 2817
Organized By: Sessions @ Michigan

The "Engaged Mentoring" workshop is for faculty mentors of research trainees at any stage of training. This workshop is an evidence-based, interactive approach designed to elevate mentoring skills for engaging in productive, culturally responsive research mentoring relationships. These skills will support the success of both mentors and mentees. This training is responsive to the new NIGMS guidelines regarding the preparation of mentors involved in training grants.

This workshop aims to accelerate the process of becoming an effective research mentor by providing mentors with an intellectual framework, an opportunity to experiment with various methods, and a forum in which to solve mentoring dilemmas with the help of their peers. By the end of the workshop, mentors will have articulated their style and philosophy of mentoring and have a toolbox of strategies for approaching difficult mentoring situations. This series is adapted from the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) "Entering Mentoring" curriculum (Pfund, Branchaw, and Handelsman, 2014) and "Entering Research" (Branchaw, Butz, & Smith, 2019) and adapted with permission from W.H. Freeman/Macmillan Learning.
Register for BOTH sessions within this series. The expectation is that participants will make every effort to attend both sessions in the workshop to facilitate cohort discussions. The sessions will take place in person.
Part I: Wednesday April 19, 8:30-12:30pm Med Sci II 2817Part II: Thursday April 20, 1pm-5pm, Med Sci II 2817This will be the last Engaged Mentoring Workshop of the semester. OGPS will resume these sessions in the 2023 Fall semester.

Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Every day, whether we realize it or not, we are constantly surrounded by AI technology. From self-driving cars, to facial recognition software, fraud prevention models, recommender systems, ChatGPT, etc., AI is rapidly transforming our lives. But do we fully comprehend the real range of potential ethical implications related to its use and regulation? This event will stimulate ideas and investigation into that question by bringing together academics, leaders and scientists in the private sector and policy regulation areas, to share their knowledge and discuss ethical challenges and trends in AI regulation, along with cutting-edge theory and implementation of ethical and transparent AI models. The event is free and open to all who develop AI methods, are current or future users of AI, or are curious about how AI will shape research and our society.

Organizers: as a facilitator of the development and application of data science (DS) and AI techniques for the broad U-M data science community, MIDAS is also imbued with the mission of promoting ethical research. In fact, one of the five research pillars that MIDAS supports is ‘Responsible Research’, focused on enhancing the scientific and societal impact of DS and AI, which takes place especially through fomenting the discussion and expansion of the Ethical AI field. On the other hand, as a prominent player in the private sector, Rocket Companies constantly strive for learning and applying responsible cutting-edge tools in AI. Joined with a common interest in the Ethical AI field, MIDAS and Rocket Companies are inviting you to share your views and learn together about breakthroughs and pressing issues regarding ethical AI.

Keynote presentations:

"Recognizing and Eliminating Harmful Biases in AI for Healthcare" with Jenna Wiens, Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Michigan

“Evaluation and Values in Machine Learning and NLP” with Dallas Card, Assistant Professor, School of Information, University of Michigan

"AI policy in US and EU" with Merve Hickok, President @ Center for AI & Digital Policy
