Mindfulness Meditation is a skill that can be learned and when practiced has the power to enhance a sense of wellbeing, focus, and interconnectedness. As we all continue to navigate uncertainty and challenges that are inherent in the act of being human, we benefit from and are grateful for diverse cultures and traditions across the globe. Collectively they have passed on a wide variety of contemplative practices that encourage reflection, silence, and centering into the present moment to help us cope and better respond. Engaging in contemplative practices support the individual, by cultivating a sense of awareness and well-being, and benefit society by enhancing one’s capacity to create connection and community, and to become an agent of positive social change. There are many forms of contemplative practices, including meditation. Mindfulness meditation is one form aimed to help focus our awareness on the present moment as it unfolds, moment to moment, without judgment. Research on mindfulness continues to find a wide range of benefits. In short, Mindfulness may be viewed as cognitive training that bolsters our ability to handle stress, poor mood, and threat. It also increases our capacity to focus our attention on what is most important to us and to be more compassionate to ourselves and to others.

On Wednesdays from 12:15 - 12:45 pm, we come together in community to practice this skill in an open and supportive virtual space. Whether you are new to mindfulness meditation or are an experienced practitioner each session is designed to offer guidance and support to assist you. Join this supportive community and experience the gift of present moment awareness.

The Future of Mobility & Connected Transportation with Smart Infrastructure (September 15, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85754 85754-21628677@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 15, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

Cavnue was founded with the vision of bringing mobility to everyone. In order to do that, we must expand the autonomous driving capabilities of vehicles beyond where they are today. We believe that simplifying road designs and connecting vehicles to the infrastructure will be an important element in bringing autonomous technology to scale and making safer roads for everyone.

Billions have been invested to date, yet all we see are a few autonomous vehicle pilots running in cities across the country. How will fully driverless cars change mobility forever? What makes the technology so hard? How will connected vehicles and smart infrastructure play a part in bringing this technology to the world? This talk will create a conversation around these questions.

Cognitive Science Seminar Series (September 15, 2021 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85989 85989-21630645@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 15, 2021 2:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

The Cognitive Science Seminar Series is an informal gathering of graduate students and faculty from multiple departments with an interest in presenting and discussing cognitive science topics.

This week, guest speaker Dr. Lauren Margulieux will be joining us from Georgia State University for a virtual talk titled "Building Theory in STEM Education Research: Encoding Strategies Theory and Multiple Conceptions Theory."

ABSTRACT
The computing education research field frequently calls for theory-building work to better explain the mechanisms of how people learn computer science. This talk discusses two theories that have been developed based on a synthesis of work across multiple fields to explain phenomena frequently seen in computing education. The first theory, Spatial Encoding Strategy theory, proposes a mechanism to explain how spatial skill training improves generalized problem solving while all other forms of brain training produce only localized results. It draws upon work in computing education, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and learning sciences. The second theory, Multiple Conceptions theory, proposes a mechanism to explain how both direct instruction and constructivist instructional approaches can be designed to guarantee successful results. It draws upon instructional approaches from various STEM fields and educational psychology. The talk concludes with the synthesis process used to develop these theories.

Bio: Lauren Margulieux is an Assistant Professor of Learning Sciences at Georgia State University. She received her Ph.D. from Georgia Tech in Engineering Psychology, the study of how humans interact with technology. Her research interests are in educational technology and online learning, particularly for computing education. She also coordinates an initiative in Georgia State’s teacher preparation programs to integrating computing into pre-service teacher training in all disciplines and directs a computer science endorsement to certify in-service teachers to offer computing courses.

Abstract:

Chromosomal instability (CIN) results in the accumulation of large-scale losses, gains, and rearrangements of DNA. The broad genomic complexity caused by CIN is a hallmark of cancer, however, there is no systematic framework to measure different types of CIN and their impact on clinical phenotypes. Here, we evaluate the extent, diversity and origin of chromosomal instability across 7,880 tumors representing 33 cancer types from the TCGA collection. We present a compendium of 17 copy number signatures characterizing specific types of CIN, with putative aetiologies supported by multiple independent data sources. The signatures predict drug response and identify new drug targets. Our framework refines the understanding of impaired homologous recombination, one of the most therapeutically targetable types of CIN. Our results illuminate a fundamental structure underlying genomic complexity and provide a resource to guide future CIN
research in human cancers.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Center for Applied and Interdisciplinary Mathematics

Smooth random functions of very many variables can be topologically very complex, and thus it can be terribly hard to find their minimum.One does not need to look very far for such an example: pick at random a homogeneous polynomial of degree p (with p larger than 3) of a large number of variables and restrict it to the (high-dimensional) unit sphere. Important examples of such functions include many Hamiltonians of statistical mechanics in disordered media (as Spin Glasses or Random Interfaces in high disorder). They can also include the loss functions of high dimensional inference problems, and naturally the landscapes defined by Machine Learning.

We will cover some of the recent progress in our understanding of both questions: the statics or geometric question about the topological complexity and the transition to simple landscapes (the so-called topological trivialization), as well as the dynamics and optimization questions.

Organized By: Department of Economics

Abstract:
This paper develops a new approach to classifying heterogeneous workers and jobs and demonstrates that traditional methods may understate the effects of labor market shocks on workers. Our key innovation is a new method for identifying high degrees of latent worker and job heterogeneity directly from data, without relying on covariates like education or occupation. Building upon tools from network theory, we classify workers and jobs into a large number of latent “worker types” and “markets,” re-spectively, by exploiting the network structure of worker–job links in linked employer-employee data. Intuitively, two workers belong to the same worker type if they have similar probabilities of being employed by particular jobs, and two jobs belong to the same market if they have similar probabilities of hiring particular workers. We use discrete choice methods to infer the productivity of each worker type when matched with each market using the logic that worker–job matches that pay more and occur more frequently in equilibrium reveal themselves to be more productive. We embed this method within a general equilibrium model with sectoral demand shocks to perform counterfactuals. We show that our worker types and markets are better able to predict wage changes in response to the 2016 Olympics than are occupations. Finally, we show that traditional ways of defining worker heterogeneity and exposure to shocks may underestimate the effect of shocks on workers by as much as a factor of 4.

Michael McDermott’s brand of rock and roll brims with the kind of well-honed style and wisdom that can only come from a career on the road and a pedigree in the studio. Effortlessly blending natural folk sensibility, pop hooks, and honest rock, Michael's music is as much for the outcast as the congregation. It’s an exploration of the dark corners of life’s journey and it resonates middle class truths through the passionate filter of a kid that grew up on Chicago’s Irish South Side. If you are a fan of Springsteen, Van Morrison, John Steinbeck, Patti Smith, Michael McDermott's inspirational rock is in your wheelhouse, waiting late night with a guitar, spare smokes and stories of the American heart.

Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

Beat the cold Michigan winters and study abroad somewhere else next year. The Tübingen program, which is organized through the Center for Global and Intercultural Studies (CGIS), takes place in the Winter term, and it is intended for students who have completed at least German 221/231 by the end of the Fall 2021 term.

The German Department strongly recommends that you precede your stay in Tübingen by attending one or two four-week sessions at the Goethe Institut. This Goethe Institut segment is not part of the CGIS program itself. Please talk with Mary or Kalli about the Goethe segment (GermanAdvising@umich.edu).

The CGIS portion in Tübingen will start early in March with a mandatory "Kompaktkurs" (6 credits) or a "Startkurs" (3 credits). While you will be enrolled for the Winter 2022 term at the University of Michigan, you will then take classes during "Sommersemester" at the Universität Tübingen (mid April - late July). You will earn 15-18 credits for Winter 2022: the courses that you take in Tübingen can be language courses for international students or regular university courses. Various university courses outside the English Department are taught in English.

Tübingen credits can be used to satisfy degree requirements for a German major or minor.

Please note that you must attend a First Step session in order to study abroad with CGIS. During the Winter term, First Step sessions are offered every Monday through Friday from 12-12:30 p.m. virtually: https://lsa.umich.edu/cgis/news-events/all-events.detail.html/74423-21060571.html#occurrences

Over the last 12-18 months, the world has wit­nessed the bru­tal impact of the COVID-19 pan­demic com­pounded by sys­temic racism as it pro­lif­er­ated across the US, threat­en­ing to sti­fle its vibrant and diverse soci­ety. Stu­dents and youth in the US and glob­ally have been at the fore­front of social change devis­ing mod­els of inclu­sion and care for those deeply impacted by the pan­demic and racial and envi­ron­men­tal inequities.
Stamps Gallery invited stu­dents at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to design posters and make videos that respond to the prompt: what change would you like to see in your community? Stamps students created meaningful posters and video work that will be featured in Respond/​Resist/​Rethink 2021: A Stu­dent Poster & Video Exhi­bi­tion.
Why posters & video?
For gen­er­a­tions, posters have served as an effec­tive tool to cir­cu­late ideas and mes­sages to the pub­lic. Visu­ally strik­ing, and designed to draw atten­tion from passersby, posters can be con­ver­sa­tion starters, invite peo­ple to pause, reflect, spread the word, get involved. They have been a pow­er­ful medium for many con­cep­tual artists and graphic design­ers to cre­ate pow­er­ful images and mes­sages that could respond to imme­di­ate issues and be dis­trib­uted widely.
Sim­i­larly, video art was another excit­ing imme­di­ate medium for con­cep­tual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the tech­nol­ogy became more acces­si­ble to the masses. Video art pro­vided an alter­na­tive to the dom­i­nant broad­cast­ing cor­po­ra­tions. Artists made exper­i­men­tal films, recorded per­for­mances, and first-per­son nar­ra­tives that were then exhib­ited and screened at gal­leries, muse­ums, and events. Posters and videos con­tinue to be salient fea­tures in the 21st Cen­tury to respond to urgent issues and ques­tions fac­ing the present moment.
Respond / Resist / Rethink asks the UM com­mu­nity to come together to envi­sion mod­els for inclu­sion that are grounded in equal­ity, belong­ing, and empathy. The work featured in the exhibition were selected through an open call by a com­mit­tee comprising Stamps fac­ulty, stu­dents, and staff includ­ing Julianna Lew, David Chung, Najwat Rehman, Albert Che, and Stamps Gallery staff.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Stamps Gallery is proud to present the first survey of renowned transmedia artist Stephanie Dinkins, who creates platforms for dialogue about artificial intelligence as it intersects race, gender, aging, and our future histories.
Through her work, Dinkins has become a central figure nationally and internationally recognized for exposing bias and inequity within artificial intelligence systems. Weaving together art production and exhibition, community-based workshops and public speaking all with the intention of encouraging action towards making artificial intelligence systems more inclusive, accessible and transparent.
In this exhibition, Dinkins will debut new and interactive installations and workshops that build on her concept of Afro-now-ism. In this poetic manifesto-like text, Dinkins asks her audience, particularly from communities of color, to not only confront the litany of violences that humans have wielded upon one another based on the institutional and social constructions of race, caste, class, and gender to maintain status quo and the current systems of power - but rise above it by taking action to start building the world that they desire.
She writes: “Instead of waiting to reach the proverbial promised land, also known as a time in the future that may or may not manifest in your lifetime, Afro-now-ism is taking the leap and the risks to imagine and define oneself beyond systemic oppression... For black people in particular, it means conceiving yourself in the space of free and expansive thought and acting from a critically integrated space, allowing for more community-sustaining work.”
Through her installations and workshops Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data develops a dialogue with the audience on the hierarchies embedded within machine learning and AI architecture and one's individual agency in transforming the algorithms within it. The audience will explore and participate in creating a more inclusive data-based narrative of what governance of the people, by the people and for the people can look like in an AI mediated world where care is encoded within our digital civic system.

As part of a new national policy of “making persons” (hitozukuri) who could support Japan’s rapid economic growth, in the mid-1960s Japan's Ministry of Education adopted a new objective centered on fostering students as “reliable human figures” (kitai sareru ningenzō). Despite the explicit legal prohibition regarding religious education in Japan’s constitution, policy makers clearly expected public schools to inculcate both personal piety and professional diligence as part of this new orientation. This talk shows how public education aligned with religious indoctrination as policy wonks temporarily partnered with clerics to advance a type of non-confessional training known as “religious sentiment education” (shūkyō jōsō kyōiku).

Jolyon Thomas is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of Faking Liberties: Religious Freedom in American-Occupied Japan (2019) and Drawing on Tradition: Manga, Anime, and Religion in Contemporary Japan (2012).

The Departmental Seminar Series is open to all. U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.

Title:
Unbiased Subdata Selection for Fair Classification: A Unified Framework and Scalable Algorithms

Abstract:
Fair classification concerns the issues of unintentional biases against the sensitive features (e.g., gender, race) in the conventional classification approaches. Due to the high nonconvexity of fairness measures, existing methods are often unable to model exact fairness, which can cause inferior fair classification outcomes. This paper fills the gap by developing a novel unified framework to jointly optimize accuracy and fairness. The proposed framework is versatile and can incorporate different fairness measures precisely as well as can be applicable to many classifiers, including deep classification models. Many classification models within this framework can be recast as mixed-integer convex programs, which can be solved effectively by off-the-shelf solvers when the instance sizes are moderate. We prove that in the proposed framework, when the classification outcomes are known, the resulting problem, termed “unbiased subdata selection,” is strongly polynomial-solvable and can be used to enhance the classification fairness by selecting more representative data points. This motivates us to develop an iterative refining strategy (IRS) to solve the large-scale instances, where we improve the classification accuracy and conduct the unbiased subdata selection in an alternating fashion. We numerically demonstrate that the proposed framework can consistently yield better fair classification outcomes than existing methods. This is a joint work of my Ph.D. student Qing Ye.

“Systems biology approaches to drug discovery for cancer and aging”

Abstract:

“Omics” technologies have enabled network-level measurements of genes, proteins, and metabolites from cellular models of disease. Systems biology attempts to synthesize these quantitative measurements into data-driven models to explain biological function and identify targeted therapeutic drugs. Here, I will discuss three different engineering systems biology approaches using metabolomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics to identify or discover drugs for cancer and aging. First, using metabolomics, we designed a synergistic drug combination that mimics nutrient deprivation to kill cancer cells. Second, by integrating a proteomic signature of cellular senescence with large-scale drug screening databases, we predicted and then validated that EGFR inhibitors are toxic to a model of cellular aging, specifically senescent human mammary epithelial cells. Finally, we developed a bioinformatic approach to integrate gene expression data with drug screening data from hundreds of cancer cell lines to identify clinically approved drugs whose efficacy depends on metabolic pathway activity. Taken together, these studies demonstrate how metabolomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics can all serve to identify drugs for cancer and aging.

Stephanie Dinkins cre­ates plat­forms for dia­logue about arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence as it inter­sects race, gen­der, aging, and our future histories.
Through her work, Dink­ins has become a cen­tral fig­ure nation­ally and inter­na­tion­ally rec­og­nized for expos­ing bias and inequity within arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence sys­tems. Weav­ing together art pro­duc­tion and exhi­bi­tion, com­mu­nity-based work­shops and pub­lic speak­ing all with the inten­tion of encour­ag­ing action towards mak­ing arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence sys­tems more inclu­sive, acces­si­ble and transparent.
In her Stamps talk, Dinkins will discuss her new and inter­ac­tive instal­la­tions and work­shops that build on her con­cept of Afro-now-ism and how her work devel­ops a dia­logue with the audi­ence on the hier­ar­chies embed­ded within machine learn­ing and AI archi­tec­ture and one’s indi­vid­ual agency in trans­form­ing the algo­rithms within it.
The first sur­vey of renowned trans­me­dia artist Stephanie Dink­ins' work is on view at Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.) through October 23, 2021.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

In the late 1600s, English mapmaker William Hacke masterfully produced multiple copies of a manuscript atlas drawn from captured Spanish sea charts. One copy of these atlases is now held at the University of Michigan Clements Library. In this episode of the Bookworm, past Fellows Chet Van Duzer and Danny Zborover discuss their research on these 17th century sources. Van Duzer will explain indications of the locations of shipwrecks in Hacke Atlases—and how information about the treasure on those wrecks was later added (a change inspired by William Phips’ spectacular recovery of treasure from a Spanish wreck in 1687.) Zborover shares his research focused on the deep roots of entanglements between the Chontal Indigenous people in southern Mexico, and English, French, and Dutch pirates. He considers the Clements’ Hacke Atlas to be “one of the most instructive sources for our understanding of these Pacific coast colonial interests.”

Organized By: Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program

Bipolar Disorder is a human condition characterized by recurrent manias and depression; an earlier term for bipolar disorder was manic depressive illness. Changes in energy levels and sleep patterns are prominent features in bipolar, very high energy with little need for sleep in manias and low energy with disrupted sleep during depressions. The cause of bipolar remains an enigma, scientists know plenty about the brain, but they simply don’t know why people develop bipolar or why they experience an episode at any given time.

The philosophy of the Prechter program embraces a pluralistic view to causality. There are many causes and contributing factors behind this condition. A precipitating or causal element of an episode today may not be as prominent in a later episode. There are many scientific disciplines behind the emerging sciences of bipolar and the challenge will be to integrate the emerging knowledge over time to help individuals and families that live with this condition.

Over the last 12-18 months, the world has wit­nessed the bru­tal impact of the COVID-19 pan­demic com­pounded by sys­temic racism as it pro­lif­er­ated across the US, threat­en­ing to sti­fle its vibrant and diverse soci­ety. Stu­dents and youth in the US and glob­ally have been at the fore­front of social change devis­ing mod­els of inclu­sion and care for those deeply impacted by the pan­demic and racial and envi­ron­men­tal inequities.
Stamps Gallery invited stu­dents at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to design posters and make videos that respond to the prompt: what change would you like to see in your community? Stamps students created meaningful posters and video work that will be featured in Respond/​Resist/​Rethink 2021: A Stu­dent Poster & Video Exhi­bi­tion.
Why posters & video?
For gen­er­a­tions, posters have served as an effec­tive tool to cir­cu­late ideas and mes­sages to the pub­lic. Visu­ally strik­ing, and designed to draw atten­tion from passersby, posters can be con­ver­sa­tion starters, invite peo­ple to pause, reflect, spread the word, get involved. They have been a pow­er­ful medium for many con­cep­tual artists and graphic design­ers to cre­ate pow­er­ful images and mes­sages that could respond to imme­di­ate issues and be dis­trib­uted widely.
Sim­i­larly, video art was another excit­ing imme­di­ate medium for con­cep­tual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the tech­nol­ogy became more acces­si­ble to the masses. Video art pro­vided an alter­na­tive to the dom­i­nant broad­cast­ing cor­po­ra­tions. Artists made exper­i­men­tal films, recorded per­for­mances, and first-per­son nar­ra­tives that were then exhib­ited and screened at gal­leries, muse­ums, and events. Posters and videos con­tinue to be salient fea­tures in the 21st Cen­tury to respond to urgent issues and ques­tions fac­ing the present moment.
Respond / Resist / Rethink asks the UM com­mu­nity to come together to envi­sion mod­els for inclu­sion that are grounded in equal­ity, belong­ing, and empathy. The work featured in the exhibition were selected through an open call by a com­mit­tee comprising Stamps fac­ulty, stu­dents, and staff includ­ing Julianna Lew, David Chung, Najwat Rehman, Albert Che, and Stamps Gallery staff.

Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data (September 17, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84616 84616-21624243@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 17, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Stamps Gallery is proud to present the first survey of renowned transmedia artist Stephanie Dinkins, who creates platforms for dialogue about artificial intelligence as it intersects race, gender, aging, and our future histories.
Through her work, Dinkins has become a central figure nationally and internationally recognized for exposing bias and inequity within artificial intelligence systems. Weaving together art production and exhibition, community-based workshops and public speaking all with the intention of encouraging action towards making artificial intelligence systems more inclusive, accessible and transparent.
In this exhibition, Dinkins will debut new and interactive installations and workshops that build on her concept of Afro-now-ism. In this poetic manifesto-like text, Dinkins asks her audience, particularly from communities of color, to not only confront the litany of violences that humans have wielded upon one another based on the institutional and social constructions of race, caste, class, and gender to maintain status quo and the current systems of power - but rise above it by taking action to start building the world that they desire.
She writes: “Instead of waiting to reach the proverbial promised land, also known as a time in the future that may or may not manifest in your lifetime, Afro-now-ism is taking the leap and the risks to imagine and define oneself beyond systemic oppression... For black people in particular, it means conceiving yourself in the space of free and expansive thought and acting from a critically integrated space, allowing for more community-sustaining work.”
Through her installations and workshops Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data develops a dialogue with the audience on the hierarchies embedded within machine learning and AI architecture and one's individual agency in transforming the algorithms within it. The audience will explore and participate in creating a more inclusive data-based narrative of what governance of the people, by the people and for the people can look like in an AI mediated world where care is encoded within our digital civic system.

Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

This event is being offered in response to student feedback about their experiences at the University of Michigan and ongoing efforts to build community amongst HBCU alumni.The format of the event will model the Restorative Circle process. A circle is a versatile restorative practice that can be used proactively, to develop relationships and build community or reactively, to respond to wrongdoing, conflicts, and problems. Circles give people an opportunity to speak and listen to one another in an atmosphere of safety, decorum, and equality. The circle process allows people to tell their stories, offer their own perspectives, and provides an opportunity for information exchange and relationship development.
Goals of the Session:

Build community among HBCU students at U-M
Learn about your experiences as a U-M student
Identify unmet needs and additional resources for HBCU students

Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/Plb0R.

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

In this 90-minute online workshop, publishing consultant and developmental editor Laura Portwood-Stacer will guide participants through the often opaque world of scholarly book publishing, providing the clarity you need in order to approach publishers and pitch your book with confidence. Topics covered in the workshop will include the acquisitions process for scholarly books, how to select presses to ensure the best response, and when and how to approach editors (and how many to approach). The workshop will also cover the differences between an "advance" contract and a "full" contract and how to ensure that your book pitch doesn't sound like an unrevised dissertation. Supplemental handouts and worksheets will be provided to all participants.

On Friday, October 29, Mairym Lloréns Monteserín of the University of Southern California will present "Co-speech vocal tics produced by adults with Tourette syndrome are sensitive to prosodic structure."

ABSTRACT
Speech planning and production takes place in a body beset by urges. An urge to x is a sensation of discomfort that worsens until x is performed. It is common for talkers to experience urges to cough/yawn/etc. while they are speaking but very little is known about how these two fundamentally different modes of control over vocal behavior interact. My research is currently focused on understanding if and how urge-based systems that have the potential to wrest control over vocal-respiratory articulators are coordinated with co-occurring speech at different time-scales/levels of prosodic hierarchy. The vocal tics produced by adults living with the neurological condition Tourette syndrome provide a unique opportunity to investigate this topic because they occur frequently. Vocal tic noises, words and phrases are produced in order to satisfy an urge and they are completely unrelated to a ticcer-talker's linguistic and communicative goals. For my dissertation, I collected a corpus of acoustic recordings of adults performing a battery of speech tasks while ticcing freely, that is, while refraining from suppressing their own tics. By removing the need for active suppression, tic and speech motor systems are free to coordinate or compete in a naturalistic fashion. In this talk I will present an analysis of the relationship between prosodic structure and the timing of co-speech tic events. The distribution of tic events shows that tics are sensitive to prosodic structure at the level of intonational phrases (at least). I interpret these results to suggest that a higher-level task coordinates tic utterances with phrase boundaries. Implications for our understanding of speech planning in light of such “meta-prosody” are discussed.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Economics

Abstract:
Choice screen auctions have been recently deployed in 31 European countries, allowing consumers to choose their preferred search engine on Google’s Android platform instead of being automatically defaulted to Google’s own search engine. I show that a seemingly minor detail in the design of these auctions—whether they are conducted on a “per appearance” or a “per install” basis—plays a major role in the mix and characteristics of auction winners, and, consequently, in their expected overall market share. I also show that “per install” auctions distort the incentives of alternative search engines toward extracting as much revenue as possible from each user who installs them, at the expense of lowering the expected number of such users. The distortion becomes worse as the auction gets more competitive and the number of bidders increases. Empirical evidence from Android choice screen auctions conducted in 2020 is consistent with my theoretical results.

HET Seminar | The Impact of a Midband Gravitational Wave Experiment On Detectability of Cosmological Stochastic Gravitational Wave Backgrounds (September 17, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86118 86118-21632221@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 17, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics

I will discuss the impact of a future midband gravitational wave experiment on improving detectability of a cosmologically sourced stochastic GW background. Specific proposed midband experiments considered are TianGo, B-DECIGO and AEDGE. We propose a combined power-law integrated sensitivity (CPLS) curve combining GW experiments over different frequency bands, which shows significant improvement in sensitivity to SGWBs with the aid of a midband experiment. We consider GW emission from cosmic strings and phase transitions as benchmark examples of cosmological SGWBs. We explicitly model various astrophysical SGWB sources, most importantly from unresolved black hole mergers. Based on analysis using Markov Chain Monte Carlo, we demonstrated that midband experiments can, when combined with LIGO A+ and LISA, can significantly improve sensitivities to cosmological SGWBs and better separate them from astrophysical SGWBs

The session will run for 10 weeks from September 10 to November 19, 2021. Participants will meet weekly on Fridays from 4-5 p.m.

Our certified Speech-Language Pathologists use techniques to help non-native English speakers feel more confident in their communications – whether that’s giving a presentation, or taking notes in a class with a native speaker who speaks fast. The goal of the program is not to eliminate a client’s accent, but to enhance communication skills for greater self-assurance in any setting.

Participants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction. If the group workshop does not work with your schedule, please contact us; individual consultations are available.

What to Expect
* An initial meeting focusing on setting your personal goals and objectives.
* Both group and individual activities.
* Exercises for improving articulation, rate control, and projection.
* Increased confidence in social and professional interactions.
* Guidance from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist.

Register by filling out the form here: https://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bg6tZhShXwx5IfH

If you have questions or need assistance, please call (734) 764-8440.

Details
When: 4-5 p.m. Fridays, September 10-November 19, 2021 (no session on October 1)

Over the last 12-18 months, the world has wit­nessed the bru­tal impact of the COVID-19 pan­demic com­pounded by sys­temic racism as it pro­lif­er­ated across the US, threat­en­ing to sti­fle its vibrant and diverse soci­ety. Stu­dents and youth in the US and glob­ally have been at the fore­front of social change devis­ing mod­els of inclu­sion and care for those deeply impacted by the pan­demic and racial and envi­ron­men­tal inequities.
Stamps Gallery invited stu­dents at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &amp; Design to design posters and make videos that respond to the prompt: what change would you like to see in your community? Stamps students created meaningful posters and video work that will be featured in Respond/​Resist/​Rethink 2021: A Stu­dent Poster &amp; Video Exhi­bi­tion.
Why posters &amp; video?
For gen­er­a­tions, posters have served as an effec­tive tool to cir­cu­late ideas and mes­sages to the pub­lic. Visu­ally strik­ing, and designed to draw atten­tion from passersby, posters can be con­ver­sa­tion starters, invite peo­ple to pause, reflect, spread the word, get involved. They have been a pow­er­ful medium for many con­cep­tual artists and graphic design­ers to cre­ate pow­er­ful images and mes­sages that could respond to imme­di­ate issues and be dis­trib­uted widely.
Sim­i­larly, video art was another excit­ing imme­di­ate medium for con­cep­tual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the tech­nol­ogy became more acces­si­ble to the masses. Video art pro­vided an alter­na­tive to the dom­i­nant broad­cast­ing cor­po­ra­tions. Artists made exper­i­men­tal films, recorded per­for­mances, and first-per­son nar­ra­tives that were then exhib­ited and screened at gal­leries, muse­ums, and events. Posters and videos con­tinue to be salient fea­tures in the 21st Cen­tury to respond to urgent issues and ques­tions fac­ing the present moment.
Respond / Resist / Rethink asks the UM com­mu­nity to come together to envi­sion mod­els for inclu­sion that are grounded in equal­ity, belong­ing, and empathy. The work featured in the exhibition were selected through an open call by a com­mit­tee comprising Stamps fac­ulty, stu­dents, and staff includ­ing Julianna Lew, David Chung, Najwat Rehman, Albert Che, and Stamps Gallery staff.

Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data (September 18, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84616 84616-21624244@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, September 18, 2021 11:00am

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Stamps Gallery is proud to present the first survey of renowned transmedia artist Stephanie Dinkins, who creates platforms for dialogue about artificial intelligence as it intersects race, gender, aging, and our future histories.
Through her work, Dinkins has become a central figure nationally and internationally recognized for exposing bias and inequity within artificial intelligence systems. Weaving together art production and exhibition, community-based workshops and public speaking all with the intention of encouraging action towards making artificial intelligence systems more inclusive, accessible and transparent.
In this exhibition, Dinkins will debut new and interactive installations and workshops that build on her concept of Afro-now-ism. In this poetic manifesto-like text, Dinkins asks her audience, particularly from communities of color, to not only confront the litany of violences that humans have wielded upon one another based on the institutional and social constructions of race, caste, class, and gender to maintain status quo and the current systems of power - but rise above it by taking action to start building the world that they desire.
She writes: “Instead of waiting to reach the proverbial promised land, also known as a time in the future that may or may not manifest in your lifetime, Afro-now-ism is taking the leap and the risks to imagine and define oneself beyond systemic oppression... For black people in particular, it means conceiving yourself in the space of free and expansive thought and acting from a critically integrated space, allowing for more community-sustaining work.”
Through her installations and workshops Stephanie Dinkins: On Love &amp; Data develops a dialogue with the audience on the hierarchies embedded within machine learning and AI architecture and one&#039;s individual agency in transforming the algorithms within it. The audience will explore and participate in creating a more inclusive data-based narrative of what governance of the people, by the people and for the people can look like in an AI mediated world where care is encoded within our digital civic system.

Saturday Sampler tours are back! We've missed you and are thrilled to be offering our Saturday Sampler tours virtually. Join us over Zoom to explore the Kelsey Museum from the comfort of your home.

The theme of this week's tour is "Looking at Greek Vases."
Pottery has been described as the “tail that wags archaeology” because it has been found in such abundant quantities at excavation sites around the world. This tour focuses on some of the ancient Greek vases on display at the Kelsey Museum. While examining these often beautiful vases, we consider the clues they give about their uses as well as what they reveal about the ancient Greeks themselves.

Eddie from Ohio, actually a quartet from Virginia, offers lyrically driven and often humorous original music, sung in four-part harmonies over a background of acoustic strings and hand and stick percussion. Their vocal blend, rhythmic vigor, and prolific original material combine to make music unlike anything else on the market—sort of like Peter, Paul & Mary on high-octane French roast, they say. "The manic strumminess recalls Ani DiFranco or Dave Matthews," says Performing Songwriter, "but there's also a deep undercurrent of high, lonesome mountain harmony that should appeal to fans of Alison Krauss and Union Station." The Edheads will be out in force for this show (get tickets early), because Eddie from Ohio isn't on the road as often as they used to be. Whenever and wherever the four convene on stage, an Eddie from Ohio show is an experience to remember.

Riders in the Sky, recently celebrated their 40th anniversary, but they're not slowing down—that wouldn't be the Cowboy Way! The Riders roll on with their mix of Western song classics and zany send-ups of these. What sometimes gets overlooked amid the hilarity is that Ranger Doug (Idol of American Youth), Woody Paul (King of the Cowboy Fiddlers), Joey (the Cowpolka King), and Too Slim (Licensed Driver) are matchless musicians, with a huge and growing stock of old and new songs to draw on as they deepen a great American tradition. And can Keith Urban do rope tricks on stage? Ranger Doug was an Ann Arborite once upon a time, and the group's Ark shows have been uniformly terrific. Riders In The Sky are the only exclusively Western artist to have won a Grammy (twice). That the band was even formed is a feat of improbable likelihood. What are the odds that a theoretical plasma physicist, a wildlife manager–galvanizer–Life Scout, an English major–shot putter–Bluegrass Boy, and a Polka Hall of Fame member would collectively become "America's Favorite Cowboys"?

Social, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): The Green Books and the Geography of Segregation in Public Accommodations (September 20, 2021 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/85461 85461-21626480@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 20, 2021 11:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Economics

Abstract:
Jim Crow segregated African Americans and whites by law and practice. The causes and implications of the associated de jure and de facto residential segregation have received substantial attention from scholars, but there has been little empirical research on racial discrimination in public accommodations during this time period. We digitize the Negro Motorist Green Books, important historical travel guides aimed at helping African Americans navigate segregation in the pre-Civil Rights Act United States. We create a novel panel dataset that contains precise geocoded locations of over 4,000 unique businesses that provided non-discriminatory service to African American patrons between 1938 and 1966. Our analysis reveals several new facts about discrimination in public accommodations that contribute to the broader literature on racial segregation. First, the largest number of Green Book establishments were found in the Northeast, while the lowest number were found in the West. The Midwest had the highest number of Green Book establishments per black resident and the South had the lowest. Second, we combine our Green Book estimates with newly digitized county-level estimates of hotels to generate the share of non-discriminatory formal accommodations. Again, the Northeast had the highest share of non-discriminatory accommodations, with the South following closely behind. Third, for Green Book establishments located in cities for which the Home Owner’s Loan Corporation (HOLC) drew residential security maps, the vast majority (nearly 70 percent) are located in the lowest-grade, redlined neighborhoods. Finally, Green Book presence tends to correlate positively with measures of material well-being and economic activity.

Why come?

Because information is power. ECE is challenging, and therefore will put you in the driver’s seat when it comes to your career. It brings job security, flexibility, many career options, and great pay.
But what do electrical and computer engineers do anyway?

We do everything! We are there in all electronic devices (cell phones, computers, cars, appliances, etc). We are in electronic communication, networking, power, energy, sensors, and much more. We make things smart – we make them move. We send and decode information – we connect people and things. And we light up the world – efficiently of course!

Basically – we make (almost) everything that matters. And we are master innovators! We hope you can come and learn more!

*Zoom information will be provided once registration has been completed*

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Physics

The KL —> pi0 nu nu-bar decay is one of the sensitive probes to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. Because the branching ratio predicted by the Standard Model (3 x 10^{-11}) and its theoretical uncertainty are small, a small deviation from the prediction would signify an existence of new physics. Although the decay mode is theoretically clean, it is difficult to observe experimentally. Not only because the observable particles are limited to two photons from the pi0, backgrounds should be controlled and understood to the level of O(10^-{11}). In this talk, I will briefly review several experimental ideas in the past, explain how the current J-PARC KOTO experiment started and progressed, and show some future plans.

Stripe is a set of tools for building and running an internet business. We help businesses accept payments from anyone, anywhere, and build new kinds of companies like Lyft or Kickstarter. Internally, we say our goal is to increase the GDP of the internet---we want to bring more businesses online worldwide.

In everything we do, we put our users first. We work hard to build the cleanest, most robust APIs possible so that our users can focus on building great products. There's always something more we can do---we're constantly seeking out areas of our product we can improve.

We're building a company with folks from all sorts of backgrounds, who make great coworkers and who share and exemplify a few core values: people who are humble, respectful, inclusive, and ready to roll up their sleeves and get important work done for our users. If that's you, we'd love to talk!

In this session, we will start with a 10 minute overview of Stripe, then go into a panel with 1-2 female engineers, then have Q&A.

Panel, Material Responsibility: Mollie Claypool, Dana Cupkova, and Achim Menges (September 21, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86538 86538-21634788@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 21, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Material Responsibility discusses issues of contemporary material fabrication in context to social, environmental, and construction related challenges. Researchers, designers, and builders assume the mantle of responsibility to address inherited legacies in everyday practices. This event tries to unravel not only assumptions about what and how we build, but also looks to question why, to situate our motivations and impact. In moving away from practices that simply justifies the present moment, the discussion on Material Responsibility aims to identify where our responsibilities lie in the complex global systems and networks that make up our contemporary practice.

Presentations from Mollie Claypool (The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL), Dana Cupkova (Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture), and Achim Menges (University of Stuttgart Institute for Computational Design and Construction), will be followed by a panel discussion with Taubman College faculty.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Underrepresented Outperformers: Female Legislators in the Chinese Congress: A presentation of collaborative research by Yue Hou, Xinrui Feng and Mingxing Liu (September 21, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84724 84724-21624491@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 21, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Please register for this Zoom webinar here: https://myumi.ch/0WKd9

Dr. Hou, and her research collaborators, present one of the first studies of the political behavior of female members of China's national legislature - the National People's Congress (NPC). Female legislators have consistently held about 20% of seats in the NPC in the past two decades because of a gender quota, but they sponsor about 44% of all legislative bills and more than half of bills relevant to women's rights and interests in the 12th NPC. Among sponsors, women on average sponsor more bills (4.8 bills) than men (3.1 bills). They propose three potential mechanisms that drive women's comparative productiveness: (i) women are more collaborative than their male colleagues; (ii) the gender quota and non-Communist Party quota produce a particularly active female group; and (iii) female leadership encourages female participation. They next analyze 2,365 bills submitted during the 12th NPC and show that female legislators are not only more engaged in women's issues; they are also disproportionately more active than men in the traditionally "male dominated'' areas including economics and finance, foreign affairs, rural affairs and environmental issues. Their findings suggest that a socialist legacy alone does not narrow the political gender gap; underrepresented regime outsiders (women) have strategically used the "double-quota'' system and collaborated to carve out a place to amplify their voices, outperform insiders, and shape the policy debate.

Yue Hou is the Janice and Julian Bers Assistant Professor in the Social Sciences in the Political Science Department at the University of Pennsylvania. She is also affiliated with Penn’s Center for the Study of Contemporary China. Her research interests include political economy and authoritarian politics, with a regional focus on China. Her work has appeared in the Journal of Politics, Journal of Experimental Political Science, Quarterly Journal of Political Science, Journal of Comparative Economics, Social Science Quarterly and China Leadership Monitor, and has been featured in the New York Times, Boston Review and South China Morning Post. Her first book, “The Private Sector in Public Office: Selective Property Rights in China” (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics, Cambridge University Press, 2019), addresses the long-standing puzzle of how China’s private sector manages to grow without secure property rights. She also writes articles for Chinese media outlets including the Southern Weekly and Tencent ipress. She received her PhD in Political Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and BA in Economics and Mathematics from Grinnell College.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Following the enthusiastic reception of the three art history courses that I taught in Fall 2020 and Winter 2021, I am offering Art History IV, which continues the history of art and architecture with the courtly art of the Carolingian and Ottonian empires as well as the unrestrained exuberance of Hiberno-Saxon art in the British Isles and Scandinavian art of the 9th through 11th centuries. A goal of the course is to practice "close looking," in order to understand the multiples meanings of the art. The course will interest learners who have traveled in Western Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean. Molly Lindner leads this course on Tuesdays September 21 through October 26 from 2:00 - 3:30 pm. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.

*By purchasing a ticket you agree that you and your guests will comply with all laws, orders, ordinances, regulations and health and safety guidance adopted by the State of Michigan, the County of Washtenaw and The Ark, including any guidelines in place at the time of the show. Attendees who do not comply will be asked to leave. Policies will be updated as circumstances and requirements change in our community. Please review The Ark’s current COVID-related information before attending a show.*

Joe Troop is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. During his decade in Buenos Aires, Argentina, he formed the group Che Apalache with three of his students. The band’s second album, Rearrange My Heart, was produced by legendary genre-bender, banjoist Béla Fleck and received a GRAMMY nomination for Best Folk Album in 2020. Unfortunately, the pandemic has made international touring all but impossible, forcing Che Apalache into hiatus.

Working in a style dubbed “latingrass,” Joe melds music from the Appalachian foothills with traditional soundscapes from across Latin American. He composes wry and well-traveled acoustic music, sung in English and Spanish. Wrenching old-time music into the world of contemporary global politics, Joe creates spaces for sympathy, solidarity, and a little humor. His new solo album featuring Charlie Hunter, Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn, Tim O’Brien and many more superb musicians will be released in late summer.

There is a common misconception, even among some astronomers, that there is little left to discover in our Solar System. However, many mysteries still remain even about our cosmic backyard. Do we have another, hidden planet? Was there life on Venus, Mars, or even an icy ocean moon?

We will cover recent, exciting research from the Sun to beyond Pluto, as well as any questions you have about the Solar System. This study group will last for 13 weeks and will be a combination of online lectures and student-driven discussions/learning. No previous math, physics, or astronomy knowledge is required.

Larissa Markwardt is a 5th year graduate student at UM. She studies special asteroids called Trojans, which are orbital companions to most of our planets.

Race and Technology: Women of Color and the Digital Labor of Repair (September 22, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/87355 87355-21641509@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 22, 2021 10:00am

Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

Women of color make our digital products. They assemble them in Asian factories and their cheap labor has made the tech industry’s innovation possible. This presentation focuses on their immaterial and knowledge work that contributes directly to the Internet’s usability. Women of color on social media and gaming platforms contribute unpaid labor to call out misogyny, violations of user agreements, and hateful behavior. They lead our most effective and important campaigns against racism from their keyboards. This is piecework in the classical sense, squeezed in between paid work and leisure, it is unpaid, but it is productive. It is unpaid not because it is not valuable, but because of the type of person who is doing it, a type of person who is not treated as a person. This labor of digital repair is exactly the kind of labor that can’t be automated or outsourced.

This presentation will analyze three examples of young women of color’s work as digital documentarians of public racism on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram using a comparative critical race studies approach. Join Lisa Nakamura, founding Director of the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan and P.I. of the DISCO: Digital Inquiry, Speculation, Collaboration, and Optimism Network, a 3-year Mellon-funded 4.8 million dollar collaborative higher education grant, to discuss anti-racist platform building, maintenance, and repair.

Together, you’ll explore:

The history of women’s, children’s, and transgender people’s labor as community leaders (CL’s) from America Online to Instagram how they model a high-touch mutual aid-informed digital culture of care.
Theoretical and speculative approaches to anti-racist platform alternatives
Racial and gendered solidarities and intimacies on visual digital social platforms

Curricular and co-curricular design experiences are an increasingly popular mechanism for delivering opportunities for students to connect technical engineering knowledge to professional skills, such as teamwork, fabrication, communication, and design ability. As such, ensuring equal participation in design activities is a critical aspect of team-based pedagogies. In this research, using data from 12 student design teams in a first-year cornerstone design course, I describe a novel approach to examining the nature of working relationships in student teams. I use the multilayer exponential random graph model (ERGM) to examine perceptions of contributions (i.e., whether one is contributing ideas to their team) and enactments (i.e., whether one’s ideas are being utilized).

The purpose of this talk is both to introduce the multilayer ERGM as novel approach to understanding teamwork in engineering, as well as to draw on this method to describe processes of inequity in undergraduate engineering education experiences. I conclude with implications for future
research and practice.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Over the last 12-18 months, the world has wit­nessed the bru­tal impact of the COVID-19 pan­demic com­pounded by sys­temic racism as it pro­lif­er­ated across the US, threat­en­ing to sti­fle its vibrant and diverse soci­ety. Stu­dents and youth in the US and glob­ally have been at the fore­front of social change devis­ing mod­els of inclu­sion and care for those deeply impacted by the pan­demic and racial and envi­ron­men­tal inequities.
Stamps Gallery invited stu­dents at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &amp; Design to design posters and make videos that respond to the prompt: what change would you like to see in your community? Stamps students created meaningful posters and video work that will be featured in Respond/​Resist/​Rethink 2021: A Stu­dent Poster &amp; Video Exhi­bi­tion.
Why posters &amp; video?
For gen­er­a­tions, posters have served as an effec­tive tool to cir­cu­late ideas and mes­sages to the pub­lic. Visu­ally strik­ing, and designed to draw atten­tion from passersby, posters can be con­ver­sa­tion starters, invite peo­ple to pause, reflect, spread the word, get involved. They have been a pow­er­ful medium for many con­cep­tual artists and graphic design­ers to cre­ate pow­er­ful images and mes­sages that could respond to imme­di­ate issues and be dis­trib­uted widely.
Sim­i­larly, video art was another excit­ing imme­di­ate medium for con­cep­tual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the tech­nol­ogy became more acces­si­ble to the masses. Video art pro­vided an alter­na­tive to the dom­i­nant broad­cast­ing cor­po­ra­tions. Artists made exper­i­men­tal films, recorded per­for­mances, and first-per­son nar­ra­tives that were then exhib­ited and screened at gal­leries, muse­ums, and events. Posters and videos con­tinue to be salient fea­tures in the 21st Cen­tury to respond to urgent issues and ques­tions fac­ing the present moment.
Respond / Resist / Rethink asks the UM com­mu­nity to come together to envi­sion mod­els for inclu­sion that are grounded in equal­ity, belong­ing, and empathy. The work featured in the exhibition were selected through an open call by a com­mit­tee comprising Stamps fac­ulty, stu­dents, and staff includ­ing Julianna Lew, David Chung, Najwat Rehman, Albert Che, and Stamps Gallery staff.

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

Stamps Gallery is proud to present the first survey of renowned transmedia artist Stephanie Dinkins, who creates platforms for dialogue about artificial intelligence as it intersects race, gender, aging, and our future histories.
Through her work, Dinkins has become a central figure nationally and internationally recognized for exposing bias and inequity within artificial intelligence systems. Weaving together art production and exhibition, community-based workshops and public speaking all with the intention of encouraging action towards making artificial intelligence systems more inclusive, accessible and transparent.
In this exhibition, Dinkins will debut new and interactive installations and workshops that build on her concept of Afro-now-ism. In this poetic manifesto-like text, Dinkins asks her audience, particularly from communities of color, to not only confront the litany of violences that humans have wielded upon one another based on the institutional and social constructions of race, caste, class, and gender to maintain status quo and the current systems of power - but rise above it by taking action to start building the world that they desire.
She writes: “Instead of waiting to reach the proverbial promised land, also known as a time in the future that may or may not manifest in your lifetime, Afro-now-ism is taking the leap and the risks to imagine and define oneself beyond systemic oppression... For black people in particular, it means conceiving yourself in the space of free and expansive thought and acting from a critically integrated space, allowing for more community-sustaining work.”
Through her installations and workshops Stephanie Dinkins: On Love &amp; Data develops a dialogue with the audience on the hierarchies embedded within machine learning and AI architecture and one&#039;s individual agency in transforming the algorithms within it. The audience will explore and participate in creating a more inclusive data-based narrative of what governance of the people, by the people and for the people can look like in an AI mediated world where care is encoded within our digital civic system.

Daniel Tahmizian is a visual storyteller that calls Toronto (Tkaronto), Canada home. In the nearly 15 years in the film and TV industry he’s worked across many genres and mediums but focuses mainly on documentary, comedy, and music. Daniel’s short films have played around the world including his short “Being Andy Serkis” which won the 2018 Canadian Comedy Award for Best Short Film. As a director of photography and camera operator his work has been broadcast on stations like Vice TV, CBC, Fashion Television, and Much Music.

“The Wanderer” is a modern silent short film that follows our title character as he emerges from a lone tree into a vast rural landscape. A man out of time and space the Wanderer moves through a world completely foreign to him encountering different forms of consciousness. Told in the style of multiple parables that speak to the nature of time and presence, the film is inspired by the writings of William Blake and Taoist literature. Ultimately, “The Wanderer” is a simple story about living in the moment.

CCPS Lecture. Translating Pan Tadeusz: A Conversation with Bill Johnston (September 22, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86159 86159-21631749@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 22, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

This interactive talk will offer a practitioner’s reflections on the making of a new translation of Adam Mickiewicz’s 1834 narrative poem *Pan Tadeusz*, widely referred to as “Poland’s national epic.” We’ll talk about the challenges presented, and the questions posed, by this particular act of translation, including those of imagined and actual readership; the role of aesthetic pleasure in the reading experience; and translation as trespass.

Bill Johnston’s rhyming verse translation of Adam Mickiewicz’s epic poem *Pan Tadeusz* (Archipelago Books, 2018) won the 2019 National Translation Award in Poetry and the 2019 AATSEEL Translation Prize. Johnston’s other awards include the Found in Translation Award for Tomasz Różycki’s mock epic poem *Twelve Stations* (Zephyr Press, 2015), as well as the PEN Translation Prize and the Best Translated Book Award, both for Wiesław Myśliwski’s novel *Stone Upon Stone* (Archipelago Books, 2010). He has also translated the work of Julia Fiedorczuk, Tadeusz Różewicz, Magdalena Tulli, Andrzej Stasiuk, and Jerzy Pilch, among others. He has held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts (twice), the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Guggenheim Foundation. In 2014 he was awarded the Transatlantyk Prize for contributions to the promotion of Polish literature abroad. He teaches literary translation at Indiana University.

As part of the CEW+Inspire initiative, CEW+ holds mindful meditation sits virtually on Wednesdays at 12:15.

RSVP here to receive the Zoom link: https://myumi.ch/r8zv7

Mindfulness Meditation is a skill that can be learned and when practiced has the power to enhance a sense of wellbeing, focus, and interconnectedness. As we all continue to navigate uncertainty and challenges that are inherent in the act of being human, we benefit from and are grateful for diverse cultures and traditions across the globe. Collectively they have passed on a wide variety of contemplative practices that encourage reflection, silence, and centering into the present moment to help us cope and better respond. Engaging in contemplative practices support the individual, by cultivating a sense of awareness and well-being, and benefit society by enhancing one’s capacity to create connection and community, and to become an agent of positive social change. There are many forms of contemplative practices, including meditation. Mindfulness meditation is one form aimed to help focus our awareness on the present moment as it unfolds, moment to moment, without judgment. Research on mindfulness continues to find a wide range of benefits. In short, Mindfulness may be viewed as cognitive training that bolsters our ability to handle stress, poor mood, and threat. It also increases our capacity to focus our attention on what is most important to us and to be more compassionate to ourselves and to others.

On Wednesdays from 12:15 - 12:45 pm, we come together in community to practice this skill in an open and supportive virtual space. Whether you are new to mindfulness meditation or are an experienced practitioner each session is designed to offer guidance and support to assist you. Join this supportive community and experience the gift of present moment awareness.

Organized By: Center for Educational Outreach

Join us for the University Outreach Council's (UOC) September event: "A National Crisis - Responding to the Decreased Numbers in Admissions," held on September 22 from 1:00 - 2:30 PM (EST).

We will be reflecting on this topic with three main speakers:
- Audrey Williams June, the News-Data Manager of The Chronicle of Higher Education. She is the author of “Spring Enrollment’s Final Count Is In. Colleges Lost 600,000 Students,” which analyzed data from the National Clearinghouse from this last year.
- Ryan Fewins-Bliss, the Executive Director of the Michigan College Access Network. Ryan has worked in education and the nonprofit field for more than 15 years having served in K-12, higher education, and community organizations.
- Erica Sanders, the Director of the U-M Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Sanders has also been the director of recruitment and operations, director of review and evaluations, and assistant director for out-of-state recruitment.

A national and state-wide topic of interest, we will discuss this topic with a few U-M speakers on a more local level and brainstorm solutions on how your pre-college programs can ensure positive admissions experiences and increase the likelihood of students applying to college after your programs. This is a great opportunity to hear about best practices from experts and exchange ideas with peers.

Afghanistan Series. Flowers, Love and the Landscape of Violence: Queering War in Afghanistan (September 22, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86696 86696-21635595@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 22, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

Join us on Wednesday, September 22nd at 1:00 PM ET for a conversation with Dr. Ahmad Qais Munhazim on Flowers, Love and the Landscape of Violence: Queering War in Afghanistan.

This event is free and open to all. Register at https://myumi.ch/wlkNq

In the last two decades, representation of Afghans and Afghanistan has been rendered to a people and landscape in void of love and life. In the heteropatriarchal and orientalist depictions, Afghan women have remained as the historically oppressed and devotedly loveless while Afghan men move between the violently masculine and categorically weak. The non-binary, trans and queer Afghans have remained invisible. These depictions have justified the continued war in Afghanistan and its subsequent everyday violence. Through a de/colonial and visual ethnography of Afghans and Afghanistan , Flowers, Love and the Landscape of Violence queers the war and Afghans’ lived experiences of violence in the country. Dr. Ahmad Qais Munhazim will offer alternative lenses and methodologies to understand Afghan masculinities, femininities, queerness and the in-betweens.

Dr. Ahmad Qais Munhazim, genderqueer, Afghan, Muslim and perpetually displaced, is an assistant professor of global studies at the Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. Qais was born and raised in Kabul, Afghanistan. Qais’ work troubles borders of academia, activism and art while exploring everyday experiences of displacements and war/conflicts in the lives of queer and trans Afghans.

This event is a part of a series on Afghanistan, presented by the Global Islamic Studies Center; cosponsored by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies, Arab and Muslim American Studies, and American Culture, the Center for South Asian Studies, the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender, The Spectrum Center, the Department Communication & Media, and Middle East Studies.

Motawi Tileworks was founded in 1992, and it has grown into a company employing more than 40 people, who specialize in handcrafted tiles in Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, and Midcentury Modern aesthetics, as well as other unique designs.

Motawi art tiles are currently sold in more than 300 locations in the U.S. and Canada, and Motawi tile installations grace homes and public spaces worldwide.

After graduating from the University of Michigan’s Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, Nawal Motawi moved to Detroit to learn tile-making at the renowned Pewabic Pottery. She later returned to Ann Arbor, where she began creating historically inspired tile in her garage and selling it at the local farmer’s market. And that’s only the beginning of her story!

Nawal Motawi, owner and artistic director of Motawi Tileworks in Ann Arbor, will share with us her stories of the company’s unique history and early beginnings, creative process and business strategies. She’ll share the company’s philosophy and how Motawi Tileworks has become a creative beacon of light in our community and around the world.

Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed prior to the event.

Abstract:

Histones are small proteins that package DNA into chromosomes, and a large number of studies have showed that several post-translational modification (PTM) sites on the histones are associated with both gene activation and silencing. Along with DNA and small non-coding RNA, histone PTMs make up epigenetic mechanisms that control gene expression patterns outside of DNA sequence mutations. Dysregulation of these chromatin networks underlie several human diseases such as cancer. Here I will give an update on technology advancements that have allowed for high-throughput quantitative analyses of histone PTMs and chromatin structure, and how we are applying these methods to understand epigenetic reprogramming found in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). MPNST is an aggressive sarcoma with recurrent loss of function alterations in polycomb-repressive complex 2 (PRC2), a histone-modifying complex involved in transcriptional silencing.

Why network? Career networking is an important way to learn more about fields you’re interested in, find new opportunities, and advance your career. In fact, LinkedIn reports that 61% of professionals agree that regular online interaction with their professional network can open up possible job opportunities. We’ll cover the essentials of how to introduce yourself, grow authentic connections, and build an active network.

This hour-long workshop will consist of a live virtual discussion led by Hub coaches, ways to approach conversations with others, examples of things to say while networking, individual work time, and an introduction to LSA Connect— the college’s career networking and mentoring platform.

A liberal arts and/or sciences (LSA) student
New to networking or hoping for some additional pointers
Torn between career paths or wanting to explore your career interests
Seeking tips on how to introduce yourself to professionals in industries you’re interested in exploring
Looking to form long-lasting connections with potential mentors

What you’ll gain by attending:
Learn about the overarching purpose and goals of networking
Discuss your concerns around networking and strategize on how to address them
Identify what networks you already have access to and who you want to connect with
Brainstorm effective introductory messages to grow your network

Moderate Interaction
Video and audio presence is preferred
The event will be a mixture of interactive activities and passive viewing

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Economics

Abstract: Monetary and fiscal authorities reacted swiftly to the COVID-19 pandemic by purchasing assets (or "Wall Street QE") and lending directly to non-financial firms (or "Main Street Lending"). Our paper develops a new framework to compare and contrast these different policies. For the Great Recession, characterized by impaired balance sheets of financial intermediaries, Main Street lending and Wall Street QE are perfect substitutes and both stimulate aggregate demand. In contrast, for the COVID-19 recession, where non-financial firms faced significant cash flow shortages, Wall Street QE is almost completely ineffective, whereas Main Street lending can be highly stimulative.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Psychology Undergraduates

Just as being a graduate student is very different from being an undergraduate so are the ways in which you figure out which programs are the best fit for you, and successfully apply for them. This session will be especially relevant to juniors and seniors in the process of researching and applying to graduate school: How to find the right programs, how to structure your personal statement and get strong recommendation letters, do you have to take the GRE – and what if you don’t score as well as you’d like? However, we’ll also talk about what you should be doing to prepare as early as your sophomore or even freshman year. We’ll have both a short presentation and a panel of graduate students, including those who have recently served on admissions committees.

The Thunder Bay Folk Festival is a weekend event held at the Alpena Antique Tractor Showgrounds located at 6850 French Rd, Alpena, Michigan.

This is truly a family-friendly event with something for everyone. We have Musicians jamming in the jam tent, or around their campsites on Friday and Live Music on Saturday.

Our goal is to put on a first-class music festival right here in NE Michigan. We book popular bands from around the state and occasionally have artists from as far away as Chicago. Another goal was to provide a venue for our many, many talented musicians close by to perform, and with that in mind, we always have a fine selection of these local artists.

Musical genres range from 60’s folk/rock, bluegrass, country, faux-grass, blues, and always great dance tunes. Don’t let the title “folk” confuse you. We feel that folk music encompasses all these genres and more!

Over the last 12-18 months, the world has wit­nessed the bru­tal impact of the COVID-19 pan­demic com­pounded by sys­temic racism as it pro­lif­er­ated across the US, threat­en­ing to sti­fle its vibrant and diverse soci­ety. Stu­dents and youth in the US and glob­ally have been at the fore­front of social change devis­ing mod­els of inclu­sion and care for those deeply impacted by the pan­demic and racial and envi­ron­men­tal inequities.
Stamps Gallery invited stu­dents at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &amp; Design to design posters and make videos that respond to the prompt: what change would you like to see in your community? Stamps students created meaningful posters and video work that will be featured in Respond/​Resist/​Rethink 2021: A Stu­dent Poster &amp; Video Exhi­bi­tion.
Why posters &amp; video?
For gen­er­a­tions, posters have served as an effec­tive tool to cir­cu­late ideas and mes­sages to the pub­lic. Visu­ally strik­ing, and designed to draw atten­tion from passersby, posters can be con­ver­sa­tion starters, invite peo­ple to pause, reflect, spread the word, get involved. They have been a pow­er­ful medium for many con­cep­tual artists and graphic design­ers to cre­ate pow­er­ful images and mes­sages that could respond to imme­di­ate issues and be dis­trib­uted widely.
Sim­i­larly, video art was another excit­ing imme­di­ate medium for con­cep­tual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the tech­nol­ogy became more acces­si­ble to the masses. Video art pro­vided an alter­na­tive to the dom­i­nant broad­cast­ing cor­po­ra­tions. Artists made exper­i­men­tal films, recorded per­for­mances, and first-per­son nar­ra­tives that were then exhib­ited and screened at gal­leries, muse­ums, and events. Posters and videos con­tinue to be salient fea­tures in the 21st Cen­tury to respond to urgent issues and ques­tions fac­ing the present moment.
Respond / Resist / Rethink asks the UM com­mu­nity to come together to envi­sion mod­els for inclu­sion that are grounded in equal­ity, belong­ing, and empathy. The work featured in the exhibition were selected through an open call by a com­mit­tee comprising Stamps fac­ulty, stu­dents, and staff includ­ing Julianna Lew, David Chung, Najwat Rehman, Albert Che, and Stamps Gallery staff.

Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data (September 23, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84616 84616-21624246@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 23, 2021 11:00am

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Stamps Gallery is proud to present the first survey of renowned transmedia artist Stephanie Dinkins, who creates platforms for dialogue about artificial intelligence as it intersects race, gender, aging, and our future histories.
Through her work, Dinkins has become a central figure nationally and internationally recognized for exposing bias and inequity within artificial intelligence systems. Weaving together art production and exhibition, community-based workshops and public speaking all with the intention of encouraging action towards making artificial intelligence systems more inclusive, accessible and transparent.
In this exhibition, Dinkins will debut new and interactive installations and workshops that build on her concept of Afro-now-ism. In this poetic manifesto-like text, Dinkins asks her audience, particularly from communities of color, to not only confront the litany of violences that humans have wielded upon one another based on the institutional and social constructions of race, caste, class, and gender to maintain status quo and the current systems of power - but rise above it by taking action to start building the world that they desire.
She writes: “Instead of waiting to reach the proverbial promised land, also known as a time in the future that may or may not manifest in your lifetime, Afro-now-ism is taking the leap and the risks to imagine and define oneself beyond systemic oppression... For black people in particular, it means conceiving yourself in the space of free and expansive thought and acting from a critically integrated space, allowing for more community-sustaining work.”
Through her installations and workshops Stephanie Dinkins: On Love &amp; Data develops a dialogue with the audience on the hierarchies embedded within machine learning and AI architecture and one&#039;s individual agency in transforming the algorithms within it. The audience will explore and participate in creating a more inclusive data-based narrative of what governance of the people, by the people and for the people can look like in an AI mediated world where care is encoded within our digital civic system.

Based upon his latest book, Professor Samuels will explore the history of the Japanese intelligence community from the late 19th to the early 21st centuries across wars and peace. He will examine where matters stand today now that the Japanese government has begun to enhance intelligence reform.

Richard J. Samuels is Ford International Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for International Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2005 he was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and in 2011 he received the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star, an Imperial decoration awarded by the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese Prime Minister. From 2015 to 2019 he was an Albert Einstein Visiting Fellow at the Free University of Berlin, where he completed Special Duty: A History of the Japanese Intelligence Community (Cornell University Press-- and, in translation, Nikkei Books). Special Duty was named one of the “Best of Books, 2019” by the journal Foreign Affairs.

In 2013, Cornell University Press published his book about the political and economic effects of Japan’s March 2011 catastrophes: 3.11: Disaster and Change in Japan. Dr. Samuels’ prior book, Securing Japan: Tokyo’s Grand Strategy and the Future of East Asia, was named one of the five finalists for the 2008 Lionel Gelber Prize for the best book in international affairs. Another, Machiavelli’s Children: Leaders and Their Legacies in Italy and Japan, a comparative history of leadership in Italy and Japan, won the 2004 Jervis-Schroeder Prize for the best book in International History and Politics from the American Political Science Association.

His 1994 study, “Rich Nation, Strong Army”: National Security and the Technological Transformation of Japan won the 1996 John Whitney Hall Prize of the Association of Asian Studies and the 1996 Arisawa Memorial Prize of the Association of American University Presses.

DEI Lecture Series: Stereotyping, implicit bias, and the experiences of women and underrepresented minorities in STEM (September 23, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86288 86288-21632589@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 23, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Engineering

Learning how to recognize and prevent our own bias from having negative impacts is a lifelong practice. Stereotype threat is the risk of confirming negative stereotypes about an individual's racial, ethnic, gender, or cultural group which can create high cognitive load and reduce academic focus and performance.

Experimental research on implicit bias and stereotype threat has revealed the powerful influence of negative stereotypes on women and URM people in STEM.   

This work reveals differential evaluation of women vs. men and majority vs. URM groups, and shows the influence of a more “chilly” or negative climate for members of groups targeted by negative stereotypes.  

U-M Professor Denise Sekaquaptewa will describe social science research findings regarding the experiences of White women and underrepresented racial/ethnic minority (URM) people in STEM fields and discuss recommendations for institutional change that can help create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all.

Organized By: U-M Industrial & Operations Engineering

The Departmental Seminar Series is open to all. U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.

Title: Spectral Models for Air Transportation Networks


Abstract:
Air transportation networks are canonical examples of highly interconnected and complex systems. Furthermore, these societal-scale infrastructures generate large amounts of data upon which decisions regarding operational safety, efficiency, and reliability must be made. Therefore, understanding the characteristics of performance measures such as air traffic delays is critical for developing ways to mitigate their significant economic and environmental impacts. I will focus on network behavior and performance during disruptions (e.g., thunderstorms, nor’easters, hurricanes), and discuss how airport delays can be viewed as graph-supported signals, amenable to a variety of spectral and graph signal processing-based methods. Through this analysis, I characterize the spatial distribution of delays across a network of airports, highlighting key differences in delay dynamics between different types of disruptions and among different airline networks. I will then touch on some recent work regarding low-dimensional representations of airport network delays and how to use these representations to develop control and traffic flow management strategies. Finally, I will discuss some interdisciplinary research directions of interest to me, such as the integrated modeling of air-surface multi-modal transportation networks and emerging aerospace mobility systems (e.g., UAS/AAM).

Communication between the nervous system and immune system is vital for maintaining health yet remains difficult to probe with precise temporal and spatial resolution. Our lab develops electrochemical and microfluidic methods, to close this critical gap in measurement science, to probe neurochemical signaling within and between the brain and immune system. Specifically, we have developed new electrochemical methods and electrode materials for fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) detection which have enabled us to expand these tools to new analytes involved in neuroimmune communication and other analytes previously not studied with real-time electrochemical techniques. FSCV is a classic electroanalytical technique most often used in the brain to study neurotransmitter signaling on a 100-ms timescale; however, our lab has pushed the boundaries of this technique by expanding its use to study neurochemical events in immune organs like the lymph node. In addition, combining FSCV with microengineered platforms has provided us an experimental platform to probe neurotransmitter signaling in multiple organs simultaneously ex vivo during communication. This talk will highlight some of our recent work in this area on method development and the application of these methods to study new biology.

Critically acclaimed poet Brian Teare writes from the intersection of environmental thought, queer experience, and disability. His most recent book, *Doomstead Days*, offers a series of walking meditations on our complicity with the climate crisis, poems that document the interdependence of human and environmental health by using fieldwork and archival research to situate embodiment and chronic illness within bioregional and industrial histories. As *the New York Times* noted, “Teare’s voices let us weigh the insoluble questions of how to live as an ethical being in the face of violence and environmental collapse.” *Doomstead Days* won the 2020 Four Quartets Prize and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle, Kingsley Tufts, and Lambda Literary Awards.

A 2020 Guggenheim fellow, Teare is the author of five previous books, including *Companion Grasses* and *The Empty Form Goes All the Way to Heaven*. His honors include the Brittingham Prize and Lambda Literary and Publishing Triangle Awards, as well as fellowships from the NEA, the Pew Foundation, the American Antiquarian Society, and the MacDowell Colony. Teare has a BA in English and Creative Writing from the University of Alabama, an MFA from Indiana University, and was a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University. He taught creative writing in the San Francisco Bay Area for over a decade before moving to Philadelphia, where he taught at Temple University. Now an Associate Professor of Poetry at the University of Virginia, he lives in Charlottesville, where he makes books by hand for his micropress, Albion Books.

Andrea Zittel (September 23, 2021 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86076 86076-21631373@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 23, 2021 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Andrea Zit­tel​’s sculp­tures and instal­la­tions trans­form every­thing nec­es­sary for life — eat­ing, sleep­ing, bathing, and social­iz­ing — into art­ful exper­i­ments in liv­ing. Blur­ring the lines between life and art, Zit­tel’s projects extend to her own home and wardrobe. Wear­ing a sin­gle out­fit every day for an entire sea­son, and con­stantly remod­el­ing her home to suit chang­ing demands and inter­ests, Zit­tel con­tin­u­ally rein­vents her rela­tion­ship to her domes­tic and social envi­ron­ment. Influ­enced by Mod­ernist design and archi­tec­ture from the early twen­ti­eth cen­tury, the artist’s one-woman mock orga­ni­za­tion, A – Z Admin­is­tra­tive Ser­vices, devel­ops fur­ni­ture, homes, and vehi­cles for con­tem­po­rary con­sumers with a sim­i­lar sim­plic­ity and atten­tion to order. Seek­ing to attain a sense of free­dom through struc­ture, Zit­tel is more inter­ested in reveal­ing the human need for order than in pre­scrib­ing a sin­gle uni­fy­ing design prin­ci­ple or style.
Zittel’s most recent body of work consists of creating structural furniture pieces in planar configurations. These pieces make use of flat surfaces and right angles in minimal shapes and with a limited color palette. Her furniture pieces often feature many of her other works, such as weavings and wool tapestries which give warmth to the harshness of steel and aluminum.
Zit­tel’s work has been exhib­ited inter­na­tion­ally in gal­leries, muse­ums, and bien­nales includ­ing the New Museum of Con­tem­po­rary Art (NYC), the Museum of Con­tem­po­rary Art (CA), San Fran­cisco Museum of Mod­ern Art (CA), Museum of Mod­ern Art, Guggen­heim Museum (NYC), and the Whit­ney Museum of Amer­i­can Art, among oth­ers. She is also co-orga­nizer of High Desert Test Sites, a non-profit that sup­ports exper­i­men­tal art projects in the Joshua Tree region.Note: This is a special archival release of content that has never before been shared online.
