Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

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!

Applied Microeconomics | Industrial Organization: Roadblock or Accelerator? The Effect of Electric Vehicle Subsidy Elimination (September 24, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86846 86846-21636921@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 24, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Economics

Abstract: Federal and state governments in many countries subsidize early adopters of electric vehicles (EVs) to promote green technology. These programs use different approaches such as quotas and deadlines to end the subsidies, creating complicated incentives for car manufacturers. This paper demonstrates the complex effect of the elimination designs on the EV market penetration, prices, and welfare in the US electric vehicle market. I develop a structural model of the consumer vehicle choice and manufacturer's pricing decisions in the US automobile industry. I estimate the model using industry data from 2011-2017 on new vehicle registrations, prices, characteristics, and subsidies to identify demand elasticities, network effects, and marginal costs. Based on the model primitives, I conduct counterfactual simulations to compare alternative subsidy elimination designs for EV market penetration, prices, and welfare.

Craft Lecture: Writing Climate Crisis (September 24, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84016 84016-21619584@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 24, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Zell Visiting Writers Series

Login here (no pre-registration needed): https://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters

Zell Visiting Writers Series craft lectures are free and open to the public, and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in Angell Hall #3154). Seats at the in-person events are capacity-limited and offered on a first come, first served basis; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact kotziers@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.


This craft lecture will lay out just a few of the craft problems that face those of us who write about climate crisis – including dramatic shifts in scale, data-heavy research, polemic, anthropocentric melodrama, and the risk of abstracting a crisis global in scale. It will also propose some ways to address and counter these craft problems – which are also conceptual issues with serious political implications – without over-simplifying or ignoring the consequences of each solution.

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.

For any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs, please email kotziers@umich.edu-- we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you. The building, event space, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. A lactation room (Angell Hall #5209), reflection room (Haven Hall #1506), and gender-inclusive restroom (Angell Hall 5th floor) are available on site. ASL interpreters and CART services at in-person events are available upon request; please email kotziers@umich.edu at least two weeks prior to the event, whenever possible, to allow time to arrange services.

Statistics Department Seminar Series: Erick Matsen, Professor, Public Health Sciences Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (September 24, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84417 84417-21637073@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 24, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Statistics

Abstract: Phylogenetic (evolutionary tree) inference is a key tool for understanding evolutionary systems. This includes viral adaptation and genomic epidemiology, as well as the antibody response to infection and vaccination. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis allows us to assess and integrate out tree uncertainty to obtain more reliable estimates of other model variables of interest (e.g. transmission rates). However, Bayesian posterior distributions on phylogenetic trees remain difficult to sample despite decades of effort. The complex discrete and continuous model structure of trees means that recent inferential methods developed for Euclidean space are not easily applicable to the phylogenetic case. Thus, we are left with random-walk Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) with uninformed tree modification proposals; these traverse tree space slowly because phylogenetic posteriors are concentrated on a small fraction of the very many possible trees.

In this talk, I will describe our work to design new scalable approaches to inferring the Bayesian posterior on phylogenetic trees. This includes establishing a new discrete inferential target, which we call the "subsplit directed acyclic graph," and a new algorithm that will allow us to infer this structure using methods analogous to much faster maximum-likelihood (point-estimate) methods for phylogenetics. I will also describe how, once this structure is in hand, we can perform variational inference via stochastic gradient descent.


Dr. Frederick “Erick” Matsen is an expert in computational biology, which is the science of using biological data to develop computer algorithms, or programs, to understand biological systems and relationships. His research team has developed new methods to analyze data generated by sequencing the DNA of viruses, immune cells and complex environmental samples containing many microorganisms. The team also pursues more abstract questions about the methods used to construct evolutionary trees. Another focus of Dr. Matsen’s work is on improving software used in computational biology, both by developing open source tools and by contributing to work on larger, collaborative projects.

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 & 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.

Enactments of Queer of Color Critique (September 24, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87145 87145-21639092@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 24, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of History

The Global Theories of Critique (GTC) workshop this year revolves around the practice of un-disciplining knowledge. Each speaker will open up the session with the body of theory and/or practice they strive to un-discipline and challenge in their work. Followed by a round-table discussion of the speakers’ work that the participants will read beforehand. All meetings are on Zoom, and open to the public.

Our first event will be reading the recent work of Prof. Chandan Reddy on the topic of "Enactments of Queer of Color Critique." Prof. Reddy is Associate Professor in the Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality and the Department of Comparative History of Ideas, at the University of Washington. His research interests lie in Asian American Studies, Global Studies, Queer Studies, Sexuality, Critical Race Theory and Globalization Studies, where he explores the themes of gender, sexuality and race focusing on specific problems and issues relevant to these areas of study. He is the author of Freedom with Violence Race, Sexuality, and the US State (Duke UP, 2011).

MCDB Seminar: Unraveling the Function of the Sorting Adaptor Complex AP-4 in Health and Disease (September 24, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85317 85317-21626220@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 24, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location

Host: Ming Li

Heterotetrameric adaptor protein (AP) complexes play key roles in protein sorting and transport vesicle formation in the endomembrane system of eukaryotic cells. One of these complexes, AP-4, was identified over 20 years ago but, up until recently, its function remained unclear. AP-4 associates with the trans-Golgi network (TGN) through interaction with small GTPases of the ARF family. Recent studies identified the autophagy protein ATG9A as a specific AP-4 cargo. Defective export of ATG9A from the TGN in AP-4-deficient cells was shown to reduce ATG9A delivery to pre-autophagosomal structures, impairing autophagosome maturation. In addition, mutations in AP-4-subunit genes were found to cause neurological dysfunction in mice and a form of complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia referred to as 'AP-4-deficiency syndrome' in humans. These findings demonstrated that mammalian AP-4 is required for the development and function of the central nervous system, possibly through its role in the sorting of ATG9A for the maintenance of autophagic homeostasis. In my talk, I will review the properties and functions of AP-4, and discuss how they might explain the clinical features of AP-4 deficiency.

CCN Forum: How We Integrate Motivational Value to Guide Cognitive Control (September 24, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86036 86036-21631227@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 24, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location

Motivation is a powerful process that shapes decision-making and goal-directed behavior in daily life, yet the precise neural and computational mechanisms that underlie the interaction between motivation and cognitive control are not well understood. An outstanding question relates to the integrated and dissociable influences of diverse incentives on cognitive control allocation. In my talk, I will present data from two lines of research that address the following questions: 1) How are different categories of incentives (e.g., primary, secondary) integrated to influence cognitive control task performance? And 2) To what extent does the valence of incentives (e.g., positive vs negative) differentially influence the type of effort strategy utilized during cognitive control allocation? First, I will present findings from a human fMRI study utilizing a novel incentive integration paradigm which provides a powerful investigative tool to examine the integrated influence of monetary rewards and liquid incentives (e.g., juice, neutral solution, saltwater) on cognitive task performance. We find evidence that the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex encodes the subjective motivational value signal of “bundled” incentives (i.e., a “neural common currency” reflecting the combined value from monetary and liquid incentives) to modulate motivated task performance. Next, I will present results from behavioral and fMRI studies utilizing an innovative self-paced incentivized Stroop task examining how monetary rewards versus penalties guide divergent strategies for adaptive control allocation. Using a normative model based on the Expected Value of Control, we find a striking dissociation in that reward incentives facilitate attention-related strategies (increased drift rate), whereas penalty incentives facilitate inhibition-related strategies (increased threshold). Preliminary fMRI results suggest dissociable neural mechanisms underlie both attention-related and inhibition-related strategies. Finally, I highlight current directions investigating how such motivation-control interactions change across the adult lifespan, and how a greater understanding of these interactions may help inform motivation-related impairments in psychiatric disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety).

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Carlene VanVoorhies, DIA Docent, will take us on a virtual tour to learn the complex and intriguing story behind Diego Rivera and his Detroit Industry Murals. The “Detroit Industry Murals” (1932-1933) are a series of frescoes by the Mexican artist Diego Rivera, consisting of twenty-seven panels depicting industry at the Ford Motor Company and in Detroit.

Together they surround the interior Rivera Court in the Detroit Institute of Arts. Painted between 1932 and 1933, they were considered by Rivera to be his most successful work. On 23 April 2014, the “Detroit Industry Murals” were designated by the Department of Interior as a National Historic Landmark.

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

The bubble of nothing is a gravitational instanton that can be thought of as describing tunneling through a vanishing scalar potential barrier to a vacuum at infinity. I will discuss generalizations of this process to nonzero scalar potentials with metastable de Sitter vacua. In simple cases, approximate bubble-of-nothing solutions can be constructed analytically. More generally, the problem can be formulated as a set of CdL equations with singular boundary conditions and solved numerically.

This event has been rescheduled for October 29.

In the last decade, India has seen a massive uptake in the adoption, and frequency of technology use by citizens, making social media a primary means of information access for a large part of the Indian citizenry. This talk uses three instances of coordinated online misinformation around the COVID-19, the 2021 farmer protests, and the demise of a movie star to highlight ways in which social media has become a feeder channel for mainstream media in India. I show that in each case, misinformation related to the primary event was crafted to engage alternate targets – including communities, activists, political actors, or celebrities, and that this was done within a larger narrative of belonging and citizenship.

Joyojeet Pal is an associate professor at the School of Information at the University of Michigan and a Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research India. His research examines the use of social media in mainstream politics.

Tae will perform a reading of the book followed by a question and answer session. We encourage you to check out her website and read her “Author’s Note” and “Guide to Mythology in *When You Trap A Tiger*.”

Pre-registration for Zoom Webinar is required: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bYM6_oiPTA6Zeb9V53m9dw

Tae Keller grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii, where she subsisted on kimchi, purple rice, and stories. Now, she writes about biracial girls trying to find their voices, and lives in Seattle with her husband and a multitude of books.

*When You Trap A Tiger* Synopsis:
Would you make a deal with a magical tiger? This uplifting story brings Korean folklore to life as a girl goes on a quest to unlock the power of stories and save her grandmother.

Some stories refuse to stay bottled up…

When Lily and her family move in with her sick grandmother, a magical tiger straight out of her halmoni’s Korean folktales arrives, prompting Lily to unravel a secret family history. Long, long ago, Halmoni stole something from the tigers. Now they want it back. And when one of the tigers approaches Lily with a deal–return what her grandmother stole in exchange for Halmoni’s health–Lily is tempted to agree. But deals with tigers are never what they seem! With the help of her sister and her new friend Ricky, Lily must find her voice…and the courage to face a tiger.

Stamps Gallery is proud to premier a new projection work by Stephanie Dinkins at Detroit&#039;s DLECTRICITY festival, September 24-25, 2021 from 7:00 pm – midnight.
DLECTRICITY is free and open to the public. No registration required.
This new work extends into a visual poem and offers glimpses into an Afro-now-ist world Dinkins has envisioned. In this world, Dinkins illuminates the power and resilience in black women’s stories, reminding us that sharing and receiving stories is an act of resistance.

This projection is part of a major survey of Dinkins work titled Stephanie Dinkins: On Love &amp; Data, on view at Stamps Gallery through October 23, 2021. Curated by Srimoyee Mitra.
DLECTRICITY is a nighttime outdoor festival of art, light and technology that showcases extraordinary art by emerging and established artists and creative design professionals. This outdoor festival includes over 40 art installations and 2 music stages. The festival will focus on safe visitor experiences in open spaces throughout Detroit’s Cultural Center and DTE’s Beacon Park.

Over the course of their career, Okkervil River has released nine albums that have given front man Will Sheff a reputation as one of the greatest working songwriters in the country. As Sheff and his shifting lineup of players have traveled the world many times over, they’ve made fans ranging from Lou Reed to Barack Obama and been praised by outlets from the New York Times to NPR to Pitchfork, who called Sheff “One of indie rock’s most ambitious thinkers”.

Last year saw Okkervil River’s two-decades-plus trek around the globe captured in A Dream in the Dark, an expansive release anthologizing 20 years of live performance, spanning from pin- drop listening rooms to stadium stages - released on ATO Records.

In addition to his work with Okkervil River, Sheff composes for film and television, has written for the Times, McSweeney’s, Gawker and Rolling Stone, worked as a producer on psych-rock legend Roky Erickson’s critically-acclaimed comeback album True Love Cast Out All Evil, and released his directorial film debut Down Down the Deep River in 2015.



On The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania, Damien Jurado gathers up ten stories of people determined not to be broken by their dire circumstances. “The world is a liar, the stars are a must,” he sings over brushed drums, a circling bassline, and acoustic guitar on “Helena,” which opens his 17th album, the first release from Damien’s own Maraqopa Records. Dire circumstances have long been fixtures of Jurado’s songs, which are filled with ghosts, killers, cruel lovers, and the occasional UFO cult or false messiah. But here, the scenes are earthy, drawn from ordinary but no less immense calamities: hurricanes moving toward town, strained connections, amnesiacs in the front yard. On The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania, Jurado pulls the curtains shut, blocking out “the light now embarrassed and afraid of the dark,” as he sings on “Tom,” one of the album’s haunting numbers, only to throw them open the exact moment sunshine needs to come flooding in.

Jurado has certainly made sparser records than The Monster, but sonically it is among his most exposed, stripping away the cosmic gloss that defined his trio of albums with the late Richard Swift in favor of dry, homespun ambiance. “In a lot of ways, it’s a continuation of the work I did with Swift,” Jurado says. Had the producer not passed away in 2018—he’s been memorialized in a number of Damien’s recent songs—it’s likely the duo would have found themselves drawn in this direction too, Damien suspects, noting that the addition by subtraction approach imbued the new album with a certain quality of “emptiness,” creating the feel of a sort of spiritual karaoke track, tailor made for personal projection. “I wanted to leave space for the listener,” Jurado says.

Known for working fast—he’s usually got a handful of finished albums at the ready at any given time—the compositions here are uncluttered, but not slight, decorated by Beatles-esque bass-lines, drums, and strings. Inspired by the sound of records like Lou Reed’s The Bells and Paul McCartney’s Ram, Jurado produced the new album himself, employing “a certain dryness,” which allowed the songs to feel cavernous, even “after spending so long in reverb land,” Jurado laughs.

Jurado’s discography is full of detours—from answering machine collages to full-on electric rock band outings— but there’s a through line connecting it all, evidence of an almost oracular or prophetic unease that lurks in Jurado’s headspace. Listening to The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania, you can still hear that young man living within these songs, speaking as if from the other side, about the circumstances that crush people or leave them vexed. “The loneliest place I’ve ever been is in your arms,” he sings on the ghostly, Jason Molina-evoking “Male Customer #1”; “I hadn’t been in a car yet/Hearing the world through your eyes,” he sings on the quixotic “Jennifer.”

On the album’s most harrowing and gripping song “Johnny Caravella,” he dreams up an epic of American strangeness in the vein of Springsteen’s “State Trooper” or Suicide’s “Frankie Teardrop.” His voice cracking over a distorted maw of guitars, Jurado narrates a frantic drive west, tuned into the sound of prophecy coming over the radio: “All is not lost/Even if you’re without a direction.” “Just stick around till the light pushes into the darkness,” Damien promises - or admits - at the burned-out husk of the song’s conclusion. Jurado’s best songs have long concerned inevitabilities. On The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania, he offers up his own Twilight Zone, “a middle ground between light and shadow”…a dimension of imagination, of half-remembered dreams and people reaching out to cross into that liminal space between heartbreak and wholeness. Jurado knows the territory well. He knows the secret words to whisper at the right time. Press your eye to the speaker, tune your ear to the horizon.

-Jason P. Woodbury Aquarium Drunkard

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.

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.

GROUP BIKE CANCELED DUE TO CONSTRUCTION - GO ON YOUR OWN AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION

Join student leaders of University of Michigan Sustainable Foods Program and the Campus Farm for a scenic bike ride along the Huron River from Nichols Arboretum (peony gardens) to the U-M Campus Farm at Matthaei Botanical Gardens where we will join in the "9th Annual Harvest Festival" activities.
The route will be completely off road trails including the B2B and Matthaei Gardens Trail.

The route from Nichols Arboretum to the Campus Farm is just under 6 miles long, and we estimate the trip to take about 30 minutes on bikes. Although the group will start at the same time, we expect that the group will spread out along the way. So feel free to go at your own pace. You can even opt to jog if you would prefer.

Start time: 12:30pm at the Nichols Arboretum: 1610 Washington Heights
Bring your own bike and water bottle! All are welcome to participate.
Don’t have a bike? Check out the link to Adventure Leadership for information on daily bicycle rentals. Or bring your own trail-friendly mode of transportation (jogging shoes, scooter, etc.).

Note: This is a one way group trip, so individuals will need to plan transportation back to central campus.

After the forced conversion of the Muslims in Castile in 1502 and in Aragon in 1526, numerous Christian writers made use of Arabic and Islamic texts as part of a missionizing effort to instruct and acculturate the new Morisco population. Texts by the convert known as Juan Andrés (Confusión o confutación de la secta mahomética y del Alcorán, 1515), Juan Martín de Figuerola (Lumbre de la fe contra la secta machomética, not published, finished 1518), Bishop of Barcelona Martín García (Sermones, 1520), Erasmist writer Bernardo Pérez de Chinchón (Antialcorano, 1532), and the Avilan priest Lope de Obregón (Confutación del alcorán y secta mahometana, sacado de sus proprios libros, y de la vida del mesmo Mahoma, 1555) form part of a group of missionizing texts that can be called “Anti-Qurʾāns,” on the basis of Pérez de Chinchón’s title. Such texts present an inversion of the language and practices of the Moriscos. They do not use Aljamiado (Castilian text written in Arabic letters and sometimes blended with Arabic text), employed to express and support Morisco identity, but rather “anti-Aljamiado” (Arabic text written in Latin letters, blended with Castilian text), employed to undermine that identity and encourage conversion and assimilation. This chapter analyzes this phenomenon in the context of Arabic knowledge and use in early sixteenth-century Iberia, arguing that the use of “anti-Aljamiado” was not simply an accident of transliteration or typesetting, but was part of a deliberate strategy by Christian preachers and writers to support their own authority in arguing against Islam.

Ryan Szpiech is Associate Professor of Spanish and Judaic Studies, and Director of the Center for Middle East and North African Studies at the University of Michigan, where he teaches and writes about translation, conversion, and religious interaction in medieval and early modern Iberia. He is the author of Conversion and Narrative: Reading and Religious Authority in Medieval Polemic (Pennsylvania, 2013), which won the La Corónica Book Award (2015); editor of Medieval Exegesis and Religious Difference: Commentary, Conflict, and Community in the Premodern Mediterranean (Fordham, 2015) and of a special issue of Journal of Medieval Iberian Studies (2011) on “Gender and Genre in Medieval Sepharad”; and co-editor of Interreligious Encounters in Polemics between Christians, Jews, and Muslims in Iberia and Beyond (Brill, 2018) and Astrolabes in Medieval Cultures (Brill, 2019). In 2019, he completed a 25-minute documentary about the history of King Alfonso X, entitled “The Birth of Spanish in 3D” (https://birth-of-spanish.rll.lsa.umich.edu/). Since 2013, he has been editor-in-chief of the journal Medieval Encounters.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Psychology

Research on racism and health is critical to optimizing the health and development of Black American young people. Through research that integrates psychology, biology, developmental and family science, and public health, we have: 1) advanced our understanding of racism experiences among Black American youth; 2) delineated mechanisms that mitigate or exacerbate the health sequelae of racism; and 3) tested a biopsychosocial model of racism-related stress to identify opportunities for intervention and the eradication of racism. In this presentation, I will highlight recent key findings and reflect on the value of combining racism, public health, and developmental science frameworks to inform the next generation of research, alleviate the health consequences of racism, and promote health equity for Black and other marginalized youth.

How the Measurement and Meaning of Family Structure Shape Research on Young Adult Racial Inequality (September 27, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86249 86249-21632226@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 27, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Social Research

Abstract:
At the population level, Black and White youth in the United States enter adulthood after a lifetime of divergent family structure experiences. A substantial social science literature has investigated whether this variation in childhood family structure contributes to racial disparities in the timing, sequence, and context of events in the transition into adulthood. This discussion adopts a critical perspective on mainstream research on this topic. The panelists highlight opportunities in family demography, social stratification, human development, and race and ethnic studies to advance theory, measurement, and empirical modeling in order to more accurately reflect Black family organization and to situate Black and White families in the a broader context of racialized social, economic, and political inequality.

Speakers:
Paula Fomby is a research associate professor in the Survey Research Center and Population Studies Center, Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan. She holds a PhD in Sociology with an emphasis in social demography from University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research considers how family composition and family process contribute to variation in child and young adult well-being, particularly in the context of social inequality. Fomby is the associate director of the UM Population Studies Center, a co-investigator on the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), and the associate director of the PSID Child Development Supplement.

Christina Cross is a postdoctoral fellow and incoming assistant professor of Sociology at Harvard University. She completed her PhD in Sociology and Public Policy at University of Michigan. Her research examines how family structure, change, and dynamics influence individual wellbeing across the life course, particularly among minority and/or low-income populations. Much of her work has focused on childhood as a key stage in the life course for the emergence and accumulation of social advantages or disadvantages.

Bethany Letiecq is an associate professor in the Human Development and Family Science program at George Mason University. - She received her PhD in health education/family studies and her MS in family and community development from the University of Maryland, College Park. Dr. Letiecq employs community-based participatory and action research approaches to conduct research in partnership with families systematically marginalized by society to promote family health and justice. She is keenly interested in how social policies and practices facilitate or hinder family functioning and health across all families.

This event is an ISR Inclusive Research Matters presentation, sponsored by the Education Programs Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Team, the Population Studies Center and the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science.

Michigan Population Studies Center (PSC) Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

60th Anniversary Alumni Lecture Series

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

Since the early 20th century attitudes toward modernization have increasingly centered on spatial hierarchies manifested not only in the built environment, but also through China's arts and culture such as through the growing nationalist interest in its ancient sculptural sites. Through tracing the new emphasis on the monumental in various interpretations of sculpture of the past as well as the present up to the 1950s, this talk examines the motivations for invoking monumentality in modern China and its role in envisioning a new mass viewer in the young Communist nation.

Attendees will be exposed to the concept of healing centered engagement and leadership as opposed to trauma-informed approaches as they consider what inclusive leadership means for them and how their own journey provides a critical entry point into collective efforts. This workshop will particularly benefit members of the BIPOC community, but is open to all.
This workshop is designed for master’s students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/Yy5ZA.

M-LEEaD Fall Seminar: Germline Epigenetic Programming and Paternal Contributions to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs): Questioning the Prevailing Paradigm (September 28, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86413 86413-21634273@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 28, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center

Join us on Zoom for a fall seminar questioning the prevailing view that maternal drinking alone contributes to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs). Michael Golding, Associate Professor in the Department of Veterinary Physiology at Texas A&M University, researches the interface between pregnancy and epigenetics, trying to understand how environmental exposures before conception or early in development cause disease later in life. Currently, he investigates how male drinking, prior to conception, contributes to the development of alcohol-induced birth defects and disease.

While discussing his book The Power of the Brush: Epistolary Practices in Chosŏn Korea (University of Washington Press, 2020), Hwisang Cho will give a survey of the “epistolary revolution” that shaped Korean society from the sixteenth century to the end of the Chosŏn dynasty and beyond. By examining the physical peculiarities of new letter forms, the cooptation of letters for other purposes after their communicative functions, and the rise of diverse political epistolary genres, this talk will illuminate how innovation in epistolary practices allowed diverse writers to move beyond the limits imposed by the existing scholarly culture, gender norms, and political systems. While emphasizing how the epistolary revolution posed new challenges to traditional values and already-established institutions, it will demonstrate that new modes of reading and writing developed in the seemingly mundane and trivial practice of letter writing triggered a flourishing of Neo-Confucian moral thought, the formation of new kinds of cultural power, and the rise of elite public politics.

Hwisang Cho is an assistant professor in Korean studies at Emory University. Cho’s areas of specialization include the cultural, intellectual, and literary history of Korea, comparative textual media, and global written culture. His major work in progress is The Tales of the Master: T’oegye and the Making of Modern Korea, a study of how the culture of storytelling about a historical personage and its manifestation in diverse material forms have influenced the formation and appropriation of self-identities of various communities in Korea from the late sixteenth century to the present.

“Flourish” by Martin E.P. Seligman - A must read for those wanting to understand how we thrive.

"The book is full of nuggets about why positive approaches work."
"An interesting and hope-inducing read with real-world application."

Seligman's approach is to take psychology from its traditional role in alleviating misery and broaden it into a solid research-based guidebook to wellbeing -- teaching us how to be wiser, stronger, more generous to others, more self-disciplined, and more capable of dealing with difficulty and rejection. Seligman asks, what is it that enables you to cultivate your talents, to build deep, lasting relationships with others, to feel pleasure, and to contribute meaningfully to the world? In a word, what is it that allows you to flourish?

This study group will meet on Wednesdays for six weeks beginning on September 29. 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.

About the talk:
Remote or hybrid work is not new—domestic and global companies have had virtual work arrangements for nearly 30 years. However, the rapid and unprecedented changes brought on by COVID-19 have accelerated these transitions, requiring the wholesale migration of nearly entire companies to remote work in a matter of weeks, leaving managers and employees scrambling to adjust.

On one hand, companies have seen opportunities that remote work can afford them: nonexistent commute times, lower operational costs, and a larger pool of global job applicants. Many are planning to permanently incorporate remote days into their long-term routines or even give their employees the option to work from home full-time. On the other hand, these circumstances have brought to light many challenges that are inherent with virtual arrangements: employees feel lost, isolated, and out of sync and out of sight.

People are looking for insights; they want to know how to keep their teams motivated, what digital tools they’ll need, how to keep track of employee productivity, how to maintain connections without face-to-face interactions, and how to combat the draining feelings of tech exhaustion. Based on nearly two decades of experience working with virtual and global teams, Neeley provides evidence-based answers to the most pressing questions about how teams can feel more connected and be well-prepared to deliver optimal results.

About Neeley:
Tsedal Neeley is the Naylor Fitzhugh Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School. Her work focuses on how leaders can scale their organizations by developing and implementing global and digital strategies. She regularly advises top leaders who are embarking on virtual work and large scale-change that involves global expansion, digital transformation, and becoming more agile.

Respond / Resist / Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition (September 29, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84617 84617-21624269@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 29, 2021 11:00am

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.

Assessing Measurement Error in Hypothetical Questions
Although most opinion survey questions use factual, behavioral, and attitudinal questions that ask what the respondent is, has done, or currently feels, sometimes surveys use hypothetical questions that ask the respondent to imagine a particular situation and state what they would do or feel. We expect these questions to suffer from measurement error but without an objectively observable truth for reference, we cannot evaluate it. Psychologists and economists who have studied the error in respondents’ “stated” preferences have labeled this error hypothetical bias. Survey methodologists have conducted very little research in the area of hypothetical bias but understanding this error could be important for correcting stated preferences on topics like: mode preference, consent to record linkage, and whether the respondent would download an app with certain features.

We use data from an experiment that asked participants assigned to the treatment group to report their reaction to the experimental survey protocol they received. Meanwhile, those in the control group were asked hypothetically how they would react to the protocol if they had experienced it. We compare the responses to ten respondent reaction questions presented upon completion of the survey, identifying the presence of hypothetical bias across all 10 questions using both categorical and quantitative methods. We found that the Control group consistently exhibited less preference for the hypothetical protocol than the Treatment group. We believe these differences are representative of the measurement error resulting from the poor correspondence between the Control group’s hypothetical attitudes and the Treatment group’s reported experience. This work shows that hypothetical bias is a problem in opinion research and is the first to quantify the extent of that problem.

Social Brown Bag: How does culture shape responses to immoral behavior? (September 29, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86051 86051-21631242@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 29, 2021 12:00pm

Abstract:
Imagine witnessing your best friend committing a crime. Would you act out of loyalty to your friend, by protecting them from punishment, or loyalty to your society, by punishing their crime? Moral norms help us balance between the needs of the group and those of individuals, and societies across the globe vary in the balance they strike. Among Americans, the answer is clear: people reliably choose to protect close others who commit moral transgressions, thereby prioritizing individuals at the expense of society. How might this differ in collectivist cultural contexts? Decades of cultural psychology research present two compelling possibilities. On one hand, people in collectivist contexts may perceive outcomes to be shared among close others. Therefore, to avoid negative consequences for the self, they may protect close others even more strongly than Americans. On the other hand, people in collectivist contexts may prioritize the group over any individual, which would predict a weaker tendency to protect close others. Across three studies, we provide self-report and narrative evidence supporting the latter hypothesis. In Studies 1 and 2, we show that Japanese (vs. Americans) are more punitive toward close others who commit crimes, and that this is driven by societal (vs. individual) concerns. In Study 3, we show that this cultural difference disappears when society is less implicated in the crime. Together, this work underscores the importance of context in shaping interpersonal moral decisions.

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: Global Islamic Studies Center

IISS is pleased to announce the public lecture "Sacred Relics, Insignia, and Kingship: the Ottoman Case in Comparative Perspective" by Professor Gottfried Hagen (Department of Middle East Studies, University of Michigan)

Sultan Murād III rode into the Battle of Mezőkeresztes in 1596 behind the the Holy Banner of the Prophet Muḥammad, and had the Prophet’s Mantle carried alongside. Did the possession of these and other vestiges make the Ottoman sultan a sacred king, placing him “in a mimetic relationship to the Divine” (A. Al-Azmeh)? In this lecture, we will look at the ways relic and vestiges have been used and displayed in liturgical and political contexts, as icons and insignia, in Islamic and Christian monarchies, to come to a better understanding of the sacred dimension of Ottoman kingship".

Abstract:

Human complex traits result from genetic and environmental factors, and from their interactions. Many of these effects are mediated by changes in gene regulation. Indeed, most genetic variants associated with complex trait variation in humans are in regulatory regions. I will present some of our recent studies on gene-environment interactions in gene regulation, with a specific focus on cardiovascular health. I will present evidence that gene-environment interactions in molecular phenotypes are frequent, account for a substantial portion of complex trait variation and modify genetic risk for disease.

Research Focus:

My lab is interested in understanding the genetic and molecular basis of inter-individual and inter-population differences in complex phenotypes. We combine evolutionary and functional genomics approaches to study intermediate phenotypes (e.g.: transcription factor binding, gene expression, protein secretion, etc.) and how they are affected by gene-environment interactions. Our research is funded by the NIH.

Free and open to the public.


Please join us virtually from 7:00-8:30 PM on Wednesday, September 29 for a webinar on How Communities Can Impact Michigan’s Redistricting.

Michigan’s redistricting process is the single most important political event in the state. Its outcome will affect Michigan policy and politics for the next decade. This webinar will address the process that the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (MICRC) is using to draw district maps for the U.S. Congress and both houses of the Michigan Legislature.


The webinar will include an analysis of the testimony the Commission has received from citizens and Communities of Interest about their mapping preferences, a discussion of the timeline for creating final maps, and useful tips for the public and Communities of Interest as they prepare to offer comments to the Commission about the new district maps this fall. The Commission currently plans to begin the second and final round of public hearings in early October.

Sergio Martínez-Beltrán of Bridge Michigan will moderate a panel that includes Moon Duchin of Tufts University’s MGGG Redistricting Lab, who designed the Commission’s public input portal, Bob Chunn of Next Vote which helps communities draw maps, and Hayg Oshagan who directs New Michigan Media, a network of ethnic and minority media. The Executive Director of the MICRC, Sue Hammersmith, will also speak about public input and the mapping process.

This is the third webinar in a series sponsored by the Center for Local, State and Urban Policy (CLOSUP) at the University of Michigan’s Ford School of Public Policy and Voters Not Politicians (VNP), along with Michigan State University’s Institute for Public Policy and Social Research (IPPSR). Co-sponsors: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, Bridge Michigan, League of Women Voters of Michigan, University of Michigan’s Program in Practical Policy Engagement, and Detroit Public Television. The purpose of these webinars is to educate and engage the public in Michigan’s redistricting process. There will be time for questions from the public after brief presentations from the panelists. Please also submit your questions in advance when you register for the webinar here: https://fordschool.umich.edu/event/2021/how-communities-can-promote-their-interests-michigans-redistricting-lessons-learned

Respond / Resist / Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition (September 30, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84617 84617-21624270@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 30, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
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.

Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data (September 30, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84616 84616-21624250@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 30, 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 &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.

Techniques and Challenges for EHR Phenotyping

Speaker:
Lisa Bastarache, MS
Research Associate Professor Department of Biomedical Informatics,
Vanderbilt University

Electronic health records (EHR) contain a wealth of real world data that can be used for research purposes. However, extracting phenotype information from EHRs can be challenging. EHR phenotyping can be divided into two types: (1) Fast phenotyping which seeks to capture a broad swath of the medical phenome, and is often accomplished using coded EHR data (e.g. billing codes) and (2) slow phenotyping that seeks to achieve high precision and recall for a single phenotype, and often uses multiple EHR data types (e.g. medications, text, lab results). This talk will describe specific use-cases for both fast and slow phenotyping, and review challenges that are commonly encountered in creating research-grade EHR phenotypes.

Organized By: Center for Global and Intercultural Study

Students who are seeking international experiences as a way to explore their own roots are considered heritage seekers. Their experiences with a certain culture give them a unique perspective and can serve as an advantage in their immersion experience, and while most heritage seekers are invested emotionally and intellectually in their host country/homeland, some may neglect to consider the negative impacts of their perceived familiarity with the culture. Join us for this special brief where we discuss this somewhat invisible identity and the benefits and barriers a heritage seeker can encounter while navigating abroad. RSVP @ https://myumi.ch/88rvK

Title: Detecting equivalence between iterative algorithms for optimization

Abstract:
When are two algorithms the same? How can we be sure a recently proposed algorithm is novel, and not a minor twist on an existing method? In this talk, we present a framework for reasoning about equivalence between a broad class of iterative algorithms, with a focus on algorithms designed for convex optimization. We propose several notions of what it means for two algorithms to be equivalent, and provide computationally tractable means to detect equivalence. Our main definition, oracle equivalence, states that two algorithms are equivalent if they result in the same sequence of calls to the function oracles (for suitable initialization). Borrowing from control theory, we use state-space realizations to represent algorithms and characterize algorithm equivalence via transfer functions. Our framework can also identify and characterize some algorithm transformations including permutations of the update equations, repetition of the iteration, and conjugation of some of the function oracles in the algorithm. A software package named Linnaeus implements the framework and makes it easy to find other iterative algorithms that are equivalent to an input algorithm. More broadly, this framework and software advances the goal of making mathematics searchable.
Based on joint work with Shipu Zhao and Laurent Lessard


Bio:
Madeleine Udell is Assistant Professor of Operations Research and Information Engineering and Richard and Sybil Smith Sesquicentennial Fellow at Cornell University. She studies optimization and machine learning for large scale data analysis and control, with applications in marketing, demographic modeling, medical informatics, engineering system design, and automated machine learning. She has received several awards, including an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship (2021), a National Science Foundation CAREER award (2020), an Office of Naval Research (ONR) Young Investigator Award (2020), a Cornell Engineering Research Excellence Award (2020), an INFORMS Optimization Society Best Student Paper Award (as advisor) (2019), and INFORMS Doing Good with Good OR (2018). Her work is supported by grants from the NSF, ONR, DARPA, the Canadian Institutes of Health, and Capital One.
Her research in optimization centers on detecting and exploiting novel structures in optimization problems, with a particular focus on convex and low rank problems. These structures lead the way to automatic proofs of optimality, better complexity guarantees, and faster, more memory-efficient algorithms. She has developed a number of open source libraries for modeling and solving optimization problems, including Convex.jl, one of the top tools in the Julia language for technical computing.
Her research in machine learning centers on methods for imputing missing data in large tabular data sets. Her work on generalized low rank models (GLRMs) extends principal components analysis (PCA) to embed tabular data sets with heterogeneous (numerical, Boolean, categorical, and ordinal) types into a low dimensional space, providing a coherent framework for compressing, denoising, and imputing missing entries. This research enables novel applications in medical informatics, quantitative finance, marketing, causal inference, and automated machine learning, among others.
At Cornell, Madeleine has advised more than 50 students and postdocs. She has developed several new courses in optimization and machine learning, earning the Douglas Whitney ’61 Engineering Teaching Excellence Award in 2018.
Madeleine completed her PhD at Stanford University in Computational & Mathematical Engineering in 2015 under the supervision of Stephen Boyd, and a one year postdoctoral fellowship at Caltech in the Center for the Mathematics of Information hosted by Professor Joel Tropp. At Stanford, she was awarded a NSF Graduate Fellowship, a Gabilan Graduate Fellowship, and a Gerald J. Lieberman Fellowship, and was selected as the doctoral student member of Stanford's School of Engineering Future Committee to develop a road-map for the future of engineering at Stanford over the next 10–20 years. She received a B.S. degree in Mathematics and Physics, summa cum laude, with honors in mathematics and in physics, from Yale University.

The Three Paths to Salvation of Paul the Jew (September 30, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85778 85778-21628986@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 30, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Judaic Studies

What did Paul, as an apocalyptic Jew and follower of Jesus, think about the concept of Salvation? Paul did not convert nor break with his inherited traditions but was part of the lively diversity of Second Temple Judaism. Boccaccini’s ‘Paul’s Three Paths to Salvation’ is an attempt to reconcile the many facets of Paul’s complex Jewish identity while reclaiming him from accusations of intolerance. Boccaccini’s work in reestablishing Paul as a messenger of God’s mercy to sinners is an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about Paul’s place in the contemporary pluralistic world.

This review panel includes an introduction by the author (Gabriele Boccaccini), review presentations by Lisa Bowens (Princeton Theological Seminary), Isaac Oliver (Bradley University), Matthew Novenson (University of Edinburgh), Cecilia Wassen (Uppsala University), and Emma Wasserman (Rutgers University), followed by an open dialogue among participants.

CJS Lecture Series | Differences between Japan and China: Perspectives from Japanese Journalism, 1980 - Present (September 30, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84335 84335-21623366@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 30, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Note that this event begins at 7pm, Ann Arbor time. This talk will be delivered in Japanese with English translation.

This lecture covers differences between Japan and China, including relationships between the press and government, questions of Western and non-western tradition, etc. This talk is informed by Aso’s work in journalism and the NPO AsiaCommons.

This speech mainly discusses the differences in the mentalities of the Chinese and Japanese public through reviewing and revisiting the anti-Japanese protests in China in 2004 and 2012. Such demonstrations seem to have more impact on the Japanese people than on the Chinese people. It is said that after these protests, the Japanese society basically feels dismayed at the Chinese people. My talk is to explore the reasons for such differences. I will address some interviews I had with the artists living in Beijing Artist Village in the 1990s and civil society in the 2000s in order to illustrate the unique relationship between the Chinese government and its citizens as well as the ideas of Japanese people about this issue. In addition, with the above analysis and conclusions, I will talk about the future non-governmental exchanges between China and Japan and Japan’s considerations on Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Chinese ethnic relationship, and its democratization progress. If there is enough time, I will introduce the NPO activities we have sponsored and organized.

Seiichiro Aso was born in Fukuoka Prefecture in 1966 and graduated from the Department of Literature, Tokyo University. He has written many articles about Chinese civil society, Chinese modern art, and interpersonal relationships between Japan and China. Aso established NPO AsiaCommons, which promotes interpersonal relationships in East Asia.

His publications include "The Beijing Art Village”, “The Passion of Chinese”, “Modern China which Japanese news media does not report”, among others. He recently delivered two lectures, “Interpersonal Relationships between Japan and China” and “Modern Chinese Culture” at Kanagawa University and Saitama University.

Handmade in Cuba: The Artists' Books of Rolando Estévez (September 30, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85709 85709-21628305@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 30, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University Library

U-M Anthropology Professor Ruth Behar presents on the extraordinary work of Rolando Estévez, a renowned creator of artists' books. Estévez was born in Matanzas, Cuba, where he still resides, and has created over 500 original books that are appreciated in Cuba and collected by the British National Library, the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), the Library of Congress, as well as numerous universities in the U.S., Canada, and other countries in the Americas. At the University of Michigan, the Special Collections Library holds a major collection of these extraordinary books.

Behar will discuss the range of books that Estévez has created over the years; will explore her own intellectual, literary, and artistic collaboration with him over the past thirty years as a Cuban-American scholar and writer who returns frequently to the island; and will address the meaning of handmade books in our society today as we increasingly move toward digital books and the idea of the book as virtual rather than tactile. For further information, see the anthology Behar recently co-edited, Handmade in Cuba: Rolando Estévez and the Beautiful Books of Ediciones Vigía.

Organized By: Engineering Career Resource Center

Relativity Space is building humanity’s multiplanetary future. We invented a new approach to design, print, and fly our own rockets, starting with Terran 1 – the world’s first entirely 3D-printed rocket, set to launch into orbit for the first time ever this winter. As a vertically integrated technology platform, Relativity is at the forefront of an inevitable shift toward software-defined manufacturing. By fusing 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and autonomous robotics, we are pioneering the factory of the future. Disrupting 60 years of aerospace, Relativity offers a radically simplified supply chain, building a rocket with 100x fewer parts in less than 60 days. We believe in a future where interplanetary life fundamentally expands the possibilities for human experience. Our long-term vision is to upgrade humanity’s industrial base on Earth and on Mars.

We are actively hiring Summer 2022 interns and full-time employees in every department including Additive Development, Avionics & Integrated Software, Manufacturing, Powder-Based Additive Development, Vehicle Development, and more. Join us in-person on Thursday, September 30th to learn more about Relativity, meet UM Alums and current Relativity Engineers, and our University Recruiter.

*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.*

The youngest of 14 children, Iris DeMent was born in Paragould, Arkansas, and moved to California with her devoutly religious family when she was three. As a teenager she absorbed the country music of Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash, as well as the folk classics of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Her 1992 debut album, "Infamous Angel," distilled these influences into a poetic yet down-to-earth songwriting style. With a heartfelt, homespun voice that listeners recognize instantly, Iris released some of the most powerful roots albums of the 1990s with the beautifully sparse "My Life" and the harder-edged "The Way I Should." She has continued to make powerful and distinctive albums on her own schedule, and her latest is "The Trackless Woods," featuring settings of texts by Russian poet Anna Akhmatova.

Detroit artist Rashaun Rucker explores black male identity through American ornithology. In his hybrid portraits, he combines the images of black men with the anatomical features of rock pigeons, both cast aside and conditioned, unable to free themselves from their imposed fates or surroundings.
Rashaun Rucker was born in Winston-Salem, NC, and is a product of North Carolina Central University and Marygrove College. He makes photographs, prints and drawings and has won more than 40 national and state awards for his work. In 2008 Rucker became the first African American to be named Michigan Press Photographer of the Year. He also won a national Emmy Award in 2008 for documentary photography on the pit bull culture in Detroit. Rucker was a Maynard Fellow at Harvard in 2009 and a Hearst visiting professional in the journalism department at UNC-Chapel Hill in 2013. In 2014 Rucker was awarded an artist residency at the Red Bull House of Art. In 2016 Rucker was honored as a Modern Man by Black Enterprise magazine. In 2017 Rucker created the original artwork for the critically acclaimed Detroit Free Press documentary 12 and Clairmount. His work was recently featured in HBO’s celebrated series Random Acts of Flyness and Native Son. In 2019 Rucker was awarded the Red Bull Arts Detroit micro grant and was named a Kresge Arts Fellow for his drawing practice. Rucker’s work is represented in numerous public and private collections.
Rashaun Rucker’s work is on view at the Institute for the Humanities (Suite 1111, 202 S. Thayer St.) from September 13th through October 15, 2021.

"Medicare for All: A Citizen’s Guide" by Dr. Abdul El-Sayed (October 1, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/85050 85050-21625507@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 1, 2021 10:00am

There are few issues as consequential in the lives of Americans as healthcare—and few issues more politically vexing. Every single American will interact with the healthcare system at some point in their lives, and most people will find that interaction less than satisfactory. And yet for every dollar spent in our economy, 18 cents go to healthcare. What are we paying for, exactly?

Healthcare policy is notoriously complex, but what Americans want is simple: good healthcare that's easy to use and doesn't break the bank.

Medicare for All is the leading proposal to achieve universal health coverage in America. But what is it exactly? How would it work? More importantly, is it practical or practicable?

“Medicare for All: A Citizen's Guide” goes beyond partisan talking points to offer a serious examination of how Medicare for All would transform the way we give, receive, and pay for healthcare in America.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a physician, epidemiologist, educator, author, speaker, and podcast host. His newsletter, “The Incision”, cuts to the heart of the trends shaping our moment. He is a commentator at CNN. In addition to “Medicare for All” he has written “Healing Politics”, calling for a politics of empathy to cure our epidemic of insecurity. He is the host of “America Dissected,” a podcast by Crooked Media, which goes beyond the headlines to explore what really matters for our health. He is a Senior Fellow at the FXB Center for Health & Human Rights at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, and a Scholar-in-Residence at Wayne State University and American University, teaching at the intersection of public health, public policy, and politics. He is formerly the Health Director for the City of Detroit and candidate for Governor of Michigan in 2018.

Abstract: Inference of multiple directed relations between primary variables presents challenges in the presence of unspecified interventions. In this presentation, we focus on the problem of inferring multiple directed relations simultaneously while identifying unspecified interventions. First, we derive conditions to yield an identifiable model. Then, we propose constrained regressions for causal discovery to identify the ancestral relations in addition to the instrument interventions for each hypothesis-specific primary variable, eliminating nuisance parameters for hypothesis testing. On this ground, we propose a modified likelihood ratio based on data perturbation to account for the identification effect by perturbing original data to assess the uncertainty associated with identifying ancestors and interventions. For testing the presence and strengths of parent-child relations in a pathway, we show that the proposed tests achieve desired statistical properties. Finally, numerical examples will be given to demonstrate the utility and effectiveness of the proposed procedure.

This work is joint with Chunlin Li and Wei Pan at the University of Minnesota.


Xiaotong T. Shen is the John Black Johnston Distinguished Professor in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota.

Respond / Resist / Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition (October 1, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84617 84617-21624271@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 1, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
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.

Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data (October 1, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84616 84616-21624251@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 1, 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 &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.

Flash Talk | Once Upon a Time, There Was a River: The Environmental History of the Tiber Valley before Rome, from the Neolithic to the Iron Age (October 1, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84215 84215-21620769@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 1, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Due to a bad internet connection, this Flash Talk could not take place in July as originally scheduled. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you can join us on October 1 for a do-over!

It is entrenched in much of the historical and archaeological literature that the success of Rome was due to its favorable location along the major river in peninsular Italy. Is this assumption true? Indeed, we know little about the natural settings of the Tiber before it was encroached upon and urbanized during the late Republic and Imperial periods, creating an “eternal” image of the landscape. Recent investigations have instead revealed important changes in the local vegetation and a very dynamic fluvial environment, possibly affected by tectonic episodes, between 5,000 and 3,000 years ago.

Kelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators, staff members, researchers, and graduate students talking about their recent research or current projects. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors. They take place at noon on the first Friday of every month.

The annual Halaloween: A Muslim Film Festival is presented by the Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC) at the University of Michigan.

What's Halaloween? In 2019 during the month of October, we launched the first ever Muslim Horror Film Festival: Halaloween. Halaloween screens horror films from across the globe that were made by, for, or about Muslims with the hopes of understanding ‘What scares Muslim audiences? Are horror movies halal?’. The previous Halaloween Festivals featured A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, Dachra, Siccin 4 and more.

This year we are hosting the festival online and screening one film a week for the month of October. We're giving you the remote and allowing viewers to watch on their own time: each film will be available for a whole week. We're also inclusive of everyone's film needs: from new horror fans who close their eyes through most of the films, to those who love the gore - we've got films for everyone! Check the Halaloween Horror Rating in the description of each film for a better sense on how scary each film will be.

The festival remains free, and will come to you wherever you are (though some films may not be available in certain countries). Films will be unlocked online each week of October, and viewers will have the week to watch each film. We'll wrap up the month of October with a live panel discussion on Muslim Horror, the use of Islam and the Quran, and how each region differs in its creation of horror films (sign up to our newsletter below to stay updated on this event, or check our social media).

The 2021 Halaloween Lineup:

October 1 - 122 | 2019 | Egypt
October 8 - KL24: Zombies | 2017 | Malaysia
October 15 - Kandisha | 2008 | Morocco
October 22 - Madayen | 2016 | Saudi Arabia
October 29 - Impetigore | 2019 | Indonesia

Halaloween is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center, and cosponsored by the Middle Eastern Studies Department, the Department of Film, Television, and Media, the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies, the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, Arab and Muslim American Studies, the Humanities Institute, the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, the African Studies Center, the Center for South Asian Studies, the Center for Arab American Studies (UM-Dearborn), the Arab American National Museum, and Shudder.

CCN Forum: Is there a difference between I don’t know and I don't remember? Phenomenological states associated with retrieval failures (October 1, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86037 86037-21631229@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 1, 2021 2:00pm

When information is remembered or accessed, several measures attempt to tap the phenomenology of that experience (e.g., feeling of knowing, remember/know). But, what about retrieval failures? I'll be presenting a novel and parsimonious method for examining the extent to which individuals can discriminate between what is not available and what is merely inaccessible in their knowledge bases. We first examined this type of metamemory in both younger and older adults and with a wide range of general knowledge difficulty. Current work, funded by an NSF CAREER Award, focuses furthering the theoretical understanding of retrieval failure experiences and ultimately, developing ways to stabilize access to prior knowledge across the lifespan, alongside teaching initiatives that bring this research to older and younger adults together in the classroom.

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.

Translation and Migration: A Virtual Conversation with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio (October 1, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87136 87136-21639082@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 1, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

Join us from 3-4:30 pm via zoom on October 1, 2021 for a virtual conversation with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio about translation and migration in her debut book of creative non-fiction, The Undocumented Americans.

To kick off the tenth annual Translate-a-thon at the University of Michigan, Professor William Stroebel will sit down and talk with Villavicencio about the roles, methods, and uses of translation lurking behind and inside the pages of her book: translation between languages, translation between dialects and registers, translation between spoken and written media, translation between genres of translation like interpretation in legal or journalistic settings and literary translation, along with her current attempts to translate the book into Spanish.

Her book breaks many things. It breaks boundaries between genres, mixing the rhythms of rock and the cadences of hip hop and the political anger of punk and the slow contemplation of lyric poetry into the burning advocacy of its prose reportage (along with a little dose of magical realism to boot). The book also breaks the mold of representation traditionally deployed by advocates and allies, who elevate the gifted DREAMers of DACA into poster children above a faceless, nameless mass of day-laborers, cleaners, construction workers, factory hands, deliverymen, dish washers and dog walkers.

These are the ones who take center stage in her book, and tell their stories as beautifully imperfect, hardworking, weird, and “just people,” sorting through the trauma of an oppressive system built and sustained by their exploitation and terrorization and invisibility. Villavicencio breaks through this invisibility and the taboos of representation and in doing so she calls upon its readers to break the system: “it’s time to fuck some shit up.” But amidst the great praise that this finalist for the National Book Award has won, very little has been said about another thing that her avant-gardism breaks: conventions of translation.

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature and the Language Resource Center at the University of Michigan, with support from the 2021-22 Mellon Sawyer Seminar Series on Sites of Translation in the Multilingual Midwest.

We invite community members of all ages and languages to participate in the annual Translate-a-Thon at the University of Michigan on October 1-2, 2021.

A Translate-a-Thon is a short, intense, community-driven translation marathon, where volunteers interested in translation come together to translate materials for the benefit of our local, national, and international community.

Coordinated by the Language Resource Center and co-sponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature, our Translate-a-thon also promotes a sense of community among translators. We welcome current students and alums, faculty and staff, teachers and students from local high schools, prospective transfer students, professional translators and other interested parties.

This year we are celebrating ten years of the Translate-a-Thon, with a special theme on translation and migration. We kick off the weekend at 3pm on October 1 with a Virtual Conversation with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, author of The Undocumented Americans. We will highlight translation projects for Freedom House Detroit, to support their mission of outreach to asylum seekers.

A range of other community translation projects will also be available to work on over the weekend, remotely or in person. Check out our Translation Gallery with more information for volunteers to translate work on projects in many languages!

We also welcome colleagues from other colleges and universities who would like to observe our activities in order to learn about organizing similar events at their own institutions. To follow up, we will host a workshop on “How to Run a Translate-a-Thon” (for further details contact complit.info@umich.edu).

Guest speaker Dr. Jonathan Henner (UNC Greensboro) will give a talk titled "Are there broken languages for broken people?"

ASL interpreters and CART captioning will be available.

ABSTRACT
Variationist sociolinguistics has examined linguistic variation based on geography, age, gender, and more recently race. The goal behind this field of linguistics is to support the notion that language variation is natural and good. Yet, even within variationist studies, there is still limited discussion on disability as a category for variation. The impact of disability on languaging is still often framed as atypical and deviant, with research focused either on identifying the deviancy (e.g. is it an SLI), or repairing it. From this perspective, that means not all variation is good. The purpose of this colloquium is to discuss the role of disability in language variation and to examine if variation caused by disability should be an acceptable facet of languaging.

About Jonathan Henner: My work thus far has taken three strands: a) I examine how different factors impact the development of language and cognitive skills in deaf and hard of hearing, b) I look at how to best assess and measure the language skills of deaf and hard of hearing populations, and c) I examine how frameworks that linguists and other scientists use contribute to ableist perspectives on language use

Tom Rush may not be as well known as some fellow veterans of Club 47 in 1960s Cambridge, Massachusetts—people like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Judy Collins. Yet he's second to none in terms of his impact down through the years. Rush's three albums for Elektra in the 1960s were key founding documents of the entire singer-songwriter concept, and he's influenced everyone from James Taylor to Garth Brooks. A performer with an abiding love of being in front of an audience, Rush is a rib-tickling storyteller, an expressive singer, and a guitarist capable of real melancholy. He's an Ark favorite, and, says the Chicago Tribune, he's "probably the only man alive who should be allowed to sing Joni Mitchell songs." Tom Rush is, in short, folk royalty. And on top of all this, he's coming to Michigan with a new album, "Voices."

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.

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 (October 2, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84616 84616-21624252@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 2, 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 &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.

Umi's Archive: A Culmination of Love w/Dr. Su'a Abdul Khabeer (October 2, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87671 87671-21644965@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 2, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Arab and Muslim American Studies (AMAS)

Curated by Dr. Su’ad Abdul Khabeer, Umi’s Archive is truly an act of love. Drawing on the remarkable life of her mother, Amina Amatul Haqq, Dr. Su’ad hasn’t just given us an insight into one person’s experience of being Black and Muslim, but has given us access to the vibrant, transformational, and radical contours of Islam as shaped, nurtured and loved by African-American Muslims and the communities that surrounded them. “Umi,” she writes, “was a creative and loving person and Umi's Archive is also a dream space and a labor of love - love for Umi, of course, and love for what she loved: her peoples, knowledge, justice, and liberation.”

As the online exhibition draws to a close, Listening While Muslim joins Dr. Su’ad Abdul Khabeer to celebrate by listening to the music which was the soundtrack of Umi’s life and the communities to which she dedicated her life. On the anniversary of Umi’s return home (may God grant her joy everlasting), Dr. Su’ad will guide us to listen as Umi did – and be inspired. As Dr. Su’ad says, “I offer Umi's Archive as a space where we can imagine those things are possible.” Join us as we listen and imagine.

This event is co-sponsored by the Arab and Muslim American Studies program.

The Accidentals and Sawyer Fredericks (October 2, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84204 84204-21620760@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 2, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location

*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.*

The Accidentals are a multi-instrumental songwriting power trio. They kicked off 2018 with the release of their debut album on Sony Masterworks. And now, after countless festivals and more than 200 days of touring, The Accidentals are busy working on a much anticipated 2020 release. Composing, arranging, and playing tracks for bands like BTS, Keller Williams, and Flint Eastwood, while also scoring an indie film, teaching workshops across the country, and playing alongside symphonies, this band is only just getting started.

With his deep, beyond-his-years original lyrics and melodies, raw, soulful vocals, and powerful live performances, Sawyer seems an unlikely match for reality tv. Still he won Season 8 of NBC’s The Voice and hasn’t stopped his journey since.
