The University of Virginia—designed by Thomas Jefferson and now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site—was built and maintained by 4000 or more enslaved men, women, and children. UVA’s powerful new Memorial to Enslaved Laborers honors the lives, labors, and resistance of the enslaved people who lived and worked at UVA at some point between 1817 and 1865. This interview with members of the memorial’s design team will explore the history, form, and process behind the creation of the memorial. Panelists: Mabel Wilson, Meejin Yoon, Eric Höweler, and Eto Otitigbe, with U-M's Kristin Hass as the interviewer.

Part III, Optional Additional One-on-One Time, 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.
Registration is required of both the student and faculty. Separate registration for faculty is available at https://myumi.ch/gj4Vr.
This workshop is facilitated by the MORE (Mentoring Others Results in Excellence) Committee, a Rackham committee that engages with faculty and graduate students to foster conversations about mentoring.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/erAV5.
We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time (one week preferred) to arrange for your requested accommodation(s) or an effective alternative.

How to Win the Game… and Keep Winning (February 9, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/80001 80001-20556851@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 9, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This lecture will be live streamed

It seems ironic that in a business which is increasingly competitive,
most managers fail to appreciate the basic nature of competition. And
more importantly they do not know how to win the game … Or keep on winning. The purpose of this presentation is to explore the nature of competition, and the methods to win the game …and keep on winning.

Presenter John Branch currently teaches a variety of marketing and
international business courses at the undergraduate, MBA and
executive levels at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the
University of Michigan and serves as Co-Director of the Yaffe Digital
Media Initiative. Previously he was Academic Director of the School’s
weekend and evening MBA programs. In addition, he serves as Director of Educational Outreach at the University’s William Davidson Institute. He also holds an appointment at the University’s Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian studies.

This is the sixth of ten lectures to be presented once each month from September 2020 through June,2021. The next lecture will be held March 8, 2021. The title is The Political Power of Optimism. Learn from well-known experts about an array of interesting subjects, with an interactive Q&A period following each lecture.

Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed to you a few days prior to the first session.

Biopsychology Colloquium: The Role of Opioids in Persistent Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Aging (February 9, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80334 80334-20705789@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 9, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Psychology

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is the collection of cognitive impairments experienced by patients shortly following surgery. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and can last from just a few days to months. The persistent form of POCD is most often experienced by older adults and is a known risk factor for developing Alzheimer's disease. In her talk, Dr. Barrientos will introduce her rodent model of POCD. She will discuss how microglial sensitization in the aged brain makes it more vulnerable to inflammatory challenges leading to precipitous cognitive impairments. She will discuss how opioids, administered for postsurgical pain, can evoke a neuroinflammatory response through a TLR4-mediated mechanism thus prolonging and exacerbating POCD symptoms in aged rats.

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is on view at Stamps Gallery January 18, 2021 – February 28, 2021. The gallery is currently open Tuesdays and Fridays from 2pm to 7pm to U-M faculty, staff, and students with valid MCards only. Learn more about COVID health and safety restrictions prior to your visit:  https://stamps.umich.edu/exhibitions/stamps_gallery
The work in the exhibition can also be viewed online: http://stamps.umich.edu/calendar/event-detail/story_word_sound_sway

Artists: Carisa Bledsoe (BFA Interarts ’14), Schroeder Cherry (BFA ’76), Elshafei Dafalla (MFA ’08), Masimba Hwati (MFA ’19), Caleb Moss (BFA ’13), Senghor Reid (BFA ’99), Valencia Robin (MFA ’08), Yvette Rock (MFA ’99), Wes Taylor (BFA ’04), Levester Williams (BFA ’13), and Elizabeth Youngblood (BFA ’73)

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is an exhibition of work by eleven Stamps School of Art & Design Alumni using performance, movement, text, sound, and design to interrogate systems of oppression and interrupt the status quo. It explores themes of alternative histories, archives, Black identity, collective memory, storytelling; meshing performance and performativity, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the world. An undercurrent of movement explored in multiple variations thread the works together, realized through a variety of methods including painterly gesture, repetitive mark-making, performance with an audience or without, spoken word, ambient sound, and reimagined instruments. The exhibition aspires to pull at the loosened threads of a social fabric in crisis, revealing larger complex histories and art discourses, nationally and internationally, framed through the experiences and trajectories of Stamps alumni during their time in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication that will include interviews with each of the alumni artists conducted by current Stamps’ student and exhibition co-curator Moteniola Ogundipe.

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is co-curated by Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan and Moteniola Ogundipe.

My research vision is to enable multifunctional electrochemical energy systems that boost system-level energy density. Conventional electrochemical energy systems such as batteries, capacitors, and fuel cells are reaching fundamental energy-density limits. To overcome these limitations, I will increase the functionality of these systems. For example, if the airframe of an electric aircraft could also function as a battery, the aircraft could store more energy without a weight or volume penalty, boosting range by 40 to 70%. In this talk, I highlight my work that lays a foundation to enable this idea. I discuss (1) why a zinc–air battery chemistry is promising for this concept; (2) how to efficiently increase the specific energy of electrically rechargeable zinc–air batteries; (3) a manufacturing method to create dendrite-free zinc electrodes that allow for high specific energy; (4) a meta-analysis showing a promising route to enable load-bearing zinc–air batteries; and (5) technical challenges and fundamental questions that I will address at Michigan to realize a load-bearing zinc–air battery for electric aircraft.

Broadside and Lotus: Black-Owned Presses in Detroit (February 9, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80463 80463-20722416@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 9, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University Library

This open house features a selection of published work and archival material from the records of two Black-owned Detroit presses.

Dudley Randall established Broadside Press in 1965 with the goal of cultivating the work of African American writers. The Press’ first publication was a broadside of Gwendolyn Brooks’ “We Real Cool” in 1966 and over the following decades, Broadside published more than 200 poets and writers in broadsides, collections, anthologies, records, and videotapes.

Naomi Long Madgett founded Lotus Press in 1972. It was initially intended as a way of publishing her fourth book of poetry, Pink Ladies in the Afternoon, but it soon developed into a long-term project to find, support, and publish a wide range poets and authors, including Toi Derricotte, May Miller, and Dudley Randall.

Register and we'll send you a Zoom link via email approximately 24 hours before the event: http://myumi.ch/R5wMq

Special Collections After Hours is a monthly open house where we share highlights from the unique historical collections held by the Special Collections Research Center.

Celia Reina: Continuum Mechanics of Non-equilibrium Phenomena: A Journey through Space and Time Scales (February 9, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81199 81199-20872025@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 9, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery and Engineering

Abstract: The fascinating diversity of material behavior at the macroscopic scale can only emerge from the underlying atomistic or particle behavior. Yet, the direct connection between these two scales remains an extremely challenging quest, particularly in the context of non-equilibrium phenomena. In this talk, we will discuss several advances in this direction, in the context of plasticity, thermoelasticity, diffusion and viscous dissipation. In all these cases, the importance of fluctuations in the effective response will become apparent. More precisely, these will provide crucial information for the material description and evolution at the continuum scale, where the behavior is modeled as deterministic and free of fluctuations.

Bio: Celia Reina is the William K. Gemmill Term Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the University of Pennsylvania. She joined in 2014 after holding the Lawrence Postdoctoral Fellowship at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the HCM postdoctoral Fellowship at the Hausdorff Center of Mathematics in Bonn, Germany. Dr. Reina received her PhD from the California Institute of Technology in Aerospace Engineering in 2011, under the supervision of Prof. Michael Ortiz, following a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Seville in Spain, and a Master in Structural Dynamics from Ecole Centrale Paris in France. She is the 2017 recipient of the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty, she is a member of the TTA on Nanotechnology and Lower Scale Phenomena at the USACM, and she currently serves as the recording secretary for the Applied Mechanics Division of the ASME.

Abstract:
A macroscopic theory for cellular states with steady-growth is presented, based on consistency between cellular growth and molecular replication, as well as robustness of phenotypes against perturbations. Adaptive changes in high-dimensional phenotypes are shown to be restricted within a low-dimensional slow manifold, from which a macroscopic law for cellular states is derived, as is confirmed by adaptation experiments of bacteria under stress. Next, the theory is extended to phenotypic evolution, leading to proportionality between phenotypic responses against genetic evolution and by environmental adaptation. Evolutionary relevance of slow modes in controlling high-dimensional phenotypes is discussed. Last, I will touch upon the origin of central dogma in molecular biology as symmetry breaking between function and information.

Together we will explore the dynamics of poverty-looking at what keeps people in it, what's needed to break out of it, and how we can all play a role in building community to end poverty.

Class includes hands-on simulations, thoughtful discussion, and personal stories of struggle and transformation. The final class focuses on solutions and will feature dynamic programs making a real difference right here in Washtenaw County.

Presented by Dunham’s Data: Katherine Dunham and Digital Methods for Dance Historical Inquiry (Harmony Bench, Kate Elswit, Antonio Jimenez-Mavillard, Tia-Monique Uzor)

How do you begin to understand the extent of a particular individual’s global influence on her field? Especially if that influence travels through performance from body to body and place to place in the middle of the twentieth century? You look for data in any and all documents you can get your hands on! That’s what Dunham’s Data did -- they use performance programs, notes written on the backs of envelopes, provisional travel plans, and more to create structured data with which they can better understand the impact of African-American choreographer, teacher, and activist Katherine Dunham. The team behind Dunham’s Data will walk through key datasets and other outcomes from the project, to discuss how this fits into their ongoing research on the questions and problems that make the analysis and visualization of data meaningful for dance historical inquiry. This session will be of interest to those studying the performing arts, but, more broadly, to anyone interesting in thinking about data in new and creative ways!

This webinar is free and open to the public. The recording and slides will be sent to all registrants following the live webinar.

This webinar is part of Love Data Week 2021. Please feel free to share this webinar widely. More information about Love Data Week is available at https://myumi.ch/ICPSRLDW21.

Social, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Costly information acquisition in centralized matching markets (February 10, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80355 80355-20705820@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 10, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Economics

Abstract:
Every year during school and college admissions, students and their parents devote considerable time and effort to acquiring costly information about their own preferences. In a market where students are ranked by universities based on exam scores, we use a market design approach to explore ways to reduce wasteful information acquisition, that is, to help students avoid acquiring information about their out-of-reach schools or universities. We find that, both theoretically and experimentally, a sequential serial dictatorship mechanism leads to less wasteful information acquisition and higher student welfare than a direct serial dictatorship mechanism. This is because the sequential mechanism informs students about which universities are willing to admit them, thereby directing their search. Additionally, our experiments show that the sequential mechanism has behavioral advantages because subjects deviate from the optimal search strategy less frequently under the sequential than under the direct mechanism. We also investigate the effects of providing historical cutoff scores under the direct mechanism. We find that the provision of cutoffs can increase student welfare especially when the information costs are high, although the effect is smaller than that of a sequential mechanism.

Abstract: The increasing omics data and advanced AI technology present a great opportunity for novel biomarker-driven cancer therapies. My talk will cover two parts. First, I will introduce DrBioRight, a natural language-oriented and AI-driven analytic platform for omic data analysis. This platform allows users to perform analysis directly through human languages and it improves the performance through adaptive learning. Armed with NLP and AI technologies, this analytic will maximize the utility of omics data and lead to a new paradigm for biomedical research. Second, I will discuss our recent work on enhancer RNAs. We show that the eRNAs provide explanatory power for cancer phenotypes beyond that provided by mRNA expression through resolving intratumoral heterogeneity with enhancer cell-type specificity. Our study provides a high-resolution map of eRNA loci through which enhancer activities can be quantified by RNA-seq, enabling a broad range of biomedical investigations.

Michael Beauregard Seminar in Macroeconomics: Owning Up: Closely Held Firms and Wealth Inequality (February 10, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81271 81271-20879910@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 10, 2021 4:00pm

Organized By: Department of Economics

This paper studies how wealth inequality is shaped by frictions in debt and equity markets. Using micro data on households and firms for a set of Eurozone countries, I document that in countries with greater wealth inequality, there are more privately held firms and ownership of publicly traded firms is more concentrated. I develop a dynamic general equilibrium model in which entrepreneurs have the option to run a private firm and issue debt, or go public and also issue outside equity. Both forms of external finance are subject to country-specific frictions. More access to debt increases output as well as inequality. More access to outside equity also increases output, but reduces inequality. When parameters are chosen to match the facts I document on firm ownership and financing, the model predicts differences in wealth concentration across countries that closely fit the data. Quantitatively, I find that frictions in equity markets are the key driver of these differences in inequality -- they are nearly six times as important as frictions in debt markets.

This event will be open to students, staff and faculty to engage in community building, networking, and connection.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Semester in Detroit

Racism has been declared a public Health emergency, but this has been given little analytic content. "Structural racism and public health: A way forward?" takes up this challenge. Professor Peter Hammer explores the relationship between spatial-structural racism and the social and economic determinants of health. Water shutoffs in Detroit are taken as a case study. Monica Lewis Patrick, Dr. Nadia Gaber and Dr. Emily Kutil lift up the work of the We The People of Detroit Community Research Collaborative. They will discuss the geography of water shutoffs in Detroit, including new research about how shutoffs have shaped the COVID-19 pandemic. Martina Guzman, the Damon J. Keith Civil Rights Center Racial Equity Media Fellow provides a global perspective juxtaposing water shutoffs in Detroit and South Africa.

Make a Pop-up Valentine Card (February 10, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81583 81583-20927571@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 10, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University Library

This workshop is simple enough for a beginner, and you should be able to create a card with supplies you already have at home! We'll watch a demo of how to create the card, and then you'll have a chance to practice on your own with support from the instructor. No experience is required, and we welcome children and adults.

Supplies needed: Basic computer paper or card stock, old magazines or pretty paper, a glue stick, and a pair of scissors. The project will be easier if you also have a ruler and a bone folder, and a knife for cutting paper would also be useful. You can draw your own heart for the project, but a heart shaped cookie cutter or other heart shaped object to use as a stencil would be helpful.

Presented by the University of Michigan Library as part of a Book Arts Studio series.

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

This lecture will be live streamed.

Professor Kingston will review the evidence for migratory events of early hominins out of Africa as they spread out into the Old World, presumably in response to changing climatic conditions and possibly demographic pressures in this fifth lecture of the six part “Advances in Science” lecture series. Dr. Kingston will examine environmental proxies potentially linked to these dispersal events and genetic evidence for the timing and nature of movement of early hominins.

Professor Kingston is a Biological Anthropologist interested in reconstructing the environmental context of various stages of human evolution. He conducts field research primarily in Africa at various fossil sites, ranging from localities that have yielded remains of apes predating the origin of the human lineage, sites from which fossil humans (hominins) have been recovered, and more recent archeological localities. He is especially interested in identifying factors that drove or mediated evolutionary innovations in our lineage. In this research, he utilizes biogeochemical approaches to reconstruct dietary ecology, climatic conditions, and vegetational structure.

This is the fifth of a six-lecture series. The subject of the series is Advances in Science. The next lecture will be on February 18, 2021. The title is Welcome to the Anthropocene. Learn from well-known experts about an array of interesting subjects, with an interactive Q&A period following each lecture.

Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

Organized By: Judaic Studies

In contemporary parlance, the term “Abrahamic religions” serves to indicate the common ground of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The designation of these three religions as “Abrahamic” is used as a shorthand for their supposed common ancestry as well as for their assumed shared religious principles and values. Since its very purpose is to highlight the commonality of the three religions, the term is always used in the plural.
For medieval thinkers in the Islamicate world, however, the Abrahamic model of religion was radically different from the contemporary one. This lecture will try to show, they referred to Abraham either in order to highlight the exclusive veracity of one specific religion, or, at times, to transcend all conventional religiosity.

CJS Lecture Series | Intimate Disconnections: Divorce and the Romance of Independence in Contemporary Japan (February 11, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80003 80003-20541129@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 11, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

What makes a good marriage? How should men and women feel confident deciding which relationships should end? In the early 2000s, amidst demographic and social changes, divorce in Japan rapidly became a newly visible and viable option. At individual, familial, and national levels, in the early 2000s divorce prompted serious conversations about the value of relationships, and the risks and security they bring to the people involved in them. Based on ethnographic work with men and women, and told through deeply personal narratives, Intimate Disconnections describes both the legal process and social transitions surrounding divorce, providing a complex portrait of people balancing the risks and possibilities of intimate relationships in an era when divorce is ever more common.

Allison Alexy is an assistant professor in the Departments of Asian Languages and Cultures, and Women’s and Gender Studies, at the University of Michigan. A cultural anthropologist focusing on intimacy and family conflicts in contemporary Japan, she has co-edited Home and Family in Japan: Continuity and Transformation (Routledge 2011) and Intimate Japan: Ethnographies of Closeness and Conflict (Hawai’i 2019).

Discussant: Ilana Gershon, Ruth N. Halls Professor of Anthropology, Indiana University.
Ilana Gershon is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Indiana University and the author of "Down and Out in the New Economy: How People Find (Or Don't Find) Work Today" and "TheBreakup 2.0: Disconnecting Over New Media.

Divided Bodies: Lyme Disease, Contested Illness, and Evidence-Based Medicine (February 11, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81109 81109-20850481@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 11, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

While many doctors claim that Lyme disease—a tick-borne bacterial infection—is easily diagnosed and treated, other doctors and the patients they care for argue that it can persist beyond standard antibiotic treatment in the form of chronic Lyme disease. In Divided Bodies, Abigail A. Dumes offers an ethnographic exploration of the Lyme disease controversy that sheds light on the relationship between contested illness and evidence-based medicine in the United States. Drawing on fieldwork among Lyme patients, doctors, and scientists, Dumes formulates the notion of divided bodies: she argues that contested illnesses are disorders characterized by the division of bodies of thought in which the patient's experience is often in conflict with how it is perceived. Dumes also shows how evidence-based medicine has paradoxically amplified differences in practice and opinion by providing a platform of legitimacy on which interested parties—patients, doctors, scientists, politicians—can make claims to medical truth.

This event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works, New Questions series, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.

"Non-Thermal Plasma Air Sterilization: Recent Experimental Validation, Identified Challenges, and Comparisons to Conventional Air Treatment Technologies"

Abstract:
Increasing recognition of the transmissibility of the SARS-CoV-2 virus between humans as airborne aerosols, and the limited options for respiratory protection against such transmission, have drawn attention to air purification products, with their relative advantages and disadvantages being closely considered. This presentation reviews recent experimental achievements in developing non-thermal plasmas (NTPs) to potentially displace HEPA filtration and ultraviolet irradiation for rapid inactivation of airborne viruses in ventilation air. Studies considering both viral surrogates and actual viral pathogens known to cause animal disease are discussed. Unique challenges faced in conducting airborne virus inactivation studies are described along with solutions developed. Finally, performance comparisons between NTP air sterilization and the established technologies of UV irradiation and particle filtration are presented, demonstrating the substantial promise posed by NTP-based approaches.

How to Go Beyond Diversity and Achieve Equity and Inclusion in Academia (February 11, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80487 80487-20728306@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 11, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

RSVP here to receive Zoom link: cew.umich.edu/events/cewinspire-workshop-how-to-go-beyond-diversity-and-achieve-equity-and-inclusion-in-academia

The main objective of this workshop is for participants (faculty, students, administration, and staff) to develop a personal connection with the plight of racial-ethnic and sexual minorities in institutions of higher education. This work is needed for the advancement of individual and institutional empathy so that we can move from tolerating to accepting to celebrating underrepresented minorities in academia. This will be achieved by encouraging workshop participants to identify instances: in their own lives in which structural prejudice and bigotry and individual-level macroaggressions hampered their career development; in which they intentionally and/or unintentionally contributed to advancing structural prejudice and bigotry and/or perpetrated individual-level macroaggressions that may have hampered the career of underrepresented faculty, students, administration, and staff; and in which they were bystanders who did not intervene to dismantle structural prejudice and bigotry and/or address individual-level macroaggressions that they witnessed.

Format: This hands-on workshop will include:
A. A short lecture whose content will include Pinto’s personal experiences and personal examples of the dynamics listed above. This will be reinforced with statistics (e.g., disparities in tenure and promotion), and anecdotes from other minority individuals.

B. Following the lecture, Pinto, in collaboration with other actors, will use Theater of the Oppressed (Port: Teatro dos Oprimidos) techniques to model skits reflecting each of the instances listed above. Skits will be scripted such that the ending of each story will be decided by participants in small groups with an eye toward actions they can take to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the academic space. (Boal A. (1979). Theatre of the Oppressed. New York, NY: Theater Communications Group).

C. Following small group discussions, all participants will reconvene to discuss strategies for welcoming underrepresented minorities into their social networks. This portion of the workshop will help participants to understand how they can help underrepresented minorities develop social capital by lending their social support: emotional, concrete, and informational.

Rogério Pinto accepting on behalf of the Faculty Allies for Diversity Committee: Born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Rogério M. Pinto is a professor and associate dean for research at the University of Michigan School of Social Work. He is the co-chair of the Faculty Allies for Diversity Committee. In his work, Pinto focuses on finding academic, sociopolitical, and cultural venues for broadcasting voices of oppressed individuals and groups. Funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, his community-engaged research focuses on the impact of interprofessional collaboration on the delivery of evidence-based services to marginalized racial/ethnic and sexual minority individuals. Funded by the University of Michigan Office of Research, as a new scholarly pursuit, he is building an art installation, The Realm of the Dead, to investigate his own personal marginalization as a gender non-confirming, mixed-race, and Latinx immigrant. This installation will serve as the stage set for Pinto’s award-winning theatrical performance, Marília, a one-person play, in which Pinto further explores the tragic death of his 3-year old sister, Marília, and how such loss haunts and inspires the lives of the family members she left behind. Marília won the 2015 United Solo Festival Best Documentary Script and it will be performed again at the University of Michigan as part of the centennial celebration of the School of Social Work.

Seminar Abstract:

The major problems in the current therapy for oncologic diseases include its inability to selectively target specific tumor cells in the surrounding tissues that make it hard for the drugs and treatment to reach the tumor cells. Despite the significant progress in the discovery of surface markers, targeting ligands, and biomaterial carriers, very few nanoparticle drugs are truly tumor-specific after intravenous injection and their targeting is still not fully reliable, which results in a wide distribution of nanoparticles throughout the body and increases the chance of adverse side effects. To overcome such limitations, my graduate research implemented immune cells as living targeting and delivery vehicles that deliver therapeutic biodegradable photoluminescent polymer (BPLP)-based nanoparticles to two tumor models, melanoma and glioblastoma. This system takes advantage of the inherent targeting and penetrating capabilities of immune cells into the tumor target and the fluorescent properties of BPLP nanoparticles for in vivo imaging. Our platform technology allows assembling various types of nanoparticles, drugs, imaging agents, and immune cells as a treatment for different diseases in the future. The second part of the seminar introduces how the immune cells can also be genetically engineered for cancer immunotherapy in vivo. Even with huge success in the development of CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells for B-cell hematological malignancies, we still face major challenges in expanding adoptive cell transfer for solid tumors. To expand this adoptive cell therapy, finding the right targets for solid tumors that are tumor- and tumor microenvironment-specific is the foremost important step. During my postdoctoral work, we have found an epitope within the collagen alpha-3(VI) (COL6A3) gene, which can be used as a biomarker to target stromal cells associated with multiple solid tumors. COL6A3-specific TCRs were isolated and one of these TCRs was affinity enhanced so that the T cells expressing TCR variants that preserved COL6A3 specificity and endowed both CD4 and CD8 T cells with augmented effector functions were able to specifically eliminate tumors in vivo that expressed similar amount of peptide-human leukocyte antigen (pHLA) as primary tumor specimens with favorable safety profile with no detectable off-target reactivity. These preclinical findings serve as the basis and rationale to initiate clinical trials using COL6A3-specific TCRs to target an array of solid tumors. As a principal investigator, my lab will first focus on merging immunology, synthetic biology, genetic engineering, material science, and biomedical engineering to develop and evaluate the next generation T cell-based therapies that target and kill solid tumors with enhanced specificity, reduced toxicity, and the ability to overcome tumor-associated immunosuppression.

Chair's Distinguished Lecture: Traffic In Near-Earth Space: A Wicked Problem Of A Complex System Requiring A Transdisciplinary Solution (February 11, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81658 81658-20941440@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 11, 2021 4:00pm

The space domain is what you get when you mix a wicked problem with a complex system, whose behavior is difficult to model and predict due to unknown dependencies, non-linear causal relationships, incomplete and even contradictory knowledge, competing opinions, and other types of interactions amongst the participants and constituents of the domain.

Given the vast and deep developments of each scientific field, coupled with globalization and competing interests, problems related to the space domain are finding themselves unsolvable through unidisciplinary or even multidisciplinary efforts because the space domain represents a complex system where the measured aspects of it are not explained by simply aggregating the behaviors of individual participants and constituents. The emergent behavior is more than the individual sum of its parts. Solving wicked problems in a complex system requires transdisciplinary, which is a fused or holistic solution from the melange of multiple disciplines concurrently. You’ll recognize a transdisciplinary solution when it is difficult if not impossible to identify the unique contribution of any specific discipline to the solution.

We have developed ASTRIAGraph as an initial transdisciplinary solution to this space traffic problem. We describe this development in terms of a digital twin and library making the best of sound data engineering, science, and analytics, with real world examples.

Organized By: Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery and Engineering

Bio: Saibal De is a 5th year PhD candidate in Applied and Interdisciplinary Mathematics. His research involves using high-performance computing and novel algorithms for accelerating physics-based simulation frameworks, and developing faithful reduced-order models of black-box high-fidelity simulations.

Abstract: With the advancement of computing software and hardware, physics-based simulations have gained notoriety in many scientific and industrial applications due to their highly accurate prediction capabilities. However, in addition to being computationally expensive, even a single of these high-fidelity simulations produce massive amounts of data. Storing and processing all these data thus requires novel approaches. In this talk, I will present how we can use tensor factorization methods for compressing scientific data, leading to dramatic savings in disk-space usage. Towards the end of the talk, I’ll also touch upon how we can potentially construct reduced-order models out of these compressed datasets.

Marcelo Hernandez Castillo is a poet, essayist, translator, and immigration advocate. He is the author of *Cenzontle* (BOA editions, 2018), chosen by Brenda Shaughnessy as the winner of the 2017 A. Poulin Jr. prize and winner of the 2018 Northern California Book Award. *Cenzontle* maps a parallel between the landscape of the border and the landscape of sexuality through surreal and deeply imagistic poems. Castillo’s first chapbook, *Dulce* (Northwestern University Press, 2018), was chosen by Chris Abani, Ed Roberson, and Matthew Shenoda as the winner of the Drinking Gourd Poetry Prize. His memoir *Children of the Land* (Harper Collins, 2020) is his most recent publication and explores the ideas of separation from deportation, trauma, and mobility between borders.

Castillo was born in Zacatecas, Mexico and immigrated at the age of five with his family to the California central valley. As an AB540 student, he earned his B.A. from Sacramento State University and was the first undocumented student to graduate from the Helen Zell Writers Program at the University of Michigan. His immigration case was used by the Supreme Court to justify the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) under president Obama. Castillo is a founding member of the Undocupoets campaign which successfully eliminated citizenship requirements from all major first poetry book prizes in the country and was recognized with the Barnes and Noble “Writers for Writers” award from Poets &Writers Magazine. Through a literary partnership with Amazon Publishing he has helped to establish The Undocupoet Fellowship which provides funding to help curb the cost of submissions to journals and contests.

He is the translator of the Argentinian modernist poet, Jacobo Fijman and is currently at work translating the poems of the contemporary Mexican Peruvian poet Yaxkin Melchy whose poems combine digital, environmental, and indigenous studies into a cosmopolitan melée specific to Mexico City. Castillo also co-translated the work of the Mexican poet Marcelo Uribe with C.D. Wright before her untimely passing.

Castillo’s work has been adopted to Opera through collaboration with the composer Reinaldo Moya and his work has appeared or been featured in The New York Times, PBS Newshour, People Magazine en Español, The Paris Review, Fusion TV, Buzzfeed, Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature and Fine Arts, New England Review, and Indiana Review, among others. He currently teaches in the Low-Res MFA program at Ashland University. He lives in Marysville, California, with his wife and son.


The Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (BA ’64, LLDHon ’13). For more information, please visit the Zell Visiting Writers Program webpage: https://lsa.umich.edu/writers

Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

Join the Bentley Historical Library for this Making Michigan conversation with archivists Nancy Bartlett and Sarah McLusky about the gendered spaces of the Michigan League and Michigan Union. You’ll learn how the architects achieved their vision of separate spaces for men and women; why students and alumni/ae envisioned these buildings as their clubhouses—rather than the University’s; and how these iconic destinations served as the backdrop for rituals and relaxation, from formal dances to solitary study. Archival photographs, architectural drawings, and other memorabilia will illustrate the lecture, with discussion of how these items are used in current classes for learning about the history of campus culture. The session will be moderated by Gary Krenz of the Bentley Historical Library.

Statistics Department Seminar Series: Alex Bouchard-Côté, Associate Professor, Department of Statistics, University of British Columbia (February 12, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/80564 80564-20740177@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 12, 2021 10:00am

Organized By: Department of Statistics

Abstract: In the first part of the talk, I will present an adaptive, non-reversible Parallel Tempering (PT) allowing MCMC exploration of challenging problems such as single cell phylogenetic trees. A sharp divide emerges in the behaviour and performance of reversible versus non-reversible PT schemes: the performance of the former eventually collapses as the number of parallel cores used increases whereas non-reversible benefits from arbitrarily many available parallel cores. These theoretical results are exploited to develop an adaptive scheme to efficiently optimize over annealing schedules.

In the second half, I will talk about the global communication barrier, a fundamental limit shared by both reversible and non-reversible PT methods, and on our recent work that leverage non-linear annealing paths to provably and practically break that barrier.

My group is also interested in making these advanced non-reversible Monte Carlo methods easily available to data scientists. To do so, we have designed a Bayesian modelling language to perform inference over arbitrary data types using non-reversible, highly parallel algorithms.

Do you study Russian and want more opportunities to develop your speaking skills in a welcoming and low-stakes environment? Are you looking for an opportunity to socialize with your peers and bond over the difficulties of learning a foreign language? Would you like to learn more about the culture of one of the most politically important and fascinating regions of the world with the coolest undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Michigan?

If the answer to any or all of the above questions is "yes", then you should check out the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures weekly Russian conversation club (called КРЯ - Клуб Русского Языка)! Every Friday at 11:00, we convene for lighthearted discussion of ourselves, our language studies, and of course, the culture of the Russophone world. Regular attendance is not mandatory - you can drop in and out as you wish, and club participants are always willing to help each other out with questions about the language during our discussions. We meet in two groups, the first aimed at first-year students or any who are beginning their language study, and the second targeted towards students who have studied the language for at least a year. Participants are also encouraged to join our discord server, where we post weekly meeting announcements and other Russian-language related content.

Chytrid fungi and the functional specification of actin networks (February 12, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80068 80068-20550967@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 12, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology

Hosts: Laura Buttitta & Tim James

Abstract: Eukaryotic cells often use their actin cytoskeleton for multiple functions at the same time. For example, the actin networks of human epithelial cells can *simultaneously* control cell migration, endocytosis, vesicular trafficking, cell polarity, and other actin functions important for human health. Despite having distinct functions, individual actin networks share structural components and regulators, including polymerization factors, polymer bundlers, and proteins that promote network turnover. Determining how cells control different subsets of actin functions, and how these functions change over time, are difficult questions to address given the large amount of molecular overlap and spatial proximity between functionally distinct actin networks in animal cells. Budding and fission yeasts—the other most commonly-used model systems to study actin—have spatially separated actin networks, a property that has made them powerful for determining precise molecular mechanisms underlying actin-dependent functions like endocytosis. Yeast, however, have lost important actin structures including an actin cortex and protrusions used for cell motility. Yeasts are also missing many important regulators of human actin networks, making it difficult to determine to what extent the rules of actin network specification of yeast can be applied to animal cells. To bridge this gap, my lab uses chytrid fungi as a system to study the functional specification of animal-like and yeast-like actin networks because: (a) chytrids are early-branching fungi and have retained actin regulators found in human cells that have been lost by yeast and other fungi as well as fungal-specific actin network components (1), and (b) chytrids undergo natural developmental transitions between motile, animal-like cell types with an actin cortex and sessile, yeast-like cell types with cell walls and physically separated actin networks. In this seminar, I will explain how we came to study these fascinating fungi and how we are now using chytrid fungi as a system to study the functional specification of animal-like and yeast-like actin networks and the developmental transitions between them.

At this CSEAS Lecture Series, we will screen the film "Ghost Tape #10," which will follow with a Q&A with the Director Sean David Christensen.

Free and open to the public. Please register at http://bit.ly/38nadB7

Film Synopsis:

Created by the U.S. Army during the American War in Viet Nam, *Ghost Tape #10* was one of many audiotapes engineered to psychologically intimidate and demoralize the North Vietnamese Army through its depiction of the Buddhist afterlife. By re-examining this weaponization of religious belief, reflections on this artifact of American propaganda lead to meditations on relationships between the living and the dead, asking what truths, if any, still echo within this recording.

Film Director Bio:

Sean David Christensen (b. 1985) is a visual artist who works in music & film. His work has been featured at the Hammer Museum, San Francisco International Film Festival, Austin Film Festival & Pictoplasma Berlin. His films have screened at the Angelika Film Center, Phoenix Art Museum & the Musée des beaux-arts in Montréal. His artwork has been presented on Rolling Stone, and his experimental documentary *The Duel*, based on a true story by actress Lili Taylor, was named a Vimeo Staff Pick in 2018. Amy R. Handler of Moving Pictures has described his filmmaking as, “Brilliant...fragile & hypnotic,” and Sundance Award-winning director Jay Rosenblatt has described Christensen's short films as, “Evocative...they do what many short films fail to do, make you wish they were longer.” Christensen is a graduate of the Center for Visual Anthropology at the University of Southern California and lives & works in Los Angeles.

Death, Mobility, and Empire in the Chincha Valley, Peru (February 12, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81730 81730-20949381@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 12, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location

Indigenous groups develop strategies for dealing with imperial control when they confront expanding empires. One strategy in pre-modern Peru was mortuary practice, a means of expressing relationships among the living and the dead. To what extent and for what purpose did indigenous groups transform mortuary practices during periods of conquest? Who were the dead? To address these questions, I employ an approach that integrates archaeological data, ancient DNA (aDNA), and other lines of evidence to examine two distinct grave types—chullpas (above-ground and subterranean mausolea) and subterranean cists— in the Chincha Valley of the Peruvian south coast. These graves date to the Late Intermediate Period (1000 – 1400 CE), Late Horizon (1400 – 1532 CE), and the Colonial Period (1532 – 1825 CE). Results demonstrate that indigenous peoples sustained, abandoned, and created entirely new mortuary practices under Inca and Spanish rule. Genome-wide data from six individuals in two cemeteries coincide with ceramic, textile, isotopic, and sixteenth-century documents to suggest that the Inca moved individuals from the Peruvian north coast to the Chincha Valley. This research widens the scope of imperialism studies to include a mortuary perspective on the dynamics between empires and indigenous peoples and provides evidence of state-sponsored resettlement in the Andes.

Methods Hour: Interrater Reliability: The limitations of Cohen's kappa in classroom observation research (February 12, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80374 80374-20711700@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 12, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Psychology

Abstract:
Cohen's kappa is the coefficient commonly reported (and requested by reviewers) as measure of the consistency of two and more raters. Usually, the objects to be rated are clearly defined or given. Our study design was more complex: Two raters identified misbehaviors in classroom video and classified them according to a coding scheme. How to measure/report interrater reliability? Is it ok to base Cohen's kappa (or Krippendorff's alpha) only on those roughly 20% of misbehaviors that both raters identified and coded? Are there alternative approaches for future studies?

This open-ended discussion forum will center around various “keywords” of your choosing. We invite you all to contribute a keyword or theme that you are currently thinking about in relation to your own research. Our goal with this virtual event is to think collectively, form connections, and inspire creative directions.

You do not need to come prepared with a presentation, but merely an idea, thought, or question centered around your chosen word. Equally, there is no requirement that you come prepared to discuss a specific keyword if you would prefer to attend as a listener/respondent.

For inspiration, you might turn to the Victorian Literature and Culture 'Keywords' double-issue containing hundreds of mini-essays on keywords.

In any combat scenario it is advantageous to be invisible or nearly invisible to your adversary (recall Desert Storm/bombing of Baghdad in 1991). In any situation it is very important to limit your opponent’s ability to harm you. More than 50 years ago initial stealth efforts focused on incorporating materials into an airplane’s design to reduce radar signatures. This proved to be a difficult and elusive goal. Today ‘stealth’ is designed into virtually every military vehicle.

This seminar will review the history of early stealth efforts and conclude with where the state-of-the-art is today. Air vehicles will be the main focus but it will also become clear that stealth is being added to the designs of land and sea vehicles as well. In this discussion reducing the ‘signature’ of an air vehicle to radar will be the primary focus. However, it should be recognized that IR (infrared), audible, and visual signatures can also be very important. They will be introduced with little discussion.

Ultimately, the goal is to have a vehicle survive and be able to fly tomorrow’s missions or successfully penetrate enemy positions to destroy its target. Stealth is a major component of survivability but it is not the only one.

What was the first stealth airplane? You may be surprised to learn the answer.

About the speaker...
Mr. Carichner went to work for the Lockheed Skunk Works after earning his BS Engr and MS Engr degrees from UCLA. He retired in 2013 after 48 years at the Skunk Works where he worked on most of the company’s high-profile programs. During his career he started out as an aerodynamicist and eventually became Head of Aerodynamics for the Skunk Works. Future program assignments were either Chief Engineer or Program Manager positions. As Chief Engineer for the JASSM Program he was selected as Lockheed’s Inventor of the Year.

The last 15 years of his career were dedicated to lighter-than-air designs. He created the Aerocraft Program whose design resulted in a hybrid airship demonstrator that had many airplane flight characteristics that has changed the course of future airship design.

Currently, Mr. Carichner teaches Airplane Design at Cal Poly Pomona.

Mr. Carichner has written two textbooks. One on airplane design and another on airship design. Both books are published by the AIAA

Abstract:
Working memory and episodic memory processes both decline with age. Correlational evidence suggests reduced working and age-related episodic memory difficulties are closely related. However, Bartsch, Loaiza & Oberauer (2019) recently failed to find that reduced working memory causes older adults’ EM impairment. The study used a three-alternative forced-choice recognition task to test memory for word-pairs immediately after encoding, tapping working memory processes, and then again later in the task, ultimately tapping episodic memory processes. Interestingly, probing the contents of working memory in this manner may have negatively affected subsequent episodic memory for the same word-pairs. Alternatively, testing working memory may serve as an opportunity for retrieval practice that will improve episodic memory. The current project investigates the conditions in which testing working memory will be beneficial and when it will reveal memory vulnerability and explores whether the effects of testing working memory on episodic memory depends on individual differences in working memory capacity.

Story, Word, Sound, Sway (February 12, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80761 80761-20785430@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 12, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is on view at Stamps Gallery January 18, 2021 – February 28, 2021. The gallery is currently open Tuesdays and Fridays from 2pm to 7pm to U-M faculty, staff, and students with valid MCards only. Learn more about COVID health and safety restrictions prior to your visit:  https://stamps.umich.edu/exhibitions/stamps_gallery
The work in the exhibition can also be viewed online: http://stamps.umich.edu/calendar/event-detail/story_word_sound_sway

Artists: Carisa Bledsoe (BFA Interarts ’14), Schroeder Cherry (BFA ’76), Elshafei Dafalla (MFA ’08), Masimba Hwati (MFA ’19), Caleb Moss (BFA ’13), Senghor Reid (BFA ’99), Valencia Robin (MFA ’08), Yvette Rock (MFA ’99), Wes Taylor (BFA ’04), Levester Williams (BFA ’13), and Elizabeth Youngblood (BFA ’73)

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is an exhibition of work by eleven Stamps School of Art & Design Alumni using performance, movement, text, sound, and design to interrogate systems of oppression and interrupt the status quo. It explores themes of alternative histories, archives, Black identity, collective memory, storytelling; meshing performance and performativity, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the world. An undercurrent of movement explored in multiple variations thread the works together, realized through a variety of methods including painterly gesture, repetitive mark-making, performance with an audience or without, spoken word, ambient sound, and reimagined instruments. The exhibition aspires to pull at the loosened threads of a social fabric in crisis, revealing larger complex histories and art discourses, nationally and internationally, framed through the experiences and trajectories of Stamps alumni during their time in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication that will include interviews with each of the alumni artists conducted by current Stamps’ student and exhibition co-curator Moteniola Ogundipe.

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is co-curated by Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan and Moteniola Ogundipe.
