MORE (STUDENT) Session: Getting Your Mentoring Relationship Off to a Good Start (October 21, 2022 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/96355 96355-21792300@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 21, 2022 9:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

This virtual workshop helps enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor by facilitating the development of shared expectations. Mentors and mentees work independently in separate sessions to identify their own objectives and styles, and considete t  r strategies for dealing with possible challenges. Then, student-faculty pairs work together to develop a written mentoring plan as a means of codifying some of the most important elements (needs, goals, mutual expectations) of a two-way mentoring relationship. Over 85 percent of Rackham doctoral students who have written mentoring plans report those plans to be useful.
Faculty who have attended a MORE workshop in the past should feel free to join the workshop only for the student-faculty work together (the last hour of the workshop). Registration is still required of both the faculty and the student.
Optional additional time for developing a mentoring plan is available from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/n8b78.
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, preferably one week, to arrange for your requested accommodations or an effective alternative.

The Clements Bookworm: Fundraising has a history you can tell through Objects with Amanda Moniz (October 21, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/98038 98038-21795507@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 21, 2022 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

We know the names of major givers in American history. We recognize the power of the everyday philanthropists who have shaped and reshaped the nation. But we have largely overlooked the stories of people who have done the hard work of raising money for charitable causes from the colonial era to today. Yet fundraising has a history and Amanda Moniz is working to tell it as she builds the Smithsonian’s new philanthropy collection.

Amanda B. Moniz, Ph.D., is the David M. Rubenstein Curator of Philanthropy at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. She curates a long-term exhibit, Giving in America, and is building the Smithsonian's collection of objects telling stories about Americans' historical experiences of giving, fundraising, and working in and using charitable institutions. Her book, From Empire to Humanity: The American Revolution and the Origins of Humanitarianism, was awarded ARNOVA’S inaugural Peter Dobkin Hall History of Philanthropy Book Prize. She is currently working on a biography of Isabella Graham, an immigrant widow who transformed philanthropy in early national New York, and is grateful to the Clements Library for supporting research in its collections about Graham. Moniz received her Ph.D. in History from the University of Michigan in 2008, and during graduate school, she worked at the Clements as a curatorial assistant in the Manuscript Division.

This episode of the Clements Bookworm is generously sponsored by Kristin Cabral ‘88, Member of the Clements Library Associates Board.

LaToya Ruby Frazier: Flint Is Family In Three Acts (October 21, 2022 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95590 95590-21790393@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 21, 2022 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Organized by Stamps Gallery in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, and the Flint Institute of Arts.
“No matter how dark a situation may be, a camera can extract the light and turn a negative into a positive. In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history; in Act II, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative; in Act III, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”
—LaToya Ruby Frazier
Flint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets, activists, mothers and residents of Flint, Michigan, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs, video, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures, Stamps Gallery, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Tracee Glab, and Steven L. Bridges with the assistance of Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Rachel Winter, and Rachael Holstege.

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

Water is the lifeblood of civilizations, the center of cities, the foundation of creation stories and the connective tissue of culture. Water is a life force, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing, quenching, and refreshing but has also been commodified, polluted, and politicized. From the Standing Rock, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin, to water shutoffs in Detroit, PFAs in Ann Arbor, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few), ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional, intergenerational, and collective knowledge sharing, discussion and action to protect.
Call for Work
Stamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care, sustainability, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”
Eligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday, August 19, 2022 →
Eligibility
Must be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline
The deadline for submitting work is Friday, August 19, 2022, 5pm, EST. A selection committee composed of students, faculty, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15, 2022 - January 14, 2023.Why posters & videos?
Posters can function as catalysts for change. 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.
Context
Stamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social, political, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races, genders, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality, structural racism, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality, belonging, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

Heartfulness Guided Meditation (October 21, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88544 88544-21791401@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 21, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly, drop-in program designed to help you nourish your spirit and heal your body and mind.

All U-M students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required.

Advanced Wellness techniques are taught on the first Friday of the Month and that session will be about 45 mins.

*What will you learn?*

The guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation, rejuvenation, and meditation.

Relaxation brings your body to a calm, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice.

*Why Meditate?*

While physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony.

*Event Details*

As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Tracee Glab, and Steven L. Bridges with the assistance of Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Rachel Winter, and Rachael Holstege.

Water is the lifeblood of civilizations, the center of cities, the foundation of creation stories and the connective tissue of culture. Water is a life force, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing, quenching, and refreshing but has also been commodified, polluted, and politicized. From the Standing Rock, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin, to water shutoffs in Detroit, PFAs in Ann Arbor, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few), ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional, intergenerational, and collective knowledge sharing, discussion and action to protect.
Call for Work
Stamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care, sustainability, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”
Eligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday, August 19, 2022 →
Eligibility
Must be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline
The deadline for submitting work is Friday, August 19, 2022, 5pm, EST. A selection committee composed of students, faculty, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15, 2022 - January 14, 2023.Why posters & videos?
Posters can function as catalysts for change. 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.
Context
Stamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social, political, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races, genders, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality, structural racism, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality, belonging, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

Painted by the Venetian artist-engineer Jacopo Bassano in 1576, The Flood of the Colmeda commemorates the 1564 inundation of a small town in the mountains to the north of Venice. Adopting an ecocritical perspective, this paper argues that Bassano’s painting evokes period speculation about the potential human causes of flooding on the Venetian mainland. This argument in turn suggests that the artist's rustic style was a response not only to the taste for pastoral imagery in the city of Venice, but also to mounting concerns regarding the deleterious environmental effects of aggressive agricultural expansion throughout the Venetian empire.

2022 CMENAS Fall Colloquium: Higher Education & Reformation across the MENA: A Geopolitical Exploration

“Between Authoritarianism and Neoliberalism”

Muez Ali & Laura Mann, University College London (UK) & London School of Economics and Political Science (UK): *The Long-term Consequences of the Commercialization and Politicization of Higher Education on Employment and Politics in Sudan*

In the 1990s, Sudan underwent a massive expansion and commercialization of its higher education system, moving from having three to 27 universities over a ten-year period. Within each university, student numbers also rose, and shorter two-year diplomas were also introduced in an effort to raise revenue. Access to higher education expanded dramatically, but administrators and academics struggled to maintain educational quality and to protect the value of their qualifications in the labour market. Sudan’s experience reflects broader trends within the Middle East and Africa, in part driven by the World Bank’s ‘rate of return’ calculations, which de-prioritized public spending on higher education. But the policy also emerged from Sudan’s own political economy, with a new regime seeking to weaken sectarian control over elite reproduction through universities and state employment. This talk explores some of the long-term consequences of these changes for economic development and politics in Sudan, and situates the country’s experience within broader regional trends.

Saeid Golkar, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (USA): *Higher Education in Authoritarian Context: Iran as a case study*

This is a study of state and Universities relationship in modern Iran. Despite the constant suppression of students by Pahlavi monarchy, students were actively engaged in anti-regime activities and, in collaboration with other social groups, finally brought the regime down in 1979. However, the Islamic Republic has seen fewer regime-threatening protests from university students. Why did the Pahlavi monarchy fail while the Islamic Republic succeeded in controlling the universities? What are the differences between the Pahlavi monarchy and the Islamic Republic's higher education policies?

Speaker Bios:
Muez Ali is a Doctoral Researcher at the UCL Energy Institute and Research Associate at LSE CPAID. His research interests and work span several cross-cutting fields, including public service provision, climate change, social policy and knowledge production in Sub-Saharan Africa in general and Sudan in particular.

Laura Mann is an assistant professor in the International Development Department at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and an affiliate of the Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa, also at the LSE. Her research explores the role of knowledge and technology in processes of economic development and international divergence, with a particular focus on higher education policy and digitization. Her doctoral work focused on the expansion of higher education in Sudan but since then has worked on digitization and development in Sudan, Kenya and Rwanda.

Saeid Golkar is a UC Foundation Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He is also a non-resident senior fellow on Middle East Policy at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs (CCGA) and The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change in the UK. He received his PhD in political science in 2008. Since then, he's held a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University and researched and taught at Northwestern Universit and served as a fellow at the National Endowment for Democracy and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. His research focuses on the international and comparative politics of authoritarian regimes, emphasizing the Middle East and North Africa. His book, *Captive Society: The Basij Mobilization and Social Control in Post-Revolutionary Iran* Columbia University Press, 2015, was awarded the Washington Institute silver medal.

In this talk, Amina Boukail outlines the development of contemporary scholarship on Algerian Jews. In doing so, she offers a critical examination of contemporary research on Algerian Jews in several languages (Arabic, French, Hebrew, English, and Spanish) in order to demonstrate how scholarship on the history of Algerian Jews has been impact by and has developed in relation to certain historical processes (French colonialism, postcolonial French-Algerian relations, the establishment of the State of Israel, and the Palestinian cause).

Amina Boukail addresses a number of questions: What are the trends in recent studies on the topic of Jews of Algeria? How do other factors impact the writing of Algerian Jewish history? What are some new interdisciplinary avenues of exploration on this topic? Are there sufficient studies compared to the studies that deal with the Jews of Tunisia or Morocco? What topics still remain taboo when it comes to the history of Jews in Algeria?

Her review of the principal currents in the study of Algerian Jews is divided into two sections: First, the study of Jews in Algeria in France, the United States, and Israel; second, the study of Jews in Algeria in Algerian universities.

*Amina Boukail* is an Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature in the Department of Arabic Language and Literature at the University of Jijel in Algeria. She received her Doctorate in Comparative Literature from the University of Annaba in 2016. Her current research interests include: Arabic Medieval literature; Cultural Contacts in Medieval Iberia; Cultural Minorities in the Arab world; Hebrew Cultures in North Africa; Sephardic Literature and Judeo-Arabic Heritage in Algeria; Muslim-Jewish relations in Algeria; Colonialism and Literature.

We study a reform that increased compulsory schooling in Britain. Using a regression discontinuity design, we find that, in line with prior studies, compulsory schooling caused an increase in income. However, it also caused a decrease in subjective well-being, or happiness. Using an extensive survey, we provide evidence that education affects both reference points and outcomes, but the former more than the latter. That is, while outcomes improve for those subject to compulsory education, they improve less than the individuals themselves expect they will.

Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy is an eight-week program designed to teach people how to live more mindfully, even in the face of challenges like depression and anxiety. The course teaches a blend of cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques as a way to interrupt unhelpful thinking patterns and increase non-judgmental awareness of the present moment.

As a result of this course, you can expect an increase in self-compassion and less reactivity in challenging situations. Participants report feeling more connected to themselves and more satisfied in relationships with others.

Prospective participants should call the Psych Clinic at (734) 764-3471 to schedule a virtual individual screening visit. This preliminary screening will allow you to work with a clinician to ensure that the group is right for you.

LaToya Ruby Frazier: Flint Is Family In Three Acts (October 26, 2022 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95590 95590-21790395@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 26, 2022 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Organized by Stamps Gallery in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, and the Flint Institute of Arts.
“No matter how dark a situation may be, a camera can extract the light and turn a negative into a positive. In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history; in Act II, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative; in Act III, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”
—LaToya Ruby Frazier
Flint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets, activists, mothers and residents of Flint, Michigan, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs, video, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures, Stamps Gallery, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Tracee Glab, and Steven L. Bridges with the assistance of Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Rachel Winter, and Rachael Holstege.

Water is the lifeblood of civilizations, the center of cities, the foundation of creation stories and the connective tissue of culture. Water is a life force, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing, quenching, and refreshing but has also been commodified, polluted, and politicized. From the Standing Rock, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin, to water shutoffs in Detroit, PFAs in Ann Arbor, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few), ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional, intergenerational, and collective knowledge sharing, discussion and action to protect.
Call for Work
Stamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care, sustainability, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”
Eligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday, August 19, 2022 →
Eligibility
Must be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline
The deadline for submitting work is Friday, August 19, 2022, 5pm, EST. A selection committee composed of students, faculty, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15, 2022 - January 14, 2023.Why posters & videos?
Posters can function as catalysts for change. 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.
Context
Stamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social, political, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races, genders, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality, structural racism, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality, belonging, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series - Would electoral research show different findings if we replaced probability face-to-face surveys with other types of surveys? (October 26, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99079 99079-21797546@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 26, 2022 12:00pm

Would electoral research show different findings if we replaced probability face-to-face surveys with nonprobability online surveys?

Hannah Bucher is a PhD student in survey research at the University of Mannheim and a research associate at GESIS - Leibniz-Institute for the Social Sciences at the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES). Her research focuses on (non)probability online surveys.

As respondents of nonprobability online surveys are self-selected, it is often questioned whether results are comparable with those of probability face-to-face surveys. In this paper, I compare a nonprobability online survey and a probability face-to-face survey by the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES) in terms of estimation of benchmark statistics; distributions in 80 variables covering measures of political attitudes and behavior; and differences in results of multivariate analyses through a multimodel comparison with individual-level voter turnout as the dependent variable. The probability face-to-face survey performs slightly better in estimating characteristics with external benchmarks. There are substantial differences in numerous variables and their associations in multivariate models. Thus, switching from a probability face-to-face survey to a nonprobability online survey affects empirical findings on individual-level voter turnout and the conclusions drawn therefrom.

MPSDS
The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

SISRT
The mission of the Summer Institute is to provide rigorous and high quality graduate training in all phases of survey research. The program teaches state-of-the-art practice and theory in the design, implementation, and analysis of surveys. The Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques has presented courses on the sample survey since the summer of 1948, and has offered such courses every summer since. Graduate-level courses through the Program in Survey and Data Science are offered from June 5 through July 28 and available to enroll in as a Summer Scholar.

The Summer Institute uses the sample survey as the basic instrument for the scientific measurement of human activity. It presents sample survey methods in courses designed to meet the educational needs of those specializing in social and behavioral research such as professionals in business, public health, natural resources, law, medicine, nursing, social work, and many other domains of study.

Join us in community to practice mindfulness meditation, a life-enhancing skill that can be learned with consistent practice. This formal, largely-guided, practice utilizes evidence-based cognitive training that bolsters one's ability to handle stress, poor mood, and threat.  This weekly mindfulness practice encourages present moment, non-judgemental, awareness – noticing where your focus and attention are and continually inviting attention to current mind and body sensations in a kind and compassionate way.

Mindfulness meditation opens the possibility to pause, gain perspective, attend to the present, and respond accordingly. In our ever-changing, complex, and challenging world, mindfulness can provide grounding. As one form of contemplative practice, mindfulness meditation can offer a framework to support a more skillful approach to navigating the demands of being human and support practitioners to build resilience and take compassionate action.

Whether you are new to mindfulness meditation or are an experienced practitioner, each session is designed to offer guidance and support to assist you. All are welcome to attend weekly or drop-in as their schedule allows.

Many dream of being their own boss, but Jillian Lukas Rodriguez (Sociology & Creative Writing, ‘12) brought this dream to fruition when she became a freelance copywriter shortly after graduating. Jillian describes herself as “a lifelong lover of words.” Jillian’s day job is a senior copywriter at a learning innovation company, a position she landed after spending her twenties building her own freelance copywriting business, where she served as a brand voice for many different companies. She’s since gone on to full-time work with two of her former clients, the first of which was a mission-driven entrepreneurial group. Coming to U-M as a first-generation college student, Jillian used her sociology and creative writing degrees to fuse her passion for people together with her love of words to craft a unique career path she hadn’t thought possible. In a world where freelancing, the gig economy, and side hustles are becoming increasingly attractive, Jillian returns to LSA to share the ups and downs of the freelance world, how to harness your freelancing experiencing towards securing full-time roles, and the skillset an LSA degree can provide should you pursue the independent freelance route.

About Jillian:


Jillian Lukas Rodriguez thrives at the intersection of content and community. A lifelong lover of words, Jillian is a 2012 graduate of the University of Michigan LSA and the Residential College, studying Sociology and RC Creative Writing. She graduated with highest honors and earned an RC “Robbies” award for high achievement in creative arts.


Jillian is passionate about the power of words and stories to build connections, solve problems, and inspire positive change. She has dedicated her professional career to doing just that, first as a freelance writer where she built a one-person copywriting house to support a range of organizations in their marketing, branding, and business efforts and helping to bring their brand stories to life. Since then, she’s gone full-time and served as a Social Content Lead for FleishmanHillard’s Chevrolet small and electric cars accounts, as well as serving as Chief Storyteller for the mission-driven entrepreneurial group the Small Giants Community. Jillian’s copywriting has made its way to national outlets such as Forbes.com and ThriveGlobal. Today, she’s Senior Copywriter for Maestro, a learning innovation company that inspires change in learners at Fortune 500 companies such as Royal Caribbean Cruises and Target.

Getting involved in research is a great way to build your skills and get the “behind the scenes” look into the science that you later learn about in your textbooks and classes. If you’re thinking of going to graduate or medical school, ideally you want to be starting in a lab by your sophomore year and in most cases no later than your junior year. But how do you find and apply for a position? And what do you do if there’s a pandemic and no positions are available? We’ll go over tips for both these situations.

LaToya Ruby Frazier: Flint Is Family In Three Acts (October 27, 2022 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95590 95590-21790396@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 27, 2022 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Organized by Stamps Gallery in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, and the Flint Institute of Arts.
“No matter how dark a situation may be, a camera can extract the light and turn a negative into a positive. In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history; in Act II, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative; in Act III, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”
—LaToya Ruby Frazier
Flint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets, activists, mothers and residents of Flint, Michigan, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs, video, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures, Stamps Gallery, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Tracee Glab, and Steven L. Bridges with the assistance of Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Rachel Winter, and Rachael Holstege.

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

Water is the lifeblood of civilizations, the center of cities, the foundation of creation stories and the connective tissue of culture. Water is a life force, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing, quenching, and refreshing but has also been commodified, polluted, and politicized. From the Standing Rock, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin, to water shutoffs in Detroit, PFAs in Ann Arbor, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few), ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional, intergenerational, and collective knowledge sharing, discussion and action to protect.
Call for Work
Stamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care, sustainability, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”
Eligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday, August 19, 2022 →
Eligibility
Must be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline
The deadline for submitting work is Friday, August 19, 2022, 5pm, EST. A selection committee composed of students, faculty, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15, 2022 - January 14, 2023.Why posters & videos?
Posters can function as catalysts for change. 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.
Context
Stamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social, political, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races, genders, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality, structural racism, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality, belonging, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

Immunity at the oral mucosal barrier surface (October 27, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99907 99907-21798867@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 27, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Office of Research School of Dentistry

My research has been focused on oral mucosal immunity with an emphasis on aberrant inflammatory conditions of
the oral cavity. Over the past decade I have established an independent research program at the NIH aimed at
understanding the molecular and cellular basis of oral immunity in health and in the common inflammatory disease,
periodontitis. In health, the oral immune system maintains a delicate balance with a rich and diverse community of
oral commensals, performing immune surveillance while preventing inflammation. Understanding mechanisms
involved in susceptibility and pathogenesis of periodontitis is not only critical for understanding the disease itself,
but may provide insights into shared mechanisms involved in inflammatory diseases. In periodontitis, the
microbiome is considered a key disease trigger, but it is also well documented that disease occurs and progresses
more rapidly in susceptible individuals. Our studies are focused on host/microbe interactions preserving health and
mediating inflammatory disease in the oral cavity. Ultimately, we aim to define key pathways involved in
susceptibility and progression of aggressive forms of periodontitis with the goal of identifying therapeutic targets.
Our program implements a bench to bedside approach for the study of periodontal immunity and is particularly
focused on the regulation of Th17 immunity in health and periodontitis. Our studies leverage the diverse strengths
of the NIH intramural environment and interrogate mechanisms involved in human oral immunity through the study
of patients with monogenic immune disorders, supplemented by relevant animal models and novel immunologic
techniques for the study of tissue immunity.

Academic & Community Collaborations (October 27, 2022 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100241 100241-21799381@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 27, 2022 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

Universities have a long and storied history of collaboration with community organizations and organizers. Yet these collaborations are not without their challenges, as wealthy, predominantly white universities must address issues of power, privilege, and competing priorities for these collaborations to succeed. While decades of research and experience have illustrated some best practices in academic-community collaborations, the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing politicalization of research, growing public support of advocacy movements like Black Lives Matter, and the increasing reliance on social media have forced community organizers to engage in new and creative efforts to support their communities. How can universities best evolve to collaborate with and support community organizations amid these new challenges?

On October 27, join Dr. William Lopez for a discussion with Gladys Godinez, Cecia Alvarado, and Karina Perez, three Latina organizers and creatives with decades of experience advocating with and for Latino communities. Together, they will share their experiences on academic collaborations, describing what they’ve done, when it’s worked well, when it’s gone wrong, and what academics can do to best support the communities with whom they collaborate.

Co-Sponsored by the NCID's Anti-Racism Collaborative, Poverty Solutions, the Department of American Culture, the Latina/o Studies Program, and the Carceral State Project.

Facilitator:
-William D. Lopez, Clinical Assistant Professor in the School of Public Health and Senior Advisor at Policy Solutions at the University of Michigan

Panelists:
-Gladys Godinez, Co-Founder and Co-Director of United by Culture Media
-Cecia Alvarado, Executive Director of Somos Votantes

Studio Safar: The Inherent Politics of Design (October 27, 2022 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97005 97005-21793682@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 27, 2022 5:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Studio Safar is a design agency and publisher with offices in Beirut and, now, Tiohtia:ke (Montreal). The studio adopts an experimental approach to design. Evoked by its name, the studio is concerned with notions of communication across cultural and linguistic barriers. Projects span different media and design frameworks such as communication strategies, publications, visual identities, exhibitions and sets, and websites. Most of the work services the extended cultural sector, and is engaged in social and political discourse.
As opposed to having a signature style, Studio Safar is committed to creating singular design solutions for each collaboration. While drawing on a number of artistic and cultural influences and inspirations, research remains central to the design process. The studio collaborates with a network of creatives from a wide array of fields. The studio publishes the biannual and bilingual (Arabic/English) design and visual culture journal, Safar. The magazine answers to the lack of critical writings on design in the global south, and it works towards acknowledging designers as active agents of cultural production. The studio is also expanding into publishing books on design in the region.
Design is inherently political— it shapes our cities, our homes, bodies, and minds. It curates, connects, arranges, and defines. And, perhaps above all, it carries the power to shape our responses to challenges big and small, local and global, short and long term. This talk comes from an urge to decolonize visual culture from decades of European and American hegemony.
Studio Safar are in residence at Riverbank Arts in Flint, where the exhibition Flint ✕ Safar opens on October 14th. On October 15th, Studio Safar will be releasing Flint Magazine: Issue 3 at the Detroit Art Book Fair.

Shot in the wake of world war, *Late Spring* (*Banshun*) is one of Ozu’s most powerful films. It tells the story of a widowed father who feels compelled to marry off his beloved only daughter. Eminent Ozu players Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara command this poignant tale of love and loss in postwar Japan, which remains as potent today as ever—and a strong justification for its maker’s inclusion in the pantheon of cinema’s greatest directors.

The show will also featured words spoken about the program by Crystal Harding (of YCHS) and district leadership regarding the importance of the arts in education for Ypsilanti students and the wider Washtenaw county area.

Ki5 Bio | Singer-songwriter and producer Kyler Wilkins, from Ann Arbor, Michigan, has been performing as Ki5 with a loop station capturing original vocal arrangements and covers since 2017. Ki5 delivers familiar genres such as R&B, pop, and folk through the lens of an a cappella singer-songwriter. His honest, empathetic, and freeing style has been influenced by Reggie Watts, Bobby McFerrin, and Bon Iver. In August 2022, Ki5 released his debut full-length album “Spirit” in partnership with the Amplify Fellowship and Christopher Porter of Ann Arbor’s Pulp had this to say about the album: “Positivity and emotional openness course through Wilkins' words, which he sings earnestly and passionately without overselling, the sentiments flowing easily and naturally from his heart.”

Ki5 is active on Patreon and all social media at “ki5loops,” and more info can be found at ki5loops.com

Lorian Janine Bio | Lorian Janine is a creative singer-songwriter from Detroit Michigan. She began playing the violin at age eight and continued to grow in her musical gift to play the guitar and drums. Although she sang in her church choir from age 11, Lorian didn’t find her own passion for singing and begin to explore her voice until 18. Lorian has put out her first single project, “Middle of the Sea,” with the Amplify Fellowship.

Abstract: While the past decade has witnessed tremendous progress in the computational, methodological and applied aspects of optimal transport (OT), our understanding of fundamental statistical questions in this context has lagged behind.

One of the central objects in the OT framework is the OT map -- the map which optimally transports samples from a source to a target distribution. In the statistical context, our goal is to estimate this map from samples from the source and target distributions. We will discuss some of our recent results on estimating the optimal transport map between smooth distributions. These results are based on novel stability bounds for the OT map and they show that various, easy to compute plugin estimators are minimax optimal. We will also develop some results for constructing confidence intervals/bands for the Wasserstein distance, and for the OT map, centered around our proposed plugin estimates.

This is based on joint work with Tudor Manole, Jonathan Niles-Weed and Larry Wasserman.


Sivaraman Balakirshnan is an Associate Professor with a joint appointment in the Department of Statistics and Data Science and in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon. https://www.stat.cmu.edu/~siva/

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

Organized by Stamps Gallery in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, and the Flint Institute of Arts.
“No matter how dark a situation may be, a camera can extract the light and turn a negative into a positive. In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history; in Act II, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative; in Act III, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”
—LaToya Ruby Frazier
Flint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets, activists, mothers and residents of Flint, Michigan, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs, video, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures, Stamps Gallery, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Tracee Glab, and Steven L. Bridges with the assistance of Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Rachel Winter, and Rachael Holstege.

Water is the lifeblood of civilizations, the center of cities, the foundation of creation stories and the connective tissue of culture. Water is a life force, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing, quenching, and refreshing but has also been commodified, polluted, and politicized. From the Standing Rock, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin, to water shutoffs in Detroit, PFAs in Ann Arbor, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few), ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional, intergenerational, and collective knowledge sharing, discussion and action to protect.
Call for Work
Stamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care, sustainability, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”
Eligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday, August 19, 2022 →
Eligibility
Must be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline
The deadline for submitting work is Friday, August 19, 2022, 5pm, EST. A selection committee composed of students, faculty, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15, 2022 - January 14, 2023.Why posters & videos?
Posters can function as catalysts for change. 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.
Context
Stamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social, political, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races, genders, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality, structural racism, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality, belonging, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

Please join us for a discussion of U-M Comparative Literature PhD candidate Amanda Kubic’s dissertation chapter, “The Body in Fragments.” You can sign up to receive the chapter and Zoom link here: https://forms.gle/21EXryxj5JGy9oi16.

“In this chapter, I explore how various women poets and artists in the late 20th and early 21st century have received two of the most exemplary fragmented female figures from Greek antiquity: the Venus de Milo and Sappho. In five fragmentary exercises, I look at the performance art of Irish artist Mary Duffy in “Cutting the Ties that Bind (Heroes)” (1987) and Vital Signs: Crip Culture Talks Back (1995), the contemporary poems of Robin Coste Lewis in Voyage of the Sable Venus (2015), the lyrics of co-authors Olga Borumas and T. Begley in Sappho’s Gymnasium (1994), and selections from Greek poet Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke’s collections Beings and Things on Their Own (1986) and The Scattered Papers of Penelope (2009). Through these examples, I invite us to think more about how a corpus in pieces can (re)signify for contemporary women artists looking to antiquity to understand bodily presence and absence in the material and narrative archives of the past; racialized, (dis)abled, and gendered embodiment; and queer/crip subjectivity, desire, and aesthetics.”

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly, drop-in program designed to help you nourish your spirit and heal your body and mind.

All U-M students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required.

Advanced Wellness techniques are taught on the first Friday of the Month and that session will be about 45 mins.

*What will you learn?*

The guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation, rejuvenation, and meditation.

Relaxation brings your body to a calm, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice.

*Why Meditate?*

While physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony.

*Event Details*

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

Join us live from London at Shakespeare’s iconic Globe Theatre for the 50th Anniversary of Alternative Miss World, renowned sculptor Andrew Logan's celebration of transformation, creativity and beauty that goes beyond gender, age, race and sexuality. Since its humble beginnings in Logan’s London studio in 1972, and first inspired by the British dog show Crufts, the celebration has become an internationally renowned beacon of glittering light, colour and joy, attracting artists, performers, and misfits of all kinds.
The event has gained celebrity status, with notable judges, co-hosts and contestants such as Divine, Leigh Bowery, David Hockney, Zandra Rhodes, Jarvis Cocker, Derek Jarman, Grayson Perry, Brian Eno and the stars of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
At its heart, as the host and hostess, Andrew Logan embodies the role of high priest of colour and joy. He shepherds his flock of colourful creatives and ingenious innovators, all gathered together in the church of artistic celebration that is Alternative Miss World. Over the years, designers such as Zandra Rhodes, Rae Spencer Cullen, Bill Gibb, and Lawrence Corner Stones have helped dream-up and create the iconic outfits worn by Andrew. The male and female sides are split down the middle in each, symbolizing the ideas central to the Alternative Miss World.
There are three categories for the contestants to create looks for - daywear, swimwear and evening wear. Some choose to adorn themselves with high-fashion garments, others change their silhouettes completely to become more than human - and some choose not to wear anything at all! Each performer brings something truly unique to the stage.
Logan has described the show as his “most important artwork”, which perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the event. Performance art, pageantry, and sculpture all come crashing together for one night only, in a spectacle that must be seen to be believed.
Andrew Logan is a scene-maker whose work spans the fields of sculpture, theater, pageants, jewelry, and interior design. Logan crosses cultures and embodies artistic fantasy in a unique and unprecedented way, and his work is the art of popular poetry and metropolitan glamour. From his early fame amongst London’s fashionable crowd, he has become an influential artist of international stature. The Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture in Wales is the only European museum dedicated to a living artist.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE
On October 28th, 2022 at 7pm, join us at the State Theater in Ann Arbor for a screening of the Senegalese horror film Saloum. Tickets are free and first come first served. Please note: masks are required in the theater except when seated and eating.
2021 | 84 minutes | French | Senegal
Directed by: Jean Luc Herbulot

Halaloween Horror Rating 3/5
Rating explanation: Shamanic/folkloric, postcolonial thriller. Contains violence, gore, enslavement, paramilitary killings, civil war, violence involving children and childhood sexual trauma, and drugs. The film is a supernatural thriller, rather than being in the traditional horror film genre.
Religious content: This film is not explicitly Muslim, but is set in majority-Muslim Senegal and engages with general West African religion and spirituality.

Shot down after fleeing a coup and extracting a drug lord from Guinea-Bissau, a group of mercenaries must lie low at a remote holiday camp, stash their stolen haul, and repair their plane to escape back to Dakar, Senegal.

LaToya Ruby Frazier: Flint Is Family In Three Acts (October 29, 2022 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95590 95590-21790398@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 29, 2022 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Organized by Stamps Gallery in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, and the Flint Institute of Arts.
“No matter how dark a situation may be, a camera can extract the light and turn a negative into a positive. In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history; in Act II, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative; in Act III, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”
—LaToya Ruby Frazier
Flint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets, activists, mothers and residents of Flint, Michigan, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs, video, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures, Stamps Gallery, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Tracee Glab, and Steven L. Bridges with the assistance of Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Rachel Winter, and Rachael Holstege.

Water is the lifeblood of civilizations, the center of cities, the foundation of creation stories and the connective tissue of culture. Water is a life force, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing, quenching, and refreshing but has also been commodified, polluted, and politicized. From the Standing Rock, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin, to water shutoffs in Detroit, PFAs in Ann Arbor, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few), ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional, intergenerational, and collective knowledge sharing, discussion and action to protect.
Call for Work
Stamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care, sustainability, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”
Eligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday, August 19, 2022 →
Eligibility
Must be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline
The deadline for submitting work is Friday, August 19, 2022, 5pm, EST. A selection committee composed of students, faculty, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15, 2022 - January 14, 2023.Why posters & videos?
Posters can function as catalysts for change. 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.
Context
Stamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social, political, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races, genders, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality, structural racism, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality, belonging, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

2022 CMENAS Fall Colloquium: Higher Education & Reformation across the MENA: A Geopolitical Exploration

“Between the Global Economy and the 4th Industrial Revolution”

Shana Cohen, University of Cambridge (UK): *Why doesn't higher education lead to jobs in North Africa?*

This presentation will examine how governments in the region, like that in Morocco, have invested in higher education and the political and economic importance of this investment. While participation in higher education has increased, unemployment rates amongst graduates have remained relatively high compared to groups with lower education rates for decades. This has implications for intergenerational equality, social and political identity, and even public revenue based on taxation. These trends provoked the Arab Spring and continue to be critical for politics, despite the backsliding on democratic reform. The presentation explores these issues substantively and how they can be researched.

Magdalena Karolak, Zayed University (UAE): *The complexity of tertiary education reforms in the Gulf Cooperation Council: A case study of Bahrain *

This presentation explores, to begin with, the growth of tertiary education institutions in the context of the Gulf Council Cooperation (GCC) countries. The overview focuses on the expansion of the sector in light of the population growth, absorption of graduates into the labor market, economic diversification, and strategic planning deployed by the GCC governments. Added to this are the requirements related to the 4th Industrial Revolution and the role of education in preparing a versatile workforce. The analysis also stresses the differences in terms of business models, the variety of the educational offer, and the student body. Secondly, using the case study of Bahrain, the presentation illustrates the processes of standardization, regulation, and control over tertiary education institutions and the difficulties experienced in the past with regard to meeting the requirements. All in all, the overview presents the complexities of carrying out educational reforms in the GCC context.

Speaker Bios:

Shana Cohen is the director of TASC, an independent think tank based in Dublin that focuses on issues related to inequality and democracy in Ireland and the EU. She is also an affiliated lecturer with the Department of Sociology, University of Cambridge, and co-editor of the *Journal of North African Studies*. She has conducted research in Morocco for many years, examining the social consequences of economic policy and the political role of civil society. Her current interests include how to reduce long-term unemployment and underemployment in the MENA region and the economic and social impact of climate action and investment in climate-oriented industries in the region.

Magdalena Karolak is associate professor of humanities and social sciences at Zayed University, UAE. She received her Ph.D. in linguistics, MAs in political science and in Latin American studies, and a BA in French language. Prior to working at ZU, Professor Karolak held assistant professor positions in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. In 2014-15, she was an American Political Science Association MENA fellow. Her research interests include transformations of societies in the MENA region and comparative linguistics. Professor Karolak has published more than 50 journal articles and book chapters on the shifting gender relations, social media, culture and identity, and political system transformations in MENA countries. She is the author of three scholarly monographs.

Mindfulness Based Cognitive Group Therapy - Fall 2022 (November 1, 2022 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/98539 98539-21796894@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 1, 2022 5:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University Psychological Clinic

Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy is an eight-week program designed to teach people how to live more mindfully, even in the face of challenges like depression and anxiety. The course teaches a blend of cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques as a way to interrupt unhelpful thinking patterns and increase non-judgmental awareness of the present moment.

As a result of this course, you can expect an increase in self-compassion and less reactivity in challenging situations. Participants report feeling more connected to themselves and more satisfied in relationships with others.

Prospective participants should call the Psych Clinic at (734) 764-3471 to schedule a virtual individual screening visit. This preliminary screening will allow you to work with a clinician to ensure that the group is right for you.

LaToya Ruby Frazier: Flint Is Family In Three Acts (November 2, 2022 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95590 95590-21790399@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 2, 2022 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Organized by Stamps Gallery in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, and the Flint Institute of Arts.
“No matter how dark a situation may be, a camera can extract the light and turn a negative into a positive. In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history; in Act II, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative; in Act III, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”
—LaToya Ruby Frazier
Flint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets, activists, mothers and residents of Flint, Michigan, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs, video, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures, Stamps Gallery, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Tracee Glab, and Steven L. Bridges with the assistance of Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Rachel Winter, and Rachael Holstege.

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

Water is the lifeblood of civilizations, the center of cities, the foundation of creation stories and the connective tissue of culture. Water is a life force, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing, quenching, and refreshing but has also been commodified, polluted, and politicized. From the Standing Rock, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin, to water shutoffs in Detroit, PFAs in Ann Arbor, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few), ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional, intergenerational, and collective knowledge sharing, discussion and action to protect.
Call for Work
Stamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care, sustainability, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”
Eligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday, August 19, 2022 →
Eligibility
Must be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline
The deadline for submitting work is Friday, August 19, 2022, 5pm, EST. A selection committee composed of students, faculty, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15, 2022 - January 14, 2023.Why posters & videos?
Posters can function as catalysts for change. 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.
Context
Stamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social, political, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races, genders, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality, structural racism, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality, belonging, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

Xinyu Zhang
A Multivariate Stopping Rule for Survey Data Collection

Bio
Xinyu Zhang is a PhD candidate studying survey and data science at the University of Michigan. He is primarily interested in responsive survey designs, survey nonresponse, and machine learning techniques. His dissertation topic is using models to inform responsive survey designs.

Abstract
Surveys are experiencing declining response rates. With more and more effort expended to combat these declining response rates, the cost of large-scale surveys has continued to rise. Recent technological developments in survey data collection have allowed the survey designer to make near-real-time intervention decisions. Stopping rules are one of the interventions often considered to improve the efficiency of data collection. Stopping some cases essentially reallocates effort from stopped cases to others, but most previously proposed stopping rules have only considered single estimates. In multipurpose surveys, there may be data quality objectives that must be met for multiple estimates with constraints on costs. We introduce a stopping rule that accounts for the cost and the quality of one or more estimates. The proposed stopping rule is illustrated via simulation using data from the Health and Retirement Study.

MPSDS
The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

SISRT
The mission of the Summer Institute is to provide rigorous and high quality graduate training in all phases of survey research. The program teaches state-of-the-art practice and theory in the design, implementation, and analysis of surveys. The Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques has presented courses on the sample survey since the summer of 1948, and has offered such courses every summer since. Graduate-level courses through the Program in Survey and Data Science are offered from June 5 through July 28 and available to enroll in as a Summer Scholar.

The Summer Institute uses the sample survey as the basic instrument for the scientific measurement of human activity. It presents sample survey methods in courses designed to meet the educational needs of those specializing in social and behavioral research such as professionals in business, public health, natural resources, law, medicine, nursing, social work, and many other domains of study.

Join us in community to practice mindfulness meditation, a life-enhancing skill that can be learned with consistent practice. This formal, largely-guided, practice utilizes evidence-based cognitive training that bolsters one's ability to handle stress, poor mood, and threat.  This weekly mindfulness practice encourages present moment, non-judgemental, awareness – noticing where your focus and attention are and continually inviting attention to current mind and body sensations in a kind and compassionate way.

Mindfulness meditation opens the possibility to pause, gain perspective, attend to the present, and respond accordingly. In our ever-changing, complex, and challenging world, mindfulness can provide grounding. As one form of contemplative practice, mindfulness meditation can offer a framework to support a more skillful approach to navigating the demands of being human and support practitioners to build resilience and take compassionate action.

Whether you are new to mindfulness meditation or are an experienced practitioner, each session is designed to offer guidance and support to assist you. All are welcome to attend weekly or drop-in as their schedule allows.

Webinar: Collaborative Science Conversations: BOO! Does Working Across Political Boundaries Scare You? Try Collaborative Science! (November 2, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99408 99408-21798175@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 2, 2022 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

Ecosystems don’t care about political boundaries, even if the natural resources within them are managed by multiple entities. Research projects that span political boundaries can often be sticky – decisions are made on long timelines, changes in policy and staff can derail implementation of projects and the tools they produce, and it can be difficult to effectively engage diverse stakeholders so that their perspectives inform the work. Enter: collaborative science. In situations with complex and competing interests, there is a higher likelihood that science will be applied to decision making when problems are tackled with a collaborative science framework. In this webinar, collaborative science project teams will discuss how to work across political boundaries and with different partners to develop shared tools, models, and action plans that will improve ecosystem management.

Collaborative Science Conversations
The NOAA RESTORE Science and NERRS Science Collaborative programs are back at it, teaming up to bring you the voices of project teams from the field through our Collaborative Science Conversations webinar series. These sessions dig into the unique value of collaborative science, what it feels like in practice, and tips and strategies for success.

Neural Architecture Exhibition & Symposium (November 2, 2022 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99553 99553-21798329@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 2, 2022 5:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

The Neural Architecture Symposium at Taubman College presents itself as an opportunity to survey the emerging field of Architecture and Artificial Intelligence, and to reflect on the implications of a world increasingly entangled in questions of the agency, culture, and ethics of AI. This rapidly developing field of architectural inquiry is ripe for a rigorous interrogation. Almost daily, new practices emerge that focus on the incredible opportunities that an expanded human mind through AI offer for the discipline of architecture. At the same time, AI is observed with suspicion in regards to potentially displacing entire practices out of the field. The symposium oscillates between those poles of tension, in order to inform the public audience, and the discipline, about the status quo and the vision of this paradigm-changing new ecology of design.

AI is quite a generalist term, used to describe several varying approaches. In Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence is defined as the study of Intelligent Agents, which includes any device that perceives its environment and that takes actions to maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. In general, the term Artificial Intelligence is applied when a machine mimics cognitive functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as learning and problem-solving. The prevailing trajectory of this line of inquiry is preoccupated with aspects of optimization, such as ideas of optimizing floorplans, material consumption, and time schedules of construction sites – which cover the tamed problems of disciplinary considerations. At the same time, it interrogates the wicked problem in the production of architecture – creativity, intuition, and sensibility. This opens ontological questions about the nature of creativity, its role in the inception of architectural projects, and the methods to evaluate this. This symposium and exhibition would be among the first of its kind, framing this problem in this particular way. Can an AI create a novel sensibility (?) -and if so: can we as humans perceive and understand it? This is one of a set of questions that the event is set out to examine and explicate through the format of the symposium. This symposium serves as a launch pad for the examination of an emergent field of technology that is currently profoundly changing multiple levels of society, economy and culture demonstrated through the use in the discipline of architecture.

The topic is presented through a series of lenses: design projects, speculations, theoretical considerations, and scientific insight. This combination allows for an insightful, but entertaining symposium, about a very pressing affair in architecture and society at large. The stunning visual quality of the projects and proposed architecture studios in combination with the voice of science and theory allow for a deep interrogation of current development in architecture. This symposium and exhibition will provide insights into posthuman design methodologies operating in a world shifting away from an anthropocentric universe. We consider that, in the foreseen future, humans will continue using the machine as their tool, not the other way around.

The first genuinely 21st-century Architecture design method

Taubman College is perceived as a pioneer within this novel area of inquiry in the architecture discipline – an area that will affect every aspect of the discipline. Not only the theory but also the practice, the construction, and the use of architecture. It is possibly the first genuinely 21st-century Architecture development, as it will change the way architecture is conceived, designed, and built on a massive scale. Posing questions about authorship, the nature of ingenuity, of imagination, and creativity the proposition discusses a posthuman world operating within this frame of considerations.

Demystifying Artificial Intelligence

A particular goal of this Symposium is to demystify Artificial Intelligence for the population of the architecture community as much as for the public at large. The term AI evokes dark pictures of dominance, control, and surveillance triggered through movie productions such as Terminator, The Matrix, and Ex Machina. Nothing could be farther away from the truth. The bigger danger these days are data abuse and bias in datasets. Both of which form part of a conversation within the program of the Symposium. For one the ethical questions of operating AI’s within the architecture discipline. Questions that are discussed in interdisciplinary panels consisting of architects, computer scientists,s and roboticists.

"Long before Alanis and Jewel," says Billboard, "there was a breed of singer/songwriters whose earthly anthems of soul-searching, heartache, and joy touched souls in a way few can muster today." Karla Bonoff was the best of that breed. This California singer-songwriter looked herself in the eye with each song she wrote, and her sad, knowing music was recorded by Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Aaron Neville, Wynonna Judd ("Tell Me Why"), and a host of others, and a younger generation of female songwriters was listening closely. "Her melodic sense, personal lyrics, and vocal stylings have found their way into the work of everyone from Shawn Colvin and Jonatha Brooke to Sarah McLachlan and Paula Cole," writes Catie Curtis. Today she writes just a few songs a year and makes them count. Karla’s shows include new material as well as versions of her classic songs.

LaToya Ruby Frazier: Flint Is Family In Three Acts (November 3, 2022 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95590 95590-21790400@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 3, 2022 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Organized by Stamps Gallery in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, and the Flint Institute of Arts.
“No matter how dark a situation may be, a camera can extract the light and turn a negative into a positive. In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history; in Act II, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative; in Act III, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”
—LaToya Ruby Frazier
Flint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets, activists, mothers and residents of Flint, Michigan, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs, video, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures, Stamps Gallery, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Tracee Glab, and Steven L. Bridges with the assistance of Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Rachel Winter, and Rachael Holstege.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Water is the lifeblood of civilizations, the center of cities, the foundation of creation stories and the connective tissue of culture. Water is a life force, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing, quenching, and refreshing but has also been commodified, polluted, and politicized. From the Standing Rock, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin, to water shutoffs in Detroit, PFAs in Ann Arbor, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few), ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional, intergenerational, and collective knowledge sharing, discussion and action to protect.
Call for Work
Stamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care, sustainability, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”
Eligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday, August 19, 2022 →
Eligibility
Must be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline
The deadline for submitting work is Friday, August 19, 2022, 5pm, EST. A selection committee composed of students, faculty, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15, 2022 - January 14, 2023.Why posters & videos?
Posters can function as catalysts for change. 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.
Context
Stamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social, political, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races, genders, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality, structural racism, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality, belonging, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: U-M Aphasia Program (UMAP)

The free, virtual social hour is open to people with aphasia and is a low-pressure way to practice communication skills and connect with others. Building confidence and staying social are some of the best things you can do for yourself and loved ones when aphasia is a part of your life!

Aphasia social hours will now occur twice a month, on every First and Third Thursday, from 1-2 pm (EST), via Zoom.

2022 Fall/Winter Dates
+ Sept. 1 and 15
+ Oct. 6 and 20
+ Nov. 3 and 17
+ Dec. 1 and 15

PLEASE NOTE: While all are welcome, the intent behind the social hours is to offer a place for people with aphasia to connect and practice their communication skills. While care partners are encouraged to assist the person with aphasia, we ask that care partners refrain from taking an active role in the conversation so people with aphasia have the time and space to connect.

Description of the Presentation: In this presentation, Dr. Devon Price introduces attendees to the neurodiversity movement and the social model of disability, explains what Autism really is versus the pervasive myths we've all been told about the neurotype, and outlines essential accommodations that neurodiverse people require from care providers, in their workplaces, and from public institutions. This workshop places particular emphasis on the phenomenon of masked Autism, where marginalized and under-diagnosed populations of Autistic people are required to camouflage and compensate for their Autistic traits because they do not meet the cultural stereotype of what Autism "looks like" and thus receive far less support. The costs of masking and the ways in which narrow social standards force disabled people to mask, and how we might collectively work to build a more accepting society will also be highlighted.

About the presenter: Dr. Devon Price is the author of the books Laziness Does Not Exist and Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity. He is a social psychologist and professor at Loyola University of Chicago’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies. Devon's work has appeared in Slate, Business Insider, Financial Times, HuffPost, Psychology Today, and on NPR and PBS, and he has given recent speaking engagements at Nike, Indeed, The University of North Carolina, Ohio State University, the Ontario Public Library System, the Ohio Board of Developmental Disabilities, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research. He lives in Chicago, Illinois.

ChE Seminar: "Redefining, repurposing, and reprogramming post-translational modification enzymes" (November 3, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100706 100706-21800263@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 3, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Chemical Engineering

The ChE seminar series features guest speakers. U-M ChE faculty and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.

ABSTRACT:
The ability to introduce a chemo- and regioselective post-translational modification (PTM) into a protein is foundational to our understanding of health and disease and is at the center of most chemical biology, synthetic biology, biotechnological and biomedical advances. The Denard Lab aims to redefine, repurpose, and reprogram enzymes that catalyze PTMs (PTM-enzymes), with a focus on proteases and protein ligases. We think of reprogramming a PTM-enzyme in three ways: through protein engineering to modify its biochemical properties, by functional interactions with a selective ligand, through substrate engineering and profiling. To achieve these goals, we have developed several high-throughput functional screens.

In this talk, I will first present our current results on engineering the specificity of a human protease towards new targets, using a high throughput directed evolution platform called YESS 2.0. Our long-term goal is to engineer proteases capable of degrading aggregated proteins. Such engineered enzymes could serve as modalities to investigate and treat protein aggregation diseases (synucleopathies, transthyretin amyloidosis). In early results, we have isolated neurosin variants with switched specificity capable of cleaving peptide substrates found in alpha-synuclein. These variants exhibit reduced activity towards a consensus sequence found in protease activatable receptors. Second, I will share our recent advancements in developing a high-throughput platform to discover protein-based modulators that can reprogram a PTM-enzyme. Our platform is designed to isolate protein-based binders, including nanobodies, antibodies, ScFvs, that can inhibit, activate, or change the substrate specificity of an enzyme. Our results have established this platform as a high-throughput discovery for protease inhibitory nanobodies. Lastly, we developed a platform to comprehensively profile the substrate specificity of sortases. Using Streptococcus pyogenes sortase A as a model, we show that extending the sortase substrate beyond the P1’ residue enhances sortase-mediated ligation kinetics. Most importantly, this comprehensive profiling reveals several non-canonical sortase substrates, some of which exhibit higher ligation kinetics compared to known sortase substrates.

BIO:
Dr. Denard received his B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from North Carolina State University. He then moved to the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he obtained his PhD under the tutelage of Prof. Huimin Zhao. As a Dow Chemical fellow, his PhD thesis centered on developing cooperative one-pot chemoenzymatic reactions. Dr. Denard later completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the lab of Prof. Brent Iverson at the University of Texas at Austin establishing high-throughput platforms for engineering the substrate specificity of proteases to enable their use as protein therapeutics. Dr. Denard joined the University of Florida Chemical Engineering department as an Assistant Professor in January 2022. His research focuses on protein engineering for therapeutic and synthetic biology applications, with a focus on reprogramming PTM-enzymes. For these ongoing efforts, the Denard lab received the NIH MIRA award in September 2022

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Our weekly seminar series featuring internal and external speakers in the field of ecology and evolutionary biology. This seminar will be in-person and livestreaming on Zoom (link this page).

Abstract:
Corals and their relatives are some of the most ecologically important metazoans on earth, from shallow waters to the deep sea. With ocean conditions changing at rates faster than previously recognized, we must determine the factors that shape coral diversity across depth, space, and time. And because the drivers of marine diversity are poorly known in the largest environment on earth—the deep sea—I often focus my questions on processes that generate deep-sea coral diversity. Therefore, with collaborators across the world, I am combining genomic approaches with museum specimens and ocean exploration to rebuild the coral tree of life and answer fundamental questions regarding coral diversity.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Models of Cardiac Performance (November 3, 2022 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100777 100777-21800343@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 3, 2022 4:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Abstract:
Medical imaging provides several opportunities to collect data for building patient-specific computational models of the heart. These models estimate performance variables that may not be measured directly (e.g., tissue stress and strain, hemodynamics, or electrical activity). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can acquire time-resolved images that quantitatively encode structure, function, flow, and remodeling. This talk will summarize recent advances on how these MRI data are acquired and fused using computational models to produce microstructurally anchored measures of patient-specific cardiac performance.

Bio:
Daniel Ennis {he/him} is a Professor in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. As an MRI scientist for nearly twenty-five years, he has worked to develop advanced translational cardiovascular MRI methods for quantitatively assessing structure, function, flow, and remodeling in both adult and pediatric populations. He began his research career as a Ph.D. student in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University during which time he formed an active collaboration with investigators in the Laboratory of Cardiac Energetics at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NIH/NHLBI). Thereafter, he joined the Departments of Radiological Sciences and Cardiothoracic Surgery at Stanford University as a postdoc and began to establish an independent research program with an NIH K99/R00 award focused on “Myocardial Structure, Function, and Remodeling in Mitral Regurgitation.” For ten years he led a group of clinicians and scientists at UCLA working to develop and evaluate advanced cardiovascular MRI exams as PI of several NIH funded studies. In 2018 he returned to the Department of Radiology at Stanford University as faculty in the Radiological Sciences Lab to bolster programs in cardiovascular MRI. He is also the Director of Radiology Research for the Veterans Administration Palo Alto Health Care System where he oversees a growing radiology research program.

LaToya Ruby Frazier: Flint Is Family In Three Acts (November 4, 2022 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95590 95590-21790401@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 4, 2022 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Organized by Stamps Gallery in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, and the Flint Institute of Arts.
“No matter how dark a situation may be, a camera can extract the light and turn a negative into a positive. In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history; in Act II, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative; in Act III, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”
—LaToya Ruby Frazier
Flint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets, activists, mothers and residents of Flint, Michigan, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs, video, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures, Stamps Gallery, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Tracee Glab, and Steven L. Bridges with the assistance of Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Rachel Winter, and Rachael Holstege.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Water is the lifeblood of civilizations, the center of cities, the foundation of creation stories and the connective tissue of culture. Water is a life force, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing, quenching, and refreshing but has also been commodified, polluted, and politicized. From the Standing Rock, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin, to water shutoffs in Detroit, PFAs in Ann Arbor, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few), ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional, intergenerational, and collective knowledge sharing, discussion and action to protect.
Call for Work
Stamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care, sustainability, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”
Eligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday, August 19, 2022 →
Eligibility
Must be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline
The deadline for submitting work is Friday, August 19, 2022, 5pm, EST. A selection committee composed of students, faculty, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15, 2022 - January 14, 2023.Why posters & videos?
Posters can function as catalysts for change. 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.
Context
Stamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social, political, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races, genders, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality, structural racism, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality, belonging, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

Heartfulness Guided Meditation (November 4, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88544 88544-21791403@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 4, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly, drop-in program designed to help you nourish your spirit and heal your body and mind.

All U-M students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required.

Advanced Wellness techniques are taught on the first Friday of the Month and that session will be about 45 mins.

*What will you learn?*

The guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation, rejuvenation, and meditation.

Relaxation brings your body to a calm, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice.

*Why Meditate?*

While physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony.

*Event Details*

When you hear the word “diversity”, what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, religion wasn’t your first thought, or even your second one at that. We live in a world, work jobs, attend classes, and are a part of organizations that are religiously diverse, and yet, this identity is often forgotten or labeled as too taboo to talk about with others. In order to be effective leaders, influencers, and DEI practitioners, we have to critically examine how we are cultivating communities that both value and engage diverse religious, spiritual, and secular (RSS) worldviews. Join us for this interactive workshop as we explore how RSS worldviews shape our experiences and the spaces that we occupy.
Learning Objectives:

Examine one’s own RSS worldview
Explore how RSS worldviews have shaped one’s own and other’s experiences
Brainstorm strategies to engage diverse RSS worldviews to cultivate inclusive communities


Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/1nePg.

Introducing an all-new series of events, specifically catered towards PhD students.
As unique as a doctorate experience can be, we believe that there are large number of experiences shared by students, across departments and schools.

We seek to provide students with a platform to bond over such shared experiences and discuss various overlooked areas of a PhD, like navigating advisor/advisee dynamics, dealing with rejections, and mental health, while providing them with free meals, from some of the best caterers in town.

The first event in this series will be hosted this week. GRIN will be sponsoring the food.

LaToya Ruby Frazier: Flint Is Family In Three Acts (November 5, 2022 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95590 95590-21790402@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, November 5, 2022 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Organized by Stamps Gallery in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, and the Flint Institute of Arts.
“No matter how dark a situation may be, a camera can extract the light and turn a negative into a positive. In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history; in Act II, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative; in Act III, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”
—LaToya Ruby Frazier
Flint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets, activists, mothers and residents of Flint, Michigan, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs, video, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures, Stamps Gallery, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Tracee Glab, and Steven L. Bridges with the assistance of Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Rachel Winter, and Rachael Holstege.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Water is the lifeblood of civilizations, the center of cities, the foundation of creation stories and the connective tissue of culture. Water is a life force, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing, quenching, and refreshing but has also been commodified, polluted, and politicized. From the Standing Rock, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin, to water shutoffs in Detroit, PFAs in Ann Arbor, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few), ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional, intergenerational, and collective knowledge sharing, discussion and action to protect.
Call for Work
Stamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care, sustainability, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”
Eligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday, August 19, 2022 →
Eligibility
Must be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline
The deadline for submitting work is Friday, August 19, 2022, 5pm, EST. A selection committee composed of students, faculty, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15, 2022 - January 14, 2023.Why posters & videos?
Posters can function as catalysts for change. 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.
Context
Stamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social, political, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races, genders, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality, structural racism, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality, belonging, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

BLKBOK (November 5, 2022 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97514 97514-21794671@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, November 5, 2022 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

BLKBOK, Neo Classical Piano Renegade & Culture Innovator, returns home, as part of his Mixtapes & Counterpoint 2022 Tour. BLKBOK's live, high-energy performance is culturally reflective and seeks to entertain with a live piano based performance like nothing you have ever seen before. BLKBOK's vision is to illuminate awareness for all, encouraging dialogue and counterpoint in the way we perceive ourselves and the world we live in together.

Born and raised in Detroit’s inner-city, BLKBOK (born Charles Wilson III), grew up in a music-filled house and by the time he was 8, BLKBOK was an acclaimed piano prodigy, winning statewide accolades and college-level competitions. When it came to music, most of the kids he grew up with pursued hip-hop, adopting rap names. However, it’s no coincidence that Charles chose the name BLKBOK, which echoes that of one of the greatest pianists and composers of all time. The tag is also an apt reflection of the elements that have contributed to the artist’s identity and symbolizes his colorful journey from pop and hip-hop culture to his critically acclaimed, neo-classical debut album Black Book, and various Mixtape projects and collaborations.

BLKBOK’s critically-acclaimed debut album Black Book, served as a founding cornerstone at the very first Juneteenth Foundation’s Freedom Concert and was released as a DLUX Edition this June and features original compositions Kendrick+Karine, The Hustle Is Real and November 7th, 2020. His first Mixtape release, CVRART, and Mixtape project Angels Watching Over Me, with world-renowned tenor Lawrence Brownlee, illustrate the innovative and disruptive musical landscape that is BLKBOK. His original composition “Stars (Ad Astra)” was performed as the first-ever piano duet from Space in 2022.
