This exhibt runs through December 12, 2021.

Making art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.

Currently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States, and in Michigan, there are roughly 33,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons; the impact of incarceration on women; youth incarceration; and the dangers of COVID-19.

The exhibition features artists, poets, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in, together.

Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Janie Paul, Senior Curator and Cofounder, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.

Martín Vargas, artist and curator of this exhibition, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work, but also during select Art Lab studio hours, which will feature several of the artists working in person.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University.

Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

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

Born in Flint and a true Michigan institution, Mr. B (Mark Braun) is a rare living link to the early days of boogie woogie, having learned directly from legends like Little Brother Montgomery and Blind John Davis. He plays in concert halls, he plays outdoors, he's even played on a piano being paddled out to Mackinac Island, but wherever you heard him, it's an exciting show. Each year Mr. B stops in at The Ark for a Thanksgiving weekend concert, and it always brings something new. Mr. B often brings in musicians from around southeast Michigan and beyond for a boogie and jazz blowout to kick off the holiday season with a big dose of boogie woogie joy. You may think every town has a Mr. B, but you would be very, very wrong!

Organized By: Department of Psychology

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

Social, Behavioral and Experimental Economics (SBEE) Seminar: The Supply of Motivated Beliefs (November 29, 2021 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/89140 89140-21660645@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 29, 2021 11:30am

Abstract:
When people choose what messages to send to others, they often consider how others will interpret the messages. In many environments, particularly in politics, message receivers engage in motivated reasoning, distorting how they process information in directions they find more attractive. This paper uses two online experiments to study what information senders choose to send to receivers on topics that evoke politically-motivated beliefs. Experiment 1, conducted using a sample of social media users, studies the effect of incentivizing senders to be perceived as truthful. These incentives cause senders to send less truthful messages. With these incentives, senders send more false information when it aligns with receivers' motivated beliefs, even controlling for receivers' current beliefs. Receivers do not anticipate the adverse effects of senders' incentives. Experiment 2 isolates the role that motivated reasoning plays by constructing an environment in which receivers assess the truthfulness of messages from a computer and senders choose which message to be paid for. Senders predict that politically-motivated reasoning impacts receivers' inference, they demand information about receivers' political preferences, and they use the receivers' politics to strategically choose less truthful computer messages.

CSAAW Seminar | Empirical social triad statistics can be explained with dyadic homophylic interactions (November 29, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89247 89247-21661253@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 29, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Complex Systems Advanced Academic Workshop (CSAAW)

The remarkable robustness of many social systems has been associated with a peculiar triangular structure in the underlying social networks. Triples of people that have three positive relations (e.g. friendship) between each other are strongly overrepresented. Triples with two negative (e.g. enmity) and one positive relation are also overrepresented, triples with one or three negative relations are drastically suppressed. For almost a century, the mechanism behind this very specific (``balanced'') triad statistics remains elusive. Here we propose a simple realistic adaptive network model where agents tend to minimize social tension that arises from dyadic interactions. Both, opinions of agents, and their signed links (positive or negative relations) are updated in the dynamics. The novelty of the model arises from the fact that agents only need information about their local neighbors in the network and do not require (often unrealistic) higher-order network information for their relation- and opinion updates. We demonstrate the quality of the model on detailed temporal relation-data of a society of thousands of players of a massive multiplayer online game where we can observe triangle formation directly. It not only successfully predicts the distribution of triangle types but also explains empirical group-size distributions, which are essential for social cohesion. We discuss the details of the phase diagrams behind the model, their parameter dependence, and comment to what extent the results might apply universally in societies.

Abstract:
The construct of gender is complex and protean: it changes across cultures and even within individuals over time. I dedicate my research program to understanding the role of gender and its ramifications on wellbeing. In this presentation, I will describe how I study gender identity development with an intersectional, bioecological framework by analyzing gender at the level of the individual, within proximal relationships, and at the cultural level.

The Cognitive Science Seminar Series welcomes guest presenter Shreya Karippurathu Rajagopal, who will give a talk titled "Towards Building a Comprehensive Computational Model of Classical Conditioning."

All cognitive science seminars will be virtual this semester. For Zoom passcode information, or to be added to the seminar distribution list, please email cogsci-seminar-requests@umich.edu.

ABSTRACT
Classical conditioning is a way of learning about one’s environment wherein a previously neutral stimulus (conditioned stimulus - CS) gets associated with another stimulus that evokes natural reward (unconditioned stimulus - US). Over several trials informing this pairing, the animal begins to generate a response (Conditioned response - CR) when only the CS is present. Classical Conditioning as a field encompasses a host of known phenomena about how the CR is affected by manipulating a range of factors in an experiment - the interstimulus interval, the number of CS-s, the order in which CS-s appear, etc. A key challenge in the field is to build a comprehensive computational model that can explain all these phenomena.

We approached this problem by familiarizing ourselves with some of the most prominent models of classical conditioning as of today so as to understand their shortcomings and build on them. The talk will go into the details of the temporal difference model of classical conditioning (Ludvig et. al 2012) and our attempts in replicating this model. It will also briefly touch upon other well-accepted models and our tentative plan for the project going forward.

Measurements of the millimeter wave sky provide a wealth of cosmological and astrophysical information. These measurements constrain primordial gravitational waves and inflation, provide new constraints on the dark universe, map the distribution of matter through gravitational lensing and the Sunyaev–Zeldovich effects, and measure the time varying millimeter wave sky. Simons Observatory and CMB-S4 represent the next two generations of cosmic microwave background observatories. In this talk I will give an overview of the science these projects will enable, present the instrument designs, and discuss the status of these projects.

Public Finance: Optimal Paternalistic Savings Policies (November 29, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87991 87991-21648231@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 29, 2021 4:00pm

Abstract:
We study optimal savings policies when there is a dual concern about undersaving for retirement and income inequality. Agents differ in present bias and earnings ability, both unobservable to a planner with paternalistic and redistributive motives. We characterize the solution to this two-dimensional screening problem and provide a decentralization using realistic policy instruments: mandatory savings at low incomes but a choice between subsidized savings vehicles at high incomes--resembling Social Security, 401(k) and IRA accounts in the US. Offering more savings choice at higher incomes facilitates redistribution. To solve large-scale versions of this problem numerically, we propose a general, computationally stable, and efficient active-set algorithm. Relative to the current US retirement system, we find significant welfare gains from increasing mandatory savings and limiting savings choice at low incomes.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Please register in advance for this Zoom webinar here: https://myumi.ch/O4ngQ

If we define ‘middle class’ with reference to incomes and living standards in developed western countries, how large is China’s middle class? Estimates using this definition show the dramatic emergence of China’s middle class, which rose from only 2% of the population in 2007 to 25% in 2018, and which holds implications for China and the world.

Terry Sicular is Professor of Economics at Western University (Canada). She is a leading North American expert on the Chinese economy. In recent years she has been involved with the China Household Income Project, an ongoing household survey research project, and her research has focused on topics related to household incomes, inequality, poverty, the middle class, and education in China.

Digital Scholarship 101: Workshop Series
This series of workshops helps scholars avoid outdated projects, unpreserved knowledge, uncredited labor, and privacy or consent issues by emphasizing process in the project life cycle. Workshop participants learn how to conceptualize the life cycle of a project using human-centered design and backwards modelling when planning their projects to better understand how to version, archive, and preserve their research projects. Throughout the series, thematic questions around sustainability, preservation, accessibility, privacy, consent, grant requirements, and teaching with research will be examined. We encourage you to come with a project in mind and bring materials if available, but is not required to attend.

Intended audience: This workshop was developed for humanities graduate students and faculty members who are new to digital scholarship, but is open to everyone to attend.

Digital Scholarship 101: Planning your project
Are you planning a digital project but don’t know where to start? In this workshop, participants will learn the steps needed to plan a project for success. From identifying the team members and support you will need to formalize relationships and credit labor in ethical and fair ways. Instructors will lead participants through the process of writing a flexible project charter including documenting decisions and choices from team member responsibilities to technical needs such as platform choices, project phasing and versioning. Practical and critical considerations will be discussed and covered when writing a project charter, and how a project plan can ease the creation of documentation as well as the grant application process. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a project template and a better understanding of the requirements needed for digital scholarship.

John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath”: Novel and Film (November 30, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85544 85544-21626834@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 30, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

For this class instructor, Mary Engelhardt, will facilitate a discussion of John Steinbeck’s novel and John Ford’s 1940 film adaptation, with ample time to process both what we read and what we see. Considered to be Steinbeck’s masterpiece, The “Grapes of Wrath” is a story of human unity and love, confirming the need for cooperation rather than individualism during hard times.

Please secure and read the entire 455-page novel. First published in 1939, the novel takes place during America’s Great Depression, which lasted from the Stock Market Crash of October 1929 until the beginning of World War II. During this time, a long period of drought and high winds impacted large parts of the American Midwest, creating what was called the Dust Bowl. Many people in the lower Midwest moved elsewhere, hoping to find fertile land on which to make a living.

The novel was #12 on the list of the 100 most-loved books in PBS’s The Great American Read.

Instructor, Mary Engelhardt has a BS degree in elementary education with a minor in Language and Literature from Eastern Michigan University. She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Degree from Oakland University. Steinbeck is Mary’s favorite author.

This study group will meet on Tuesday, November 30 and Wednesday, December 1. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.

The Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar. Digital City: A Spatial Study on Nonextant Islamic Infrastructure in Early Modern Ottoman Filibe (November 30, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87819 87819-21647038@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 30, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

The symbolic rupture with the imperial past in many post-Ottoman cities in the Balkans materialized via organized effort for “modernization” of the urban space systematically carried out by the nation-state authorities. As a result, a large segment of the built-in environment was replaced early on by “modern” public and residential architecture, a process that went hand in hand with a substantial alteration of the inherited street network. The transformative nature of the intentional policies for reshaping the cityscapes often quickly obliterated the Ottoman urban tissue, thus depriving modern scholarship of studying the morphology of the cities from the Ottoman era based on preserved examples. Moreover, contemporary archaeology cannot be particularly effective because most of the buildings that replaced the Ottoman structures still stand in densely built modern urban cores, which impedes any destructive and/or non-destructive archaeological studies.

This apparent lack of reliable, cadastral, or archaeologically derived data calls for alternative methods to study the long-vanished Ottoman urban fabric and the public buildings constituting its skeleton. Bringing together a wide array of different sources that offer useful information on architectural objects, street patterns, and separate residential areas (mahalle), this lecture aims to introduce a methodology for creating a spatially referenced database, which can digitally recreate the non-extant urban fabric of Ottoman cities in the Balkans. Focusing on a detailed analysis of Filibe (Plovdiv), the principal town of Central Bulgaria, the lecture seeks to demonstrate the general applicability of the methodology for studying urban development across the Ottoman Empire.

Grigor Boykov, Ph.D. in Ottoman history (2013), is a researcher at the Institute for Habsburg and Balkan Studies at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Before joining the Academy in 2019, he taught at the University of Sofia (2014-2019), Central European University in Budapest (2015-2016), and was a research fellow at the Netherlands Institute in Turkey (2012-2014). Boykov has been a team member of the projects “The Fashioning of a Sunni Orthodoxy and the Entangled Histories of Confession-Building in the Ottoman Empire, 15th -17th Centuries” (2015-2016) and “Industrialisation and Urban Growth from the mid-nineteenth century Ottoman Empire to Contemporary Turkey in a Comparative Perspective, 1850-2000” (2017-2019). In 2019, he received MSCA-IF for his project Population Geography of Bulgaria, 1500-1920: An Historical Spatial Analysis (POPGEO_BG), conducted at Koç University in Istanbul. Among other projects, Boykov is currently working on a Historical Gazetteer of the Ottoman Empire (in cooperation with M. Erdem Kabadayı) and the Ottoman Archive of Zograf Monastery on Mt. Athos.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

A significant, persisting challenge in transportation is traffic safety which, despite a decrease in vehicle miles traveled (VMT), led to 38,680 deaths and over 2.8 million injuries in the United States last year. Traffic crashes also result in an estimated economic loss of over $230 billion annually. Integrated vehicle passive and active safety systems and connectivity are required to mitigate crashes or avoid collisions.

For the final Distinguished Lecture Series of 2021, the Center for Connected and Automated Transportation (CCAT) is pleased to welcome Dr. Azim Eskandarian to review some timely research areas on vehicle control systems, signal processing, and communication-enabled connectivity to address the pervasive vehicle safety problem. Dr. Eskandarian will also discuss a holistic approach to vehicular safety and its advanced research challenges, including connectivity, ranging from partial to full autonomy and collision avoidance implications. Attendees will see a critical perspective on personal mobility and the future of driving that ensures safety and congestion mitigation while minimizing energy consumption.

Webinar: Collaborative Research to Manage Stormwater Impacts on Coastal Reserves (November 30, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88681 88681-21656602@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 30, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

Like many older towns along the east coast, Beaufort, North Carolina grew at a faster pace than its stormwater and wastewater infrastructure. Stormwater outfalls that discharge into coastal waters have detrimental impacts on human and ecosystem health, and stormwater runoff often results in elevated levels of pathogens and nutrients, which can lead to fishing and swimming closures, illnesses, and negative impacts on coastal ecosystems. To better understand the effects of stormwater, a project team based at the Rachel Carson component of the North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserve used a comprehensive sampling regimen to gather quantitative information that helped them assess the effects of precipitation and tidal inundation on stormwater impacts, and identify sources of fecal contamination.

In this webinar, members of the project team discuss the technical and collaborative aspects of their approach, including the sampling regimen and how their engagement approach resulted in a decision-maker summit and citizen science app that fosters ongoing community engagement on stormwater issues.

Abstract: Studies of vulnerable populations have an important and growing presence in the field of operations research and data analytics. In this talk, l will present one chapter of my dissertation work in which I use inferential modeling to better understand location characteristics for illicit massage businesses in the United States. Illicit massage businesses are a venue for sex and labor trafficking in the US and are primarily regulated at the state and local level, allowing for transience and spatial variation across local boundaries. Using web-scraped advertisement data over a 6-month period, I modeled illicit massage business prevalence at the Census tract and county levels. I used publicly available data to analyze location characteristics using a single- and multi-stage inferential machine learning model. Significant contributors to IMB prevalence included the state in which they were located and the racial composition, religious presence, and rent and income levels in the area surrounding the IMB. I will close the talk by discussing my insights on thoughtfully using data to model and understand vulnerable populations.

Bio: Anna White is a PhD candidate in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan and a member of the Science, Technology, and Public Policy Certificate Program. She specializes in applications-driven research using operations research tools including data analytics, simulation modeling, predictive modeling, spatial data analysis, and applied optimization. In her dissertation work, she has tackled issues including discriminatory housing policy, human trafficking, cell phone network resilience, and treatment access for opioid use disorder. She has also worked with the Air Force Research labs on communication systems modeling and simulation. In 2020, she served as President of the UM INFORMS Student Chapter, which received the Dean’s North Campus MLK Spirit Award for their work on anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion including a virtual fundraiser and journal club.

Elite sporting culture in South Korea is often regarded as the last hangover from the authoritarian military regimes in the 1960-80s – a spatiotemporally extended barrack ridden with collectivism, strict hierarchy, violence, misogyny and patriotic ideologies, etc. The country’s state-sponsored elite athlete fostering system is still likened to ‘Silmi-do’, a remote island where a military special force was trained to invade Pyongyang in the 1960s, owing to the nature of the system, including its coercive training, cultural isolation and failure in protecting athletes’ human rights. Perhaps a more sociological edition of this line of public discourse can be sought from Goffman’s total institution (1961) given the degrees of batch living and time-tabled control over athletes’ daily routines, especially considering the year-round camp training practice from an early age towards the national training centre, formerly notorious for its overly harsh training regimen.

However, this 20th century view of strong institutional control and passive agency seems outdated as it fails to capture the ways in which contemporary athletes engage with the elite sport development regime (ESDR). While there certainly remains a higher degree of totalising power (e.g., isolated time-commitment towards gruelling training) in the ESDR, individuals are not forced or ‘culturally doped’ to enter and reside within the regime. They voluntarily decide to join the regime in pursuit of success in society in their own ways, akin to the members of what Scott (2010) termed ‘reinventive institutions’ in which individuals attempt to construct an elevated social self and status. Informed by Scott’s (2010) contrast between total and reinventive institutions, this talk presents a (re-)conceptualisation of South Korea’s elite sport development system. Utilising data from a qualitative study on young South Korean performance athletes, the presentation (1) discusses the relative balance between institutional coercion and voluntaristic agency manifested within the ESDR and (2) compares the balance with those in other institutions of K-society (e.g., K-pop, K-universities, K-companies, etc.) as a way of exploring whether the ESDR is the last bastion of the erstwhile totalising culture or the epitome of reinventive institutions on the rise.

Minhyeok Tak is Lecturer of sport management in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at Loughborough University, UK. His research focuses on integrity issues in sport, such as sports betting, match-fixing and athlete safeguarding. Minhyeok is currently working on an IOC-funded project on abuse issues in sport, entitled ‘Is Safe Sport incompatible with high performance? Contextualising safeguarding policies within the South Korean elite athlete development system.’

Under Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro both countries formed a formidable alliance that was economic, political, and military. It particularly involved Cuba sending around 35,000 doctors to work in Venezuela in exchange for Venezuela sending around 90,000 barrels of oil a day. Both countries are now in a deep-seated state of crisis. This lecture explores the sources of the crises in both countries and their ongoing alliance.

This exhibt runs through December 12, 2021.

Making art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.

Currently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States, and in Michigan, there are roughly 33,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons; the impact of incarceration on women; youth incarceration; and the dangers of COVID-19.

The exhibition features artists, poets, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in, together.

Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Janie Paul, Senior Curator and Cofounder, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

Organized By: Engineering Education Research

The University College London (UCL) Centre for Engineering Education is a joint venture between Faculty of Engineering Sciences and the Institute of Education (IoE). Through research and active engagement, it aims to encourage the study of engineering and allied subjects and drive curriculum innovations to help create the next generation of engineering graduates needed to address complex global challenges. The Centre for Engineering Education is heavily involved in the running and dissemination of UCL Engineering's Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP) – one of the four case studies described in the MIT report “Reimagining and rethinking engineering education” – a pedagogical framework by which undergraduate students study using innovative and interdisciplinary approaches. In this session, I will focus on CEE’s research with IEP students and recent graduates to understand their experiences in the programme. Findings suggest gender differences in the awareness of the societal impact of engineering, and that communication skills are essential to engineering practice. Finally, I will highlight contributions for future longitudinal research on engineering student learning and career pathways in the UK.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.

Martín Vargas, artist and curator of this exhibition, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work, but also during select Art Lab studio hours, which will feature several of the artists working in person.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The exhibition is curated by Martín Vargas, Vanessa Mayesky, Scott Tompkins, Nico Slowik, Kimiko Uyeda, and Jenna VanFleteren.

CREES Noon Lecture. Neo-nationalism and De-democratization in Hungary: Anti-Gender Policies and the Politics of Resentment (December 1, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88957 88957-21659309@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 1, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

For over a decade in Hungary, the FIDESZ government of Viktor Orban has pursued the making of an “illiberal” democracy. During this period, CREES has sponsored lectures on events in Hungary, including Hungary’s outsized influence on populist and far-right movements elsewhere in Europe and more recently in the United States. Today’s roundtable continues this conversation with the work of two Hungarian anthropologists, Violetta Zentai and Margit Feischmidt. Each will briefly discuss aspects of their current work investigating contemporary Hungary under the Orban regime and then open the discussion to questions from the audience. The roundtable will be moderated by professor of anthropology and CREES faculty associate Krisztina Fehervary.

Professor Zentai will provide an overview from her work on the “anti-gender” political discourses propagated by the current authoritarian-populist regime, and its linkages to de-democratization in the region. Anti-gender discourses not only embrace sexist, homophobic, and anti-gender-equality reasoning, but help enact a nativist and biopolitical right-wing social imagination. She will address the transnational sources of this discourse as well as how it is used by home-grown actors to normalize and make respectable forms of discrimination that were once considered populist, backwards, and exclusionary.

Professor Feischmidt’s presentation will draw on a larger project undertaken to understand the cultural logic and social support of new forms of nationalism in Hungary. Here, she will discuss political elites who have fostered the contemporary “Trianon Cult,” a new phenomenon of collective mourning for losses suffered a century ago in the Treaty of Trianon (1920). This “view from above” will be complemented with a “view from below,” by examining the meanings that audiences give to these newly-constructed collective memories. The argument of the paper is that while the Trianon-cult invokes a historical trauma, it in fact speaks to current feelings of loss and resentment.


Margit Feischmidt is a research professor at the Research Centre for Social Sciences, Hungarian Academy of Sciences Centre of Excellence, where she leads the Department for Sociology and Anthropology in Minority Studies. She is also the editor-in-chief of *Intersections. East European Journal of Society and Politics *and professor of communication and media studies, University of Pécs. With a doctoral degree from Humboldt University, she works on issues of migration, nationalism, ethnicity and minorities in East-Central Europe. Her first important publication was *Nationalist Politics and Everyday Ethnicity in a Transylvanian Town* (2006, Princeton University Press) co-authored by Brubaker, Fox and Grancea. After years working mainly on Roma and immigrant minorities in the region, she currently investigates new forms of nationalism, racism and the far-right. Her most recent edited book (with Pries and Cantat) is on civic forms of solidarity (*Refugee Protection and Civil Society in Europe*, Palgrave Macmillan, 2019).

Violetta Zentai is a social anthropologist, associate professor in the Department of Public Policy, recurring visiting faculty in the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology, and research fellow at the Democracy Institute of Central European University, Budapest-Vienna. Her research focuses on ethnic and gender in/equalities, post-socialist socio-economic transformations, European social inclusion policies, and pro-equality civil society formations. She also worked with the Open Society Foundations for two decades. She co-leads a multi-year project titled Roma Civil Monitor with the participation of 90+ NGOs. Her publications include: *A Reflexive History of the Romani Women’s Movement: Struggles and Debates in Central and Eastern Europe*. (Kocze, Zentai, Jovanovic, Vincze, eds., Routledge, 2018), and *From the Shadow to the Limelight: the Value of Civil Society Policy Monitoring Knowledge in Roma Equality Struggles* (Hojsik, Munteanu, Zentai, eds., CEU, forthcoming).

*Abstract*
Recent work in iterative voting has defined the additive dynamic price of anarchy (ADPoA) as the difference in social welfare between the truthful and worst-case equilibrium profiles resulting from repeated strategic manipulations. While iterative plurality has been shown to only return alternatives with at most one less initial vote than the truthful winner, it is less understood how agents’ welfare changes in equilibrium. To this end, we differentiate agents’ utility from their manipulation mechanism and determine iterative plurality’s ADPoA in the worst- and average-cases. We first prove that the worst-case ADPoA is linear in the number of agents. To overcome this negative result, we study the average-case ADPoA and prove that equilibrium winners have a constant order welfare advantage over the truthful winner in expectation. Our positive results illustrate the prospect for social welfare to increase due to strategic manipulation.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science

Michael Elliott is professor of biostatistics at the University of Michigan School of Public Health and research professor of survey methodology at the Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research. He has been at Michigan since 2005, where he returned after serving as an assistant professor at the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania from 2000-2005.

COMBINING PROBABILITY NON-PROBABILITY SAMPLES
Although probability sample designs remain a “gold standard” in survey research, demand for use of non-probability samples is increasing, due to, among other reasons, rising costs and falling response rates in probability samples and the availability of “big data” from administrative databases, social media users, and other sources. Design-based inference, in which the distribution for inference is generated by the random mechanism used by the sampler, cannot be used for non-probability samples. If probability and non-probability samples are available that target the same population, the probability sample can be used to account for possible selection bias if there are sufficient overlapping covariates even if the outcome is not available in the probability sample. One approach is “quasi-randomization” in which pseudo-inclusion probabilities are estimated based on covariates available for samples and nonsample units. An extension of this uses a model to predict values for the outcome in the probability sample, yielding a “doubly robust” estimator that consistent estimates target population quantities if either the pseudo-inclusion probabilities or outcome model is correct. I will overview these approaches, with a focus on using Bayesian additive regression tree to reduce model misspecification, and apply results to “naturalistic” driving studies that use volunteer samples to follow long-term driving behavior.

Precision Synthesis of Quantum Material Building Blocks (December 1, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89132 89132-21660579@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 1, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Chemistry

Quantum materials are poised to transform the development of next-generation sensors,
analytical instruments, information processing systems, and energy conversion platforms. Realizing these lofty goals will require low-dimensional crystals whose size, shape, structure, and composition can be tailored to atomic levels of precision. Chemistry will play a vital role in creating these crystalline building blocks of quantum matter. In this vein, the Kempa group has focused on the precision synthesis of 2-dimensional (2D) materials to harness quantum phenomena. Our work with 2D atomic lattices and 2D molecular frameworks has revealed that even subtle manipulations of the dimensionality and morphology of these materials yield substantial property changes. Notably, we can dramatically manipulate the structure of 2D transition-metal dichalcogenides by
growing them on chemically tailored surfaces. The resulting nanoribbons emit light whose energy and profile show an unusual progression with crystal size. Seeking to expand the 2D materials landscape, we have also prepared and examined new 2D molecular frameworks. Reversible phase switching can be induced in these frameworks with concomitant modulation of electronic transport. Our efforts underscore the importance of rational synthesis in building low-dimensional materials that enable new discoveries and advance the fields of optics, electronics, energy conversion, and quantum sensing.

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

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

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

This exhibt runs through December 12, 2021.

Making art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.

Currently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States, and in Michigan, there are roughly 33,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons; the impact of incarceration on women; youth incarceration; and the dangers of COVID-19.

The exhibition features artists, poets, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in, together.

Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Janie Paul, Senior Curator and Cofounder, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

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

This event is part of the Thursday Morning Lecture Series on Our Changing Economic Landscape.

We will consider how migration is transforming societies around the globe. Are receiving countries better or worse off when they welcome new immigrants? How can migrant-receiving societies do a better job welcoming immigrants? How do sending countries fare when their citizens leave? How can sending countries best harness international migration opportunities for development back home? Overall, is a world with international migration better off than a world without it?

Our speaker, Dean Yang is Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the University of Michigan. His research agenda spans international migration, microfinance, health, disasters, and political economy. His fieldwork locations include El Salvador, Guatemala, Indonesia, Malawi, Mozambique, and the Philippines, as well as migrant populations worldwide.

He teaches courses in development economics at the Ph.D., master, and undergraduate levels. A native of the Philippines, he received his undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees in economics from Harvard University.

Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed shortly before the date of the event.

Exhibition: Nov 12, 2021 - January 22, 2022
Public Opening and Award Ceremony: November 12, 2021
Organized by Stamps Gallery, Envision: The Michigan Artist Initiative is a new awards program designed to support the development of contemporary artists living and working in Michigan. This inaugural program recognizes the creativity, rigor, and innovation of Michigan-based artists and collaboratives — and honors their role in inspiring the next generations of artists in our state.
The call for work went out to artists across the state in March 2020. In July 2020, Envision jurors Carla Acevedo-Yates, Curator, MCA Chicago; Ken Aptekar (BFA '73), Artist; and Loring Randolph (BFA '04), Director, Frieze New York; gathered virtually to review the submissions.
After evaluating 259 submissions from across the state, the jurors selected five finalists to receive a group exhibition at Stamps Gallery.
On December 10, 2021, one finalist will be named the 2021 Envision Award recipient, receiving a cash prize.
The exhibition will tour to different venues in Michigan, including the Crooked Tree Art Center in Traverse City.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.

Martín Vargas, artist and curator of this exhibition, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work, but also during select Art Lab studio hours, which will feature several of the artists working in person.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The exhibition is curated by Martín Vargas, Vanessa Mayesky, Scott Tompkins, Nico Slowik, Kimiko Uyeda, and Jenna VanFleteren.

Econometrics: Adversarial machine learning and instrumental variables for flexible causal modeling (December 2, 2021 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89547 89547-21664067@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 2, 2021 2:30pm

Abstract:
Machine learning models are increasingly being used to automate decision-making in a multitude of domains. Making good decisions requires uncovering causal relationships from data. Many causal estimation problems reduce to estimating a model that satisfies a set of conditional moment restrictions. We develop an approach for estimating flexible models defined via conditional moment restrictions, with a prototypical application being non-parametric instrumental variable regression. We introduce a min-max criterion function, under which the estimation problem can be thought of as solving a zero-sum game between a modeler who is optimizing over the hypothesis space of the target causal model and an adversary who identifies violating moments over a test function space. We analyze the statistical estimation rate of the resulting estimator for arbitrary hypothesis spaces, with respect to an appropriate analogue of the mean squared error metric, for ill-posed inverse problems. We show that when the minimax criterion is regularized with a second moment penalty on the test function and the test function space is sufficiently rich, then the estimation rate scales with the critical radius of the hypothesis and test function spaces, a quantity which typically gives tight fast rates. Our main result follows from a novel localized Rademacher analysis of statistical learning problems defined via minimax objectives. We provide applications of our main results for several hypothesis spaces used in practice such as: reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, high dimensional sparse linear functions, spaces defined via shape constraints, ensemble estimators such as random forests, and neural networks. For each of these applications we provide computationally efficient optimization methods for solving the corresponding minimax problem and stochastic first-order heuristics for neural networks.

SEMINAR: "Finding low-dimensional structure in messy data" – Laura Balzano (December 2, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86875 86875-21637058@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 2, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: U-M Industrial & Operations Engineering

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

Title: Finding low-dimensional structure in messy data

Abstract:
In order to draw inferences from large, high-dimensional datasets, we often seek simple structure that models the phenomena represented in those data. Low-rank linear structure is one of the most flexible and efficient such models, allowing efficient prediction, inference, and anomaly detection. However, classical techniques for learning low-rank models assume your data have only minor corruptions that are uniform over samples. Modern research in optimization has begun to develop new techniques to handle realistic messy data — where data are missing, have wide variations in quality, and/or are observed through nonlinear measurement systems.

In this talk I will give a high-level overview of recent research in this area. Then I will focus on the problem of learning linear subspace structure from multiple data sources of varying quality. This is common in problems like sensor networks or medical imaging, where different measurements of the same phenomenon are taken with different quality sensing (eg high or low radiation). In this context, learning the low-rank structure via PCA suffers from treating all data samples as if they are equally informative. I will discuss our theoretical results on weighted PCA. I will then present new algorithms for the non-convex probabilistic PCA formulation of this problem and a novel SDP relaxation.

Abstract:
Neural engineers try to fight disease by interfacing directly with the nervous system to correct or circumvent the pathology, but the complexities of neurophysiology make designing these therapies very difficult. The sophisticated interactions of neural control systems with the body and mind has limited our ability to predict the effects of neural interfaces in advance, which forces the field to rely on painstaking animal experiments to test and design the devices. This work presents an alternate way forward using new functionally predictive hybrid models that let us prototype and test neural interfaces in cheap, low-risk settings to get the most out of the cumbersome and expensive animal and human studies that require implanted electrodes. The key innovation is to combine parts of traditionally separate model systems (animal, human, mathematical, or statistical) into hybrid frameworks that use the strengths of each type to make accurate, use-case predictions about the effects of new neural interfaces.

Format: This event will be held via Zoom webinar. Register here: https://myumi.ch/V75p9

Description: Pioneering advances in material culture studies over the past half-century and more sustained engagements with (some branches of) postcolonial theory have emboldened historians of the ancient Mediterranean to grant more and more space in their scholarship to the resistance strategies and survival tactics of imperially minoritized groups. At the root of this intensifying attachment to narratives of resistance is the belief that histories of the subaltern can be written; all we need to do is “read against the grain” of the literary sources, or avail ourselves of new frameworks for interpreting non-literary material evidence, in order to recover these histories. Organizing itself around the concept of epistemicide, my paper will reevaluate this historiographical tendency and propose some alternatives.

Biography: Dan-el Padilla Peralta is associate professor of classics at Princeton University. He is the author of Divine Institutions: Religions and Community in the Middle Roman Republic (Princeton University Press, 2020) and Undocumented: A Dominican Boy's Odyssey from a Homeless Shelter to the Ivy League (Penguin Press, 2015); he is coeditor of Rome, Empire of Plunder: The Dynamics of Cultural Appropriation (Cambridge University Press 2017).

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Please note the start time for this event is 7pm, Ann Arbor time.

Most visitors come to Japan for the history and culture (both traditional and modern), but Japan has much more to offer. Niseko, Hokkaido, for example, has become an international skiing destination. Kirk Patterson thinks that Japan has what it takes to become a marine tourism mecca, attracting people from around the world who want to swim, surf, kayak, sail, fish….or just enjoy leisurely strolls on beautiful beaches….and savor delicious Japanese seafood in the evening.

Kirk Patterson had a 25-year management career in Tokyo, including cofounding Japan’s first investor relations company; being AIG’s Regional VP for Corporate Communications in Japan and Korea; and serving as president/dean of Temple University Japan. He took early retirement in 2007 to pursue his long-delayed desire to become an offshore sailor, returning to Canada and spending four years teaching himself how to sail. He then sailed to Hawaii (where he spent a year working as a Waikiki bartender) and then on to Japan, devoting three years to a full circumnavigation of the country (the first by a foreigner) and then another three years cruising western Japan. He swallowed the anchor two years ago and now, based in Fukuoka, operates Konpira Consulting, a marine-tourism company.

Friends since college, Curt Ellis and Ian Cheney are the stars and co-creators of King Corn, the Peabody Award-winning documentary about their year growing one acre of corn and seeing it transformed into high fructose corn syrup and fast-fattened beef. After King Corn, Cheney and Ellis teamed up to create the Truck Farm film and education project, based on a whimsical farm-on-wheels planted in the back of a 1986 Dodge pickup. They are also the co-founders of FoodCorps, a national team of Americorps leaders who connect kids to real food and help them grow up healthy. In 2011, Cheney and Ellis were the youngest recipients ever to receive the prestigious Heinz Award for their work using humor and innovation to engage people about sustainable food. Ellis is currently Executive Director of FoodCorps, and Cheney, a Knight Journalism fellow at MIT, recently directed the feature documentary The Search for General Tso.
This event is a rebroadcast of a presentation that originally took place on October 16, 2014.

In 20 years since his full-length solo debut, "One Left Shoe", Steve Poltz blessed the world’s ears with thirteen solo records, spanning the acclaimed 2010 Dreamhouse and most recently, Shine On in 2019. NPR summed it up best, “Critics and fans alike now regard Poltz as a talented and prolific songwriter.”

Evoking themes of “hope, love, contemplation, celebration of Wednesday, pharmacists, and the fact that windows are not inanimate objects and they sometimes have conversations with each other,” Shine On represents Steve at his most inspired and insightful. The opener and title track pairs a delicate vocal with lithely plucked acoustic strings as he urges everyone to, “Shine on, shine on.”

This exhibt runs through December 12, 2021.

Making art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.

Currently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States, and in Michigan, there are roughly 33,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons; the impact of incarceration on women; youth incarceration; and the dangers of COVID-19.

The exhibition features artists, poets, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in, together.

Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Janie Paul, Senior Curator and Cofounder, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Statistics

Abstract: This talk will introduce two new tools for summarizing a probability distribution more effectively than independent sampling or standard Markov chain Monte Carlo thinning:

1) Given an initial n point summary (for example, from independent sampling or a Markov chain), kernel thinning finds a subset of only square-root n points with comparable worst-case integration error across a reproducing kernel Hilbert space.

2) If the initial summary suffers from biases due to off-target sampling, tempering, or burn-in, Stein thinning simultaneously compresses the summary and improves the accuracy by correcting for these biases.

These tools are especially well-suited for tasks that incur substantial downstream computation costs per summary point like organ and tissue modeling in which each simulation consumes 1000s of CPU hours.


Lester Mackey is a statistical machine learning researcher at Microsoft Research New England and an adjunct professor at Stanford University. His current research interests include statistical machine learning, scalable algorithms, high-dimensional statistics, approximate inference, and probability. Lately, he has been developing and analyzing scalable learning algorithms for healthcare, climate forecasting, approximate posterior inference, high-energy physics, recommender systems, and the social good.

Public Opening and Award Ceremony: November 12, 2021
Organized by Stamps Gallery, Envision: The Michigan Artist Initiative is a new awards program designed to support the development of contemporary artists living and working in Michigan. This inaugural program recognizes the creativity, rigor, and innovation of Michigan-based artists and collaboratives — and honors their role in inspiring the next generations of artists in our state.
The call for work went out to artists across the state in March 2020. In July 2020, Envision jurors Carla Acevedo-Yates, Curator, MCA Chicago; Ken Aptekar (BFA '73), Artist; and Loring Randolph (BFA '04), Director, Frieze New York; gathered virtually to review the submissions.
After evaluating 259 submissions from across the state, the jurors selected five finalists to receive a group exhibition at Stamps Gallery.
On December 10, 2021, one finalist will be named the 2021 Envision Award recipient, receiving a cash prize.
The exhibition will tour to different venues in Michigan, including the Crooked Tree Art Center in Traverse City.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.

Martín Vargas, artist and curator of this exhibition, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work, but also during select Art Lab studio hours, which will feature several of the artists working in person.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The exhibition is curated by Martín Vargas, Vanessa Mayesky, Scott Tompkins, Nico Slowik, Kimiko Uyeda, and Jenna VanFleteren.

CSEAS Lecture Series. The Role of Strategic Ignorance in Indonesian Agrarian Development (December 3, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88960 88960-21659310@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 3, 2021 12:00pm

The relationship between knowledge and power in agrarian development projects has been widely acknowledged, but what about the relationship between ignorance and power? Through analysis of Indonesia’s peatland development over the past three decades, this talk considers how state officials, scientists, and corporations have deployed ignorance strategically as a means to land access and control. Drawing on long-term fieldwork in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, Professor Goldstein look specifically at an area called the Mega Rice Project, a peat swamp forest that was drained for rice production in the mid-1990s and has since undergone dramatic biophysical transformation as the peat burns and releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Since 2000, this area has been the site of various state and NGO interventions to repair the landscape, most of which have been deemed failures. She argues that through these peatland development projects, elite actors have generated passive and active ignorance in ways that serve to protect the developmental status quo.

Jenny Goldstein is an assistant professor in the Department of Global Development at Cornell University. She has a Ph.D. in geography from UCLA and works across political ecology, critical development studies, and science and technology studies. She has been conducting qualitative fieldwork in Indonesia since 2010 on the political economy of socio-ecological land use change and the politics of climate change knowledge. Other research interests include the human health impacts of ecological change and the role of digital infrastructures in environmental governance. Her recent articles have been published in *Antipode*, *Environment and Planning E*, *Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography*, and *Geoforum*. She is also the co-editor of the forthcoming book *The Nature of Data: Infrastructures, Environments, Politics* (University of Nebraska Press, 2022) and is currently working on a book project about the role of ignorance and uncertainty in Indonesia’s peatland development and restoration.

Masculine Ideals and Dress in New Kingdom Elite Tombs (December 3, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89342 89342-21662062@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 3, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

This presentation seeks to explore the relationship between New Kingdom Egyptian masculine ideals and the types of dress used to express said ideals in the funerary context. One method to assess and better understand the Egyptian concept of gender is through the dress of the individuals. Dress has long been understood as a key expression of identity, especially gender norms. This is especially true since dress is often the first layer of an individual’s identity experienced in social interactions—be it between two individuals meeting for the first time or a modern viewer of a tomb scene. Through an investigation of a few case studies, I will argue that there is no single masculinity for the New Kingdom elite male. As I will show, we can see multiple, overlapping identities being depicted. The contexts in which the tomb owner either dons a kilt or is enrobed in a tunic differs depending on scene type and, more importantly, the type of masculinity wishing to be expressed. This presentation will explore the juxtaposition of both of these iterations of masculinity and their function in elite male identity formation and negotiation.

With COVID-19 as an example of the failed merger of host-pathogen research with collections-based biodiversity science, the paper reviews past cases of successful integration of museum collections with emerging infectious disease research (e.g., hantaviruses, yellow fever, parasites). The research concludes with recommendations for how public health agencies and the microbiology community can integrate their research efforts with museums using a One Health framework.

Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography edited by Alicia Spencer-Hall and Blake Gutt (Amsterdram University Press, 2021) presents an interdisciplinary examination of trans and genderqueer subjects in medieval hagiography. Scholarship has productively combined analysis of medieval literary texts with modern queer theory – yet, too often, questions of gender are explored almost exclusively through a prism of sexuality, rather than gender identity. This volume moves beyond such limitations, foregrounding the richness of hagiography as a genre integrally resistant to limiting binaristic categories, including rigid gender binaries. The collection showcases scholarship by emerging trans and genderqueer authors, as well as the work of established researchers. Working at the vanguard of historical trans studies, these scholars demonstrate the vital and vitally political nature of their work as medievalists.

Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography enables the re-creation of a lineage linking modern trans and genderqueer individuals to their medieval ancestors, providing models of queer identity where much scholarship has insisted there were none, and re-establishing the place of non-normative gender in history.

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

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series: "A Tale of Two Islands: Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene Hunter-Gatherers in Sri Lanka and Java (Indonesia)" (December 3, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89177 89177-21660861@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 3, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Anthropology

"The transition from the Late Pleistocene to the Holocene, which was accompanied by significant climatic fluctuations and drastic sea level changes, is a suitable period to study the relationships between environmental changes and human behavioral adaptations. Perhaps one of the most dramatic landscape changes during the period was the inundation of the Sunda Shelf which resulted in the modern configuration of Island Southeast Asia (ISEA). Investigations in the region have provided information on how ancient foraging communities responded to these changes. In this talk, results of the analyses of faunal assemblages from sites in Java are presented. The results are compared to those obtained from sites in Sri Lanka. In the Javanese sites, a shift from hunting large-bodied ungulates during the Late Pleistocene to targeting small and intermediate, forest-adapted mammals following the onset of the Holocene was observed. This is in contrast to Sri Lankan sites, where there was targeted hunting of small arboreal taxa as early as ca. 50,000 years ago. The results of the studies provide unique insights on subsistence strategies of prehistoric foraging communities and the environment they encountered in South/Southeast Asia during a key period in human history."

Smith Lecture: Novel Uses of Non-traditional Stable Isotopes to Geochemical Kinetics with Applications to Geological Carbon Sequestration (December 3, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83661 83661-21452153@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 3, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Earth and Environmental Sciences

In this presentation, I will show the link between novel applications of non-traditional stable isotopes to geochemical kinetics and its application to carbon capture and storage (CCS). To meet the goal of limiting global warming to less than 1.5 degrees Celsius calls for storing hundreds of billion tons of CO2 in aquifers. Stored CO2 will partially dissolve into water and acidify the water. The acidified water will, in turn, react with minerals strongly. To predict the fate of stored CO2 thousands or tens of thousands of years after injection, therefore, needs an understanding of the chemical kinetics of the geochemical reactions at the most fundamental level. In recent years, my students, collaborators, and I have developed an innovative isotope tracer method and have broken new ground in near-equilibrium reaction kinetics, which fill in a critical knowledge gap relevant to CO2 storage. This presentation will give an overview of geological carbon sequestration efforts and an application of geochemical kinetics to the Sleipner Project in Norway, the world's first industrial-scale CO2 storage project. The overlap between basic science and the societal need for climate change mitigation becomes clear through this example.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

Ancient and medieval Indian literature, both religious and secular, is saturated with animals—animal fables, animal transformations, animals as instructors or instructive exempla, animals reflecting human characteristics in a mirror that is not always flattering to the humans so reflected. Much of the animal lore of the Classical period is familiar to most people with even a passing interest in India, but this talk will explore some lesser known examples, especially from the earlier, Vedic period. It will highlight the accuracy of the field observation of animal physiology and behavior and the clever application of this field observation to the particulars in the human sphere. Among the topics treated will be frog mating, hyena physiology, and rhinoceros toes.

Stephanie Jamison received her PhD in Linguistics from Yale University in 1977, specializing in historical and Indo-European linguistics. Since 2002 she has been Professor (Distinguished Professor 2014) of Asian Languages and Cultures and of Indo-European Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles.

She publishes widely in Indo-Iranian and Indo-European linguistics, poetics, ritual, mythology, and law, with special focus on Vedic Sanskrit. With Joel Brereton, she produced the first complete English translation in over a century of the oldest Sanskrit text, the Ṛg Veda: *The Rigveda: The Earliest Religious Poetry of India* (Oxford Univ. Press. 2014).

This exhibt runs through December 12, 2021.

Making art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.

Currently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States, and in Michigan, there are roughly 33,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons; the impact of incarceration on women; youth incarceration; and the dangers of COVID-19.

The exhibition features artists, poets, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in, together.

Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Janie Paul, Senior Curator and Cofounder, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

Public Opening and Award Ceremony: November 12, 2021
Organized by Stamps Gallery, Envision: The Michigan Artist Initiative is a new awards program designed to support the development of contemporary artists living and working in Michigan. This inaugural program recognizes the creativity, rigor, and innovation of Michigan-based artists and collaboratives — and honors their role in inspiring the next generations of artists in our state.
The call for work went out to artists across the state in March 2020. In July 2020, Envision jurors Carla Acevedo-Yates, Curator, MCA Chicago; Ken Aptekar (BFA &#039;73), Artist; and Loring Randolph (BFA &#039;04), Director, Frieze New York; gathered virtually to review the submissions.
After evaluating 259 submissions from across the state, the jurors selected five finalists to receive a group exhibition at Stamps Gallery.
On December 10, 2021, one finalist will be named the 2021 Envision Award recipient, receiving a cash prize.
The exhibition will tour to different venues in Michigan, including the Crooked Tree Art Center in Traverse City.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.

Martín Vargas, artist and curator of this exhibition, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work, but also during select Art Lab studio hours, which will feature several of the artists working in person.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The exhibition is curated by Martín Vargas, Vanessa Mayesky, Scott Tompkins, Nico Slowik, Kimiko Uyeda, and Jenna VanFleteren.

This exhibt runs through December 12, 2021.

Making art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.

Currently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States, and in Michigan, there are roughly 33,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons; the impact of incarceration on women; youth incarceration; and the dangers of COVID-19.

The exhibition features artists, poets, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in, together.

Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Janie Paul, Senior Curator and Cofounder, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

*By purchasing a ticket you agree that you and your guests will comply with all laws, orders, ordinances, regulations and health and safety guidance adopted by the State of Michigan, the County of Washtenaw and The Ark, including any guidelines in place at the time of the show.

Please review The Ark’s current COVID-related information before attending a show.*

Topeka-born Andy McKee has made the cover of both Acoustic Guitar and Britain's Acoustic magazine. He's a virtuoso to beat the band! Andy entertains both the eye and the ear with his use of altered tunings, tapping, partial capos, percussive hits, and with his signature two-handed technique. His guitar performance videos have received hundreds of millions of views on the Internet, and at one point he held the top three positions on YouTube's list of top-rated videos of all time. After starting out on electric guitar, Andy switched as a teen to acoustic and began studying the music of Michael Hedges, Don Ross, Billy McLaughlin, and Preston Reed. To this day he still cites those four musicians as primary influences. Master craftsman and innovator at the same time, Andy McKee is a virtuoso for our time, and his live shows are absolutely legendary.

The unfolding era of the music business has provided many fresh opportunities for artists to foster direct and meaningful connections with new audiences around the globe. Trevor Gordon Hall is a powerful emerging voice, albeit without words to his music, showing that combining honest heart felt compositions with precise technical virtuosity do not sideline an artist in today’s world but can launch a wider reach than ever before. With an exploding presence on streaming services like Spotify, YouTube etc., a tour calendar that has taken him all over the world, it’s safe to say that this is a new era for artists like Trevor to engage listeners from all cultures, languages, genres, and backgrounds.

Social, Behavioral and Experimental Economics (SBEE) Seminar: Cognitive Endurance as Human Capital (December 6, 2021 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/87358 87358-21641514@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 6, 2021 11:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Economics

Abstract:
We examine the possibility that schooling may build human capital not only by teaching academic content, but by expanding the mind's capacity for cognition itself. We hypothesize that one feature of formal schooling---engaging in effortful thinking for sustained periods---could increase sustained attention: the ability to maintain focus over time. To motivate this idea, we document that globally and in the US, the poor exhibit worse sustained attention than the rich across a variety of field behaviors; they also attend schools that are less likely to require them to engage in concentration. We test our hypothesis using a field experiment with 1,650 low-income Indian primary school students. We assign students to engage in cognitive activity for sustained periods during the school day, using either math content (mimicking good schooling) or non-academic content (providing a pure test of our mechanism). Each approach markedly improves sustained attention across disparate domains: academics, listening, IQ tests, and traditional psychology measures. Moreover, the treatments increase students' regular school performance in Hindi, English, and math. This indicates that simply spending time in effortful thinking---without learning any subject content---substantively improves traditional measures of human capital. Our findings support a broader view of how schooling shapes general human capital, and suggest that worse environments may disadvantage poor children by hampering the development of core cognitive capacity.

DSI & DISCO Network Book Talk | Discriminating Data: Wendy Chun in Conversation with Lisa Nakamura (December 6, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89099 89099-21660478@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 6, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

In Discriminating Data, Wendy Hui Kyong Chun reveals how polarization is a goal—not an error—within big data and machine learning. These methods, she argues, encode segregation, eugenics, and identity politics through their default assumptions and conditions. Correlation, which grounds big data's predictive potential, stems from twentieth-century eugenic attempts to “breed” a better future. Recommender systems foster angry clusters of sameness through homophily. Users are “trained” to become authentically predictable via a politics and technology of recognition. Machine learning and data analytics thus seek to disrupt the future by making disruption impossible.

Wendy Hui Kyong Chun is Simon Fraser University’s Canada 150 Research Chair in New Media and leads the Digital Democracies Institute. She is the author of several works including Control and Freedom: Power and Paranoia in the Age of Fiber Optics (MIT, 2006), Programmed Visions: Software and Memory (MIT, 2011), Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media (MIT, 2016), Discriminating Data (MIT, 2021), and the co-author of Pattern Discrimination (University of Minnesota & Meson Press, 2019). She has been Professor and Chair of the Department of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University, where she worked for almost two decades. She has also been a Visiting Scholar at the Annenberg School at the University of Pennsylvania, Member of the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton), and she has held fellowships from: the Guggenheim, ACLS, American Academy of Berlin, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard.

Lisa Nakamura is the Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor of American Culture and Digital Studies at the University of Michigan. She is the author of several books on race, gender, and the Internet. She is the founding Director of the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan and the Lead P.I. for the DISCO (Digital Inquiry, Speculation, Collaboration and Optimism) Network (disconetwork.org).

Title: The mutational landscape and clonal dynamics of Human Somatic and Germline cells

During the course of a lifetime normal human cells accumulate mutations. Studying these mutations provides important insight into the development, maintenance and structure of normal tissues, the mutational processes that have been operative, and the role of selection in shaping cell populations. It can elucidate how each of these are altered by, or contribute to, cancer, other diseases, and ageing. However, characterising such mutations has been technically challenging, as normal cell populations consist of myriad small clones, with the mutations differing between clones. We employed laser capture microscopy combined with low input-DNA whole genome sequencing, to study clonal units across multiple cell types from the same individuals. We compared the mutational landscape in 29 cell types from the soma and germline. Our results revealed the extent of variation in clonal dynamics across tissues. Mutation rates vary between different cell types, with stem cells of the intestinal epithelium exhibiting the highest mutation rates and germ-cells in testis exhibited the lowest mutation rates thus far reported. Several mutational signatures were observed among normal cell types. However, most mutations in almost all cell types were due to SBS1 and SBS5, which are likely due to endogenous mutagenic processes. The relative contributions of these signatures differed between cell types, indicating that their rates of generation are, at least partially, independently regulated.

Title: Life under ice: The rise and fall of Lake Erie’s winter algal bloom

Webinar Registration: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1935127688355002379

About the presentation: Ice cover presents a logistical obstacle to our full understanding of function of north temperate ecosystems. Reflecting this, ecosystem models frequently underestimate, or even neglect biological parameters associated with ice cover. Despite the perceived inhospitable environment imposed by cold temperatures and ice cover during winter in Lake Erie, work over the past decade has revealed numerous examples of high biological activity with abundant phytoplankton biomass dominated by psychrophilic, filamentous diatoms. The diatoms are physiologically robust and the diatom bloom persists through early spring, eventually contributing to carbon export in Lake Erie’s central basin. During mild winters, the bloom is reduced, likely due to light limitation coincident with deep wind-aided mixing. These surveys have demonstrated that diatom assemblages possess ice nucleating abilities, a characteristic promoting ice formation and which enables the winter diatoms to maintain a favorable position in the photic zone when the lake is ice covered. Our recent efforts have focused on mechanisms of bloom decline where chytrid parasites and other pathogens are implicated. Broadening the impact of this research has been a unique partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard promoting citizen science in support of winter data collection.

About the speaker: In 2019, Mike McKay joined the University of Windsor where he serves as the Executive Director of the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research and Professor in the School of the Environment. Mike received undergraduate- and graduate degrees in Biology from Queen’s University at Kingston and McGill University (Montréal), respectively. Upon completion of his doctoral work, he held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and with the University of Delaware where he served concurrently at the Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, NY. It was during this period that Mike became active in research on aquatic nutrient cycling through his involvement with the ecosystem-scale ocean iron fertilization projects being conducted by scientific personnel from Brookhaven at that time. Mike’s research expanded to include large lakes on his arrival to Bowling Green State University where he served on the faculty for over 21 years studying the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, phytoplankton and bacterial community dynamics and more recently, winter limnology involving research coordination with icebreaking programs of Canadian- and U.S. Coast Guards.

Among Mike’s research honors, he was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Research Fellowship in 2005 where he was resident at the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel (Germany) and in 2013, was named Visiting Scholar at the Large Lakes Observatory of the University of Minnesota. He is the author of over 95 peer-reviewed manuscripts, is a co-recipient of the 2019 John Martin award from ASLO and currently serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Great Lakes Research.

Generosity Accelerator (December 6, 2021 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89432 89432-21663097@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 6, 2021 4:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Ross Center for Positive Organizations

About the Thriving Accelerator Workshops:
A Thriving Accelerator is an immersive workshop from the Center for Positive Organizations about a topic in the science of thriving. After completing a workshop, students will be able to immediately implement their learnings to create lasting personal and organizational impact.

In each of these actionable workshops, students will:
- Develop knowledge related to a particular research topic: Accelerators introduce the science for knowing.
- Develop skills to create actionable know-how: Accelerators apply the science for doing.
- Develop relational and embodied capacity to model and live the topic: Accelerators model the science for lived experience of being.

About the Generosity Accelerator:
How do you unleash generosity and get the resources you need in any team or organization? In this workshop, Wayne Baker will provide proven tools that will help you and your teams accelerate the flow of resources and build a culture of generosity.

Drawing on his book, All You Have To Do Is Ask, Baker will show you how to find what you need, and ask for it in ways that work. The workshop will give you access to real-time tools that support a culture of generosity, including a digital assessment, learning map, and access to a generosity community knowledge and resource sharing platform called Givitas. You will leave with a new appreciation of the power of how to ask for what you need in ways that transform what’s available for your success.

Instructor:
Wayne Baker, Faculty Co-Director, Center for Positive Organizations; Robert P. Thome Professor of Business; Professor of Management and Organizations; Professor of Sociology

Open to all University of Michigan students.

Jennifer Nehil (Molson Coors) and Ralph Mertz (Anheuser-Busch InBev) - Flavor Chemistry, Brewing, Performance Metrics, Global Strategy (December 6, 2021 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89703 89703-21665063@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 6, 2021 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Bio-Tech, Entrepreneurship, and Coding Organization

On Monday, December 06, 2021 @ 6:00PM-7:00PM ET, come virtually listen to Jennifer Nehil (UM MS Chemistry; former R&D Technician and Chemist at BASF; current Brewing Material and Flavor Chemist at Molson Coors) discuss the brewing process, innovation and new product selection, and flavor chemistry, and Ralph Mertz (UM BS Mechanical Engineering; former Chrysler Engineer and Anheuser-Busch IT, Operations & Engineering Manager, and Financial Planning Leader; current Anheuser-Busch Global Vertical Operations Finance and Strategy Senior Director) discuss standard company performance metrics, corporate investments and collaborations, asset management, and a global strategy case study. The event will conclude with an open Q&A.

Anheuser-Busch InBev, or AB InBev, is a publicly-traded multinational drinks conglomerate headquartered in Belgium. It’s the world’s largest beer brewer by both volume and revenue, operating more than 600 beer brands in 150 countries. AB InBev was formed in 2008 through the acquisition of Budweiser brewer Anheuser-Busch by Belgian conglomerate InBev—which is itself a merger of Stella Artois-maker Interbrew and Brazil’s AmBev. In 2015, AB InBev acquired its biggest rival in North America, SABMiller, for $107 billion. The deal required the sale of a number of SABMiller brands, including Miller and Coors, to satisfy antitrust regulators. In recent years, acknowledging the consumer trend away from mass-produced lagers, AB InBev has rapidly acquired U.S. and international craft brewers including Goose Island, Blue Point, and Camden Town Brewery. Some of its popular brands include Budweiser, Michelo, Corona, Bush, and Natural Light. Learn more at https://www.anheuser-busch.com/about.html .

Molson Coors is a publicly-traded multinational drinks conglomerate with twin headquarters in Golden, Colorado, and Montreal, Canada, though officially considered a U.S. firm. In sales, it holds the number one position in Canada, the number two rank in the United Kingdom, and the number three slot in the U.S. Coors Light, the firm's biggest-seller, is the fourth best-selling beer in the United States; Molson Canadian is the best seller in English-speaking Canada; and Carling ranks as the best-selling lager in the United Kingdom. Other key brands include Blue Moon, Dos Equiz, and La Colombe. In 2005, it was formed through a merger of two companies with deep roots — Molson Inc., established in 1786, the oldest brewery in North America; and Adolph Coors, established in 1873 — both of which were still under control of their respective founding families. Following the merger, the Coors and Molson families jointly controlled Molson Coors, each holding one-third of the voting power. Learn more at https://www.molsoncoors.com/about .

Charlie Parr // Dead Horses (December 6, 2021 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87182 87182-21639297@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 6, 2021 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

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

Charlie Parr is an incorruptible outsider who writes novelistic, multi-layered stories that shine a kaleidoscopic light on defiant, unseen characters thriving in the shadows all around us. He hasn’t moved to LA or Nashville; he’s stayed in the cold grey north of Minnesota, because that’s his home. Charlie makes his Smithsonian Folkways Recordings debut with ‘Last of The Better Days Ahead’, out worldwide July 30, 2021.

Dead Horses isn’t a band in the conventional sense. Rather, it’s an intimate, folk-inspired conversation between two close friends. At its core, the participants are guitarist/singer Sarah Vos and bassist Daniel Wolff. Dead Horses weave together a vibrant patchwork of classic and contemporary influences that span trad roots, indie- folk, and other experimental musical idioms. Through it all, the union of Sarah’s emotive songwriting with Dan’s intrepid bass playing transcends the singer-songwriter-with-backup-musicians paradigm.

ZOOM MEETING
https://umich.zoom.us/j/96616169868
Passcode: CSCS

Abstract: The process of exploiting or "hacking" a software vulnerability can, in many cases, be understood as the process of discovering and then programming what Halvar Flake has called a "weird machine" -- a spontaneous virtual machine that supervenes on the *intended* finite state machine that the vulnerable software in question implements. A weird machine has its own peculiar instruction set and program semantics, designed by no one and existing entirely by accident. In this seminar, I will be demonstrating the utility of *genetic programming* (GP) as a technique for exploring the space of programs implicit in a particular variety of "weird machine": the variety exploited by *return-oriented programming* (ROP), a remote code execution technique that, over the past two decades, has been used by attackers to subvert the separation of writeable and executable memory imposed by various operating systems as a security feature. I will show how it is possible to evolve ROP payloads and breed them to carry out various tasks, by means of applying certain selective pressures to "populations" of integer sequences, equipped with the genetic operators of mutation and crossover. We will look particularly closely at an observed correlation between the availability of crossover (a crude form of sexual reproduction) and the likelihood of a population to discover recombinable ROP "gadgets" when initialized with a pool of random integers.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | A Vineyard Garden in the Afterlife: The Shi Jun/Wirkak Tomb (580 CE) and Viticulture on the Silk Road (December 7, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84936 84936-21625310@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 7, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Please register in advance for this Zoom webinar here: https://myumi.ch/Gk4pp

This talk discusses visual representations of vineyard gardens in 6th-century China. By focusing on the sarcophagus of Shi Jun or Wirkak (494-579 CE), a Sogdian immigrant from Central Asia, it explores a range of issues related to viticulture and wine making on the Silk Road, including the spread and transformation of Dionysian motifs, the entanglement between Buddhism and wine culture, and above all, the association of vineyard gardens with paradise.

Jin Xu is an assistant professor of Art History and Asian Studies at Vassar College. He received his PhD in art history at the University of Chicago. His research has been focusing on religious and cultural exchanges on the Silk Road as reflected in Chinese art during the sixth and seventh centuries AD. His articles appear in journals such as the Burlington Magazine, the Journal of Asian Studies, and the Sino-Platonic Papers. Currently he is writing a book manuscript titled “Beyond Boundaries: Sogdian Sarcophagi and the Art of an Immigrant Community in Early Medieval China.”

University of California San Francisco

Interoperability is considered a key capability of a high-performing healthcare system and has been a top policy priority for more than a decade. Implementing interoperability is, however, a complex undertaking – requiring stakeholder coordination that tackles incentives, governance, technology, standards, and more. In this talk, Dr. Adler-Milstein will describe current approaches to interoperability and where we stand with respect to current levels of national adoption. She will then discuss the implications for Learning Health System efforts at different levels of scale.

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

Together we’ll enjoy detective mystery films available to stream at home. We’ll have a virtual meeting online, followed by individual screening of the film at home, and a subsequent online discussion meeting.

Two film adaptations of Patricia Highsmith are planned: “Strangers on a Train”, and “Purple Noon” (Plein soleil) (in French with English subtitles). A 3rd film will be announced. Scheduled films are subject to change, as streaming service availability may change. Each film will have two online meeting sessions: a presentation meeting on a Friday, and a discussion meeting the following Tuesday. Watch the film at home in between the two meetings. • Access to a streaming service subscription (such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, MHz, and BritBox) is required. Some films may be available to rent.

Instructor George Ferrell has led several detective mystery film study groups.

This study group will meet twice monthly on Tuesdays and Fridays (see above) for six weeks beginning on October 8. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.

Webinar: Evaluating the Impact of Hydrologic Alterations on Salt Marsh Sustainability in a Changing Climate (December 7, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89366 89366-21662356@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 7, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

Parallel grid ditches were dug in approximately 90% of mid-Atlantic and New England salt marshes from the 1920s through the 1940s. Today, managers must navigate the effects of these past actions when making decisions about marsh hydrology and drainage that impact human health, ecosystem services, and marsh sustainability. Managers must also consider how stressors such as sea-level rise impact marshes. A team of scientists including staff from the Waquoit Bay Reserve in Massachusetts helped to address this challenge by working iteratively with coastal managers and restoration practitioners to develop a decision support tool for marsh hydrology management strategies that promote sustainability and continued delivery of valuable ecosystem services under future sea level rise scenarios.

In this webinar, the project team shares both the collaborative and technical aspects of their approach and the resultant Marsh Sustainability and Hydrology Decision Support Tool. The tool predicts potential outcomes of ditch and runnel maintenance in micro- and macro-tidal salt marshes under different scenarios of suspended sediment input and sea level rise.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of American Culture

The first iteration of DAAS 498-"in action" seminar, “Reconstructing James Baldwin’s Legacy in the Digital Now,” presents a final project symposium! On Tuesday, December 7th from 2:30pm-4pm students will feature original work with a commentary by Baldwin scholar, Associate Professor and Director of Africana Studies, Ernest Gibson III of Auburn University.

This event brings the creativity and complexity of Baldwin's thought into the 21-st century. The course and presentations are based on the new University of Michigan Library digital collection that documents the famous Black queer writer's beloved house in St. Paul-de-Vence, France, "Chez Baldwin." The "Chez Baldwin" digital collection is the brainchild of Professor Magdalena J. Zaborowska of the Department of Afro-American Studies and American Culture and was created in collaboration with University of Michigan students, colleagues, and staff.

A cross-pollination of numerous influences, including cabaret, spaghetti Westerns, norteño, punk, and the immigrant dance music of Eastern Europe, Colorado-based quartet DeVotchKa, formed in Denver by multi-instrumentalists Nick Urata (vocals, guitar, trumpet),

Tom Hagerman (violin, accordion), Jeanie Schroder (sousaphone, bass) and percussionist Shawn King, emerged as unlikely indie heroes in the mid-2000s infusing modern indie music with a global flavor.

They found widespread success in 2006 with their Grammy-nominated soundtrack to the hit indie film Little Miss Sunshine. Signing with revered indie, Anti-, the band delivered A Mad and Faithful Telling in early 2008, reaching the number nine slot on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. A lengthy world tour followed, including stops at major festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Bumbershoot. After doing more soundtrack work, this time for the 2009 comedy I Love You Phillip Morris, the group returned to the studio for 2011’s moody and triumphant 100 Lovers. Embarking on another world tour, they collaborated with the Colorado Symphony on the 2012 concert album Live with the Colorado Symphony. Over the next several years, Urata became increasingly involved in his own film composition career, scoring movies like Crazy Stupid Love, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Paddington, and the Netflix series A Series of Unfortunate Events. Meanwhile, the band regrouped for a lengthy recording session, eventually returning in 2018 with their sixth album, This Night Falls Forever, this time via Concord Records.
