Fruit of the Poisonous Tree: The Marcos Diaries (March 10, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105176 105176-21811240@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 10, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Central Campus Classroom Building
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

In his haste to evacuate the Malacañang Presidential Palace in February 1986, former Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos left many handwritten diaries covering the years 1969-1984. While the originals are in the custody of the Presidential Commission on Good Government, unofficial copies have been circulating for years.

Preparing the diaries of publication entailed collating, validating, and annotating entries from different sources, contemporary newspapers, the *Official Gazette*, and declassified U.S. State Department records. The project is not just an exercise in documentary editing but being critical of Marcos’ self-referential and biased view of events. In light of the current rewriting of the first Marcos presidency, these documents are double-edged, the fruit of the poisonous tree.

Ambeth R. Ocampo is a public historian whose research covers the 19th-century Philippines—its art, culture, and the people who figure in the birth of the nation. Professor and former chairman of the Department of History at the Ateneo de Manila University, Professor Ocampo writes “Looking Back,” the longest-running editorial page column on history for the *Philippine Daily Inquirer*. To read his articles, visit https://opinion.inquirer.net/column/looking-back.

Professor Ocampo has published over 35 books, the most recent being: *Queridas de Rizal: Looking Back 16 and Yaman: History and Heritage in Philippine Money*, which was shortlisted for the 2022 National Book Award for History. He served as president of the City College of Manila; president of the Philippine Historical Association; co-chair of the Manila Historical and Heritage Commission; chairman of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines; and chairman of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. In another life, he was a Benedictine monk known as Dom. Ignacio Maria, OSB. He now moderates growing Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube channels.

Location: Central Campus Classroom Building
Organized By: Museum of Natural History

This event will be live streamed on the U-M Museum of Natural History website, ummnh.org.

The existence of the microbial universe calls us to creativity. Whether harnessing the carbon-capturing power of blue-green algae or compelling society to care about something too small to see, art is often the answer. Join us for a panel discussion on the importance of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM) collaborations in understanding and spreading awareness about microbial systems. This Farrand Lecture will bring together three U-M professionals who have captured the magnificence of the microbial world through art and design.

- Moderated by April Baer, host of Michigan Radio's Stateside program.
- Jim Cogswell, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and professor of Art & Design in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, creator of the Unseen Worlds vinyl mural.
- Erica Gardner, PhD student in the U-M Department of Chemical Engineering, co-creator of the Microbial Masterpieces Project.
- Anthony Vecchiarelli, assistant professor in the U-M Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and researcher behind UMMNH’s Algae and the Climate Crisis exhibit.

A public reception will precede the lecture at the U-M Museum of Natural History beginning at 6:00 p.m. The museum is located in the Biological Sciences Building, 1105. N. University Ave., Ann Arbor, MI. The Central Campus Classroom Building is a short walk, at grade, from the museum.

The Farrand Memorial Lecture honors the memory of Dr. William R. Farrand, who served as director of the U-M Exhibit Museum of Natural History for seven years (July 1993-June 2000), as well as his long career as a professor in the U-M Department of Geological Sciences. Past lectures have covered topics such as U-M collections, astronomy, biodiversity, evolution, and climate change.

The Farrand Lecture is a featured event in the museum’s Microverse theme semester. Thanks to Michigan Radio, media sponsor of this event.

Generative AI for Research - A Faculty Workshop (July 25, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/108491 108491-21819650@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, July 25, 2023 9:00am
Location: Central Campus Classroom Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

MIDAS and the Michigan AI Lab will host a faculty workshop with the theme of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) for research. All faculty members who are interested in deploying GAI for their research are welcome.

GAI, such as ChatGPT and Bard, use sophisticated algorithms and extensive datasets to autonomously generate content. By leveraging their ability to learn patterns from existing data, generative AI models can provide valuable support in various research domains, aiding researchers by assisting in tasks like writing scientific papers, hypothesizing new ideas, summarizing literature, and providing experimental design and analysis.

This workshop will offer a unique launchpad for collaboration and exploration of GAI’s impact on research. The workshop features speakers from academia and industry, who will present use cases on GAI-faciliated research in a wide range of research fields such as drug discovery and architectural design, as well as technical, ethical and infrastructural considerations for deploying GAI in research. Extensive roundtable discussion among attendees will follow. Our aim is to launch interdisciplinary research projects and teams, and generate new insights on the future development of GAI and its impact on research.

Location : Room 0460, Central Campus Classroom Building, 1225 Geddes Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA

ELI Workshop: What Are You Laughing At? Understanding American Humor (October 2, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/111838 111838-21827633@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 2, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Central Campus Classroom Building
Organized By: English Language Institute

Do you find yourself feeling lost when people around you are laughing and you seem to have missed the joke? Humor is an important part of communication but can be a challenge to understand. Ideas about what is funny vary greatly from culture to culture. Jokes can include tricky wordplay and idiomatic expressions. Yet ‘getting’ humor can support academic, social and professional success. This small interactive workshop explores common types of humor and current examples of popular U.S. humor, followed by analysis and discussion of what makes the content funny. Please come prepared to participate actively in small group discussions (and to laugh)!

Buddhist Chant from Southeast Asia (December 7, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/115530 115530-21834959@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 7, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Central Campus Classroom Building
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

The melodic recitation of Buddhist texts in Southeast Asia highlights a number of key aesthetic, musical, and doctrinal concepts. This interactive session makes the case that exploring rhythm, pitch, and syllabic structures with our own voices provides a critical vantage point on musical traditions from the region. Open to all, the event offers a chance to explore some of the ways in which the sonic features of Khmer, Lao, Thai, and Pali chanting practices are intertwined with the linguistic and religious contours of Theravada Buddhist societies across mainland Southeast Asia.

Trent Walker works on Buddhism, literature, and music in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. His research spans the medieval period to the present, focusing on handwritten materials—bark-paper documents, palm-leaf manuscripts, and stone inscriptions—and their performative realization in speech, chant, and song. He has long worked with Thai, Khmer, Lanna, Lao, Pali, and Sanskrit sources, and more recently with those in Tai Khün, Tai Lue, Shan, and Vietnamese. In the field of Khmer literature, he authored "Until Nirvana’s Time: Buddhist Songs from Cambodia" (Shambhala Publications, 2022) and co-edited a major anthology, "Out of the Shadows of Angkor: Cambodian Poetry, Prose, and Performance through the Ages" (University of Hawai‘i Press, 2022).
