Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

egister for October 13th.

In advance of the Presidential election, UMMA and U-M's Ginsberg Center for Community Service and Learning created the “Dialogue Deck for Personal and Political Reflection." The Dialogue Deck pairs twelve images from UMMA’s permanent collection with provocative discussion prompts designed to encourage conversation and reflection about US culture and politics. The Dialogue Deck activity is meant to encourage meaningful dialogue and connection with your family, friends, colleagues, and maybe even yourself.

During the month of October, UMMA will host three "Democracy Conversations" via Zoom that feature the Dialogue Deck activity. Participants will be sorted into small breakout groups of 4-5 people and paired with a host who will gently guide the activity and conversation.  Conversations will last one hour, and offer the opportunity for individuals to learn more about the Dialogue Deck activity and engage in conversation with others outside their immediate social circles. 

The Dialogue Deck can be used by anyone as a self-guided discussion tool, and the print version of the deck is available for free at the UMMA Shop.

UMMA's Vote2020 initiative is presented in connection with the U-M Democracy & Debate theme semester. Thanks to our partners at the Penny Stamps School of Art & Design, the Ginsberg Center for Community Service & Learning, the Ann Arbor City Clerk's Office, MUSIC Matters, and the Center for World Performance Studies.

Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Abstract: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) allows researchers to examine the transcriptome at the single-cell resolution and has been increasingly employed as technologies continue to advance. Due to technical and biological reasons unique to scRNA-seq data, clustering and batch effect correction are almost indispensable to ensure valid and powerful data analysis. Multiple methods have been proposed for these two important tasks. For clustering, we have found that different methods, including state-of-the-art methods such as Seurat, SC3, CIDR, SIMLR, t-SNE + k-means, yield varying results in terms of both the number of clusters and actual cluster assignments. We have developed ensemble methods, SAFE-clustering and SAME-clustering, that leverages hyper-graph partitioning algorithms and a mixture model-based approach respectively to produce more robust and accurate ensemble solution on top of clustering results from individual methods. For batch effect correction, we have developed methods based on supervised mutual nearest neighbor detection to harness the power of known cell type labels for certain single cells. We benchmarked all methods in various scRNA-seq datasets to demonstrate their utilities.

Note: This is the first class in a 4-part series. For more information on the series, please visit our website: tinyurl.com/wattstodetroit

The first class will frame the trajectory of our four-week course before moving on to address the impact of the Watts rebellion on state violence. It situates the Watts rebellion as a key turning point that led to increasingly militant Black activism as well as the militarization of police, expanded surveillance, and the promulgation of “copaganda” that built off of growing calls for “law and order” and reinforced and expanded hyper-policing and the criminalization Black urban communities, residents, and politics in the 60s, including in Detroit.

- Facilitator: David Goldberg (Associate Professor of African American Studies at Wayne State University. His work deals with the intersection of Black labor, urban and social movement history, with a particular focus on Detroit (where he is from).

Explore a microcosm of American democracy in this political coming-of-age story. Watch Boys State, a new documentary film now on Apple TV+

The sensational winner of the Grand Jury Prize for documentary at this year's Sundance Film Festival, Boys State is a wildly entertaining and continually revealing immersion into a week-long annual program in which a thousand Texas high school seniors gather for an elaborate mock exercise: building their own state government. Filmmakers Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine closely track the escalating tensions that arise within a particularly riveting gubernatorial race, training their cameras on unforgettable teenagers like Ben, a Reagan-loving arch-conservative who brims with confidence despite personal setbacks, and Steven, a progressive-minded child of Mexican immigrants who stands by his convictions amidst the sea of red. In the process, they have created a complex portrait of contemporary American masculinity, as well as a microcosm of our often dispiriting national political divisions that nevertheless manages to plant seeds of hope. Apple and A24 present Boys State, a Concordia Studio production.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Gallery talks, live music, and more! This is a free event, and all are welcome.

Organized By: The Program on Intergroup Relations (IGR)

The 2020 Election is fast approaching, and this election season has seen a lot of division and tension. As a program, IGR focuses on intergroup dialogic experiences across social identity groups. In preparation for the election, we wanted to provide an opportunity to look at the intersection of identity as it relates to politics. Using the UMMA and Ginsberg Center Dialogue Deck, we will examine 12 art pieces from UMMA that provide commentary on the intersection of identity, democracy, and politics. We will have a free-form dialogue on what we see in these images and what we can learn about the impact of identity on politics and what it means for this election.

What is Healing Justice?
According to Cara Page, Healing Justice is a framework that identifies how we can holistically respond to and intervene on generational trauma and violence and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our bodies, hearts and minds.

What is Cultural Organizing?

Cultural organizing places culture at the center of an organizing strategy. It can be done to unite people through the humanity of culture and the democracy of participation. This series explores the ways in which healing justice, creativity and arts enhance cultural organizing through a series of unique workshops led by Detroiters that are at the forefront of this movement. This type of creative organizing empowers communities to come together in celebration of culture while developing valuable skills that challenge power and oppression.

As we all look ahead to the November election, and think about the role artists play in activism, we want to get our creative juices flowing and print our own favorite slogan!

Timnet Gedar, PhD student in History, will share some background on the work of Botswana born artist Meleko Mokgosi, whose installation Pan African Pulp, is currently on view at UMMA and includes posters from Pan-African movements founded in Detroit and Africa in the 1960s as well as a few designed by Mokgosi.

Then Michigan-based artist Shayla Johnson will show you how to create a unique poster (or tote bag) featuring your own personal slogan and design. Shayla Johnson is founder and designer of Scarlet Crane Creations, a dedicated micro-batch textile printing house specializing in hand-printed fabrics for home decor products and lifestyle accessories. Unique surface patterns range from free flowing florals to abstract textures in order to produce stylish and sophisticated collections. Scarlet Crane Creations is housed at POST so you’ll have the opportunity to see Shayla’s work space, printing table, and work in process. Shayla also works for UMMA as a Museum Applications Developer.

This event is part of a collaboration between UMMA, the African Graduate Student Association, the African Student Association, and the African Business Council. All are welcome if there is space, but we will prioritize student participants as supplies are limited.

Lead support is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan African Studies Center and the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

Student programming at UMMA is generously supported by the University of Michigan Credit Union Arts Adventures Program, UMMA's Lead Sponsor for Student and Family Engagement.

It will also feature new social justice songs such as Alysia Lee’s “Say Her Name” and Melanie Demore’s “Lead with Love.” This music seeks to raise awareness about police brutality and anti-racism in the United States, and all four pieces will be presented as new virtual choir pieces.

This year’s Grand Night for Singing program will be the largest in the concert’s history. Nine of U-M’s choral ensembles will participate including singers in SMTD’s Michigan Youth Chamber Ensemble and the University Musical Society Choral Union.

The Biophysics Virtual Seminar Series presents:

Dr. Ido Golding - Professor of Physics, School of Molecular & Cellular Biology, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

"Illuminating bacterial individuality"

ABSTRACT: Single-cell measurements of mRNA copy numbers inform our understanding of stochastic gene expression, but these measurements coarse-grain over the individual copies of the gene, where transcription and its regulation take place stochastically. We recently combined single-molecule quantification of mRNA and gene loci to measure the transcriptional activity of an endogenous gene in
individual Escherichia coli bacteria. When interpreted using a theoretical model for mRNA dynamics, the single-cell data allowed us to obtain the probabilistic rates of promoter switching, transcription initiation and elongation, mRNA release and degradation. Unexpectedly, we found that gene activity can be strongly coupled to the transcriptional state of another copy of the same gene present in the cell, and to the event of gene replication during the bacterial cell cycle. These gene-copy and cell-cycle correlations demonstrate the limits of mapping whole-cell mRNA numbers to the underlying stochastic gene activity and highlight the contribution of previously hidden variables to the observed population heterogeneity.

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

With so much change taking place in our organization, employees are struggling to adapt and are looking for support from their leaders. This has led to a realization that we need to help employees develop their resilience. Work resilience has to be built by practicing specific behaviors and through support from the organization and its leaders. Leaders first need to help build resilience within themselves, then their team by implementing resilience techniques. This webinar is being provided as part of the Leading in Change and Transition webinar series.

Audience:
Anyone in an entry to mid-level leadership role experiencing departmental changes or organizational uncertainty

In Manufacturing Celebrity, Vanessa Díaz pulls the curtain back on Hollywood, tracing the complex power dynamics of the reporting and paparazzi work that fuel contemporary American celebrity culture. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, her experience reporting for People magazine, and dozens of interviews with photographers, journalists, publicists, magazine editors, and celebrities, Díaz examines the racialized and gendered labor involved in manufacturing and selling relatable celebrity personas. The predominantly male Latino paparazzi can face life-threatening situations and endure vilification that echoes anti-immigrant rhetoric. On the other hand, celebrity reporters, most of whom are white women, are expected to leverage their sexuality to generate coverage, which makes them vulnerable to sexual exploitation and assault. In pointing out the precarity of those who hustle to make a living by generating the bulk of celebrity media, Díaz highlights the profound inequities of the systems that provide consumers with 24/7 coverage of their favorite stars. Highlighting the highly visual nature of Manufacturing Celebrity, this talk explores the main themes and theoretical frameworks of the book while engaging with several of the images that fill its pages.

Vanessa Díaz is a multimedia ethnographer and journalist whose work focuses on issues of race, gender, and labor in popular culture across the Americas. Grounded in her experience as a red carpet reporter for People magazine, Díaz’s first book Manufacturing Celebrity: Latino Paparazzi and Women Reporters in Hollywood focuses on hierarchies of labor as well as racial and gender politics in the production of celebrity-focused media. Díaz is a co-author of UCLA’s 2017 Hollywood Diversity Report, director of the film Cuban HipHop: Desde el Principio, and the media editor for Transforming Anthropology. Her research has been profiled in such outlets as the Atlantic, the Los Angeles Times, and NBC News. Díaz is an assistant professor in the Department of Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies at Loyola Marymount University.

There is growing awareness and concern about the role of automation in hiring, and the potential for these tools to reinforce historic inequalities in the labor market. I will present the results of an algorithm audit of the resume search engines offered by several of the largest online hiring platforms, to understand the relationship between a candidate’s gender and their rank in search results. We audited these platform with respect to individual and group fairness, as well as indirect and direct discrimination. I conclude with a brief discussion of the social and policy implications of our study.

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Abstract: Metabolomics is a powerful approach to characterize small molecules produced in cells, tissues, and other biological systems. Metabolites are direct products of enzymatic reactions and provide a snapshot of cellular activities. Metabolomics-based research has already had a profound impact on biomarker discovery, nutritional analysis, and other biomedical and biological discoveries. The most pressing problem in metabolomics however is identifying compounds in the sample-under-study from the metabolomics measurements. Current analysis tools are capable of annotating only a small portion of sample measurements.

In this talk, we present machine learning solutions to three challenges related to the interpretation of metabolomics data. To mimic the function of a mass spectrometer in generating a mass spectrum, we use graph neural networks to translate a molecular structure into its respective spectral signature. To interpret the biological measurements in the context of the biological sample, we use Bayesan learning to deduce the likelihood of pathway activities. To suggest putative candidate molecules that are biologically relevant matches to the measured spectra, we explore several methods for predicting possible enzymatic products. We discuss several results, highlighting the value of using machine learning for advancing metabolomics analysis.

In particular, we will examine Detroit’s anti-STRESS movement, the rise of “community policing” during the Young and Bradley administrations in Detroit and L.A., and the relationship between the violence of deindustrialization, austerity, and globalization, community policing, and the rise of the carceral state.

(Speakers TBA - please check our website for further information)

Holding a civil, productive conversation with individuals who may not agree with you is always a challenge. This year, it seems to be an even bigger challenge, but it is still an important skill to continuously improve. Political or personal values conversations are an important part of civil discourse, especially if each party is willing to listen and connect with mutual respect and a goal to seek common ground. This session will provide a framework for better conversations around very complicated and potentially emotional topics.

Audience:
Any U-M faculty or staff who would like to connect and create common ground with others during difficult conversations

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Read the exhibition press release here.

JOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday, April 2 7–10 p.m.

Gallery talks, live music, and more! This is a free event, and all are welcome.

What is Healing Justice?
According to Cara Page, Healing Justice is a framework that identifies how we can holistically respond to and intervene on generational trauma and violence and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our bodies, hearts and minds.

What is Cultural Organizing?

Cultural organizing places culture at the center of an organizing strategy. It can be done to unite people through the humanity of culture and the democracy of participation. This series explores the ways in which healing justice, creativity and arts enhance cultural organizing through a series of unique workshops led by Detroiters that are at the forefront of this movement. This type of creative organizing empowers communities to come together in celebration of culture while developing valuable skills that challenge power and oppression.

Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

*"Protein Allostery: Evolution and Correlated Motions"*

Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99976448506

ABSTRACT: Understanding the relationship between protein sequence, structure, dynamics, and function is the ultimate goal of structural biology. For this reason, my lab studies protein allostery - a special property of macromolecules that connects molecular motion and action. In this talk, I'll present two stories. First, I'll talk about how the evolution of allosteric mechanisms and the tools of structural biology can teach us about the relationship between protein sequence and function. In the second story, I'll talk about how one can learn about correlated motions that give rise to allostery.

RESCHEDULED: The 5th Annual Robert J. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture on Native American Studies: A Conversation with Tommy Orange (November 6, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72820 72820-20058231@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 6, 2020 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Native American Studies

The Department of Native American Studies presents The 5th Annual Robert J. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: A Conversation with Tommy Orange, award-winning, New York Times Best-selling novelist.

The Berkhofer Lecture is scheduled for Friday, November 6th, 2020, at 7:00 pm on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97486211859

Tommy Orange is the author of the bestselling New York Times novel There There, a multigenerational, relentlessly paced story about a side of America few of us have ever explored – the lives of urban Native Americans. There There was one of the New York Times’ 10 Best books of the year and won the Center for Fictions First Novel Prize and the Pen/Hemingway Award. There There was longlisted for the National Book Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Orange graduated from the MFA program at the Institute of American Indian Arts, and was a 2014 MacDowell Fellow, and a 2016 Writing by Writers Fellow. He is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. He was born and raised in Oakland California.

The Berkhofer Lecture series (named for a former U-M professor and founder of the field of Native American studies) was established in 2014 by an alumni gift from the Dan and Carmen Brenner family of Seattle, Washington. In close consultation with the Brenners, Native American Studies decided to create a public lecture series featuring prominent, marquee speakers who would draw audiences from different communities (faculty and students, Ann Arbor and Detroit, and Michigan tribal communities as well as writers and readers of all persuasions). Native American students at U-M have consistently expressed their desire to make Native Americans more visible both on campus and off, and we believe that this lecture takes a meaningful step in that direction. Additionally, because of the statewide publicity it generates, we think it is already becoming another recruitment incentive for Native American students. It goes without saying that the speakers we are inviting provide tremendous value to the mission and work of Native American Studies at U-M.

The purpose of this event is to offer the residents of Mosher-Jordan a space for thoughtful conversations amongst peers in relation to the 2020 election. Given the uncertainty of whether the results of the 2020 election will be known sooner or later, conversations in this space may range from processing of election results, thinking generally about what the next four years will look like, to other areas of individual or collective reflection.

Collection Ensemble (November 8, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61790 61790-17071478@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, November 8, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Read the exhibition press release here.

JOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday, April 2 7–10 p.m.

Gallery talks, live music, and more! This is a free event, and all are welcome.

Holding a civil, productive conversation with individuals who may not agree with you is always a challenge. This year, it seems to be an even bigger challenge, but it is still an important skill to continuously improve. Political or personal values conversations are an important part of civil discourse, especially if each party is willing to listen and connect with mutual respect and a goal to seek common ground. This session will provide a framework for better conversations around very complicated and potentially emotional topics.

Audience:
Any U-M faculty or staff who would like to connect and create common ground with others during difficult conversations

About the Event:
Creating a strong purpose is essential to wellbeing in our lives and our organizations during times of uncertainty. With an authentic purpose, individuals and organizations become more resilient, creative, and engaged with their work and the world around them. And employees realize a greater sense of meaning and empowerment.

Join us for a conversation with Vic Strecher hosted by Robert E. Quinn to learn more about the science and practice of building purposeful, thriving organizations. Together, they’ll explore the current scientific research illustrating the positive impact an authentic and well-communicated purpose can have on individuals, teams, and organizations, as well as some keys to help you unlock your own potential.

About Strecher:
Victor J. Strecher (pronounced Streker), PhD, MPH is a visionary leader and expert in the fields of behavior change, digital communication, and wellbeing. His pioneering research led to successful ventures, reaching millions of lives. He’s Founder & CEO of Kumanu, a next generation wellbeing company, Professor at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, renowned speaker, and author.

In 1995, Vic founded the U-M Center for Health Communications Research, studying the future of digitally-tailored health communications when fewer than 15% of Americans had Internet access. In 1997, he founded HealthMedia, a digital health coaching company that was sold to Johnson & Johnson in 2010. More recently, Vic created Kumanu (Maori for “nourish” and “cherish”), a digital platform designed to help individuals and organizations live more purposefully.

Vic and the organizations he founded have won numerous national and international awards, including two Smithsonian Awards, the Health Evolution Partners Innovations in Healthcare Award, the National Business Coalition on Health’s Mercury Award, and the Health Enhancement Research Organization’s (HERO) Mark Dundon Research Award. In 2010, Vic won the University of Michigan’s Distinguished Innovator Award. In late 2017, Dr. Strecher was the Donald A. Dunstan Foundation’s “Thinker in Residence” in Adelaide, Australia to develop a “Purpose Economy” of business, government, and communities. His 2009 TedMed presentation has been cited by MPHonline as one of the “Top 10 Ted Talks on Public Health.”

His latest neuroscience, behavioral, and epidemiologic research; his two books, Life On Purpose and the graphic novel On Purpose; his free massive open online course Finding Purpose and Meaning in Life, which in its first six months has over 75,000 enrollees; and the Purposeful application his business (Kumanu) created are all focused on the importance of developing and maintaining a transcending purpose in life.

About Quinn:
Robert E. Quinn’s life mission is to inspire positive change. He does this as a faculty member, author, consultant, and speaker. He is a professor emeritus at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business and one of the co-founders of the Center for Positive Organizations.

As an author he has published 18 books. His best-selling volume, Deep Change, has been used across the world. His book, The Best Teacher in You, won the Ben Franklin Award designating it the best book in education for 2015. The Harvard Business Review has selected his paper, “Moments of Greatness: Entering the Fundamental State of Leadership,” as one of their 10 Must Reads on Managing Yourself.

As a consultant he has 35 years of experience and is best known for the competing values framework, a tool that has been used by tens of thousands of managers. As a speaker he is recognized for drawing on research, opening minds to possibility, and arousing the desire to grow. He is a fellow of the Academy of Management and the World Business Academy.

Series Sponsors:
The Center for Positive Organizations thanks Sanger Leadership Center, Tauber Institute for Global Operations, Samuel Zell & Robert H.

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
The Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) invites submission of 1) abstracts for presentations and 2) proposals for workshops, for the 2020 U-M Data Science Symposium.

As the focal point of data science at U-M, MIDAS facilitates the work of the broad U-M data science community, advances cross-cutting data science methodologies and applications, promotes the use of data science to benefit society, builds data science training pipelines, and develops partnerships with industry, academia and community. The annual symposium showcases the breadth and depth of U-M data science, shares research ideas that will lead to the next breakthroughs, and builds collaboration.

Presentations at the symposium should cover one or more of the following areas of data science:

Theoretical foundations
Methodology and tools
Real-world application in any domain
The ethics and societal impact of data science
Emerging areas of data science
WE INVITE SUBMISSIONS FOR THE FOLLOWING:
1. Proposals for mini-workshops. New this year, the symposium will include 3-5 mini-workshops on the afternoon of Nov. 10 as parallel sessions. Each workshop will be two hours long and for 50-100 attendees. They can be research discussion sessions, tutorials or hack sessions. Proposals should include the theme, format, organizer and potential presenters, as well as how the proposed mini-workshop brings out the strengths across multiple U-M research units and its benefit to U-M data science research and/or to the larger community. If your theme is selected, the symposium program committee will discuss with you further to help finalize the plan, and MIDAS will provide logistics support.

Some examples of possible themes: Mobilizing data science for crisis response; Data preparation for multi-party computing; Introduction of data science to attendees from non-profit organizations; Data science for wearables/mobile health.

Reported case-counts for coronavirus are wrinkled with data errors, namely misclassification of the tests and selection bias associated with who got tested. The number of covert or unascertained infections is large across the world. How can one determine optimal testing strategies with such imperfect data? In this talk, we propose an optimization algorithm for allocating diagnostic/surveillance tests when your objective is estimating the true population prevalence or detecting an outbreak. Infectious disease models and survey sampling techniques are used jointly to come up with these strategies

Students’ mobility patterns on campus and the implications for the recovery of campus activities post-pandemic (November 10, 2020 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79204 79204-20231445@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 10, 2020 10:30am

This research project uses location data gathered from WiFi access points on campus to model the mobility patterns of students in order to inform the planning of educational activities that can minimize the transmission risk.
The first aim is to understand the general mobility patterns of students on campus to identify physical spaces associating with a high-risk of transmission. For example, we can extract insights from WiFi data about which locations are the busiest during which time of the day, how much time was typically spent at each location, and how do these mobility patterns change over time. The second aim is to understand how students share the same physical spaces on campus (e.g. attending a lecture, meeting in the same room, sharing the same dorm). Students are presumably in a close proximity when they are connected to the same WiFi access point. We model a student-to-student network from their co-location activities and use its network centrality measures as proxies of transmission risk (i.e. students in the center of a network would have a higher chance of getting exposed to COVID-19 than those in the periphery). We then correlate network centrality measures with academic information (e.g. class schedule, course enrollment, study major, year of study, gender, ethnicity) to determine whether certain features of the academic record are related to transmission risk. For example, we can identify which groups of students are more vulnerable to potential infections by associating with a high network centrality. Insights from this research project will inform the University of Michigan’s strategies for the recovery of educational activities post-pandemic with empirical evidence of students’ mobility pattern on campus as well as factors that associate with a high-risk of transmission.

Modeling the Perceived Truthfulness of Public Statements on COVID-19: A New Model for Pairwise Comparisons of Objects with Multidimensional Latent Attributes (November 10, 2020 10:50am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79205 79205-20231446@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 10, 2020 10:50am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

What is more important for how individuals perceive the truthfulness of statements about COVID-19: a) the objective truthfulness of the statements, or b) the partisanship of the individual and the partisanship of the people making the statements? To answer this question, we develop a novel model for pairwise comparisons data that allows for a richer structure of both the latent attributes of the objects being compared and rater-specific perceptual differences than standard models. We use the model to analyze survey data that we collected in the summer of 2020. This survey asked respondents to compare the truthfulness of pairs of statements about COVID-19. These statements were taken from the fact-checked statements on https://www.politifact.com. We thus have an independent measure of the truthfulness of each statement. We find that the actual truthfulness of a statement explains very little of the variability in individuals’ perceptions of truthfulness. Instead, we find that the partisanship of the speaker and the partisanship of the rater account for the majority of the variation in perceived truthfulness, with statements made by co-partisans being viewed as more truthful.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

The proliferation of digital information in all human experiences presents difficult challenges and offers unique opportunities of managing, modeling, analyzing, interpreting, and visualizing heterogeneous data. There is a substantial need to develop, validate, productize, and support novel mathematical techniques, advanced statistical computing algorithms, transdisciplinary tools, and effective artificial intelligence apps.

Spacekime analytics is a new technique for modeling high-dimensional longitudinal data, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This approach relies on extending the notions of time, events, particles, and wave functions to complex-time (kime), complex-events (kevents), data and inference-functions, respectively. This talk will illustrate how the kime-magnitude (longitudinal time order) and kime-direction (phase) affect the subsequent predictive analytics and the induced scientific inference. The mathematical foundation of spacekime calculus reveals various statistical implications including inferential uncertainty and a Bayesian formulation of spacekime analytics. Complexifying time allows the lifting of all commonly observed processes from the classical 4D Minkowski spacetime to a 5D spacetime manifold, where a number of interesting mathematical problems arise.

Spacekime analytics transforms time-varying data, such as time-series observations, into higher-dimensional manifolds representing complex-valued and kime-indexed surfaces (kime-surfaces). This process uncovers some of the intricate structure in high-dimensional data that may be intractable in the classical space-time representation of the data. In addition, the spacekime representation facilitates the development of innovative data science analytical methods for model-based and model-free scientific inference, derived computed phenotyping, and statistical forecasting. Direct neuroscience science applications of spacekime analytics will be demonstrated using simulated data and clinical observations (e.g., UK Biobank).

Challenges in dynamic mode decomposition (November 10, 2020 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79207 79207-20231448@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 10, 2020 11:30am

Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) is a powerful tool in extracting spatio-temporal patterns from multi-dimensional time series. DMD takes in time series data and computes eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a finite-dimensional linear model that approximates the infinite-dimensional Koopman operator which encodes the dynamics. DMD is used successfully in many fields: fluid mechanics, robotics, neuroscience, and more. Two of the main challenges remaining in DMD research are noise sensitivity and issues related to Krylov space closure when modeling nonlinear systems. In our work, we encountered great difficulty in reconstructing time series from multilegged robot data. These are oscillatory systems with slow transients, which decay only slightly faster than a period.
Here we present an investigation of possible sources of difficulty by studying a class of systems with linear latent dynamics which are observed via multinomial observables. We explore the influences of dataset metrics, the spectrum of the latent dynamics, the normality of the system matrix, and the geometry of the dynamics. Our numerical models include system and measurement noise. Our results show that even for these very mildly nonlinear conditions, DMD methods often fail to recover the spectrum and can have poor predictive ability. We show that for a system with a well-posed system matrix, having a dataset with more initial conditions and shorter trajectories can significantly improve the prediction. With a slightly ill-conditioned system matrix, a moderate trajectory length improves the spectrum recovery. Our work provides a self-contained framework on analyzing noise and nonlinearity, and gives generalizable insights dataset properties for DMD analysis.

Video is being acquired at an alarming rate across domains, including social research, healthcare, entertainment, sporting and more. The ability to code this video—attribute certain properties, labels, and other annotations—in support of analytical domain-relevant questions is critical; otherwise, human coding is required. Human coding, however, is laborious, expensive, not repeatable, and, worse, often error prone. Video coding, an area within artificial intelligence and computer vision, seeks automated and semi-automated methods to support more effective and robust video coding. This workshop will review the state of the art in video coding from a capabilities, limitations and tooling perspective and present real-world use-cases.

Campus Mind Works wellness groups are free drop-in wellness groups for U-M students that provide mental health education and support. These groups are facilitated by a U-M employee. The first half is an educational presentation on a mental health topic and a support group follows during the second half. Topics change every month depending on student needs.

College and graduate students will learn about different factors that can impact mental health, share strategies for managing the stress of college and graduate life, and speak with other students about challenges and successes.

For fall 2020, all groups will be held virtually through Zoom. Registration per event is required.

Following the live group presentation, the asynchronous presentation will be updated at www.campusmindworks.org.

"The fire raced along the fuse line and incensed;
We rose to burn it all down."

"Across the nation and the globe, we all-knowing and all-conquering human beings find ourselves - for lack of a better way to phrase it - in a corner. In the corner, on a universally ordered timeout like misbehaving children. We were sent from schools, workplaces, nightclubs, bars, and places to eat to our homes to wait, like Didi and Gogo in Becketts' Waiting for Godot— awaiting the arrival of Godot, who never arrives. We were sent home to wait for a safer moment in time for our collective existence, which has yet to come. Sent home to sit in timeout to reflect, reevaluate, and heal as a people and a nation. Dumbfoundedly, we watched the drafted news reports of lives lost to COVID-19 awe-struck by our leaders' indifference to the severity of the moment. Yet, with all those pots boiling over, we heard of a woman who lost her life when startled from slumber in Louisville, we watched one human-being gunned down while jogging in Georgia, and yet another human-being deliberately robbed of breath for 8m46sec in Minnesota. As if the death of all those individual lives lost to COVID-19 thus far were not enough, we return to extinguishing Black lives.

As an Afro-Dominican American, it is interesting to exist in a world designed to erase your existence. As a brown-skinned actor, it is devastating to come to terms with my role in that process of self-erasure. I have navigated between theatrical parts that reinforce negative stereotypes and those that made me question if my performance training would be enough to overcome the cultural discrepancy between myself and the character. It is a question that most often comes up when assuming non-white character roles, which underscores my complicity in my self-erasure. When the color of one's skin and the racially discriminatory experiences lived is drowned by the loud narratives that support– despite evidence— that racism does not exist. What does one do? When one's cultural background is not enough to garner a role or bring authenticity and truth to a character of perhaps African American descent, what does the actor do? When does Black equate to one's culture, and when does it not? Why am I at first glance considered black and then by some not black enough? This presentation aims to address performing one's culture within the context of racial consciousness. Performing an Afro-Dominican-American in New York City."

Antonio Disla, aka Antonio Garcia, is an Afro-Caribbean Dominican-American theatre practitioner, born and raised in New York City. He holds an M.F.A. in Performance from The Ohio State University. Since 2012, Antonio has taught at State University of New York (SUNY) at New Paltz, in both the Department of Theatre Arts and the Department of Communication. As a Solo Artist, he has written and devised both site-specific and staged works dealing with identity and race. Of his works, the notables to date are Nobody, a solo piece about race, and Travel, which deals with identity and destiny. As a performing company member of The Shakespeare Forum, he has led workshops in the New York City Public Schools and co-taught Shakespeare for their Youth Forum program. Antonio has proudly worked with The Black Lady Theater, an African American community theatre company based in Brooklyn, in such productions as From the Brought of Brooklyn and Bone Soup.

In the new virtual series, PERFORMING THE MOVEMENT, PERFORMING THE MOMENT, Center for World Performance Studies invites performers and scholars from diverse disciplines to reflect on how performance is being used to respond to the political, social, health and environmental crises that we face at this moment.

Novel Tools to Increase the Reliability and Reproducibility of Population Genetics Research (November 11, 2020 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79208 79208-20231449@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Advances in population genetic research have the potential to create numerous important advances in the science of population dynamics. The interplay of micro-level biology and macro-level social sciences documents gene–environment–phenotype interactions and allows us to examine how genetics relates to child health and wellbeing. However, traditional genetics research is based on nonrepresentative samples that deviate from the target population, such as convenience and volunteer samples. This lack of representativeness may distort association studies. Recent findings have provoked concern about misinterpretation, irreproducibility and lack of generalizability, exemplifying the need to leverage survey research with genetics for population-based research. This project is motivated by the research team’s collaborative work on the Fragile Family and Child Wellbeing Study and the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study, which present these common problems in population genetics studies, to advance the integration of genetic science into population dynamics research. The project will evaluate sample selection effects, identify population heterogeneity in polygenic score analysis, and develop strategies to adjust for selection bias in the association studies of educational attainment, cognition status and substance use for child health and wellbeing. This interdisciplinary project will strengthen the validity and generalizability of population genetics research, deepen new understandings of human behavior and facilitate advances in population science.

An end-to-end deep learning system for rapid analysis of the breath metabolome with applications in critical care illness and beyond (November 11, 2020 9:20am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79211 79211-20231452@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 9:20am

The metabolome is the set of low-molecular-weight metabolites and its quantification represents a summary of the physiological state of an organism. Metabolite concentration levels in biospecimens are important for many critical care health illnesses like sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Sepsis is responsible for 35% of patients who die in the hospital and ARDS has a mortality rate of 40%. Missing data is a common challenge in metabolomics datasets. Many metabolomics investigators impute fixed values for missing metabolite concentrations and this imputation approach leads to lower statistical power, biased parameter estimates, and reduced prediction accuracy. Certain applications of metabolomics data, like breath analysis by gas chromatography, used for the prediction or detection of ARDS, can be done without the quantification of individual metabolites. This would circumvent the quantification step of individual metabolites, eliminating the missing data problem. Our team has developed a rapid gas chromatography breath analyzer, which has been challenged by missing data, a time-consuming process of breath signature alignment, and the following quantification of metabolites across patients. Analyzing the breath signal directly could eliminate these challenges. End-to-end deep learning systems are neural networks that operate directly on a raw data source and make a prediction directly for the target application. These systems have been successful in diverse fields from speech recognition to medicine. We envision an end-to-end deep learning that leverages transfer learning, from the collection of many healthy samples, that could rapidly multiply the applications of our breath analyzer. The end-to-end deep learning system will enhance our breath analyzer so it could be used more efficiently in areas of the intensive care unit to the battlefield to identity patients or soldiers with critical illnesses like sepsis and ARDS and monitor longitudinal changes in breath metabolites.

Machine learning-guided equations for the on-demand prediction of natural gas storage capacities of materials for vehicular applications (November 11, 2020 9:40am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79212 79212-20231453@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 9:40am

Transportation is responsible for nearly one-third of the world’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emission because of burning fossil fuel. While we dream for zero-carbon vehicles, future projections suggest little decline in fossil fuel consumption by the transportation sector until 2050. Therefore, ‘bending the curve’ of CO2 emission prompts the adoption of low-cost and reduced-emission alternative fuels. Natural gas (NG), the most abundant fossil fuel on earth, is such an alternative with nearly 25% lower carbon footprint and lower price compared to its gasoline counterpart. However, the widespread adoption of natural gas as a vehicular fuel is hindered by the scarcity of high-capacity, light-weight, low-cost, and safe storage systems. Recently, materials-based natural gas storage for vehicular applications have become one of the most viable options. Especially, nanoporous materials (NPMs) are in the spotlight of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) because of their exceptional energy storage capacities. However, the number of such NPMs is nearly infinite. It is unknown, a priori, which materials would have the expected natural gas storage capacity. Therefore, searching a high-performing material is like ‘finding a needle in a haystack’ that slows down the speed of materials discovery against growing technological demand. Here we present a novel approach of developing machine learning-guided equations for the on-demand prediction of energy storage capacities of NPMs using a few physically meaningful structural properties. These equations provide users the ability to calculate energy storage capacity of an arbitrary NPM rapidly using only paper and pencil. We show the utility of these equations by predicting NG storage of over 500,000 covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), a class of NPMs. We discovered a COF with record-setting NG storage capacity, surpassing the unmet target set by DOE. In principle, the data-driven approach presented here might be relevant to other disciplines including science, engineering, and health care.

Fusing Computer Vision And Space Weather Modeling (November 11, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79214 79214-20231455@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 10:00am

Space weather has impacts on Earth ranging from rare, immensely disruptive events (e.g., electrical blackouts caused by solar flares and coronal mass ejections) to more frequent impacts (e.g., satellite GPS interference from fluctuations in the Earth’s ionosphere caused by rapid variations in the solar extreme UV emission). Earth-impacting events are driven by changes in the Sun’s magnetic field; we now have myriad instruments capturing petabytes worth of images of the Sun at a variety of wavelengths, resolutions, and vantage points. These data present opportunities for learning-based computer vision since the massive, well-calibrated image archive is often accompanied by physical models. This talk will describe some of the work that we have been doing to start integrating computer vision and space physics by learning mappings from one image or representation of the Sun to another. I will center the talk on a new system we have developed that emulates parts of the data processing pipeline of the Solar Dynamics Observatory’s Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (SDO/HMI). This pipeline produces data products that help study and serve as boundary conditions for solar models of the energetic events alluded to above. Our deep-learning-based system emulates a key component hundreds of times faster than the current method, potentially opening doors to new applications in near-real-time space weather modeling. In keeping with the goals of the symposium, however, I will focus on some of the benefits close collaboration has enabled in terms of understanding how to frame the problem, measure success of the model, and even set up the deep network.

Astrophysics has always been at the forefront of data analysis. It has led to advancements in image processing and numerical simulations. The coming decade is bringing qualitatively new and larger datasets than ever before. The next generation of observational facilities will produce an explosion in the quantity and quality of data for the most distant sources, such as the first galaxies and first quasars. Quasars are the most energetic objects in the universe, reaching luminosity up to 10^14 that of the Sun. Their emission is powered by giant black holes that convert matter into energy according to the famous Einstein’s equation E = mc^2. The largest progress will occur in quasar spectroscopy. Detailed measurements of spectrum of quasar light, as it is being emitted near the central black hole and partially absorbed by clouds of gas on the way to the observer on Earth, allows for a particularly powerful probe of quasar environment. Because spectra of different chemical elements are unique, spectroscopy allows to study not only the overall properties of matter such as density and temperature, but also the detailed chemical composition of the intervening matter. However, the interpretation of these spectra is made very challenging by the many sources contributing to the absorption of light. In order to take a full advantage of this new window into the nature of supermassive black holes we need detailed theoretical understanding of the origin of quasar spectral features. In a MIDAS PODS project we are applying machine learning to model and extract such features. We are training the models using data from the state-of-the-art numerical simulations of the early universe. This approach is fundamentally different from traditional astronomical data analysis. We have only started learning what information can be extracted and still looking for a new framework to interpret these data.

Collection Ensemble (November 11, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/61790 61790-17071480@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Read the exhibition press release here.

JOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday, April 2 7–10 p.m.

Gallery talks, live music, and more! This is a free event, and all are welcome.

Love & Zombies & Literature: What makes Genre Writing Literary? (November 11, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79154 79154-20217710@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Residential College

Join RC Creative Writing faculty Christopher Matthews and Avi Steinberg for a discussion and Q & A about how speculative fiction and the romance genre intersect with literary fiction. If writers such as Margaret Atwood and Octavia Butler have proven that genre writing can also be literature, how do the publishing industry and creative writing programs distinguish between commercial and literary markets? Our panelists will read from their own work and offer their perspective on what makes genre literary.

>> Avi Steinberg is the author of three books of narrative nonfiction published by Knopf Doubleday: Running the Books (2010), The Lost Book of Mormon (2014), and The Happily Ever After (2020). His books have been translated into five languages and cited as Best of the Year by the San Francisco Chronicle and the New Yorker, among others. He is currently at work on a biography of the writer and political activist, Grace Paley, which will be published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and on a translation of the biblical story of David, which will be published by Norton/Liveright. In 2019, he was awarded a writing residency at Yaddo. He is a contributor to the New Yorker’s Culture Desk, and a regular features writer for the New York Times Magazine. His essays and reportage have also appeared in the Guardian magazine (‘The Long-Read’), Salon, the Paris Review, and n+1. He has been leading creative nonfiction workshops in the Residential College since 2018.

>> Christopher Matthews is a poet, fiction writer, and sometime scholar of nineteenth-century literature with an MFA from Warren Wilson College and a PhD from the University of Michigan. Raised in California and schooled in Michigan, he has taught at Kalamazoo College, Washington & Lee University in Virginia, and now the Residential College. His creative, scholarly, and teaching interests include lyrical and discursive poetry, storytelling and narrative theory, film, monsters, ghosts, studies in race/class/gender/sexuality, and more. Chris’ creative work has appeared widely in such journals as The Massachusetts Review, Indiana Review, Beloit Poetry Journal, and The Cortland Review, and has been recognized with three Pushcart nominations and two features in Ted Kooser’s syndicated "American Life in Poetry" project. His scholarship has appeared in Nineteenth-Century Studies and Victorian Studies, among others.
