COMPUTER VISION: WHO IS HELPED AND WHO IS HARMED? (January 25, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79537 79537-20373074@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 25, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Computer vision has ceased to be a purely academic endeavor. From law enforcement, to border control, to employment, healthcare diagnostics, and assigning trust scores, computer vision systems are being rapidly integrated into all aspects of society. In research, there are works that purport to determine a person’s sexuality from their social network profile images, others that claim to classify “violent individuals” from drone footage. These works were published in high impact journals, and some were presented at workshops in top tier computer vision conferences such as CVPR.

A critical public discourse surrounding the use of computer-vision based technologies has also been mounting. For example, the use of facial recognition technologies by policing agencies has been heavily critiqued and, in response, companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, and IBM have pulled or paused their facial recognition software services. Gender Shades showed that commercial gender classification systems have high disparities in error rates by skin-type and gender, and other works discuss the harms caused by the mere existence of automatic gender recognition systems. Recent papers have also exposed shockingly racist and sexist labels in popular computer vision datasets–resulting in the removal of some. In this talk, I will highlight some of these issues and proposed solutions to mitigate bias, as well as how some of the proposed fixes could exacerbate the problem rather than mitigate it.

In our dynamic world, the pursuit of health equity is both valiant and never complete. Generations of public health leaders have devoted themselves to the ultimate goal of a healthier, more equitable world for all. Bringing contemporary leaders to share their insights, vision, and perseverance is the principle of Ahead of the Curve, a new speaker series from the University of Michigan School of Public Health.

A fourth-generation physician whose paternal grandparents fled Germany in the early 1930s to build a new life in Mexico, Julio Frenk catalyzed his deep gratitude for the kindness of strangers into a lifelong mission to improve the health, education, and well-being of people around the world. Dr. Frenk currently serves as president of the University of Miami. He began his presidency in August of 2015 following nearly seven years as dean of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Dr. Frenk has an extensive professional record spanning three decades and a career that has included leadership positions in all relevant aspects of public health and higher education: research, teaching, analysis of public policies, institution-building, international cooperation, and national public service.

What’s a vision? It’s an answer to the simple—yet radical—question: “When we’re really successful in our work/lives at a particular point in the future, what will our organization/lives look like?” Visioning is a tool that can help clarify what is most important. A way to define the destination we’re aiming for so that we can better prioritize how to spend our time and other resources (including our physical and emotional energy) on a day-to-day basis.
Learn how effective visioning has been an important part of Zingerman’s success and how you can use this powerful tool to fuel your own personal development.

I examine the impact of the COVID-19 shock on parents’ labor supply during the initial stages of the pandemic. Using difference-in-difference estimation and monthly panel data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), I compare labor market attachment, non-work activity, hours worked, and earnings and wages of those in areas with early school closures and stay-in-place orders with those in areas with delayed or no pandemic closures. While there was no immediate impact on detachment or unemployment, mothers with jobs in early closure states were 68.8 percent more likely than mothers in late closure states to have a job but not be working as a result of early shutdowns. There was no effect on working fathers or working women without school age children. Mothers who continued working increased their work hours relative to comparable fathers; this effect, however, appears entirely driven by a reduction in fathers’ hours worked. Overall, the pandemic appears to have induced a unique immediate juggling act for working parents of school age children. Mothers took a week of leave from formal work; fathers working fulltime, for example, reduced their hours worked by 0.53 hours over the week. While experiences were different for mothers and fathers, each are vulnerable to scarring and stunted opportunities for career growth and advancement due to the pandemic.

Misty Heggeness is Principal Economist and Senior Advisor for Evaluations and Experiments at the U.S. Census Bureau. Dr. Heggeness has a PhD from the University of Minnesota. She has worked as a research economist in the U.S. federal government since 2010 and also held positions at the National Institutes of Health and the US Department of Labor. She teaches a course on policy analysis and evaluation at the University of Maryland. Her research focuses on survey response quality, poverty & inequality, gender, and the high skilled workforce and has appeared in outlets like The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Nature, and Science. At the Census Bureau, she leads a high-profile initiative to integrate the Census Bureau’s major frames and co-leads a 2020 administrative records census project.

Galaxy Clusters are the largest astronomical objects in the Universe. These cosmic giants are bound together by gravity and are formed by galaxies, hot gas, and mysterious dark matter. By counting them and measuring their masses, we can understand the content and evolution of the Universe. In this talk, I will present how we can use light for weighing galaxy clusters. I will also show how the Dark Energy Survey uses them to measure the quantity of dark matter and properties of the even more mysterious component, the dark energy.

Write-Together sessions provide structure, accountability, and support for graduate writers working on writing at any stage, from papers to theses to journal articles to dissertations and more. For each of these remote sessions, participants access a shared Google document that will serve as a communal virtual space. Students will be invited to post pre-writing goals and post-writing reflections in the document. Writers can also schedule a 10-minute Zoom meeting with Sweetland faculty during each session to discuss writing questions. We will also provide weekly writing strategies to habituate students to best writing practices.

Abstract:

Biomedical research disciplines are awash in data. These data, generated by new technologies as well as old approaches, provide the opportunity to systematically extract biological patterns that were previously difficult to observe. I’ll share vignettes focusing on three areas: 1) how we can use large-scale public data to better understand data for which few observations are available; 2) some work to understand why large-scale integrative analyses are beneficial; and 3) how machine learning can help to produce more datasets suitable for integration while maintaining participant privacy.

Dr. Casey Greene is an Associate Professor of Systems Pharmacology and Translational Therapeutics in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Director of the Childhood Cancer Data Lab, powered by Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. His lab develops machine learning methods that integrate distinct large-scale datasets to extract the rich and intrinsic information embedded in such integrated data. This approach reveals underlying principles of genetics, cellular environments, and cellular responses to that environment. Casey’s devotion to the analysis of publicly available data doesn’t stop in the lab. In 2016, Casey established the “Research Parasite Awards” after an editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine deemed scientists who analyze other scientists’ data “research parasites.” These honors, accompanied by a cash prize, are awarded to scientists who rigorously reanalyze other people’s data to learn something new.

We often frame poster presentations at academic conferences and symposia as “easier” and less high-stakes than presenting a paper or participating in a panel, but poster presentations are about 10% presenting and 90% interacting with one’s “audience” of a few people crowded around the poster in a busy, noisy conference space. With more virtual conferences, we also need to be ready for videoconference visitors. Finally, over the past year, poster presenters have also been asked to record brief video presentations open to conference attendees over several days or weeks. Each of these modes of communication presents unique challenges and opportunities. In this workshop, we will not be working on poster design. Instead, we’ll work on strategies for fluent communication with visitors to your poster, whether in-person or virtual. If you have a poster presentation coming up, be ready to share a draft image of your poster so that you can practice taking questions from others at the workshop. Otherwise, come ready to practice formulating and responding to typical question types in poster presentations.

Toxic Equilibrium: Structural Racism and Population Health Inequities (February 24, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/81748 81748-20949404@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 10:00am

10:00am – 6:30pm
Eastern Time

The American social structure is composed of a resilient, symbiotic network of the formal and informal institutions that operate to maintain an equilibrium toward White privilege. Across time and place, changes in one institution can reverberate through other institutions, and importantly, when we attempt to intervene toward equity in one institution, other institutions can move to restore this toxic equilibrium. Cultural racism, which encompasses the socially accepted ideologies, values, and behavioral norms determined by the dominant power group, sets this equilibrium. Particularly insidious as it operates on the level of our shared social subconscious, the processes that comprise cultural racism are invisible to many because they are our “givens”, our assumptions, our defaults – but the result shapes our answers to the question: Whose life counts?

For our 6th annual University of Michigan RacismLab Symposium on the Study of Racism, we pay tribute to the legacy of Dr. James Jackson, whose mentorship guided our 1st annual symposium in 2015 and resulted in our guest edited Social Science and Medicine special issue on cultural and structural racism. In the introduction to this special issue, we called for all scholarship on race and health to be grounded in interdisciplinary frameworks of cultural and structural racism and critical race theory.

Our annual symposium continues to be sponsored by the University of Michigan Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research. For our virtual meeting in 2021, we partner with the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science (IAPHS) to move our discussions to a national stage. As we move to a national, interdisciplinary discussion, we are honored that a pioneer in the study of structural racism, Dr. Eduardo Bonilla Silva will serve as the keynote speaker this year.

As both consumers and purveyors of information, how we interact with data is ever evolving. Now, more than ever, data for good represents a diverse and interdisciplinary effort to engage, educate, and empower the world around us. Statistics in the Community (STATCOM), the Center for Education Design, Evaluation, and Research (CEDER), and the Community Technical Assistance Collaborative (CTAC) invite you to attend the 4th annual Data for Public Good Symposium hosted by the Michigan Institute for Data Science. The symposium will launch virtually on Thursday, February 25, 2021 and will showcase the many research efforts and university/community partnerships that focus on improving humanity by using data for the public good.

Data for Good in Changing Times

This year’s symposium will focus on how data can help us best predict, catalyze, or respond to large-scale societal and environmental change. As we currently navigate these changes in several key areas, this symposium offers an opportunity to learn about the data-driven work that is being done to address the following challenges and develop skills to implement your own data-driven work in these spaces:

Public health and medicine
Social justice and equity
Politics and civic engagement
K-12 and higher education
Climate change and sustainability

Register: https://bit.ly/LGBTQ-UM-Events

Centering the needs of QTBIPOC therapy-seekers, this workshop aims to help you to learn more about accessing and navigating therapy, the green and red flags of a therapist, and how to ask the right questions to find the right fit for you.

Our workshop presenter will be Kulky Nakai Psy.D. LP (they/them/theirs), a therapist practicing with Integrative Empowerment Group PLLC. In their work, they bring a creative, synergistic, and vibrant energy to the therapy room. They earned their doctorate in clinical psychology at Adler University in Chicago, IL and their masters in counseling psychology at Argosy University in San Diego, CA. Identifying as a fat and tattooed queer femme of color, Kulky has also experienced marginalization, discrimination, and oppression for these intersecting identities throughout their life. They understand the deep impact that prejudice and stigma has on one’s mental health and wellbeing, and they are committed to socio-political and cultural change in efforts towards social justice and equality. After years of professional training and personal exploration, they are not only fulfilling their calling but are also building their legacy. Accordingly, Kulky is intentional about helping to cultivate meaningful, healing, and transformative therapeutic relationships so that their clients may become their own compassionate caregiver and agent of change to live an authentic, value-guided, and worthwhile life.

Write-Together sessions provide structure, accountability, and support for graduate writers working on writing at any stage, from papers to theses to journal articles to dissertations and more. For each of these remote sessions, participants access a shared Google document that will serve as a communal virtual space. Students will be invited to post pre-writing goals and post-writing reflections in the document. Writers can also schedule a 10-minute Zoom meeting with Sweetland faculty during each session to discuss writing questions. We will also provide weekly writing strategies to habituate students to best writing practices.

Supported by the Rackham Graduate School and the Sweetland Center for Writing.

Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

How can we tell which scientific findings are credible? Peer-reviewed journals, even prestigious ones, do not provide much assurance regarding the credibility of any individual report. Ideally, we would read each report carefully when deciding what to trust, but this is often impossible (e.g., when we lack the expertise to evaluate the methods) or impractical (e.g., when we need to evaluate research at scale). Moreover, rather than each of us making private judgments, we would all benefit from collecting and sharing evaluations from a range of experts with different areas of expertise and different blind spots and biases. The ideal would be to validate a rubric for eliciting structured quantitative ratings of quality along a wide range of dimensions, and collect and make publicly available ratings from many different and diverse experts. These scores could be combined into a variety of metrics, or “Quality Factors” (QFs), that vary in the weight placed on different qualities. These QFs would provide easily digestible and flexible quality ratings of individual scientific papers that could be useful to other scientists, to journalists and policymakers, and to the public. QFs would also help incentivize authors to “get it right” rather than just get published in prestigious journals, because rewards and recognition could be tied to these more transparent, accountable, and valid metrics rather than to journal prestige. In this talk, I discuss what this could look like for my home discipline of psychology, and describe some progress towards producing Quality Factors for psychology papers.


Simine Vazire is an associate professor in the department of psychology at the University of Melbourne. She is the director of the Personality and Self-Knowledge laboratory. She is the co-founder and current president of the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science, a senior editor at Collabra: Psychology, and editor in chief of Social Psychological and Personality Science. Her research is funded by the National Science Foundation, and examines accuracy and bias in people’s perceptions of their own behavior and personality. She also conducts meta-science examining how people interpret scientific findings, and tracking trends in the methods and results of published studies in psychology over time. She teaches and blogs about research methods and reproducibility.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Campus Involvement

Gain some perspective as we dig deep into the power of Meaning! How do you find meaning in your life, and how do different identities we hold play a role in how we find meaning? We will be exploring this through two separate workshops led by CAPS "Healing Justice: Holistic Self-Care During Challenging Times ".

U-M Counseling and Psychological Services will offer two workshops (“Healing Justice in the Fabric of Community” and “Healing Justice: Rediscovering Spirit” ) which focus on components of Loretta Pyles’ (2018) Healing Justice: Self-Care for Change Makers.

This Fabric of Community session will work towards defining ourselves through the health and wealth of our neighbors, community and planet. There is an emphasis on 1) healing one's community while in community; 2) community resilience; and 3) collective efficacy--the belief that neighbors or groups of citizens can change their situations and be effective in organized community action.

All students (undergraduate, graduate and professional) are invited to attend this powerful session!

To be true to healing justice, it’s vital to highlight its origins. The movement was originally created by queer folx, BIPOC, women and those with disabilities starting from the 60s with a resurgence in the late 2000s. U-M participants will learn ways of healing “a sense of brokenness or disconnection that may be a result of trauma, oppressive socio-cultural narratives and practices or the ways in which humans may lose touch with each other and themselves.”

To combat COVID-19, clinicians and scientists all need to digest the vast amount of relevant biomedical knowledge in literature to understand the disease mechanism and the related biological functions. The first challenge is quantity. For example, nearly 2.7K new papers are published at PubMed per day. This knowledge bottleneck causes significant delay in the development of vaccines and drugs for COVID-19. The second challenge is quality due to the rise and rapid, extensive publications of preprint manuscripts without pre-publication peer review. Many research results about coronavirus from different research labs and sources are redundant, complementary or event conflicting with each other.

Let’s consider drug repurposing as a case study. Besides the long process of clinical trial and biomedical experiments, another major cause for the long process is the complexity of the problem involved and the difficulty in drug discovery in general. The current clinical trials for drug re-purposing mainly rely on symptoms by considering drugs that can treat diseases with similar symptoms. However, there are too many drug candidates and too much misinformation published from multiple sources. In addition to a ranked list of drugs, clinicians and scientists also aim to gain new insights into the underlying molecular cellular mechanisms on Covid-19, and which pre-existing conditions may affect the mortality and severity of this disease.

To tackle these two challenges, we have developed a novel and comprehensive knowledge discovery framework, COVID-KG, to accelerate scientific discovery and build a bridge between clinicians and biology scientists. COVID-KG starts by reading existing papers to build multimedia knowledge graphs (KGs), in which nodes are entities/concepts and edges represent relations involving these entities, extracted from both text and images. Given the KGs enriched with path ranking and evidence mining, COVID-KG answers natural language questions effectively. Using drug repurposing as a case study, for 11 typical questions that human experts aim to explore, we integrate our techniques to generate a comprehensive report for each candidate drug. Preliminary assessment by expert clinicians and medical school students show our generated reports are informative and sound. I will also talk about our ongoing work to extend this framework to other domains including molecular synthesis and agriculture.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Engineering

Most of us want to live in a society in which we compete and collaborate as equals – neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and other differences that historically divide privileged and oppressed.

What can we as individuals, as leaders and as engineers do to level the playing field and ensure that everyone is represented among the people choosing the directions of the future?

Our panel comprises three speakers who served as sources for the Six Diversity Myths series:

George Halow, 31-year Ford engineer and professor of practice in aerospace engineering: How can the privileged drive change?

Jennifer Linderman, the Pamela Raymond Collegiate Professor of Engineering and Director of the ADVANCE Program: Why don’t we have enough women and under-represented minorities in leadership positions, and what can we do about it?

David Tarver, President of the Urban Entrepreneurship Initiative and lecturer in the Center for Entrepreneurship: How could a new generation of tech-aware entrepreneurs empower the sustainable, equitable and multicultural cities of the future?

Organized By: Eisenberg Family Depression Center

Join us virtually for the 2021 Depression on College Campuses Conference, which will explore the impact of the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and racial injustice on college student mental health, and look at how colleges and universities are responding.

As college students face increasing physical and emotional stressors, including loneliness, anxiety, depression, and trauma, colleges and universities are challenged to find ways to meet the health, safety, and emotional needs of students, particularly those of black, indigenous, and students of color who have been disproportionately affected. Attendees will learn about new research findings, programs, and policies which highlight college student mental health in the context of current events.

Following Senator Peters’ update, students will have an opportunity to ask questions to Senator Peters.

Afterward, Senator Stabenow will offer a legislative update in her work as U.S. Senator and Chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. Later, students will have an opportunity to ask questions to Senator Stabenow.

Registration required to attend the virtual event. Please register at https://linktr.ee/umichcsg.

Speaker Bio: U.S. Senator Gary C. Peters
Senator Gary Peters has been honored to represent the State of Michigan in the U.S. Senate since 2015. He has focused on uniting our communities by fighting for the things we all agree on — a stronger economy, good-paying jobs, affordable health care, a secure retirement, and an opportunity for everyone to succeed. In the 117th Congress, Gary is the Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which oversees the Department of Homeland Security and is the Senate’s top oversight committee. He also serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee.

Speaker Bio: U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow
U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow made history in 2000 when she became the first woman from Michigan elected to the United States Senate. She is known for her ability to build coalitions to get things done for Michigan and our nation. As Chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, and Budget Committee, and a member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, she has a powerful and unique role to play in shaping our nation’s health care, manufacturing, infrastructure, environment, and agriculture policies. Senator Stabenow is laser-focused on standing up for Michigan families, expanding affordable health care and lowering the costs of prescription drugs, helping Michigan businesses create good jobs here at home, and protecting our Great Lakes and outdoor heritage. She is a true champion for Michigan.

We will be posting clues throughout the day to our social media channels for students to find hidden Block M's in locations across campus! After students "follow the rainbow" and find the Block M, they will turn them in to the Union or the Campus Information Center at Pierpont to claim their prize! Clues will be posted periodically throughout the afternoon.

Make sure you're following CCI on our social media channels:
Facebook: facebook.com/centerforcampusinvolvement
Twitter: twitter.com/uminvolvement


*****Clues*****

[Found] Red: The weather is getting warmer, it's almost the start of spring. Grab a friend and head to North and spend a day on the Swings.

[Found] Orange: Walk in my doors, its a NATURAL blast from the past, filled with many artifacts. I'm not in disguise with glasses or a hat, just fined me outside by the two big cats.

[Found] Yellow: I'm at the heart of campus, students walk through me on the daily. Whether going to class or hanging around, just remember to step over the M baby.

[FOUND] Green: Mirror, mirror on the wall, here's our next Clue for y'all. Instead of looking like a fool, head to the reflection pool.

[FOUND] Blue: Here you'll find some peace and quiet, inside and outside, you'll find some silence. People compare my looks to Harry Potter, come to the Law Quad, you're getting hotter!

[FOUND] Purple: Not a circle or a rectangle, I do have all right angles. Come spin me right around, that's where the next clue will be found.


All 6 of our Rainbow Block Ms have been found! Congrats to our winners :) We hope you had fun searching campus today!

Write-Together sessions provide structure, accountability, and support for graduate writers working on writing at any stage, from papers to theses to journal articles to dissertations and more. For each of these remote sessions, participants access a shared Google document that will serve as a communal virtual space. Students will be invited to post pre-writing goals and post-writing reflections in the document. Writers can also schedule a 10-minute Zoom meeting with Sweetland faculty during each session to discuss writing questions. We will also provide weekly writing strategies to habituate students to best writing practices.

Supported by the Rackham Graduate School and the Sweetland Center for Writing.

Advances in machine learning have led to quite fluent natural language generation technologies. Most of our current optimizations and evaluations focus on accuracy in output. Faithful generation is considered a nice to have, a luxury. In this talk I make the argument that faithful generation is crucial to our generation technologies especially given the scale and impact NLP technologies have on people’s lives.

Mona Diab is a Full Professor of Computer Science at the George Washington University where she directs the Care4Lang NLP lab. She is also Research Scientist with Facebook AI. She conducts research in Statistical Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a rapidly growing, exciting field of research in artificial intelligence and computer science. Interdisciplinarity is inherent to NLP, drawing on the fields of computer algorithms, software engineering, statistics, machine learning, linguistics, pragmatics, information technology, etc. In NLP, researchers model language and its use, and build both analytical models and predictive ones. In Professor Diab’s NLP lab, they address problems in social media processing, building robust enabling technologies such as syntactic and semantic processing tools for written texts in different languages, information extraction tools for large data, multilingual processing, machine translation, and computational sociolinguistic processing.

Organized By: Nineteenth Century Forum

The Nineteenth-Century Forum would like to invite you to two talks followed by a Q&A with: 
Sober Postdoctoral Fellow, Ross Martin and Graduate Candidate, Srdjan Cvjeticanin

‘On Emerson’s Revolutionary Ecstasies: Cardiovascular Exuberance and Anti-Slavery Thinking’ presented by Ross Martin 

Since Richard Poirier began undoing the notion that Ralph Waldo Emerson proposes a mode of individualism that is stable and resists releasing itself into the world beyond it, some influential readers—from Stanley Cavell, to George Kateb, to Sharon Cameron, to Branka Arsić—have furthered Poirier’s account, reintroducing us to an Emerson who regards life as open and overflowing. Benefiting from the exuberant thinking of Margaret Fuller and Georges Bataille (read alongside Emerson), my talk elaborates on the Emersonian scholarship of recent decades to discuss overabundance from a cardiovascular standpoint as a surging tide that rushes through concentric expansions, and so the scientific impetus for Emerson’s anti-slavery thinking. Augmenting Emerson’s scientific abolitionism with archival evidence, I further investigate his study of Emanuel Swedenborg—the Enlightenment scientist turned mystic—whose lost hematology dissolves anatomical boundaries so that the inward intensity of individuality must release itself and transfigure. Briefly reconstructing Emerson’s Swedenborgianism, my talk uncovers a vision of ontological fecundity unfurled over his career that merges Swedenborg with an emerging strain of American radicalism exemplified by the Haitian Revolution. Finally, I turn to Toussaint Louverture who for Emerson represents the heart’s emancipatory powers, thus situating revolutionary change in an overactive heartbeat at the center of a momentous movement. With Louverture, Emerson at last identifies the dawning of a new age, an upheaval in residual experience through an utmost ecstasy.

‘A nothing tormented by a nothing’ presented by Srdjan Cvjeticanin

In "The Mast-Head," the thirty-fifth chapter of Moby Dick, Ishmael makes the following assertion: "For nowadays, the whale-fishery furnishes an asylum for many romantic, melancholy, and absent-minded young men, disgusted with the cracking cares of earth, and seeking sentiment in tar and blubber." The ensuing chapter, "The Quarter-Deck," proves him right. With a rousing speech, Ahab seduces his entire crew into abandoning their material interests and risking their lives in order to seek revenge against a whale, a whale on whose white hump he piled "the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down." No sooner than Ahab stops to take a breath, the Pequod's decks erupt into a deafening chant of  "Death to Moby Dick." The capture is immediate. It happens so quickly and with such ease that Ahab confesses surprise. Why was it so simple, so effortless to convince the entire crew to follow a madman into madness? The second chapter of my dissertation, "A nothing tormented by a nothing," investigates the answer to this question. It does this by first conceptualizing the historico-philosophical conditions animated in Moby Dick and then constructing the theory of the subject operative in Melville's works (esp. Moby Dick, Pierre, Bartleby). After this, I turn to Moby Dick and the "Whiteness of the Whale," by way of which I establish the crucial difference between Ishmael and Ahab, and propose an answer for why Ishmael alone survives. I conclude by constructing the political theory I understand to be embedded in Melville's fictions and arguing for the political function of aesthetics. My talk covers the first part of this chapter.

In recognition of Women's History Month, we invite you to join us for a discussion about the intersection of gender and faith. No matter your gender identity or faith, we hope you'll consider joining us for a meal and conversation. In times of heightened tension, division, and expressions of hate, faith, spiritual and secular communities have a vital role to play in being stewards of resilience, collective courage, and creating braver space in the presence of difference.

Meals of Meaning provide an opportunity for students to come together for a virtual dinner conversation (meal provided) and the chance to go beneath the surface, lean into vulnerability and to explore the struggles and stories that make up our lives.

MEAL PICK UP: Meal pick-up will be in the Michigan Union OR on North Campus (location coming soon!) from 12-12:30 pm on March 25. If you are unable to pick-up a meal for any reason, but would still like to participate in the discussion, please simply note "No Meal" in the question section.

DISCUSSION: Facilitated discussion will take place over Zoom from 1-2:30 pm. Links will be provided to registered participants.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Campus Involvement

As part of the Healing Justice: Holistic Self-Care During Challenging Times series, this Rediscovering Spirit session aims to increase awareness of interdependence of the self, relationships, work and the world. Spiritual practice can contribute to healing justice in the following ways: 1) Help to cultivate balance and alleviate stress in one’s life; 2) Learn how to de-identify with things that no longer serve us; 3) Increase connection and 4) Increase personal and collective empowerment such that one can more effectively work with, and on behalf of others to alleviate suffering and end oppression.

U-M Counseling and Psychological Services will offer two workshops (“Healing Justice in the Fabric of Community” and “Healing Justice: Rediscovering Spirit” ) focused on components of Loretta Pyles’ (2018) Healing Justice: Self-Care for Change Makers. To be true to healing justice, it’s vital to highlight its origins. The movement was originally created by queer folx, BIPOC, women and those with disabilities starting from the 60s with a resurgence in the late 2000s. U-M participants will learn ways of healing “a sense of brokenness or disconnection that may be a result of trauma, oppressive socio-cultural narratives and practices or the ways in which humans may lose touch with each other and themselves.”

All students (undergraduate, graduate and professional) are invited to attend this powerful session!

While reproducibility can be an important hallmark of good science, it is not often the most important indicator. The discipline of metrology, or measurement science, describes a measurement result as a value and the uncertainty around that value. We propose a systematic process for considering the sources of uncertainty in a scientific study that can be applied to virtually all

disciplines of scientific research. We suggest that a research study can be characterized by how sources of uncertainty in the study are reported and mitigated. This approach provides a path for sharing experimental data on complex systems such as biological network processes. A serious challenge for such studies involves collecting experimental metadata and protocol details.

She is an ex officio member of the NIBIB National Advisory Council, a Fellow of the AIMBE, and an AAAS Fellow.

Write-Together sessions provide structure, accountability, and support for graduate writers working on writing at any stage, from papers to theses to journal articles to dissertations and more. For each of these remote sessions, participants access a shared Google document that will serve as a communal virtual space. Students will be invited to post pre-writing goals and post-writing reflections in the document. Writers can also schedule a 10-minute Zoom meeting with Sweetland faculty during each session to discuss writing questions. We will also provide weekly writing strategies to habituate students to best writing practices.

Supported by the Rackham Graduate School and the Sweetland Center for Writing.
