Anti-Racism in an Abroad Context (March 1, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/80492 80492-20730266@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 1, 2021 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Structural racism in the United States is the normalization and legitimization of an array of dynamics—historical, cultural, institutional, and interpersonal—that routinely advantage whites while producing cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color. It is a system of hierarchy and inequity, primarily characterized by white supremacy—the preferential treatment, privilege, and power for white people at the expense of other racially oppressed people. It is also important to recognize that racism is a global issue and continues to be perpetuated in society across the globe and it manifests in many different ways at various levels. This anti-racism workshop in an abroad context aims to offer an entryway for the student to engage in observing how racism plays out in different societies outside the United States, utilizing examples, particularly media representation, that may reflect deeper messages, and what it means to be anti-racist in the abroad context for American students who have been abroad, or may be visiting, studying, or traveling abroad.
This workshop will engage participants in the following activities:

Better understanding of the phrase “anti-racism”
Learning about race and its nuances
Recognizing how culture can shape how racism and power structures develop
Seeing how media around the world uphold oppression in different ways, and
Creating action steps toward actively recognizing oppression abroad.

This workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/zxorq.
We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time (one week preferred) to arrange for your requested accommodation(s) or an effective alternative.

Cognitive Science Seminar Series (March 1, 2021 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81509 81509-20903720@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 1, 2021 2:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Linguistics graduate student Yushi Sugimoto will present "Forming the Structural Spine of Creole Languages: A neo-constructivist approach to Creole Languages." Please visit the Cognitive Science Seminar Series website for Zoom access information.

ABSTRACT
In this presentation I suggest that that the formation of the functional categories can be underspecified, which will yield “hybrid grammar”(Aboh 2009, 2015), assuming that syntactic configuration determines the information such as argument structure based on a neo-constructivist approach to mono/bilingual/creole Grammar (Borer2003, Marantz 1997, Lohndal 2014, Riksem 2018).
In the language mixing in which the words are mixed within the same categories such as nominal phrases, functional categories (FCs) are determined by one of the two languages and the roots are determined by the other language. Thus, even if the language is “mixed,” it does not mix the properties of FCs (Grimstad et al. 2018, Riksem et al. 2019). I will argue that, for some creole languages, unlike some patterns of language mixing whose FCs are selected by one of the source languages, FCs are formed derivationally, resulting in having the hybrid nature of FCs.

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.

Organized By: Tau Beta Pi

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Luncheon series is an annual series sponsored by the College of Engineering and Tau Beta Pi. The series seeks to promote a culture of inclusion, while helping encourage attendees to continue their development as a "whole person" rather than simply as an "engineer". Past topics have covered a wide range of issues, including social and cultural conflict, social change, globalization, technological growth and change, and urbanization. Our main goal with the luncheon series is to look at topics that go beyond the purely technical side of engineering. This semester, in order to ensure attendee safety, we are holding these events virtually over Zoom.

Speaker: Prof. Nicole Ellison, Karl E. Weick Collegiate Professor of Information, School of Information

Title: Why We Don’t Click: Interrogating the Relationship Between Viewing and Clicking in Social Media Contexts by Exploring the “Non-Click”

Abstract: Motivated by work that characterizes view-based social media practices as “passive use,” contrasting it with more desirable, interactive “active use,” this study explores how social media users understand their viewing and clicking practices and the empirical relationship between them. Employing a combination of eye tracking, survey, and interview methods, our study (N = 42) investigates what we call the non-click —instances where people intentionally and thoughtfully do not click on content they spend time viewing. Counterintuitively, we find no difference in how long our participants viewed content they clicked on compared to content they did not click. Our interview data reveal three audience-related concerns that contribute to deliberate non-clicking and illustrate how non-clicked content contributes to social connectedness when imported into other channels. I’ll share some thoughts on what this study might suggest for communities and individuals. For instance, what are some of the consequences of social media ecosystems that assume we click on worthy content? For maintaining a friendship, is it better to pick up the phone after reading a post, or to click “Like”?

To register for the event, please fill out the form linked here (https://forms.gle/ntmjzqK9vwEV1gzb8) by midnight on Sunday, Feb. 28. All attendees will receive a GrubHub coupon for use during the luncheon event. We hope to see you there!

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

*Please direct any questions or accommodation requests to Mikalia Dennis (mikaliad@umich.edu) as soon as possible.*

In order to have meaningful, productive conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion, we must start with a common language. This session will provide an introduction to key terminology as well as the categories and labels we use to describe others and ourselves. We will also examine how our identities shape the way we enter the world and our interactions with each other. Emphasis will be placed on using our identities to help us understand the identities and experiences of others.

In this session, participants will:

- Identify the benefits of inclusive environments
- Review key terminology related to diversity, equity, and inclusion
- Reflect on the origin of identities, their intersectionality, and their meanings
- Use our own identities as a window to understanding the identities of others to build more authentic, empathic relationships

Audience:

The prospect of engaging in interracial dialogue can be a discomforting one for many people in the United States. There’s concern about saying the wrong thing, fear of how you or others will respond, and oftentimes a desire to get out of the moment as quickly as possible. In this session on navigating interracial dialogue, we will explore what are people’s biggest barriers to engaging in interracial dialogue, present a framework for engaging in race-aware interracial dialogue, and critique a dialogue for review. This training is being developed and facilitated by EQuity.
This workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

A Taste of Frontier Medicine: The Kumys Cure in Sergei Aksakov’s Eastern Frontier Trilogy (March 4, 2021 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81936 81936-20990916@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 4, 2021 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Slavic Languages & Literatures

"A Taste of Frontier Medicine” considers Sergei Aksakov’s extensive, mid-nineteenth-century memoirs through the lens of a “frontier family narrative,” a genre perhaps more familiar in the American literary setting. While Aksakov’s work has received critical attention for its memoiristic content and attention to nature, the geohistorical specificity of the trilogy’s setting has been overlooked. This is surprising given the recent interest in understanding Russian colonial and imperial experience. A Family Chronicle (1856) and Childhood Years (1856) are not books in which the action could take place anywhere or in some generic pastoral or provincial space. Rather, they are about a specific place – Orenburgskii krai (Bashkiria) – that was a borderland, frontier, and contact zone from the time of its inclusion within Russian imperial space in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries into Aksakov’s lifetime. In “A Taste of Frontier Medicine,” I explore some of the ways in which the eastern Russian border with “Asia” broadly understood frames Aksakov’s work, as well as how these texts make claims about Russian identity as something defined by and in the “hybrid,” Eurasian sphere of the border zone. Discussion will center on two episodes that articulate a critical aspect of Aksakov’s frontier imaginary: the narrator’s mother’s taking of a “kumys cure.” The “kumys cure” serves as a revitalizing moment that establishes “nomadic,” “Asiatic” elements of the frontier as a crucial antidote to both a perceived excess of civilization and, counter-intuitively, to the potential dangers of the frontier zone itself.

On the Peripheries of the Subaltern: Privilege, Marginalization, and Intersectional Identities (March 5, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80573 80573-20749957@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 5, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Grounded in theoretical frameworks of “otherness,” such as Spivak’s “subaltern” and Canagarajah’s “periphery,” this workshop will explore the intersection of multiple identities which are simultaneously held by every individual.
After participants engage in an exploration of these intersectional identities, they will then analyze how biases—like colorism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, and xenophobia—can still be internalized within communities which are also marginalized.
This workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

DEI in Engineering Pedagogy - Find Your Students (March 5, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82451 82451-21100197@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 5, 2021 1:00pm

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are central and defining components of pedagogy. When we don’t explicitly consider DEI in our courses (syllabi, assignments, exams, grades) we end up actively contributing to an oppressive, inequitable monoculture. One of most helpful and inclusive practices we can cultivate as teachers is to listen deeply and compassionately. Drawing from research on cognition, learning and epistemology as well as my own experience as a researcher and teacher, I have a few suggestions for how to use listening as a teaching tool. All teaching requires a contract between the teachers and the taught, and the default (historical and tacit) contract puts undue and inequitable burdens on our students. It is our responsibility as educators to change our practices to address these inequities.

A Story Circle is a small group of individuals sitting in a circle, sharing stories—usually from their own experience or imagination—focusing on a common theme. As each person in turn shares a story, a richer and more complex story emerges. By the end, people see both real differences and things their stories have in common. Story Circles are often understood as deriving from indigenous traditions. There are many variations (https://usdac.us).
In this session participants will be invited to share a story around the theme of Building Community and Relationships. Staff from the Rackham Resolution Office will serve as facilitators for the process and will end the session by sharing campus resources and information related to the theme.
The prompt for this story circle is: Share a story about what community has been like for you in graduate school.

Linguistics graduate student Wil Gonzales will present proposed work on stop voicing in Hokkien. Title: Age and ethnicity in the perception of Hokkien stop voicing: A proposal.

Please visit the Seminar Series website for Zoom access information.

ABSTRACT

Can listeners’ knowledge of socially-condition linguistic variation influence how they perceive the speech of talkers from different social groups? Can the listeners’ perception be conditioned by their own social background? In this talk, I propose a study that hopes to answer these questions in the Sino-Philippine context. I focus on the potential effect of age (young vs. old) and ethnicity (Lannang vs. Mainlander) on the perception of Hokkien stop voicing in individuals with Southern Chinese heritage (SCH) - the Lannangs and the Mainlanders .
I plan to conduct a perception experiment to be administered over PsychoPy. I will subject my participants to a two-alternative forced choice task, where they will be first exposed to stimuli (created using a Hokkien voiced-voiceless stop continuum) and then decide which word they believe they heard from two alternatives on the computer screen. These are minimal pair Hokkien words that differ only by the voicing of the stop onset – /gau35/ ‘smart’ and /kau35/ ‘monkey’. In the experiment, participants will decide on the word based on audiovisual stimuli (social manipulation).
At the level of the talker, I hypothesize that individuals with SCH will differ in their perceptual judgments of stimuli varying along a voiced-to-voiceless stop continuum in ways that are sensitive to expected social characteristics of the talker. I expect there to be an asymmetrical effect: only talker ethnicity and not age will affect the judgments, as ethnicity is ‘socially marked’ in the Manila SCH community whereas age is not (McGowan and Babel 2019; Gonzales 2021). At the listener level, I hypothesize that the age and ethnicity of the listener can predict the perceptual judgments that they make. Young SCH listeners, having more exposure and experience with dialectal variation, may have significantly different /gau/-/kau/ perceptual crossover points in the Lannang and Mainlander talker conditions. Mainlander listeners, with little to no motivation to distinguish themselves from the Lannangs and no motivation to pay attention to the variation, may be inclined to have the similar crossover points for both Mainlander and Lannang talker conditions.

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.

Abstract:
Research into low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) is a thriving area, stimulated not only by the range of applications of LTP devices, but also by the richness and complexity of the physical phenomena which have in recent years become evident in such plasmas - instabilities and self-organization, for example. Understanding such phenomena offers a means of optimizing the performance of existing devices, while also guiding the development of next-generation sources. Such objectives are challenging and will require a combination of advanced numerical, theoretical, and experimental approaches, many of which are still under development.

New experimental approaches applied to LTPs can offer insights into aspects such as particle properties and dynamics, which may be inaccessible to conventional diagnostics. In recent years, highly-sensitive coherent and incoherent Thomson scattering implementations have been achieved for magnetized LTPs, providing evidence for, and information on, instabilities implicated in anomalous transport, and new access to electron properties. In this talk, recent insights gained from Thomson scattering in such plasmas will be discussed, with illustrations of how dialogue between experiments, theory and numerical simulations have improved current understanding.

About the Speaker:
Dr. Sedina Tsikata is a researcher with the CNRS, the French National Center for Scientific Research, working at the ICARE laboratory in Orléans, France. She received undergraduate and graduate degrees from, respectively, MIT and Ecole Polytechnique, and her postdoctoral research was funded by the French Space Agency. Her main research focuses on understanding phenomena in magnetized plasmas via the development and application of new diagnostics.

Building Your Toolbox as an Anti-Racist Advocate in Higher Ed (March 11, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81654 81654-20939471@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 11, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Higher Ed is a particular kind of work and learning space. While it shares characteristics with its primary and secondary counterparts, it is decidedly different in its teaching, student, and administrative contexts. As a result, anti-racist work in higher education settings must look different than it might in K-12 contexts and in other types professional work settings (corporate, non-profit, etc.). This workshop will ask participants to think more closely about the nuances of racial in/justice and in/equity in higher education and how those nuances, along with the cultural and professional norms of academia, impact the frameworks and tools that we might use as racial justice proponents.
This workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/QArPY.
We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

Shaping Resource Flows | Buildings: A Climate Solution with Bruce King (March 12, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82478 82478-21108091@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 12, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Buildings: A Climate Solution tells the emerging story of architecture that heals the climate by storing more carbon than ever emitted: Building to cool the planet. Around the world, the theory and the practice of making “carbon smart” buildings is being developed by a rapidly expanding network of experts and innovators. Here we will explore the time value of carbon, low-carbon concrete and the new family of low-carbon building codes, and plant-based, carbon-storing materials, mapping an ambitious but practical pathway toward a built environment that has net zero operating emissions but also acts as a massive carbon sponge.

Bruce King is the author of “The New Carbon Architecture,” and has been a structural engineer for 40 years, designing buildings of every size and type all over the world. He is also author of the ASTM standard for earthen construction, the Marin County Low-Carbon Concrete code, and the books “Buildings of Earth and Straw,” “Making Better Concrete,” and “Design of Straw Bale Buildings.” Mr. King is also the Founder and Director of the Ecological Building Network (EBNet), a non-profit information resource that sponsors the BuildWell Source, an online library of low-carbon and carbon storing materials.

Panelists:

Lucca Henrion, Research Fellow, Global CO2 Initiative, University of Michigan

Lionel Lemay, Executive Vice President/Division Head, Structures and Sustainability, National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA)

Missy Stults, Sustainability and Innovations Manager, City of Ann Arbor

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.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Psychology graduate student Stella Hao will give a talk titled "What shared decision strategies are used in economic and moral decisions?"

Please visit the Seminar Series website for Zoom access information.

ABSTRACT
This work aims to understand the strategies people use in making moral decisions and how such strategies are compatible with the characteristics of the environment and the cognitive limitation of the mind. To do this, we investigate what general decision strategies in moral decisions are, and ask whether they are adapted to the environment in the same way that non-moral decisions are. In this talk, I will first introduce a process-tracing method — the MouseLab paradigm (E. Johnson et al., 1989) — that helps identify strategies in decision making. Then, I will propose a series of studies investigating strategies in moral decisions in a given bounded environment. The environmental bounds that we explore are time constraints, numbers of choice alternatives, and numbers of attributes. We will then compare the strategies used in our moral decision tasks with those identified in non-moral decisions in the literature, as well as those identified in our non-moral decision tasks.

Stars are opaque, which makes it difficult to study their interiors. Recent space-based telescopes have led to the new field of asteroseismology: by measuring global oscillation modes of a star, you can infer its interior properties. Massive stars have convection in their cores which can generate waves, which might be detectable at the surface. In the first part of this talk, I will describe a heuristic way of estimating wave generation by convection, and compare it to high-resolution numerical simulations in Cartesian geometry. To make quantitative predictions to compare with observations, one must run simulations in spherical geometry. In the second part of my talk, I will present a new spectral algorithm for solving nearly arbitrary, tensorial PDEs in spherical coordinates. The challenge is to devise bases which respect regularity conditions at r=0, which depend on the rank of the tensor. The algorithm can be easily applied to the problem of wave generation by convection in stars, as well as a wide range of other problems in stellar astrophysics, core geophysics, and planetary sciences.

Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

A moving, 10-minute sketch about a mother who dies with a family secret that spurs feuding between the two daughters and grieving husband she leaves behind. When her mother passes away, Cori expects that coping with the loss will be tough. What she hadn’t counted on was having to negotiate with her sister and father for full inclusion in her mother’s obituary. This play explores the challenges a family faces as they confront their own attitudes about acceptance and visibility while trying to honor the memory of a loved one. Written by playwright Dawn Richberg, this short play explores some of the issues faced by those in the LGTBQ community. A discussion with the playwright and the actors will follow.
Playwright and poet Dawn Richberg is an Ann Arbor-based writer currently working on an M.F.A. in playwriting at Western Michigan University. Her ten-minute play The Special Friend was chosen for selection in the 2020 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. Dawn’s goal as a writer is to use the page and the stage to tell good stories, particularly stories that affirm the lives and diversity of experiences of African Americans.

Cognitive Science Seminar Series: "Homeostatic Processes Are Not Actions: Against Capacity Views of Action and Agential Control" (March 22, 2021 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81512 81512-20903723@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 22, 2021 2:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Malte Hendrickx (U-M philosophy) will give a talk titled "Homeostatic Processes Are Not Actions: Against Capacity Views of Action and Agential Control."

Please visit the Seminar Series website for Zoom access information.

ABSTRACT
Philosophy of action seeks to explicate the difference between what we do (actions) and what happens to us (mere behavior). The popular control view argues that one acts if and only if one agentially controls a movement. But is an agent in control only when causally affecting an occurrent movement in the right way? Or is having the capacity to affect the unfolding movement, as needed, sufficient for agential control? According to the "Capacity View", whether I control a movement is not settled by what I do to control it, but by what I could do to control it. I show that this is wrong, since there are controlled movements for which agents have the capacity for control, yet which are neither actions nor agentially controlled. These are movements like your passive breathing and blinking, which are controlled by bodily subsystems and allow for agential interference. The capacity view is unable to separate the passive process from the active interference. Consequently, the capacity for agential control can neither be a sufficient condition for action, nor for agential control.

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. Professor Diab has a special interest in Arabic NLP, where the emphasis has been on investigating Arabic dialect processing where there are very few available automated resources.

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.

Abstract:
Since the 1970s, the semiconductor industry has fabricated electronic circuits using a plasma based pattern-transfer approach that is remarkably reminiscent of the etching artform used centuries ago. Only now, the patterns are a million times smaller and driven by the wafer fab equipment industry. The most advanced plasma etching technique in production today is called atomic layer etching (ALE) in which a single layer is re-moved in a cyclic manner. This talk will review the ALE approach in comparison to conventional plasma etching techniques, such as Reactive Ion Etching (RIE). As RIE reaches its fifth decade, its drawbacks have become apparent. ALE offers better control by isolating steps in time and switching between the steps in a repeatable cycle. To the extent that an ALE process behaves ideally – with high ALE synergy and self-limiting behavior – the primary benefit is improved uniformity across all length scales: at the surface, between different aspect ratios, and across the full wafer. Another benefit that will be highlighted is the atomic-scale smoothness in topography of the surface left behind after etching. The underlying mechanism and benefits of plasma ALE will be described, providing insight into the plasma science be-hind the ancient art of etching. Overall, ALE is simpler to under-stand than conventional plasma etch processing, and is proving to be important as we apply the art of etch at the atomic scale.

A Story Circle is a small group of individuals sitting in a circle, sharing stories—usually from their own experience or imagination—focusing on a common theme. As each person in turn shares a story, a richer and more complex story emerges. By the end, people see both real differences and things their stories have in common. Story Circles are often understood as deriving from indigenous traditions. There are many variations (https://usdac.us).
In this session participants will be invited to share a story around the theme of Transition. Staff from the Rackham Resolution Office will serve as facilitators for the process and will end the session by sharing campus resources and information related to the theme.
The prompt for this story circle is: Share a story about a transition you have experienced in coming to Michigan or in navigating your degree.

Centering People and DEI in Engineering Research (March 26, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83189 83189-21290776@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 26, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are essential for a modern workforce and indicators of the development and sustainability of an industry. Construction is yet to be considered a fully diverse, equitable, and inclusive industry sector (Sang and Powell 2012) due to pervasive structural prejudices and unconscious biases. The construction workforce is dominated by men; in the US, women make up only 1/10 of the overall construction workforce (CPWR 2018) even though 50.8% of the US population are females and 21.9% of civil engineering bachelor’s degrees in the US were earned by females over the last two decades (Hickey and Cui 2020). These statistics demonstrate the lack of gender equality within the construction industry (Navarro-Astor et al. 2017).

Furthermore, challenges related to masculinity, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, language, age, and other stereotypes have negatively impacted the experience of underrepresented groups working within the construction industry. With the high turnover rate and increased labor shortage across different work classifications, construction organizations must overcome the aforementioned challenges and to achieve and sustain a safe, productive, and inclusive work environment. Inclusion is essential at work and results in everyone having the opportunity to fully apply themselves, contribute to the success of the company, and be valued for their specific skills, experience, and vision.

During the presentation, Dr. Simmons will discuss her funded interdisciplinary construction engineering and management research which centers people across three themes: DEI, interactions between humans and technology, and competency development via education and training. She will also describe her motivation for this work from her perspective as an African-American woman with decades of experience in the construction industry.

Denise R. Simmons, Ph.D., PE, PMP, LEED-AP is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering at the University of Florida. She has over ten years of construction and civil engineering experience working for energy companies and as a project management consultant; nearly 15 years of experience in academia; and extensive experience leading and conducting multi-institutional, workforce-related research and outreach. She is a leader in research investigating professional formation of civil engineers, with an increasing focus on project managers and the practical strategies that transform and sustain inclusive and productive organizations. While overseeing the Simmons Research Lab, her current research focuses on three areas: diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); interactions between humans and technology; and competency development via education and training.

Myanmar Speaker Event (March 28, 2021 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83203 83203-21306574@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 28, 2021 6:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Tau Beta Pi

On February 1, the Myanmar military forcefully seized control of the country, its latest power grab in a country whose history is marked by countless such attempts. Until 2011, Myanmar had spent over 40 years under military rule, bringing the country into deep poverty and isolating it from the rest of the world. Despite a transition to democracy in the early 2010s, the political climate has remained unstable.

The situation has escalated since the coup, with the Myanmar military and police attempting to take control through inhumane violence. However, despite the risks, people of all ethnicities, ages and professions are marching in protest against the coup. Many essential workers, including truck drivers and train station workers, have also gone on strike to protest.


In this talk, we will discuss Myanmar’s political history, its historical heritage, and specific events that have happened since the start of the coup. In addition, we will discuss ways in which we - and you - can help the peaceful protesters in Myanmar.

The speaker’s bios, as well as links to fundraising efforts to help the protesters in Myanmar, are included in this flyer. (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YWpkcVKaJugckgqYAq1imz-bMIFMiuDW9vBkpxGPLM4/edit?usp=sharing)

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.

Bio:

Dr. Plant is currently a NIST Fellow, focusing on cell imaging and theoretical frameworks for understanding complex biological response in cells. She is an ex officio member of the NIBIB National Advisory Council, a Fellow of the AIMBE, and an AAAS Fellow. She previously served as Chief of the Biosystems and Biomaterials Division at NIST, and in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

MIPSE Seminar | Mode Transitions in Low-temperature Aerospace Plasmas (March 31, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80224 80224-20602000@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 31, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

The seminar is free and open to the public.
To request the Zoom link, please send an email to:
mipse-central@umich.edu

Abstract:
Laboratory plasmas can experience abrupt transitions between operating modes during which either the plasma structure or dynamics undergo a sudden change. Nonlinear in nature, these mode transitions typically result from the existence of multiple stable plasma states. When developing new plasma sources, transitions between states generally occur in mysterious and oftentimes unexpected ways. Unpredictable mode transitions are particularly problematic to the design of new plasma-based aerospace technologies, such as electric propulsion systems. Detailed models of mode transition physics and scaling are critical to ensuring new systems behave as expected within their desired operating range. In this talk I will present experimental and theoretical research into the nature of mode transitions for two emerging technologies. The first is the helicon plasma thruster, an electrodeless propulsion concept relying on radiofrequency plasma heating and acceleration through a magnetic nozzle. The second, the plasma magnetoshell, is an aerocapture concept using magnetized plasma to generate drag on a spacecraft entering a planetary atmosphere. I will highlight the potential for new data science techniques to significantly advance the discovery and analysis of plasma mode transitions.

About the Speaker:
Dr. Justin Little is an Assistant Professor in the William E. Boeing Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics at the University of Washington. He received a BS in Physics and Aero-space engineering from the University of California, Irvine, and a PhD in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. Prof. Little’s research focuses on understanding how low-temperature plasma physics influence the performance and design of emerging electric propulsion technologies. His research methods emphasize a close relationship between reduced-order theoretical modeling and innovative experiment design to explore the fundamental scaling of dominant physics. He is a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellow and a recipient of the AFOSR Young Investigator Program award.

Organized By: Michigan Engineering

There are misperceptions within the Engineering field that “safe spaces” are an indulgence rather than filling a necessary role – by compensating for engineering cultures that are often alienating for women and our traditionally underrepresented and underserved populations.

Myth 3 of the series "Six Diversity Myths” highlights the need to unpack how safe spaces are more than havens from ignorant assumptions and pressure to assimilate with oppressive dominant social norms—they are places where students and faculty help one another to succeed and create cultures in which they feel at home.

This EnginTalks, which is a part of the DEI Lecture Series, will showcase narratives from students regarding how these affinity group organizations create safe spaces for themselves and their communities.

By attending this event, you will learn how to identify, utilize, and promote resources that provide safe spaces for students in need. The students on the panel represent several groups and will speak to the work they do to promote inclusivity and safety for community members in and out of the classroom.

Instruments to Study Rocket Plume Surface Interactions (PSI) on the Lunar Surface
Ariana Bueno (U-M Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering & Applied Physics)
In space exploration, the rocket plume-surface interaction (PSI) can lead to the ejection of large amounts of energetic particles, potentially damaging the spacecraft, its instruments, and associated hardware. Thus, understanding PSI processes is paramount to the safety of the lunar exploration program and beyond. In this presentation, Ariana will highlight how her research has led to a better understanding of PSI by developing in-flight instrumentation and conducting ground tests to simulate PSI.

Histotripsy: Crushing Cancer Cells with Acoustic Cavitation
Ryan Hubbard (U-M Biomedical Engineering & U-M Applied Physics)
Histotripsy is a non-invasive cancer-treatment approach using focused beams of ultrasound. In this presentation, Ryan will highlight the results of his research, illustrating histotripsy's ability to destroy tumor cells and elicit anti-tumor immune responses. He will describe the basics behind ultrasonic pulse generation, acoustic cavitation, and how the mechanism of histotripsy compares to other external beam treatments such as X-ray irradiation.

We celebrate the Van Loo Family Lecture on this occasion.
