FREE 4-Session Mindfulness Class (October 18, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/55611 55611-13761447@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 18, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Koru Mindfulness @ U-M

*Registration Closed. Contact hkat@umich.edu for future 4-week sessions.*

Thursdays from 4:00 - 5:30pm (10/4, 10/11, 10/18, 10/25)
@ Angel Hall G243 (Ground Floor)
During this 4-session class you will be introduced to the practice of mindfulness and learn several skills, including meditation, for managing stress and enriching your life. Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life, reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past. An important aspect of mindfulness is developing a non-judgmental, accepting, even curious, attitude about your moment-to-moment experience. The more you develop this attitude, the less you will feel overwhelmed by changes and challenges in your life.

Koru is designed to introduce you to the practice of mindfulness and get you well on your way to developing this important skill. Like learning any new skill, it takes practice to get comfortable with mindfulness. We invite you to devote yourself to the study and practice of mindfulness over the next four weeks, and we challenge you to stay curious about what evolves for you as you persistently and patiently practice living mindfully. We also have a free mobile app to track meditation practices for this course!

For any questions, please contact Hitomi Katsumi at hkat@umich.edu.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Department of Film, Television, and Media

The event investigates the formation of the American film industry from its origins into the 1940s and beyond, paying special attention to the racially specific underpinnings of stardom, animation, and exhibition. The mini-conference's invited speakers will discuss their groundbreaking research into the complex relationships between black audiences and black performers in the classical Hollywood era, early American animation’s reliance on blackface minstrelsy, and understanding African American film exhibition before 1930 as broadcasts of racial uplift and demands to control their own visual representation on screen. During the pedagogy session, the speakers will also interrogate how research into film history and cinema-related archival collections can help University faculty and graduate student instructors foster and facilitate critical discussions of race with their students.

MIPSE Seminar | Solving (Stellar) Flows: Methods, Software, and Results (October 31, 2018 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53757 53757-13459391@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 31, 2018 3:30pm
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Understanding the interaction of convec-tion, magnetic fields, and rotation is essen-tial to a robust understanding of stellar magnetism. These flows are at extreme pa-rameter regimes that defy our largest su-percomputers. I will discuss a number of strategies we have developed to make pro-gress on these problems, including the flexible PDE solver Dedalus. In particular, I will discuss the development of tools for Direct Statistical Simulation, a new strategy for studying anisotropic turbulent flows. I will discuss the application of these techniques to several important illustrative problems from astrophysical fluid dynamics.

About the Speaker: Jeff Oishi is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Bates College in Lewiston, ME, where he leads a research group of undergraduates. He is also Research Associate at the American Museum of Natural History. He was an un-dergraduate at Columbia and did his PhD at the University of Virginia. His re-search interests are in numerical methods for magnetohydrodynamics, stability theory, and turbulence. Prof. Oishi is a member of the Dadelus Project, an open source framework for solving partial differential equations.

The seminar will be web-simulcast. To view the simulcast, please follow this link:

The U.S. at "endless war": Public policy and those who serve (November 12, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57238 57238-14139835@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 12, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

Free and open to the public.

Dinner from Chela's Restaurant & Taqueria will be served. Please RSVP here: https://goo.gl/forms/wnJqY5GVZTxAFmV92

Join the conversation: #policytalks

Ford School faculty, students, and staff (along with the general public) are warmly invited to join this community event as we celebrate Veterans Day and explore issues at the intersection of public policy and military service.

The United States has been at war for 16 years with no clear end in sight. Further, over the past decade the U.S. has made an effort to shrink the size of its military--while at the same time increasing its responsibilities and engagement around the world. Meanwhile, in the absence of mandatory service we see a growing demographic divide between policymakers who chart the course for war or peace and the people and families who bear the brunt of fighting and deployment.

With those contexts in mind, panelists and audience members will discuss issues such as: what are the cascading effects of policy decisions on active duty folks, national guard members, and their families? When policies change at the top level, what are the impacts on those who are serving?

And what should future policy leaders understand about veterans' issues--transition to civilian life, workforce/employment issues, mental health and substance abuse, demographic trends in the composition of the veteran population, the future and long-term sustainability of Veterans Affairs, etc?


Panelists:

Bayan Founas is an educator and youth mentor in Detroit. She graduated from the university of Michigan in 2014 with a Women's Studies degree and will receive her Master's Degree in Educational Leadership and Policy from the University of Michigan in 2019. Passionate about making educational reforms in predominately poor communities of color, she created an art & poetry club for Detroit youth to creatively heal. Founas enjoys writing, reading, and performing spoken-word poetry.

In her first book, Founas outlines her life experiences and views through poetry. As the daughter of Algerian immigrants, she depicts the realities of growing up in America in the diaspora – leaving her between two foreign lands. She also provides a unique glimpse into the glories and traumas of educating black and brown youth in Detroit. This body of work is HER story as a first-generation Arab and Muslim woman growing up in America – a narrative that is rarely told from one’s own perspective.

Recent progress in solid-state high power electronics has produced compact and reliable high voltage nanosecond (ns) generators for research and industry. High-voltage pulses 5-10 kV in amplitude and a few tens of ns in duration are capable of producing highly non-equilibrium low temperature plasmas over a wide range of pressure – 0.1 Torr to 15 bar. In these transient plasmas, reduced electric fields up to kTd (1 Td = 10-17 V cm2), are typical at the propagating discharge front that initially produces the plasma. Behind the front the electric field stays high, hundreds of Td, producing high densities of excited states and radicals. This results in the high efficiency of ns discharges as a trigger for chemically active sys-tems. At deposited energies of 0.5-1 eV/molecule, high rates of energy relaxation produce fast gas heating – thousands of K during tens of nanoseconds. Excitation densities can become so high that collisions of excited species with ions, other excited species and radicals become important. A review of plasma parameters in ns discharges, from fast ionization waves (FIWs) at low pressure to filamentary nanosecond surface dielectric barrier discharges (nSDBDs) at tens of bars will be given. Modifications of discharges leading to high energy release will be discussed, as well as their consequences for plasma diagnostics and potential applications.

About the Speaker: Dr. Svetlana Starikovskaia received the Ph.D. in Plasma Physics and Chemistry in 1993 from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology where she was also Senior Scientist and Professor. During this time, Dr. Svetlana Starikovskaia became one of the youngest Doctors of Science (D.Sc.) in Russia, receiving the Russian Federation Presidential Award for Young Doctors of Science. She is now Senior Researcher (Directrice de recherche) in the CNRS Laboratory for Physics of Plasma, French National Academy of Science. Her research interests include nanosecond pulsed discharges and fast ionization waves; kinetics of gases and plasmas at extreme thermodynamic nonequilibrium; kinetics of excited species and their influence of chemically nonequilibrium media and interaction of nonequilibrium plasmas with living cells. Dr. Starikovskaia is internationally recognized for her research in plasma assisted combustion for which she has written several review papers. Dr. Starikovskaia has authored more than 70 articles.

Vessels and marine structures are subjected to degradation during their service, jeopardizing structural safety and shortening their service life. Numerical models of such structural systems are developed and relied on to simulate and ensure the systemintegrity. Such numerical models are the essential part of digital twins representing complex marine structures and providing enhanced forecasts of risk and lifecycle performance. Digital twins also require data fusion from observations or experiments to improve the numerical model agreements with the real-world structure. Due to the
infeasible of full-scale testing of marine structures, scale experiments are developed but few of them reflect many of the properties of large and complex marine structures.Thus, an experiment must be designed to mimic the multiple degradation process and retain structural redundancy so that a single element failure will not remove all load carrying capacity. Dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) can model the degradation process of structure but its performance has not been validated by experiments. Therefore, the proposed designs an experiment to mimic the properties of marine structure and develops a corresponding numerical model whose performance is validated by the designed experiment. To mimic the interdependence, redundancy and component-to-system level
performance of marine structures in degradation, a hexagon tension specimen with four propagating fatigue cracks, one on each corner, is designed and tested. The applied loading cycles and corresponding crack lengths are recorded as the major time-varying data of degradation state. Two methods of measuring crack length are developed based on computer vision and digital image correlation. To complement the test specimen, a DBN is constructed to predict the crack length and system reliability with observation input. The network models the time-varying process with sequential slices. The dependence among components are controlled by hyperparameters and are integrated into complex system behavior to reflect the structure from the component level to the
system level. The performance of the DBN is tested and validated by the data gathered from the experiment of hexagon specimen.

Let’s watch a movie together! A movie that tells a story that you have never heard…

“In a Better World”

Anton is a doctor who commutes between his home in an idyllic town in Denmark, and his work at an African refugee camp. In these two very different worlds, he and his family are faced with conflicts that lead them to difficult choices between revenge and forgiveness. Anton and his wife Marianne, who have two young sons, are separated and struggling with the possibility of divorce. Their older, ten-year-old son Elias is being bullied at school, until he is defended by Christian, a new boy who has just moved from London with his father, Claus. Christian’s mother recently lost her battle with cancer, and Christian is greatly troubled by her death. Elias and Christian quickly form a strong bond, but when Christian involves Elias in a dangerous act of revenge with potentially tragic consequences, their friendship is tested and lives are put in danger. Ultimately, it is their parents who are left to help them come to terms with the complexity of human emotions, pain and empathy. – Rotten Tomatoes

MIPSE Seminar | Deconstructing Integrated High Energy Density Physics Experiments into Fundamental Models for Validation (December 5, 2018 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53759 53759-13459393@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 5, 2018 3:30pm
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

While the march towards achieving indirectly driven iner-tial confinement fusion (ICF) at the National Ignition Facil-ity has made great progress, experiments show that mul-tidimensional effects dominate implosion performance. Low mode implosion symmetry and hydrodynamic insta-bilities seeded by capsule mounting features are two lim-iting factors for implosion performance. These factors have a sizeable impact on ICF performance due to the high convergences needed for high fusion gains. Physics models in the codes that are “good enough” at low con-vergences may not be accurate enough for high conver-gence ICF implosions. When applying large complex simu-lations to ICF problems, one may ask “what is the domain of validity for the models that make up the simulations.” A major challenge in high energy density science is code or model validation due to the integrated nature of ex-periments and the extreme experimental conditions. De-signing experiments to isolate and validate models is im-portant, as well as obtaining data to determine the confi-dence in the models as one moves to parameters where experimental data does not exist. This presentation will discuss the challenges, a framework for validating models, and the extrapolation beyond experimental data.

About the Speaker: Dr. John Kline received a BS at the U. of South Florida in 1995 and a PhD in Plasma Physics from West Virginia U. in 2002, focusing on ion heating in Helicon plasma sources. In 2002, he joined Los Alamos National Lab investigating laser plasma interactions in the context of ICF. Starting in 2008, Dr. Kline became involved in the national ICF program at the National Ignition Facility and later as a campaign leader. He conducted some of the first experiments on NIF after the initial completion of the facility studying hohlraum radiation drive and laser coupling to gas filled hohlraums. He has also been involved experiments covering a wide range of topics in High Energy Density Science (HEDS) including radiation transport, hydrodynamic instabilities, and electron heat transport. Dr. Kline has over 200 publications and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Dr. Kline is currently the LANL ICF program manager.

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Multidisciplinary Design Program

See how Michigan Engineering students are designing solutions to our world's challenges.

The College of Engineering Design Expo is held twice a year to provide a public forum for engineering students to demonstrate applications of their studies to real-life needs. Students gain valuable experience by presenting their work.

Through this venue, the greater University community and general public has the opportunity to learn how Michigan's students are contributing in significant ways to solving major technology challenges across various disciplines.

These student projects consist of internal University of Michigan projects, non-profit community projects, and industry-sponsored projects. Many of these projects are part of Senior Design Project Courses, but other project groups are welcome and encouraged to participate. Student groups that would like to present must register for a first-come, first-served spot by November 1st.

This event is held in multiple North Campus locations including the Duderstadt Center, Bob & Betty Beyster Building, Pierpont Commons, EECS Building, G.G. Brown Building, and Chrysler Center.

For more information, contact Lindsey Dowswell in the Multidisciplinary Design Program office at lindsd@umich.edu or (734) 763-0818.

Sex Lives of the Early Moderns
In this talk I offer a new conceptual and methodological approach to the history of sexuality: the sex life. Colloquial use of the term “sex life” usually takes the form of a value judgment: one’s sex life is either “good” or “bad.” I argue that these seemingly simple value judgments actually signal a host of assumptions about the ways that sex weaves itself—mentally, physically, emotionally, and politically—through everyday life, and that these assumptions can provide scholars with a useful guide for approaching sex in the past. Such a focus on the lived experience of sexuality can also, I argue, help us reconceptualize the lived experience of other, intersecting vectors of social differentiation and hierarchiziation. Focusing on one such intersection, the phenomenological imbrication of race and sex, I analyze the affective scripts that interracial romances like John Fletcher's The Island Princess (1621) offered to early modern playgoers—some of whom, I show, may we have been in interracial relationships themselves. Ultimately, I argue that reading for the sex lives of the early moderns reveals some of the inner workings of racism in a period before "race" emerged as an identity category.

HET Brown Bag | CWoLa Hunting -- Machine Learning for Model-Agnostic Bump Hunts (January 16, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59652 59652-14777839@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 16, 2019 12:00pm

New physics at the LHC would typically manifest as an anomalous overdensity of events in some phase space region of the high-dimensional feature space of LHC data. The traditional way to search for new physics is to make some theory-motivated guess as to what it will look like, and then make a phase space selection which is optimized using simulated data and then look in that region for an excess in the real LHC data. Higher sensitivity is often achieved at the expense of introducing stronger assumptions about the underlying signal model, which are used to make more optimised multivariate cuts using more event features. I will discuss a case study of an alternate paradigm, in which sensitive multivariate selections can be be found while maintaining few signal-model assumptions and without the need for potentially unreliable signal simulations. The key ingredient is a machine learning algorithm which searches for event over-densities on an otherwise smooth background, as is often the case in bump hunts for particle resonances. In this 'CWoLa-hunting' (Classification Without Labels) strategy, the selection cuts are not determined in advance but are rather dictated by the distribution of the actual measured LHC data. I will also provide a summary of some of the other ideas for using machine learning for model-agnostic searches that have been proposed in 2018.

HET Brown Bag | Analytic Approach to EIgenstate Thermalization (ETH) in the SYK Model and Schwarzian Theory (January 23, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60107 60107-14838290@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 23, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Randall Laboratory
Organized By: HET Brown Bag Series

The SYK model provides an uncommon example of a theory where Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) can be verified in analytically. In this talk I will discuss this model in the deep infrared limit where the theory has an emergent conformal (reparametrization) symmetry that is broken both spontaneously and explicitly. To study the validity of ETH, we compute the heavy- light correlation functions of operators in the conformal spectrum of the theory. We compute these correlation functions with and without the contribution of the low energy (Schwarzian) modes, which are known to be the origin of the chaotic behaviour in this theory. In considering the contributions of the Schwarzian modes we find a weaker form of ETH: while the heavy operator insertions increase the effective temperature perceived by the light insertions, this effective temperature is proportional to the background temperature and goes to zero with the background temperature. In the case where Schwarzian modes aren’t considered, we find ETH in limit in which the weight of the heavy operators approach infinity. I will also discuss implications of these results for the states in AdS2 gravity dual.

Whether you are writing a research article, proposal, conference abstract or dissertation, it is important to pay attention to style. Academic style is not so much a matter of following rules, but more a matter of making choices. Even if you are aware of the stylistic conventions of your field and of academic writing in general, you may also seek ways to more strongly position yourself and create your scholarly identity. In this workshop we will discuss some common features of academic style and how to make effective choices. Bring a text you are currently working on for analysis.

Better Assemblies Through Geometric Frustration (January 25, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60291 60291-14857788@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 25, 2019 3:00pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Department of Physics

In hard materials, geometric frustration (GF) is most often associated with the disruption of long-range order in the bulk and proliferation of defects in the ground state. Soft and self-assembled materials, on the other hand, are composed of intrinsically flexible building blocks held together deformable and non-covalent forces. As such, soft assemblies systems are able to tolerate some measure of local misfit due to frustration, allowing imperfect order to extend over at least some
finite range.

This talk will overview an emerging paradigm for self-organized soft materials, geometrically-frustrated assemblies (GFAs), where interactions between self-assembling elements (e.g. particles, macromolecules, proteins) favor local packing motifs that are incompatible with uniform global order in the assembly. This classification applies to a broad range of material assemblies including self-twisting
protein filament bundles, amyloid fibers, chiral smectics and membranes, particle-coated droplets, curved protein shells and phase-separated lipid vesicles. In assemblies, GF leads to a host of anomalous structural and thermodynamic
properties, including heterogeneous and internally-stressed equilibrium structures, self-limiting assembly and topological defects in the equilibrium assembly structures.

I will highlight the some of the basic principles and common outcomes of GF in soft matter assemblies, as well as, outstanding questions not yet addressed about the unique properties and behaviors of this broad class of systems. Finally, I will describe opportunities and challenges to exploit the scale-dependent thermodynamics of GFA to engineer new classes of intentionally ill-fitting assemblies that target equilibrium architectures with well-defined dimensions on length scales that extend far beyond the size of the building blocks or their interactions.

In the early universe, the Standard Model particles formed a hot thermal bath. We highlight the importance of finite temperature corrections in these conditions on various production mechanisms of dark matter, primarily through temperature dependent masses and scalar vevs. We first consider a variation on standard freeze-out, where kinematic thresholds determine the relic abundance. We then consider a freeze-in model where the production rate is dramatically increased when a kinematic threshold opens. Finally, we present a qualitatively new production mechanism for dark matter, where dark matter decay is allowed for a limited amount of time just before the electroweak phase transition.

Maanya is a second year master’s student at the University of Michigan School of Environment and Sustainability. As part of her master’s thesis, Maanya is looking at understanding various factors that influence farmers’ decisions in deciding sowing dates of rice in India and to what extent climate variability impacts these decisions. Prior to joining SEAS, Maanya studied the impact of climate change on the Himalayan glaciers. Broadly, she is interested in the field of climate change impacts on natural resources and their adaptive capacities. At COP24, she followed climate adaptation communication with respect to developing countries.

Tim is a senior in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts where he studies in the Program in the Environment (PitE) and Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). He is also pursuing minors in Energy Science and Policy and Urban Studies. Tim is particularly interested in understanding political barriers to developed countries’ adoption of market-based climate change mitigation strategies--including emissions trading and carbon pricing policies--at sub-national and national levels. He is currently preparing his undergraduate thesis on the role of environmental NGOs and pressure groups in advancing the mitigation efforts of European Union member states. At COP24, Tim followed talks on carbon markets and examined NGO influence strategies.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:
In a joint presentation, Tim and Maanya will discuss anecdotes from COP24, tying their experiences and take-aways to the current US climate policy landscape and opportunities/challenges for future progress. Specifically, they will draw lessons from the negotiations on economic diversification, the just transition, and science-inclusive policy and direct suggestions towards US stakeholders which may be applied in local climate work.

**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**

Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills. The series will be co-hosted/sponsored by TBP and the graduate societies of MSE, ECE, ChE, and MACRO and also sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs! As "learning-by-practice" event, it aims to help students learn how to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience, while also engaging a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering. The event is aimed primarily at graduate students planning to take their candidacy exam, but anyone is welcome to participate! We will host 7-10 events each term, and event dates/times will be announced on a rolling basis.

Each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

If you would like to participate as a speaker/audience, please fill out the links below. We will follow-up with you with scheduling details. NOTE: The event is open to ALL CoE students, regardless of TBP membership status.

HET Brown Bag Seminars | Testing Models of Dark Matter and Modifications to Gravity using Local Milky Way Observables (January 30, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60479 60479-14899147@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 30, 2019 12:00pm

Organized By: HET Brown Bag Series

Galactic rotation curves are often considered the first robust evidence for the existence of dark matter. However, even in the presence of a dark matter halo, other galactic-scale observations, such as the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relation and the Radial Acceleration Relation, remain challenging to explain. This has motivated various models of dark matter as well as long-distance, infrared (IR) modifications to gravity as an alternative to the dark matter hypothesis. We present a framework to test a general class of such models using local Milky Way observables, including the vertical acceleration field, the rotation curve, the baryonic surface density, and the stellar disk profile. In this talk I will focus on models that predict scalar amplifications of gravity, i.e., models that increase the magnitude but do not change the direction of the gravitational acceleration. MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) as well as superfluid dark matter are examples. We find that models of this type are in tension with observations of the Milky Way scale radius and bulge mass and that cold non-interacting dark matter provides a better fit to the data. We conclude that models that result in a MOND-like force struggle to simultaneously explain both the rotational velocity and vertical motion of nearby stars in the Milky Way. A future publication will extend this analysis to include other models such as Strongly Interacting Dark Matter (SIDM).

Osama R. Bilal, ETH Postdoctoral Fellow, California Institute of Technology (Caltech)

Mechanical metamaterials are material systems with tailored, architected geometry, designed to retain static and dynamic properties that do not exist or rare in nature. This class of materials usually features a structural pattern that repeats spatially (i.e., unit cell). Most of the metamaterials properties are inscribed in the unit cell’s frequency dispersion spectrum, ranging form its stiffness at zero frequency to its wave attenuation capacity at finite frequencies. These metamaterials are well suited to provide new materials-based advances (through geometry rather than chemical composition) to both structural and acoustical engineering of aerospace vehicles and structures. These advances, for example, can range from sound and vibration insulation to flow control. A major challenge in metamaterials design is to engineer unit cells that have the ability to change their mechanical properties in a predetermined manner, within practical time frames. As a demonstration of principle, we harness geometric and magnetic nonlinearities to tune the metamaterials’ dispersion characteristics. We program our nonlinear metamaterial to redirect stress waves, on the fly, in a reversible and element-wise fashion.

EIHS Symposium: Confronting a Climate of Despair: Transformative Pedagogies in the Anthropocene (February 1, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57332 57332-14157741@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 1, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

The arc of history is long and trending hotter, but at the moment it is hard to claim it bends towards justice. This symposium engages widely shared anxieties and aspirations regarding the role of the humanities in the midst of crisis. The challenge of integrating climate change and environmental justice into teaching is only partly a matter of disciplinary expertise. Georgetown University climate historian Dagomar Degroot will discuss his successes and failures in teaching about climate change. The symposium concludes by grappling with dystopian visions in order to ask how humans live with climate change and how critical pedagogies can avoid exacerbating a “climate of despair.”

Moderated by Perrin Selcer (University of Michigan), facilitated by Anne Berg (University of Michigan).

Dagomar Degroot is an assistant professor of environmental history at Georgetown University. His recent work focuses on the resilience of different societies to pre-industrial climate change; the history of animal cultures in the Arctic, and the social impacts, on Earth, of environmental changes in outer space. His first book, The Frigid Golden Age: Climate Change, the Little Ice Age, and the Dutch Republic, 1560-1720, was recently published by Cambridge University Press. His second book, Civilization and the Cosmos: An Environmental History of Humanity's Place in the Solar System, is under contract with Harvard University Press and Penguin Random House. He is the co-founder of the Climate History Network, an organization of more than 200 climate scholars, and the founder of HistoricalClimatology.com, a website that receives roughly 500,000 hits per year.

This event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg. Presented with support from Environmental History Interest Group; Institute for the Humanities; Program in the Environment; and Science, Technology, and Society.

In this talk I discuss Hamiltonian truncation, a toolkit to construct quantum field theories. Hamiltonian truncation is in many ways orthogonal to the more familiar lattice regularization, and it can be used to systematically compute QFT observables with little computational effort. In the first part of this talk I will review the basic ideas behind this method, as well as some examples from the literature in d=2 and d>2 dimensions. In the second part I will discuss recent work involving strongly-coupled scalar theories on the three-dimensional sphere. Based on hep-th/1811.00528.

Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Tau Beta Pi

Please join the Student Space Systems Fabrication Laboratories (S3FL) and Tau Beta Pi for a corporate info session with Spaceflight Industries.

Traditionally, access to space has been limited to government entities due to high cost. Sending satellites into orbit once required purchasing an entire rocket; however, with the growing industry of smallsats, the demand for routine, cost-effective access to space has increased exponentially. Demand, coupled with the growing number of launch vehicle providers, created an opportunity for Spaceflight to assist in identifying, booking and managing rideshare launches.

With a straightforward and cost-effective suite of products and services including state-of-the-art satellite infrastructure, rideshare launch offerings, payload integration and global communications networks, Spaceflight enables commercial, non-profit organizations and government entities to achieve their mission goals – on time and on budget.

Food will be provided.

Organized By: English Language Institute

When you’re trying to figure out just how you want to express a point in your writing, what digital resources can you turn to, in addition to your human collaborators? Sure, dictionaries can be useful, but what if you’re trying to avoid repeating the same word over and over, or trying to see if two words sound right together? In this workshop, we will look how to ask one’s questions about word choices in a range of free language “corpora,” large databases of language as it is actually used. We will focus on corpora that include academic writing in English, but if you also write in other languages, you can apply these strategies to corpora featuring other languages too. If possible, bring a laptop to try out resources on your own device during the workshop.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)

De-centering the Global Middle Ages invites researchers to consider scholarly perspectives of the “global turn” of the premodern world, addressing connectivity and mobility of the globe c. 500-1600 CE. What work does the idea of “the medieval” do, and for whom? What do we gain and what do we lose by insisting on a shared notion of the medieval? By conceiving of a more diverse Middle Ages characterized by mobility and connectedness rather than isolation and limited travel? This symposium will explore what the “medieval” means for scholars of various geographic regions, including Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe in hopes of facilitating a dramatic shift in our visions of what it means to do medieval history, and the meaning of global history more broadly.

Location: West Hall
Organized By: HET Seminars

Dark matter is the dominant source of matter in our Universe. However, while dark matter dictates the evolution of large-scale astrophysical systems through its gravitational effects, the particle nature of dark matter is unknown. This is despite the significant effort that has gone into the search for particle dark matter over the past decades. In this talk I will review the current status of the search for particle dark matter. I will focus specifically on a dark matter particle candidate called the axion, which is both well-motivated theoretically and also relatively unexplored experimentally. I will outline the near-term program for searching for axion dark matter and show that if this theory is correct, then we will probably know soon.

I will discuss how to use neural networks to detect data departures from a given reference model, with no prior bias on the nature of the new physics responsible for the discrepancy. The algorithm that I will describe returns a global p-value that quantifies the tension between the data and the reference model. It also allows to compare directly what the network has learned with the data, giving a fully transparent account of the nature of possible signals. The potential applications are broad, from LHC physics searches to cosmology and beyond.

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. So much Q & A can feel daunting, but can also be fun and interesting to prepare for with other graduate students. 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. If you have a poster presentation coming up, bring a sketch or draft 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.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Comparative Literature

Please see the program below (under "Web and Social") for complete event details.

The 2019 Charles F. Fraker Conference at the University of Michigan will take as its point of departure the complicated interactions of space, place, and mapping, in all of their contexts. This conference hopes to both clarify and complicate the notion of spatiality which arose during what Foucault referred to as the “epoch of space” and has continued to develop after the “spatial turn” in the humanities at the end of the 20th century. Further, we hope with this conference to place a focus on geocriticism, a term developed in part by Robert Tally, Jr., whom we are delighted to welcome as our keynote speaker.

The broad understandings and implications of space do not permit a facile definition nor do they warrant one. Instead of conceptualizing space as a backdrop for historicism, modern critics choose to regard space as an actor with significant agency. The goal of this conference is not to effect a common definition of the complexities of space, but rather to embrace these intricacies through dialogue. As we know, physical space is ubiquitous and, at times, unremarkable or invisible. It can welcome us or alienate us; place us at the center, in the margins, in between, or beyond; facilitate or hinder our movement, choices, and behavior; and influence our very thoughts. It follows that our work is similarly affected by spatial concerns. What can we learn from the spaces created by cultural production?​ ​How does space affect the production of knowledge? How does space relate to power, or to memory, or to narrative?
This year, we welcome panelists from Brown, Concordia (Montréal), CUNY, Emory, Purdue, Rutgers, SUNY–Buffalo, Texas State, UCSB, UAlberta, UChicago, UVirginia, UW–Madison, and UT–Austin, as well as our own University of Michigan. In recent years, papers have been given in different Romance languages as well as in English; 2019 will be no exception as our program includes panelists from across languages and disciplines.

The conference will take place on the 15-16th February 2019 at the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor. On Friday, 15th February, it will be held in the Michigan League, and on Saturday, 16th February, it will be held in the Rackham Graduate School; both buildings are near Ingalls Mall on UM’s Central Campus.

The keynote address will be delivered on Saturday at 5PM in the Rackham Amphitheatre.

4:00 pm Keynote Lecture "Pastoral Power, the Premodern and Pluralist Asian Pasts" by Professor Indrani Chatterjee, Department of History, University of Texas at Austin

The keynote revisits the place of hegemonic households in the exercise of specific aspects of governmentality that are missing from Foucault's discussion of the term.

Professor Chatterjee writes: "I have taught young people in three continents, and over two decades. My teaching interests have evolved to keep pace with my own travels in time. So the courses I have taught include Slavery and South Asian History, the Gender of South Asian pasts, Early Modernity in the subcontinent, and The Power of Performance.

Recently, I find myself drawn simultaneously to both intellectual and economic histories of the subcontinent. In particular, I am interested in the ways in which wealth travelled between and within monastic lineages in the past. Having worked on the ways in which monastic governmentality was forgotten in Indian historiography by the early decades of the twentieth century, I am currently revisiting the costs of such forgetting to women's wealth in eastern India. In brief, I am interested in excavating a new history of wealth."

HET Seminars | Building Bulk Observables in AdS/CFT (February 15, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61036 61036-15024922@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 15, 2019 3:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department of Physics

The AdS/CFT correspondence relates a theory of gravity in anti-de Sitter space to a CFT on the boundary. A natural question is how local fields in AdS can be expressed in terms of the CFT. In the 1/N expansion this can be done by (i) identifying suitable building blocks - free bulk fields - in the CFT, (ii) assembling the building blocks to make interacting bulk fields. I'll present an approach where the first step is carried out using modular flow in the CFT and the second step is driven by requiring bulk causality.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Comparative Literature

Please see the program below (under "Web and Social") for complete event details.

The 2019 Charles F. Fraker Conference at the University of Michigan will take as its point of departure the complicated interactions of space, place, and mapping, in all of their contexts. This conference hopes to both clarify and complicate the notion of spatiality which arose during what Foucault referred to as the “epoch of space” and has continued to develop after the “spatial turn” in the humanities at the end of the 20th century. Further, we hope with this conference to place a focus on geocriticism, a term developed in part by Robert Tally, Jr., whom we are delighted to welcome as our keynote speaker.

The broad understandings and implications of space do not permit a facile definition nor do they warrant one. Instead of conceptualizing space as a backdrop for historicism, modern critics choose to regard space as an actor with significant agency. The goal of this conference is not to effect a common definition of the complexities of space, but rather to embrace these intricacies through dialogue. As we know, physical space is ubiquitous and, at times, unremarkable or invisible. It can welcome us or alienate us; place us at the center, in the margins, in between, or beyond; facilitate or hinder our movement, choices, and behavior; and influence our very thoughts. It follows that our work is similarly affected by spatial concerns. What can we learn from the spaces created by cultural production?​ ​How does space affect the production of knowledge? How does space relate to power, or to memory, or to narrative?
This year, we welcome panelists from Brown, Concordia (Montréal), CUNY, Emory, Purdue, Rutgers, SUNY–Buffalo, Texas State, UCSB, UAlberta, UChicago, UVirginia, UW–Madison, and UT–Austin, as well as our own University of Michigan. In recent years, papers have been given in different Romance languages as well as in English; 2019 will be no exception as our program includes panelists from across languages and disciplines.

The conference will take place on the 15-16th February 2019 at the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor. On Friday, 15th February, it will be held in the Michigan League, and on Saturday, 16th February, it will be held in the Rackham Graduate School; both buildings are near Ingalls Mall on UM’s Central Campus.

The keynote address will be delivered on Saturday at 5PM in the Rackham Amphitheatre.

Organized By: HET Brown Bag Series

In recent years, substantial progresses has been made in understanding and proving a number of energy conditions in quantum field theories (QFTs), which played very important roles for constraining quantum corrections to black hole dynamics in general relativity. In this talk, I will discuss proof of the quantum null energy condition (QNEC), both in holographic CFTs based on AdS/CFT, and in generic CFTs using techniques related to the entanglement structure. Furthermore, I will discuss the connection between the two approaches, and in doing this, deep relations between boundary modular flow and bulk RT surface dynamics will be revealed.

The University of Michigan and the City of Ann Arbor must work together in the pursuit of a clean energy future. This is where we start. Come join the conversation about the future of University of Michigan climate action!

This event is intended to yield specific and direct climate actions items that individuals, groups, and the whole community can take together. This event is taking the place of back-room event planning and allows the entire community to have a voice in dictating the future of climate action on campus and in the city!

The first half an hour of the consists of an expert panel consisting of 3 panelists talking about Ann Arbor Climate Policy, UM Climate Policy, and Environmental Justice. These speakers will talk about their opinions on the direction of climate action and climate policy on the UM campus and in the city of Ann Arbor.

Next, there will be a small group breakout session to allow for individual and small group brainstorming on the direction for AA/UM climate action.

Finally, there will be a whole group/community-wide brain storming session to map everyone's suggestions on the direction of future climate action. This should culminate in specific action items we would all like to get behind and take together as the next step in building the campus climate movement!

Join Us!! Food provided!!

**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**

Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills. The series will be co-hosted/sponsored by TBP and the graduate societies of MSE, ECE, ChE, and MACRO and also sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs! As "learning-by-practice" event, it aims to help students learn how to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience, while also engaging a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering. The event is aimed primarily at graduate students planning to take their candidacy exam, but anyone is welcome to participate! We will host 7-10 events each term, and event dates/times will be announced on a rolling basis.

Each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

If you would like to participate as a speaker/audience, please fill out the links below. We will follow-up with you with scheduling details. NOTE: The event is open to ALL CoE students, regardless of TBP membership status.

We now know that the overwhelming majority of matter throughout our galaxy and the universe is something other than what we are made of. All ordinary matter - gas, dust, stars, planets - is a small fraction of the mass of the universe. We remain profoundly ignorant of what this missing universe is. In this talk, we will describe the range of ideas that have arisen as to what this mysterious stuff might be, where it came from, and how to look for it. We will detail the progress made in the search to understand the nature of dark matter, and what questions this era hopes to answer, including perhaps the central one: what does the dark universe have to do with the one we can see?

ELI Winter Workshop Series: MAKING CONVERSATION WITH POWERFUL PEOPLE (February 21, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59850 59850-15063354@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 21, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: English Language Institute

Making conversation can be one of the most challenging types of speaking to master in a second language. This can be particularly true with people in a position of authority, such as one’s research advisor, work supervisor, or future employer. In this workshop, we will explore conversation topics, turn-taking strategies, active listening, and sources for sample conversations. We will consider different types of conversations, such as seeming friendly and confident at a job interview or competent and insightful in a research group meeting. Come ready to practice with one another and to identify effective ways to practice on your own.

EIHS Symposium: Public Engagements, Digital Tools, Global Contexts: A Roundtable and Discussion (February 22, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57333 57333-14157742@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 22, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Public scholarship takes on different forms depending on the tools, communities, topics, and time periods with which we engage. During this roundtable discussion, a group of scholar-practitioners will cover a variety of approaches: digital projects looking at mobility in twentieth-century Accra, Ghana; explorations of the legacies of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment; oral histories with Iranian Americans; and museum collaborations aiming to build local community and dispel stereotypes about Arab Americans. Using their own public and digital work as a starting point, the goal of the session is to spark conversations regarding the best principles, challenges, and rewards of doing publicly engaged scholarship within a global frame and across time periods. Presented in partnership with the Rackham Program in Public Scholarship.

Featuring:
Camron Amin (University of Michigan Dearborn)
Valentina Denzel (Michigan State University)
Jennifer Hart (Wayne State University)
Matthew Stiffler (Arab American National Museum)
Matthew Villeneuve (chair; University of Michigan)

Camron Michael Amin joined the faculty at the University of Michigan-Dearborn in 1997. He currently serves as the history discipline representative, coordinator of the Middle East Studies Certificate Program, CASL representative to the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Governing Board, principal investigator for the Michigan Iranian American Oral History Project, and program chair for the 2018 Association for Iranian Studies Conference. He is currently president of the Association for Iranian Studies.

Valentina Denzel received her doctoral degree at Paris Diderot University (Paris 7) in comparative literature. Her primary field of research is seventeenth- and eighteenth-century French literature. In her book Les mille et un visages de la virago. Marfisa et Bradamante entre continuation et variation, Garnier Classique 2016, she analyzes the evolution of the representation of the woman warrior in French and Italian literatures from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment by taking into consideration the political and historical context of this evolution and the symbolic value of the woman warrior in each specific time period. Her interest in gender identities, sexual orientation, and transgression of gender roles led her to study more in detail the philosophical and literary movement of eighteenth-century French libertinism that challenged intellectually and morally the normative thinking propagated by the Church. The work of the Marquis de Sade is a case in point, since he promotes gender identities that do not inscribe themselves into the binary system of female and male, but complicate concepts of sex, gender, and sexual orientation that are linked to transgressive power relations between his protagonists. Valentina’s second book project analyzes the representation of violence, gender, and pornography in Sade’s oeuvres, and its link to his own time period, as well as his legacy in popular cultures. More specifically, she will examine the Marquis de Sade’s impact on the punk and post-punk movements, as well as on punk-porn feminism and comic books.

Jennifer Hart is an associate professor of History at Wayne State University. A historian of Africa, her work focuses primarily on the history of technology and urban space in Ghana. She is the author of Ghana on the Go: African Mobility in the Age of Motor Transportation (Indiana University Press, 2016), which was a 2017 finalist for the Herskovits Prize. Her work has been published in the International Review of Social History, International Journal of African Historical Studies, and African Economic History. Since 2016, Dr. Hart has been involved in shaping the emerging field of History Communications, developing curriculum at the university and national level to help students build skills to translate historical research for public audiences on a number of media platforms. This work grows out of her own public-facing scholarship, writing on her own blog (www.ghanaonthego.com) and Africa is a Country, collaborating with photographers Nana Osei Kwadwo and Nii Odzenma on the Instagram-imbedded art project This Trotro Life (@thistrotrolife), directing the digital humanities project Accra Wala, and maintaining an active social media presence (@detroittoaccra). She currently teaches courses in African history, history communications, digital history, and digital humanities at Wayne State.

Matthew Jaber Stiffler is the research and content manager at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, where he works with museum staff to accurately represent the diverse Arab American community through the museum’s collections, exhibits, and educational programming. Matthew has developed the museum’s food-based programming, particularly the Yalla Eat! Culinary Walking Tours. Matthew also leads a national research initiative through ACCESS, the largest Arab American non-profit in the country, to secure better data about the Arab American community. Matthew received his PhD in American Culture from the University of Michigan in 2010, where he serves as a lecturer in Arab and Muslim American Studies. He is currently a board member and treasurer of the Arab American Studies Association.

This event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
