Understanding Osteoarthritis Pathogenesis using high throughput omic approaches. (January 18, 2024 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/116439 116439-21836824@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 18, 2024 12:00pm
Location: Dental & W.K. Kellogg Institute
Organized By: Office of Research School of Dentistry

Osteoarthritis (OA) is among the most prevalent chronic human health disorders and the most common form of
arthritis. Specific mechanisms associated with the joint destruction during OA are largely unknown. Due to the
lack of biomarkers, it is impossible to identify patients exhibiting early stages of OA, leading to severe joint
destruction. Furthermore, due to poor understanding of the underlying disease mechanisms, no approved
disease-modifying therapies to treat OA exist. Therefore, early detection and early intervention is critical to
restore joint functions.
My translational research program is directed towards:
(1) Understanding the complex cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with joint destruction during
osteoarthritis
(2) Identifying reliable biomarkers for early identification of patients with osteoarthritis to enable early
intervention using our large-scale OA biobank that we have created (over 150,000 banked specimens)
(3) Identifying novel therapeutic targets to stop/delay osteoarthritis and restore joint function

In the months and years to come, the utility industry should anticipate an increasing number of regulatory commissions to begin ruling on third-party access to utility data. Several state orders are currently examining the implications of making utility data more accessible to third parties and customers. Some states are going further and broadening the data pool to include more than just customer-metered end-use data. Whichever position a state may take in democratizing its data, it should do so in a way which will encourage customer adoption and improve the marketing and sales of distributed energy resources (DER) and other energy solutions to help states reach their net-zero carbon goals. A result of democratizing the grid utility data will open new markets and accelerate innovations that will help states achieve their carbon reduction goals.

Environmental Sustainability and Resiliency in Nuclear Energy—Let’s talk about waste and accidents (January 26, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/116705 116705-21837834@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 26, 2024 4:00pm

Organized By: Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences

Environmental concerns have been a major hurdle to expanding the use of nuclear energy. More than ten states have laws to restrict new construction of nuclear reactors until a spent fuel disposal plan is developed. In parallel, the public perception has been significantly impacted by several high-profile accidents, as well as contaminations at former nuclear weapon production sites in the US. On the other hand, nuclear communities have been pioneering environmental science and technologies, establishing environmental impact assessment methodologies, waste isolation technologies, and waste/effluent regulations. Nuclear waste management is in stark contrast to the other industries that tend to rely on a ‘dilution-is-the-solution’ approach, which has resulted in wide-spread contaminations globally.

This presentation provides the environmental science perspective of nuclear energy with a particular focus on waste management and accidents. I will first talk about the historical overview of waste management, including past contaminations and the comparison with general hazardous waste. I will then present the multi-disciplinary synthesis of the Fukushima Nuclear Power plant accident with a particular focus on the key factors that exacerbated the consequence. Finally, I will discuss the potential applications of environmental science and technologies – though informing the public and empowering communities – toward more sustainable and resilient nuclear energy.

Stuart Batterman (Environmental Health Sciences) and Simone Sagovac (Southwest Detroit Environmental Vision) will discuss the local impact of fugitive dust on air quality. Moderated by Natalie Sampson (University of Michigan Dearborn).

What is fugitive dust: it's when significant atmospheric dust arises from the mechanical disturbance of granular material exposed to the air. Dust generated from these open sources is termed "fugitive" because it is not discharged to the atmosphere in a confined flow stream. Common sources of fugitive dust include unpaved roads, agricultural tilling operations, aggregate storage piles, and heavy construction operations.

Finn Larsen is a theoretical physicist whose long-term research interest is on foundational questions like the beginning of the Universe, and the interior of black holes. In this research area, progress is made by studying simple theoretical models in detail, understanding their principles, and drawing lessons about the structure of space and time. The language of quantum computing and quantum information has proven indispensable for these studies and, by now, there is a fruitful interchange of ideas between these very different research areas.

This talk will focus on ideas in quantum computing, like entanglement and quantum error correction, concluding with how these ideas enter the modern understanding of space and time.

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

"All in Your Head” is a four-movement multimodal work that explores the trial-and-error mental health treatment system, the science of depression, and the inner landscapes of the brain – with visual art, dance, and live improvisation and composition. Flipping the idea that mental illness is “all in your head,” because that is exactly where we need to look: into the individual’s brain chemistry, circuitry, and holistic life experience: a patient's unique world that calls for unique treatment approaches.

Think: sonic representations of neural communication, brain scans as graphic scores for real-time improvisation, dance to mirror the experience of the trial-and-error treatment system, and more.

Tune in after the premiere for a panel discussion with leading researchers in precision medicine, neuroarts, the science of depression, and stigma.

I lead a group 8 scientists in the Skeletal/Connective Tissue Diseases Therapeutic Focus Area at Regeneron. Using Velocimmune mice and other antibody technologies my team develops reagents and bioassays for the screening and selection of therapeutic antibodies and other engineered biomolecules. We also leverage human genetics for target discovery by functionally model disease associated variants in vitro and in vivo. Our work to understand the molecular mechanism of ACVR1 mutations in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) demonstrated that Activin A is both a necessary and sufficient driver of Heterotopic ossification in FOP using an anti-Activin A blocking antibody prevented heterotopic bone formation in a ‘genetically accurate’ mouse model of FOP. Regeneron has completed Phase II trials and is in Phase I studies in FOP.

Jennifer Dominique Jones, Assistant Professor of History & Women's and Gender Studies 
Ava Purkiss, Assistant Professor of American Culture & Women's and Gender Studies
Sara McClelland, Associate Professor of Psychology & Women's and Gender Studies

Description:
In this interdisciplinary historical study, Jennifer Dominique Jones reveals the underexamined origins of comparisons between Black and LGBT political constituencies in the modern civil rights movement and white supremacist backlash. Foregrounding an intersectional framing of postwar political histories, Jones demonstrates how the shared non-normative status of Blackness and homosexuality facilitated comparisons between subjects and political visions associated with both. Drawing upon organizational records, manuscript collections, newspaper accounts, and visual and textual ephemera, this study traces a long, conflicting relationship between Black and LGBT political identities that continues to the present day.
This event is part of IRWG’s Gender: New Works, New Questions series, which spotlights new books by our faculty. This event will be presented in-person and include a raffle for in-person attendees to win a free copy of the book!

Public Lecture: "‘Less Hackneyed than the Jew or the Gypsy’: The Cagot, Whiteness, and Reverse Passing on the Victorian Stage" (February 15, 2024 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/116954 116954-21838233@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 15, 2024 5:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Nineteenth Century Forum

Ronjaunee Chatterjee, Alicia Mireles Christoff, and Amy R. Wong have argued that despite the fact that the nineteenth-century British studies represents “a period and geographical center that consolidated a modern idea of race” Victorian studies ironically “lacks a robust account of race and racialization” (370). This paper turns to the immensely popular representation of liminal and illegible racial bodies on the Victorian stage as a way of complicating our understanding of Victorian theories of “race and racialization.” While, as Daniel Hack and others have pointed out, the Victorians were interested in plots of “unwitting passing and discovered identity,” a number of popular operas and plays in the 1840s and 50s focused on reverse passing. Rather than expose an invisible blackness as many (conscious or unconscious) passing plays, these plays and operas expose a hidden and invisible *whiteness*. I focus on Edmund Falconer’s *The Cagot: Or, Heart to Heart* (1856) which centers on an ethnic group of unknown origin, unclear history, and ambiguous race found in the Pyrenees, on the west-coast of France and in the Basque region of Spain. At the same time, the Cagots were characterized by an *excessive* whiteness. Rather than simply dramatize the failure to identify a core racial ‘essence’ (whether black or white) invisible on the surface of the body or on stage, *The Cagot* at once asks audiences to see whiteness as a form of racial difference while also undermining a theory of racial embodiment based on differences in skin color (visible or invisible). In the end, it argues for a form of racial difference and familial affiliation that are not only performative but voluntary. Taken together, these popular plays suggest that the Victorians were drawn to representations of the instability of the very racial structures that the they are credited with creating and maintaining.

Organized By: Museum Studies Program

As museums grapple with the complexity of a social, political and economic change in the communities they serve, visionary leadership of these institutions becomes critically important. While there are many approaches to how such leadership is defined and achieved, in its most fundamental terms, it begins with a keen understanding of why an individual has chosen the museum field as their life’s work in the first place. In this talk, Barclay explores the relationship between personal vision and institutional vision and how the two define the most successful leaders working today.

Recent Developments and Open Problems in Post-Linkage Data Analysis

Record linkage and subsequent data analysis of the linked file with suitable propagation of uncertainty can be performed if the analyst also happens to be the linker or at least has comprehensive information about how the data were linked. However, it is rather common that the two processes are considered in a separate fashion, with the analyst being handed a linked file that is possibly subject to substantial linkage error (false matches and missed matches). Ignoring such error can render statistical analysis invalid. At the same time, accounting for linkage error with limited information about the linkage process poses a variety of challenges. This talk will outline a framework based on a mixture model for addressing mismatch error in the secondary analysis of linked files. Its use will be demonstrated in several case studies. Finally, we will present recent extensions, future directions and open problems.

Martin Slawski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics at George
Mason University. His research on data analysis after record linkage is currently
supported by NSF. His research interests concern topics in computational statistics and applications in various domains. He serves as an associate editor of the Electronic Journal of Statistics. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Saarland University, Germany, and was a postdoctoral associate in Statistics and Computer
Science at Rutgers University prior to joining his current institution.

About: Open Science is a movement to make scientific research accessible to all levels of society. Proponents identify barriers that impede or dissuade the broad dissemination of scientific data and how these differ across disciplines. Solutions proposed by open science proponents aim to improve rigor and reproducibility in research. These solutions include study pre-registration, data sharing and archiving, open-access publishing, universities and publishers incentivizing replication studies, and authors posting pre-print articles online. In this joint MIDAS-ICPSR Data Science and AI Research mini-symposium, we bring together representatives from Open Science initiatives and academia to discuss how open science solutions work across disciplines. The result will be a workshop, opportunities for 1:1 discussion with presenters, and potential opportunities for U-M faculty, staff, and students to shape the future of open science. We will focus on the social and behavioral sciences but solicit lessons learned from other disciplines, such as engineering and medicine.

Feb. 22, 9am-3pm: Open science workshop, open to the public
Feb. 23 (time TBA): Follow-up meetings from workshop, open to U-M faculty, staff, students, and invited speakers.

An Irish proverb says, “A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.”

How true that is! Sleep plays a vital role in both your physical and mental well-being. Just ask Dr. Ravi Allada, the new director of the Michigan Neuroscience Institute (MNI), whose research focus is the science of sleep and circadian rhythms.

Dr. Eva Feldman sits down with him to discuss why we sleep and how it is actually driven by our internal clocks. They also delve into his work studying the effect of jetlag on mental and physical performance and his vision for a new era of collaborative neuroscience research across U-M through the MNI.

Afterward, they will be joined by sleep guru (featured in The New York Times, Bloomberg, Time, and many others) Cathy Goldstein, MD, of the University of Michigan’s Sleep Disorders Clinic for a live Q&A.

You might, quite literally, lose sleep if you miss this one!
Don’t forget to submit questions for the live Q&A when you register.

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

The Manuscript Studies Interest Group aims to bring together faculty, graduate students, librarians/curators, fellows/visiting scholars, and anyone else at U-M interested in manuscript studies or engaged in research on manuscripts. Manuscript cultures are central to premodern societies. Different manuscript formats and material substrates connect texts, images, languages, reading practices, and ritual performances, which in a university setting are often split across multiple departments and fields. Having this broad framework will enable the interest group to explore collaboration across disciplines and facilitate research among different manuscript traditions through an object-centered approach.

In monthly meetings during the Fall and Winter terms, participants will present on current research interests as well as give more general overviews of particular manuscript cultures for informal discussion and exchange. They will also occasionally discuss key readings which have shaped manuscript studies in specific areas or in broader ways. In addition, the interest group hopes to be able to explore manuscript collections in person together, both in and around Ann Arbor as well as further afield. Inviting an external speaker once a year (potentially funded through the History of Art Department) would be a great way to connect the interest group with scholars beyond U-M.

Bitexts in Glocal Perspective: Towards an Intellectual History of Buddhist Translation in Early Modern Southeast Asia (March 4, 2024 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/119345 119345-21842591@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 4, 2024 2:30pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Asian Languages and Cultures

Between the late fifteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Southeast Asian intellectuals produced an enormous quantity of bilingual compositions, or bitexts, that combine passages in Sanskrit or Pali with glosses into a local vernacular, be it Burmese, Khmer, Lao, Thai, or a host of lesser-known languages. Drawing on examples from throughout the region, this talk shows how the influence of these bitexts extended well beyond the Buddhist sphere, shaping the study of grammar, literature, and the sciences across early modern Southeast Asia. Bitexts not only facilitated the study of South Asian thought, but built a platform for Southeast Asians to compose in a fresh, cosmopolitan idiom that afforded the circulation of ideas across a diverse set of vernacular tongues. Taking a glocal perspective—at the intersection of local and global forces—on these modes of reading, writing, and performance allows us to appreciate how Southeast Asian intellectuals made a distinct and enduring contribution to the history of translation.

Death and Its Afterlives: De/composing Boundaries
28th Annual CLIFF Conference
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
March 8-9, 2024
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Luciana Chamorro, Department of Anthropology, University of Michigan

Full schedule and abstract descriptions linked here: https://lsa.umich.edu/complit/news-events/all-news/search-news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-year-s-cliff.html

From necropolitics to ecological decline, from digital dead links to haunted sites, from the material ruins of late capitalism to the allegorical decay of “late style,” this year’s CLIFF conference seeks to de/compose the boundaries between the living and the dead. We hope to bring together a diverse set of critical interests and disciplines on a terrain where death and precarious (after)lives lay bare the politics of exclusion, the erosion of memory, and the ethical responsibilities that confront us in the face of current crises. Our graduate student-organized conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogues; we welcome researchers, independent scholars, and artists to join us in exploring death, rebirth, and the in-between.

For our 28th annual conference, the Comparative Literature Intra-student Faculty Forum (CLIFF) invites 15 minute presentations based in literary analysis, critical theory, history, politics, anthropology, translation studies, and interdisciplinary work. These presentations may take the form of academic papers, creative work, performance, and/or visual media.

We are very pleased to announce that this year’s keynote speaker will be Dr. Luciana Chamorro, professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. Dr. Chamorro is a socio-cultural anthropologist studying revolution and its afterlives in the Central American region and its diasporas. Her work includes research on political revolution and violence, desire and affect, generational difference, states of exception, and feminist and queer imaginaries of the future.

If you are planning to attend this event and need accommodations, please notify the organizers by February 22, 2024, so that proper arrangements can be made. The organizers can be contacted at cliff.complit@umich.edu.

Our conference is entirely organized by graduate students in the University of Michigan's Department of Comparative Literature. This year's organizing members are Arianna Afsari, CC Barrick, Delsa Lopez, and Sanjana Ramanathan.

Latinx Research Week 2024 (March 11, 2024 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119599 119599-21843054@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 11, 2024 12:00am
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Puentes

Puentes is excited about its upcoming Latinx Research Week (LRW). Latinx Research Week is an interdisciplinary, conference-style series of events that we host annually on campus to uplift research being conducted by Latinx staff, faculty, and students, as well as research relevant to Latinx populations. This year Latinx Research Week will be held on March 11th - 14th in the Michigan Union. In 2023, we were thrilled to host 16 research sessions, allocate space for over 70 presenters, and welcome over 300 attendees across our events. We hope to see an even greater turn out this year.

he theme for Latinx Research Week 2024 is Illuminating Familismo. Familismo is a psychological construct as well as a protective Latinx cultural value that emphasizes the importance of family support, loyalty, and honor. Through our interdisciplinary program, we hope attendees will reflect on, interrogate, and reimagine how the academy can be transformed to acknowledge, welcome, and illuminate both our biological and chosen familial relationships. In past years, we have seen spouses, partners, siblings, parents, children, and members of the larger Latinx community attend Latinx Research Week in support of their presenting family members, thus reimagining what an academic conference could and should look like. Additionally, we have seen other families in attendance: families of co-workers, cohort-mates, best friends, and lab families to name a few. We recognize that many members of the Puentes familia may be far from home but have still chosen to plant roots here and create meaningful communities of chosen family members at UM. We hope that our curated program will illuminate the importance of familismo and encourage attendees to imagine how we can transform academic spaces into more inclusive spaces that honor our families, chosen or otherwise, and the ways they have supported our academic journeys. Latinx Research Week 2024: Illuminating Familiso highlights the many ways our families motivate, inspire, encourage, humanize, and uplift us as we conduct groundbreaking work in our respective fields.

Location: LSA Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Join this session to learn more about generative AI tools for working with text data, including creating and analyzing data from a variety of sources; and discussion of benefits, capabilities, and challenges including how to assess bias. Hands-on exercises will focus on real-world examples using text data.

Instructor Dr. Mark Hansen was the inaugural director for the David and Helen Gurley Brown Institute of Media Innovation and is a data scientist at Columbia University working at the intersection of data, art and technology. His work has appeared in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitney Museum, and the lobby of the New York Times.

About the series: Generative AI is revolutionizing the landscape of research by enabling unprecedented levels of automation and innovation, and facilitating major breakthroughs across all research fields. To leverage this, MIDAS and the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts are co-hosting a series of tutorials on Generative AI during the Winter ’24 semester.

If you are a U-M researcher looking to learn more about when, why, and how to integrate Generative AI tools into your research, join us for our upcoming sessions. We cover topics ranging from administrative tasks, literature review and synthesis, data analysis, and writing and presentations. No prior experience with Generative AI tools is required. Participants will need to supply their own laptop for each session.

Location: all sessions will be held in-person. We are not able to offer live-streaming for this series. Recordings and materials will be posted to the event page after each session.

“Camera as a Passport” Photography Exhibit Opening + Curator Panel (March 11, 2024 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/119159 119159-21842282@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 11, 2024 3:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Judaic Studies

Join us to celebrate this exhibit's grand opening on March 11 at 3:30 pm in Weiser Hall Room 547 on the University of Michigan's Central Campus!

Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power, a cadre of European Jews—German, Polish, Hungarian, Austrian, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer, journalist, painter, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have the means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.

They did, however, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.

Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille, France on May 7, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary, Belgium, France, and Germany: Ilse Bing, Josef Breitenbach, Boris Lipnitsky, Charles Leirens, Yolla Niclas, Fred Stein, Monie Tannen, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.

This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world, seeing it through European eyes.

"Camera as a Passport" is open for public viewing from 8 am - 5 pm, Monday through Friday. The University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts greatly values inclusion and access for all. We are pleased to provide reasonable accommodations to enable full participation in this event.

Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Puentes

Puentes is excited about its upcoming Latinx Research Week (LRW). Latinx Research Week is an interdisciplinary, conference-style series of events that we host annually on campus to uplift research being conducted by Latinx staff, faculty, and students, as well as research relevant to Latinx populations. This year Latinx Research Week will be held on March 11th - 14th in the Michigan Union. In 2023, we were thrilled to host 16 research sessions, allocate space for over 70 presenters, and welcome over 300 attendees across our events. We hope to see an even greater turn out this year.

he theme for Latinx Research Week 2024 is Illuminating Familismo. Familismo is a psychological construct as well as a protective Latinx cultural value that emphasizes the importance of family support, loyalty, and honor. Through our interdisciplinary program, we hope attendees will reflect on, interrogate, and reimagine how the academy can be transformed to acknowledge, welcome, and illuminate both our biological and chosen familial relationships. In past years, we have seen spouses, partners, siblings, parents, children, and members of the larger Latinx community attend Latinx Research Week in support of their presenting family members, thus reimagining what an academic conference could and should look like. Additionally, we have seen other families in attendance: families of co-workers, cohort-mates, best friends, and lab families to name a few. We recognize that many members of the Puentes familia may be far from home but have still chosen to plant roots here and create meaningful communities of chosen family members at UM. We hope that our curated program will illuminate the importance of familismo and encourage attendees to imagine how we can transform academic spaces into more inclusive spaces that honor our families, chosen or otherwise, and the ways they have supported our academic journeys. Latinx Research Week 2024: Illuminating Familiso highlights the many ways our families motivate, inspire, encourage, humanize, and uplift us as we conduct groundbreaking work in our respective fields.

When “representative” surveys fail: Can a non-ignorable missingness mechanism explain bias in estimates of COVID-19 vaccine uptake?

Recently, attention was drawn to the failure of two very large internet-based probability surveys to correctly estimate COVID-19 vaccine uptake in the U.S. in early 2021. Both the Delphi-Facebook COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey (CTIS) and Census Household Pulse Survey (HPS) overestimated vaccine uptake substantially (14 and 17 points in May 2021) compared to retroactively available CDC benchmark data. These surveys had large numbers of respondents but very low response rates (<10%), and thus non-ignorable nonresponse could have substantially impacted estimates. Specifically, it is plausible that “anti-vaccine” individuals were less likely to complete a survey about COVID-19; we might also hypothesize that “anti-vaccine” individuals could be suspicious of the government and thus less likely to respond to an official government-sponsored survey. In this talk we use proxy pattern-mixture models (PPMMs) to retrospectively estimate the proportion of adults (18+) who received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, using data from the CTIS and HPS, under a non-ignorable nonresponse assumption. We compare these estimates to the true benchmark uptake numbers and show that the PPMM could have detected the direction of the bias and have provided meaningful bias bounds. We also use the PPMM to estimate vaccine hesitancy, a measure without a benchmark truth, and compare to the direct survey estimates. We conclude with discussion of how the PPMM could be prospectively as part of an assessment of nonresponse and/or selection bias, factors that would facilitate such analyses in the future, and ongoing work to extend the PPMM to novel areas.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

This talk challenges images of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego as idyllic, wild places by revealing how the exploitation of animals was central to the regions’ transformation from Indigenous lands into the national territories of Argentina and Chile. 

Drawing on evidence from archives and digital repositories, historian John Soluri traces the nineteenth- and twentieth-century circulation of furs and fibers to explore how the power of capitalist fashion stretched far beyond Europe’s houses of haute couture to entangle the fates of Indigenous hunters, migrant workers, textile manufacturers with those of fur seals, guanacos, and sheep at the “end of the world.”

Carnegie Mellon University history professor John Soluri's teaching and research uses transboundary approaches to understand social and environmental change in Latin America and beyond. A founding member of the Society for Latin American and Caribbean Environmental History (SOLCHA), his writing focuses on Central and South America. He is the author of "Creatures of Fashion: Animals, Global Markets, and the Transformation of Patagonia" (2024) and "Banana Cultures: Agriculture, Consumption, and Environmental Change in Honduras and the United States" (revised ed., 2021).

This lecture is sponsored by the Aiton Lecture Committee in collaboration with the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Ni une más (March 15, 2024 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/118552 118552-21841206@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 15, 2024 7:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

A trailblazing world premiere production, *Ni une más* braids music, theatre, and dance to tell survivors’ stories of growing agency. From the tender “Te recuerdo” (I remember you) to the rumbling subway sounds of “Metro Asfixia;” from the ironic rap, “This Doesn’t Happen at Michigan,” to the foot-stomping chorus, “It’s Not My Fault,” this audience-engaging production is both mesmerizing and memorable.

Our production team – led by GRAMMY-nominated artistic director and composer Pamela Ruiter-Feenstra with award-winning journalists Ana Ávila and María Arce, and athlete Tad DeLuca – co-created new material for *Ni une más* with survivors. The title is based on a slogan used in many Latin American countries to stand up to domestic violence and femicide. As gender-based violence is a local and global health crisis, we move this often-silenced topic to the spotlight to transform trauma into healing power through the arts.

*Ni une más* was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan, and is co-sponsored by the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion; the School of Music, Theatre & Dance’s Research Catalyst and Innovation Grant; The Institute for Research on Women and Gender; the CEW+ Frances & Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund; Communications & Media; Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center; Sociology; Bethlehem United Church of Christ; and Avalon Healing Center (Detroit).

The future of discovery in the age of human-AI collaboration (March 18, 2024 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115761 115761-21835473@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 18, 2024 8:30am
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

What does an AI-driven future look like?

Overview: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming every aspect of our society and revolutionizing academic research. Powerful new systems like Generative AI unlocks enormous potential to accelerate research, “mass produce” human knowledge, and enable humans to address previously unfathomable scientific questions and engineering challenges. Meanwhile, such potential is still largely speculative and initial successes are still limited in scope. Massive adoption of AI in science and engineering will be possible only after addressing numerous issues, and building infrastructure and capacity.

In this symposium, we bring together leading thinkers and researchers around the country to share their vision and work, in four themes.

1) Speeding Up Research – using AI to automate and accelerate research, such as experimental design optimization and accelerating the workflow.

2) The Nature of Creativity in Research – the role of the AI Researcher and the new role of the Human Researcher.

3) Trusting the AI Researcher – Upholding research rigor in AI-driven research and ensuring the validation of AI-driven discoveries, and aligning AI-driven discoveries with human values.

4) Expanding the Limit of the Human Researcher– using AI to ask previously unfathomable questions in a number of research fields.

The intended audience are researchers, trainees and the general public to this event regardless of the specific fields of their research and the focus of their intellectual pursuit.

Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

WE START WITH THE THINGS WE FIND: a LOT-EK film screening and talk-back event with director Thomas Piper and designers Ada Tolla and Giuseppe Lignano.

Look at things differently. LOT-EK’s inspirational art and architectural work reconsiders our modern economy through the icon of globalization, the shipping container.

If we pay enough attention to the ordinary, we see the extraordinary. The shipping container is an accidental icon of our modern age: the eight-foot-by-forty-foot corrugated steel box that brings the world to our doorstep. It brings all our hearts’ desires’, available for purchase. And it brings us complicity in the global supply chains, and all the economic, ecological, technological, and political systems that forge those chains, as those great container ships link maker and user, buyer and seller, China and America together across the vast distances of the lawless sea. The design studio LOT-EK is a visionary practice at the intersection of art and architecture, that specializes in upcycling, which is the art and science of repurposing, remaking, rethinking, reimagining. Of using old things in new ways. The shipping container is the thing that has captured their imagination for over a quarter-century: they have remade containers into homes, schools, galleries, libraries, and more. With hundreds of millions of obsolete and unused containers around the world, this is a new and necessary architecture of the future, that repairs and regenerates the unnatural environment that we have inherited from the past.

WE START WITH THE THINGS WE FIND is a feature-length documentary of this vision, and of the soulful lifelong partnership of the people, designers Ada Tolla and Giuseppe Lignano, behind it. WE START WITH THE THINGS WE FIND shows us a way to be radically optimistic, creative, and construc-tive during times that can feel the opposite of all that. Director Thomas Piper’s acclaimed documentary feature Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf showed how wild and unfavored plants could encourage audiences to live more responsibly with nature, and now he looks at living more smartly and sweetly with the effects of industry, infrastructure, and technology. Taking us from spark-filled workshops to a container ship sea voyage over a shimmering sea; and explaining all the prosaic and poetic design thinking behind how LOT-EK brings the container to life, the film shows how all we have can become all we need, how resourceful subsistence can feel like beautiful abundance, and how to keep going when we now know there is no such thing as a fresh start. The film is a humanist essay not only about a new kind of design thinking, but about a new design for life.

Manuscript Studies Interest Group (March 21, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/116754 116754-21837902@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 21, 2024 4:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)

The Manuscript Studies Interest Group aims to bring together faculty, graduate students, librarians/curators, fellows/visiting scholars, and anyone else at U-M interested in manuscript studies or engaged in research on manuscripts. Manuscript cultures are central to premodern societies. Different manuscript formats and material substrates connect texts, images, languages, reading practices, and ritual performances, which in a university setting are often split across multiple departments and fields. Having this broad framework will enable the interest group to explore collaboration across disciplines and facilitate research among different manuscript traditions through an object-centered approach.

In monthly meetings during the Fall and Winter terms, participants will present on current research interests as well as give more general overviews of particular manuscript cultures for informal discussion and exchange. They will also occasionally discuss key readings which have shaped manuscript studies in specific areas or in broader ways. In addition, the interest group hopes to be able to explore manuscript collections in person together, both in and around Ann Arbor as well as further afield. Inviting an external speaker once a year (potentially funded through the History of Art Department) would be a great way to connect the interest group with scholars beyond U-M.

Organized by Tina Bawden (History of Art) and Trent Walker (Asian Languages & Cultures)

Leveraging AI for Survey Research

This presentation scrutinizes the transformative potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in survey research, focusing on three critical areas: questionnaire design, synthetic data creation, and the role of LLMs as qualitative interviewers. In the domain of questionnaire design, the lecture delves into if and how LLMs can construct contextually accurate and highly effective survey items. However, there are valid concerns about the model’s understanding and potential biases, which we will critically evaluate. She also discusses LLMs’ ability to fabricate synthetic data, preserving core statistical properties whilst ensuring privacy. Here too, the ethical implications and the potential for misuse of this capability pose challenges that need to be addressed. Lastly, the lecture explores how LLMs, with their human-like conversational ability, can act as qualitative interviewers, allowing in-depth information gathering at scale. Yet, questions about their ability to fully capture the complexity and subtleties of human interaction and response also remain. The underlying theme of this talk is the question on how research in this space should be structured.

Event Description:

The DISCO Summit is a two-day interdisciplinary summer symposium about digital social inequalities in celebration of the third year of the DISCO Network. The DISCO Summit will include nine panel conversations about the past, present, and future of the intersection between digital technology, culture, race, disability, gender, sexuality, and liberation.

The DISCO Network is a collaborative, intergenerational group of scholars dedicated to envisioning a new anti-racist and anti-ableist digital future. The DISCO Network comprises six labs across five universities: the Michigan Hub at the University of Michigan Digital Studies Institute (PI: Lisa Nakamura, University of Michigan), HAT Lab (PI: Rayvon Fouché; Northwestern University), DAF Lab (PI: M. Remi Yergeau, University of Michigan), Future Histories Studio (PI: Stephanie Dinkins, Stony Brook University), PREACH Lab (André Brock, Georgia Institute of Technology), and BCaT Lab (Catherine Knight Steele, University of Maryland-College Park). The DISCO Network is supported by the Mellon Foundation.

This event is free and open to the public. The DISCO Summit provides a platform for scholars, students, artists, practitioners, activists, and community members to convene and engage in dialogue about racial inequality, histories of exclusion, disability justice, techno-ableism, and digital racial politics within the academy, the technology industry, and beyond. We especially welcome individuals whose interests lie in the intersection of the digital and identity and have found difficulties pursuing their endeavors at their home institutions.

Event Schedule:

Day 1: Friday, June 14, 2024

9:00 am - 10:15 am
Digital Optimism with Lisa Nakamura, Rayvon Fouché, Stephanie Dinkins, André Brock, Remi Yergeau, and Catherine Knight Steele
Optimism is the belief that the interval between the now and liberation is where we can act. Digital optimism is the recognition that there are elements of life that vivify and energize in the here and the now, despite and amidst the digital purgatories that we endure. Sometimes that energy is found in stillness; sometimes in refusal; and sometimes in moments of catharsis or joy. This panel will explore the concept of digital optimism as it appears in DISCO’s collaborative writing and work together.

10:30 am - 11:45 am
Digital Frictions with Remi Yergeau, David Adelman, Jeff Nagy, Aimi Hamraie, Jaipreet Virdi, and Mara Mills
In their manifesto on crip technoscience, Kelly Fritsch and Aimi Hamraie (2019) impress upon us that access production is a “frictional process,” one that requires “acknowledging that science and technology can be used to both produce and dismantle injustice.” This roundtable explores the frictional intimacies, practices, and material conditions of what it means to do the digital. In particular, panelists will consider myriad ways in which accessibility holds the potential to burn, grate, spark, and tug at new imaginings of crip futures.

1:00 pm - 2:15 pm
Digital Black Feminist Pleasure and Pain Online with Catherine Knight Steele, Rianna Walcott, Francesca Sobande, and Kishonna Gray
The experiences of Black women online serve as a harbinger of what digital culture affords and what is to come. This panel thinks through the relationship between pleasure and pain in the online lives of Black women and how Black feminist methods, epistemologies, and strategies may point us toward a better digital future for us all.

2:30 pm - 3:45 pm
Little Memes: Storying Race, Gender, and Disability in the Digital Studies Classroom with Remi Yergeau, Huan He, and Toni Bushner
How do students’ stories about themselves or others—their anecdotal relations—inform their burgeoning understandings of digital inequality and related concepts? In this session, we reflect on student interviews and instructor experiences drawn from a study of five U-M Digital Studies classes focused on race and disability.

4:00 pm - 5:15 pm
Black Digital Optimism in an Age of Despair with André Brock, Kevin Winstead, Brandy Pettijohn, Apryl Williams, and Ngozi Harrison
This panel will discuss what social media activity looks like for Black folk at a time when economic disparity, geopolitical extremism, and the ongoing pandemic loom behind every post, tweet, video, and podcast.

Day 2: Saturday, June 15, 2024

9:00 am - 10:15 am
Black Innovation with Rayvon Fouché, Aaron Dial, Ron Eglash, Michael Bennett, Aria Halliday, and Tonia Sutherland
Black folks have a tradition of being innovative in ways not understood and expected by traditional markets, dominant cultural formations, or information platforms. As the world is enamored, fascinated, enraptured, troubled, or simply confused by the potentiality of generative AI, is there a place and a role for Blackness to participate, contribute, or intervene in this next technoscientific atmospheric river? What will Black innovation and creativity look like in a world propelled by a network of AI trained on past utterances that did not see Blackness as meaningful? How can Blackness and Black innovation and creativity disrupt expected technoscientific futures?

10:30 am - 11:45 am
Digital Possibilities with Stephanie Dinkins, Hagar Masoud, Ria Rajan, Cezanne Charles, and Audrey Bennet
"Digital Possibilities" presents an intergenerational panel of arts practitioners who explore the critical role deliberate exploration and practical research play in understanding and shaping digital technologies and culture. The panel showcases the transformative power deeply engaging digital technologies can have on molding practical, aspirational, and equitable understandings of self and society. Panelists discuss how practice can leverage discovery, curiosity, out-of-the-box thinking, and leadership to mine and challenge opportunities, or the lack thereof, for beauty, potentiality, subjugation, and liberation that digital technologies often carry. The panel also engages thought about how future, present, and past technologies combined with narratives centering on underutilized, underrecognized communities can be coaxed or developed to produce technological ecosystems that produce nuanced, open, and equitably informed digital tools, platforms, and collaborators.

1:00 pm - 2:15 pm
Majority World Digital Infrastructures with Lisa Nakamura, Marisa Duarte, Ivan Chaar Lopez, Meryem Kamil, Huan He, and Jasmine Banks
Digital infrastructure shapes access, representation, and cultural politics. Indigenous, Asian and Southeast Asian, Palestinian, U.S. Mexico border, and women of color uses of digital networks are often represented as niche or marginal, sequestered in area studies, ethnic studies, and women studies, yet the U.S. and Western Europe are the numerical minority.

2:30 pm - 3:45 pm
Legibility and Community in Digital Studies with Huan He, Kevin Winstead, David Adelman, Aaron Dial, Jeff Nagy, Rianna Walcott, and Brandy Pettijohn
As junior scholars, the Digital Inquiry Speculation Collaboration Optimism (DISCO) Network postdoctoral fellows faced unique challenges negotiating the tensions of being legible for academic employment and serving digital studies projects that foster collaboration and community. This panel discusses best practices for being young career scholars in critical identity and digital studies.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

Science matters. Over the last half-century, a field—called science studies—has emerged to explain why. Science studies accounts for science’s remarkable authority in many ways, calling attention to techniques of persuasion, regimes of labor, and forms of materiality that underwrite science’s power and practice. Uniting this diverse range of scholarly approaches is a focus on “knowledge.” Since the 1980s, scholars of science studies have focused almost exclusively on the production, circulation, and contestation of knowledge. Knowledge has retained this priority even as its basic categories—objectivity and proof, trust and truth—have come in for historical and social analysis. Science’s importance, in other words, is rooted in its ways of knowing.

This workshop looks beyond “knowledge” for alternative categories and concepts at the edges of science studies. Leading scholars will present a range of critical terms as possible futures for science studies, questioning the identification of “science” and “knowledge” that was cemented with the rise of “historical epistemology” over the last few decades. Drawing on theoretical turns in fields near and far, we will consider the possibility of a science studies centered on roots and vibrations, habits and beliefs, the sacred and the type. The workshop remains committed to the idea that science matters; what participants are after is a new account (or accounts) of why, new frameworks within which old binaries fade from view and new political possibilities emerge.

Join us on March 28 at 4:00 pm in 1014 Tisch Hall for the public event.

"bellvoix" World Premiere by Julie Zhu, carillon (April 3, 2024 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/118487 118487-21841134@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 3, 2024 12:00pm
Location: Burton Memorial Tower
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

*bellvoix* is a site-specific performance at U-M's Burton Memorial Tower. Instead of broadcasting songs, the carillon has a speaking voice. Artist and performer Julie Zhu talks through a convolution of her voice and bell sounds to passersby, surprising them with specific details surveilled from the tower, goading them into conversation.

When a carillon cyborg finally acquires language, what will she say? How might listeners – who don’t have a choice whether to listen – react to the authority of a public musical instrument who necessarily has opinions? *bellvoix* makes obvious the specific social contract between the carillon and the community it serves, woos, or antagonizes. Who is the carillon? And why do we bell?

This world premiere of "bellvoix" (2023) by Julie Zhu, President's Postdoctoral Fellow and Assistant Professor (performing arts technology), is a 30 minute performance. It is co-sponsored by the U-M Arts Initiative and part of the series "XR/XF: Extended Realities/Extended Feminisms" with the Digital Studies Institute.

***
The Charles Baird Carillon, an instrument of 53 bronze bells, is located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell, which strikes the hour, weighs 12 tons, while the smallest bell, 4½ octaves above, weighs just 15 pounds.

Thirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8), and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Earplugs are available from the carillonist upon request. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon: https://smtd.umich.edu/facilities/ann-and-robert-h-lurie-carillon/

Texting in Mixed-Mode Studies: Results from Recent Research Experimentation

Using multiple modes of contact has been found to increase participation in surveys over a single contact mode. Text messaging has emerged as a new mode to contact survey participants in mixed-mode survey designs, especially for surveys that include web and/or phone data collection. However, it has been unclear how to best combine text messages with mailings and other outreach contacts to improve response rates and data quality. At NORC, we launched a program to explore the effectiveness of using text messaging as a contact mode and embedded experiments in multiple NORC studies to better understand the impact and benefits of texting. In this seminar, we highlight results from our recent experimental research, including the effectiveness of text invitations and text reminders at different points in the contact sequence, the time-of-day text messages are sent, and whether text reminders are more effective than postcard reminders. Objectives for this seminar include: to understand how texting is used for contacting potential survey respondents at NORC, share examples from texting on specific NORC projects, and discuss results from recent studies on how best to use texting.

Leah Christian is Senior Vice President directing the Methodological and Quantitative Social Sciences department. Prior to joining NORC, Christian worked at Nielsen and the Pew Research Center. Christian brings over 20 years of experience in survey methodology and panel research, including work with federal, academic, commercial, and nonprofit organizations. She is an expert in data collection modes, mixed-mode survey and panel designs, and questionnaire design and measurement error. Her research also focuses on evaluating big data for use in social science research, integrating survey and big data, and using survey data to correct for errors in big data. Christian is co-author of Internet, Phone, Mail, and Mixed-Mode Surveys: The Tailored Design Method and has published 15 articles on research methodology in a variety of journals and presented more than 50 conference, webinar and short courses on research methodology and data science. Christian was a recipient of AAPOR’s Warren J. Mitofsky’s Innovators Award in 2017 for her work with a research team developing web-push data collection methodologies. Christian holds a PhD in sociology from Washington State University.

Christopher Hansen is a Research Methodologist with over 10 years of experience in applied research. During his time at NORC, he has worked in the capacity of methodologist on numerous projects in the areas of survey and questionnaire design and cognitive and usability testing. These projects include the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) Labs Methodology Review, the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods with Harvard University, the CDC’s Survey of Today’s Adolescent Relationships and Transitions, and the CDC’s COVID Experiences Longitudinal Surveys. Hansen teaches courses in research methodology at Loyola University Chicago and DePaul University and has presented on topics related to survey design and measurement at national conferences, including the American Association for Public Opinion Research and the American Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management. Hansen holds a master’s degree in sociology from the University of Chicago.

Martha McRoy is a Senior Research Methodologist who specializes in survey sample design, questionnaire development, fieldwork monitoring and implementation, quality control, and data weighting for web, mail, telephone, face-to-face, and mixed-mode surveys. McRoy provides rigor in all stages of survey research with project work covering a breadth of topics including public opinion, religion, health, justice, and transportation. Her experimental work focuses on mode shifts and bridge studies, predicting response propensities and survey outcome dispositions of sampled respondents, increasing response rates for hard-to-reach populations, and developing tools to monitor data collection activity. McRoy brings over ten years of experience in survey statistics and methodology, including working at Abt Associates, Westat, the Pew Research Center, and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development. She holds a master’s degree in survey methodology from the University of Michigan.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

XR/XF: Extended Realities, Extended Feminisms brings together local, national, and international artists to create a site-specific multimedia exhibition and series of events on the University of Michigan campus and across the city of Ann Arbor. The exhibition will take place in various locations, including a shipping container - the XR/XF pod - that will travel between 2 locations in Ann Arbor during the first two weeks of April.

The city of Ann Arbor has always been feminized. The story goes that in 1824, John Allen and Elisha W. Rumsey founded the town and named it after their wives, who were both named Ann. Since then, the city has been anthropomorphized as a feminine body throughout the years. In the 1980s, the University of Michigan’s football rivals in Ohio invented the infamous slogan, “Ann Arbor is a Whore!” as a method to jeer at the opposition. Since then, this offensive slogan has spread across the US and reappears every Fall during football season in Ann Arbor, proliferating through both physical and digital objects. As one recent social media commenter notes: “That's what happens when you have a chick name for your city.”

With this project, we strike/suspend gender from the city’s name: Ann Arbor is neither trophy wife nor whore. Instead, we pose Ann Arbor as a feminist cyborg, a feminist map, and a creative, participatory organism. We construct the body of the city differently, with artistic intervention and cyberfeminist means: physical and digital installation, activations of public space, music, performances, and workshops. From the Bell Tower on central campus to the parking lot of the Liberty Annex, we offer a creative activation that is both physical and digital and a fluid/complex/distributed image of the city through both XR and feminist means.

Curated by Alina Nazmeeva and Yvette Granata. In collaboration with Tiffany Ng, Tyler Musgrave, Julie Zhu, and Anıl Çamcı. Supported by the Arts Initiative at University of Michigan.

Abstract:
How can we build successfully diverse universities in which people feel they can contribute from the standpoint of their backgrounds and identities, and yet not be discriminated against based on those backgrounds and identities?

Claude M. Steele, professor of psychology at Stanford University, shares early insights from his forthcoming book in a talk he calls “Churn: Life in the Increasingly Diverse World of Higher Education and How to Make It Work.” The author of Whistling Vivaldi: How Stereotypes Affect Us and What We Can Do, Dr. Steele is renowned for his research on stereotype threat and its application to the academic performance of underrepresented students.

Dr. Steele will discuss his concept: when two people, or groups of people, each with their contingencies of identity, are attempting to communicate across differences, there is a lot going on cognitively, affectively, and emotionally in these situations.

Churn is the worry about how one’s identity, in light of all of this context, plays out in the subjective experience of a diverse situation. To Steele, this “identity churn” is a “huge part” of the challenge of diversity, and trust is the critical issue in the functioning of our institutions. This session will be co-hosted by BME and the Psychology Department.

Additional information can be found here: https://xrxf.net/carillon

The sonic/ecological exhibition Otsi’tsistó:sera takes its name from a new carillon composition by Dawn Avery, a composer of Mohawk descent, based on planting songs that Haudenosaunee women of the turtle clan sing to the seeds and plants as they grow their gardens. During this two-day “open house,” visitors may enter the carillon all day and experience a belfry filled with music by Indigenous women and lush with native plants in both organic and virtual forms. Explore the ecology of local native plants and keystone species and their Indigenous significance, discover visual remnants of Michigan’s pre-logging forests, and hear Avery’s Otsi’tsistó:sera as well as piano and carillon performances of Beverley McKiver’s Canadian Floral Emblems during live carillon concerts and at an on-demand listening station. Performances and recordings by Tiffany Ng, Pamela Ruiter-Feenstra, Carson Landry, Grace Jackson, and Beverley McKiver.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

XR/XF: Extended Realities, Extended Feminisms brings together local, national, and international artists to create a site-specific multimedia exhibition and series of events on the University of Michigan campus and across the city of Ann Arbor. The exhibition will take place in various locations, including a shipping container - the XR/XF pod - that will travel between 2 locations in Ann Arbor during the first two weeks of April.

The city of Ann Arbor has always been feminized. The story goes that in 1824, John Allen and Elisha W. Rumsey founded the town and named it after their wives, who were both named Ann. Since then, the city has been anthropomorphized as a feminine body throughout the years. In the 1980s, the University of Michigan’s football rivals in Ohio invented the infamous slogan, “Ann Arbor is a Whore!” as a method to jeer at the opposition. Since then, this offensive slogan has spread across the US and reappears every Fall during football season in Ann Arbor, proliferating through both physical and digital objects. As one recent social media commenter notes: “That's what happens when you have a chick name for your city.”

With this project, we strike/suspend gender from the city’s name: Ann Arbor is neither trophy wife nor whore. Instead, we pose Ann Arbor as a feminist cyborg, a feminist map, and a creative, participatory organism. We construct the body of the city differently, with artistic intervention and cyberfeminist means: physical and digital installation, activations of public space, music, performances, and workshops. From the Bell Tower on central campus to the parking lot of the Liberty Annex, we offer a creative activation that is both physical and digital and a fluid/complex/distributed image of the city through both XR and feminist means.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

RSVP Here: https://bit.ly/3IWxM5m

Walking Her Path is a public soundwalk experience. Participants will engage in the exploration of their sonic environment, with a focus on listening from a perspectives shaped by the experiences of womanhood and gender dynamics. This activity involves walking, listening and recording, serving as an intentional exercise in auditory examination. During the soundwalk, participants will be invited to actively listen to both the cacophony and the subtleties of everyday life through a feminist lens. They will be prompted to tune into sounds that may symbolize the experiences of womanhood, empowerment, or oppression. For example, the sound of footsteps might symbolize independence and determination, whereas the noise from construction sites or the abrupt blare of car horns might be seen as symbolic of societal interruptions or aggressive intrusions. Attendees will be equipped with handheld field recorders and encouraged to capture sounds that resonate with them personally. Moreover, participants will be encouraged to provide narrations during the soundwalk, articulating their reasons for selecting particular sounds and what those sounds represent to them.

With each passing day, AI technologies play a more and more prominent role in our lives. AI is transforming fields including healthcare, business, science, art, technology, transportation, and more. It is reaching into nearly every aspect of our broader society. Ensuring that we are developing, deploying, and evaluating AI applications ethically and responsibly is imperative — as is providing equal access to these tools.

Amid the current AI boom, researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers need to work together to identify the best practices for studying, developing, and regulating AI in a responsible and ethical manner. MIDAS is excited to be partnering with Rocket Companies to host experts from academia, the private sector, and government, as well as U-M researchers and Future Leaders Summit attendees to showcase their research, discuss important research opportunities and identify gaps, and foster collaborations that will help inform a more responsible, ethical, and accessible future for AI in our society.

We construct the body of the city differently, with artistic intervention and cyberfeminist means: physical and digital installation, activations of public space, music, performances, and workshops. From the Bell Tower on central campus to the parking lot of the Liberty Annex, we offer a creative activation that is both physical and digital and a fluid/complex/distributed image of the city through both XR and feminist means.

XR/XF: Extended Realities, Extended Feminisms brings together local, national, and international artists to create a site-specific multimedia exhibition and series of events on the University of Michigan campus and across the city of Ann Arbor. The exhibition will take place in various locations, including a shipping container - the XR/XF pod - that will travel between 2 locations in Ann Arbor during the first two weeks of April.

The city of Ann Arbor has always been feminized. The story goes that in 1824, John Allen and Elisha W. Rumsey founded the town and named it after their wives, who were both named Ann. Since then, the city has been anthropomorphized as a feminine body throughout the years. In the 1980s, the University of Michigan’s football rivals in Ohio invented the infamous slogan, “Ann Arbor is a Whore!” as a method to jeer at the opposition. Since then, this offensive slogan has spread across the US and reappears every Fall during football season in Ann Arbor, proliferating through both physical and digital objects. As one recent social media commenter notes: “That's what happens when you have a chick name for your city.”

Hydrogen Grand Challenge (April 11, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/118498 118498-21841150@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 11, 2024 4:00pm
Location: Lurie Robert H. Engin. Ctr
Organized By: MI Hydrogen

The Hydrogen Grand Challenge is a series of prize competitions organized by MI Hydrogen and sponsored by H2Power. The inaugural competition, Michigan Hydrogen Horizon, challenges University of Michigan students to craft a business case for the Michigan-centric, regional deployment of hydrogen. This competition encourages students to explore and showcase the value of clean hydrogen in specific sectors and technology applications.

Hydrogen, positioned as a pivotal energy carrier, is poised to revolutionize various domains, including heavy-duty transportation, aviation, heating, distributed power, and critical industrial sectors such as steelmaking, glassmaking, and semiconductor manufacturing.

The competition features 13 teams comprised of over 50 students from the Ross School of Business, Michigan Engineering, Taubman College, the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, Ford School, the School of Information, and the School for Environment and Sustainability.

To refine their business case, each student group will collaborate with faculty and business leaders from U-M, H2Edge, Mitsubishi Power, Tenneco, Bosch, ERPI, Consumers Energy, Next Hydrogen, Argonne National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, and more.

At the Final Pitch Competition, each team will present its business case to a panel of judges who will evaluate teams as entrepreneurs seeking start-up funds from early-stage investors and venture capital firms.

Teams are vying for a share of the $10,000 prize pool, with the first-place team receiving $5,000, the first runner-up awarded $3,000, and the second runner-up receiving $2,000. Beyond the monetary rewards, participating teams gain invaluable real-world experience in pitching a business plan and attracting capital for the commercialization of hydrogen technology or applications.

Manuscript Studies Interest Group (April 11, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/116755 116755-21837903@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 11, 2024 4:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)

The Manuscript Studies Interest Group aims to bring together faculty, graduate students, librarians/curators, fellows/visiting scholars, and anyone else at U-M interested in manuscript studies or engaged in research on manuscripts. Manuscript cultures are central to premodern societies. Different manuscript formats and material substrates connect texts, images, languages, reading practices, and ritual performances, which in a university setting are often split across multiple departments and fields. Having this broad framework will enable the interest group to explore collaboration across disciplines and facilitate research among different manuscript traditions through an object-centered approach.

In monthly meetings during the Fall and Winter terms, participants will present on current research interests as well as give more general overviews of particular manuscript cultures for informal discussion and exchange. They will also occasionally discuss key readings which have shaped manuscript studies in specific areas or in broader ways. In addition, the interest group hopes to be able to explore manuscript collections in person together, both in and around Ann Arbor as well as further afield. Inviting an external speaker once a year (potentially funded through the History of Art Department) would be a great way to connect the interest group with scholars beyond U-M.

Organized by Tina Bawden (History of Art) and Trent Walker (Asian Languages & Cultures)
