You are invited to a special screening for the U-M community of SOME OLD BLACK MAN, a live theater piece produced by the University Musical Society (UMS) and filmed under strict public health and safety protocols as part of acclaimed actor Wendell Pierce’s (The Wire, Jack Ryan) Digital Artist Residency at the University of Michigan.

The screening is free with registration and available on-demand from Wednesday, February 24 through Sunday, February 28. Duration is approximately 1 hour, 45 minutes. Closed captioning is available.

Written only a few years before the history-making events of 2020, Some Old Black Man frames racial prejudice with an honesty rarely confronted and dramatized. It challenges people of all ages to learn about the unique perspective of elders whose lived struggles created opportunities for future generations and to confront the experiential divides that can grow larger due to generational differences.

For a limited time, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing. For instructions, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘You Will Die at Twenty'”

About the movie:
NYTimes Critics Pick! Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye, he encounters friends, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.

For Your Eyes Only (February 25, 2021 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/82066 82066-21014790@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 25, 2021 8:00am
Location:
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.

Yasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

For Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled, scrutinized, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.
*Southwest Asian/North African

This project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Yelp’s mission is to connect people with great local businesses, and one of the teams working behind the scenes to make that happen is our five star engineering and product teams.

Playing an active role in our community is a value that we have strongly prioritized over the years. Typically we would invite you to come to Yelp’s HQ to network, grab a slice of ‘za, and learn about the technology and culture behind Yelp.With stay-at-home orders across the globe, Yelp (like many of you) has had no choice but to adapt to these changes. We understand that this is a strange and challenging time for many, so we’d like to invite you to join us as we navigate this new normal for the tech community together.

Tostay connected, create space for folks to collaborate and share some of the things Yelp has been working on, we are launching our very own virtual tech talk series. This series of talks will feature Yelpers from engineering and product and will focus on themes such as career development, technical skills, workplace challenges and Yelp’s response to COVID-19.

Talk: Modernizing Ad Attribution at Yelp by Bernard Laveaux

Measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns can be challenging without visibility into their performance. In the world of online advertising we have the opportunity to more directly quantify and reflect an advertiser’s return on investment via attribution. For example, we can directly quantifythe value of a Yelp biz page ad click by attributing it to a subsequent‘lead’ action like ordering delivery or requesting a quote for a service. This in turn gives both Yelp and advertisers on Yelp insight into thedirect impact and value their advertising budget provides. In this talk,Bernard will discuss how Yelp’s ad attribution system works, as well as how we’ve improved it over time to be more resilient and provide more value to internal stakeholders and Yelp advertisers.

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

Data for Good in Changing Times

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

Public health and medicine
Social justice and equity
Politics and civic engagement

“It’s Not Brain Surgery”: Graphic Medicine, Graphic Justice, and More About Comics for Grown Ups (February 25, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/81100 81100-20848516@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 25, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This lecture will be live streamed.

Graphic Medicine describes the genre of comics and graphic novels around healthcare, as told from personal and professional perspectives. Many think of comics as for children, but that could be risky with some of these! The personal experiences described can be tender or gritty, and touch on topics such as specific conditions, social justice, dying, lived experiences, resilience. Visual aspects of storytelling take advantage of new literacies, offering insights not possible through other mediums.

Patricia F. Anderson (@pfanderson) is the Emerging Technologies Informationist at UM, in which she’s made apps, books, comics, and a videogame, which officially makes this the coolest job ever. Her job lets her hang out with microbiome researchers, precision medicine folk, health IT geeks, makerspace gurus, and talk about explorations in personal genomics and 3d printing. Her other publication areas include social media, search engines, wearables, text mining, tech mining, textual analysis, and systematic reviews.

This is the first of a six-lecture series. The subject of the series is Graphic Books and Memes. The next lecture will be on March 4, 2021. The title is: Creating Comic/Graphic Novels From Concept to Publication. Learn from well-known experts about an array of interesting subjects, with an interactive Q&A period following each lecture.

Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

Abolitionist University Studies: An Invitation (February 25, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/81639 81639-20935525@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 25, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

*Zoom registration required: https://myumi.ch/E3jjK*

*We think it’s time to take up an abolitionist approach to the university. We can’t do it without you.*

Abolition, we believe, offers the occasion for thinking about the university in ways that the institution itself might otherwise render impossible. And in doing so it may provide an opportunity to trouble the institution as we know and inhabit it—and as it inhabits us. Inspired by radical scholars and organizers in and outside of universities, we embrace abolition as a generative rather than merely negative project. We aim to build relations that steal the sheen from the university’s romanticized history and to repurpose its resources, capacities, and function of reproducing sociality with and for other ways of being, other ways of living. In coming together, we take up the question, What would an abolitionist approach to the university say yes to?

These conversations belong to a larger set of recent efforts to theorize and historicize the dense and manifold linkages of universities with the infrastructure of settler colonial power, U.S. militarism, and racial capitalism. These efforts have sought not only to introduce new vocabularies and critical frames for how we understand universities and their conditions of possibility; they have also revealed some of the limits of the methodological tools heretofore available to think the university. From the well-intentioned methodological nationalism that tends to disappear the constitutive militarism of the Cold War university to the unrecognized settler imagination that valorizes as democratic the postbellum “public” land-grant institutions, to periodizations of the modern research university that hold its proximity to slavery at bay, the production of the university as an object of love and an occasion for rescue has often been reproduced in efforts to study it.

Abolitionist university studies, an emerging set of conversations about knowledge, power, and its institutional organizations has sought to offer a broad frame and a set of coordinates to study the university on different terms. It has, furthermore, insisted on regarding knowledge production not as a set of disembodied ideas or logics, but as organizational forms. Such a frame calls for methodological creativity. What kinds of pedagogical strategies does it open onto? What kind of historical frames get brought into courses, and how to bring abolitionist approaches into classrooms not nominally focused on the topic? How can abolitionist modes of organizing within universities open onto or remake existing political collectivities?

Recently there has been new progress in computing a class of observables in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions at finite 't Hooft coupling, ranging from correlation functions of "baryonic" operators to leading instanton effects at large N. All those examples share two common features: 1. At weak coupling, they can be computed by an overlap between a matrix product state and an eigenstate of the Hamiltonian of an integrable 1+1d spin chain. 2. Using AdS/CFT, they can be mapped to so-called g-functions on the string worldsheet and can be computed exactly as a function of 't Hooft coupling. After explaining the basic ideas, I will showcase several applications.

As society enters the era of Big Data, and intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems begins to embrace it, researchers will rely more on data to train controllers or validate them from repeated simulations.

This talk will describe autonomous and intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and how the availability of experimental testbeds has enabled discoveries applicable for societal-scale systems - one of which is the Cognitive and Autonomous Testbed Vehicle (CAT Vehicle). It has participated in several high-profile experiments regarding heterogeneous human-driven and semi-autonomous traffic flow. Dr. Sprinkle will detail ongoing efforts that explore how collaboration with researchers in application domain fields can dramatically expand available data sets. This also provides unique opportunities for exploring the security and privacy challenges that accompany societal-scale systems.

UMMA’s collection includes a silkscreen by Paul Rand titled Joseph Addison Poser-Laughter. Let’s use a line from Addison—“Man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter”—as a runway, of sorts, for some poetic flights. Our description of the Rand silkscreen compares its central figure to Lewis Carroll’s Cheshire Cat. Let’s write and share a few poems in the tradition of Lewis Carroll.

We especially have Carroll’s “Mad Gardener’s Song” form in mind, an example of which goes like this: “He thought he saw an Argument / That proved he was the Pope: / He looked again, and found it was / A Bar of Mottled Soap. / ‘A fact so dread,’ he faintly said, / ‘Extinguishes all hope!’”

These poems are easy to write, and great fun to hear out loud.

 

Cody Walker directs the U-M English Department’s Undergraduate Creative Writing Program and co-directs the Bear River Writers’ Conference. He’s the author of three poetry collections, including The Self-Styled No-Child (Waywiser Press, 2016). His work appears in The New York Times Magazine, Slate, and The Best American Poetry.

Radical Acts: Building an anti-racist future through art
A conversation with Sheryl Oring and Sherrill Roland

Stamps Gallery in partnership with U-M Democracy & Debate Theme Semester is proud to present a conversation with leading social practice artists Sheryl Oring and Sherrill Roland, Creative Capital awardees and practitioners nationally renowned for their long-term and ongoing performance projects, I Wish to Say and The Jumpsuit Project. Oring and Roland leverage their socially engaged art practices as a vehicle to activate democracy and build awareness of the systemic barriers within the incarceration and criminal justice systems.

Join us for a lively and intimate conversation with Oring and Roland, who are also longtime friends and collaborators, as they discuss the urgency and complexities of making socially engaged projects in our present moment. The conversation will be moderated by Stamps Gallery Director, Srimoyee Mitra.

Bios
Sheryl Oring activates democracy through art. She is the creator of the I Wish to Say public performance project, through which she has typed more than 4,000 postcards to four different U.S. Presidents from more than 100 locations across the country since launching the project in 2004. Her book, Activating Democracy: The I Wish to Say Project, was published by the University of Chicago Press.  Other recent projects include large-scale public art commissions at airports in Tampa and San Diego. Oring is the recipient of grants from Franklin Furnace Fund, Creative Capital Foundation, the American Council on Germany, the New York Foundation for the Arts and the North Carolina Arts Council. Oring’s work has been shown at Bryant Park in New York; the Berlin Wall Memorial; the Jewish Museum Berlin; the 01SJ Biennial in San Jose, CA; the San Diego Museum of Art; as well as in major festivals such as Encuentro in São Paulo, Brazil, and the Art Prospect Festival in St. Petersburg, Russia. Her work is in collections including the Library of Congress, the Museum of Modern Art (NY) and the Tate in London and has been reviewed in numerous publications. She is Professor and Chair of the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art and Art History at Wayne State University in Detroit.

Sherrill Roland is an interdisciplinary artist who creates art that challenges ideas around controversial social and political constructs and generates a safe space to process, question and share. He was born in Asheville, NC, and received an MFA in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Inspired by his experience in prison for a crime he did not commit, he founded The Jumpsuit Project to raise awareness around issues related to mass incarceration. Roland’s socially-engaged art project has been presented at Open Engagement Chicago, Oakland City Hall, and the Studio Museum of Harlem. He is a 2021 awardee of Art for Justice Fund and Creative Capital awardee.

"Understanding roles of cloud and precipitation in the recent Arctic warming through radiative feedbacks"

Abstract:
Since the early 1980s, the Arctic has warmed 2-3 times faster than the global mean, a feature often called Arctic amplification (AA). As the Arctic warms, the melt of snow and ice together with the associated feedbacks is known to be an important reason for AA. According to our feedback estimates from historical climate model simulations and reanalysis datasets, much of the amplified Arctic warming can be attributed to the surface albedo feedback. In a recent study, we used results from a global climate model and multiple reanalysis datasets to unravel the causes of a 1% per decade absolute reduction in the Arctic surface albedo, as revealed by satellite observations. We found that reductions of terrestrial snow cover, snow cover fraction over sea ice, and sea ice extent appear to contribute equally to the Arctic albedo decline. Further analysis of the global model results showed that the decrease in snow cover fraction is primarily driven by the increase in surface air temperature, followed by declining snowfall. Although the total precipitation has increased as the Arctic warms in the recent decades, Arctic snowfall has decreased substantially in all of the analyzed datasets. While CMIP6 models agree well on the importance of surface albedo feedback to AA, net cloud feedback over the Arctic has large uncertainties including its sign, which strongly depends on the datasets (e.g., reanalysis, satellite, or climate models), the time periods, and the methods used for the feedback estimation. AMIP6 models with known historical effective radiative forcing give a near-zero global mean cloud feedback for the recent past, leading to a negative global mean net feedback that is about twice the feedback estimated from CMIP6 long‐term warming (4×CO2) experiments.

Anil Yildirim (Aerospace Engineering) and Jiale Tan (Epidemiology) (February 25, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81478 81478-20895806@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 25, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery and Engineering

ANIL YILDIRIM: Anil Yildirim is a PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering and Scientific Computing. His research focuses on the development and application of robust computational tools in the context of multidisciplinary design optimization for aircraft configurations.

"ROBUST AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE TOOLS FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGN OPTIMIZATION": The development of future sustainable aircraft heavily relies on the design and integration of advanced propulsion systems. However, the design of these systems are challenging due to the tightly coupled interactions between the aerodynamic and the propulsion disciplines. My research focuses on enabling these advanced technologies using aeropropulsive design optimization, in which the aerodynamic and propulsion system designs are optimized in a coupled manner. In this process, I use multiple robust and high-performance computational tools including the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver we have been developing in the MDO Lab at the University of Michigan. In this talk, I will cover some recent advancements in the field of CFD-based aeropropulsive design optimization and the computational methodologies we have been using for this work.

JIALE TAN: Jiale is a second year Phd student working with Prof. Rafael Meza in Epidemiology. His interest is to apply computational skills to public health challenges so that he can develop and apply modeling techniques for infectious and noninfectious diseases, including for viral infections like HIV and HCV, and eventually use them for modeling non-communicable diseases that disproportionately affect global health like cancer.

"MARKOV MULTISTATE TRANSITION MODEL ON ELECTRONIC NICOTINE DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND TRADITIONAL CIGARETTES": Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) have dramatically changed the landscape of tobacco products patterns in the USA since 2011. The impact of ENDS use on traditional cigarettes smoking remains a topic of considerable debate. A Markov multistate transition model was used to estimate transition rates (Hazard rate) between ENDS and cigarette use states (25 use states); never user, non-current experimental user, non-current regular user, current experimental user, and current regular user for each product. A 25×25 transition matrix was generated from this model. Parallel computations using 150 processors was used to estimate the transition rates. The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health study, which includes longitudinal data from 11,475 youth of ages 12 to 24 years from 2013-2018 was used to calibrate the model. The hazard estimates show the patterns of ENDS and cigarette use experimentation and transition to regular use. Next steps will assess the impact of different sociodemographic covariates (age, sex, race, education, household income) on the estimated transition rates.

Seminar Abstract:

In living organisms, translation of genetic information by the ribosome transforms
the information embedded in DNA into actuating components, namely proteins. Though life itself is incredibly diverse at the macroscopic level, at the molecular level, all of life uses the same set of machinery for translation - 20 standard amino acid building blocks (with minor exceptions), transfer RNAs (tRNA), and ribosomes. The convergence and association of these interdependent biomolecules is neatly captured in a table known as the ‘standard genetic code’. Even after billions of years of genetic drift, the ‘standard genetic code’ has been largely refractory to change. In this talk, I will be discussing strategies and methods for building organisms that can make and use non-standard amino acids to make proteins with enhanced or expanded function.

Marco Pavone
Associate Professor
Stanford University

In this talk I will present a decision-making and control stack for human-robot interactions by using autonomous driving as a motivating example. Specifically, I will first discuss a data-driven approach for learning multimodal interaction dynamics between robot-driven and human-driven vehicles based on recent advances in deep generative modeling. Then, I will discuss how to incorporate such a learned interaction model into a real-time, interaction-aware decision-making framework. The framework is designed to be minimally interventional; in particular, by leveraging backward reachability analysis, it ensures safety even when other cars defy the robot's expectations without unduly sacrificing performance. I will present recent results from experiments on a full-scale steer-by-wire platform, validating the framework and providing practical insights. I will conclude the talk by providing an overview of related efforts from my group on infusing safety assurances in robot autonomy stacks equipped with learning-based components, with an emphasis on adding structure within robot learning via control-theoretical and formal methods.

Quantitative chemical imaging of structure and function in living biological systems – from single cells to animals (February 25, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82103 82103-21036676@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 25, 2021 4:00pm

Cell heterogeneity plays a critical role in many pathophysiological processes such as cancer development and neurodegeneration. However, phenotypic variations of individual cells in a complex organ are often intractable by traditional analytical techniques. The main obstacles are the limited amount of analyte in a single cell and the need for noninvasive in situ analysis in order to preserve cell function and microenvironmental information. My lab focuses on the development of label-free pump probe microscopy techniques that enables quantitative morphological, chemical, and functional measurements at high spatial and temporal resolution from cultured cells to living animals. Specifically, we apply broadband and high sensitivity stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, an emerging chemical imaging tool, to study cell growth, cell metabolism, as well as disease processes. We also develop transient absorption microscopy to study a wide range of red blood cell associated functional processes such as neurovascular coupling in mouse brain. Together, we aim to build an integrated chemical imaging platform and couple it with advanced data analysis for comprehensive structural and functional imaging of living biological samples at single-cell resolution.

Spending on federal elections has accelerated rapidly over the last decade, with the total in 2020 more than doubling than the previous high. But does the money make any difference? Does it influence the outcomes of elections or the decisions of legislators post-election? If so, what can be done about it?

Professor Hall will give an overview of the topic and attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a lively Q & A, followed by breakout sessions with fellow alumni and students to further discuss the topic in detail.

January 28: *Islam Through Art*
Christiane Gruber, University of Michigan
This webinar introduces participants to key issues and themes in Islamic art, including architectural interactions and the importance of ornament and Arabic-script calligraphy. This session also aims to dispel contemporary discourses about figural imagery, especially depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. Finally, we will discuss readings, pedagogical strategies, and online resources which can help teach Islam in a manner that aims to circumvent simplistic presuppositions and “otherizing” binaries.

February 25: *Teaching Middle East History in World History*
Allen Fromherz, Georgia State University
Relevant to high school curricula, we will explore ideas and strategies for using decisive moments in Middle East History to explore larger themes of World History including charisma, religious encounters, commerce, and geographical diversity.

March 18: *Experiential Learning about the Middle East through the Senses*
Barbara Petzen, education consultant on the Middle East and Islam
This webinar will explore and demonstrate a wide variety of sensory approaches to learning about the Middle East. We’ll look at new ways to understand the diversity of the historical and contemporary Middle East through images and film, sound, taste and smell, and tactile experiences.

April 22: *Teaching about the Middle East through Underreported Stories*
Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting
This session with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting will explore reporting on the MENA region and curricular resources that can be used to connect underreported news stories to the classroom. We will outline ways to engage students in global issues through journalism, develop media literacy, encourage critical thinking about the MENA region, and connect with a journalist for a conversation about their experience reporting from the Middle East.

May 20: *Hip Hop and Women's Voices in the Middle East and North Africa*
Angela Williams, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Through the work of rap artists from the MENA region, we will learn about the varied lived experiences of girls and women in this region. Their music and online expressions depict the challenges and pressures they face, as well as spaces for hope and a better future for women and girls.


This series offers five interactive sessions between January and May 2021, featuring resources and strategies for teaching about the Middle East relevant to both in-person and virtual teaching for Grades 6-12 and community colleges. Educators may register for any or all of the sessions. SCECHs from the Michigan Department of Education are available.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lloyd Scholars for Writing and the Arts

Join MCSP, CSP, and LSWA for a series of conversations addressing the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. at this crucial turning point in the history of racism in America. More than fifty years ago, King made a call for a poor people’s campaign to take up arms against the evils of racism, poverty, and militarism. Yet, King’s expanding and increasingly radical vision for his work is often forgotten, co-opted by voices that distort his emphasis on love, compassion, and nonviolence to serve the status quo. Anti-racist activists who’ve followed King have had to grapple with how to interpret and respond to his legacy. One of them, the Rev. William Barber relaunched the Poor People’s Campaign in 2018, adding to King’s list of evils “environmental degradation” and calling for a multiracial coalition of poor people to challenge America’s exploitation of its people and the land. This three-part reading group will trace King’s varied legacy from his last published book to the present day and consider how those of us working for social justice can understand and build on his legacy.

Any questions, or to receive the RSVP link for the reading materials and the Zoom link, email LSWA Director Carol Tell (tellc@umich.edu).

Jan. 13, 5 p.m. King, “The World House,” from Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?
Feb. 25, 5 p.m. “MLK Now” by Brandon Terry and responses
NEW DATE Apr. 8, 5 p.m. William Barber, “Pastoral Letter to the Nation” and Marc Lamont Hill, “Language of the Unheard” and “Toward an Abolitionist Vision”

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

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

The next big thing: Redistricting in Michigan and the role of communities of interest (February 25, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80169 80169-20572616@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 25, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

In 2018 Michigan voters approved a Constitutional amendment to change how redistricting is done in the state, removing the process from the purview of the state legislature and placing it in the hands of a new Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (MICRC). The amendment also prescribes priorities the MICRC must address when drawing new district maps, placing the concept of "communities of interest" (COIs) near the top of the list.

While COIs have been a part of redistricting in other states, this is a new concept in Michigan, and is not yet widely understood. This webinar will help educate stakeholders about COIs: what they are, the role they will play in Michigan's new redistricting process, and how they can strategize and engage effectively in that process.

The event is co-sponsored by the Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP), the Program in Practical Policy Engagement, Detroit Public TV, the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, and Voters Not Politicians, the citizen-led grassroots organization that spearheaded the effort to pass the amendment.

Through the VoteSafe program, VNP volunteer teams have helped to expand voting access for over 800,000 Michigan voters in 17 cities and townships, and VNP educated voters statewide on their safe voting options.

Professor Emerita Shelley Perlove, History of Art (UM-Dearborn), will give a Zoom lecture on February 25, 2021, at 7 PM. Her talk, “Treasures of Religious Art at the Detroit Institute of Arts,” is sponsored by the Michigan Center for Early Christian Studies (MCECS), the Department of Middle East Studies, and the Medieval and Early Modern Studies Program of the University of Michigan.

The presentation focuses upon the diverse and ever-changing interpretations of Christ and his mother Mary from the 13th through the 17th c. in Italy, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Selected works will be discussed in terms of their meaning and cultural context, including Catholic and Protestant controversies. Also of interest are the varied techniques in wood, marble, gold, and paint, as well as issues of museum display. In many cases an attempt will be made to “reconstruct” the original functions of these works created for ecclesiastical and domestic settings.

Registration is required: https://forms.gle/3L1yGa7JF2GCxdiA7
*We recommend registration at least two days before the event, although registration will remain open until the night of the event.*

The screening is free with registration and available on-demand from Wednesday, February 24 through Sunday, February 28. Duration is approximately 1 hour, 45 minutes. Closed captioning is available.

Written only a few years before the history-making events of 2020, Some Old Black Man frames racial prejudice with an honesty rarely confronted and dramatized. It challenges people of all ages to learn about the unique perspective of elders whose lived struggles created opportunities for future generations and to confront the experiential divides that can grow larger due to generational differences.

About the movie:
NYTimes Critics Pick! Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye, he encounters friends, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.

Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.

Yasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

For Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled, scrutinized, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.
*Southwest Asian/North African

This project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Organized By: Ginsberg Center

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

Data for Good in Changing Times

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

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

Do you study Russian and want more opportunities to develop your speaking skills in a welcoming and low-stakes environment? Are you looking for an opportunity to socialize with your peers and bond over the difficulties of learning a foreign language? Would you like to learn more about the culture of one of the most politically important and fascinating regions of the world with the coolest undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Michigan?

If the answer to any or all of the above questions is "yes", then you should check out the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures weekly Russian conversation club (called КРЯ - Клуб Русского Языка)! Every Friday at 11:00, we convene for lighthearted discussion of ourselves, our language studies, and of course, the culture of the Russophone world. Regular attendance is not mandatory - you can drop in and out as you wish, and club participants are always willing to help each other out with questions about the language during our discussions. We meet in two groups, the first aimed at first-year students or any who are beginning their language study, and the second targeted towards students who have studied the language for at least a year. Participants are also encouraged to join our discord server, where we post weekly meeting announcements and other Russian-language related content.

Methods Hour: A cognitive process model to address context independence violations in the ABCD Study stop-signal task (February 26, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80375 80375-20711702@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 26, 2021 12:00pm

Organized By: Department of Psychology

Abstract:
The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study is a longitudinal neuroimaging study of unprecedented scale that is in the process of following over 11,000 youth from middle childhood though age 20. The study's primary measure of inhibitory control, the stop-signal task, has a unique design feature that violates "context independence", an assumption critical to the measurement model used to index inhibitory ability on the task, leading some experts to recently call for the task to be changed and caution against the use of previously-collected data. We developed a formal cognitive process model to explain the effects of this design feature on behavior, and therefore allow the impact of the violation on estimates of inhibitory ability to be quantified and accounted for. Discussion topics will include advantages of using formal process models in cognitive neuroscience research, the trade-off between model complexity and parameter estimation, and necessary conditions for using cognitive models to measure individual differences in psychological processes.

Have you often succeeded at an academic task even though you were afraid you wouldn’t do well? Do you dread others evaluating your work? Do you tend to remember incidents when you haven’t done your best more than those when you have? Thoughts such as these are the hallmark of imposter syndrome thinking. This hybrid workshop shares insights from the scholarship on imposter syndrome and provides research-based strategies for overcoming imposter syndrome. In preparation for the workshop, please watch this asynchronous 45-minute lecture video that shares the scholarship on this topic. At the synchronous workshop on February 26, we will interact with each other and try several of the evidence-based strategies for overcoming imposter syndrome.
This workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

Uncovering new functions of RNA modifications in mRNA processing (February 26, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80070 80070-20550969@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 26, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology

Abstract: Emerging evidence indicates that eukaryotic messenger RNAs are extensively decorated with modified nucleosides that have the potential to regulate eukaryotic gene expression through effects on mRNA metabolism. This talk will describe the discovery that the RNA modification pseudouridine is installed co-transcriptionally to pre-mRNA at thousands of positions by multiple pseudouridine synthases, revealing an endogenous function of pre-mRNA pseudouridylation in pre-mRNA processing. This function of pseudouridine synthases is important for our understanding of the many diseases associated with human pseudouridine synthase dysregulation.

II Round Table. Open Access Publishing in Asian Studies (February 26, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81304 81304-20881904@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 26, 2021 1:00pm

Open Access publishing means that ebooks can be read by anybody in the world with access to an internet connection. Because open access titles are openly-licensed and downloadable as well as free-to-read online, they are now also available for integration into digital scholarship projects. As book publishing moves increasingly digital, an International Institute collaboration with the U-M Press and with the Asia Library offers new opportunities for imaginative publishing that transcends disciplinary boundaries, reaches readers outside as well as inside the academy, and extends the understanding of Asian culture, history, and society around the world.

Over the last 50 years, the centers now housed in the University of Michigan International Institute have published over 300 ground-breaking books about East, South, and Southeast Asia. In 2018, these centers collaborated with University of Michigan Press and the U-M Asia Library to successfully apply for a Humanities Open Book program grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, aimed at making important backlist books broadly available again. This funding has allowed a complete record of the centers’ publications to be compiled and for 100 selected titles to be brought back into print and made digitally-available open access. These are now all freely available on major online platforms including JSTOR, Project MUSE, OAPEN, and as part of the University of Michigan Press Ebook Collection.

This event highlights the impact of the Michigan Asian Studies Open Access Books Collection so far, and asks “where do we go from here?” While it is focused on the Michigan publications as a case study, the panel aims to explore more broadly the opportunities for Open Access publishing in Asian studies more generally.

Free and open to the public; please register at https://myumi.ch/51r2p

IISS is pleased to announce our first book workshop of the semester with Prof. Aileen Das on her most recent book, *Galen and the Arabic Reception of Plato’s Timaeus*. This fascinating monograph is the first full-length study of the Arabic reception of Plato’s *Timaeus*. It considers the role of Galen of Pergamum (129–c. 216 CE) in shaping medieval perceptions of the text as transgressing disciplinary norms. It argues that Galen appealed to the entangled cosmological scheme of the dialogue, where different relations connect the body, soul, and cosmos, to expand the boundaries of medicine in his pursuit of epistemic authority – the right to define and explain natural reality. Prof. Aileen Das situates Galen’s work on disciplinary boundaries in the context of medicine’s ancient rivalry with philosophy, whose professionals were long seen as possessing superior knowledge of the cosmos vis-à-vis that of doctors. Her case studies show how Galen and four of the most important Christian, Muslim, and Jewish thinkers in the Arabic Middle Ages creatively interpreted key doctrines from the *Timaeus* to reimagine medicine and philosophy as well as their own intellectual identities.

Dave got his Ph.D. in Physics, during which time he decided that there was a whole world of things to do outside of academia when he graduated. He and his wife, who received a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, loaded up the car and moved to Seattle, where he found a job as a Project Manager at a small internet retailer called Amazon.com. How does this relate to a Physics degree? In Physics, we are taught to think from first principles and break down problems to their fundamentals. This can be applied to just about anything -- logistics, software development, people leadership. Dave will talk about how he used his background in Physics to do all of these things. This will be a casual discussion where he will answer students’ questions.

The way we live, work, and play is very different today than it was just a few decades ago, thanks in large part to a network of connectivity that now encompasses most people on the planet. In a similar way, today we are at the beginning of a new technological revolution: the Internet is entering the physical space – the traditional domain of architecture and design – becoming an “Internet of Things” or IoT. As such, it is opening the door to a variety of applications that – in a similar way to what happened with the first wave of the Internet – can encompass many domains: from energy to mobility, from production to citizen participation. The contribution from Prof. Carlo Ratti will address these issues from a critical point of view through projects by the Senseable City Laboratory, a research initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the design office Carlo Ratti Associati.

An architect and engineer by training, Professor Carlo Ratti teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he directs the Senseable City Lab, and is a founding partner of the international design and innovation office Carlo Ratti Associati. He graduated from the Politecnico di Torino and the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées in Paris, and later earned his MPhil and PhD at the University of Cambridge, UK. A leading voice in the debate on new technologies’ impact on urban life and design, Carlo has co-authored over 500 publications, including “The City of Tomorrow” (Yale University Press, with Matthew Claudel), and holds several technical patents.

Panelists:

Kenichi Soga, Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Berkeley

Geoffrey Thün, Professor of Architecture and Senior Associate Dean for Research and Creative Practice, A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning

CCN Forum: Visual speech modulates auditory speech perception in the auditory cortex through multiple distinct mechanisms (February 26, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80342 80342-20705801@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 26, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Psychology

Abstract:
Visual speech cues are often needed to disambiguate distorted speech sounds in the natural environment. However, understanding how the brain encodes and transmits visual information for usage by the auditory system remains a challenge. One persistent question is whether visual signals have a unitary effect on auditory processing or elicit multiple distinct effects throughout auditory cortex. In this talk, I will present results from our group that attempts to better understand how vision modulates speech processing. Data from neural responses to audiovisual speech in electrodes implanted intracranially as well as pilot results from a complementary study using fMRI will be discussed. These data show that visual speech modulates auditory processes in the auditory cortex in multiple ways, eliciting temporally and spatially distinct patterns of activity that differ across theta, beta, and high-gamma frequency bands. These results are consistent with models that posit multiple distinct mechanisms supporting audiovisual speech perception.

Conversations on Europe. Mobilizing Black Germany (February 26, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80866 80866-20815017@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 26, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for European Studies

This lecture is being presented by the Center for European Studies and Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures as the Werner Grilk Lecture in German Studies.

Florvil's new book, *Mobilizing Black Germany: Afro-German Women and the Making of a Transnational Movement*, with the University of Illinois Press, offers the first full-length study of the history of the Black German movement of the 1980s to the 2000s. As such, it examines the role of queer and straight women in shaping the contours of the modern Black German movement as part of the Black internationalist opposition to racial and gender oppression. She and Kira Thurman will exchange ideas about *Mobilizing Black Germany* and other Black internationalist themes in German Studies.

Tiffany N. Florvil is an associate professor of 20th-century European women’s and gender history at the University of New Mexico. Florvil coedited the volume, *Rethinking Black German Studies*, and has published chapters in *Gendering Post-1945 German History* and *To Turn this Whole World Over*. Her recent manuscript, *Mobilizing Black Germany: Afro-German Women and the Making of a Transnational Movement*, with the University of Illinois Press, offers the first full-length study of the history of the Black German movement of the 1980s to the 2000s. She is a board member of the International Federation for Research in Women’s History (IFRWH), an advisory board member for the Black German Heritage and Research Association, and an editorial board member for Central European History. She is also an editor of the Imagining Black Europe book series at Peter Lang Press.

Kira Thurman is an assistant professor of history and German studies at the University of Michigan. A winner of the Berlin Prize among other awards and fellowships, she is the author of several award-winning articles on music, the Black diaspora, and German-speaking Europe. Her book, *Singing like Germans: Black Musicians in the Land of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms*, is forthcoming with Cornell University Press (Fall 2021).

*How much does your university contribute to policing? How much does policing rely on your university? Who does it police? Where does it police?*

If you don’t have answers to these questions, you probably want them. We want them too.

Do you think it’s important for students to know how to find answers to these questions? Do you think it’s important for communities to find answers to them when police have jurisdiction that goes beyond the university campus?

The Cops Off Campus research project is a way of collecting this data to instigate a larger public conversation about the relations between universities and policing. We are looking to help instructors, students, organizers, and communities to ask questions about how much money and how many other resources universities devote to policing and what the effects are. We invite folks to participate in a project to collect data about university/police relationships with the goal of kicking cops off campuses and abolishing policing. We are excited to collaborate with members of the University of Michigan community toward these ends.

The work in the exhibition can also be viewed online: http://stamps.umich.edu/calendar/event-detail/story_word_sound_sway

Artists: Carisa Bledsoe (BFA Interarts ’14), Schroeder Cherry (BFA ’76), Elshafei Dafalla (MFA ’08), Masimba Hwati (MFA ’19), Caleb Moss (BFA ’13), Senghor Reid (BFA ’99), Valencia Robin (MFA ’08), Yvette Rock (MFA ’99), Wes Taylor (BFA ’04), Levester Williams (BFA ’13), and Elizabeth Youngblood (BFA ’73)

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is an exhibition of work by eleven Stamps School of Art & Design Alumni using performance, movement, text, sound, and design to interrogate systems of oppression and interrupt the status quo. It explores themes of alternative histories, archives, Black identity, collective memory, storytelling; meshing performance and performativity, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the world. An undercurrent of movement explored in multiple variations thread the works together, realized through a variety of methods including painterly gesture, repetitive mark-making, performance with an audience or without, spoken word, ambient sound, and reimagined instruments. The exhibition aspires to pull at the loosened threads of a social fabric in crisis, revealing larger complex histories and art discourses, nationally and internationally, framed through the experiences and trajectories of Stamps alumni during their time in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication that will include interviews with each of the alumni artists conducted by current Stamps’ student and exhibition co-curator Moteniola Ogundipe.

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is co-curated by Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan and Moteniola Ogundipe.

Using Multiple Forms of Data to Talk about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Liberal Arts Education (Seminar 4 on Measuring the Liberal Arts) (February 26, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79995 79995-20539168@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 26, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

Join us this winter term for the continuation of our public colloquium series exploring the values, dimensions, and outcomes of liberal arts education, and how they might be measured. In virtual panel discussions and seminars focused on measuring the liberal arts, academic leaders, researchers, faculty members, and national experts will gather to consider issues long central to liberal arts education, as well as its status now and in the future.

This seminar will consider ways that data has been used and can be used to address issues of access to and diversity, equity, inclusion within liberal arts education. Panelists will discuss the benefits and challenges of analyzing and interpreting these issues in relation to student experiences and outcomes, as they connect to liberal education specifically and college education more generally. What work remains to be done, and what work is most urgently needed?

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This presentation by Susan D. Turner, a Canadian architect and resident of downtown Chicago for the last 12 years, will cover several storylines of Chicago. Its history will be outlined, touching on its founding, the great fire, the Chicago River, the Columbia Exhibition and Burnam’s plan. With a virtual walking tour down Dearborn Street, you will experience the development of skyscraper construction. The Dearborn Street walk will, also, show you great works of art: Picasso, Miro, Calder, Chagall, and Tiffany.

Of course, you will want to see some of the tourist attractions: the Theatre District, Marshall Fields and the Mag(nificent) Mile, Jeweler’s Row, the Art Institute, Millennium Park/Grant Park, the Museum Campus, and glimpses of many public art pieces. Between attractions, Susan will tell you about Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, how the Windy City got its nickname, and factoids about the many inventions that came out of Chicago.

Presenter Susan Turner is not a certified tour guide, but her research and love of Chicago more than make up for it! She wonders how to show us a bit of Chicago virtually in 60 minutes when it usually takes ten days to accomplish it in person.

Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the virtual tour will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the event.

Smith Lecture: Unraveling Potential Biases in U-Pb Detrital Zircon Record Induced by High-temperature Metamorphism (> 850 ºC) (February 26, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77683 77683-19901716@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 26, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Earth and Environmental Sciences

Zoom Webinar ID#988 7708 8805
The assessment of detrital zircon age records is a key method in modern basin analysis, but it is prone to several biases that can compromise accurate sedimentary provenance investigations. High-temperature metamorphism (> 850 ºC) is herein presented as a natural cause of bias in provenance studies based on U-Pb detrital zircon ages, since zircons from rocks submitted to these extreme and often prolonged conditions frequently yield protracted, apparently concordant, geochronological records. Such spectrum can result from disturbance of the primary U-Pb zircon system, likewise from (re)crystallization processes during multiple and/or prolonged metamorphic events. In this contribution available geochronological data on Archean, Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic metamorphic rocks, acquired by different techniques (SIMS and LA-ICP-MS) and showing distinct compositions, are reassessed in order to demonstrate how these processes may result in age peaks and spectra of unclear geological meaning and exclusively formed by temperature-induced disturbance during high-grade metamorphism. As a consequence, it may induce misinterpretations on U-Pb detrital zircon provenance analyses, depending on the timing of the high-temperature metamorphism relative to the deposition of the studied strata. To evaluate the presence of high-temperature metamorphism-related bias in a given detrital zircon sample, we suggest a workflow for data acquisition and interpretation, combining a multi-proxy approach with: in situ U-Pb dating coupled with Hf analyses to retrieve the isotopic composition of the sources, and the integration of a petrochronological investigation to typify fingerprints of the (ultra)high-temperature metamorphic event.

Sophia Brueckner: Sci-Fi Prototyping and Critical Optimism (February 26, 2021 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80900 80900-20818976@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 26, 2021 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Inseparable from computers since the age of two, Sophia Brueckner believes she is a cyborg. As a software engineer at Google, she designed and built products used by tens of millions. At the Rhode Island School of Design and the MIT Media Lab, she researched the simultaneously empowering and controlling aspects of technology with a focus on tangible and social interfaces. Since 2011, Brueckner has taught Sci-Fi Prototyping, a course combining science fiction, extrapolative thinking, building prototypes, and technology ethics at MIT, Harvard, RISD, Brown, and the University of Michigan. Both the class itself as well as the students’ individual projects received international recognition and were featured by The Atlantic, Smithsonian Magazine, Wired, NPR, Scientific American, Fast Company, and many others. Creating new ways to apply science fiction to the design process, Brueckner prototypes alternatives to the tech industry’s limited visions for how we live with technology. She makes both physical and digital artifacts combining software programming, digital fabrication, and electronics with traditional media. These projects challenge the norms of the tech community, whose work has enormous impact on our day-to-day lives, as well as translates the problems in ways that are understandable to the everyday user. She invites others to embody an attitude of “critical optimism” and to imagine what technological futures they might prefer for themselves. Brueckner is the founder and creative director of Tomorrownaut, a creative studio focusing on speculative futures and sci-fi-inspired prototypes. Brueckner’s work has been featured by Artforum, SIGGRAPH, the Peabody Essex Museum, Portugal’s National Museum of Contemporary Art, Leonardo, Eyeo, ISEA, TEDx, the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, and more. She was an artist-in-residence at Autodesk Pier 9 and is now an artist-in-residence at Bell Labs Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.). She is currently an assistant professor at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan. Her ongoing objective is to combine her background in design and engineering with the perspective of an artist to inspire a more positive future.

Organized By: Michigan Engineering

You are invited to a special screening for the U-M community of SOME OLD BLACK MAN, a live theater piece produced by the University Musical Society (UMS) and filmed under strict public health and safety protocols as part of acclaimed actor Wendell Pierce’s (The Wire, Jack Ryan) Digital Artist Residency at the University of Michigan.

The screening is free with registration and available on-demand from Wednesday, February 24 through Sunday, February 28. Duration is approximately 1 hour, 45 minutes. Closed captioning is available.

Written only a few years before the history-making events of 2020, Some Old Black Man frames racial prejudice with an honesty rarely confronted and dramatized. It challenges people of all ages to learn about the unique perspective of elders whose lived struggles created opportunities for future generations and to confront the experiential divides that can grow larger due to generational differences.

UROP Research Mentors are faculty and post-doc researchers who provide undergraduate student researchers an opportunity to engage in research activities that help them learn about the pursuit of knowledge within an academic discipline. This early exposure to research fosters a valuable academic experience for students. Through this collaboration, students gain research skills and mentorship that lead to academic retention, a more positive undergraduate experience and paths to graduate school.

Summer research mentors will collaborate with UROP students participating in 10-week full time Summer Fellowships.

About the movie:
NYTimes Critics Pick! Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye, he encounters friends, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.

Co-sponsor: Michigan Theatre

For Your Eyes Only (February 27, 2021 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/82066 82066-21014792@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 27, 2021 8:00am
Location:
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.

Yasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

For Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled, scrutinized, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.
*Southwest Asian/North African

This project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.
