In the exploding world of acoustic music, Willie Watson hardly needs an introduction. During his decade-plus tenure with Old Crow Medicine Show, Willie’s driving rhythm guitar, transcendent lead vocals and pure tenor were an essential part of the band’s success (over 600,000 records sold, not to mention the platinum-selling single "Wagon Wheel"), but nowhere in OCMS’s catalog does his instrumental artistry and vocal prowess shine through as in his solo incarnation. Reaching back for inspiration to such artists as Utah Phillips, Leadbelly, and even the 1930s folk-country crossover artist Bascom Lamar Lunsford, Willie reinterprets and gives new life to a vast catalog of traditional songs that fit seamlessly beside self-penned classics cut from the very same cloth, creating a rich new patchwork of Americana. He comes to The Ark hot on the heels of his acting debut in the Netflix film "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs."

Realm of the Dead (October 13, 2021 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86446 86446-21634330@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 8:00am
Location:
Organized By: School of Social Work

Realm of the Dead is an installation/performance, freely adapted from Rogério Pinto’s award-winning play, Marília, about his sister who died in an accident in the street outside the family home when she was three years old and he just tenth months. Comprising a solo performance and an installation that serves as a set for that performance, Realm of the Dead is grounded in the work of the Brazilian theater artist Augusto Boal and in autoethnographic social work research and practice. These methodologies are recommended as vehicles for critical reflection, self-healing, personal growth, and advocacy.

The Realm of the Dead installation comprises more than thirty suitcases, each reflecting an aspect of Pinto’s multiple physical and spiritual journeys and representing the cemetery where Marília is buried. The performance, directed by Erwin Maas, also includes autobiographical material and explorations of ethnicity, race, gender, class, and other identities. The autoethnographic content of the piece has been reformatted into workshops for students at the University of Michigan’s School of Social Work.

Animal/Vegetable/Mineral Art Exhibit (October 13, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86729 86729-21642741@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 9:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

In this RC Art Gallery exhibit, Residential College and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design Professor of Art Susan Crowell presents, among other works, a series of wall plaques depicting endangered species. In Professor Crowell's effort to, "...question our interactions with the animal world and our impact upon it," she has installed images of elephants and donkeys as protagonists and antagonists in political struggle, and polar bears as victims of global warming.

"Animal/ Vegetable/Mineral presents an occasion to speak about my most compelling interests—plants and animals--within the mineral rubrics of clay," she says.

This event is free and open to the public. Masks are required for all attendees. Vaccination is not required but highly encouraged. All attendees must complete a short questionnaire at https://responsiblue.umich.edu/sign-in before entering East Quadrangle.

Susan Crowell is Professor of Art at the University of Michigan, where she teaches ceramics and holds a joint appointment in the Residential College and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. A Fulbright Scholar, she studied architectural ceramics at Centro Internazionale di Ceramica in Rome and directed and taught in the University of Michigan’s Program in Florence. Prof. Crowell conducts research and exhibits her work locally, nationally and internationally. She has presented projects and exhibitions in Canada (at Banff), Japan (at Shigaraki and Miyazaki), Italy (Rome, Venice and Florence), Taiwan, Denmark and China, as well as in France and the United States, and she has participated in a variety of international venues and residencies. In 2005 Crowell published I Compianti Sul Christo Morto: Lamentation Groupings in Northern Italy to illuminate the distinguished history of ceramic materials in Quattrocento devotional and didactic sculpture, and to bring an understanding of their use and potential to contemporary ceramics practitioners. In April of 2016 Prof. Crowell exhibited her work in the conservatories of the Matthaei Botanical Gardens at the University of Michigan, and in May of 2017, at the Alden Dow Gardens in Midland, MI. In 2018 she conducted residencies and research at the Jean Noble Parsons Center for the Study of Art and Science in northern Michigan, and at A.I.R. Vallauris in Vallauris, France, where she exhibited her work in La chapelle de la place Lisnard that October.

For ten years, Crowell’s research and artistic practice has focused upon pollen forms and the process of pollination. Deploying her appreciation of the role of technology in revealing the natural world, she applies the science and aesthetics of botany and apiculture toward the creation of ceramic sculpture, using cast and hand-built forms. In doing so, Prof. Crowell presents an expanded view of pollen within the problematics of industrialized honey production, global commerce in apicultural products, and genetically modified crops.. More recently, she has created Thinning the Herd, an installation of animal forms that addresses endangered species, and Oppositional, a commentary on contemporary political behavior in the United States.

Buying Home, Selling America: the House Catalog, 1906-1966 (October 13, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86339 86339-21632786@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Buying Home, Selling America: the House Catalog, 1906-1966 brings to light the collection of house catalogs in the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library’s Special Collections. Focusing primarily on the kit house industry of Michigan and the Midwest, the catalogs provide a portal to explore multiple themes, such as, the Michigan house catalog industry, changing architectural styles, the business of selling homes, societal and cultural implications, and domestic technologies. We hope the exhibit is not simply a nostalgic view back, but raises awareness of our domestic surroundings today and compels us to ask questions as we look to the future.

The exhibit is available in the Clark Library (second floor Hatcher) during Hatcher Library hours.

The way to begin that writing project is to write. Turn your text editor off and follow your wandering thoughts to see where they take you. Free Writing is about exploring ideas and memories. It’s about first drafts not finished products. Prompts will be given as a jumping off points for timed writings. We will share what we write in workshop without critique. Have a notebook and a comfortable pen handy. Be ready to write. What stories would you like to tell?

This study group, led by Diane Nash, will meet on Wednesdays for five weeks beginning on October 13. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Over the last 12-18 months, the world has wit­nessed the bru­tal impact of the COVID-19 pan­demic com­pounded by sys­temic racism as it pro­lif­er­ated across the US, threat­en­ing to sti­fle its vibrant and diverse soci­ety. Stu­dents and youth in the US and glob­ally have been at the fore­front of social change devis­ing mod­els of inclu­sion and care for those deeply impacted by the pan­demic and racial and envi­ron­men­tal inequities.
Stamps Gallery invited stu­dents at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to design posters and make videos that respond to the prompt: what change would you like to see in your community? Stamps students created meaningful posters and video work that will be featured in Respond/​Resist/​Rethink 2021: A Stu­dent Poster & Video Exhi­bi­tion.
Why posters & video?
For gen­er­a­tions, posters have served as an effec­tive tool to cir­cu­late ideas and mes­sages to the pub­lic. Visu­ally strik­ing, and designed to draw atten­tion from passersby, posters can be con­ver­sa­tion starters, invite peo­ple to pause, reflect, spread the word, get involved. They have been a pow­er­ful medium for many con­cep­tual artists and graphic design­ers to cre­ate pow­er­ful images and mes­sages that could respond to imme­di­ate issues and be dis­trib­uted widely.
Sim­i­larly, video art was another excit­ing imme­di­ate medium for con­cep­tual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the tech­nol­ogy became more acces­si­ble to the masses. Video art pro­vided an alter­na­tive to the dom­i­nant broad­cast­ing cor­po­ra­tions. Artists made exper­i­men­tal films, recorded per­for­mances, and first-per­son nar­ra­tives that were then exhib­ited and screened at gal­leries, muse­ums, and events. Posters and videos con­tinue to be salient fea­tures in the 21st Cen­tury to respond to urgent issues and ques­tions fac­ing the present moment.
Respond / Resist / Rethink asks the UM com­mu­nity to come together to envi­sion mod­els for inclu­sion that are grounded in equal­ity, belong­ing, and empathy. The work featured in the exhibition were selected through an open call by a com­mit­tee comprising Stamps fac­ulty, stu­dents, and staff includ­ing Julianna Lew, David Chung, Najwat Rehman, Albert Che, and Stamps Gallery staff.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Stamps Gallery is proud to present the first survey of renowned transmedia artist Stephanie Dinkins, who creates platforms for dialogue about artificial intelligence as it intersects race, gender, aging, and our future histories.
Through her work, Dinkins has become a central figure nationally and internationally recognized for exposing bias and inequity within artificial intelligence systems. Weaving together art production and exhibition, community-based workshops and public speaking all with the intention of encouraging action towards making artificial intelligence systems more inclusive, accessible and transparent.
In this exhibition, Dinkins will debut new and interactive installations and workshops that build on her concept of Afro-now-ism. In this poetic manifesto-like text, Dinkins asks her audience, particularly from communities of color, to not only confront the litany of violences that humans have wielded upon one another based on the institutional and social constructions of race, caste, class, and gender to maintain status quo and the current systems of power - but rise above it by taking action to start building the world that they desire.
She writes: “Instead of waiting to reach the proverbial promised land, also known as a time in the future that may or may not manifest in your lifetime, Afro-now-ism is taking the leap and the risks to imagine and define oneself beyond systemic oppression... For black people in particular, it means conceiving yourself in the space of free and expansive thought and acting from a critically integrated space, allowing for more community-sustaining work.”
Through her installations and workshops Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data develops a dialogue with the audience on the hierarchies embedded within machine learning and AI architecture and one's individual agency in transforming the algorithms within it. The audience will explore and participate in creating a more inclusive data-based narrative of what governance of the people, by the people and for the people can look like in an AI mediated world where care is encoded within our digital civic system.

Anti-Racism Research and Scholarship for Action (October 13, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87961 87961-21647933@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

Research and scholarship have long informed efforts to dismantle systemic racism. The racial reckoning sparked during 2020 was historic in the widespread acknowledgement of pervasive structural racism and resulting disparate inequities and injustices impacting minoritized communities and communities of color in the US. Institutions across the nation have expressed commitments to address racism in their organizations. The question now is how to move from intention to action and how to enact structural change that is transformational and sustainable.

In this session, we draw on the collective expertise and experience of University of Michigan scholars who have dedicated their careers to applying their scholarship to advance anti-racism and facilitate systemic change. Join us for an interdisciplinary conversation as we discuss how research and practice efforts around anti-racism are manifested in their respective fields, what it means to conduct research on race and racism in the current socio-political context, and the lessons these scholars have learned about engaging anti-racism in the academy.

Moderated by Dr. Tabbye Chavous, NCID Director, Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts; and Professor of Education and Psychology.
Panelists include:

Ketra Armstrong, University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor of Sport Management; Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the School of Kinesiology; and Director of the Center for Race and Ethnicity in Sport
Stephanie Fryberg, University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor of Psychology
Louise Toppin, Professor of Voice in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance
Susan Woolford, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Michigan Medicine and Co-Director of the Healthy Flint Research Coordinating Center

This event is hosted by National Center for Institutional Diversity’s Anti-Racism Collaborative, a strategic space that engages the University of Michigan community around research and scholarship focused on racial inequality, racial justice, and anti-racist praxis.

CREES Noon Lecture. Does Culture Matter? Complexity, Creativity, and Social Change in the Kyrgyz Republic (October 13, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86586 86586-21635101@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

Although culture is one of American anthropology’s signature analytical concepts, interest in the culture concept has waned in recent decades. In this talk, Professor Borbieva will discuss this phenomenon and its impact on the development projects she observed in Central Asia. Drawing on four years she worked in Kyrgyzstan as a development professional and ethnographer, she argues that the lack of cultural anthropologists’ influence on the topic of culture has, at least in the development sector, empowered simplistic and ethnocentric (and familiar) discourses about diversity and social change. To effectively counteract these discourses, however, cultural anthropologists must update their understanding of culture. This can be done by incorporating insights from the latest research in biological anthropology and systems theory. If today’s popular usage of culture justifies one-size-fits-all visions of human well-being, a reinvigorated understanding of culture will be able to inform more constructive development interventions in Central Asia and beyond.

Noor O’Neill Borbieva is professor of anthropology at Purdue University Fort Wayne. Her research on gender, religious change, and the development sector in the former Soviet Union has been published in numerous journals, including *Slavic Review*, *Central Asian Survey*, and *Anthropological Quarterly*. Her book, *Visions of Development in Central Asia: Revitalizing the Culture Concept*, was published by Lexington Books in 2019.

This is an in-person event for U-M students, faculty, and staff only. You may participate remotely by registering at: http://myumi.ch/r8Mr8

Spatial Dynamic Microsimulations

Estimation of regional transition probabilities for spatial dynamic microsimulations from survey data lacking in regional detail

Spatial dynamic microsimulations allow for the multivariate analysis of complex systems with geographic segmentation. A synthetic replica of the system is stochastically projected into future periods using micro-level transition probabilities. These should accurately represent the dynamics of the system to allow for reliable simulation outcomes. In practice, transition probabilities are unknown and must be estimated from suitable survey data. This can be challenging when the dynamics vary locally. Survey data often lacks in regional detail due to confidentiality restrictions and limited sampling resources. In that case, transition probability estimates may misrepresent regional dynamics due to insufficient local observations and coverage problems. The simulation process subsequently fails to provide an authentic evolution of the system. A constrained maximum likelihood approach for probability alignment to solve these issues is proposed. It accounts for regional heterogeneity in transition dynamics through the consideration of external benchmarks from administrative records. It is proven that the method is consistent. A parametric bootstrap for uncertainty estimation is presented. Simulation experiments are conducted to compare the approach with an existing method for probability alignment. Furthermore, an empirical application to labor force estimation based on the German Microcensus is provided.

Racial Microaggressions (October 13, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85387 85387-21626349@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Racial microaggressions can be uniquely harmful to their targets, and yet we often times find ourselves skirting around this subset of microaggressions due to discomfort in openly discussing race, racism, and white supremacy. In this workshop we hope to foster an intellectually humble environment within which to unpack racial microaggressions, address common barriers to intervening when a racial microaggressions is inflicted, and provide tools for successfully intervening in the future.
Learning objectives:

Identify elements of systemic racism and understand it’s compounding nature, and connect how systemic racism creates a breeding ground for racial microagressions Identify racial microagressions and intervene to disrupt their impact
Practice emotional self-awareness by identifying emotional barriers to intervening to disrupt a racial microagression

This workshop is part of the Rackham North Workshop Series although graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from all campuses are welcome to attend.
This workshop is designed for master’s students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

Social Brown Bag: Adherence to Norms for Emotions is Greater in more Individualist Cultures: Re-evaluating Cultural Individualism using large Cross-Cultural Datasets (October 13, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86053 86053-21631244@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Psychology

Abstract:
Social norms are the unwritten rules shared by members of a culture which guide social coordination and whose violation can lead to social sanctions. Adherence to social norms has been assumed to be weaker in more individualist cultures, which purportedly prioritize the individual over the group. However, an alternative perspective is that individualism is characterized by valuing subjective states such as emotions. If this perspective is correct, adherence to norms for emotions should be greater in more individualist cultures. I will present evidence from studies across several dozen countries and 200,000+ participants showing that: 1) adherence to emotion norms is greater in more individualist cultures; 2) deviating from the emotion norms of one’s culture is more detrimental to well-being in more individualist cultures; and 3) Immigrants from more individualist cultures adopt the emotion norms of natives faster. A final study further demonstrates that the association between individualism-collectivism and adherence to five distinct social norms is highly variable. Taken together, these findings suggest that individualism is characterized more by valuing and attending to subjective states than by prioritizing the individual over the group.

The Evolution and Human Adaptation Program (EHAP) at the University of Michigan is proud to present our fall 2021 speaker series:

Abstract:
Like other traits, social behavior is partially shaped by genes. Unlike many other types of traits, social behavior can have powerful reciprocal effects on the genome. In this talk, I will discuss the intimate ties between genes and social behavior using examples from my lab’s research on wild and captive primates. Our work on social regulation of the genome highlights how genomic approaches contribute to understanding the links between social interactions, health, and fitness, including the distinct pathways that respond to competitive versus affiliative social relationships. Meanwhile, our work on hybridization in wild baboons illustrates the value of behavioral data for interpreting patterns embedded in the genome. Integrating genomic and behavioral data can therefore unify organismal perspectives on life history and evolution with molecular approaches that provide insight unattainable via observational methods.

*Note: This talk will be available via Zoom livestream and also in person.

Mindfulness Meditation is a skill that can be learned and when practiced has the power to enhance a sense of wellbeing, focus, and interconnectedness. As we all continue to navigate uncertainty and challenges that are inherent in the act of being human, we benefit from and are grateful for diverse cultures and traditions across the globe. Collectively they have passed on a wide variety of contemplative practices that encourage reflection, silence, and centering into the present moment to help us cope and better respond. Engaging in contemplative practices support the individual, by cultivating a sense of awareness and well-being, and benefit society by enhancing one’s capacity to create connection and community, and to become an agent of positive social change. There are many forms of contemplative practices, including meditation. Mindfulness meditation is one form aimed to help focus our awareness on the present moment as it unfolds, moment to moment, without judgment. Research on mindfulness continues to find a wide range of benefits. In short, Mindfulness may be viewed as cognitive training that bolsters our ability to handle stress, poor mood, and threat. It also increases our capacity to focus our attention on what is most important to us and to be more compassionate to ourselves and to others.

On Wednesdays from 12:15 - 12:45 pm, we come together in community to practice this skill in an open and supportive virtual space. Whether you are new to mindfulness meditation or are an experienced practitioner each session is designed to offer guidance and support to assist you. Join this supportive community and experience the gift of present moment awareness.

Have you ever received a medical diagnosis that redefined your life? Perhaps you were staring intently at scans or maybe only listening to the sound of your doctor’s voice, but in that split second, your reality changed.

Some of us became patients and others, caregivers, as the diagnosis took its place in our lives. We carry these stories in our hearts. This workshop, led by Instructor Diane Nash, provides an opportunity to construct a narrative from a collection of memories. It is not a support group. It is a writing workshop designed to help you reflect on and write about your experience. Through extemporaneous writings you will craft the story of the time illness entered your life.

This study group will meet on Wednesdays for four weeks beginning on October 13. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.

Labor Economics and Macroeconomics: Female Labor Force Participation and Intergenerational Mobility With Jørgen Modalsli, M. Daniele Paserman and Laura Salisbury (October 13, 2021 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87625 87625-21644543@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 2:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Economics

Abstract:
This paper explores the connection between intergenerational economic mobility and the entry of women into the labor force. We propose a simple statistical model of intergenerational transmission, in which children’s human capital is a function of parental money and time inputs. We derive the father-son (and father-daughter) intergenerational elasticities (IGEs) under two regimes: one in which mothers devote all their time to childrearing, and one in which mothers split their time between market work and childrearing. We find that the impact of mothers’ entry into the labor force on the father-child IGE depends on three key factors: (i) the nature of sorting in the marriage market; (ii) the relative importance of parental time and money in the determination of child’s earnings; and (iii) selection of mothers into labor force participation. We discuss the circumstances under which the entry of mothers into the labor force may have contributed to a decline in the father-son and father-daughter IGEs in Norway.
We empirically and theoretically relate the U-shaped labour supply to the process of structural transformation, and namely the reallocation of labour from female-intensive agriculture into male-intensive manufacturing at early stages of development, and from manufacturing into female-intensive services at later stages. We propose a multisector model of the economy, where the interplay between un-even productivity growth and consumption complementarities across sectors predicts the modernization of agriculture and decline of family farms, the rise in manufacturing and services, and the marketization of home production. The downward portion of the U-shaped pattern is associated with the decline in agricultural employment and the disappearance of the family farm, while the upward portion is driven by the expansion of the service economy, to the detriment of manufacturing, and the marketization of home production.

MIPSE Seminar | Scaling Intense Laser-Atom Interactions from Low to High Frequency (October 13, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86289 86289-21632590@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Abstract:
Over the past three decades, the tailoring of a light field for manipulating the dynamics of a system at the quantum level has taken a prevalent role in modern atomic, molecular and optical physics. As first described by L. V. Keldysh, the ionization of an atom by an intense laser field will evolve depending upon the light characteristics and atomic binding energy. Numerous experiments have systematically investigated the dependence of the intensity and pulse duration on the ionization dynamics. However, exploration of the wavelength dependence has been mainly confined to wavelengths near 1 μm, or in the language of Keldysh to the multiphoton or mixed ionization regime. It is technically possible to perform more thorough test the strong-field limit (tunneling), and exploit the scaling laws at wavelengths greater than 1 μm. In addition, the emergence of XFELs has broadened the scope into the x-ray regime. This new perspective on strong-field interactions is driving a renewed interest in the fundamental physics and a renaissance in applications. This talk will examine the implication of the strong-field scaling as it pertains to the production of energetic particles, the generation of attosecond pulses and molecular imaging.

The quantum Hall effect, an unexpected discovery at 2 a.m. on the 5th of February 1980 led to my Nobel Prize in 1985 and to a realization of a resistance standard based on fundamental constants. Since fundamental constants are the most stable quantities in our universe, a new international system of units based on constants of nature was introduced in 2019. The talk presents an overview of the quantum Hall effect and this importance for our new definition of the mass unit kilogram.

Abstract:

Understanding the genetic and molecular architecture of human disease is accelerated by robust model development and large-scale molecular profiling. I will present two studies leveraging big data analytics or automated machine learning to dissect human disease complexities: 1) Molecular and clinical signatures of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the US marines. This analysis revealed strong antiviral innate immunity set point in females contributing to sex differences in both molecular and clinical response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. A set of accurate biomarkers capable of detecting PCR false negative infections was implemented on small footprint devices. 2) Automated machine learning to interpret the effects of genetic variants. An automated framework, AMBER, was developed for efficiently searching neural network architectures to model genomic sequences. AMBER is useful in various biological applications, including fine mapping variants, partitioning genetic heritability, and in personalized medicine enabled by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Together, these efforts demonstrate quantitative methods coupled with large-scale biomedical data as an effective avenue to decode human regulatory and disease biology.

Short Bio:

Frank Zhang is a Flatiron research fellow with Olga Troyanskaya at the Simons Foundation and Princeton University since 2019. Prior to that, he obtained his PhD at UCLA with Yi Xing.

Translocas: The Politics of Puerto Rican Drag and Trans Performance (October 13, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84840 84840-21625173@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Discussants:
- David Caron, Professor, French and Women's and Gender Studies, U-M
- Holly Hughes, Professor, Art & Design, Theater and Drama, and Women's and Gender Studies, U-M

Translocas: The Politics of Puerto Rican Drag and Trans Performance, written by Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes and published in 2021 by the University of Michigan Press, focuses on drag and transgender performance and activism in Puerto Rico and its diaspora. Arguing for its political potential, La Fountain-Stokes explores the social and cultural disruptions caused by Latin American and Latinx “locas” (effeminate men, drag queens, transgender performers, and unruly women) and the various forms of violence to which queer individuals in Puerto Rico and the U.S. are subjected. This interdisciplinary, auto-ethnographic, queer-of-color performance studies book explores the lives and work of contemporary performers and activists, television programs, films, and literary works. La Fountain-Stokes, a drag performer himself, demonstrates how each destabilizes (and sometimes reifies) dominant notions of gender and sexuality through drag and their embodied transgender expression. These performances provide a means to explore and critique issues of race, class, poverty, national identity, and migratory displacement while they posit a relationship between audiences and performers that has a ritual-like, communal dimension. The author also pays careful attention to transgender experience, highlighting how trans activists and performers mold their bodies, promote social change, and create community in a context that oscillates between glamour and abjection.

This event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works, New Questions series, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.

The Donia Human Rights Center will follow state, local, and University of Michigan guidelines for in-person events.

The decade-long civil war in Syria has been characterized by human rights atrocities on an enormous scale, including the deaths, disappearances, forced displacement, and torture of tens of thousands of Syrians. What are the possibilities for gathering evidence of such atrocities and holding individuals accountable for them? These questions will be explored by the founder and director of the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre (SJAC), which collects and preserves evidence of human rights abuses committed by all parties to the decade-long conflict. We will explore the opportunities for and and barriers to safeguarding forensic evidence and the historical record and generating new approaches to transitional justice based on the unique needs of Syrians. These challenges include the obstacles to documenters on the ground as well as the proper role of international and foreign organizations in accountability processes.

Featuring: Mohammad Al Abdallah, Executive Director, Syria Justice and Accountability Centre

Commentator: Leigh Pearce, PhD, MPH, Professor, Epidemiology, U-M School of Public Health

This event is co-sponsored by: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies, Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy Weiser Diplomacy Center and International Policy Center, Law School Center for International and Comparative Law, and U-M School of Public Health.

Getting into college for disadvantaged students is only half the battle. Dr. Anthony Abraham Jack discusses students he's named the Privileged Poor: lower income students at elite college campuses. He reveals how and why they struggle and explains what schools can do differently if these students are to thrive. He urges us to grapple with a simple fact: access ain't inclusion.

Anthony Abraham Jack is currently a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows, an Assistant Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and the Shutzer Assistant Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. His research documents overlooked diversity among lower-income undergraduates: the doubly disadvantaged – those who enter college from local, typically distressed public high schools – and the privileged poor – those who do so from boarding, day, and preparatory high schools.

His scholarship appears in The Common Reader, Du Bois Review, Sociological Forum, and Sociology of Education, and has earned awards from the Association of American Publishers, American Sociological Association, American Educational Studies Association, Association for the Study of Higher Education, Eastern Sociological Society, and the Society for the Study of Social Problems. Tony held fellowships from the Ford Foundation and the National Science Foundation and was a 2015 National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation Dissertation Fellow. The National Center for Institutional Diversity at the University of Michigan named him a 2016 Emerging Diversity Scholar. In 2020, Muhlenberg College awarded him an honorary degree for his work in transforming higher education.

The New York Times, Boston Globe, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Nation, American Conservative Magazine, The National Review, The Washington Post, CNN, Vice, Vox, and NPR have featured his research and writing as well as biographical profiles of his experiences as a first-generation college student. His first book, The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Poor Students was awarded the 2020 Mirra Komarovsky Book Award, 2019 CEP Mildred Garcia Award (Junior) for Exemplary Scholarship, and the Thomas J. Wilson Memorial Prize and also named a NPR Book’s best Book of 2019.

Suzzy Roche & Lucy Wainwright Roche (October 13, 2021 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84251 84251-21620809@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

*By purchasing a ticket you agree that you and your guests will comply with all laws, orders, ordinances, regulations and health and safety guidance adopted by the State of Michigan, the County of Washtenaw and The Ark, including any guidelines in place at the time of the show. Attendees who do not comply will be asked to leave. Policies will be updated as circumstances and requirements change in our community. Please review The Ark’s current COVID-related information before attending a show.*

After a lifetime of performing and recording with The Roches and as a solo performer these days Suzzy enjoys singing on the road with her daughter Lucy Wainwright Roche. Suzzy also performs with The Wooster Group (thewoostergroup.org) most recently in: A Pink Chair (in place of a fake antique), Early Shaker Spirituals ~ a record album interpretation , and The Room by Harold Pinter

Suzzy is a founding member of the singing group The Roches. She has written two books; a novel Wayward Saints and The Town Crazy, and a children's book Want To Be in a Band?

In addition to recording numerous albums with The Roches, Suzzy has recorded two solo albums, and an unusual collection of musical prayers, Zero Church (with Maggie Roche), which was developed at the Institute on the Arts and Civic Dialogue at Harvard University

Suzzy has taught performance at NYU graduate and undergraduate schools and at Princeton University in the Atelier Program

Those familiar with Lucy Wainwright Roche are aware of her bell tone voice, her unshakable melodies, and her knack for wise, wry lyrics that clench the heart. It’s no surprise that Wainwright Roche is the daughter of Suzzy Roche (The Roches) and Loudon Wainwright III, half sibling to Rufus and Martha Wainwright. She grew up steeped in music.

But Lucy has carved out her own career as a touring singer/songwriter and recording artist, having sold over 50 thousand copies of her four critically acclaimed solo recordings released on her own label: Eight Songs, Eight More, Lucy, and There’s a Last Time for Everything. Other recordings include a collaboration with her sister Martha Wainwright on Songs In the Dark, a collection of lullabies, and two duet recordings with her mother Suzzy Roche: Fairytale and Myth (winner of Vox Pop Independent Music Awards), Mud and Apples, and most recently I Can Still Hear You released in October 2020.

For over a decade, as a solo act, armed with a guitar, a deadpan sense of humor, killer songs, and a voice that makes tough guys cry, she’s built a solid following across the US and Europe. As an opening act she has often appeared with such luminaries as The Indigo Girls, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Neko Case, and she’s one of a few who can step out alone in front of a thousand strangers and play an entire set to a rapt audience.

Realm of the Dead (October 14, 2021 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86446 86446-21634331@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 14, 2021 8:00am
Location:
Organized By: School of Social Work

Realm of the Dead is an installation/performance, freely adapted from Rogério Pinto’s award-winning play, Marília, about his sister who died in an accident in the street outside the family home when she was three years old and he just tenth months. Comprising a solo performance and an installation that serves as a set for that performance, Realm of the Dead is grounded in the work of the Brazilian theater artist Augusto Boal and in autoethnographic social work research and practice. These methodologies are recommended as vehicles for critical reflection, self-healing, personal growth, and advocacy.

The Realm of the Dead installation comprises more than thirty suitcases, each reflecting an aspect of Pinto’s multiple physical and spiritual journeys and representing the cemetery where Marília is buried. The performance, directed by Erwin Maas, also includes autobiographical material and explorations of ethnicity, race, gender, class, and other identities. The autoethnographic content of the piece has been reformatted into workshops for students at the University of Michigan’s School of Social Work.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

In this RC Art Gallery exhibit, Residential College and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design Professor of Art Susan Crowell presents, among other works, a series of wall plaques depicting endangered species. In Professor Crowell's effort to, "...question our interactions with the animal world and our impact upon it," she has installed images of elephants and donkeys as protagonists and antagonists in political struggle, and polar bears as victims of global warming.

"Animal/ Vegetable/Mineral presents an occasion to speak about my most compelling interests—plants and animals--within the mineral rubrics of clay," she says.

This event is free and open to the public. Masks are required for all attendees. Vaccination is not required but highly encouraged. All attendees must complete a short questionnaire at https://responsiblue.umich.edu/sign-in before entering East Quadrangle.

Susan Crowell is Professor of Art at the University of Michigan, where she teaches ceramics and holds a joint appointment in the Residential College and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. A Fulbright Scholar, she studied architectural ceramics at Centro Internazionale di Ceramica in Rome and directed and taught in the University of Michigan’s Program in Florence. Prof. Crowell conducts research and exhibits her work locally, nationally and internationally. She has presented projects and exhibitions in Canada (at Banff), Japan (at Shigaraki and Miyazaki), Italy (Rome, Venice and Florence), Taiwan, Denmark and China, as well as in France and the United States, and she has participated in a variety of international venues and residencies. In 2005 Crowell published I Compianti Sul Christo Morto: Lamentation Groupings in Northern Italy to illuminate the distinguished history of ceramic materials in Quattrocento devotional and didactic sculpture, and to bring an understanding of their use and potential to contemporary ceramics practitioners. In April of 2016 Prof. Crowell exhibited her work in the conservatories of the Matthaei Botanical Gardens at the University of Michigan, and in May of 2017, at the Alden Dow Gardens in Midland, MI. In 2018 she conducted residencies and research at the Jean Noble Parsons Center for the Study of Art and Science in northern Michigan, and at A.I.R. Vallauris in Vallauris, France, where she exhibited her work in La chapelle de la place Lisnard that October.

For ten years, Crowell’s research and artistic practice has focused upon pollen forms and the process of pollination. Deploying her appreciation of the role of technology in revealing the natural world, she applies the science and aesthetics of botany and apiculture toward the creation of ceramic sculpture, using cast and hand-built forms. In doing so, Prof. Crowell presents an expanded view of pollen within the problematics of industrialized honey production, global commerce in apicultural products, and genetically modified crops.. More recently, she has created Thinning the Herd, an installation of animal forms that addresses endangered species, and Oppositional, a commentary on contemporary political behavior in the United States.

Organized By: University Library

Buying Home, Selling America: the House Catalog, 1906-1966 brings to light the collection of house catalogs in the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library’s Special Collections. Focusing primarily on the kit house industry of Michigan and the Midwest, the catalogs provide a portal to explore multiple themes, such as, the Michigan house catalog industry, changing architectural styles, the business of selling homes, societal and cultural implications, and domestic technologies. We hope the exhibit is not simply a nostalgic view back, but raises awareness of our domestic surroundings today and compels us to ask questions as we look to the future.

The exhibit is available in the Clark Library (second floor Hatcher) during Hatcher Library hours.

International Institute Conference on Gender and Health in Global, Transnational, and Historical Perspectives

Thursday, October 14, 9 AM-5 PM
Zoom Webinar. Please register at https://myumi.ch/2D2lP

Free and open to the public.

Few would disagree that gender matters for understanding health, healthcare delivery, and health-related policies, particularly as gender intersects with other social and geopolitical categories in generating inequalities and inequities in disease, mortality, access to health care, and so forth. Most observers are also very aware that gender is critical to understanding the many social and environmental determinants of health, such as economic development, access to clean air and water, the impact of climate change, access to education, among others. Yet we still have much to learn about the relationship between gender and health across varying geographic and temporal contexts, such that we might be able to grapple with the relationships of gender and health within a global or transnational perspective or to understand the historical underpinnings of these relationships.

This interdisciplinary and geographically wide-ranging conference aims to bring together scholars from public health and the humanities, from the medical sciences and the social sciences, whose areas of research will help us consider past and present relationships of gender and health.

How can we shore up our financial system to be more inclusive?What role can the Federal Reserve play in facilitating access to credit?

Please join the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco on Thursday, October 14, 2021 for a virtual event, Equitable Access to Small Business Credit.

In the wake of COVID-19, the strength of our economy will largely depend on the economic recovery of our small businesses. But the uneven distribution of pandemic relief has highlighted the limitations of our current financial system to equitably deploy resources at scale.

In an effort to increase access to small business credit for underserved communities, including low-income communities and communities of color, the San Francisco Fed is initiating an ongoing effort to dive deeper into the problem, identify possible solutions, and explore the potential options for action.

Nineteenth Century Fashion in Print (October 14, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/87516 87516-21642907@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 14, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University Library

Learn about various aspects of fashion design, advertisement, and representation in the print and periodical culture of the 19th century. Speakers and topics:

John Finkelberg, Graduate Student Fellow at the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies and PhD Candidate in History at the University of Michigan, examines the collaborative advertisements of the Parisian tailor Pierre Ferdinand Humann and the celebrated illustrator Paul Gavarni for the popular illustrated daily Le Charivari from 1839 to 1845. In examining how Humann and Gavarni mobilized idealized images of masculine intimacy in their advertisements, he'll show how fashion journals taught men to think about their clothing as a way of navigating social and political concerns during the July Monarchy.

Marina Kliger, Eugene V. Thaw Fellow for Collections Cataloguing, Department of European Paintings, Metropolitan Museum of Art, addresses the relationship between early 19th-century French women's fashion journals and a feminine historical consciousness rooted in the femmes illustres tradition. She examines historical references in the nomenclature of fashionable dress alongside information about women’s history that appeared in various publications aimed at a female audience in order to understand how women used revivalist elements of dress to fashion their own identities, particularly in portrait commissions.

Courtney Wilder, Jane and Morgan Whitney Fellow in European Sculpture and Decorative Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art, analyzes a succession of hand-colored lithographs published by the French graphic artist Henry Monnier (1799–1895) in the mid- to late-1820s that can be linked by their inclusion of an almost surreal-looking and highly fashionable rainbow-dyed shawl. These lithographs, she argues, demonstrate the movement of artists, fashions, images, medias, and technologies between Paris and London during these years, while also encapsulating Monnier’s positioning of the new medium of lithography as uniquely capable of commenting critically upon the ephemeral nature of modern life, especially an increasingly pervasive commodity culture that included both fashionable accessories and printed representations of them.

Susan Siegfried, Professor Emerita, Denise Riley Collegiate Professor of the History of Art and Women's Studies, University of Michigan, will moderate the event.

This event, part of a continuing Virtual Encounters in Book History series begun a year ago, was organized by Juli McLoone, University of Michigan, and Benito Rial Costas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

By participating in WeListen sessions, staff members will:
- Expand understanding of a prominent political topic

Respond / Resist / Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition (October 14, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84617 84617-21632387@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 14, 2021 11:00am

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Over the last 12-18 months, the world has wit­nessed the bru­tal impact of the COVID-19 pan­demic com­pounded by sys­temic racism as it pro­lif­er­ated across the US, threat­en­ing to sti­fle its vibrant and diverse soci­ety. Stu­dents and youth in the US and glob­ally have been at the fore­front of social change devis­ing mod­els of inclu­sion and care for those deeply impacted by the pan­demic and racial and envi­ron­men­tal inequities.
Stamps Gallery invited stu­dents at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to design posters and make videos that respond to the prompt: what change would you like to see in your community? Stamps students created meaningful posters and video work that will be featured in Respond/​Resist/​Rethink 2021: A Stu­dent Poster & Video Exhi­bi­tion.
Why posters & video?
For gen­er­a­tions, posters have served as an effec­tive tool to cir­cu­late ideas and mes­sages to the pub­lic. Visu­ally strik­ing, and designed to draw atten­tion from passersby, posters can be con­ver­sa­tion starters, invite peo­ple to pause, reflect, spread the word, get involved. They have been a pow­er­ful medium for many con­cep­tual artists and graphic design­ers to cre­ate pow­er­ful images and mes­sages that could respond to imme­di­ate issues and be dis­trib­uted widely.
Sim­i­larly, video art was another excit­ing imme­di­ate medium for con­cep­tual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the tech­nol­ogy became more acces­si­ble to the masses. Video art pro­vided an alter­na­tive to the dom­i­nant broad­cast­ing cor­po­ra­tions. Artists made exper­i­men­tal films, recorded per­for­mances, and first-per­son nar­ra­tives that were then exhib­ited and screened at gal­leries, muse­ums, and events. Posters and videos con­tinue to be salient fea­tures in the 21st Cen­tury to respond to urgent issues and ques­tions fac­ing the present moment.
Respond / Resist / Rethink asks the UM com­mu­nity to come together to envi­sion mod­els for inclu­sion that are grounded in equal­ity, belong­ing, and empathy. The work featured in the exhibition were selected through an open call by a com­mit­tee comprising Stamps fac­ulty, stu­dents, and staff includ­ing Julianna Lew, David Chung, Najwat Rehman, Albert Che, and Stamps Gallery staff.

Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data (October 14, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84616 84616-21625752@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 14, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Stamps Gallery is proud to present the first survey of renowned transmedia artist Stephanie Dinkins, who creates platforms for dialogue about artificial intelligence as it intersects race, gender, aging, and our future histories.
Through her work, Dinkins has become a central figure nationally and internationally recognized for exposing bias and inequity within artificial intelligence systems. Weaving together art production and exhibition, community-based workshops and public speaking all with the intention of encouraging action towards making artificial intelligence systems more inclusive, accessible and transparent.
In this exhibition, Dinkins will debut new and interactive installations and workshops that build on her concept of Afro-now-ism. In this poetic manifesto-like text, Dinkins asks her audience, particularly from communities of color, to not only confront the litany of violences that humans have wielded upon one another based on the institutional and social constructions of race, caste, class, and gender to maintain status quo and the current systems of power - but rise above it by taking action to start building the world that they desire.
She writes: “Instead of waiting to reach the proverbial promised land, also known as a time in the future that may or may not manifest in your lifetime, Afro-now-ism is taking the leap and the risks to imagine and define oneself beyond systemic oppression... For black people in particular, it means conceiving yourself in the space of free and expansive thought and acting from a critically integrated space, allowing for more community-sustaining work.”
Through her installations and workshops Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data develops a dialogue with the audience on the hierarchies embedded within machine learning and AI architecture and one's individual agency in transforming the algorithms within it. The audience will explore and participate in creating a more inclusive data-based narrative of what governance of the people, by the people and for the people can look like in an AI mediated world where care is encoded within our digital civic system.

In the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC), we seek to understand the acute exercise response at the molecular level. In our first multi-omics dataset—a 15 tissue dataset from 6-month-old rats—there was evidence that circadian rhythms were contributing to data signatures, and thus, our ability to differentiate these circadian patterns from our primary measurement—the acute exercise response. To quantify the effects, we created distinct models for acute exercise response and circadian rhythm. We combined the models and allowed them to simultaneously compete for the percent variance explained of gene expression patterns in bulk RNA sequencing data. Analyses were performed on every gene and every tissue. Preliminary evidence suggests that our models were on the right track; for instance, the variances of many known circadian genes (in human and mouse) were primarily explained by the circadian model. However, more analyses are required to rigorously vet these models. We hope these techniques of competing models encourage others to employ similar strategies to distinguish unintended cofounding factors in experiments.

This presentation will be held in 2036 Palmer Commons. There will also be a remote viewing option via Zoom.

LSI Seminar Series: Ahna Skop, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison (October 14, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87901 87901-21647478@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 14, 2021 12:00pm

Abstract:
The midbody is a transient structure at the spindle midzone that is required for the terminal stage of cell division, cytokinesis. Long ignored as a vestigial remnant of cytokinesis, emerging data suggest midbodies are released from post-mitotic cells as a large 2um extracellular vesicles, which can modulate cell fate decisions, proliferative state, tissue polarity, cilia formation, neuronal architecture and function, and oncogenesis.

Our ‘structure reveals function’ approach first demonstrated that the midbody matrix — a mysterious electron-dense region of unknown composition — is the assembly site of a phase-separated biomolecular condensate, enriched for mRNAs encoding proteins involved in cytokinesis, oncogenesis and pluripotency regulation, including transcription factors. Hexanediol-sensitivity and FRAP analysis confirmed that the midbody matrix exhibits biophysical properties expected of an RNP condensate. SUnSET analysis of protein synthesis showed that both the mitotic and post-mitotic midbody are sites of recent translation. Consistent with this, ribosomal subunits and elongation factors co-localize with puromycin labeling in a ring structure surrounding the midbody RNA core. We discovered that translation of midbody-enriched mRNAs is under tight temporal regulation, beginning in G1 after cells have formally exited mitosis, and continues after the midbody is abscised and released extracellularly from the daughters that birthed it.

Our data suggest a model in which the midbody functions as a novel organelle with a complex life cycle comprised of both membraneless and membrane-bound phases: 1) an RNP condensate is assembled at the spindle overlap; 2) spatiotemporally regulated translation is initiated as the daughter cells leave mitosis and reenter G1; 3) abscission occurs and the membrane-bound RNP granule is released; 4) the midbody is bound, internalized, and transfers information to recipient cells.

About the Speaker:
Ahna Skopis a geneticist, artist, author and a winner of the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). Her lab seeks to understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie asymmetric cell division. In 2004, she pioneered proteomic and genomic approaches to identify novel cell division proteins by utilizing biochemically purified midbodies, which was published in Science. More recently, the lab has discovered that the midbody is a translationally active RNA containing organelle. The Skop lab’s focus now is to determine how this signaling organelle behaves as novel form of intercellular communication in mammalian cancer and stem cells.

Understanding how cells divide is highly dependent on in vivo microscopy and large amounts of visual data, which dovetails perfectly with one of her other passions: art. The combination of scientist and artist inspires her to think differently and maintain an open mind. Some of her work can be seen in the main entrance of the Genetics/Biotechnology Center building on the UW-Madison campus with a 40-foot scientific art piece called “Genetic Reflections.” She has also curated and contributed to a traveling exhibition of scientific art called “TINY: Art from microscopes” from the UW-Madison campus, and she has organized the bi-annual Worm Art Show for the International C. elegans Meeting for over 26 years.

Skop is also passionate about increasing the numbers of underrepresented students in STE(A)M fields. In 2016, she was awarded the very first of two, Chancellor’s Inclusive Excellence Award for her outreach and inclusive teaching efforts. She has served as a board member for SACNAS (Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science) and currently serves on the ASCB (American Association for Cell Biologists) Minority Affairs Committee, where she has broadened her impact on underrepresented students in science nationally. Her recent book, “Genetic Reflections”, showcases the beauty of genetics, model organism biology, and DNA.

Skop majored in biology and minored in ceramics as an undergraduate student at Syracuse University. She received her Ph.D. in cell and molecular biology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and conducted her post-doctoral work at UC-Berkeley. She is now a professor in the Department of Genetics and an affiliate faculty member in Life Sciences Communication and the UW-Madison Arts Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She mentors both scientists and art students in her lab, and also serves on the board of the Wisconsin Science Museum, where many of her art-science collaborations are on display. In 2008, she was awarded an honorary doctorate of science from the College of St. Benedicts and was named a Remarkable Women in Science from the AAAS. In 2015, she was honored as a Kavli Fellow from the National Academy of Sciences. In 2018, she was awarded the first ever Inclusive Excellence Award by the ASCB and HHMI. She currently serves as an advisor to the chief diversity officer at the NIH, and is a diversity consultant to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI). In 2019, she was honored as one of 125 Women in STEM with an AAAS IF/THEN Ambassadorship. In 2020, she published a book with her two talented undergraduates called “Genetic Reflections: A Coloring Book.” Her science and art have been featured by Apple, The Scientist, USA Today, Smithsonian, PBS.org, NPR and Science magazine. She has recently started an online science art home décor store with her family called skopology.com. One of her great hobbies is cooking/baking (including scientific cakes); and she also manages a foodblogs, foodskop.com, and her AAAS IF/THEN funded labculturerecipes.com.

The best laid plans can go awry with poorly thought through conclusions drawn from otherwise accurate data. Learn to identify misleading results (deliberate or accidental) in research with an exercise from the famous University of Washington course Calling Bullshit.

We'll look at an example from science media, from a researcher, and from an NIH report, each of which have serious but easy to miss errors but still got published. Just what is wrong with the papers? How did the editors neglect to find the issue with their conclusions? Why did the scientist who wrote up the results not see their own error? (spoiler alert- the answer to all these questions is usually bias or outright discrimination)

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Remember the days long ago when everyone hung their laundry out on the line to dry -- when folks went "online" without the internet? Instructor Anne Lawrence’s slide presentation will show why she (and so many others) love their clotheslines, will explain the lure of the line, and the lore that grew up around it.

There will be washday history, along with sociological issues, the role of feminism, industrialization, culture, and ecology involved. You may consider the clothesline in ways never before appreciated! The sharing of stories and memories will be encouraged. Let's hang out together -- Anne won't leave you hanging.

Anne has been a Clothesline Historian and Hobbyist for the past 40 years, collecting anything she can find that relates to laundry blowing in the wind on clotheslines, and since retiring, sharing her passion with those who remember.

Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.

Adults with pediatric-onset neurodevelopmental disabilities and skeletal disabilities are often challenged by bone fragility. We will discuss implications of skeletal fragility and fracture risk on health outcomes and quality of life over the lifespan. We will describe the physiology of bone development and how it differs in these disabilities, and the importance of considering bone size and mineralization as an innovative way of assessing fracture risk. This information forms the basis for discussing how bone strength is affected in various conditions, along with implications for treatment. Knowing the biological and biomechanical pathways to fragility can inform on novel and better ways to screen, monitor, and treat bone fragility based on the skeletal needs of the individual.

Chair's Distinguished Lecture: Multifidelity Approaches for Uncertainty Quantification (October 14, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88209 88209-21651373@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 14, 2021 3:00pm

Abstract:
Digital design and simulation tools have rapidly expanded to encompass a vast array of applications across science and engineering. Decision making approaches and engineering and scientific predictions increasingly relying on simulation models that exhibit enormous amounts of uncertainty. Whether you are predicting the drag on an aircraft or the spread of covid-19 -- the models that underpin predictions must begin to honestly consider model parameter uncertainty, environmental uncertainty, and input uncertainties to yield robust and reliable predictions. Uncertainty quantification (UQ) provides a paradigm for all aspects of managing this uncertainty in simulation models, including: forward uncertainty propagation, inverse problems, and experimental design. Nevertheless uncertainty quantification is expensive, requiring the evaluation of high-fidelity simulation models more times than is typically affordable. Reduced order models and surrogate models help to an extent -- but they can deviate from their high-fidelity counterparts in ways that introduce unacceptable bias.

Multifidelity approaches to UQ offer a promising alternative to minimize computational cost while maintaining the accuracy of a UQ analysis. In this talk we provide an overview of both sampling and surrogate-based multifidelity approaches. We dive into one specific approach for each one that offers significant promise of generality and that encompasses existing approaches. In the sampling context, we provide an overview of approximate control variates -- which enhance Monte Carlo methods for estimating statistics by treating lower-fidelity models as a correlated information source. In the surrogate context, we discuss MFNets: an approach to model the interactions between multifidelity information sources via a directed acyclic graph that is amenable to large-scale fast gradient-based learning. Throughout the presentation we will present results on both synthetic examples as well as prototypical PDE-based models.

Development and International Economics Seminar: Misallocation in Firm Production: A Nonparametric Test Using Procurement Lotteries (October 14, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87318 87318-21641048@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 14, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Lorch Hall
Organized By: Department of Economics

Abstract:
Is there misallocation in firm production, as we might expect to result from market power, contracting constraints, taxes, regulations, corruption, or other potential distortions? And if there is misallocation, how severe are its resulting welfare consequences? In this paper we propose a new test for misallocation that is nonparametric in the sense that it does not restrict any firm’s production technology, demand, market structure, or optimizing behavior. We also develop a new procedure to quantify losses from misallocation via a nonparametric instrumental variable random coefficient model. Our procedures exploit exogenous shocks that induce some firms to alter their input use and then measure the average level of, and cross-firm dispersion in, the rate at which firms’ output value increases, on the margin, for a given increase in inputs. We apply these results to a setting in which thousands of firms experience exogenous demand shocks due to a lottery-based assignment of public procurement contracts for construction services in Ecuador. Using monthly data on firm-to-firm transactions and employer-employee payments, a randomization inference version of our test rejects (at standard levels) the null of overall allocative efficiency (AE) but the costs of this misallocation appears to reduce aggregate output among this set of firms by only 1% relative to the first-best. This derives roughly half from an insufficient aggregate use of inputs and half from cross-firm dispersion in the marginal products of the inputs that are used. Standard parametric assumptions applied to the same setting would suggest losses that are many times larger.

EIHS Lecture: El Paso Mourning, El Paso in Recovery: Historical Lessons for Understanding Life and Loss in 2020 (October 14, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87130 87130-21639075@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 14, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Format: This event will take place via Zoom webinar. Register here: https://myumi.ch/E3O2b

Description: For people living in El Paso, Texas, loss and grief were twofold in 2020. People simultaneously had to protect themselves against COVID-19 and the rise of hate crimes fueled by xenophobia. Generations of border residents have had to mourn victims that died at the hands of white supremacy. They have also been subject to violence and abuse by doctors and officers who saw them not as patients, but as “diseased criminals.” Professor Martinez will discuss the striking similarities between the long, sordid history of US-Mexico border relations in the early twentieth century and recovery in the face of the twin crises of 2020.

Biography: Monica Muñoz Martinez is an award-winning author, educator, public historian, and active participant in developing solutions that address racial injustice. A national authority on the history of race, she is an associate professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research specializes in histories of racial violence, policing on the US-Mexico border, Latinx history, women and gender studies, public humanities, digital humanities, and restorative justice. Born and raised in Texas, Professor Martinez received her PhD in American studies from Yale University.

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

Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Arab and Muslim American Studies (AMAS)

Join Arab and Muslim American Studies as we welcome Assia Boundaoui for a screening of her film, The Feeling of Being Watched on October 14th, 2021 @ 5:00pm in 3512 Haven Hall.

In the Arab-American neighborhood outside of Chicago where director Assia Boundaoui grew up, most of her neighbors think they have been under surveillance for over a decade. While investigating their experiences, Assia uncovers tens of thousands of pages of FBI documents that prove her hometown was the subject of one of the largest counterterrorism investigations ever conducted in the U.S. before 9/11, code-named “Operation Vulgar Betrayal.” With unprecedented access, The Feeling of Being Watched weaves the personal and the political as it follows the filmmaker’s examination of why her community fell under blanket government surveillance. Assia struggles to disrupt the government secrecy shrouding what happened and takes the FBI to federal court to compel them to make the records they collected about her community public. In the process, she confronts long-hidden truths about the FBI’s relationship to her community. The Feeling of Being Watched follows Assia as she pieces together this secret FBI operation, while grappling with the effects of a lifetime of surveillance on herself and her family.

Book, Music, & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa (BM ‵87, music education and voice)
Directed by MiMi Scardulla
Music Direction by Jason DeBord

The setting is the roaring 1920s. Lovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party-to-end-all-parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the arrival of a slew of colorful guests living life on the edge, Queenie's wandering eye lands on a striking man named Mr. Black. As the decadence is reaching a climax, so is Burrs' jealousy, which erupts and sends him into a violent rage. Gun in hand and inhibitions abandoned, Burrs turns on Queenie and Black. The gun gets fired, but who's been shot?

A steamy prohibition tale, steamrolling and roaring its way across the stage, The Wild Party was an Off-Broadway gem that garnered an array of industry accolades, including Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Obie awards. Based on Joseph Moncure March's 1928 narrative poem of the same name, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written, courtesy of SMTD alumnus Andrew Lippa (The Addams Family, Big Fish).

"An eager, unapologetic sincerity flows from the heart of David Wilcox's acoustic music," says Rolling Stone. David Wilcox is a singer-songwriter whose music navigates a path through the confusion and pain, the emotional static of modern life. "I'm drawn to artists who disclose something about themselves and let you in their world," David says, and to a large extent he's one of them—yet contained within his warm voice and effortless guitar playing is a more general kind of hope, a life-affirming message that anyone can understand. David Wilcox believes that the right song at the right time changes people's lives. Since we saw him last, David has a new album, "The View from the Edge"

Realm of the Dead (October 15, 2021 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86446 86446-21634332@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 15, 2021 8:00am
Location:
Organized By: School of Social Work

Realm of the Dead is an installation/performance, freely adapted from Rogério Pinto’s award-winning play, Marília, about his sister who died in an accident in the street outside the family home when she was three years old and he just tenth months. Comprising a solo performance and an installation that serves as a set for that performance, Realm of the Dead is grounded in the work of the Brazilian theater artist Augusto Boal and in autoethnographic social work research and practice. These methodologies are recommended as vehicles for critical reflection, self-healing, personal growth, and advocacy.

The Realm of the Dead installation comprises more than thirty suitcases, each reflecting an aspect of Pinto’s multiple physical and spiritual journeys and representing the cemetery where Marília is buried. The performance, directed by Erwin Maas, also includes autobiographical material and explorations of ethnicity, race, gender, class, and other identities.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

In this RC Art Gallery exhibit, Residential College and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design Professor of Art Susan Crowell presents, among other works, a series of wall plaques depicting endangered species. In Professor Crowell's effort to, "...question our interactions with the animal world and our impact upon it," she has installed images of elephants and donkeys as protagonists and antagonists in political struggle, and polar bears as victims of global warming.

"Animal/ Vegetable/Mineral presents an occasion to speak about my most compelling interests—plants and animals--within the mineral rubrics of clay," she says.

This event is free and open to the public. Masks are required for all attendees. Vaccination is not required but highly encouraged. All attendees must complete a short questionnaire at https://responsiblue.umich.edu/sign-in before entering East Quadrangle.

Susan Crowell is Professor of Art at the University of Michigan, where she teaches ceramics and holds a joint appointment in the Residential College and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. A Fulbright Scholar, she studied architectural ceramics at Centro Internazionale di Ceramica in Rome and directed and taught in the University of Michigan’s Program in Florence. Prof. Crowell conducts research and exhibits her work locally, nationally and internationally. She has presented projects and exhibitions in Canada (at Banff), Japan (at Shigaraki and Miyazaki), Italy (Rome, Venice and Florence), Taiwan, Denmark and China, as well as in France and the United States, and she has participated in a variety of international venues and residencies. In 2005 Crowell published I Compianti Sul Christo Morto: Lamentation Groupings in Northern Italy to illuminate the distinguished history of ceramic materials in Quattrocento devotional and didactic sculpture, and to bring an understanding of their use and potential to contemporary ceramics practitioners. In April of 2016 Prof. Crowell exhibited her work in the conservatories of the Matthaei Botanical Gardens at the University of Michigan, and in May of 2017, at the Alden Dow Gardens in Midland, MI. In 2018 she conducted residencies and research at the Jean Noble Parsons Center for the Study of Art and Science in northern Michigan, and at A.I.R. Vallauris in Vallauris, France, where she exhibited her work in La chapelle de la place Lisnard that October.

For ten years, Crowell’s research and artistic practice has focused upon pollen forms and the process of pollination. Deploying her appreciation of the role of technology in revealing the natural world, she applies the science and aesthetics of botany and apiculture toward the creation of ceramic sculpture, using cast and hand-built forms. In doing so, Prof. Crowell presents an expanded view of pollen within the problematics of industrialized honey production, global commerce in apicultural products, and genetically modified crops.. More recently, she has created Thinning the Herd, an installation of animal forms that addresses endangered species, and Oppositional, a commentary on contemporary political behavior in the United States.

Organized By: University Library

Buying Home, Selling America: the House Catalog, 1906-1966 brings to light the collection of house catalogs in the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library’s Special Collections. Focusing primarily on the kit house industry of Michigan and the Midwest, the catalogs provide a portal to explore multiple themes, such as, the Michigan house catalog industry, changing architectural styles, the business of selling homes, societal and cultural implications, and domestic technologies. We hope the exhibit is not simply a nostalgic view back, but raises awareness of our domestic surroundings today and compels us to ask questions as we look to the future.

The exhibit is available in the Clark Library (second floor Hatcher) during Hatcher Library hours.

Please contact kotziers@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.


Whether it is a lever (Colson Whitehead) or a carpenter’s hammer (Flannery O’Connor), violence is as prevalent in serious fiction as it is in the world. As writers, we can’t ignore such. So how do we engage with violence, how (and when) do we depict it? And what are the ethical responsibilities and consequences of writing about violence in an already violent world? There are, of course, no definitive answers. Instead of answers, we’ll look at examples from a number of writers, among them Jesmyn Ward, J.M. Coetzee, Carmen Maria Machado, and Don DeLillo.

Powell is the author of seven novels, including *Small Treasons* (Gallery/Simon & Schuster 2017), and *Lioness*, forthcoming in 2022. He has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Breadloaf and Sewanee Writers’ Conferences, and twice from the Fulbright Foundation to Slovakia and Romania. He has written about southern music and culture for *The Oxford American*, the war in Ukraine for *The Daily Beast*, and his dog for *Garden & Gun*. In 2009, he received the Chaffin Award for Contributions to Appalachian Literature. At present, he is under contract for a graphic novel about Russian malign influence in the US election, and working on a novel about the prison system in Florida.

Powell has degrees from Yale Divinity School, the University of South Carolina, and the Citadel. He taught at Stetson University in Florida for eight years, where he directed and co-founded their Low-Residency MFA and ran a prison writing program at Lawtey Correctional Institute. Currently, he is an Associate Professor and Director of the Creative Writing Program at Appalachian State University. He lives in the mountains of western North Carolina with his wife, children, and dog.

Abstract: Many fundamental high-dimensional statistics estimators, such as best-subset selection (BSS), can be naturally expressed as discrete optimization problems. Recently, mixed integer programming (MIP) methods have been shown to be promising candidates for formulating and solving, small/moderate instances of these problems. This sheds interesting insights into some less-understood statistical aspects of BSS, suggesting the need to design new estimators. On the computational front, current high-performance commercial integer programming solvers are somewhat black-box and can be challenging to scale to large instances. I will discuss our recent work on tailored branch-and-bound methods to solve, to optimality, a family of regularized BSS problems with up to a million features. For the first time, we employ first-order convex optimization methods within a branch-and-bound framework to solve instances of regularized BSS that show speedups of over 5000X over commercial solvers. If time permits, I will discuss some ongoing work where statistical modeling considerations can lead to the design of computationally attractive MIP formulations in the context of the well-known sparse PCA problem.

Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have become a major force that impacts our daily lives in essential ways, from how political messaging and marketing are designed, to automating the process of deciding who gets hired or which neighborhood should be intensely patrolled. Big Data and AI can be an important agent for social justice and equality; or they can also be used to perpetuate injustice and hurt populations that are already disadvantaged and marginalized. Artists have been at the fore­front, together with scientists, in explor­ing ways in which AI sys­tems can be more equi­table, trans­par­ent and inclu­sive. This mini-symposium brings lead­ing voices in the field together, and is inspired by two projects at U-M:
Stephanie Dinkins: On
Love & Data, the first survey
exhibition of this prominent transmedia artist whose work creates platforms for
dialogue about AI as it intersects race, gender, aging and future histories.
This exhibit is organized by Stamps Gallery, Penny W. Stamps School of Art &

Respond / Resist / Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition (October 15, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84617 84617-21632388@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 15, 2021 11:00am

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Over the last 12-18 months, the world has wit­nessed the bru­tal impact of the COVID-19 pan­demic com­pounded by sys­temic racism as it pro­lif­er­ated across the US, threat­en­ing to sti­fle its vibrant and diverse soci­ety. Stu­dents and youth in the US and glob­ally have been at the fore­front of social change devis­ing mod­els of inclu­sion and care for those deeply impacted by the pan­demic and racial and envi­ron­men­tal inequities.
Stamps Gallery invited stu­dents at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design to design posters and make videos that respond to the prompt: what change would you like to see in your community? Stamps students created meaningful posters and video work that will be featured in Respond/​Resist/​Rethink 2021: A Stu­dent Poster & Video Exhi­bi­tion.
Why posters & video?
For gen­er­a­tions, posters have served as an effec­tive tool to cir­cu­late ideas and mes­sages to the pub­lic. Visu­ally strik­ing, and designed to draw atten­tion from passersby, posters can be con­ver­sa­tion starters, invite peo­ple to pause, reflect, spread the word, get involved. They have been a pow­er­ful medium for many con­cep­tual artists and graphic design­ers to cre­ate pow­er­ful images and mes­sages that could respond to imme­di­ate issues and be dis­trib­uted widely.
Sim­i­larly, video art was another excit­ing imme­di­ate medium for con­cep­tual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the tech­nol­ogy became more acces­si­ble to the masses. Video art pro­vided an alter­na­tive to the dom­i­nant broad­cast­ing cor­po­ra­tions. Artists made exper­i­men­tal films, recorded per­for­mances, and first-per­son nar­ra­tives that were then exhib­ited and screened at gal­leries, muse­ums, and events. Posters and videos con­tinue to be salient fea­tures in the 21st Cen­tury to respond to urgent issues and ques­tions fac­ing the present moment.
Respond / Resist / Rethink asks the UM com­mu­nity to come together to envi­sion mod­els for inclu­sion that are grounded in equal­ity, belong­ing, and empathy. The work featured in the exhibition were selected through an open call by a com­mit­tee comprising Stamps fac­ulty, stu­dents, and staff includ­ing Julianna Lew, David Chung, Najwat Rehman, Albert Che, and Stamps Gallery staff.

Stamps Gallery is proud to present the first survey of renowned transmedia artist Stephanie Dinkins, who creates platforms for dialogue about artificial intelligence as it intersects race, gender, aging, and our future histories.
Through her work, Dinkins has become a central figure nationally and internationally recognized for exposing bias and inequity within artificial intelligence systems. Weaving together art production and exhibition, community-based workshops and public speaking all with the intention of encouraging action towards making artificial intelligence systems more inclusive, accessible and transparent.
In this exhibition, Dinkins will debut new and interactive installations and workshops that build on her concept of Afro-now-ism. In this poetic manifesto-like text, Dinkins asks her audience, particularly from communities of color, to not only confront the litany of violences that humans have wielded upon one another based on the institutional and social constructions of race, caste, class, and gender to maintain status quo and the current systems of power - but rise above it by taking action to start building the world that they desire.
She writes: “Instead of waiting to reach the proverbial promised land, also known as a time in the future that may or may not manifest in your lifetime, Afro-now-ism is taking the leap and the risks to imagine and define oneself beyond systemic oppression... For black people in particular, it means conceiving yourself in the space of free and expansive thought and acting from a critically integrated space, allowing for more community-sustaining work.”
Through her installations and workshops Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data develops a dialogue with the audience on the hierarchies embedded within machine learning and AI architecture and one's individual agency in transforming the algorithms within it. The audience will explore and participate in creating a more inclusive data-based narrative of what governance of the people, by the people and for the people can look like in an AI mediated world where care is encoded within our digital civic system.

Analysis of Eneolithic (4600-3200 B.C.) Pottery from the Maliq Settlement, Albania (October 15, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87841 87841-21647147@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 15, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

The multi-period site of Maliq is one of the main prehistoric sites in Albania. The archaeological material collected during many years of excavations in the Maliq settlement has yielded valuable information about the prehistory of Albania, especially for the Eneolithic period. Based on radiocarbon dating, the Eneolithic period in Maliq began around 4600-4500 BC. The Eneolithic period corresponds with Maliq II, divided into two phases: Maliq IIa and IIb. The analyzed ceramic assemblage included published and unpublished pottery. This study aimed to create a typological classification, examine decoration techniques, and use petrographic analysis to pinpoint the potential raw material sources. The variety and richness of the forms and decoration techniques give insights into the relationships of Maliq II culture with other contemporaneous neighboring cultures of the Balkans. The local development of Eneolithic culture is evident at Maliq, while foreign, intrusive elements did not play a substantial role in this process.

The 1918 influenza pandemic had a profound impact on Indonesia. This presentation highlights research on pandemic impacts on various aspects of key demographic aggregates in Indonesia. These include estimates of the toll of the pandemic in the absence of reliable birth and death registration data, the timing, size, and geographic spread of waves of infection and mortality, and the impacts of the pandemic on health policy in Indonesia. Where relevant, comparisons are made with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

About the Speaker:
Siddharth Chandra is professor and director of the Asian Studies Center at Michigan State University. His research interests include pandemics, the intersection of economics, health, and history in Asia, behavior and policy relating to addictive substances, and applications of portfolio theory to fields outside finance, for which the theory was originally developed. Much of his research is spatial and historical in nature. He has received funding from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for his historical research, which has appeared or will appear in a variety of journals including the *American Journal of Public Health*, the *American Journal of Epidemiology*, *Emerging Infectious Diseases,* *Demography, the Journal of Global* *History, the Journal of Economic History*, and the *Journal of Asian Studies*. His recent research on the influenza pandemic of 1918-1920 in Asia and the USA has been featured on BBC World as well as in a variety of newspapers and magazines worldwide. Professor Chandra received his PhD in economics from Cornell University, his AM (Ph.D. pass) in economics from the University of Chicago, and his BA (with honors) in economics from Brandeis University.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

This is a hybrid event. Link here for in-person registration (limited): https://myumi.ch/88Be9
Link here to stream via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/v2VjW

Inspired by Monica Muñoz Martinez, who studies vernacular history makers that “participate in shaping popular understandings of the past by making histories of racial violence, preserved in community memory, available to the public,” and Arlette Farge’s analysis of “rekilling” in the archives, this roundtable graduate student workshop will address the emotional and ethical traumas built into archives and how historians grapple with them.

These talks will focus on issues of methodology and the experience of conducting archival research on violence broadly construed. The panelists will address eighteenth century Paris police archives and the descriptions of domestic violence within them; children’s experiences with settlement houses, welfare, and the juvenile legal system in the United States during the Progressive Era; the lives and afterlives of personal objects located in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; and the Iranian diaspora in France in the mid-to-late twentieth century and beyond.

Panelists:
• Haley E. Bowen (Graduate Student, History, University of Michigan)
• Allie Goodman (Graduate Student, History, University of Michigan)
• Keanu Heydari (Graduate Student, History, University of Michigan)
• Tori Herzig-Deribin (Graduate Student, History, University of Michigan)
• Deirdre de la Cruz (moderator; Associate Professor; History, Asian Languages and Cultures; University of Michigan)

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

What's Halaloween? In 2019 during the month of October, we launched the first ever Muslim Horror Film Festival: Halaloween. Halaloween screens horror films from across the globe that were made by, for, or about Muslims with the hopes of understanding ‘What scares Muslim audiences? Are horror movies halal?’. The previous Halaloween Festivals featured A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, Dachra, Siccin 4 and more.

This year we are hosting the festival online and screening one film a week for the month of October. We're giving you the remote and allowing viewers to watch on their own time: each film will be available for a whole week. We're also inclusive of everyone's film needs: from new horror fans who close their eyes through most of the films, to those who love the gore - we've got films for everyone! Check the Halaloween Horror Rating in the description of each film for a better sense on how scary each film will be.

The festival remains free, and will come to you wherever you are (though some films may not be available in certain countries). Films will be unlocked online each week of October, and viewers will have the week to watch each film. We'll wrap up the month of October with a live panel discussion on Muslim Horror, the use of Islam and the Quran, and how each region differs in its creation of horror films (sign up to our newsletter below to stay updated on this event, or check our social media).

The 2021 Halaloween Lineup:

October 1 - 122 | 2019 | Egypt
October 8 - KL24: Zombies | 2017 | Malaysia
October 15 - Kandisha | 2008 | Morocco
October 22 - Madayen | 2016 | Saudi Arabia
October 29 - Impetigore | 2019 | Indonesia

MCDB Seminar > Microtubule organisation and bidirectional cargo transport inside cells (October 15, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85320 85320-21626223@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 15, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology

Microtubules span the entire cell, provide structural integrity and serve as the tracks for long distance transport. To position organelles and transport vesicles and mRNAs inside the cell, cargoes recruit molecular motor proteins that walk unidirectionally along microtubules. Cytoplasmic dynein is the major minus end directed motor, while a range of kinesins transport cargo towards the plus end of microtubules. The Straube lab combines quantitative live cell imaging approaches with in vitro reconstitution assays to uncover the mechanisms that generate specific microtubule arrays in polarised cells and the transport along microtubule arrays mediated by dynein and kinesins.

Host: Morgan DeSantis
