The Science Runway, an initiative of the Center for Healthcare Innovation, is a STEM & Healthcare Mentoring Program for young women interested in these fields. Runway Roundtables are exclusively for undergraduate women, featuring a panel discussion of leading women in healthcare and STEM careers and post-roundtable networking sessions. There is also theopportunity to connect with mentors one-on-one post–roundtable.

Runway Roundtable- The Road Less Traveled: Non-Clinical Careers in STEM & Healthcare

Non-clinical career paths for students, from undergrad to medical school, are often lesser-known options to pursue, therefore this Runway Roundtable will discuss non-clinical career paths for students considering or pursuing medicine. Panelists will also discuss their experiences entering non-clinical careers as female professionals, and the changing healthcare landscape in the U.S.

Organized By: Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery and Engineering

Topic: *Pricing Physical Water Risk: Machine Learning Approaches to Quantify the Impact of Corporate Water Use Efficiencies in the Financial Markets*

Corporate financial risk in their operations resulting from climate change and water resource limitations result in volatility in the capital markets. This has become a regulatory focus under the Task for Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), forcing companies to disclose how climate is impacting their financial performance. This includes water risk exposures in water security and the impact of floods in supply chains, logistics, and operations resulting from water access. Corporate water intensity, a proxy for climate transition risk, relates water use efficiency to operational and capital asset risks. This information is generally not disclosed in financial or sustainability reports and is difficult for investors or regulators to assess, and for risk managers to address. This seminar focuses on the development of econometric models to price water risk in equities with the aim of informing corporate decision-makers and external stakeholders to assess and benchmark the financial valuation of water risk and to allow for comparison across industry sectors.

Please join us for a discussion on two of Vanguard's advisor development programs: the Financial Advisor Development Program and the Advance to Financial Planning Associate Program. You will hear from program managers and past participants speak on the details of each program, the experience going through it, and what was learned along the way. If you're considering a career in advice or are interested in learning more, this is for you! In addition to learning about a career in advice, we will also be sharing information about exciting opportunities for Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 graduates.

 

Ahead of the event, feel free to take a look at some high-level information about these and other leadership development programs at Vanguard: Leadership Development Roles | Vanguard Careers (vanguardjobs.com).

Data science and AI are having a significant impact on society in uncountable ways, leading to huge benefits in many cases. Yet, increasingly complex analytical pipelines working with poorly understood heterogeneous data sets can give rise to harm in many ways. Furthermore, there could be deleterious systemic effects such as the magnification of disinformation or surveillance capitalism. There has been tremendous recent interest in understanding and managing these concerns.

This mini-symposium is part of the Future Leader Summit program, a three-day event which brings together outstanding graduate students and postdocs from around the US to engage in research discussions with peers and with research leaders, and receive career mentoring, as they grow to become future research leaders in data science and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Free and open to the public.

Hellen Keller once remarked that if you “keep your face in the sun, you will never see the shadows.”

Thankfully we are headed into the warmer months when it is much easier to capture those magical rays and the benefits that come along with them. Most people know that more sun means an increase in that much-needed vitamin D, as well as an increase in serotonin. Did you know that sunshine has been found to also affect cognition? Or, that it can actually help certain skin conditions?

It’s true that the sun boasts quite an impressive list of benefits, but as the age-old saying goes: “You don’t want too much of a good thing.” The first description of skin cancer dates as far back as the writings of Hippocrates of Kos in the 5th century, B.C. However, scientists at Michigan Medicine, led by one of our mini symposium speakers, are still connecting UV rays with new unexpected forms of cancer.

It is hard to know where to dive into the massive amount of health-related information revolving around the sun. However, “Here Comes the Sun,” the next installment of the NeuroNetwork for Emerging Therapies Mini Symposium Series, on Thursday, April 27, at 2 PM ET via Zoom, is a great place to start.

The event is presented by the Wolfe Brain Health Initiative, in partnership with the Frances and Kenneth Eisenberg Family Depression Center, the Department of Psychiatry, and the Department of Dermatology.

We are extremely excited to welcome the speakers below.

As sure as the sun comes up each day (we couldn’t resist—sorry), this is an event you don’t want to miss. Don't forget to submit your questions when you register.

Language is not only about the words, it is also about the people. While much of the work in computational linguistics has focused almost exclusively on words (and their relations), recent research in the emerging field of computational sociolinguistics has shown that we can effectively leverage the close interplay between language and people. In this talk, I will explore this interaction, and show (1) that we can develop cross-cultural language models to identify words that are used in significantly different ways by speakers from different cultures; and (2) that we can effectively use information about the people behind the words to build better language representations.

Dr. Mihalcea holds a Ph.D. in computer science from Southern Methodist University and a Ph.D. in Linguistics from Oxford. In 2008 Mihalcea received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. She is an outspoken promoter of diversity in computer science. She supports expansion of the traditional analysis of educational success, which tends to focus on acdemic behavior, to include student life, personality and background outside the classroom. Mihalcea leads Girls Encoded, a program designed to develop the pipeline of women in computer science and to retain women who enter the program.

Next generation information platforms based on planar integrated photonics and free space optics have shown significant promise for overcoming the performance bottlenecks of traditional semiconductor based digital architectures. Many recent advances in information processing have been enabled by the development of Integrated Microwave Photonics, Optical Neuromorphic Computing, and Quantum Photonics platforms. Our research utilizes experimental methods and Multiphysics simulations to explore interesting correlations between fundamental light-matter interactions and photonic device functionality in the Visible to midIR and THz regime. We are particularly interested in understanding how to use structurally driven anisotropy to modify or tune a material’s “effective” optical properties. In this talk, we will introduce phase change chalcogenides on nanostructured silicon (PCNS) as a novel optical metamaterial with an actively tunable effective permittivity and anisotropic thermal diffusivity which leads to intriguing, lower power, dynamic behavior. We will also show how PCNS can be used to modify the resonant behavior of THz metasurfaces by creating small perturbations in regions of strong optical mode confinement. In addition, we will explore hyperbolic optical media with extreme in-plane anisotropy which supports interesting polariton interactions such as spatial confinement and tunable resonant behavior. We will show how resonator geometry influences the optical behavior of mid-Infrared phonon-polaritons in highly anisotropic hyperbolic media which led to new fundamental physics and functionality of hyperbolic metamaterials for photonics applications.

Society has become increasingly reliant on digital technology, but public infrastructure has not yet evolved to support and enable these social, commercial, and municipal needs. Industry migration to renewable energy and Big Data continues to alter the way we live and work, and growing demand for connected, electric, and autonomous vehicles will require more than ever-more-expensive vehicles traveling on poorly maintained, deteriorating traditional roadways. Our aging transportation infrastructure needs to be transformed and digitized to support public demands for existing technology and enable the evolution of those needs over future generations. Leveraging new approaches to digital infrastructure, data analytics, and modern financing reduces a daunting task into an approach that revolutionizes public infrastructure while incentivizing sustainable planning and implementation strategies.

A panel discussion will follow the lecture, featuring Rick Geddes, Professor, Department of Policy Analysis and Management at Cornell University, and Tim Slusser, Chief of Mobility Innovation for the City of Detroit.

Our co-sponsors include CCAT, UMTRI, Mcity, Integrated Roadways, the City of Detroit and the Cornell Program in Infrastructure Policy.

Our weekly seminar series featuring internal and external speakers in the field of ecology and evolutionary biology. This seminar will be in-person and livestreaming on Zoom (link this page).

Abstract:
The fundamental goal of the field of population genetics is to understand the evolutionary processes that govern allele frequency change. However, the actual mechanisms causing these changes - variation in individual survival, reproductive success, and movement - are often difficult to directly measure in natural populations. Fully understanding these processes requires the population pedigree, the set of relationships among all individuals in the population through time. Here, we elucidate the relative roles of different evolutionary processes in shaping patterns of genetic variation through time using a 25-year genomic, phenotypic, and pedigree dataset in the Florida Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens). Using gene dropping simulations, we estimated individual long-term genetic contributions and show how they are linked to measures of individual fitness and predictions of allele frequency change. Our approach allows us to quantify the expected genetic contribution of recent immigrants and identify large allele frequency shifts due to gene flow or selection. We modeled the relative roles of different evolutionary processes in shaping patterns of genetic variation genome-wide. Finally, we modified existing selection component analysis frameworks to test for selection acting on specific life-cycle stages. We identified a number of loci that clearly exhibited male gametic selection, sexual selection, and viability selection. By combining pedigree-based models with fine-scale dissection of selection components, this work provides a one of the most complete characterizations of the roles of selection, gene flow, and drift in governing allele frequency dynamics in a natural population to date.

Title: Federated Data Analytics for the Internet of Federated Things (IoFT)

Abstract: A critical change is happening in today's Internet of Things (IoT). The computational power at the edge device is steadily increasing. AI chips are rapidly infiltrating the market. Mobile phones' processing power is becoming comparable to laptops available for everyday use. Tesla's autopilot system has 150 million times more computing power than Apollo 11, and small local computers such as Raspberry Pis have become commonplace in manufacturing systems. This change opens a new paradigm of data analytics within IoT; one that exploits edge compute resources to process more of users' data at the origin of creation. In this talk, I term this future of IoT as the "Internet of Federated Things (IoFT)" and discuss our recent efforts in federated data analytics aimed at bringing this future into reality. Specifically, I will present federated analytics approaches that aim to answer two questions: (1) How to personalize model inference so participants borrow strength from each other yet retain their own individualized models, (2) How to extract what is shared and unique across the distributed datasets? I end the talk by describing our prototyping efforts to generate real-life IoFT data.

While the rational cohomology of arithmetic groups such as SL_n(Z) and Sp_{2n}(Z) can often be completely computed if the cohomological degree is small compared to n, little is known about it for high cohomological degrees. In this talk, I will discuss vanishing results that have recently been obtained for the high-dimensional rational cohomology of SL_n(Z), Sp_{2n}(Z) and other arithmetic Chevalley groups. This is related to a conjecture of Church--Farb--Putman and based on joint works with Brück--Miller--Patzt--Wilson, Brück--Patzt and Brück--Santos Rego.

Abstract:
Metabolism is central to virtually all cellular functions and contributes to a range of diseases. A quantitative understanding of how biochemical pathways are dysregulated in the context of diseases such as cancer, metabolic syndrome, and neuropathy is necessary to identify new therapeutic targets. To this end we apply stable isotope tracers, mass spectrometry, and metabolic flux analysis (MFA) to study metabolism in mammalian cells, animal models, and human patients. We are particularly interested in understanding how amino acid and lipid metabolism are coordinated in the context of specific disease states. Serine, glycine and one carbon metabolism is critically important for cell function and health, but the amino acids associated with this pathway are commonly reduced in patients with metabolic syndrome. Here I will detail how we apply MFA and related methods to decipher why serine and glycine are reduced in mouse models of diabetes. At the same time, modulating dietary serine, glycine, and fat impacts lipid metabolism and neuropathy phenotypes in C57BL/6 mice. In turn, supplementation of serine improves sensory function in diabetic animals, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for treating patients with serine-associated neuropathy. These data provide mechanistic insights into potential drivers diabetes co-morbidities and the role of amino acids in chronic disease.

Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry for top-down proteomics: past, current, and future (April 13, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105996 105996-21813536@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 13, 2023 4:00pm

Top-down proteomics (TDP) aims to characterize the proteome samples in a proteoform-specific manner and accomplish the human proteoform project (PMID: 34767442), which requires highly efficient separation and sensitive detection of proteoforms due to the extremely high sample complexity. Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) for top-down MS analysis of intact proteins/proteoforms is pioneered by the McLafferty, Lee, and Smith groups in 1990s. CE-MS is a powerful analytical technique for proteoform measurements due to its extremely high efficiency and sensitivity for proteoform separation and detection. However, due to the limitations of MS instrumentation and robustness of CE-MS interface, CE-MS had not been widely adopted until the recent 10 years. During the last decade, CE-MS interface has tremendous improvement in terms of sensitivity and robustness and several interfaces have been commercialized. MS instrumentation has impressive improvement in terms of mass resolution, gas-phase fragmentation performance, speed, and sensitivity. Using the modern instrumentation, it is straightforward to achieve the identification of thousands of proteoforms from whole cell lysates using CE-MS/MS with high reproducibility. For example, our group recently demonstrated the identification of over 23,000 proteoforms from colorectal cancer cells and documented drastically different proteoform profiles between metastatic and non-metastatic colorectal cancer cells using CE-MS/MS (PMID: 36542699). It is also approachable to delineate large proteoforms (e.g., monoclonal antibodies) and membrane proteoforms using CE-MS and MS/MS. We expect that CE-MS will be a powerful analytical tool for high-throughput TDP of various complex biological samples in the next several years.

I study the effects of female employment opportunities on women and households in India. I randomized whether women’s husbands and parents-in-law were shown a video promoting a job for women. The promotion made family members view the job more favorably and increased women’s take-up of it. In the short-run, I find positive effects on women’s empowerment in household decision-making, null effects on psychosocial dimensions of empowerment, suggestive evidence of increases in daughters’ studies, and a drop in time women spent on leisure but not household chores. Perhaps because chores were not reallocated, the effect on employment did not persist.

The many correlated electron problems remain largely unsolved after decades; with one stunning success being BCS electron-phonon mediated conventional superconductivity. The Cooper pairing mechanisms of the dozens of families of unconventional superconductors, including the high-Tc cuprate, iron based, and heavy fermion superconductors remain elusive and quite varied. But some of their fundamental characteristics are strikingly similar, including their ubiquitous phase diagram, with intriguing, correlated electron (non-Fermi liquid) phases that break the symmetry of their underlying lattice at temperatures well above T_c. These correlated phases remain among the greatest unsolved problems in physics; and I will present an analogy stressing that. I will start with an overview of the US National MagLab and finish a glimpse of some of my own recent work possibly identifying a possible new pairing mechanism in a heavy-fermion superconductor.

This the second of a 2 part series on the cohomology of the discrete group SLnZ - In the second talk, we’ll see the virtual cohomological dimension of SLnZ, and a duality result analogous to Poincaré duality, namely Borel-Serre duality, that helps compute higher dimensional cohomologies of SLnZ.
I will spend time recapping the setup from the last talk, so while attending the first one is helpful, it is not necessary.

Location: Vandenberg Room
Organized By: Sessions @ Michigan

Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AA&PI Heritage Month) is a nation-wide celebration of the Asian American & Pacific Islander communities. The theme of this year's programming at UM is Generational Change and Healing.

While the month is federally recognized in May, the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs (MESA), the United Asian American Student Organizations (UAAO), and the Oceanic Student Association (OSA) celebrate the month from mid-March to mid-April, with a diverse range of events that honor AA&PI histories, heritages, communities, and identities.
To celebrate, RSG and GRIN have planned two very special events!
Caste on Campus: Institutional Response and Prevention in the US
Monday, April 10, 4-6PM
Forum Hall, 4th Floor Palmer Commons
Join us for a panel discussion on “Caste in the Campus: Institutional Response and Prevention in the US”. Have you ever wondered how casteism operates on college campuses and what can be done to prevent and address it? Our panelists from the Equity, Civil Rights & Title IX office (ECRT) and the Graduate Employ Organization (GEO) at the University of Michigan will shed light on the institutional channels and mechanisms available to combat casteism.
We are also thrilled to have Prof. Laurence Simon from Brandeis University and Prof. Sonja Thomas from Colby College share their successful experiences of adding caste into the protected categories at their institutions. The panel will be moderated by Prof. Christi Merrill, Professor of South Asian Literature and Postcolonial Theory at the University of Michigan. The discussion will be preceded by a student-led presentation.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn about caste and its implications on college campuses, and to discover what universities, colleges, cities, and unions across the US are doing to address this issue.

POSTPONED: Ty Jeffries (April 13, 2023 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102696 102696-21804992@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 13, 2023 5:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Note: This event, originally scheduled for April 13, 2023 has been postponed. We are working to reschedule this presentation for the Fall 2023 series.
Ty Jeffries is a prolific composer, lyricist, pianist, singer, and character comedian, whose critically acclaimed works are influenced by the combination of his classical training and his love of both the golden age of Hollywood and the Great American and British Songbooks. He is the son of the late British character actor, screenwriter, and director Lionel Jeffries, who is famous for starring in Camelot and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Jeffries is best known for his onstage persona of Miss Hope Springs, a blonde ex-Vegas showgirl alter-ego who plays the piano and sings cabaret songs. Jeffries plays Springs as a tragicomic “recovering showgirl” looking back on her life and career. The character is inspired partly by memories of fading Hollywood icons visiting his childhood home, as well as memories of him and his father watching old black-and-white films together.
Jeffries won Best Cabaret Brighton Fringe in 2011 and was invited to open the new cabaret room The Crazy Coqs in London. Miss Hope Springs Sunday Soirées became an institution. Jeffries went on to be resident at The Matcham Room in the Hippodrome Casino (better known as The Talk of the Town where Judy Garland once played) and headlined at the Rah Rah Room in the old Pigalle Nightclub.
In 2016, Jeffries toured the United States with Miss Hope Springs performing shows in New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and New Hope, Pennsylvania, with an appearance at Lincoln Centre. In 2019, Jeffries won Broadway World Awards “Best Cabaret” Edinburgh Fringe Festival for his show It’s Miss Hope Springs. In 2021, he was invited to return to Wigmore Hall to perform a solo recorded concert for the iconic Pride 2021 celebration praised by NYC Bistro Awards. In 2022 Miss Hope Springs celebrated 10 years of residency at Crazy Coqs with a sold out rave review week of shows, and the residency continues into 2023.

Caroline Sinders: Intertwined Intimacy (April 13, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/107057 107057-21815225@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 13, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Intertwined Intimacy is a series of architectural sculptures ruminating on privacy and intimacy, and how the infrastructure of visible and invisible spaces influences communities, communications, and safety.
This work stems from artist Caroline Sinders' previous work combining research driven art and human rights analysis that responds to current technology systems by focusing on how the design of 'infrastructural' and 'architectural' spaces, both online and offline, impacts safety. By focusing on prototypian futures, Intertwined Intimacy observes impacts through public infrastructure, and open, digital commons inspired by mutual aid and open source technology. To generate this research, Sinders analyzed how structures, metaphors and engagements of privacy and security within technology impact mental models The sculptures create a labyrinth, allowing for a space of reflection and consideration for the audience, as the sculptures slowly become more and more opaque, offering areas of hidden solitude and refuge.
Caroline Sinders is the 2023 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence. This annual international competition awards one residency per academic year to a visiting artist/designer who proposes to develop a new work in collaboration with members of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and the University of Michigan community. Learn more about Sinders' residency and practice in this Q&A.
Sinders is an award winning critical designer, researcher, and artist. She is the founder of human rights and design lab, Convocation Research + Design. For the past few years, she has been examining the intersections of artificial intelligence, intersectional justice, systems design, harm, and politics in digital conversational spaces and technology platforms. She has worked with the Tate Exchange at the Tate Modern, the United Nations,the European Commission, Ars Electronica, the Harvard Kennedy School and others. Sinders is currently based between London, UK and New Orleans, USA.

He is a frequent media commentator on modern American history, politics, civil rights, and urban policy.

Angela D. Dillard is Richard A. Meisler Collegiate Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies, History, and in the Residential College at the University of Michigan. Her publications include Faith in the City: Preaching Radical Social Change in Detroit (2007) and A Different Shade of Freedom: The Making of Civil Rights Conservatism in America (forthcoming). In addition to serving as chair of the History Department she is also co-PI on the Michigan-Mellon Egalitarian Metropolis project.

Matthew D. Lassiter is Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of History and of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Michigan. His publications include Detroit Under Fire: Police Violence, Crime Politics, and the Struggle for Racial Justice in the Civil Rights Era (2021) and The Suburban Crisis: White America and the War on Drugs (forthcoming).

Location:
Organized By: School for Environment and Sustainability

After three years of COVID, we are emerging from multiple crises: global pandemic, economic downturn and mass inflation, and a crisis of racial inequality. Earth Day 2023: Justice in Focus seeks to put justice and Earth in the same conversation, removing the silos of environment, human social systems, and political ecology. The University of Michigan, led by the Tishman Center for Social Justice and the Environment at the School for Environment and Sustainability, will bring forth a critical dialogue with emerging and powerful leaders on the frontlines. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from local and national leaders on the inner workings of organizations, solutions, and leadership that emerged through the pandemic.
New Times, Dynamic Leadership

Locally and nationally over the last few years, we were put to the challenge, navigating COVID, racism, and economic crises in the age of climate catastrophe. Leaders all over the nation were asked to step up. Communities historically disinvested struggled to get basic resources while federal and state resources were lagging behind. And yet, we can only imagine more crises unfolding as climate change unfolds.

New times, dynamic leadership asks emerging leaders how they used skills, resources, and social networks to navigate the complex challenges before us. What have we learned through the pandemic? What is needed amidst what’s been called the largest Civil Rights movement in the United States? How must we transform our systems to meet these challenges as climate catastrophe unfolds?

Jules Massenet’s adaptation of Goethe’s The Sorrow’s of Young Werther. The opera begins when young Werther agrees to accompany the mayor’s daughter Charlotte to a local party. Werther falls in love with Charlotte at the party, but Charlotte is already engaged to a man named Albert. The drama continues as Werther struggles to maintain his friendly relationship with Charlotte and her husband, Albert, while suffering the pains of unrequited love, and living an inauthentic public life. Werther’s depression ultimately leads to suicide.
This new, intimate production is musically directed by Timothy Cheek, staged by Abbigail Coté, and features a new orchestration by Ian Farrington.

Location: Mendelssohn
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

A satire of the aesthetic movement of the late 19th century, Patience drops us in the center of the "civil war" between the Maidens and the Dragoons, to whom they are to marry. The Maidens have left the cold Dragoons to seek the affection of Reginald Bunthorne, a vulgar and pompous aesthetic poet. Bunthorne meanwhile has set his sights set on winning the heart of the milkmaid, Patience, who is even more repulsed by him than she is by the idea of being in love. But with the return of Archibald Grosvenor, both the childhood friend and true love of Patience, as well as a poet of the utmost perfection, Bunthorne and the Dragoons are faced with a new rival.

U-M jazz students and professors welcome a monster special guest

Each year, students and professors in the University of Michigan jazz program move in and tear up the Ark stage in our Jazz Showcase, always welcoming a nationally known special guest. This year, that guest is a legendary talent—trumpeter Randy Brecker, who has helped shape the sound of jazz, R&B, and rock for more than four decades. You’ve probably heard Randy Brecker even if you don’t know it—his trumpet and flugelhorn performances have graced hundreds of albums by a huge range of artists from James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, and Parliament/Funkadelic to Frank Sinatra, Steely Dan, Jaco Pastorius, and Frank Zappa. Here’s your chance to hear a jazz legend passing on his secrets to the next generation!

CCPS Exhibition. Survivors Saving Survivors: Photographing the Ukrainian Refugee Experience in Poland (April 14, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/101977 101977-21803103@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 14, 2023 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

In April and June 2022, at the invitation of JCC Krakow, Chuck Fishman traveled to Poland to document the JCC and the Jewish community’s commitment to helping Ukrainian refugees fleeing their war-torn country. What he witnessed and captured in a series of gripping photographs is *tikkun olam*, a central concept in Judaism that denotes activities that repair and improve the world we live in. The exhibit shifts the lens away from the horror the refugees have endured to focus instead on human goodness and how it can overcome lingering evil.

In his 45-year career, freelance photographer Chuck Fishman has focused on social and political issues with a strong humanistic concern. His work on Jewish life in Poland, begun in 1975, continues to the present day. Fishman’s work has been extensively published, exhibited, and collected worldwide, and has earned him prestigious World Press Photo Foundation medals four times. His photographs have appeared on the covers of *Time*, *Life*, *Fortune*, *Newsweek*, *The London Sunday Times*, *The Economist*, and numerous others. Fishman’s work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, the United Nations POLIN: The Museum of the History of Polish Jews, and the Stanford University and New York Public Libraries, to name a few, as well as private and corporate collections.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

About the Exhibition
As part of the artist's vision for this project, the installation will be activated on opening night with a collective response to the objects, the space, and the archives within. Facilitated by: Ricky Weaver, Viktor Givens, Bryce Detroit, Andrew Wilson, and Efe Bes.

About the Artist
Ricky Weaver is an image-based artist, theorist, and mother, born in Ypsilanti, MI. Her art and theory are centered around the lexicon generated through black women's everyday practices, dark sousveillance, and images as objects that alchemize the archive on a quantum level. She is currently teaching at ArtCenter College of Art and Design in Pasadena, CA as a fellow for the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design. Weaver is represented by David Klein Gallery and has shown work at Art Miami, the Havana Biennale, Sofa Expo, and more. Her work has been acquired by institutions like the Wedge Collection and published in Aperture’s As We Rise: Photography from the Black Atlantic.

Weaver was named one of LensCulture's Critics Choice Artists of 2020, selected by Susan Thompson, associate curator at the Guggenheim Museum. She also participated in the Independent Scholar Fellowship at The Carr Center where she was mentored by Carrie Mae Weems. She earned an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA from Eastern Michigan University, with a concentration in photography.

Weaver recently presented a paper titled “How I Got Over: The Meta-Archive and other registers” at Black Portraitures VII hosted by Rutgers University. Most recently she has taken on the role of lead visual consultant, specializing in image theory and photography, for the Global Institute for Black Girls in Film and Media.

This project is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities' multi-year High Stakes Art initiative.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Trace how astronomy was developed, studied, and disseminated through the centuries, from 1500 BCE to the Renaissance. On display is material drawn from the University of Michigan collections dealing with the history of early astronomy: manuscripts, early printed books, and artifacts illustrating Mesopotamian, Greek, Islamic, and Western European astronomy.

This exhibit and its permanent online counterpart (https://umlib.us/earlyastronomy) are part of the Aratus Project, which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and led by Prof. Francesca Schironi. The core of the project has been to study Aratus’ "Phaenomena," the most important poem on stars and constellations of the Graeco-Roman ancient world, and its exegetical tradition. Read an annotated edition and English translation of "Phaenomena" and its commentaries (https://aratus.classics.lsa.umich.edu/). The physical and online exhibits place this research work within its later intellectual and historical context.

Curated by: John Steele, Professor of the History of the Exact Sciences in Antiquity, Department of Egyptology and Assyriology, Brown University; Francesca Schironi, U-M Professor of Classical Studies; Evyn Kropf, U-M Librarian for Middle Eastern & North African Studies; Pablo Alvarez, U-M Curator (Special Collections Research Center).

Portraits of Feminism in Japan (April 14, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/103305 103305-21806972@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 14, 2023 9:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

What is feminism in Japan? Rather than imagining it as a singular, coherent object, this exhibit seeks to introduce the diversity, difference, and complexity inherent in feminist activism in Japan. As in other cultural contexts, “feminism” in Japan can invoke sharply different associations, from office workers trying to reshape taken-for-granted structures of power and authority, to mothers advocating for safer school lunches after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disasters, and queer couples seeking legal recognition for the families they have created. Mainstream feminist activism in Japan has focused on advocating for change in families, workplaces, schools, political institutions, and laws, among many other contexts. Many ­– but certainly not all – feminist activists in Japan are also responding to the lasting legacies of Japanese colonial projects, working toward recognition, repair, and meaningful reparations for racial and gender-based violence that continue to impact communities disproportionately.

This exhibit features original portraits of feminists who have shaped the landscape of women's and gender rights in Japan and beyond. Created by nine contemporary artists in Japan and the United States, the portraits and accompanying texts challenge simplistic understandings of "feminism" while also drawing attention to a diversity of experiences, needs, and activism within Japan. This exhibit also spotlights the history of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan in conjunction with the Center for Japanese Studies' 75th anniversary celebration.

“Portraits of Feminism in Japan” is open for viewing M-F 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.

Keynote: "HIV/AIDS in Ethnographic Perspective: Black Women, Bodily Autonomy, & Reproductive Justice"Even as Black women have been at the heart of struggles against HIV inequities and reproductive violence in the Americas, they remain excluded and deprioritized in HIV/AIDS research, clinical trials, and public health interventions. In this talk, Dr. Jallicia Jolly examines how the social, erotic, and political experiences and practices of working class Black Jamaican women living with HIV challenge contemporary biomedical approaches of the global response to the HIV pandemic that emphasize implied black pathology, isolable “risk” groups, individual behavior change around sex, and self-sufficiency. Foregrounding a black transnational ethnography of women's HIV/AIDS organizing in Jamaica and the United States, Jolly illustrates how women's grassroots care work, community organizing, and participation in a diasporic HIV politics resist and reshape the biomedical category of illness. Furthermore, she demonstrates how they hold institutions accountable for the unequal distributions of resources that have historically advantaged White men in the global North as the worthiest recipients of aid, support, and protection. This talk calls for a more robust and culturally-resonant approach to HIV/AIDS that is attentive to the dynamics of Black women's sexuality and reproductive capacities while invested in concrete systemic changes that support enabling conditions for women to both exercise bodily autonomy and become active beneficiaries of scientific advances.Jallicia A. Jolly is an Assistant Professor in American Studies and Black Studies at Amherst College. Dr. Jolly researches and teaches on Black women’s health, grassroots activism, and reproductive justice; the transnational politics of gender, structural racism, sexuality, class, and health; intersectionality and HIV/AIDS in the U.S. and Caribbean; Black feminist health science, Black motherhood, and birth justice.

Biased beliefs and stigma as barriers to treatment and innovation adoption (April 14, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/107264 107264-21815802@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 14, 2023 10:00am

Lung cancer is associated with smoking and is characterized by low treatment rates and lower research funds with respect to other cancers. Research shows that patients with lung cancer often internalize societally biased beliefs on the effectiveness of treatment and the accompanying stigma, which may deter them from seeking treatment and, thus, hinder the diffusion of innovative therapies. We investigate the impact of social effects on treatment rates and innovation adoption using administrative data on advanced lung cancer patients in Ontario (Canada). We estimate a structural model of treatment choice where patients base their own decision on the treatment decisions of their reference group. Identification rests on the exogenous variation in the treatment propensity of physicians. We find that biased beliefs and stigma deter access to treatment: placing all patients in a neighborhood characterized by low social discrimination increases treatment rates by 4 percent and the use of innovative therapies by 3 percent. Social effects account for around 2 percent of the gap in research funding for lung cancer, which amounts to $7 million every year in US public funding alone.

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

RSVP for access to pre-circulated papers (available April 1): https://forms.gle/yuo7BgkukcrQvYta6

This workshop initiates a conversation across geographies and temporalities around the concealed labor of scribes, librarians, bureaucrats, and scholars who make codices and curate archives to think about process and form. To focus on the labor involved in textual creations as we collect, select, copy, and create digital books and archives, we have invited two scholars, Marina Rustow (Princeton University) and Bridget Whearty (Binghamton University), to present their work on the hidden hands and invisible choices that go into the long durée of producing books and archives.
Presenters: 

Marina Rustow is a social historian of the medieval Middle East who works on the Cairo Geniza, a cache of roughly 400,000 folio pages and fragments preserved in an Egyptian synagogue. Her The Lost Archive: Traces of a Caliphate in a Cario Synagogue draws on the Princeton Geniza Project to think about the making of archives and codices.

Bridget Whearty specializes in medieval English literature, digitization, and medieval texts. Her Digital Codicology: Medieval Books and Modern Labor highlights the hidden and erased labor behind digitalizing medieval manuscripts to explore modern labor and the long history of book production.

Discussants:

Catherine Brown (Associate Professor, Arts and Ideas in the Humanities, University of Michigan)

Helmut Puff (Elizabeth L. Eisenstein Collegiate Professor of History and Germanic Languages, University of Michigan)

Prison Creative Arts Project presents an exhibition of collaborative photography at the Detroit Historical Museum (5401 Woodward Ave. in Detroit), open now through May 21st.

A public reception will be held on March 9th, 6:00–9:00 PM, with a panel of previous workshop participants at 7:00 PM.

We hope you will be able to see the exhibit, and please be in touch if you have any questions.

Humanize the Numbers shows the perspectives of men in Michigan prisons. The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height, weight, etc. In the process, their humanity is denied.

This exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so, those in prison reclaim their humanity.

"Tumor subclone detection and niche differential expression analysis on spatial transcriptomics data"

Single cells influence, and are shaped by, their local tissue microenvironment. High resolution technologies for in situ profiling of gene expression at the transcriptome scale are rapidly maturing, enabling the detailed interrogation of the distribution of cell types in situ as well as the elucidation of local signaling patterns between cell types. In this talk, I will describe new computational methods for the analysis of spatial transcriptomics data, and illustrate their application to the study of cancer. First, I will focus on the detection of somatic copy number aberrations from spatial transcriptomic and single cell data, and the use of somatic copy numbers in the differentiation of malignant from normal tissue and the characterization of tumor subclonal evolution. Next, I will discuss niche-differential expression (niche-DE) analysis. Niche-DE identifies cell-type specific niche-associated genes, defined as genes whose single cell expression is significantly up- or down-regulated in the context of specific spatial niches. Although niche-DE is conceptually defined on the single-cell level, we show that niche-DE genes can be recovered from lower resolution spatial transcriptomic (ST) data where each observation is a spot containing a mixture of cell types. We apply the methods to the study of the tumor microenvironment on spatial transcriptomic data from multiple cancer types.

Location: Museum of Natural History
Organized By: Museum of Natural History

Featuring work by Gina Gibson, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.

Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new, the light and dark, and the known and unknown.

UN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

Facilitated by Kourtney Pony, MD/MBA Candidate, University of Michigan; Rachel Bergmans, MPH, PhD, Research Investigator, University of Michigan Department of Anesthesiology, Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center (CPFRC)

This workshop references work with the Community Advisory Board for Lupus Care and Research (Lupus CAB) as a starting point to discuss racial inequities in healthcare and lupus more specifically. The presentation will be co-led by Kourtney Pony (student lead for the Lupus CAB, 3rd-year medical student) and Dr. Rachel Bergmans (faculty co-leader for the CPFRC Health Equity Core). The workshop will be a mixture of a lecture and group discussion to highlight racial inequities in healthcare. Participants will be divided into groups to discuss a series of questions as each inequity is revealed and they will learn from data that address each response. The nuance this workshop aims to capture is that there is a history of mistreatment towards Black patients within medicine, and there are still present-day problems that we must address to reduce inequities in lupus care and research, as well as the healthcare system in general.

Location: Ruthven Administration Building
Organized By: U-M Office of Research

The 2023 Bold Challenges Pollination Workshop brings together researchers from all over campus to spark innovative solutions to complex problems and provides opportunities to collaborate and create on the 2023 Bold Challenges themes: Building Trustworthy Environments, Smart Health Systems, and Strength Through Sustainability.

During the three-hour, in-person workshop, attendees will mix and match to meet potential collaborators and partners, brainstorm research problems and solutions, develop ideas as teams, have opportunities to get advice from U-M experts on how to increase the probability of success, and then take steps to further develop a wide range of ideas. One of these steps is to apply for Bold Challenges' BOOST program, which offers expert support and up to $75,000 for proposal development.

After the workshop, any interested faculty or newly formed teams will be able to request consultations with the research development team, one hour each, where they can invite potential team members to join them that were not at the workshop (including industry and community representatives), and start developing their applications for the BOOST program, described above, or Bold Challenges' advanced support program, ACCELERATE.

All U-M researchers with an interest in broadening their network and in collaborating more effectively across campus on any of these three topics are encouraged to attend. Individuals and teams who are just starting to think about these concepts or could use help taking the next step in a potential collaboration are welcome.

Last year, hundreds of U-M faculty networked and took steps to meet new collaborators at Bold Challenges pollination events. Join Bold Challenges on April 14 and help create new collaborations that can change the world.

Fill out the registration form by April 10 to reserve your spot.

“Shaping Poetry in the Classroom” (11am-12:30pm)

Cody Walker, Lecturer IV and Director of the Undergraduate Creative Writing Program | Gillian White, Associate Professor of English | John Whittier-Ferguson, Professor of English


How do teaching methods shape the idea of what students come to understand as “poetry”? What ideas of poetry are informed by the university classroom? This panel seeks to constellate the stakes, pressures, and possibilities of reading poetry in the classroom. We ask our panelists to think about how their teaching methods shape the idea of what their students come to understand as “poetry” and “poems.”


Lunch break (12:30pm-1pm)


“Poetics Now” (1pm-2:30pm)

Khaled Mattawa, Professor of creative writing in the Helen Zell MFA Writing Program | Marianna Hagler, PhD candidate in English Language & Literature | Sergio Villalobos-Ruminott, Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures (Spanish)


What is “poetics” today? Is it a matter of reading practices, methodology, and/or shared assumptions? How has our contemporary understanding of “poetics” come into being? This panel presents multiple understandings of poetics and how we might read poems today. Speakers may address lyric, poetic genre, issues of poetry criticism, reading communities, poetry performance, poetic “difficulty,” reader reception, translation, and reading theory. The panel will also feature close readings of particular poems.

Organized By: LSA Biophysics

Abstract:
The biopharmaceutical industry is in a constant state of evolution, and the demand for innovative drug development technologies has never been higher. High-throughput development (HTD) is an emerging field within biopharmaceuticals that offers a unique approach to drug discovery, development, and manufacturing.

During the presentation, the speaker will discuss their journey of transitioning from a traditional scientific background to a more engineering-focused role in HTD. They will cover the challenges and
opportunities that they met along the way, as well as share insights on the interdisciplinary nature of
HTD. Additionally, they will emphasize the importance of remaining curious, resilient, and enthusiastic throughout one’s career when taking advantage of the opportunities presented.

The audience will gain an understanding of the diverse range of career opportunities available in HTD, and how a background in science can help develop skills in engineering and data analysis. This presentation will be valuable for scientists and researchers who are interested in transitioning to roles in HTD, as well as for students and recent graduates who are exploring career opportunities in the
biopharmaceutical industry.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly, drop-in program designed to help you nourish your spirit and heal your body and mind.

All U-M students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required.

Advanced Wellness techniques are taught on the first Friday of the Month and that session will be about 45 mins.

*What will you learn?*

The guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation, rejuvenation, and meditation.

Relaxation brings your body to a calm, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice.

*Why Meditate?*

While physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony.

*Event Details*

Jeffrey R. Parsons Lecture 2023: Self-Destructive Zones: What Archaeology Tells Us about the Future Risks of Floods, Forest Fires, and Droughts in Southern Appalachia (April 14, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105713 105713-21812838@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 14, 2023 12:00pm
Location: School of Education
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

Since the Great Depression, the major river valleys of southern Appalachia have seen explosive population growth and economic development, and the region is now synonymous with hydro-electric dams, coal-fired power plants, agriculture, and now eco-tourism, retirement communities, and revitalized, trendy cities. However, like many regions of North America, there is growing concern about the impact of climate change, and in particular costly disasters caused by floods, forest fires, and droughts. Using theory derived from historical ecology and the sociology of disasters, I argue that people are not passive actors in this narrative, and that a review of the rich archaeological record of the region illustrates that the growth machine of capitalism has created self-destructive zones where disasters don’t just happen, they should be expected.

How Effective Altruism Can Help Behavioral and Organizational Scientists Increase Their Social Impact (April 14, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/106060 106060-21813645@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 14, 2023 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Behavioral and organizational scientists often want their work to help make the world a better place. People in these fields, however, do not always have an organizing framework to guide them in these efforts. In today’s talk, I discuss how effective altruism (EA)—a growing movement based on using science and reason to guide efforts to do good—can help behavioral and organizational scientists achieve their prosocial goals, both as individuals and as a field. First, I’ll briefly introduce effective altruism and review important principles that people can apply to various elements of their work, such as importance, tractability, neglectedness, and personal fit. I’ll then review concrete examples of current and new actions that people can take as teachers, clinicians, scholars, and consultants. Finally, I’ll discuss field-level efforts that may help behavioral and organizational scientists increase their positive impact. Ultimately, I hope that this talk can contribute to the broader discussion on how our science can maximize its positive impact and inspire audience members to figure out ways that they can do the most good in their careers.

Where did Curious George, a popular fictional “monkey” created by Margret and H.A. Rey, come from? In contemporary interpretations, his lineage is straightforward. In one version, Curious George is a reflection of his Jewish creators’ escape from Hitler-occupied Europe. In another, he is a metaphor—conscious or not—for the Middle Passage. But Curious George’s “ancestry” was much less anthropocentric. It recorded decades of human relationships with animals in captivity, be it in zoos, circuses, primatology exhibits and labs, or private homes in cities large and small. How can we begin to plot this genealogy, and what implications does it have for understanding the animal fictions that surround us?

Workers in many jobs enjoy significant autonomy regarding the projects or assignments they take on, sometimes leading to the neglect of tasks which are important to an employer but unattractive to workers. We study the joint use of monetary and career incentives to correct this problem. Optimal incentives always involve at least some misallocation of career opportunities to underperforming employees who take on an undesirable task. Bonuses may be used when the desired incentive power is sufficiently high, but the optimal bonus is generally non-monotone in the strength of incentives and may be zero when incentives are very strong. This non-monotonicity is driven by a novel group-size effect, which increases the effective incentive power of career rewards as the fraction of employees undertaking an under-served task grows.

Mark Tucker, the Art Director of Lloyd Scholars for Writing and the Arts, is wrapping up his Art in Public Spaces course on Friday, April 14, from 3-5 pm with the unveiling of his students' mural "Did This All Mean Something?" on the third floor of Palmer Commons. The seventeen students in Tucker's class, whose academic majors vary widely, created this mural from the designs they developed using hundreds of collaged images that they painted on canvas throughout the semester.

“Did This All Mean Something?” is the second part of a trilogy of murals made by Tucker's students and being installed in Palmer Commons, where they are accessible and open to the public. The first two murals can be viewed from either inside or outside the building and will soon be joined by a third Mural being made by Tucker’s students this coming Fall as part of LSA’s Arts and Resistance Theme Semester.

Join us on Friday, April 14, from 3-5 pm in Palmer Commons to see the mural and meet the student artists! Delicious refreshments will be served, and there will also be live music!

The vertex functions are generating functions counting rational curves in a quiver variety. They give a basis of solutions to the quantum differential equation associated with the quiver variety. In my talk I discuss a construction of certain polynomial solutions of the quantum differential equations modulo a prime p. This construction is based on the so called 3D-mirror symmetry, which provides integral representations to the vertex functions.

In my talk I describe a number of conjectures relating the p-adic limits of these polynomial solutions to the vertex functions. The talk is based on a joint project with A. Varchenko arXiv:2302.03092

Organized By: Student Algebraic Geometry Seminar - Department of Mathematics

The aim of the talk is to introduce the Ishida complex, which is a nice resolution of the Kahler differentials of a smooth toric variety, and to describe some of its properties. One among many interesting consequences of the complex is a complete description of the Hodge numbers of a smooth projective toric variety. I will give a brief introduction to toric varieties and other associated objects in the talk, so while prior knowledge of toric varieties would be useful, it is certainly not necessary.

with Michael Lempert

"From Small Talk to Microaggression: A History of Scale"

Lecture Series Abstract:

What trouble can come from straining to know a thing closely, "microscopically"? These lectures explore the political, epistemological, and ontological problems caused by observational scale. Since the mid-twentieth century, US social scientists studying face-to-face interaction have been by turns fascinated and frustrated by the "small" scale of their object and the scrutiny it seemed to demand. They repurposed recording technologies to know social interaction--and often also to control it, where control meant bottom-up liberal social engineering, from shoring up democracy to streamlining hiring. Scale became politicized anew in the 70s as scholars of interaction faced questions that vexed social movement activists. How did the "interpersonal" relate to the "institutional," "micropolitics" to "mass" politics? Similar scalar contestation has roiled many fields and has shaped how disciplines understand their internal differences.

Lectures will be held at 3:00 p.m. in the Rackham Assembly Hall, 4th Floor, on

January 20, 2023 | How Scale Broke the World

February 10, 2023 | Talk Therapy and the Shrinking Science of Conversation

Van der Voo Lecture - Dr. Bernard Housen, Western Washington University (April 14, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102060 102060-21803405@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 14, 2023 3:30pm
Location: 1100 North University Building
Organized By: Earth and Environmental Sciences

Recognizing the role and extent of large scale deformation, including rotations of continental margins (such as rotation of Iberia- Van der Voo, 1969) and the displacement and accretion of tectonostratigraphic terranes (van der Pluijm et al., 1993) have been among the most important applications of paleomagnetism to tectonics problems. An example of these processes are models for the growth and accretion of the North America Cordillera, and causes of regional orogenic events. The western margin of North America has been an accretionary margin for the past ~250 million years, with a complex history of terrane accretion, subsequent translation, and orogenic and magmatic processes during that time. An important, and to some controversial, element of the tectonic history of the Cordilleran margin has been the paleolatitude and timing of terrane accretion and interaction between these terranes and the margin- including the role and nature of subducting oceanic plates. Beginning with work published over the past 50 years, paleomagnetic results pointed to the accretion of large terranes at latitudes far to the south of their present locations along the NA margin. These models are commonly referred to as the Baja-BC hypothesis (Irving, 1985; Umhoefer, 1987), and remains an issue of active study (Housen, 2018; Mahoney et al., 2021; Tikoff et al., 2023). Evaluation of models for far-travelled terranes requires understanding the paleogeography of North America to be used as a comparison for data from Cordilleran terranes. Data for Late Jurassic to Eocene time will be presented, and questions- for example conflicting view of Late Jurassic paleopoles- will be highlighted. Paleomagnetic results from Cretaceous rocks of stable North America (Housen, 2021; Tikoff et al., 2023) indicate that the data is robust and define two age-grouped paleopoles. The NA pole from 145 to 85 Ma is 71.8 N, 192.7 E, A95=2.4, N=27, placing NA at high latitude. The 84-65 Ma pole for North America is 82.6 N, 184.1 E, A95 = 3.5, N=3, which indicates a southward shift of NA after 80 Ma. The N-S orientation and well-defined set of paleopoles provide an ideal reference for definition of displacements of terranes along the Cordilleran margin.

The paleomagnetic data from the Intermontane and Insular Superterranes indicate that the Intermontane Superterrane had post-100 Ma displacements of ~700 to 1400 km; and the Insular Superterrane had post-100 Ma displacements that are larger (2000-3000 km). This forms the basis for an updated collisional model for Late Cretaceous-Eocene orogenic events. The collisional phase (100-85 Ma) resulted in a nearly simultaneous collision from central Mexico to central Idaho, and the coastal magmatic arcs in this segment experience a rapid and intense episode of dextral tranpression/contractional deformation. This event also resulted in major contraction in the Sevier fold-thrust belt, foreland block uplifts in the northern Rocky Mountains, and significant foreland sedimentation in adjacent North America. A 85-55 Ma “run” phase resulted in continued contraction throughout North America in addition to dextral strike-slip faulting of coastal blocks, and is supported by paleomagnetic data from Paleocene rocks of the Chugach terrane. The contractional deformation in Wyoming and Montana is hypothesized to occur because of the clockwise rotation of a large lithospheric block (Blue Mountains terranes and adjacent Laurentia). This block rotation was accommodated by sinistral motion along the Lewis and Clark deformation zone, and resulted in significant shortening in SW Montana.

Let’s Save the Poems: Manuscripts in Albanian Communist Prison (April 14, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/107064 107064-21815250@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 14, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Modern Languages Building

At the end of the 1970s, the Albanian poet Visar Zhiti sent a book of poems to the press expecting to publish his first book. But Zhiti ‘s poems had to go under strict control before being given permission to get printed. Not only did his poems not ‘pass’ the state propaganda hand, but according to the state, his poems contained ‘grave errors’; they were considered hermetic and against the format of socialist realism under the Albanian communist regime. For this reason, he was arrested in 1979 and sentenced to ten years in prison and served eight years. As the poet states, he continued to write even within the prison to keep his sanity under the regime’s dire circumstances.

Ceramics artists Yoshiko Takahashi and Georgette Zirbes discuss the influence of the Shigaraki tradition on their work and the intergenerational global exchange among American and Japanese artists that helped to pave the way for women ceramics artists.

This program, presented in partnership with the Penny Stamps Speaker Series, is connected to the UMMA exhibition Clay As Soft Power: Shigaraki Ware In Postwar America and Japan (on view through May 7, 2023).  Known for its earthy tones, rough clay surfaces, and natural ash glazes, Shigaraki ware is celebrated as one of the “Six Ancient Kilns” of Japan, ancient sites of pottery production and cultural heritage in which wares have been produced from the middle ages to today. 

Until the mid-twentieth century, women in Japan played supporting roles in ceramic production. After World War II, the number of women ceramic artists in Japan gradually increased as access to education and professional development expanded. A robust exchange with American women ceramic artists contributed to this shift as well. U-M Professor Emerita Georgette Zirbes was one of these American artists.  By the 1960s, a notable number of women had founded their own ceramics studios, carried out every step of production from modeling to firing by themselves, and produced ceramics not only to earn a living but as a means of self-expression. The current generation of women artists such as Yoshiko Takahashi has  inherited the legacy of the remarkable independence of Zirbes and others in her cohort.

Join these two artists along with exhibition curator Natsu Oyobe for a deep dive into their work and the influences that continue to connect them today.

The program will be followed by UMMA Feel Good Friday. Stick around for an evening of programming inspired by the Clay as Soft Power exhibition.

Yoshiko Takahashi was born into the family of Takahashi Rakusai, a lineage of makers of Shigaraki ware that started in the nineteenth century. She will be the first woman artist to succeed to the Rakusai name. Takahashi studied ceramics at the Kyoto Prefectural Ceramicists' Technical Institute and the Shigaraki Ceramic Research Institute. After graduating, she became a studio technician for the artist-in-residence program at the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park, working in the stimulating environment of international and national artist exchanges. Now an independent artist in Shigaraki, she regularly exhibits her works in museums and galleries throughout Japan and the United States.

Georgette Zirbes’s artistic practice has been informed by her experience and research in Japan and Eastern Europe. After receiving an MA in ceramic art from The Ohio State University in 1964, Zirbes was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to Japan and studied with two masters of the woodfired, unglazed ceramic tradition: Fujiwara Kei (1924–1977) in Bizen and Takahashi Rakusai III (1898–1976) in Shigaraki, where she learned about asymmetric forms and interventions into clay surfaces. In 1987, another Fulbright grant allowed her to spend six months studying ceramic traditions in the former Czechoslovakia. While retaining her studio practice, she was a devoted educator and in 1970 she established the studio art program at the Residential College at the University of Michigan; she later became a faculty member at the University’s School of Art and Design, where she taught for thirty-five years. In 2006, she was named an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor by the University of Michigan in recognition of her dedication to teaching. A retrospective exhibition was held at her undergraduate alma mater, DePauw University, in 2017.

Established through the generosity of Dr. Herbert Sloan, the annual Doris Sloan Memorial Program honors one of the Museum’s most ardent friends and supporters, Doris Sloan, a long-time UMMA docent.

Tonight’s program is presented in partnership with the Penny Stamps Speaker Series and sponsored by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and Takahashi Omitsu. 

 


Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost, the Japan World Exposition 1970 Commemorative Fund, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the U-M Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation, James M. Trapp, Nancy and Joe Keithley, and the William C. Weese, M.D. Endowment for Ceramic Arts.

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

Intertwined Intimacy is a series of architectural sculptures ruminating on privacy and intimacy, and how the infrastructure of visible and invisible spaces influences communities, communications, and safety.
This work stems from artist Caroline Sinders' previous work combining research driven art and human rights analysis that responds to current technology systems by focusing on how the design of 'infrastructural' and 'architectural' spaces, both online and offline, impacts safety. By focusing on prototypian futures, Intertwined Intimacy observes impacts through public infrastructure, and open, digital commons inspired by mutual aid and open source technology. To generate this research, Sinders analyzed how structures, metaphors and engagements of privacy and security within technology impact mental models The sculptures create a labyrinth, allowing for a space of reflection and consideration for the audience, as the sculptures slowly become more and more opaque, offering areas of hidden solitude and refuge.
Caroline Sinders is the 2023 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence. This annual international competition awards one residency per academic year to a visiting artist/designer who proposes to develop a new work in collaboration with members of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and the University of Michigan community. Learn more about Sinders' residency and practice in this Q&A.
Sinders is an award winning critical designer, researcher, and artist. She is the founder of human rights and design lab, Convocation Research + Design. For the past few years, she has been examining the intersections of artificial intelligence, intersectional justice, systems design, harm, and politics in digital conversational spaces and technology platforms. She has worked with the Tate Exchange at the Tate Modern, the United Nations,the European Commission, Ars Electronica, the Harvard Kennedy School and others. Sinders is currently based between London, UK and New Orleans, USA.

This year, TBS will feature Michigan Bhangra Team, Michigan Mayuri, Michigan WolveRAAS, Michigan Taal, and Michigan Sahānā Music & Dance. We want to show the community what we all have spent months creating, learning, and refining through an evening of spectacular performances on one stage.

Jules Massenet’s adaptation of Goethe’s The Sorrow’s of Young Werther. The opera begins when young Werther agrees to accompany the mayor’s daughter Charlotte to a local party. Werther falls in love with Charlotte at the party, but Charlotte is already engaged to a man named Albert. The drama continues as Werther struggles to maintain his friendly relationship with Charlotte and her husband, Albert, while suffering the pains of unrequited love, and living an inauthentic public life. Werther’s depression ultimately leads to suicide.
This new, intimate production is musically directed by Timothy Cheek, staged by Abbigail Coté, and features a new orchestration by Ian Farrington.

Location: Mendelssohn
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

A satire of the aesthetic movement of the late 19th century, Patience drops us in the center of the "civil war" between the Maidens and the Dragoons, to whom they are to marry. The Maidens have left the cold Dragoons to seek the affection of Reginald Bunthorne, a vulgar and pompous aesthetic poet. Bunthorne meanwhile has set his sights set on winning the heart of the milkmaid, Patience, who is even more repulsed by him than she is by the idea of being in love. But with the return of Archibald Grosvenor, both the childhood friend and true love of Patience, as well as a poet of the utmost perfection, Bunthorne and the Dragoons are faced with a new rival.

THE HUMANS is a one-act play written by Stephen Karam. The play opened on Broadway in 2016 after an its Off-Broadway productions in 2015. As finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Dramas in 2016 and the Tony Award winner for Best Play in 2016, this play explores the quintessential family reunion. In the play, Erik Blake has brought his Pennsylvania family to celebrate Thanksgiving at his daughter’s apartment in lower Manhattan. As darkness falls outside the ramshackle pre-war duplex, eerie things go bump in the night and the heart and horrors of the Blake family are exposed.

We know—Tom Paxton had a farewell tour a few years ago. Kidding! Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner and folk icon Tom Paxton is back, and he's teaming up with the Grammy-winning Nashville singer/songwriter duo The Don Juans—Don Henry & Jon Vezner! Collectively, their songs have been covered by: Harry Belafonte, John Mellencamp, Miranda Lambert, Neil Diamond, Ray Charles, Nanci Griffith, Judy Collins, Pete Seeger, Janis Ian, Kathy Mattea, John Denver, Faith Hill, B.J. Thomas, Blake Shelton, Peter, Paul & Mary and Bob Dylan … just to name a few! Within days of writing and playing together, the trio knew they were onto something, and they soon took it on the road. Ever since the days of Porter & Dolly's cover of "The Last Thing on My Mind," the songs of Tom Paxton have had a special resonance with Nashville songwriters, and now the tradition continues!
