Exile and the Mentor-student Relationship: A Force for Resistance and Decolonization (March 7, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119503 119503-21842845@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 9:00am
Location: Tappan Hall
Organized By: University Library

This small exhibit features work in reproduction by Iraqi artists Hanaa Malallah and Mohammed Karim, as well as an original painting by Karim. Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.

In the United States, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized, under despotic rule, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students, and students who became mentors to new students, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.

View the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library, Tappan Hall, 855 S. University Ave.

My Gender States (March 7, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/116487 116487-21837073@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 9:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

On display at Lane Hall, Rogério M. Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In "My Gender States," Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister.

Using autoethnography, Pinto created a one-person play ("Marília," 2015) and site-specific installation performance ("The Realm of the Dead," 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas, gender states, and his life experience—a story of the struggles, fears, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In "Realm," audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he, a queer immigrant, carried with him. "My Gender States" is a selection of materials, images, and texts from "Marília" and "Realm" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states, gender confusion, gender embodiments, gender doubt, and reactions to gender stigma.

Rogério M. Pinto (Brazilian, American, b. 1965, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work; and Professor of Theatre and Drama, School of Music, Theatre & Dance, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.

The photographs used in "My Gender States" are by Emerson Granillo (American, b. 1987); David Newton (American, b. 1993); and Nicholas Williams (American, b. 1994). The "Realm" assemblages featured in "My Gender States" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner.

"My Gender States" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor, 204 S State St) from January 23, to August 13, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public, M-F, 9am-4pm.

Hosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Orson Welles as Family Man: Son, Husband, Father (March 7, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115811 115811-21835608@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit provides a unique glimpse into the actor/director Orson Welles’ private life. Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work, this display shows him in informal and familial environments, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth, humor, tenderness, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.

Culled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s, when Welles was a teenager, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife, Paola Mori. 

It should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child, Beatrice Welles, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.

The exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Peter Dunn Exhibition (March 7, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/116532 116532-21837329@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 9:00am
Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 18
Organized By: North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program

Peter Dunn has historically been an object maker as a designer and sculptor. Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as
scribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding, augmenting, slicing, repeating, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception, sympathy, hierarchy, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.

Peter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan. He currently serves on faculty at College for Creative Studies

A Gathering (March 7, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 107870-21817748@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 

As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.

This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.

So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

Andrea Carlson Future Cache (March 7, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95387 95387-21789297@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

In Andrea Carlson Future Cache, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  

Presented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.

Special thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Margaret Noodin, and Richard A. Wiles, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology, U-M Clements Library, and U-M Clark Map Library. For more information on the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians visit BurtLakeBand.org.

Care in Uncertain Times

As crises of public health, economic instability, authoritarian regimes, racial injustice, and climate change spread around the globe, millions are experiencing distress, conflict, uncertainty, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases, weapon wounds, and malnutrition.

This exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost, U-M Office of the President, National Endowment for the Arts, Michigan Arts and Culture Council, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and U-M Ross School of Business.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

In Curriculum / Collection, an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality, time, and human interaction in relation to our environments, our wars, our relationships, and our eccentricities. 

Working in collaboration with University faculty, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.

As classes begin in Fall of 2021, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course, dive into the works themselves, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way, too.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and the Oakriver Foundation.

"In the United States, many people participate in what is called """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""small talk"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""", where you make conversation with strangers or acquaintances about non-controversial topics, such as the weather, sports, or popular television shows. “Small talk” is one of the ways in American culture to chat about harmless topics in order to establish a connection and start to build a friendship.

For example, while waiting for an interview, in line at a M-Den, or in an elevator on campus, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like, “Did you watch the Football Game last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in, or comment on the current situation.

If you are interested in learning more about """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""small talk"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""", now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers!"

Products from Pollution: Carbon Capture and Conversion (March 7, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119221 119221-21842398@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 10:00am
Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Global CO2 Initiative

Phasing out fossil fuels is a primary means to fight climate change, but it alone is not enough. Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit.

Many of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change.

However, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture.

Additionally, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal, an interactive block activity, and sample products made from captured CO2.

Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism (March 7, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 84303-21621227@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison), this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art, 1650-1850.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.

Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  

In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 

By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 

“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” 

— Toni Morrison

Lead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.

We Write To You About Africa (March 7, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84304 84304-21622084@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. 

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.

Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.

Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 

We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Quantum Research Institute

Marko Lončar, Tiantsai Lin Professor of Electrical Engineering at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), will be presenting "Quantum Optical Interconnects" as part of the Quantum Research Institute's winter seminar series from 11am - noon in the Henderson Room (3rd floor) at the Michigan League. A Zoom option is also provided.

Seminar Description:
Optically active and highly coherent emitters in solids are a promising platform for a wide variety of quantum information applications, particularly quantum memory and other quantum networking tasks. Rare-earth atoms, in addition to having record long coherence times, have the added benefit that they can be hosted in a wide range of solid-state materials. We can thus target particular materials (and choose particular rare-earth species and isotopes) that enable certain application-specific functionalities. I will give an overview of this promising field and discuss several ongoing projects with rare-earth atoms in different host materials and configurations. This includes efforts to identify and grow new materials with rare-earth atoms at stoichiometric concentrations in order to reduce disorder-induced inhomogeneous broadening, as well as photonic integration of rare-earth doped samples to increase the light-atom interaction for practical quantum devices.

Kelbaugh Lecture: Emmanuel Pratt (March 7, 2024 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/117074 117074-21838597@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 11:30am
Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

RE-MAPPING THE PUBLICS:
Emmanuel’s talk offers a critical examination of how cities utilize public resources, labor, land, and materials to address challenges and plan for the future of the built environment. The conversation explores SWF’s practice of re-mapping cities’ resources at its Communiversity to create true Common Wealth – the spaces, structures, networks, resources, and opportunities essential to mending the urban fabric, healing communities, and equipping our neighborhoods to thrive, rather than merely survive. The talk invites us to imagine: “What if??? What if…. neighborhood development took place on a human scale, fueled by the critical connections that cultivate the relationships and collective commitment to do the necessary work?”

The Race Between Education, Technology, and the Minimum Wage (March 7, 2024 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/118957 118957-21841947@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 11:30am

Organized By: Department of Economics

What is the impact of the minimum wage on the college wage premium? I develop a theory that implies that the effect should be small on impact—raising only the wages of workers bound by the minimum wage—and grow over time. Guided by my theory, I present evidence that these dynamic effects are present and powerful. Estimated at the national and state levels, I show that minimum wages—together with supply and demand—play a central role in shaping the evolution of the U.S. college premium and that the elasticity of the college premium to the minimum wage is small on impact and grows dramatically over time. To verify my theory’s mechanisms, I additionally document the dynamic impact of the minimum wage over the full wage distribution: on impact, wages rise only for the lowest centiles (consistent with the literature) but over time this effect spills over up the wage distribution (consistent with my theory and my empirical results on the college premium). On the basis of these results, I conclude that the minimum wage plays a central role in shaping the U.S. college premium and its variation across states, in spite of relatively small effects on impact.

*We regret that we have had to cancel this event. We apologize for any inconvenience.*

In this talk, Professor Kaner will raise a number of issues that have arisen from a couple of recent collaborative and comparative projects (including *Circles of Stone: Stonehenge and Prehistoric Japan* and *Nara to Norwich: art and belief at the ends of the Silk Roads CE 500–1000*) that question both received orthodoxies about “Japanese origins” and their associated critiques.

Professor Simon Kaner, MA (Cantab), Ph.D., is Director of the Centre for Japanese Studies at the University of East Anglia and Executive Director of the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures, where he is also Head of the Centre for Archaeology and Heritage. A Trustee of the Society of Antiquaries of London, he is an archaeologist specializing in the prehistory of Japan. His recent publications include *An Illustrated Companion to Japanese Archaeology* (2nd ed. 2020), *The Archaeology of Medieval Towns: Case Studies from Europe and Japan* (ed. 2021) and *Japan and the World: artistic and cultural flows* (ed. 2021). He is currently co-editing *the Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of Korea and Japan*. He is Co-Editor of the *Japanese Journal of Archaeology*. He has undertaken archaeological fieldwork in the UK and many parts of Europe, as well as in Japan. Prior to joining the Sainsbury Institute, he was in charge of development-led archaeology for the county of Cambridgeshire. He has been Council Member of the Society for East Asian Archaeology and the Norfolk and Norwich Archaeological Society. He has curated a number of exhibitions, including at the British Museum, the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, and the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich. His most recent exhibition was *Circles of Stone: Stonehenge and Prehistoric Japan* at the Stonehenge Visitor Centre in 2022–23. His current research projects include *Global Perspectives on British Archaeology* and *Nara to Norwich: art and belief at the ends of the Silk Roads*. In 2011, he was awarded the 10th Miyasaki Eiichi Togariishi Jōmon Prize.

The medical field has relied increasingly on multi-drug therapies to combat antibiotic resistance. Combinations are often chosen empirically leading to suboptimal treatment outcomes and spread of resistance. Recent methods to develop synergistic treatments are dependent on computational models to cut down the vast sample size of combinations available from thousands of FDA approved antimicrobials. Our model uses a unique combination of computationally calculated drug – protein interactions, multi-omics studies, and machine learning (ML) to predict effective drug combination therapies. Computational calculations performed as well as the more costly omics datasets at predicting synergistic drug combinations. In addition to predicting drug - drug interactions, our models reveal underlying biochemical pathways related to synergy and drug mechanisms of action.

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

Great Lakes Seminar Series: Geodetic Observations of Water Mass Changes in the Great Lakes Basin (March 7, 2024 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/118921 118921-21841892@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR)

About the presentation: Changes in total water mass now can be measured by ground-based and space-based observations. As water moved around the planet, the entire Earth deforms as a result of the changing force exerted by the weight of the water, and we can measure these motions using precise GPS observations. The gravity changes due to the changing distribution of water can also be measured using data from the GRACE satellite mission. Because these observations provide estimates of the total water mass changes, we can combine them with measurements of surface water changes to infer changes in groundwater, which are otherwise hard to measure. Previous work showed that the 2012-2019 rise of Great Lakes water levels produced up to about 2 cm of ground subsidence, which we can observe in GPS data. To make accurate estimates of the water mass variations, we will need to fully understand noise and any biases, and carefully remove all signals that are not due to the water (for example, atmospheric pressure loading and glacial isostatic adjustment). We are about 1 year into a 5 year project to make these measurements and fuse them with groundwater modeling and other remote sensing data to develop a groundwater model for the Great Lakes Basin.

About the speaker: Freymueller is an internationally recognized leader in the field of geodesy, and utilizes satellites from the Global Positioning System (GPS) to make highly precise measurements of movement on Earth’s surface. In his far-reaching research activities, he has made discoveries in a wide range of topics including plate tectonics and plate boundary zones, faults dynamics, the continuing rebound of the Earth’s surface from the melting of ice-age glaciers, inflation and deflation of volcanoes, and interpreting how changing water and ice levels deform the Earth. He is particularly well-cited for his work on using GPS to understand the crustal deformation in China, related to the formation of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau.

In addition to his research, Freymueller is the Director of the EarthScope National Office. EarthScope is a long-term, large-scale, NSF-funded program to study the structure and evolution of North America and associated hazards through the deployment of thousands of geophysical instruments throughout the country.

Freymueller also has served the scientific community as the US National Correspondent to the International Association of Geodesy and its representative to the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics, has served terms as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Geophysical Research and Journal of Geodesy, and is currently Editor in Chief of the International Association of Geodesy Symposia Series.

In Soulscape, DSU’s solo photography exhibition, the art of portrait photography is reimagined as a journey into the soul, where each image serves as a window into the intricate landscapes of human essence. This collection emerges from a profound exploration conducted over a year and a half in an unfamiliar land, where encounters with diverse individuals have woven a rich mosaic of perspectives and stories.

Through the lens, DSU captures not merely faces but the myriad souls behind them, crafting a visual landscape that mirrors the complexity and beauty of the human condition. Each photograph in “Soulscape” is an invitation to gaze deeply into the authentic spirit of its subjects, offering a rare glimpse into the unguarded moments that define our shared humanity.

In the world of online dating, race-based discrimination is not only tolerated, but encouraged as part of a pervasive belief that it is simply a neutral, personal choice about one's romantic partner. Indeed, it is so much a part of our inherited wisdom about dating and romance that it actually directs the algorithmic infrastructures of most major online dating platforms, such that they openly reproduce racist and sexist hierarchies. In Not My Type: Automating Sexual Racism in Online Dating, Apryl Williams presents a socio-technical exploration of dating platforms' algorithms, their lack of transparency, the legal and ethical discourse in these companies' community guidelines, and accounts from individual users in order to argue that sexual racism is a central feature of today's online dating culture. She discusses this reality in the context of facial recognition and sorting software as well as user experiences, drawing parallels to the long history of eugenics and banned interracial partnerships. Ultimately, Williams calls for, both a reconceptualization of the technology and policies that govern dating agencies, and also a reexamination of sociocultural beliefs about attraction, beauty, and desirability.

Apryl Williams, Ph.D. is Assistant Professor of Digital Studies and Communication at the University of Michigan and Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. She is the author of Not My Type: Automating Sexual Racism in Online Dating, which has been featured on Mic.com and Mozilla Explains.

Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Seminar Series.

Preview: Understanding why the tempo and mode of evolutionary change varies across the tree of life is a major goal in evolutionary biology. Phylogenetic comparative methods have emerged as one way to study this questions at the broadest, macroevolutionary scales. However, finding the right balance of model realism, complexity, and statistical power has proved to be a major challenge to making robust inferences. Here, I will show work in my lab that seeks to address this challenge by reframing macroevolutionary questions away from questions about rate variation, and to instead focus on how we define and measure characters themselves. I will argue that this reframing enables new links to biological knowledge and data that provide needed constraints on our models and enable new insights into the causes and consequences of macroevolutionary change.

Abstract:
I will tell two stories from my lab. The first story is how biophysical cues dictate the formation and maintenance of dense connective tissues. This work includes how muscle loading during embryogenesis dictates the growth of tissues in the knee joint and how cell contractility regulates cell fate and tissue homeostasis. The second story, which started with a serendipitous discovery during my graduate studies, is focused on how the hedgehog signaling pathway is a master regulator of fibrocartilage formation during enthesis development and tendon-to-bone repair in adults.

Bio:
I obtained my undergraduate degree in Materials Science and Engineering with a specialization in Biomaterials from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2005. I completed my PhD in the Functional Tissue Engineering laboratory under the direction of Dr. David Butler at the University of Cincinnati in 2011. After postdoctoral training in musculoskeletal biology with Dr. David Rowe at UConn Health, I moved to the University of Pennsylvania in 2017, where I developed an independent research program in the McKay Orthopaedic Research Laboratory.

My lab’s primary research goals are directed towards understanding the genetic, cellular, and mechanical mechanisms that regulate normal development, disease, and repair of joint tissues. I am particularly interested in identifying markers that define resident progenitors vs. mature cell types and the environmental cues (molecular and mechanical) that regulate their differentiation. I was awarded a K99/R00 grant in 2015 to define the tendon cell lineage and pathways that regulate tenogenesis, which led to our current work investigating the role of hedgehog signaling in tendon-to-bone repair and developing novel drug delivery systems targeting this pathway to improve repair outcomes. My lab also examines how mechanical forces impact the formation and maintenance of dense connective tissues, which have resulted in a recent publication in PNAS and the formation of the Penn Achilles Tendinopathy Center of Research Translation (PAT-CORT). In 2024, I was awarded the Kappa Delta Young Investigator Award from the AAOS for this work. Ultimately, the long-term goals of my lab are directed towards translating these mechanistic studies to novel therapeutic strategies.

"Probing Exoplanets at the Diffraction Limit with Fiber-fed High-resolution Infrared Spectroscopy"

In this presentation, I will highlight recent discoveries made possible by the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) at the W. M. Keck Observatory. KPIC's pioneering single-mode fiber-fed architecture, seamlessly integrating the Keck II adaptive optics system with the NIRSPEC infrared high-resolution spectrograph, has allowed us to delve into the chemodynamics of exoplanets and brown dwarf companions at close separations.

Utilizing KPIC, we have collected 30 R=35,000 K-band spectra of low-mass companions, providing new insights into their spins, orbits, and chemical compositions, including their carbon-to-oxygen ratio, metallicity, and isotopologues. These measurements provide valuable new perspectives on their formation processes through dynamics and chemistry. Furthermore, I will discuss preliminary findings from our ongoing survey for exo-satellites around specific targets within our sample, offering tantalizing prospects for further exploration.

KPIC's achievements have set the stage for future instruments such as Keck-HISPEC and TMT-MODHIS, poised to deliver even more refined spectroscopic capabilities for studying directly imaged exoplanets, as well as close-in and transiting planets, along with precise radial velocity measurements.

"We’re All in This Together”: Addressing Poverty in Village Economies, with Mahreen Mahmud (March 7, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117997 117997-21840334@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 4:00pm

To date, most anti-poverty programs have focused on targeting only the very poorest households in a community, an approach that limits their scalability to raise incomes and productivity more broadly within entire communities, considerably adds to their cost, may be undone by household transfers to each other, and is often seen as unfair as households frequently move into and out of poverty. We ask whether household welfare is improved from a universal anti-poverty program, rather than a program targeted at only the poorest. In order to answer this question, we will use a clustered Randomized Control Trial of a universal anti-poverty program with nearly 4,000 households across 335 highly impoverished villages in rural Uganda. The program we consider, provided to everyone in eligible communities, offers a package of support including agricultural and livestock inputs and training; health education and entrepreneurship support. We examine the effects of the programme 2-3 years after its start, finding large positive effects throughout the distribution, with average incomes increasing 25%, wealth increasing 36% and consumption increasing 10%. There are also large positive impacts on a range of social welfare measures, including physical and mental health, hunger and nutrition and community engagement. At a cost of only 280 USD PPP per household, this program is a cost-effective and scalable way to alleviate extreme poverty.

This talk is presented by the Economic Development Seminar, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics through a generous gift given by Jay and Beth Rakow. This talk is also sponsored by the International Policy Center at the Ford School.

While the vector space dimension of the ring $k[x_1, \dots, x_n]/(x_1^{d_1}, \dots, x_n^{d_n})$ can easily be calculated as $\prod_{i=1}^n d_i$, adding in an additional ideal generator $x_1+\dots+x_n$ greatly complicates the problem. In this talk, I will present a formula for the vector space dimension of $\mathbb{F}_2[x,y,z]/(x^{d_1}, y^{d_2},z^{d_3}, x+y+z)$ when $d_1,d_2,d_3$ all lie between successive powers of $2$. Combining this with results of Chungsim Han, we get a complete description of the vector space dimension of $\mathbb{F}_2[x,y,z]/(x^{d_1}, y^{d_2},z^{d_3}, x+y+z)$ for any $d_1,d_2,d_3$. This is joint work with Fiona Han, Jenny Kenkel, Daniel Li, and Ashley Wiles (in fact, this came out of a Winter 2023 LoG(M) project done by Fiona, Daniel and Ashley, where Jenny and I were the mentors).

Differential Equations Seminar: Generic Naked Singularities in Vaidya Spacetimes (March 7, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/118749 118749-21841562@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 4:00pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Differential Equations Seminar - Department of Mathematics

The incoming Vaidya spacetimes are perhaps the simplest toy models for the dynamical formation of a Schwarzschild black hole from nonsingular initial conditions, arising from the collapse of a spherically symmetric cloud of null dust. I'll discuss the structure of these spacetimes and demonstrate, via the analysis of a simple ODE, that they can also exhibit the formation of naked singularities, singularities visible from infinity, accompanying the black hole provided only that the null dust accumulates slowly. More pointedly, I'll demonstrate that there is a sense in which the emergence of naked singularities is generic within this class of spacetimes. This observation is of note for the weak cosmic censorship conjecture, a fundamental postulate as to the nature and extent of solutions to the Einstein equations when coupled to "reasonable" matter.

Listen to presentations as part of a two-day series of events that explore how mapping and counter-mapping might contribute to ethnographic and historical research. Explore how art, activism, and scholarship help give these material objects a political afterlife.

Mapping is a mode of storytelling. Yet, cartography is often concentrated in the hands of the powerful. In response, “counter-mapping” has developed as a practice that empowers communities to challenge hegemonic narratives about space and foreground subaltern knowledge.

The Mapping and Counter-mapping: Methods for Art, Activism, and Scholarship series includes talks, a graduate student counter-mapping workshop, and a roundtable discussion.

Organized by Jatin Dua and Alyssa Paredes, with Francesca Conterno and Kristi Rhead.

In this talk, I’ll discuss properties of random hyperbolic surfaces with long boundaries. I’ll first talk about what a random surface means in this context, and introduce hyperbolic moduli spaces. I’ll then explain how the ‘spine graph construction’ allows us to relate random hyperbolic surfaces to random graphs, before briefly discussing why this relation works and what we can use it to prove.

The Photophysics and Photochemistry of First-row Transition Metal Complexes: Quantum Coherence, the Marcus Inverted Region, and Applications in Excited-state Chemistry (March 7, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109281 109281-21821342@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 4:00pm
Location: Chemistry Dow Lab
Organized By: Department of Chemistry

There has been considerable renewed interest in the photophysical properties of first-row transition metal complexes, driven in part by a long-standing desire to shift to earth-abundant materials for a variety of photolytic applications. A significant challenge to achieving this goal is the fundamental difference in the excited-state properties of first-row metal complexes as compared to their second- and third-row congeners subsequent to light absorption. Our group has been working on understanding the origins of this difference in an effort to develop design principles that will assist in overcoming these intrinsic challenges and develop new paradigms for the creation of photo-active first-row chromophores for applications in solar energy conversion strategies as well as photoredox catalysis.

This presentation will provide a brief survey of the work we have been engaged in over the past several years employing a combination of synthetic chemistry and ultrafast spectroscopy. Our primary focus has been on compounds involving metals with a d6 valence electronic configuration. In the case of Fe(II), leveraging information from vibronic coherence was found to provide what amounts to a roadmap for effective synthetic design to lengthen the lifetime of MLCT excited states, whereas the excited-state redox activity of Co(III)-based ligand-field excited states coupled with dynamics occurring in the Marcus inverted region enabled previously unforeseen applications in photoredox catalysis. Future directions envisioned for this line of research will also be discussed.

Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Artemio Rodríguez (March 7, 2024 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/116241 116241-21836491@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 7, 2024 5:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Artemio Rodríguez is a Mexican artist who was born in Tacámbaro, Michoacán. He began his career as a printer’s apprentice with Juan Pascoe at his renowned letterpress studio Taller Martin Pescador (Kingfisher Workshop) in Tacámbaro, Michoacán. At the age of 21, Rodríguez immigrated to Los Angeles and became a printmaker at Self Help Graphics. He co-founded La Mano Press in 2002 in Los Angeles before relocating to Michoacán in 2008, where he co-founded La Mano Gráfica, a gallery and craft store. Rodríguez directs the Library of Illustrated Books (Biblioteca del Libro Ilustrado, BLI), where his many public projects include The Bibliográfico, a 1977 Toyota converted into a traveling library, and the Graficomovil, a 1948 delivery truck converted into a gallery and printmaking studio.
Rodríguez is known for his linocut prints as well as his mural-sized prints and for his vehicles. Influenced by both European medieval woodcuts and Mexican cultural symbolism developed by artists like José Guadalupe Posada, Rodríguez’s style emphasizes simplicity, clarity, and imbued with a personal narrative. His images come from contemporary icons like American cartoons and Mexican culture, mythology and surrealism. A poet at heart, Rodríguez uses the physicality of the printmaking process to write stories in images. His work has been exhibited internationally and is in the collections of many public institutions, including the Seattle Art Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Hammer Museum, Petersen Automotive Museum, Library of Congress, Phoenix Art Museum and Museo José Guadalupe Posada. A retrospective look of his works can be seen in the book American Dream.
"Rodríguez’s new works emphasize some of his best-loved figures – skeletons, devils, animals, children, and the royalty of Michoacán – in acts of celebration, seduction, and play. He captures a multitude of experiences within one moment and one image. Entire scenes of a play, entire poems, unfold in stark black lines." - Paige McCray, Davidson Galleries
Rodriguez’s talk will cover his journey from his beginnings in rural Mexico to his experience crossing the US border, becoming part of the Chicano Art and Mexican printmaking scene, his rise to recognition and giving back to his community.

A “metal fetishist” (Shin'ya Tsukamoto), driven mad by the maggots wriggling in the wound he's made to embed metal into his flesh, runs out into the night and is accidentally run down by a Japanese businessman (Tomorowo Taguchi) and his girlfriend (Kei Fujiwara). The pair dispose of the corpse in hopes of quietly moving on with their lives. However, the businessman soon finds that he is now plagued by a vicious curse that transforms his flesh into iron.

Curator's note by Markus Nornes: Shin'ya Tsukamoto's timeless contribution to cyborg aesthetics. It was shot on a dime, on 16mm and blown up to 35mm, but with the kind of free spirit he learned in his earlier Super-8 filmmaking. It's undoubtedly the most influential Japanese horror film ever made.

Presented in Japanese with English subtitles. Read more about the film, including ratings, at https://imdb.com/title/tt0096251/

*Inspired by Bach* is a full-length presentation of the complete Six Solos for Violin without Bass Accompaniment (*Sei Solo a Violino senza Basso accompagnato*). These six solos are accompanied here by original visual art inspired by each movement of Bach’s music. The original program is divided into three parts averaging about 45 minutes; the total experience including intermissions is just under three hours. Today’s performance at SMTD is an excerpt, anticipated as 90 minutes in length (about half the length of the total cycle).

"Inspired by each of Bach’s 27 movements, I have created 27 pastel paintings using a mixture of soft pastels, hard pastels, sanded paper, and alcohol. During the performance, each piece is projected during its corresponding musical movement... Bach’s musical motives, characters, key areas, compositional structures, and hidden messages all serve as generative sources in this series. I conceive of each work as an entry in a 'musician’s sketchbook,' this exhibit serving as a way of sharing my musical interpretive process rather than asserting any professional identity as a visual artist."
– Nicholas DiEugenio, January 2024

Presented by the Department of Strings and the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments, with support from the Sally Fleming Master Class Fund.

ABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST

Violinist NICHOLAS DIEUGENIO has been heralded for his “excellent...evocative” playing (*The New York Times*), full of “rapturous poetry” (*American Record Guide*). Nicholas is in-demand as a soloist, chamber musician, and ensemble leader, creating powerful shared experiences in music ranging from early baroque to contemporary commissions.

A core member of the Sebastians, a period group hailed as “topnotch” by the *New Yorker* and “sharp-edged and engaging” by the *New York Times*, Nicholas also performs and records with pianist and wife Mimi Solomon. Their award-winning duo project “Unraveling Beethoven” comprises a full cycle of the Beethoven violin sonatas along with response works from composers Tonia Ko, Robert Honstein, Jesse Jones, Allen Anderson, and D.K. Garner.

His Musica omnia recording of the complete Schumann violin sonatas with Chi-Chen Wu on fortepiano was named one of the Top 10 albums of 2015 by *The Big City*. His August 2017 release on the New Focus label with Mimi Solomon, critically lauded as “a touching, committed tribute” (*I Care If You Listen*), is an homage to the late Pulitzer Prize-winner Steven Stucky. The disc features Stucky’s Sonata for violin and piano, two new works by Stucky’s students Jesse Jones and Tonia Ko, and the previously unrecorded Violin Sonata of Robert Palmer.

A two-time prize-winner at the prestigious Fischoff competition, Nicholas is passionately committed to collaboration, and has performed chamber music with Laurie Smukler, Joel Krosnick, Joseph Lin, Peter Salaff, and Ani Kavafian, as well as members of the Meta4 Quartet. As a baroque and classical violinist, he has performed with violinists Ingrid Matthews and Aislinn Nosky, as well as members of Tafelmusik, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, Philharmonia Baroque, and Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. He has also performed as guest Principal Second Violinist with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Nicholas is an alumnus of the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival, where he was deeply influenced by the musicianship of pianist Seymour Lipkin. At the same time, Nicholas also strives to incorporate musical elements from some of his favorite rock icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Anthony Kiedis, and Thom Yorke.

Rooted in a deeply compassionate approach to teaching, Nicholas is currently Associate Professor of Violin at UNC Chapel Hill, and is co-artistic director of MYCO, a non-profit chamber music organization for middle and high school students. Formerly Assistant Professor of Violin at the Ithaca College School of Music, Nicholas continues as a faculty member of the Kinhaven Music School in Vermont during the summers. Nicholas holds degrees from the Cleveland Institute of Music (B.M, M.M) and the Yale School of Music (D.M.A., A.D.), and he performs on a baroque violin made by Karl Dennis in 2011, and also on an 1835 violin made by J.B. Vuillaume.

CCPS Exhibition. Modernist Glass from the Polish Past (March 8, 2024 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111352 111352-21834783@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass), the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes.

The collectors, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets, antique shops, and websites, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.

Organized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.

The exhibit opens on September 15, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall, 500 Church Street, Ann Arbor. Contact copernicus@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.

CES Exhibition. Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers (March 8, 2024 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115990 115990-21835987@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for European Studies

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

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

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

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

Historically, maps have served as a panoptic technology, assisting imperial powers in governance, discipline, and control. In this exhibit, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.

Dayrit’s artworks, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps, plot the extraction of natural resources, land grabbing, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.

Dayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural, urban, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.

Cian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography, archaeology, history, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state, museum, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Organized By: University Library

This exhibit is an extension of Souq Stories (https://souqstories.insaniyyat.org/), which was displayed in 2021 in all seven of the historic markets it depicts in Gaza, Nazareth, Acre, Nablus, Jerusalem, Khalil, and Jaffa. Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides, military checkpoints, walls, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine.

Souq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza, sharing the stories of, and images captured by, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them, Fouad Abu Khammash, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.

< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >

This exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi, Zainab Hakim, Mariam Odeh, and Vivian M. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history, culture, and politics. Presented in association with Insaniyyat: Society of Palestinian Anthropologists.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This small exhibit features work in reproduction by Iraqi artists Hanaa Malallah and Mohammed Karim, as well as an original painting by Karim. Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.

In the United States, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized, under despotic rule, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students, and students who became mentors to new students, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.

On display at Lane Hall, Rogério M. Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In "My Gender States," Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister.

Using autoethnography, Pinto created a one-person play ("Marília," 2015) and site-specific installation performance ("The Realm of the Dead," 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas, gender states, and his life experience—a story of the struggles, fears, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In "Realm," audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he, a queer immigrant, carried with him. "My Gender States" is a selection of materials, images, and texts from "Marília" and "Realm" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states, gender confusion, gender embodiments, gender doubt, and reactions to gender stigma.

Rogério M. Pinto (Brazilian, American, b. 1965, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work; and Professor of Theatre and Drama, School of Music, Theatre & Dance, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.

The photographs used in "My Gender States" are by Emerson Granillo (American, b. 1987); David Newton (American, b. 1993); and Nicholas Williams (American, b. 1994). The "Realm" assemblages featured in "My Gender States" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner.

"My Gender States" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor, 204 S State St) from January 23, to August 13, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public, M-F, 9am-4pm.

Hosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Orson Welles as Family Man: Son, Husband, Father (March 8, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115811 115811-21835609@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit provides a unique glimpse into the actor/director Orson Welles’ private life. Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work, this display shows him in informal and familial environments, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth, humor, tenderness, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.

Culled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s, when Welles was a teenager, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife, Paola Mori. 

It should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child, Beatrice Welles, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.

The exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Peter Dunn has historically been an object maker as a designer and sculptor. Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as
scribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding, augmenting, slicing, repeating, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception, sympathy, hierarchy, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.

Peter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan. He currently serves on faculty at College for Creative Studies

Psychology Methods Hour: "Illustrating a Critical Quantitative approach to measurement with MIMIC models" (March 8, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/117003 117003-21838444@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 9:00am
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Psychology

The emerging Critical Quantitative (Crit Quant) perspective is anchored by five guiding principles (i.e., foundation, goals, parity, subjectivity, and self-reflexivity) to mitigate racism and advance social justice. Within this broader methodological perspective, sound measurement is foundational to the quantitative enterprise. Despite the problematic history of measurement, it can be repurposed for critical and equitable ends. MIMIC (Multiple Indicator and Multiple Causes) models are a measurement strategy to simply and efficiently test whether a measure means the same thing and can be measured in the same way across groups (e.g., racial/ethnic and/or gender groups). This talk considers the affordances and limitations of MIMICs for critical quantitative methods, by detecting and mitigating racial, ethnic, gendered, and other forms of bias in items and in measures. Discussion topics will include the affordances of Crit Quant vs QuantCRiT (Quantitative Critical Race Theory) and how Crit Quant and MIMICs do (and don't) detect racism in psychological and social science measures.

13th Annual International Graduate Student Workshop in Armenian Studies
Language Revitalization and Resurgence: The Case of Modern Armenian
March 8-9, 2024
Weiser Hall 1010 / Zoom: 917 6925 4957

Over the years, the Center for Armenian Studies has fostered dialogue with graduate students around the globe through our annual graduate student workshops. Together with our faculty, graduate students, and visiting and post-doctoral fellows we have pushed scholarship in Armenian Studies in new directions through our collective efforts.

The Thirteenth Annual International Graduate Student Workshop will focus on various issues related to the modern Armenian language. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the establishment of Armenian independence, de-Russification processes have allowed Eastern Armenian to gain an increasing presence in a variety of public institutions in the Republic of Armenia. At the same time, the future of the many regional dialects of Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) remains uncertain, in light of both the globalizing modern media environment and the region’s political precarity. In the diaspora, Western Armenian has been in crisis mode, even being declared an endangered language by UNESCO. Yet this crisis has also coincided with, or even itself engendered, somewhat of a resurgence, as diaspora communities continue to search for innovative ways to make Western Armenian an everyday part of individuals’ lives. In both the Republic of Armenia and the diaspora, different varieties of Armenian are constantly coming into contact with one another as well as with foreign languages such as English, Russian, and French. What effects have these circumstances had on Armenian and its speakers, and what will be the future trajectory of the language? How has the linguistic landscape of the Republic of Armenian been affected by recent and ongoing sociopolitical upheavals? What are some of the novel methodologies being used to promote the maintenance and flourishing of Western Armenian, and to what extent have these been successful? How are teachers of Armenian - both Eastern and Western - responding to this new transcultural moment that the language finds itself in? These are only some of the questions we hope to inform our discussion.

Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 

As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.

This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.

So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

In Andrea Carlson Future Cache, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  

Presented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.

Special thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Margaret Noodin, and Richard A. Wiles, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology, U-M Clements Library, and U-M Clark Map Library. For more information on the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians visit BurtLakeBand.org.

Care in Uncertain Times

As crises of public health, economic instability, authoritarian regimes, racial injustice, and climate change spread around the globe, millions are experiencing distress, conflict, uncertainty, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases, weapon wounds, and malnutrition.

This exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost, U-M Office of the President, National Endowment for the Arts, Michigan Arts and Culture Council, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and U-M Ross School of Business.

In Curriculum / Collection, an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality, time, and human interaction in relation to our environments, our wars, our relationships, and our eccentricities. 

Working in collaboration with University faculty, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.

As classes begin in Fall of 2021, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course, dive into the works themselves, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way, too.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and the Oakriver Foundation.

Abstract: The interest in using Denoising Diffusion Models (DDM) as priors for solving Bayesian inverse problems has increased rapidly in recent time. However, sampling from the resulting posterior distribution is a challenge. To address this problem, previous works have proposed approximations to skew the drift term of the diffusion. In this work, we take a different approach and utilize the specific structure of the DDM prior to define a set of intermediate and simpler posterior sampling problems, resulting in a lower approximation error compared to previous methods. We empirically demonstrate the reconstruction capability of our method for general linear inverse problems on the basis of synthetic examples and various image restoration tasks.

Graduate Student Countermapping Workshop with Cian Dayrit (March 8, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119652 119652-21843236@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 10:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Graduate students from any discipline are welcome to attend this hands-on mapping workshop as an exercise in thinking reflexively and creatively about their research. Time allotted includes a lunch after the workshop session.

Mapping is a mode of storytelling. Yet, cartography is often concentrated in the hands of the powerful. In response, “counter-mapping” has developed as a practice that empowers communities to challenge hegemonic narratives about space and foreground subaltern knowledge.

The Mapping and Counter-mapping: Methods for Art, Activism, and Scholarship two-day series also includes talks and a roundtable discussion.

Organized by Jatin Dua and Alyssa Paredes, with Francesca Conterno and Kristi Rhead.

Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Global CO2 Initiative

Phasing out fossil fuels is a primary means to fight climate change, but it alone is not enough. Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit.

Many of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change.

However, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture.

Additionally, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal, an interactive block activity, and sample products made from captured CO2.

Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism (March 8, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 84303-21621228@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison), this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art, 1650-1850.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.

Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  

In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 

By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 

“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” 

— Toni Morrison

Lead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.

We Write To You About Africa (March 8, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84304 84304-21622085@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. 

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.

Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.

Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 

We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.

You Can Lead a Horse to Water: Spatial Learning and Path Dependence in Consumer Search (March 8, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/118201 118201-21840642@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 10:00am
Location: Lorch Hall
Organized By: Department of Economics

We develop and estimate a model of consumer search with spatial learning. Consumers make inferences from previously searched objects to unsearched objects that are nearby in attribute space, generating path dependence in search sequences. The estimated model rationalizes patterns in data on online consumer search paths: search tends to converge to the chosen product in attribute space, and consumers take larger steps away from rarely purchased products. Eliminating spatial learning reduces consumer welfare by 13%: cross-product inferences allow consumers to locate better products in a shorter time. Spatial learning has important implications for product recommendations on retail platforms. We show that consumer welfare can be reduced by unrepresentative product recommendations and that consumer-optimal product recommendations depend both on consumer learning and competition between platforms.

This talk is presented by the Applied Microeconomics/Industrial Organization Seminar, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Jean Coven Speakers Fund in Economics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

"Emerging Basic Science Questions Regarding Water Transport in Polymers for Water Purification, Resource Recovery, and Energy Applications"

Join us in honor of Dr. Weber's remarkable 46-year legacy at the University of Michigan, where his impact as a scientist, educator, and mentor truly shaped the field of environmental engineering. Celebrated as one of the "One Hundred Engineers of the Modern Era" by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, his esteemed career is an inspiration to us all. Don't miss this opportunity to connect at the lecture that continues his tradition of excellence and innovation and encourage your students to do the same!

Abstract:
This presentation will focus on a foundational question regarding the transport mechanism of small molecules through polymers for liquid separations, specifically water transport through membranes being used or considered for use in, for example, desalination, resource recovery, and fuel cell membranes. Historically, the transport of small molecules, such as gases, water, ions, organic solutes, etc. through dense membranes that do not have fixed, permanent pores spanning the membrane, is described by the solution-diffusion model. In this model, small molecules partition from a contiguous fluid phase into the membrane, and the membrane/fluid interface is at thermodynamic equilibrium, so equilibrium partitioning of solutes into membranes can be modeled using the machinery of thermodynamics. The rate limiting step for transport in virtually all membranes is the diffusion of the small molecules through the membrane, typically drive by a concentration gradient, electric field, or both. Water will permeate through a membrane under the influence of a hydrostatic pressure difference. That is, a membrane exposed to a high hydrostatic pressure on one side and a low hydrostatic pressure on the other will permeate water from the high pressure to low pressure side of the membrane. This phenomenon is commonly observed in, for example, desalination membranes, such as reverse osmosis membranes. The solution-diffusion model uses thermodynamic principles to link the pressure difference across the membrane to a concentration gradient in the membrane, with water permeation occurring because of Fickian diffusion of water down its concentration gradient in the membrane.

In the past few years, studies have been published purporting to demonstrate that, in fact, water transport through such membranes is governed by a pore flow model, where water transport is presumed to occur via a network of interconnected, water-filled subnanometer channels or pores, with water flowing through the pores due to the imposed hydrostatic pressure difference across the membrane. Such pores are presumed to be too small to observe directly by any known technique, so evidence for this hypothesis comes indirectly from (primarily) water transport data and computer simulations.

A dispositive distinguishing feature between the solution-diffusion and pore flow models is the existence of a water concentration gradient inside a membrane subjected to a hydrostatic pressure gradient. In the solution-diffusion mechanism, the hydrostatic pressure difference across the membrane induces a water concentration gradient inside the membrane, and in the pore flow model, no such concentration gradient would be observed. Therefore, we have conducted experimental studies to directly measure the water concentration as a function of distance through a series of polymer membranes, including cellulose acetate, Nafion, and crosslinked hydrogels based on poly(ethylene oxide) under hydrostatic pressure differences as high as 200 bar or more. Our studies show distinct concentration gradients in all of the membrane materials considered, with the flux and concentration gradients well-described by Fick’s law of diffusion and conventional solution thermodynamics.

The University Center for the Child and Family is offering a new virtual session for the ESDM Parent Training Group in Spring 2024. The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an evidence-based treatment model for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The group is designed for parents and caregivers with children ages 5 and under who have diagnosed or suspected ASD or a Developmental Delay.

The parent training group is designed to teach parents these strategies to increase the number of intervention hours that young children receive. A secondary goal is to support parents of children with ASD/Developmental Delays and help them develop a community of parents in a similar life stage. Since it is a parent training group, children are welcome but not required to attend.

Requirements:
1. In order to enroll in the group, the caregiver must have a child ages 5 or under who has diagnosed or suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder or developmental delay (e.g. speech delay, Global Developmental Delay etc).

2. Participating families must attend one group screening/orientation session prior to the start of the group, to ensure that they are a good fit for the group. This initial screening appointment will last approximately 30-45 minutes.

When: 12 – 1 p.m. Fridays, beginning January 26 (10 weeks).
Where: Online via Zoom

Prospective clients should call UCCF at (734) 615-7853 to schedule their orientation/screening appointment.

The extensive and exceptionally preserved collections of organic artifacts and ecofacts from Karanis—a Graeco-Roman farming village in the Fayum (Egypt), excavated by the University of Michigan between 1924 and 1935—offer an untapped and unique resource for reevaluating the chronology of the site. Carbon-14 analysis on specimens of stored grains retrieved from 12 Karanis houses reveals a clear disconnect with the current dating of the domestic structures. In this Flash Talk, Laura Motta will discuss the results of such study in relation to the opportunities and challenges of radiocarbon analysis of legacy collections, both in terms of sample selection as well as ethical concerns over destructive analysis and stewardship of cultural heritage.

Kelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators, staff members, researchers, graduate students, and guests talking about their recent research or current projects. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors. They take place at noon on the first Friday of every month.

Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop for students that introduces principles and practices of equitable, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy, activism, policy, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships, center community-defined priorities, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.

**New for 2023-24, this workshop is an updated version of Ginsberg’s long-standing Entering, Engaging, and Exiting (E3) session. If you’ve attended that session in the past, you’ll gain additional knowledge from this session.**

Heartfulness Guided Meditation (March 8, 2024 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88544 88544-21836922@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 12:00pm
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*

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Digital Media Commons

In Soulscape, DSU’s solo photography exhibition, the art of portrait photography is reimagined as a journey into the soul, where each image serves as a window into the intricate landscapes of human essence. This collection emerges from a profound exploration conducted over a year and a half in an unfamiliar land, where encounters with diverse individuals have woven a rich mosaic of perspectives and stories.

Through the lens, DSU captures not merely faces but the myriad souls behind them, crafting a visual landscape that mirrors the complexity and beauty of the human condition. Each photograph in “Soulscape” is an invitation to gaze deeply into the authentic spirit of its subjects, offering a rare glimpse into the unguarded moments that define our shared humanity.

The exhibition addresses the theme of the LSA Fall 2023 semester at the University of Michigan: "Arts & Resistance." This exhibit asks us to think about resistance in different settings, and in different forms. What "arts" did Americans in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries use to resist various forms of power? The exhibit aims to show how the people of our nation's past tried to answer those questions

Organized By: LSA Biophysics

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a versatile tool for probing structure, dynamics, folding, and interactions at atomic resolution. While naturally occurring magnetically active isotopes, such as 1 H, 13 C, or 15 N, are most commonly used in biomolecular NMR, with 15 N and 13 C isotopic labeling routinely employed at the present time, 19 F is a very attractive and sensitive alternative nucleus, which offers rich information on biomolecules in solution and in the solid state. This presentation will summarize the unique benefits of solution, solid-state and in-cell 19 F NMR spectroscopy for the study of biomolecular systems. Particular focus will be placed on the most recent studies and on unique and important potential applications of fluorine NMR methodology.

Leo Zhou, DuBridge Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech, will be presenting "Quantum Advantages in Energy Minimization" as part of the Quantum Research Institute's winter seminar series from 2:00 - 3:00 pm in West Hall, Room 340 (3rd floor). A Zoom option is also provided.

Seminar Description:
Minimizing the energy of a many-body system is a fundamental problem in many fields. Although we hope a quantum computer can help us solve this problem better than classical computers, we have a very limited understanding of where a quantum advantage may be found. In this talk, I will present some recent theoretical advances that shed light on quantum advantages in this domain. First, I describe rigorous analyses of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm applied to minimize energies of classical spin glasses. For certain families of spin glasses, we find the QAOA has a quantum advantage over the best known classical algorithms. Second, we study the problem of finding a local minimum of the energy of quantum systems. While local minima are much easier to find than ground states, we show that finding a local minimum under thermal perturbations is computationally hard for classical computers, but easy for quantum computers.

AIM Seminar: Understanding the deformation of granular matter and its implications for granular locomotion (March 8, 2024 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/114767 114767-21833582@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 3:00pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics (AIM) Seminar - Department of Mathematics

Abstract: Granular matter, being an assembly of discrete particles, has complex mechanical behaviors emerging from the interactions of these particles, which often have a disordered yet non-trivial spatial arrangement. Unlike crystalline materials, the packing structure in a disordered material is often hard to describe mathematically, which prohibits us from understanding the deformation from a structure-property point of view. In this presentation, I will first present experimental results of the deformation of a layer of granular particles floating at an air-oil interface, through which I can demonstrate the elasto-plastic nature of deformation in the quasi-static regime. Based on the experimental results, a machine learning-based modeling framework was developed based on the interplay between elasticity, packing structure, and quasi-localized rearrangements of particles. The model can capture a ductile-to-brittle transition observed in the experimental system due to the change of particle properties.

In the second part of the talk, I will demonstrate the implications of the complex mechanical behaviors of granular materials for locomotion. In this problem, granular matter can be considered as a soft and yielding medium that interacts with a deforming body. I will show experimentally that a scallop-like swimmer with reciprocally flapping wings generates locomotion in granular matter, which is often not possible in Newtonian liquids at low Reynolds numbers. We use X-ray imaging and discrete element method simulations to reveal the microscopic picture of how the wings interact with surrounding particles. The locomotion is enabled by a prolonged hysteresis in the material response that originates from a combination of jamming-induced material rigidity and plastic deformation of the free surface. Cooperative effects are observed when the two wings are in close proximity, which potentially involves interaction of zones with jammed particles as well as heap building on the free surface.

We are motivated by the following problem: which curves are d-sheeted covering spaces of the projective line? We discuss the moduli space of d-sheeted coverings, the *Hurwitz Scheme,* together with a particular compactification due to Mumford and Harris. This compactification, and its relationship to the compactification of the moduli space of genus g curves, allows us to use graph-theoretic tools to help determine whether certain general curves are d-sheeted coverings of P^1.

Location: West Hall
Organized By: Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics

We live in remarkable times: the recent advent of gravitational-wave observations allows testing gravity in a strongly relativistic regime. We also have plausible candidates for UV physics that reconciles General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. But there is also Bad News: Decoupling - which beautifully explains why low-energy measurements are largely insensitive to UV details - seems a central organizing feature of Nature that thwarts the extraction of fundamental insights about UV physics from astrophysical or cosmological observations. This talk argues that all is not lost because some UV features can penetrate the decoupling barrier in interesting ways. In particular generic accidental symmetries can robustly point to the existence of scalars in the low-energy effective theory (and these are not just axions). Normally we are taught that naturalness arguments preclude these scalars from being light enough or too weakly coupled to be important for tests of gravity, but I argue that the additional information that the observed Dark Energy is so small puts us in a regime where some scalars are pseudo-dilatons (ie naturally light with Brans-Dicke couplings to matter). The question of why these scalars are not already detected motivates more detailed studies of whether screening mechanisms exist that could have hidden them from present-day tests of gravity. Crucially they must do so in a way consistent with other properties of UV completions of gravity (in a way that standard screening mechanisms - like Chameleons - are not). The talk describes new proposals for such UV-consistent screening mechanisms and why they thread a blind spot in current theoretical approaches to testing gravity. If time permits I will also explore other implications these models might have, including possible relevance to other problems like the Hubble tension.

The deep locus in a cluster variety (March 8, 2024 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/118645 118645-21841345@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 3:00pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Combinatorics Seminar - Department of Mathematics

Cluster varieties are geometric objects corresponding to cluster algebras; they have many open subsets called cluster tori. These tori cover almost all of the cluster variety, but not quite all of it; the "deep locus" is the part of the cluster variety which is not in any cluster torus. In joint work with Marco Castronovo, Mikhail Gorsky and José Simental Rodríguez, we conjecture a description of the deep locus, and prove it for braid varieties on 2 and 3 strands. In this talk, I will explain our conjecture, and I will make clear what combinatorial problem we'd need to solve in order to prove this result for all braid varieties. I will not assume that the audience has seen cluster varieties or braid varieties before and, indeed, I hope that this talk will serve as a good introduction to those topics.

Previous studies of articular cartilage in extant taxa have documented important aspects of cartilage shapes and thicknesses, but these insights remain generalized and have yet to see systematic implementation in biomechanical modeling. In my talk I will describe a new method for modeling joints that allows for testing of hypotheses about articular cartilage morphology in extinct taxa. Our case study examines the left elbow of the sauropod dinosaur Dreadnoughtus schrani using articular cartilage reconstructions constrained by extant phylogenetic bracketing (EPB). EPB investigations of alligator and chicken articular cartilage revealed the presence of a spherical anterior projection of cartilage on the distal humerus which articulates with the radius during flexion. Importantly, this shape does not directly mirror the underlying bone. I will present the results of multibody dynamic modeling of three alternative cartilage reconstructions based on these EPB findings which differ in mediolateral placement of a cartilage sphere and its anteroposterior thickness, encompassing a range of possibilities for the condition in Dreadnoughtus. Each model, include of two EPB taxa, produced distinct results that were generally similar, supporting this modeling methodology. Based on these findings, we predict that Dreadnoughtus, and presumably other extinct archosaurs, had a spherical projection of cartilage on the anterior face of the distal end of the humerus for articulation with the radius. Future studies applying these methods within a quantitative hypothesis-testing framework can advance the field of paleobiology by testing hypotheses relating shape and kinematics that are not possible with prescribed joint motions.

CANCELED - SAS Lecture Series | Towards a History of the House Museum in Postcolonial South Asia (March 8, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/115361 115361-21834574@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 4:00pm

We regret that we have had to concel this event. We apologize for any inconvenience.

On March 29, 2023, the Delhi Art Gallery (DAG) announced its purchase of the modernist painter Jamini Roy’s house as India’s first professionally run private single artist museum—the Jamini Roy House Museum. Contrary to this statement by the DAG, the conversion of artists’ homes into museums has a longer history in India.

But more significantly, the announcement is a helpful reminder that the history of the house museum remains largely unexplored in the context of South Asia. If the Industrial Revolution, the rise of the modern state, and colonial conquests gradually lent new value to the private homes of illustrious figures as publicly accessible sites for the acquisition and display of various kinds of collections in Europe and the United States, the reanimation of the house as a museum is tied to the decline of colonialism and the articulation of nationalisms in South Asia. In a departure from the imaginary of the historic house or personal collection that anchors dominant accounts of the European and/or American house museum, the conversion of homes of Indian royal, literary, political, and cinematic icons into museums is often centered on memorializing the public life and authority of the deceased individual. Here, their domestic space and effects are represented as a site of reverence with recourse to religious and secular modes of exhibition, which speaks to the museum’s place in an expanded field of South Asian visual culture and public remembrance.

By attending to the layered histories and varied modes of display that characterize particular “memorial homes” and other houses as museums in India, this talk will undertake a processual engagement with the houseness of the house museum, highlighting its potential to illuminate the densities of the relationship between museums and public culture in postcolonial South Asia.

Tankha is an art historian of modern and contemporary South Asia. His research is focused on the relationship between aesthetics, politics, and postcolonialism in India. In his current book project, tentatively titled “Nagaland and the Art of Indigenous Presence in Postcolonial South Asia,” he explores the slippage that craft objects, memorial monuments, and house museums perform across ritual and secular domains of practice, the tensions that characterize this border-crossing, and what that tells us about the contemporaneity of art and the political significance of the aesthetic in the Indigenously-inhabited, predominantly Christian, and contested state of Nagaland in northeast India.

His research and teaching draw on his graduate studies in art history and anthropology, ethnographic research on museums, archival research on photography and modern and contemporary art in India, and teaching in universities and independent educational institutions in India, the University of Toronto, and Yale University.

His work has appeared in Marg, Trans Asia Photography, Lalit Kala Contemporary, IIC Quarterly, and in the books, The Artful Pose: Early Studio Photography in Mumbai c.1855-1940 (Mapin Publishing, 2010) and No Touching, No Spitting, No Praying: the museum in South Asia, edited by Saloni Mathur & Kavita Singh (Routledge, 2015).

Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

SCOR’s annual symposium is back on March 7th - 8th and we want to know how you Express Yourself: A Celebration of Intersecting Identities! For this year's theme Express Yourself—a vibrant celebration of self-expression—we want to shed light on the creative avenues you take to navigate post-pandemic life and in light of day to day stressors. We extend a warm invitation to our attendees to share the stories of emergence, immersion, and transformation that define their unique journeys. Beyond being students or researchers, we are multifaceted individuals, shaped by diverse experiences that influence the way we present ourselves, the outlets we embrace, and the meaningful work we undertake. This symposium is your canvas to showcase your authentic selves, a sanctuary where you can be true to your identity even in the face of oppressive spaces. Through an inspiring array of presentations, workshops, showcases, and a captivating keynote address, our program aims to kindle the flame of creativity within you. Our vision is for each participant to leave feeling not only motivated but also empowered to explore their creative depths, envisioning a future marked by equity, particularly for marginalized groups. Join us as we delve into the realms of Afro-, Asian-, and Chicana-Futurism, collectively shaping a narrative that fosters imagination and propels us towards a brighter, more inclusive tomorrow. Let's embark on this transformative journey together!Each year, SCOR is proud to host an annual social justice symposium. This event is a part of SCOR’s legacy and a testament to our commitment of fostering dialogue and awareness surrounding the academic, social, and cultural journeys of graduate students of color at the University of Michigan. While the symposium is thoughtfully designed with the needs and experiences of graduate students in focus, we extend invitations to both undergraduate students and faculty, recognizing that our experiences are not only unique to us. We understand it is important to garner a supportive community. We seek support from faculty who have navigated similar paths and from other students who resonate with the symposium themes. This is also an opportune time to connect with others who are contemplating their next steps after undergraduate or masters studies. Aligned with our mission, SCOR welcomes everyone, irrespective of identities, religion, culture or abilities to participate in the symposium, showcasing the rich diversity and wealth of scholarly talent that Michigan graduate students have to offer. In pursuit of our objectives, this year's symposium revolves around the theme "Express Yourself—a vibrant celebration of self-expression." Our aim is to cultivate a safe and encouraging space for students to explore creative outlets and illuminate how their multifaceted experiences shape their research, hobbies, and other interests in the face of challenging realities.

Igor Levit (March 8, 2024 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109639 109639-21822441@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 7:30pm
Location: Hill Auditorium
Organized By: University Musical Society (UMS)

Igor Levit is like no other pianist,” proclaims The New Yorker, while The New York Times calls him “one of the most important artists of his generation.”

In this return engagement after his 2016 UMS debut, Igor Levit performs transcriptions of Beethoven’s “Eroica” Symphony and the Adagio from Mahler’s unfinished 10th symphony, as well as Paul Hindemith’s Suite “1922,” written for solo piano with several movements based on popular dances of the day, including the shimmy, Boston, and ragtime.

With an alert and critical mind, he places his art in the context of social events and understands it as inseparably linked to them. The Nizhny Novgorod native moved to Germany at age eight, and within a decade was the youngest participant in the International Arthur Rubinstein Competition, where he won silver, the special prize for chamber music, the audience prize, and the special prize for the best performance of contemporary pieces.

PROGRAM
Paul Hindemith Suite 1922
Gustav Mahler Adagio from Symphony No. 10 (arr. for piano by Ronald Stevenson)
Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 3 in E-flat Major, Op. 55 (“Eroica”) (arr. for piano by Franz Liszt)

"Good. Steady. Still." - Master of Fine Arts in Dance First Year Performance (March 8, 2024 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/119934 119934-21843840@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 8, 2024 8:00pm
Location: Dance Building
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

After a semester of curation and making, this event features works by Kiana Cook, Scott Crandall, Leah Crosby, Ginny Jiang, and Timothy Tsang, students who were enrolled in Dance 532 (Grad Performance) with Professor Charli Brissey in the winter 2024 term. *Good. Steady. Still.* is a diverse 60-minute show with original lighting design by Mary Cole.

Free tickets are available at the door starting one hour before the performance. Doors open at 7:30 and the show starts promptly at 8pm with no intermission. This performance is made possible through generous support from University of Michigan-Ann Arbor’s School of Music, Theatre & Dance.

Kiana “KC” Cook will present a work on her identity development as a mixed-race child turned woman entitled, *Steady Searchin’ for My Halo*. Scott Crandall’s *Cousin Lizzie’s First Birthday* is an experiment in how to lengthen and shrink the distance between performer and audience, and between the audience members from each other. Leah Crosby’s *Tenderizing* uses junk shop technology to tell stories about learning how to be taken care of. It is an illustrated podcast, it is a puppet show… It is basically a really emo powerpoint presentation. Ginny Jiang’s piece is filled with seemingly ridiculous, abnormal, unsafe, wary, probing actions which hint at the character of a person's body and movements. Inspired by acts of self-navigation and resistance, Ginny delves into the wilderness of thought and the meaning of wild, free-growing vitality through the power of vision and figuration. Timothy Tsang is debuting a solo as a tribute to the memory of Brian Anthony Moczygemba.

LEAH CROSBY is a multimedia artist, collaborator, and genre-bender. They are a daydream creator interested in the empathetic potential of fantasy, the use of play and pleasure, the activation of public spaces, and designing participatory events. With cheeky humor and a flair for the devastating, they use audio, performance, and games to make work that is hilariously sad. They are an MFA candidate at the Penny Stamps School of Art and Design.

Location: Detroit Observatory
Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

Experience history and astronomy at the Detroit Observatory! We are excited to start off Astronomy night with a feature talk from U-M Astronomy Professor Emily Rauscher called Weird and Wacky Weather on Extrasolar Worlds.

Many of the exoplanets that have been found orbiting around nearby stars have atmospheres completely unlike any in our Solar System. The most extreme examples have supersonic winds, clouds made of mineral and metallic dust, and even electrical currents flowing through the gas. Prof. Rauscher will discuss how we learn about these extreme examples of weather, from both observations and computer models.

Talk begins at 8PM and will be followed by tours at 8:30PM through the historic Detroit Observatory and, if weather permits, night sky observing through the historic Fitz Telescope.

You may purchase a ticket for either the talk plus telescope observing or just for telescope observing.
