Mellon Foundation\, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020\, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security\, it's not open to the general public\, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition. \n\nAbout the Artist\nSarah Rose Sharp is a Detroit-based writer\, activist\, photographer\, and multimedia artist.

For those who purchased before 12/15\, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.\n\nSynopsis:\nAn intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life\, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History\, Detroit. \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is made possible by a grant from The Andrew W.

Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more!

Theology\, Ideology and Polemic: The Image of the Rāfiḍa in al-Jāḥiẓ’s Corpus DESCRIPTION:IISS is pleased to announce the public lecture \"Theology\, Ideology and Polemic: The Image of the Rāfiḍa in al-Jāḥiẓ’s Corpus\" by Professor Hussain Abdulsater (Department of Classics\, University of Notre Dame):\n \nTexts are mirrors that can reflect sentiments and tactics that authors captured and channeled into society in their portrayals. In particular\, sectarian polemics served as discourses of legitimation in the formative period of Islamic theological schools. According to the great Muʿtazilī master Abū ʿAlī al-Jubbāʾī (d. 915)\, his ancestor the great littérateur Abū ʿUthmān al-Jāḥiẓ (d. 868-9) is famed for his obsessive compulsion to argue against the Rāfiḍa. \n\nThis talk examines how Jāḥiẓ portrayed the Imāmī community (rāfiḍa) in terms of both its theological views and its social practices. What emerges from his writings on the Rāfiḍa is an image of a community of simple-minded fanatics. One the one hand\, the Imāmīs adhere to anthropomorphic and deterministic beliefs and are blind followers of authority. On the other hand\, they are passionate believers who strongly stand in solidarity with one another. This\, for Jāḥiẓ\, explains their coalition with the superficial traditionalists against the rationalist Muʿtazilīs.\n\nPlease register at https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUqceyhpj4vGdK2ABUNb1QFv1UbVT3ZX6ih UID:78780-20123141@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78780 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Classical Studies,islam,Lecture,Middle East Studies,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201023T152336 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201029T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201029T143000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Providing a Positive Remote Work Experience OL21PPRWE01 DESCRIPTION:This session will focus on supporting a positive remote work experience.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nCOVID-19 Forecasting: Three Cheers for Simple Models\n\nAbstract:\nOver the last six months we have witnessed policymakers grappling with how to respond to the spread of COVID-19 across the globe. In the United States\, policymakers at local\, state\, and federal levels have faced difficult decisions regarding the degree to which citizens should interact with each other\, how much of the economy should be curtailed\, and how to allocate scarce testing and hospital resources. These decisions have been informed and guided by a set of epidemiological models. \n\nIn this talk\, we analyze the performance of the models used to forecast the spread of COVID-19 and relate differences in performance to differing modeling approaches and structures. For example\, some COVID-19 models are “bottom-up” and model the interactions between individuals in detail. While other models are “top-down” and attempt to capture the high-level dynamics of the spread. Some models include uncertainty\, while others are deterministic. Certain models are designed to inform policy decisions\, while others are meant to provide forecasts.\n\nWe compare the performance of these models to a simple (one-parameter) model that we have used to forecast the spread of COVID-19 at the national\, state\, and local level. Surely large models with dozens of parameters\, backed by a team of experts\, should outperform a simple model that has one input and runs in Excel. As we discuss\, a few COVID-19 models do achieve this level of success.\n\nWe will discuss this apparent paradox and the implications for decision analysis. \n\nBio:\nEric Bickel is a professor and director of both the Operations Research & Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management programs at The University of Texas at Austin. Eric holds a courtesy appointment in the Department of Information\, Risk\, and Operations Management in the McCombs School of Business and directs the Center for Engineering and Decision Analytics (CEDA).\n\nHis research interests include the theory and practice of decision analysis and its application to corporate strategy\, public policy\, and sports. His work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal\, The New York Times\, The Financial Times\, and Sports Illustrated. In addition\, Professor Bickel and his research are featured in the documentary Cool It!. His research into climate engineering was named as the top approach to address climate change by a panel of economists\, including three Nobel Laureates. He has also been a guest on the MLB Network show Clubhouse Confidential.\n\nEric joined Strategic Decisions Group in 1995\, where he remains a director and partner. He has practiced decision analysis for 25 years. He consults around the world in a range of industries\, including oil and gas\, electricity generation/transmission/delivery\, energy trading and marketing\, commodity and specialty chemicals\, life sciences\, financial services\, and metals and mining.\n\nHe is Past-President of the Decision Analysis Society.\n\nEric holds both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Engineering-Economic Systems at Stanford University and a B.S. in mechanical engineering with a minor in economics from New Mexico State University.\n\nEric claims to be the only decision analyst listed in Hollywood's Internet Movie Database (imdb.me/jericbickel).

The increase in melting has activated a dynamic surface hydrologic system contributing to significant mass loss. Surface melt runoff contributes directly to Greenland’s mass loss as well as infiltration which impact ice dynamics and mass discharge. The ice sheet has a few critical bounding forces that can influence the rate of mass loss which includes the loss of ice shelves/tongues\, enhanced calving at marine-terminating outlet glaciers\, and an evolving basal hydrologic system due to infiltration of surface melt. In particular\, the impact of surface melt water on ice dynamics via supraglacial lake drainage and runoff has been well documented. Little attention has been focused on direct injection of surface melt water into the shear margins of fast flowing\, marine-terminating outlet glaciers\, which are a critical control on mass flux. Our initial work was the first to characterize water-filled crevasse ponds within the shear margins of Jakobshavn Isbræ and assess the volume of infiltrated melt water potentially reaching the bed. In the intervening years since this seminal work\, we have utilized satellite observations and numerical models to decode the impact of hydrologic shear weakening due to melt water injection from these structures with implications for the evolution of Greenland’s other marine-terminating outlet glaciers under a warming climate.\n\nWe have constrained the theoretical impact of hydrologic shear weakening on extra-marginal ice flow using diagnostic models and provide projections for flow enhancement under future warming scenarios. For select seasons\, we assessed relationships between extra-marginal\, summer-time ice velocities and drainage of water-filled crevasses. We are starting to understand factors that drive how these crevasse systems fill and drain. We have characterized the spatial and temporal variability of melt extent over a 16 year period and assess the temporal changes in hydrologic state (filled vs. drained). Lastly\, we explore implications for how not only water-filled shear ponds but other mechanisms such as rheological modification influence the dynamics of marine-terminating outlet glacier systems. Under future regional warming scenarios\, we expect for mass discharge from Greenland’s outlet glaciers to be enhanced by perturbations to shear margins of these glacial systems.

We are born out of the bloody war of 1914-1918.” This essay is concerned with the constitution of a new people\, attending in particular to the role of images\, performance\, and practices in the project of political founding. Focusing on the 1920 and 1921 convention\, I argue that for the United Negro Improvement Association\, political founding was a vehicle through which participants came to understand themselves as constituting the figure of Universal Negro—a figure represented through the convention as a transnational and empowered political subject. Political founding was on this view a process of transforming one’s self-perception\, of cognizing oneself as a member of a transnational people politically capable of transforming the prevailing conditions of racial domination.\n\nProfessor Getachew will present a short introduction to her pre-circulated paper\; this will be followed by brief comments by Professor Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof (University of Michigan) and audience questions.\n\n***NOTE: The link to the pre-circulated paper will be supplied in the Zoom registration confirmation email.***\n\nAdom Getachew is Neubauer Family Assistant Professor of Political Science and the College at the University of Chicago.

Following the trends in cloud\, mobile\, and machine learning applications\, finding the right programming abstractions is key in unlocking this potential. A robot's code needs to sense the environment\, control the hardware\, and communicate with other robots. Current programming languages do not provide the necessary hardware platform-independent abstractions\, and therefore\, developing robot applications require detailed knowledge of signal processing\, control\, path planning\, network protocols\, and various platform-specific details. Further\, porting applications across hardware platforms becomes tedious. In this talk\, I will present our recent explorations in finding good abstractions for robot code. The end result of our research is a new language called Koord which abstracts platform-specific functions for sensing\, communication\, and low-level control and makes platform-independent control and coordination code portable and modularly verifiable.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nSayan Mitra is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research is centered around safe autonomy. He holds a PhD from MIT\, MSc from the Indian Institute of Science\, Bangalore\, and an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from Jadavpur University\, Kolkata. Sayan was a postdoctoral fellow at CalTech\, and held visiting faculty positions at Oxford University\, TU Vienna\, and Kirtland Air Force Research Laboratory. At Illinois\, his research group has created a number of the leading software tools for programming and verification of autonomous systems and have authored more than one hundred peer reviewed articles. A textbook authored by Sayan “Verifying cyber-physical systems: A path to safe autonomy” will be published by the MIT Press in February 2021. Sayan’s work has been recognized by the National Science Foundation's CAREER Award in 2011\, AFOSR Young Investigator Research Program Award in 2012\, IEEE-HKN C.

Every Latino man who drove away from their shared apartment above a small auto repair shop that day had failed to return—arrested\, one by one\, by ICE agents and local police. As the two women discussed what to do next\, a SWAT team clad in body armor and carrying assault rifles stormed the room. As Guadalupe remembers it\, \"The soldiers came in the house. They knocked down doors. They threw gas. They had guns. We were two women with small children... The kids terrified\, the kids screaming.\"\n\nIn Separated\, William D. Lopez examines the lasting damage done by this daylong act of collaborative immigration enforcement in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Exploring the chaos of enforcement through the lens of community health\, Lopez discusses deportation's rippling negative effects on families\, communities\, and individuals. Focusing on those left behind\, Lopez reveals their efforts to cope with trauma\, avoid homelessness\, handle worsening health\, and keep their families together as they attempt to deal with a deportation machine that is militarized\, traumatic\, implicitly racist\, and profoundly violent.\n\nLopez uses this single home raid to show what immigration law enforcement looks like from the perspective of the people who actually experience it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with twenty-four individuals whose lives were changed that day in 2013\, as well as field notes\, records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act\, and his own experience as an activist\, Lopez combines rigorous research with narrative storytelling. Putting faces and names to the numbers behind deportation statistics\, Separated urges readers to move beyond sound bites and consider the human experience of mixed-status communities in the small everyday towns that dot the interior of the United States.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.

After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H.

In the first part\, we will look at the opening page of selected students' novels (or of a short story) and consider how an acquisitions editor might read that page—what they might look for in an opening\, and how the story can present the best possible opening. In the second part\, we will discuss the acquisitions process (How are decisions made? What are editors looking for?) as well as publishing process\, answering practical questions (At what stage should you look for an agent? At what stage does the agent submit to editors? What kind of edits will an editor do with you? How can you be sure the integrity of your work is protected during the publication process?). Attendees will come away feeling that the acquisitions and publishing process has been demystified to some degree.\n\n\nMegha Majumdar’s debut novel\, *A Burning*\, follows three unforgettable characters whose lives are entangled in the wake of a catastrophe in contemporary India. Her work tackles class\, fate\, corruption\, justice\, and what it feels like to face profound obstacles and yet nurture big dreams in a country spinning toward extremism. \n\nMajumdar was born and raised in Kolkata\, India. She moved to the United States to attend college at Harvard University\, where she was a Traub Scholar\, followed by graduate school in social anthropology at Johns Hopkins University. She works as an associate editor at Catapult\, and lives in New York City.\n\n\nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (BA ’64\, LLDHon ’13).

The first presentation serves as an introduction to an important theoretical idea or method in the field (the Foundations). The second presentation concerns the application of that idea or method to an innovative topic\, thus exploring the Frontiers of the field in a way that highlights the significance of the theoretical idea.\n\nFrederike Petzschner is a Carney Institute Fellow in the Center for Computational Brain Science and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University. Dr. Petzschner will give two presentations on October 30: \n\nA Brief History of Computation (Foundations presentation)\nOur notion of what the capabilities and function of the brain and mind are has evolved fundamentally in the past century. As a result\, we have moved from early Psychophysics to Behaviorism to the Cognitive Revolution\, when theories of computation entered the forefront of modern Cognitive Science. This history and the fundamental questions posed at different times provide a great deal of insight into our modern thinking and paves the way where the field might take us in the future. In this lecture\, I will try to provide a short guide through the history of computation and discuss what could be learned from it.\n\nComputational Approaches for Mental Health (Frontiers presentation)\nThe growing field of Computational Psychiatry provides a prime example of how theories of computation may provide not only insights into the function of healthy minds but also mental disorders. In this lecture\, I will discuss three examples of where we apply computational methods to understand learning\, perception or decision-making in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder\, Gambling Addiction and Disorders of Interoception.\n\nPresentation Schedule (EST):\n11:00 - 11:30 am.

We recently combined single-molecule quantification of mRNA and gene loci to measure the transcriptional activity of an endogenous gene in\nindividual Escherichia coli bacteria. When interpreted using a theoretical model for mRNA dynamics\, the single-cell data allowed us to obtain the probabilistic rates of promoter switching\, transcription initiation and elongation\, mRNA release and degradation. Unexpectedly\, we found that gene activity can be strongly coupled to the transcriptional state of another copy of the same gene present in the cell\, and to the event of gene replication during the bacterial cell cycle. These gene-copy and cell-cycle correlations demonstrate the limits of mapping whole-cell mRNA numbers to the underlying stochastic gene activity and highlight the contribution of previously hidden variables to the observed population heterogeneity.

This panel explores what is gained or lost when grouping people into naturalized territorial categories\, as well as the agency of historical actors in rejecting or reconstituting these categories. Panelists will reflect on tensions between the boundedness of pre-given units of analysis and the freedom of historical actors to deploy\, contest\, or radically re-imagine the dominant ordering of their worlds from a diverse set of geographic and temporal perspectives: museums in late imperial Russia\, gender and power in the Yuan court\, interwar population exchanges in the Balkans\, and multiculturalism and policing in 1980s Los Angeles.\n\nFeaturing:\nAlbert Cavallaro\, Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan \nAndrea Valedón-Trapote\, Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan \nDavid Helps\, Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan \nLediona Shahollari\, Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan \nMichael Witgen (chair)\, Professor\, American Culture & History\, University of Michigan\n\nFree and open to the public.

The events of August 11th and 12th during Charlottesville’s “Summer of Hate” have also produced a group of iconic images that the mass media relies on to signify the violent and emboldened racist hatred of the “Unite the Right” rally and its aftermath. In analyzing and comparing the most frequently circulated photographs\, I want to suggest a similarity in the narrative that these frequently circulated photos tend to tell about the struggle for racial justice. A photo of the terrorist car attack that killed Heather Heyer won the Pulitzer Prize. Why? What is this horrifically chaotic\, violent\, almost visually incomprehensible photo communicating? Why is this image reproduced over and over again? How is it thematically and visually similar to iconic images from the civil rights era? How and why does it matter that our photographic record encourages us to remember key events around race and white supremacy in particular ways?\n\nAniko Bodroghkozy is a Professor of Media Studies at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville where she has been on faculty since 2001. She is a media historian with a particular focus on American television\, the social change movements of the 1960s\, media audiences and reception practices in historical context\, and the development of television journalism in the 1960s.

These reflected signals can be radar\, IR\, visual\, or acoustic. For military platforms stealth is one way to improve survivability. In the late 70s the first airplane designed with stealth as its main feature was the F-117A. It proved that major improvements in survivability were possible using entirely new design criteria. All modern military vehicles incorporate stealth to some degree in their design.\n\nHowever\, the challenge is that designing for stealth compromises vehicle performance and cost. In the real world this is a difficult tradeoff. Improved stealth characteristics are very costly and must be considered carefully compared to other characteristics such as speed and altitude.\n\nBefore the F-117A there was an earlier airplane that had some major stealth components. Do you know what airplane this is? Find out on Friday.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nMr. Carichner went to work for the Lockheed Skunk Works after earning his BS in Engineering and MS in Engineering degrees from UCLA. He retired in 2013 after 48 years at the Skunk Works where he worked on most of the company’s high-profile programs. During his career he started out as an aerodynamicist and eventually became Head of Aerodynamics for the Skunk Works. Future program assignments were either Chief Engineer or Program Manager positions. As Chief Engineer for the JASSM Program he was selected as Lockheed’s Inventor of the Year.\n\nThe last 15 years of his career were dedicated to lighter-than-air designs. He created the Aerocraft Program whose design resulted in a hybrid airship demonstrator that had many airplane flight characteristics that has changed the course of future airship design. \n\nCurrently\, Mr. Carichner teaches Airplane Design at Cal Poly Pomona\nMr. Carichner has written two textbooks. One on airplane design and another on airship design. Both books are published by the AIAA.\n\nFundamentals of Aircraft and Airship Design: Volume I - Aircraft Design\nFundamentals of Aircraft and Airship Design: Volume II - Airship Design and Case Studies UID:78969-20162610@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78969 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Aerospace,aerospace engineering LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201027T181540 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201030T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201030T141500 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Rackham 101: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome DESCRIPTION:You’re awesome and so is this interactive workshop that will share research based strategies and practical tips for overcoming imposter syndrome.\nThis workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

These frequent lexical patterns -- which are dictated more by convention within the language than by grammatical or semantic restrictions -- are called collocations (Wolter & Yamashita\, 2013). During my talk\, I will present preliminary data from a dual lexical decision task (LDT) where we examine the processing advantage of collocations over unconnected word pairs in both native and nonnative speakers. I will discuss what we have\nlearned so far about the underlying factors\, such as word frequency\, collocation frequency\, and first language influence\, which collectively and interactively impact the processing of collocation in speakers varying in language proficiency and dominance.

It was the first legislation for women’s voting rights. Not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 were voting rights of ALL women protected and enforced\, and intimidation tactics progressively eliminated.  The Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote poster campaign\, organized by AIGA in partnership with the League of Women Voters\, commemorates this milestone. A core group of invited women of design submitted the first 65 non-partisan posters\, to launch the initiative with their vision and voices. Through the posters\, these women joined forces to collectively contribute to dialogue in design and society. This moment in history is an incredible opportunity to catalyze women in design\, voting rights\, citizenship\, community\, and diversity. The collection aspires to not only support present day voter participation\, but to also serve as a backdrop for discourse and examination of the history of voting rights and women’s fight for equality.  The poster initiative continues at aiga.org/vote\, where AIGA members can contribute posters to motivate the American public to register and turn out to vote in the 2020 general election\, as well as local elections to come. Posters are available for free download online.\n\nThe Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote exhibition at Stamps Gallery includes a selection of the 65 posters chosen by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V. Johnson\, Francis Nunoo-Quarcoo\, Endi Poskovic\, Destini Riley\, and Stamps Gallery.

Intentionally minimal\, each image distills an interaction\, traumatic incident\, or power imbalance into an accessible visual narrative. Recognizable objects such as chairs\, roots\, ladders\, or spotlights set the stage for the story to unfold. Events are captured midstream\, suspended in time like a felt film still.\n\nThe exhibition is inspired\, in part\, by the courage\, testimony\, and experiences of women (like Christine Blasey Ford) who publicly report assault\, harassment\, or misconduct. The #MeToo movement gave voice to thousands of women to tell their personal stories\, but also exposed a hostile backlash meant to silence them. The title\, “Real and Imagined\,” is a deliberate contradiction\; if one is true\, the other must not be. In practice\, however\, both terms are used to reference a woman’s testimony and determine how it is publicly interpreted. Her account is accepted as truthful by many and simultaneously dismissed as imaginary by the court of public opinion: “her memory is wrong\,” “she imagined it.”\n\nThe works in “Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations” make difficult conversations and relationships tangible by stripping them down to their essentials.\n\nWordless physical gestures highlight the psychological and emotional forces at play behind even the smallest of interactions.\n\nBiography\nHeidi Kumao has created award-winning experimental films\, video installations\, cinema machines\, electronic clothing\, and kinetic sculptures. She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including shows at Art Science Museum Singapore\, Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona\, Fundació Joan Miró (Barcelona)\, and Museu da Imagem e do Som (São Paulo). She has received fellowships from the Creative Capital Foundation\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She is a professor at the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nFall 2020 Hours and Policies\nBeginning September 15\, 2020\, Stamps Gallery will be open to University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 pm.\nAll visitors must have a valid M-Card to enter Stamps Gallery.

National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races\, genders\, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality\, structural racism\, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the stakeholders in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality\, belonging\, respect?

In spite of being a ubiquitous volatile element in the Earth and abundantly present in the Earth’s mantle\, the behavior of nitrogen (N) in the mantle and exchange of N between the surficial and deeper terrestrial reservoirs have only gained attention recently. Previous studies have estimated the recycling efficiency of N (the percentage of incoming N in subduction zones surviving the arc filter and entering the deep mantle) by difference of incoming and volcanic outgassing fluxes\; these have obtained disparate estimates ranging between 0% to 80-92%. Also\, such an approach ignores the possibility that a fraction of the N released from the subducted slab may not be outgassed but rather sequestered in the overriding plate. Here I empirically constrain the recycling efficiency of N by focusing on the mechanism of N transfer from slabs by aqueous fluids and/or hydrous partial melts\, addressing a broad range of thermal regimes applicable in modern-day subduction zones. I find that globally 45-74% of incoming N in subduction zones survives past the arc magmatism filter and enters the deep mantle. I will briefly discuss the possible implications of such recycling efficiency on the evolution of the atmosphere and the mantle through time.

Hence the statistics of the neutron distribution become non-trivial (non-Poisson)\, and each statistical moment (mean\, variance etc) carries independent information. This wealth of information was originally used only to determine subcritical reactivity during start-up (Feynman-alpha method) from the first two moments of the detector counts. However\, the number of applications and corresponding new methods has exploded in the last two decades with new areas such as neutron fluctuations in accelerator driven systems (ADS) and multiplicity counting of neutrons and photons for nuclear safeguards\, including developments in the detection statistics. \nThe talk will give an overview of both the principles of the methods\, including an essay on the forward and adjoint forms of the master equations and their moments\, as well as of the latest developments and applications\, such as using fluctuations in the detector current to replace pulse counting techniques. This latter means that the statistical information of discrete underlying events can be unfolded from the continuous random processes which they induce. One advantage of such a method is that it is free from the dead time problem\, present in pulse counting techniques. Thus the application area can be extended to high count rate processes\, such as multiplicity measurements of high activity spent fuel or reactivity measurements by the Feynman- or Rossi-alpha methods in power reactors. \n\nBio\nImre Pázsit is full professor at the Department of Physics\, Division of Subatomic\, High Energy and Plasma Physics\, Nuclear Engineering Group\, at Chalmers University of Technology\, Göteborg\, Sweden. His research interests are transport theory of neutral and charged particles\; fluctuations in neutron transport and atomic collision cascades\; theory of multiplicity in nuclear safeguards\; reactor diagnostics based on noise analysis including diagnostics of two-phase flow\; elaboration of inverse methods in neutron noise diagnostics\; intelligent computing methods such as artificial neural networks and wavelet analysis\, and\, recently\, fractional kinetics and fractional diffusion processes. \nProf. Pázsit has published over 210 articles in international journals. Together with L. Pál\, he authored the book “Neutron Fluctuations – a Treatise on the Theory of Branching Processes”\, Elsevier (2008). He is a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society\, a Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences\, and the fourth recipient of the Leo Szilard Medal of the Hungarian Nuclear Society (2016).

After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H.

After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more!

This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security\, it's not open to the general public\, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition. \n\nAbout the Artist\nSarah Rose Sharp is a Detroit-based writer\, activist\, photographer\, and multimedia artist.

After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

Potential contributors to depressive symptoms have been identified at the genomic and environmental levels\, though the mechanisms by which these factors independently and jointly influence depression risk remain unclear. Although the recent development of genomic technology has fueled substantial progress in identifying the genomic variation associated with major depression\, genes alone do not fully predict who will develop depression. As responsivity to social support varies between individuals\, sensitivity to the social environment may be one mechanism linking identified genomic variation and depressive symptoms. This talk will present the results of two studies assessing whether changes in social support affect the likelihood of depression development differently across the spectrum of genomic risk\, and discuss implications for understanding depressive symptom etiology and clinical practice.

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork\, her experience reporting for People magazine\, and dozens of interviews with photographers\, journalists\, publicists\, magazine editors\, and celebrities\, Díaz examines the racialized and gendered labor involved in manufacturing and selling relatable celebrity personas. The predominantly male Latino paparazzi can face life-threatening situations and endure vilification that echoes anti-immigrant rhetoric. On the other hand\, celebrity reporters\, most of whom are white women\, are expected to leverage their sexuality to generate coverage\, which makes them vulnerable to sexual exploitation and assault. In pointing out the precarity of those who hustle to make a living by generating the bulk of celebrity media\, Díaz highlights the profound inequities of the systems that provide consumers with 24/7 coverage of their favorite stars. Highlighting the highly visual nature of Manufacturing Celebrity\, this talk explores the main themes and theoretical frameworks of the book while engaging with several of the images that fill its pages. \n\nVanessa Díaz is a multimedia ethnographer and journalist whose work focuses on issues of race\, gender\, and labor in popular culture across the Americas. Grounded in her experience as a red carpet reporter for People magazine\, Díaz’s first book Manufacturing Celebrity: Latino Paparazzi and Women Reporters in Hollywood focuses on hierarchies of labor as well as racial and gender politics in the production of celebrity-focused media. Díaz is a co-author of UCLA’s 2017 Hollywood Diversity Report\, director of the film Cuban HipHop: Desde el Principio\, and the media editor for Transforming Anthropology. Her research has been profiled in such outlets as the Atlantic\, the Los Angeles Times\, and NBC News. Díaz is an assistant professor in the Department of Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies at Loyola Marymount University.

It was the first legislation for women’s voting rights. Not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 were voting rights of ALL women protected and enforced\, and intimidation tactics progressively eliminated.  The Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote poster campaign\, organized by AIGA in partnership with the League of Women Voters\, commemorates this milestone. A core group of invited women of design submitted the first 65 non-partisan posters\, to launch the initiative with their vision and voices. Through the posters\, these women joined forces to collectively contribute to dialogue in design and society. This moment in history is an incredible opportunity to catalyze women in design\, voting rights\, citizenship\, community\, and diversity. The collection aspires to not only support present day voter participation\, but to also serve as a backdrop for discourse and examination of the history of voting rights and women’s fight for equality.  The poster initiative continues at aiga.org/vote\, where AIGA members can contribute posters to motivate the American public to register and turn out to vote in the 2020 general election\, as well as local elections to come. Posters are available for free download online.\n\nThe Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote exhibition at Stamps Gallery includes a selection of the 65 posters chosen by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V. Johnson\, Francis Nunoo-Quarcoo\, Endi Poskovic\, Destini Riley\, and Stamps Gallery.

The Unintended Consequences of International Support for Civil Resistance Campaigns: Evidence from Syria DESCRIPTION:The 2020 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme is \"The Arab Spring: 10 Years Later.\"\n(Please register at http://myumi.ch/jxDBz\; a Zoom link will be emailed to you the day of the event.)\n \nAbout the Presentation:\n How does international engagement influence the course of nonviolent campaigns against repressive dictatorships? In this week’s CMENAS colloquium\, Matthew Cebul considers this question in the aftermath of the 2011 Syrian Revolution. Matthew contends that international encouragement for peaceful protest may shape protesters' behavior in ways that counterintuitively increase the likelihood of violent conflict onset\, with implications for ongoing U.S. efforts to support pro-democracy movements.\n \n About the Speaker:\n Matthew Cebul is a WCED Postdoctoral Fellow for 2019-21. His research agenda lies at the intersection of international security and comparative politics\, with a regional focus on the Middle East. Matthew’s dissertation and book project\, “Repression and Rebellion in the Shadow of Foreign Intervention\,” investigates two puzzling aspects of mass resistance to autocratic regimes: (1) why opposition mobilization sometimes persists despite extreme repression\; and (2) why some resistance movements remain nonviolent\, while others embrace armed rebellion. Whereas existing scholarship attributes this variation to a number of domestic factors\, Matthew analyzes how the possibility of international support conditions the opposition’s response to regime violence. Drawing on original interview and survey data from the 2011 Syrian Revolution\, the project reveals a troubling relationship: while the expectation of foreign support can encourage nonviolent mobilization\, emboldened movements are also more likely to experience excessive exposure to repression\, and are consequently at greater risk of violent radicalization. As a postdoctoral fellow\, Matthew will continue to develop his book manuscript\, incorporating data from both contemporary and historical cases of resistance to autocracy. He will also advance a series of related projects\, including research exploring how dissidents assess the likelihood of repression\, the effects of sectarian geographies on the efficacy of repression\, and U.S. support for democratization as a function of opposition structure.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

This seminar will highlight the first evidence for the rare Higgs boson decay to muons\, achieved by the CMS Collaboration using the full dataset collected at 13 TeV during Run-2 of the LHC. This milestone was achieved earlier than expected thanks to the excellent performance of the CMS detector\, with high-precision tracking and muon reconstruction systems\, and also through the development of novel analysis strategies that include intensive use of machine learning techniques. The first set of measurements of the Higgs boson properties through the muon decay channel is also presented\, with the observed signal well consistent with the standard model predictions.\n\n UID:77200-19822146@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/77200 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201117T123032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201102T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201102T164500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:KPMG Ideation Challenge (KIC) National Information Session DESCRIPTION:KPMG Ideation Challenge (KIC)\nLooking to crack complex business issues with data-driven ideas and the power of technology?

National guidelines currently recommend 12 to 14 in-person prenatal visits for all patients regardless of medical or social needs. This schedule recommends more care for low-risk women than peer countries with better outcomes that the U.S.\, and has remained unchanged since 1930\, failing to adapt to the needs of modern patients. Current prenatal care has also failed to address significant inequities in maternity care: low-income and black patients less likely to receive recommended services before delivery\, and are more likely to suffer from severe maternal morbidity and mortality in pregnancy. \n\nAlthough we know that prenatal care services (e.g. laboratory tests and vaccinations) are evidence based\, these evidence-based services can be delivered in fewer than 14 visits. There is also evidence that patients do not need to visit clinics in person to receive all maternity services. This schedule results in overutilization of care for low-risk pregnant patients\, and potential access issues for patients with more intense needs in pregnancy. In this talk\, we will review the evidence supporting prenatal care and new delivery models. We will then introduce a new conceptual model for redesigning prenatal care to meet patients’ diverse medical and social needs\, and demonstrate how this model can be used to test new models of prenatal care to drive appropriate resource allocation. We will conclude with early findings from new models that were launched during the COVID-19 pandemic with a focus on ensuring new prenatal care delivery is effective\, efficient and equitable. \n\nDr. Alex Peahl is an Obstetrician Gynecologist and physician-investigator in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on how to improve the effectiveness\, efficiency and equity of reproductive health care through developing\, studying and disseminating high-quality maternity care interventions. She is a nationally recognized expert on prenatal care redesign and innovation and has completed seminal studies and thought pieces on how to best incorporate patients’ preferences and needs into rightsized prenatal care plans: plans that match patients’ needs to services delivered. She is the research lead for prenatal care redesign at the University of Michigan\, and new guidelines driven by her team were recognized by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists as the example for nationwide practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. She is currently leading the Michigan Plan for Appropriate\, Tailored Healthcare in Pregnancy\, a national consensus process to develop new prenatal care guidelines in pregnancy. \n \nThis seminar series is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach.

After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

Registration link below.\n\n During the eleventh century\, literati tried for the first time to capture the living urban landscape in writing. As a new literary subject\, the urban streetscape afforded scope for original effects\, but literati also wrote the city for ideological reasons. On the written page\, they could set themselves apart—as individuals in the anonymous crowd\, as connoisseurs among spendthrift nobles—as they could not in the streets and markets of the dense metropolis\, and they could conform the confusing movement of people\, goods\, and money to a moral economy of perfect circulation and equitable distribution\, as they could not in practical administration.\n \n Christian de Pee is Associate Professor of History at the University of Michigan. He is the author of \"The Writing of Weddings in Middle-Period China: Text and Ritual Practice in the Eighth through Fourteenth Centuries\" (2007) and co-editor of \"Senses of the City: Perceptions of Hangzhou and the Southern Song\, 1127-1279\" (2017).

Intentionally minimal\, each image distills an interaction\, traumatic incident\, or power imbalance into an accessible visual narrative. Recognizable objects such as chairs\, roots\, ladders\, or spotlights set the stage for the story to unfold. Events are captured midstream\, suspended in time like a felt film still.\n\nThe exhibition is inspired\, in part\, by the courage\, testimony\, and experiences of women (like Christine Blasey Ford) who publicly report assault\, harassment\, or misconduct. The #MeToo movement gave voice to thousands of women to tell their personal stories\, but also exposed a hostile backlash meant to silence them. The title\, “Real and Imagined\,” is a deliberate contradiction\; if one is true\, the other must not be. In practice\, however\, both terms are used to reference a woman’s testimony and determine how it is publicly interpreted. Her account is accepted as truthful by many and simultaneously dismissed as imaginary by the court of public opinion: “her memory is wrong\,” “she imagined it.”\n\nThe works in “Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations” make difficult conversations and relationships tangible by stripping them down to their essentials.\n\nWordless physical gestures highlight the psychological and emotional forces at play behind even the smallest of interactions.\n\nBiography\nHeidi Kumao has created award-winning experimental films\, video installations\, cinema machines\, electronic clothing\, and kinetic sculptures. She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including shows at Art Science Museum Singapore\, Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona\, Fundació Joan Miró (Barcelona)\, and Museu da Imagem e do Som (São Paulo). She has received fellowships from the Creative Capital Foundation\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She is a professor at the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nFall 2020 Hours and Policies\nBeginning September 15\, 2020\, Stamps Gallery will be open to University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 pm.\nAll visitors must have a valid M-Card to enter Stamps Gallery.

Marrero DESCRIPTION:This event is designed for U-M IOE PhD students and faculty and is also open to all U-M students\, faculty and staff.\n\nTitle:\nGenetic Testing Strategies and Flexible Treatment Plans for the Management of Cardiovascular Diseases\n\nAbstract:\nCardiovascular diseases are considered the leading cause of death in the US and worldwide. The management of cardiovascular diseases can be improved by (1) incorporating novel procedures\, such as genetic testing\, and (2) providing physicians and their patients with flexibility in the implementation of protocols. To understand the clinical and policy implications of genetic testing in cardiovascular diseases\, I present a thoroughly validated simulation model to evaluate the impact of genetic information across different populations in the US. Building upon this work\, I illustrate a framework that combines dynamic programming with value of information analysis to simultaneously determine optimal cholesterol treatment and genetic testing decisions. To benefit from experts’ opinions and allow for users’ preferences in the implementation of mathematical models\, I next introduce a framework that integrates approximate dynamic programming and statistical multiple comparisons to obtain sets of near-optimal treatment choices. By analyzing the structure of the sets\, I characterize their behavior with respect to the modeling data and identify when they can be ordered according to the context of the problem. I show how this method can be applied in medical practice by finding hypertension treatment plans for a large population in the US. To conclude my talk\, I will discuss future opportunities at the intersection of operations research and statistics to support medical decision-making in practice.\n\nBio:\nWesley’s research interest lies at the intersection of operations research and statistics\, with an emphasis on stochastic simulation and optimization to support decision-making in practice. His current research addresses healthcare applications at a population and patient level. Using population-level data\, he focuses on modeling future supply\, demand\, and allocation of organs for transplantation. Using patient-level data\, he develops personalized treatment plans and testing strategies for cardiovascular diseases. Wesley has an ongoing collaboration with the University of Michigan Hospital Medical School\, the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan\, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.\n\nWesley is a recipient of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. Throughout his Ph.D. studies\, he has also received the Judith Liebman Award and an honorable mention in the Minority Issues forum from the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences\, an American Statistical Association sponsored best poster award at the Michigan Student Symposium for Interdisciplinary Statistical Sciences\, as well as a Rackham Merit Fellowship. In addition to his Ph.D. in Industrial and Operations Engineering\, Wesley is partaking in the dual master’s program offered by the Department of Statistics at the University of Michigan.

For those who purchased before 12/15\, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.\n\nSynopsis:\nAn intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life\, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies.

Although urban children were significantly less gender essentialist than their rural peers\, and older children were less gender essentialist than younger children\, we consistently found the main effect of higher gender essentialism relating to prejudice. Furthermore\, essentialist beliefs about the immutability of gender were the most significant component of essentialism that relates to prejudice. These findings support the possibility that interventions can be created to lower gender essentialist beliefs in order reduce the prejudice against gender nonconforming children.\n\nBio: Rachel investigates how children and adults perceive non-discrete identities (for ex.being multiracial\, gender nonconforming or a dual national) and how this relates to their beliefs about race\, gender and nationality.\n\nZachery Reese:\n\nTitle: Competition within Relationships\n\nAbstract: People in the U.S. strive for achievement\, individuality\, and glory while simultaneously striving to build and maintain close relationships.

Matter at these conditions defines the exciting and challenging field of High Energy Density Physics (HEDP). Besides vast experimental resources\, there exists a rich set of computational tools that model the micro to macro regimes of HEDP. Recently\, there has been a resurgence in interest in using a “simpler” approach to investigating HEDP based on quantum hydrodynamics. Quantum Hydrodynamics (QHD) has a long and interesting history\, dating back to the first developments by Madelung and Bohm. In this talk\, we discuss the historical and recent developments in QHD\, including pitfalls\, as applied to quantum many-body systems relevant to HEDP regimes. We will present three different approaches to deriving the QHD equations-Madelung\, Bloch\, and Wigner and discuss their pros and cons. Finally\, the role that Rayleigh-Taylor hydrodynamic instabilities play is discussed within the QHD formalism. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nFrank Graziani received a BS in physics from Santa Clara U.\, and a PhD in physics from UCLA.

Metabolites are direct products of enzymatic reactions and provide a snapshot of cellular activities. Metabolomics-based research has already had a profound impact on biomarker discovery\, nutritional analysis\, and other biomedical and biological discoveries. The most pressing problem in metabolomics however is identifying compounds in the sample-under-study from the metabolomics measurements. Current analysis tools are capable of annotating only a small portion of sample measurements. \n\nIn this talk\, we present machine learning solutions to three challenges related to the interpretation of metabolomics data. To mimic the function of a mass spectrometer in generating a mass spectrum\, we use graph neural networks to translate a molecular structure into its respective spectral signature. To interpret the biological measurements in the context of the biological sample\, we use Bayesan learning to deduce the likelihood of pathway activities. To suggest putative candidate molecules that are biologically relevant matches to the measured spectra\, we explore several methods for predicting possible enzymatic products. We discuss several results\, highlighting the value of using machine learning for advancing metabolomics analysis.\n\nShort bio: Soha Hassoun is Professor and Past Chair of the Department of Computer Science at Tufts University.

In the wake of the Soviet collapse\, they are remnants of a process of aggressive industrialization that thrust Armenia headlong into the age of high modernity. Like other modern ruins\, from a distance\, these industrial carcasses stand as poignant allegories of failed utopian projects\, both socialist and capitalist. But up close\, they are sites of improbable livelihood practices that defy familiar critique. Based on archaeological and ethnographic fieldwork in decommissioned Soviet factories across Armenia\, this research examines deviant projects at the margins of global capitalism to retain industrial lifeways and make a living under conditions of ruination. ‘Trials of ruination’ refers to the struggle to unlock or forgo the salvage value of Soviet machines and factories undergoing slow\, irreversible decay. These trials enlist people into acts of constant improvisation. A ‘life extempore’ is one in which the primary tactic for capturing or forestalling salvage value is perpetual extemporization\, doing things one never planned or was trained to do. This talk focuses on the improvisational practices of two extemporists in the cities of Yerevan and Yeghegnadzor\, and their efforts to revalue the anachronistic but persistent material world of Soviet industry\, a massive accumulation of displaced socialist things out of proper time.\n \nLori Khatchadourian is Associate Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Cornell University. Her research centers on the relationship between imperialism and the vast world of material things. As both an archaeologist of Armenia and the Near East\, as well as a scholar of the Soviet and post-Soviet Caucasus\, Dr. Khatchadourian pursues this concern with the materiality of empire across temporal and disciplinary boundaries—ancient and modern\, archaeological and ethnographic. She is the author of “Imperial Matter: Ancient Persia and the Archaeology of Empires” (UC Press\, 2016). Her current book project centers on the ruins of modernity in Armenia. Dr. Khatchadourian is co-director of Project ArAGATS and directs the Afterlife of Socialist Modernity project.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at armenianstudies@umich.edu.
