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.

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!

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 exhibition includes posters by Audrey Bennett\, Johanna Björk\, Karen Cheng\, Emily Comfort\, Jenny El-Shamy\, Dinah Fried\, Karin Fong\, Anne M.

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. 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.

This thermalized population is too cold to be visible in traditional direct detection. In this talk I outline a few detection strategies including accelerating this slow dark matter with metastable nuclear isomers or with electrostatic accelerators like LUNA. Intriguingly such a terrestrial component could explain the neutron bottle-beam anomaly and can cause anomalous heating in cryogenic detectors.

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.

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.

Increasingly\, researchers and higher education institutions are paying attention to college student mental health\, but less of this focus has considered the specific contextual experiences\, challenges\, and supports relevant to Black students’ mental health as they enter and navigate predominantly White institutions (PWI). College student research shows that\, along with the social and academic challenges of college experienced by most/all students\, Black students routinely report negative race-related experiences in their PWI settings - microaggressions and discrimination\; biased stereotype-based treatment\, low expectations\; and both isolation/exclusion and hypervisibility (over-monitoring as suspicious or dangerous) due to race. Black students’ racially marginalizing experiences are sometimes tied to students’ multiple identities (e.g.\, their race along with their ethnicity\, gender\, socioeconomic status\, or sexual orientations\, among other identities). Such devaluing experiences have been linked to poorer academic achievement and persistence outcomes\, but these experiences likely function to undermine mental health as well.\n\n\nNow more than ever\, a focus on Black college student mental health is critical. In 2020\, Black students are entering their college campuses (in-person or remotely) after a summer of widespread protests against anti-Black police violence and systemic racism\, sparked by public witnessing of videos depicting murders and brutalizing of Black Americans by police. Many Black students are also coming from communities disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic\, and with the knowledge that these differential impacts are directly and indirectly due to systemic racism. Thus\, while Black students bring many personal and cultural strengths to their campuses that can be leveraged to support their positive college adjustment\, they also experience unique challenges and vulnerabilities due to racism - both on their campuses and in the broader society - that can undermine their well-being and thriving on campus. Higher education must be accountable in understanding Black student experiences and\, importantly\, acting on this knowledge to meet the goals of supporting and serving all students equitably. \n\n\nThis webinar will feature the research of three scholars actively engaged in research on the positive mental health of Black college students. All are grant recipients of the 2020 National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID) Pop-Up Grant program cycle\, themed around Mental Health among Marginalized Communities\, and co-sponsored in partnership with The Steve Fund. Each scholar will share research findings yielded from their grant projects and outline specific implications and recommendations for research and action.\n\nModerator/Facilitator:\n\n· Tabbye Chavous\, *NCID Director and Professor of Psychology and Education\, University of Michigan*\n\n\nPanelists:\n\n· Seanna Leath\, *Assistant Professor\, Department of Psychology\, University of Virginia*\n\n· Martinique Jones\, *Assistant Professor\, Department of Psychology and Counseling\, University of North Texas*\n\n· Carmen McCallum\, *Department of Leadership and Counseling\, Eastern Michigan University* UID:78024-19955553@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78024 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Diversity Equity And Inclusion,Equity,Faculty,Inclusion,Mental Health,Staff,Diversity LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201102T123958 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201105T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201105T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CEW+ Lunch and Learn | A Roadmap to Virtual Home Learning Success: Tips for Student Parents DESCRIPTION:Click to RSVP and to receive the Zoom link by email: cew.umich.edu/events/cew-lunch-and-learn-a-roadmap-to-virtual-home-learning-success-tips-for-student-parents\n\nThe pandemic has brought many challenges for parents who have children in virtual school-at-home situations while the parents are also still working – either in the office\, from home\, and/or in school.

Music provides a place for the early theorization of sound as an active force operating in registers that are at once spiritual (accounting for the summoning of unseen gods and spirits)\, scientific (producing hypotheses regarding the principles underlying action at a distance)\, aesthetic (conceptualizing how and why people may be more or less affectively moved)\, and deeply embodied (positing figurations of the human form as a resonance chamber). In this talk\, I focus on the chanting of Buddhist sacred text in medieval Japan\, in order to excavate Buddhist theories of sound – and particularly human-produced sound – as capable of acting on and in the space-time of lived reality.\n \nCharlotte Eubanks is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and Asian Studies at Penn State. They study the material culture of books and word/image relations\, with a focus on Japanese literature from the medieval period to the present. Their first book\, entitled *Miracles of Book and Body: Buddhist Textual Culture and Medieval Japan* (University of California Press\, 2011)\, examines the relationship between human body and sacred text in the Buddhist literary tradition\, focusing on reading as a performance-based act which bridges the text-flesh barrier. Their second book (*The Art of Persistence: Akamatsu Toshiko and the Visual Cultures of Transwar Japan*\, U Hawai'i Press\, 2020) moves to the 20th century. Through a microhistory of the artist Akamatsu Toshiko (Maruki Toshi\, 1912-2000)\, the book outlines the possibilities for anti-war and anti-colonial thought in imperial Japan. Their third book will return to the medieval Buddhist world\, with a phenomenological examination of the literary corpus of the 13th century Zen master Dōgen. Their articles have appeared in venues including *Book History\, The Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies\, Ars Orientalis\, The Japanese Journal of Religious Studies\, PMLA*\, and *Word & Image*. Charlotte is Head of the Department of Comparative Literature\, founding president of the MLA Japan to 1900 forum\, and Associate Editor of *Verge: Studies in Global Asias*.\n\nPlease register for the Zoom webinar at: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_lnQ7ENyPQ_uOK9bZmgknOg\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

The underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Emergent cell-cell interactions in the tumor microenvironment (TME) profoundly influence therapy outcomes. The nature of these interactions and their role in Ras tumor radioresistance remain unclear. Using Drosophila and human Ras cancer cells we discovered that oncogenic Ras co-opts genotoxic stress-induced p53 function to drive tumor recurrence via paracrine JAK/STAT signaling in the TME.\np53 is heterogeneously activated in Ras tumor tissues in response to irradiation. This mosaicism allows high p53-expressing Ras clones to stimulate JAK/STAT cytokines\, which activate JAK/STAT in the nearby low p53-expressing resistant Ras clones\, leading to robust tumor re-establishment. Blocking any part of this cell-cell communication loop re-sensitizes Ras tumor cells to irradiation. This finding suggests that coupling STAT inhibitors to radiotherapy might improve clinical outcomes for Ras cancer patients.\n\nSpeaker:\nYves Chiswili Chabu\, Ph.D.\nAssistant Professor\, Division of Biological Sciences\nUniversity of Missouri-Columbia\n\nYves Chiswili Chabu received his Ph.D. at the University of Oregon. He did his postdoctoral work and Fellowship at Yale University where he used Drosophila and human tissue culture models to understand how intercellular RAS signaling evolves in the tumor microenvironement. Chabu is an assistant professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia and the scientific director of the Cancer Research Center in Columbia Missouri. His research interests at the University of Missouri includes delineating therapy resistance mechanisms in EGFR/RAS-driven tumors and understanding how these signals emerge and support disease progression.

Their cumulative cost can be extreme in terms of both dollars and lives lost. While less frequent\, pandemics have also resulted in staggering losses. The loss depends not only on the severity of the effects\, but also on the vulnerability and resiliency of the affected society. The number and cost of disasters have been increasing over the last few decades\, a pattern which is likely to continue. This increase may be due both to hazards increasing in frequency\, size\, or extent\, and to an increasing vulnerability and/or decreasing resiliency of populations at risk. \n\nThis course will start with an examination of the trends and patterns of past disasters\, discussing socioeconomic factors that increase vulnerability. We will then discuss the role of corruption and government effectiveness in exacerbating vulnerability\, the differences between vulnerability and resiliency on a local scale\, and why resiliency is so difficult to quantify. Finally\, we will discuss the role of global demographics trends and changing climate with regard to future hazards and our increasing vulnerability to them. We will use the Sichuan\, China (2008)\, L’Aquila\, Italy (2009)\, and Haiti (2010) earthquakes\, hurricanes Katrina (2005)\, Sandy (2012)\, Harvey (2017)\, and Maria (2017)\, and the current COVID-19 pandemic as case studies. \n\nEric Hetland is an associate professor in the UM Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences\, specializing in earthquakes and volcanoes. Eric also develops statistical tools to tackle problems ranging from climate change to vulnerability.\n\nThis study group will be held on Thursdays from November 5 through 19. \n\nPre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

However\, this is hard in practice\, due to a lack of appropriate (micro-level) economic data and limited opportunity to experiment. In Zheng et al.\, 2020\, we proposea two-level deep reinforcement learning approach to learn dynamic tax policies\, based on principled economic simulations in which both agents and a social planner (government) learn and adapt. AI social planners can discover tax policies that improve the equality and productivity trade-off by at least 16%\, compared to the prominent Saez tax model\, US Federal tax\,and the free market. The learned tax policies are qualitatively differentfrom the baselines\, and certain model instances are effective in human studies as well.\n\nThis talk will present three topics: 1) economic policydesign in the context of multi-agent RL\, 2) our two-level RL approach toeconomic policy design\, and 3) open research problems towards an AI Economist for the real world. These include key methodological challenges in two-level RL and data-driven economic modeling\, multi-agent RL\, mechanismdesign\, convergence guarantees\, robustness\, explainability\, and others.\n\nRSVP Here: https://tinyurl.com/y33tmfs4 UID:79027-20172578@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79027 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201120T123024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201105T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201105T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:AmeriCorps-Teach Kentucky Recruiting Experience- Special EducationContent Areas DESCRIPTION:Application Process Tips:\n\n1.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nSparse Estimation: Closing the Gap Between L0 and L1 Models\n\nAbstract:\nSparse statistical estimators are increasingly prevalent due to their ease of interpretability and superior out-of-sample performance. However\, sparse estimation problems with an L0 constraint\, restricting the support of the estimators\, are challenging (typically NP-hard\, but not always) non-convex optimization problems. Consequently\, academics and practitioners commonly turn to convex L1 proxies\, such as Lasso and its variants\, as a remedy. Although the L1 models are solved fast\, they may lead to biased and/or dense estimators and require substantial cross-validation for calibration.\n\nIn this talk\, we focus on two estimation problems: i) sparse regression and ii) sparse and smooth signal recovery. The first one is known to be NP-hard\; we show that the second one is equivalent to a submodular minimization problem and\, hence\, is polynomially solvable. For both problems\, we derive a sequence of strong convex relaxations. These relaxations are based on the ideal (convex-hull) formulations for rank-one/pairwise quadratic terms with indicator variables. The new relaxations can be formulated as conic quadratic or semidefinite optimization problems in an extended space\; they are stronger and more general than the state-of-the-art models with the reverse Huber penalty and the minimax concave penalty functions. Furthermore\, the proposed rank-one strengthening can be interpreted as a non-separable\, non-convex\, unbiased sparsity-inducing regularizer\, which dynamically adjusts its penalty according to the shape of the estimation error function without inducing bias for the sparse solutions. Computational experiments with benchmark datasets show that the proposed conic formulations are solved fast and result in near-optimal estimators for non-convex L0-problems. Moreover\, the resulting estimators also outperform L1 approaches from a statistical perspective\, achieving high prediction accuracy and good interpretability.\n\nThis talk is based on the following papers with Andres Gomez & Shaoning Han:\n\nhttps://atamturk.ieor.berkeley.edu/pubs/rank-one.pdf\nhttps://atamturk.ieor.berkeley.edu/pubs/screening.pdf\nhttps://atamturk.ieor.berkeley.edu/pubs/signal-estimation.pdf UID:76453-19717149@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/76453 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:899 Seminar Series,Industrial And Operations Engineering LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200902T151604 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201105T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201105T160000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The Scholar as Translator DESCRIPTION:Join Chana Kronfeld\, renowned translator of Hebrew and Yiddish poetry\, for a discussion of her scholarship and translations.

In large solar flares\, a wide range of electromagnetic waves ranging from the kilometric radio wave to the Gamma-rays are released in a short period of time and a gigantic amount of ionized gas is ejected in the coronal mass ejections. In those processes\, solar energetic particles can be accelerated to near-relativistic energies and injected into the interplanetary space. When traveling in the interplanetary space\, they impose a serious radiation hazard to human lives on the earth\, the orbiting astronauts\, spacecraft\, and our future space exploration missions. However\, the underlying acceleration mechanisms in those events and the particles’ transport process from the sun to the interplanetary space is still under debate. I investigate the behaviors of those energetic particles with observational analysis\, and model their behavior using numerical simulations. In particular\, I modeled the acceleration and transport process of energetic particles by solving the Fokker-Planck equation numerically and evaluate the temporal and spatial distribution profiles\, energy spectra\, and element abundances of energetic particles with the measurement made by various spacecraft. Because of their great impact to the space radiation environment and the growing demand for space travel and exploration\, a successful forecast of the occurrence and flux of solar energetic particles is urgent. Both numerical models and machine learning techniques are utilized in my current approach to predict the occurrence and flux of solar energetic particles.

One specific application of interest is their use in combat helmet liners to protect service members from Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)\, although they are also heavily leveraged in the packing industry\, medical\, aerospace and automotive fields\, to name a few. These protective applications all have the common characteristic of dynamically applied loading leading to high strain-rate material deformation. Typically\, polymer foams have low impedance and exhibit strong rate-dependent mechanical behavior\; consequently\, novel dynamic experimental techniques and metrologies need to be implemented and aid in the development of physics-based constitutive models for these cellular systems in loading regimes of real-world interest. As such\, this talk focuses on quantitative microstructural characterization of open cell polyurethane foams and its relation to bulk response\, their compressive behavior across six orders of magnitude in strain rates and utilizing a non-parametric formulation of the Virtual Fields Method to extract dynamic material behavior. How these efforts are leading us to explore the design space of microarchitected materials for next-generation protective systems will also be discussed. \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nLeslie Lamberson is an Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering with affiliation in Materials Science at the Colorado School of Mines.

To alleviate these challenges\, prior work has provided extensive supervision via a combination of reward-shaping\, ground-truth object-information\, and expert demonstrations. In this work\, we show that one can learn object-interaction tasks from scratch without supervision by learning an attentive object-model as an auxiliary task during task learning with an object-centric relational RL agent. Our key insight is that learning an object-model that incorporates object-relationships into forward prediction provides a dense learning signal for unsupervised representation learning of both objects and their relationships. This\, in turn\, enables faster policy learning for an object-centric relational RL agent. We demonstrate our agent by introducing a set of challenging object-interaction tasks in the AI2Thor environment where learning with our attentive object-model is key to strong performance. Specifically\, by comparing our agent and relational RL agents with alternative auxiliary tasks with a relational RL agent equipped with ground-truth object-information\, we find that learning with our object-model best closes the performance gap in terms of both learning speed and maximum success rate. Additionally\, we find that incorporating object-relationships into an object-model's forward predictions is key to learning representations that capture object-category and object-state.\n\nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99927591266\nMeeting ID: 999 2759 1266\nPassword: cogsci\n\nWilka Carvalho is currently a PhD student studying machine learning at UM.

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.

The link will be provided below.\n\nZoom: https://umich-health.zoom.us/j/94734899583?pwd=MDNEMjE3QU5xVGgwZzNQajE4UlJQUT09\n\nOveractive bladder (OAB) is a highly prevalent condition which negatively affects the physical and mental health of millions of people worldwide. Sacral neuromodulation (SNM)\, currently serving ~300\,000 patients worldwide\, is a promising third-line therapy that provides improved efficacy and minimum adherence issue compared to conventional treatments. While current SNM is delivered in an open-loop fashion\, the therapy could have improved clinical efficacy by adopting a closed-loop stimulation paradigm that uses objective physiological feedback. Therefore\, this dissertation work focuses on using sacral level dorsal root ganglia neural signals to provide sensory feedback for adaptive SNM a feline model.\n \nThis work began with exploring machine learning algorithms and feature selection methods for bladder pressure decoding. A Kalman filter delivered the highest performance based on correlation coefficient between the pressure measurements and algorithm estimation. Additionally\, firing rate normalization significantly contributed to lowering the normalized error\, and a correlation coefficient-based channel selection method provided the lowest error compared to other channel selection methods.\n \nFollowing algorithm optimization\, this work implemented the optimized algorithm and feature selection method in real-time in anesthetized healthy and simulated OAB feline models. A 0.88 ± 0.16 correlation coefficient fit was achieved by the decoding algorithm across 35 normal and simulated OAB bladder fills in five experiments. Closed-loop neuromodulation was demonstrated using the estimated pressure to trigger pudendal nerve stimulation\, which increased bladder capacity by 40% in two trials.\n \nFinally\, closed-loop SNM stimulation with DRG sensory feedback was performed in a series of anesthetized experiments. It increased bladder capacity by 13.8% over no stimulation (p < 0.001). While there was no statistical difference in bladder capacity between closed-loop and continuous stimulation (p = 0.80)\, closed-loop stimulation reduced stimulation time by 57.7%. Interestingly\, bladder single units had a reduced sensitivity during stimulation\, suggesting a potential mechanism of SNM.\n \nOverall\, this work demonstrated that sacral level DRG are a viable sensory feedback target for adaptive SNM. Validation in awake and chronic experiments is a crucial step prior to clinical translation of this method.

In this talk\, Dr. Sarter will use examples of recent mishaps as well as research in her laboratory to illustrate how technology-centered design contributes to problems with human-machine collaboration and how resulting accidents and inefficiencies can be avoided by employing a systems engineering approach that applies knowledge and techniques from cognitive ergonomics\, interface design and behavioral science throughout system design and development.\n\nBio:\nNadine Sarter is a Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering\, Aerospace Engineering and Robotics at the University of Michigan where she also serves as Director of the Center for Ergonomics. Her primary research interests include (1) human-machine teaming\, (2) operator trust in autonomous systems\, (3) adaptive function allocation\, (4) attention management\, (5) multimodal interface design\, (6) and the design of decision aids for high-tempo operations.

Macroscopic organisms typically navigate in odor plumes that provide a noisy and uncertain signal about the location of an odor source. Work in many species has suggested that animals accomplish this task by combining temporal processing of dynamic odor information with an estimate of wind direction.\n\nOur lab has been using adult walking Drosophila to understand both the computational algorithms and the neural circuits that support navigation in a plume of attractive food odor. We developed a high-throughput paradigm to study behavioral responses to temporally-controlled odor and wind stimuli. Using this paradigm we found that flies respond to a food odor (apple cider vinegar) with two behaviors: during the odor they run upwind\, while after odor loss they perform a local search. A simple computational model based one these two responses is sufficient to replicate many aspects of fly behavior in a natural turbulent plume. \n\nIn on-going work\, we are seeking to identify the neural circuits and biophysical mechanisms that perform the computations delineated by our model. Using electrophysiology\, we have identified mechanosensory neurons that compute wind direction from movements of the two antennae\, and central mechanosensory neurons that encode wind direction are involved in generating a stable downwind orientation. Using optogenetic activation\, we have traced olfactory circuits capable of evoking upwind orientation and offset search from the periphery\, through the mushroom body and lateral horn\, to the central complex. Most recently\, connectomic analysis has suggested a plausible model for how wind and odor information might be integrated in the central complex to allow flies to flexibly alter their orientation to wind. Our work illustrates how the tools available in fruit fly can be applied to dissect the mechanisms underlying a complex goal-directed behavior.

When interactions between electrons are important\, however\, the collective and correlated behavior of electrons can be beautiful\, complicated\, counter-intuitive\, and sometimes even useful. I will outline how we can engineer and search for new correlated electronic states starting from ‘Scotch tape exfoliation’ of atomically thin materials (such as graphene) as a basis for new types of devices. Then\, I will discuss how my research group plans to use low-temperature electronic transport and spatially-resolved magnetic measurements to uniquely demonstrate the behavior of correlated electrons in 2D materials\, highlighting some of my previous work on the fractional quantum Hall effect and superconductivity as concrete examples.\n UID:78773-20123133@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78773 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200929T113905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201106T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201106T140000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Phondi Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Phondi is a discussion and research group for students and faculty at U-M and nearby universities who have interests in phonetics and phonology.

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.

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.

The DM does not know the action's value and relies on data and unbiased statistical inference to estimate it. The data are Bernoulli experiments governed by the action's value. A designer\, who wishes the DM to take the action\, controls the size of the data\, i.e.\, the sample size\, available to the DM. We establish that in many environments the designer's optimal sample size is the largest one satisfying that either a single --- or a simple majority --- of favorable realizations would persuade the DM to take the action.

We study the possible signals from fermionic absorption by nuclear or electron targets\, which we divide into two classes of four Fermi operators: neutral and charged current. In the neutral current signal\, dark matter is absorbed by a target nucleus or electron and a neutrino is emitted. For nuclear targets\, this results in a characteristically different nuclear recoil energy spectrum from that of elastic scattering. For electron targets\, we calculate electron recoil spectra in xenon-based detectors for sub-MeV dark matter. The charged current channel is specific to nuclear targets and leads to induced beta decays in isotopes which are stable in vacuum as well as shifts of the kinematic endpoint of beta spectra in unstable isotopes. Last\, we present UV completions of the four Fermi operators which give rise to these signals and study the prospects of seeing an absorption signal in light of other constraints\, such as dark matter decays and mediator searches.

The social distancing conditions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic introduced a deep and long term disruption to typical face-to-face interaction for Michiganders\, which in turn enables researchers to test precisely how these widescale disruptions to face-to-face interactions impact sociolinguistic development for children and participation in lifespan change for adults. In this talk\, we introduce the MI-Diaries project\, which has been tracking audio diaries from participants since the beginning of the pandemic. We highlight some of the major theoretical goals of the project\, as well as discuss some of the methodological innovations necessary for conducting sociolinguistic fieldwork during a pandemic.

Key attributes of this reactor concept include: (i) high degree of passive safety\, (ii) atmospheric pressure operation\, (iii) high thermal efficiency due to high volumetric heat capacity and thermal conductivity of liquid salts\, (iv) lower spent fuel per unit of energy\, (v) high solubility of most fission products in liquid salts and (vi) absence of fuel assemblies. Materials selection for liquid fueled MSRs is based on ASME Sec III Div 5 and thus present unique challenges because of the high Cr content of current qualified alloys. Consequently\, and considering the short-term deployment of MSRs\, it is necessary to independently improve corrosion resistance of current code codified alloys by surface treatments. On the other hand\, if one considers long-term deployment of MSRs\, novel code certified alloys would need to be developed. Indeed\, although Hastelloy-N\, a low Cr\, high Mo alloy developed during the MSRE program\, has shown remarkable corrosion resistance in molten fluoride salts\, this alloy has limited creep-rupture strength\, irradiation damage resistance and has shown corrosion induced embrittlement. Consequently\, this study focuses on the down-selection of a series of cladded 316H stainless steels (SS) and novel alloys based on corrosion resistance in molten FLiNaK at 700°C for up to 1000 hours. Finally\, specific separate effects experiments are conducted to assess the influence of the experimental conditions on corrosion and mass transport.\n\nBio\nDr. Adrien Couet is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where he manages the MAterials Degradation under COrrosion and Radiation (MADCOR) laboratory. Previously\, he worked as a nuclear materials research engineer at EDF (Electricité de France) in France\, focusing on high-temperature aqueous corrosion and modeling corrosion of nuclear materials. He got hired at EDF after graduating in 2014 with a PhD in Nuclear and Mechnical Engineering from Penn State University. Over the last five years\, Dr. Couet has worked on developing his research group around fundamental understanding of materials degradation and alloy design for extreme environments. MADCOR research programs evolves around fuel cladding corrosion in LWRs\, developing structural materials and cladding for molten salt reactors and designing novel radiation resistant compositionally complex alloys. Dr. Couet also co-manages the UW Ion Beam Laboratory and is a co-organizer of the Nuclear Innovation Bootcamp\, which aims at training future entrepreneurs in the nuclear field.

An Interview with Agnieszka Holland DESCRIPTION:As part of the 27th Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival (AAPFF)\, acclaimed Polish film director Agnieszka Holland returns to the University of Michigan to deliver her second Annual Copernicus Lecture\, an interview with Johannes von Moltke\, professor of Germanic languages and literatures and of film\, television and media\, and acting director of the Weiser Center for Europe & Eurasia\, U-M\; and Benjamin Paloff\, associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures and of comparative literature\, and acting director of the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, U-M.\n\nAgnieszka Holland is justly famous for the way in which her films tackle “the perversely captivating 20th century\,” as she put it\, in all of its complexity. She has devoted her talents as a filmmaker to thoughtful explorations of fascism and communism\, their aftermaths\, and their lasting effects on those who were caught up in the political\, moral\, and ethical decisions that these regimes demanded of everyone in their orbit. In this hour-long interview\, Agnieszka Holland discusses the role of history and politics in her filmmaking\, her interest in characters who face difficult moral dilemmas\, her work in Europe and Hollywood\, her most recent film *Charlatan* (2019)\, and her desire to help shape a “cinema of the middle” by making thoughtful\, artistic films with broad popular appeal.\n\nAgnieszka Holland was born in Warsaw and graduated from FAMU\, the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. Upon her return to Poland she joined the group of promising young Polish directors\, “the filmmakers of moral unrest\,” associated with Andrzej Wajda. Her early Polish films earned her a great deal of critical acclaim\, but Holland is best-known for her Academy Award-nominated films *Angry Harvest* (Best Foreign Language Film 1985)\, *Europa Europa* (Best Screenplay 1990)\, and *In Darkness* (Best Foreign Language Film 2011). Recent films include *Spoor (Pokot)*\, based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk\; *Mr. Jones*\; and *Charlatan*. As a screenwriter\, Holland collaborated with Krzysztof Kieślowski (*Three Colours*\, 1993)\, and wrote several scripts for her mentor\, Andrzej Wajda. She has worked extensively in television\, directing episodes of *The Wire* and *Treme*\, for which she received an Emmy nomination in 2009. Recently she directed and produced the pilots for *The First* (Hulu)\, and *1983* (Netflix).\n\nThe Annual Copernicus Lecture is presented as part of the 27th Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival. While the festival requires tickets\, the lecture will be broadcast at no charge. More information at https://www.annarborpolishfilmfestival.com/.

Berkhofer Jr. Lecture on Native American Studies: A Conversation with Tommy Orange DESCRIPTION:The Department of Native American Studies presents The 5th Annual Robert J. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: A Conversation with Tommy Orange\, award-winning\, New York Times Best-selling novelist. \n\nThe Berkhofer Lecture is scheduled for Friday\, November 6th\, 2020\, at 7:00 pm on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97486211859\n\nTommy Orange is the author of the bestselling New York Times novel There There\, a multigenerational\, relentlessly paced story about a side of America few of us have ever explored – the lives of urban Native Americans. There There was one of the New York Times’ 10 Best books of the year and won the Center for Fictions First Novel Prize and the Pen/Hemingway Award. There There was longlisted for the National Book Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Orange graduated from the MFA program at the Institute of American Indian Arts\, and was a 2014 MacDowell Fellow\, and a 2016 Writing by Writers Fellow. He is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. He was born and raised in Oakland California.\n\nThe Berkhofer Lecture series (named for a former U-M professor and founder of the field of Native American studies) was established in 2014 by an alumni gift from the Dan and Carmen Brenner family of Seattle\, Washington. In close consultation with the Brenners\, Native American Studies decided to create a public lecture series featuring prominent\, marquee speakers who would draw audiences from different communities (faculty and students\, Ann Arbor and Detroit\, and Michigan tribal communities as well as writers and readers of all persuasions). Native American students at U-M have consistently expressed their desire to make Native Americans more visible both on campus and off\, and we believe that this lecture takes a meaningful step in that direction. Additionally\, because of the statewide publicity it generates\, we think it is already becoming another recruitment incentive for Native American students. It goes without saying that the speakers we are inviting provide tremendous value to the mission and work of Native American Studies at U-M.\n\nFor more information on this speaker please visit www.prhspeakers.com UID:72820-20058231@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72820 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,american culture,book discussion,book event,Books,booksigning,Department Of American Culture,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Free,History,Keynote,lecture,multicultural,native american,Native American Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201030T113201 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201106T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201106T203000 SUMMARY:Meeting:The Post-Election Chatroom DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this event is to offer the residents of Mosher-Jordan a space for thoughtful conversations amongst peers in relation to the 2020 election.

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!

Popular pictures praised male political leaders\, while cartoons mocked women who sought rights. In the mid-nineteenth century\, women’s rights activists like Sojourner Truth and Susan B. Anthony challenged these powerful norms by distributing engraved and photographic portraits that represented women as political leaders. Over time\, suffragists developed a national visual campaign to win voting rights. Their photographs captured their public protests and demonstrated their dedication to their cause for mass audiences. Allison Lange’s talk is based on her book\, \"Picturing Political Power: Images in the Women’s Suffrage Movement\,\" published in May 2020 by the University of Chicago Press. The book focuses on the ways that women’s rights activists and their opponents used images to define gender and power during the suffrage movement.\n\nPresented in partnership with the Michigan Photographic Historical Society.\n\nAllison K. Lange is an assistant professor of history at the Wentworth Institute of Technology. She received her PhD in history from Brandeis University. Various institutions have supported her work\, including the National Endowment for the Humanities\, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Library of Congress\, and American Antiquarian Society. Her writing has appeared in Imprint\, The Atlantic\, and The Washington Post. Lange also engages in public history. She has worked with the National Women’s History Museum and curated exhibitions for the Boston Public Library’s Leventhal Map Center. In preparation for the 2020 centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment\, she is curator of exhibitions at the Massachusetts Historical Society and Harvard’s Schlesinger Library.
