SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Watch Me Work — Portraits of Self\"
DESCRIPTION:In *Watch Me Work — Portraits of Self*\, Detroit artist Sydney G. James brings to the forefront and celebrates the work of Black women. The USPS worker\, the artist\, the event-planning Zoom mom—the paintings in this exhibition reposition the narrative of black women’s visibility and value. Each portrait honors the individual and collective contributions and labors of Black women\, persistent through the pandemics\, through police violence\, and whether seen or unseen.\n\nWith the Gallery closed to the public due to COVID\, *Watch Me Work* will be completely visible from the street. Artwork will be hung in the Washington and Thayer-street first floor windows of the Institute for the Humanities\, with two additional pieces visible through the gallery window on Thayer in a public celebration of these meaningful human relationships and connections.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CAS Film Screening | Village of Women
DESCRIPTION:Please register in advance to receive the streaming link and to attend the Q/A session with the film director: http://myumi.ch/0W1oY.\n\nThe film will be available for you to watch on your own from November 27 to December 2nd.\n   \n   A village where women\, children\, and elderly reside. Men leave nine months of the year for Russia to work. Summer\, a slow and friendly atmosphere\; women do the hay\, cut the grass\, and store for the winter. Fruits are canned to be eaten during the cold winter. The sun arouses certain laziness\, a sensual relaxation. Autumn\, with its different shades of red\, is the season of birth and potato harvest. Women and men find intimacy in the coldness of winter\, hence\, women give birth in October and November. Fathers meet their children in December. Preparations start early to welcome men. Waiting is long and tiring.\n   \n   Winter is near\, a form of suspense sets in: whose husband will come first? The men arrive with the snow. The women are shy\, they need time to exist in the presence of men. The children are happy to be close to their fathers. Spring sets in\, the atmosphere becomes tense. Men depart for the land of tsars. She is weak and sad but needs to find the strength to take care of the children.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at armenianstudies@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

DESCRIPTION:REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:In-Between the World and Dreams
DESCRIPTION:In this multi-venue project led by the Institute for the Humanities\, in collaboration with the Charles H. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS\, STARTLING WORKS OF ART\, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER \n \nCollection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. 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 is a free event\, and all are welcome.\n\n

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Brown Bag:  Why Developmental Psychology Should Care About Racial and Ethnic Diversity
DESCRIPTION:The present talk/discussion addresses issues of racial\, ethnic\, and cultural diversity within the discipline of psychology\, in general\, and the subfield of developmental psychology\, in particular.  I will present a very brief overview of data illuminating the lack of ethnic/racial diversity within both psychology and developmental psychology as well as provide a few recommendations to the field regarding the importance of ethnic/racial diversity. Afterwards\, participants will engage in smaller group discussions to discuss the current status of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) within both the Department of Psychology and the developmental area at the University of Michigan using the DEI goals of the University of Michigan’s DEI strategic plan as a conceptual frame for the discussions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Effects of a Large-Scale Prenatal Care Intervention
DESCRIPTION:Contact PSC Office for Zoom details.\n\nOne out of every 13 births in the United States is to an undocumented immigrant. Despite this large share of births\, undocumented immigrants are ineligible for public health insurance coverage of routine prenatal care in the majority of states. In this paper\, we examine the effects of a landmark policy in the state of California to expand eligibility for its Medicaid program to pregnant undocumented immigrants. Using state hospital discharge data\, we estimate that nearly 20 percent of births to foreign-born women in the state gained Medicaid coverage under this policy change. We evaluate whether this large expansion in public coverage changed health care utilization during pregnancy for the women who benefited\, and whether it improved birth outcomes. We use a novel dataset that links California birth records to the decennial Census and American Community Survey. Using these linked data\, we are able to identify siblings of foreign-born mothers born before and after the coverage expansions to compare changes in outcomes associated with exposure to the policy. By comparing outcomes for children born to the same mother\, we are able to estimate changes in outcomes resulting from the policy change\, rather than from large changes in immigration and the composition of immigrants that occurred during the study period. Our analysis uses siblings of foreign-born mothers who are born entirely during the pre-period or during the post-period as additional comparison groups\, as well as the children of U.S. born women\, allowing us to net out differences in outcomes due to birth order or any secular trends.  Using this approach\, we document improved prenatal care utilization and an increase in hospital delivery among pregnant immigrant women under the coverage expansion\, as well as increased likelihood of delivery by a physician. We also find significant increases in average gestation length and birth weight among the children who benefited from the policy change while in utero. \n\nBio: Laura Wherry's primary area of research focuses on the changing role of the Medicaid program and its impact on access to health care and health. Recent work examines the early effects of the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansions\, as well as the longer-term effects of several large expansions in Medicaid targeting low-income pregnant women and children in the 1980s and 1990s. Prior to joining NYU\, she was an assistant professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholar at the University of Michigan.\n\nLaura received her Ph.D. in Public Policy from the University of Chicago's Harris School and her B.A. from the College of William and Mary. \n\nContact PSC Office for Zoom details.\n\nBIO:\n\n\nPopulation Studies Center (PSC) Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

SUMMARY:Auditions:Respond / Resist / Rethink: A Stamps Poster & Video Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Respond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition\n\nStamps Gallery is proud to kick-off the fall semester with Respond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Student Poster & Video Exhibition\, which brings together powerful posters and playful videos made by the students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. 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? We found inspiration in the thoughtful words of renowned civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis (1940-2020) who wrote\, “My fellow Americans\, this is a special moment in our history. Just as people of all faiths and no faiths\, and all backgrounds\, creeds\, and colors banded together decades ago to fight for equality and justice in a peaceful\, orderly\, non-violent fashion\, we must do so again.” His powerful words are a reminder for all of us - present and future generations to stay hopeful\, proactive\, and resilient in our collective efforts to end racial discrimination and foster a true democracy. \n\nIn this spirit\, Stamps Gallery invited the undergraduate and graduate students at Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, to design posters and make videos to respond and contemplate what each of us can do to build a stronger community\, one that is based on the values of racial equality\, justice and belonging. How can we acknowledge our own biases\, learn from each other\, and listen to the voices of those that have been silenced? We are at a pivotal moment in our history as the pandemic radically transforms everyday life.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Cognitive Science Seminar: What we would (but shouldn’t) do for those we love:  Universalism and partiality in “punish or protect” dilemmas
DESCRIPTION:Laura Soter\, U-M Department of Philosophy\, will give a talk titled \"What we would (but shouldn’t) do for those we love: Universalism and partiality in 'punish or protect' dilemmas.\"\n\nABSTRACT\nAfter a long history of focusing primarily on judgments about anonymous strangers\, moral psychologists have increasingly begun to study how social relationships influence people’s moral judgments. Weidman et al. (2020)\, for instance\, found that in “punish or protect” dilemmas\, people are more likely to say they would lie to protect a close other (vs. a distant other) who commits a crime\, particularly when the transgression is severe. But do people believe it is morally right to behave this way? On the one hand\, impartiality and universalism are key tenets in all three major philosophical ethical theories. On the other\, there are philosophers who argue in favor of moral partiality\, and there is increasing empirical evidence that social relationships matter for moral evaluations. In the context of Weidman et al.’s “punish or protect” dilemmas\, these considerations deliver two competing hypotheses: either people think it is right to preferentially protect close others\, suggesting that people believe moral norms are importantly sensitive to context\; or people think they should treat close and distant others equally\, revealing an inconsistency between judgments of what is right and how they would behave in the context of close relationships. I will present a series of studies that adjudicate between these hypotheses by exploring the relationship between what people think they would and should do in “punish or protect” dilemmas.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | New Results on Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering From COHERENT
DESCRIPTION:Please contact Beth Demkowski\, demkowsk@umich.edu for Zoom link.\n\nCoherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) is a process in which a neutrino scatters off an entire nucleus at low momentum transfer\, and for which the observable signature is a low-energy nuclear recoil.  It represents a background for direct dark matter detection experiments\, as well as a possible signal for astrophysical neutrinos.  Furthermore\, because the process is cleanly predicted in the Standard Model\, a measurement is sensitive to beyond-the-Standard-Model physics\, such as non-standard interactions of neutrinos.  It was measured for the first time by the COHERENT collaboration using the high-quality source of pion-decay-at-rest neutrinos from the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and a CsI[Na] scintillator detector. COHERENT has recently observed CEvNS in argon\, a lighter nucleus\, also.  This talk will describe COHERENT's recent results\, the status and plans of COHERENT's suite of detectors at the SNS\, and future physics reach.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:An Industrial Engineering-Based Approach to Designing and Evaluating Healthcare Systems to Improve Veteran Access to Care
DESCRIPTION:Access to healthcare is a critical public health issue in the United States\, especially for veterans. Veterans are older on average than the general U.S. population and are thus at higher risk for chronic disease. Further\, veterans report more delays when seeking healthcare. The Veterans Affairs (VA) Healthcare System continuously works to develop policies and technologies that aim to improve veteran access to care. Industrial engineering methods can be effective in analyzing the impact of such policies\, as well as designing or modifying systems to better align veteran patients’ needs with providers and resources.\n\nIn the talk\, I will focus on veteran access to chronic eye disease screening. Ophthalmologists in the VA have developed a platform in which ophthalmic technicians screen patients for major chronic eye diseases during primary care visits. We use mixed-integer programming-based facility location models to understand how the VA can determine which clinics should offer eye screenings\, which provider type(s) should staff those clinics\, and how to distribute patients among clinics. The results of this work show how the VA can achieve various objectives including minimizing the cost of treating a given population or maximizing the number of patients receiving care given a fixed budget.\n\nAdam VanDeusen is a PhD candidate in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan working under Dr. Amy Cohn. His work applies operations research and systems engineering methods to public health policy and access to healthcare. As part of his graduate training\, Adam works with the University of Michigan Center for Healthcare Engineering & Patient Safety (CHEPS). Adam completed his undergraduate degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan and his Master of Public Health in Chronic Disease Epidemiology from Yale School of Public Health. Prior to beginning his PhD\, Adam worked as the Senior Director of Clinical Programs at the Health Management Academy and as a Health Systems Engineer at Mayo Clinic.\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. For the Zoom link and password and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series\, please RSVP. For additional questions\, contact CHEPSseminar@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CAS Film Screening | Village of Women
DESCRIPTION:Please register in advance to receive the streaming link and to attend the Q/A session with the film director: http://myumi.ch/0W1oY.\n\nThe film will be available for you to watch on your own from November 27 to December 2nd.\n   \n   A village where women\, children\, and elderly reside. Men leave nine months of the year for Russia to work. Summer\, a slow and friendly atmosphere\; women do the hay\, cut the grass\, and store for the winter. Fruits are canned to be eaten during the cold winter. The sun arouses certain laziness\, a sensual relaxation. Autumn\, with its different shades of red\, is the season of birth and potato harvest. Women and men find intimacy in the coldness of winter\, hence\, women give birth in October and November. Fathers meet their children in December. Preparations start early to welcome men. Waiting is long and tiring.\n   \n   Winter is near\, a form of suspense sets in: whose husband will come first? The men arrive with the snow. The women are shy\, they need time to exist in the presence of men. The children are happy to be close to their fathers. Spring sets in\, the atmosphere becomes tense. Men depart for the land of tsars. She is weak and sad but needs to find the strength to take care of the children.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at armenianstudies@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works
DESCRIPTION:View the online gallery at https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/humanitiesgalleries/sarah-rose-sharp/\n\nResults or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded \"High Stakes Art\" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that\, as she explains\, \"forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual.\"\n\nThanks to the grant from The Andrew W. 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. She writes about art and culture for Art in America\, Hyperallergic\, Flash Art\, Sculpture Magazine\, ArtSlant\, and others. Sarah was named a 2015 Kresge Literary Arts Fellow for Art Criticism and is a 2018 recipient of the Rabkin Foundation Prize. She is a guest lecturer at several universities in Southeast Michigan and served as a mentor in the NYFA Immigrant Artist Mentorship Program in 2018. Sarah has served as guest curator and juror for institutions including Penn State University (State College\, PA)\, Scarab Club (Detroit\, MI)\, The Terhune Gallery (Toledo\, OH)\, and The Ann Arbor Art Center (Ann Arbor\, MI). Sarah has shown her own work in New York\, Seattle\, Columbus & Toledo\, OH\, Covington\, KY\, and Detroit—including at the Detroit Institute of Arts—with solo shows at Simone De Sousa Gallery and Public Pool. She is primarily concerned with artist and viewer experiences of making and engaging with art\, and conducts ongoing research into the state of contemporary art in redeveloping cities\, with special focus and regard for Detroit.

DESCRIPTION:REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Loss Attitudes in the U.S. Population: Evidence from Dynamically Optimized Sequential Experimentation (DOSE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nTo measure individual-level loss aversion in a representative sample of the U.S. population (N = 2\,000)\, we introduce DOSE—Dynamically Optimized Sequential Experimentation. We find that around 50% of the U.S. population is loss tolerant. This is\ncounter to earlier findings\, which mostly come from lab/student samples\, that a strong majority of participants are loss averse. Loss attitudes are correlated with cognitive ability: loss aversion is more prevalent in people with high cognitive ability\, and loss tolerance is more common in those with low cognitive ability. We also use DOSE to document facts about risk and time preferences\, and demonstrate that DOSE elicitations are more accurate\, more stable across time\, and faster to administer than standard methods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS\, STARTLING WORKS OF ART\, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER \n \nCollection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. 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 is a free event\, and all are welcome.\n\n

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CSCS Seminar | Developing a systematic approach to modulate the emergence of consciousness from pharmacologically-and pathologically induced unconsciousness
DESCRIPTION:ZOOM MEETING LINK:  myumi.ch/v2ZYv\n\nRe-scheduled from earlier this fall.\n\nABSTRACT:\nWhy is it so difficult to develop a systematic approach to modulate the recovery of consciousness from pharmacologically and pathologically induced unconsciousness? Three things are required to develop a systematic approach\; a reliable neural activity that corresponds to consciousness\, a reliable brain stimulation to induce the target neural activity\, and a mechanism to guarantee the induced neural activity results in consciousness. However\, no single neural activity or a mechanism has been identified yet as a neural correlate of consciousness\, suggesting that consciousness might emerge through complex interactions of spatially and temporally distributed brain functions. Accumulating evidence from computational model and empirical studies suggest that brain criticality – a balanced state between order and disorder\, stability and instability\, incoherent and synchronized connectivity at a global network level\, is a necessary condition for the emergence of consciousness. Thus\, in our research project\, we hypothesized that with modulating brain network criticality\, we may be able to control the state transition during the loss and recovery of consciousness in general anesthesia and coma. In this talk\, I will introduce our current project that aims to develop a systematic method to precisely evaluate a brain state in altered states of consciousness and to control the emergence from unconsciousness\, which is based on highly advanced methods in physics\, network science\, and neurobiology of consciousness.\n\nPlease join us 15 minutes before and after the seminar for a social coffee hangout.  Put your speakers and video on and say hi to old friends or go to the 'lounge' and chat with an acquaintance

SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium:  Ecological resources and the evolution of parent-offspring interactions
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nAnimal behavior is a key component of biological adaptations\, where fitness relies on the ability to find mates\, acquire food\, and avoid predation. Variation in the availability of key ecological resources can drive the diversification of animal behaviors\, although the neural mechanisms responsible have remained elusive. I will discuss how ecological resources have driven the evolution of parent-offspring interactions. Parental care is a key evolutionary innovation that facilitates the exploitation of novel habitats\, influences fitness and survival of parents and offspring\, and serves as an evolutionary precursor to the emergence of  complex social behaviors. To study the link between ecology and behavioral adaptations\, my lab uses poison frogs as a model system\, as they show remarkable variation in parental care strategies. I will discuss how a key ecological resource drove the evolution of egg-feeding behavior in poison frogs. Mothers provide trophic\, unfertilized eggs to their developing tadpoles. In turn\, tadpoles beg their mothers for meals by performing a conspicuous dance display\, which they are more likely to perform when they are hungry. In both cases\, a general theme emerges in the brain\, where the modification of neuronal circuits regulating feeding behavior also tune social interactions. Overall this body of work is providing insight into how ecological factors\, like nutrient availability and predation\, shape behavioral evolution through the modification of feeding-related circuitry in the brain.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Frankel Institute Event Series: Stranger Still: Translating Contemporary Poetry from Israel/Palestine
DESCRIPTION:This series showcases the diversity of poetic voices from Israel/Palestine through the lens of translation. Each event features a multilingual poetry reading and a conversation between poets and translators on the careful negotiations that are involved in the act of translation\, highlighting work that creates its own currents against and beyond the Israeli mainstream. \n\nVaan Nguyen has been described as “a veritable juggler of Hebrew.” Born in 1982 in Israel to refugees of the Vietnam War\, Nguyen’s poems travel far and wide\, taking in views of Hanoi\, Manhattan\, Paris\, Milan\, Salzburg\, Pasadena and more. Through these movements\, Nguyen reflects on how our lives take shape in the daily migrations we make between lovers\, family\, work\, and the places we call home. She is the author of the poetry collections *The Truffle Eye* (Ma’ayan Press\, 2013) and Vain Ratio (Barchash\, 2018). In addition to poetry\, she has worked as an actress\, journalist\, and social activist. She currently lives in Jaffa and is writing her first novel.\n\nAdriana X. Jacobs is this year’s Co-head Fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies and Associate Professor of Modern Hebrew Literature at the University of Oxford. She is the author of *Strange Cocktail: Translation and the Making of Modern Hebrew Poetry* (University of Michigan Press\, 2018). Her translations have appeared in various print and online journals\, including *Gulf Coast*\, *Seedings*\, *World Literature Today*\, *Poetry International*\, and *The Ilanot Review*. Her translation into English of Vaan Nguyen’s *The Truffle Eye* will be published by Zephyr Press in early 2021.\n\nAdvance Registration Required: https://forms.gle/Z6WRekCB974Hz8EbA\nThe Zoom Webinar link will be sent out before the event.\n\n(photo credit: Shaxaf Haber)

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:A Little Math History Two
DESCRIPTION:In this course we continue to investigate the 5\,000 year history of mathematics\, learning about the lives of some great mathematicians and their discoveries. We will study the contexts of these discoveries and recognize how they developed from the cultural\, economic\, and religious needs of their time. For example\, mathematical thought often flourished at times when societies had enough wealth to support intellectual discoveries\, or in times of war or great upheaval. \nThis course\, requires no advanced knowledge of mathematics and is not dependent on the first course in this series. Instructor Joan Cohen Jones is a retired mathematics professor who has taught a number of OLLI courses.\n\nThis study group will be held on Tuesdays from December 1 through 8. \n Preregistration 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Gaslighting in the Academy: Will Black Lives Continue to Matter?
DESCRIPTION:In light of the increased visibility of the killing of unarmed Black people by police\, there is a movement happening in America to address racial inequities across multiple facets of life\, and neither the Academy nor STEM researchers are immune.  \n \nOverlaying the disproportionate effect of COVID-19 on Black and Brown people has led to a tipping point driving activism nationwide. However\, there is a risk that once the outrage passes\, structures supporting systemic racism will remain\, once again\, gaslighting academics and students of color who thought that change was coming. \n \nProfessor Platt will uncover micro- to mega- activities that occur on a daily basis to sustain racial inequities\, the toll it takes on recipients\, and then suggest changes to be made from the personal to institutional level to promote anti-racist practices to transform the academic culture.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women's Vote
DESCRIPTION:Organized by AIGA in partnership with League of Women Voters\n\n2020 marks the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment\, granting women the right to vote in 1920. 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. Giangiulio\, Annabelle Gould\, Brockett Horne\, Meena Khalili\, nicole killian + shawné michaelain holloway\, Karen Kurycki\, Marty Maxwell Lane\, Zuzana Licko\, Ana Llorente\, Beatriz Lozano\, Kelly Salchow MacArthur\, Rebeca Mendez\, Lana Rigsby\, Kaleena Sales\, Renee Seward\, Laurel Shoemaker\, Nancy Sklolos\,  Hannah Smotrich\, Shanti Sparrow\, Jennifer Sterling\, Fearn de Vicq\, Cymone Wilder\, and Lynne Yun.\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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations by Heidi Kumao
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery is pleased to present Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations\, a solo exhibition of narrative fabric works and experimental animations by Stamps Professor Heidi Kumao.\n\nUsing fabric cutouts and machine and hand stitching on industrial felt\, Kumao gives physical form to the intangible dynamics underlying ordinary conversations and relationships from a feminist perspective. 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.

SUMMARY:Auditions:Respond / Resist / Rethink: A Stamps Poster & Video Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Respond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition\n\nStamps Gallery is proud to kick-off the fall semester with Respond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Student Poster & Video Exhibition\, which brings together powerful posters and playful videos made by the students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. 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? We found inspiration in the thoughtful words of renowned civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis (1940-2020) who wrote\, “My fellow Americans\, this is a special moment in our history. Just as people of all faiths and no faiths\, and all backgrounds\, creeds\, and colors banded together decades ago to fight for equality and justice in a peaceful\, orderly\, non-violent fashion\, we must do so again.” His powerful words are a reminder for all of us - present and future generations to stay hopeful\, proactive\, and resilient in our collective efforts to end racial discrimination and foster a true democracy. \n\nIn this spirit\, Stamps Gallery invited the undergraduate and graduate students at Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, to design posters and make videos to respond and contemplate what each of us can do to build a stronger community\, one that is based on the values of racial equality\, justice and belonging. How can we acknowledge our own biases\, learn from each other\, and listen to the voices of those that have been silenced? We are at a pivotal moment in our history as the pandemic radically transforms everyday life. Through this exhibition Stamps Gallery asks the UM community to come together as artists and audiences and envision models for inclusion that are grounded in equality\, belonging and empathy.\n\nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition includes work by Emily Albright\, Adriana Alcala\, Nathan Byrne\, David Forsee\, Eloise Jansenn\, Rey Jeong\, Sohyun Lim\, Anika Love\, Maggie McConnell\, Willian Minzer\, Judah Premble\, Casey Rheault\, Natalia Rocafuerte\, Jenna Scheen\, Ellie Schmidt\, Abigail Seguin\, LaKyla Thomas\, Elijah Thompson\, Benjamin Winans\, and Molly Wu.\n\nArtwork was selected through an open call by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:PHD SEMINAR: \"Personalized Data-Driven Learning and Optimization: Theory and Applications to Healthcare\" — Esmaeil Keyvanshokooh
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:\nPersonalized Data-Driven Learning and Optimization: Theory and Applications to Healthcare\n\nAbstract:\nThe rapid growth of information and accessibility to big data provide a unique opportunity to shift toward personalized data-driven decision-making analytics. Healthcare presents many decision support opportunities for personalized/precision treatment choices based on patient biomarkers and clinical history. In marketing\, these same methods can increase the click-through rate through ads and promotions tailored to the user’s demographics and interests. These real-time personalized decision-making paradigms (i) adaptively learn a model that predicts a user-specific outcome for each available decision as a function of the user's known contextual information (prediction)\, and (ii) harness this model to make optimize personalized decisions for subsequent users (prescription). In this talk\, I introduce critical challenges in the development of today’s real-time personalized decision making paradigms: the need for making \"nested\" personalized decisions jointly and accounting for limited resource capacities. I then present new personalized data driven predictive and prescriptive analytical methods with provable performance guarantee to deal with these challenges. In addition to provable performance guarantees\, the effectiveness of these new methods is illustrated through case studies using real-word medical/healthcare data.\n\nBio:\nEsmaeil Keyvanshokooh is broadly interested in developing personalized data driven analytical methods for a wide range of business analytics applications. To address unmet real-world needs in healthcare and operations engineering\, he generates novel state-of-the-art analytics techniques to yield insights and new functionality. For the 2020 INFORMS Decision Analysis Society Best Paper Award\, he was a finalist (2nd place).  He won both the 2020 Katta G. Murty Best Paper Award on Optimization\, and 2019 Richard Wilson Best Paper Award on Service Operations. He has received several other awards\, including the 2017 IOE Bonder Fellowship in Applied Operations Research and the prestigious 2020 University of Michigan Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship. Esmaeil is a Ph.D. candidate in Operations Research at the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at University of Michigan\, working under the supervision of Prof. Mark Van Oyen and Prof. Cong Shi. He received his M.Sc. degrees in Statistics from University of Michigan\, and in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from Iowa State University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Functional MRI 2020-21 Symposium Speaker
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The neural basis of consciousness is one of the most challenging and fundamental questions in science. Evidence from noninvasive functional neuroimaging studies has pointed to two distinct cortical systems that may mediate the ongoing stream of human consciousness\, an internally directed system – default mode network (DMN) and an externally directed system – dorsal attention network (DAT). During Dr. Huang’s talk\, he will present one of his recently published studies (Huang et al.\, 2020\, Science Advances) entitled “Temporal Circuit of Macroscale Dynamic Brain Activity Supports Human Consciousness”. In this work\, he and his colleagues examined how the two systems are regulated in the conscious brain\, and how they are disrupted when consciousness is diminished. They developed a concept\, the “temporal circuit”\, characterized by a set of trajectories along which the dynamic brain activity occurs. The transitions between the DMN and DAT are embedded in the temporal circuit\, where a balanced reciprocal accessibility of brain states is characteristic of consciousness. In contrast\, an isolation of the DMN and DAT from the temporal circuit underlies unconsciousness of diverse etiologies. These findings provide new mechanistic understanding on the functional role of anti-correlated systems and consciousness. Next\, Dr. Huang will discuss some ongoing and extended work on determining which brain region plays a key role in controlling the DMN-DAT transitions and in gating conscious access (i.e.\, the availability of consciously perceived information to cognitive processors).\n\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIpce6gpzkrHtaY3Xhz3Jk7xeL-VMyPjdnA

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CAS Film Screening | Village of Women
DESCRIPTION:Please register in advance to receive the streaming link and to attend the Q/A session with the film director: http://myumi.ch/0W1oY.\n\nThe film will be available for you to watch on your own from November 27 to December 2nd.\n   \n   A village where women\, children\, and elderly reside. Men leave nine months of the year for Russia to work. Summer\, a slow and friendly atmosphere\; women do the hay\, cut the grass\, and store for the winter. Fruits are canned to be eaten during the cold winter. The sun arouses certain laziness\, a sensual relaxation. Autumn\, with its different shades of red\, is the season of birth and potato harvest. Women and men find intimacy in the coldness of winter\, hence\, women give birth in October and November. Fathers meet their children in December. Preparations start early to welcome men. Waiting is long and tiring.\n   \n   Winter is near\, a form of suspense sets in: whose husband will come first? The men arrive with the snow. The women are shy\, they need time to exist in the presence of men. The children are happy to be close to their fathers. Spring sets in\, the atmosphere becomes tense. Men depart for the land of tsars. She is weak and sad but needs to find the strength to take care of the children.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at armenianstudies@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works
DESCRIPTION:View the online gallery at https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/humanitiesgalleries/sarah-rose-sharp/\n\nResults or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded \"High Stakes Art\" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that\, as she explains\, \"forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual.\"\n\nThanks to the grant from The Andrew W. 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. She writes about art and culture for Art in America\, Hyperallergic\, Flash Art\, Sculpture Magazine\, ArtSlant\, and others.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME Master's Defense: George Malinee
DESCRIPTION:Traumatic bone injuries are very common orthopedic conditions that often require advanced treatment. The Masquelet technique is an existing two-stage surgical method used to heal traumatic injuries and non-unions. Last year in the United States alone there were 500\,000 bone graft procedures performed to heal and treat these traumatic bone injuries or defects. The majority of these grafting procedures are necessary due to the size of these defects. These defects are called critical size defects and are defined by defects that are too large to heal naturally or defects that are more than 2.5 times the radius of the bone. The crux of the Masqulet technique is the induction of a biological membrane that provides the proper environment for osteogenesis. There is a desire to use a tissue engineering approach to fabricate and culture these membranes in vitro to later be used as part of the Masquelet technique. A tissue engineering approach was taken to engineer these membranes using a fibrin hydrogel platform seeded with normal human lung fibroblasts or a co-culture of fibroblasts or human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Constructs were analyzed for axial and radial compaction\, cell viability\, and cell morphology at differing time points and under different culture media conditions. Viable\, vascularized constructs were able to be reliably manufactured and cultured allowing for characterization of the system. Although this work is not exhaustive\, it sheds some light on a possible tissue engineering approach to work in conjunction with the Masquelet technique. Future work will focus on exploring other properties of the fibrin constructs as well as characterizing constructs made of collagen\, and a combination of collagen and fibrin.\n\nDate: Wednesday\, December 2\, 2020\nTime: 6:30 AM\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/92706362206\nChair: Dr. Jan Stegemann

SUMMARY:Film Screening:John Lewis: Good Trouble (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS\, STARTLING WORKS OF ART\, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER \n \nCollection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. 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!

Men leave nine months of the year for Russia to work. Summer\, a slow and friendly atmosphere\; women do the hay\, cut the grass\, and store for the winter. Fruits are canned to be eaten during the cold winter. The sun arouses certain laziness\, a sensual relaxation. Autumn\, with its different shades of red\, is the season of birth and potato harvest. Women and men find intimacy in the coldness of winter\, hence\, women give birth in October and November. Fathers meet their children in December. Preparations start early to welcome men. Waiting is long and tiring.\n   \n   Winter is near\, a form of suspense sets in: whose husband will come first? The men arrive with the snow. The women are shy\, they need time to exist in the presence of men. The children are happy to be close to their fathers. Spring sets in\, the atmosphere becomes tense. Men depart for the land of tsars. She is weak and sad but needs to find the strength to take care of the children.\n   \nTamara Stepanyan was born in Armenia.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Curating Covid: Material and Visual Cultures of the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:While there is so far no known cure for Covid and the disease continues to kill thousands daily around the globe\, humanity has spent the better part of this year attempting to make do – some by doing their best to protect themselves and their loved ones as they continue to perform the work essential to their survival or deemed essential by society\; others\, by sheltering in place\, reducing the radius of our daily activities\, developing new routines. How will we know and remember all this? Who is the chronicler of Covid\, who are its curators? What will be the sources\, not of the political histories and for future medical research\, but for narrating the pandemic as experience\, for explaining its everyday reality to future generations?\n   \nThis panel of brief presentations aims to prompt our collective thinking about a Covid archive\, and how it will be constructed. Presenters from different disciplines and national backgrounds will be asked to share images or objects that bring our pandemic present into focus and allow us to explore together questions for the future: who is collecting what? What are the objects in which our daily experience materializes\, and which might speak to the future? Where and how does the pandemic leave its traces in our visual cultures\, and (how) do these differ depending on national contexts? The virus itself knows no borders\, but can we discern transnational and global patterns in our responses in an increasingly fractured world?\n\nSPEAKERS\n\nAlexandra Arkhipova is senior research fellow and head of the Contemporary Folklore Monitoring Research Group at the School of Advanced Studies in the Humanities\, Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration in Moscow\, Russia.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Social Psychology Brown Bag:
DESCRIPTION:Ariana\n\nTitle: Unbalanced Expectations? Examining Graduate Students of Color’s Mentorship Expectations for Faculty of Color vs. White Faculty\n\nAbstract:\nAccording to previous work\, faculty of color report that students of color expect them to provide greater support and understanding of their concerns given their shared identities\, compared to White faculty. My work examines these possible unbalanced expectations from the graduate students’ perspective. First\, in a qualitative study\, I examine which types of mentorship expectations are most important to graduate students (e.g.\, research\, professional\, socioemotional support\, respect). In a second\, correlational study I investigate whether graduate students of color report higher mentorship expectations for faculty advisors of color than White faculty advisors. Furthermore\, this study examines whether these unbalanced expectations could be explained by the student’s perception that an advisor of color is more understanding of their situation and specific needs as a person of color in academia (i.e.\, perceived race-based empathy). \n\nDesiree\n\nTitle: Assessing Perceptions of Leaders Who Use Anger in the Workplace: An Intersectional Approach\n\nAbstract: \nIn 2019\, Women in the Workplace (the largest study of the state of women in cooperate America) reported that for every 100 entry-level men that are promoted to managerial positions\, only 58 Black women are promoted. Why might this be the case? Standards for men in the workplace are very different than standards for women in the workplace. Past research demonstrates that women leaders who use anger in the workplace are penalized more than men leaders who use anger in the workplace. This might be because women are stereotyped and expected to show emotions like happiness\, fear\, and sympathy. Concurrently\, men are stereotyped and believed to express emotions like anger and pride.  Further\, women leaders who demonstrate stereotype inconsistent behaviors are penalized professionally. What’s interesting however\, is when we intersect gender and race\, differing stereotypes about women and emotionality emerge. The Angry Black Woman (ABW) stereotypes characterizes Black women as being angry aggressive\, unfeminine\, and attitudinal. The intersection of race with gender presents a stereotype that directly contrasts stereotypes and beliefs about women’s emotions overall. If being angry is stereotype consistent with Black women\, as it is with men\, then we might expect Black women leaders to not be penalized for expressing anger in the workplace\, as are men. In our work\, we asked whether professional evaluations of leaders who use anger in the workplace depend on  (1) the gender of the evaluator\, (2) the gender of the leader\, and/or (3) the race of the leader. White participants (N = 183) read a fake transcript in which a leader describes an interaction with an employee. In the interaction\, the leader expressed anger or sympathy. The researchers manipulated the race and gender of the leader. Participants made professional evaluations of the leader. Overall\, white men and white women participants rated White leaders similarly professionally regardless of the emotion expressed. However\, for Black leaders\, White women rated Black women leaders higher professionally than Black men leaders regardless of the emotion expressed. Additionally\, White men rated Black men leaders higher professionally than Black women leaders regardless of the emotion expressed. These findings suggest that the perceiver gender impacts impression formation/maintenance of leaders in the workplace.

SUMMARY:Presentation:A Data Orientation to Immigrants Admitted to the United States\, Federal Fiscal Years 1972-2000
DESCRIPTION:This past September\, we had the opportunity to learn how these recently-released data arrived to ICPSR. Now it is time for an introduction to the data collection itself! Principal Investigator Sherrie Kossoudji will describe these data (Immigrants Admitted to the United States\, Federal Fiscal Years 1972-2000)\, which include every single person admitted as an immigrant 1972-2000\, and give insights into the types of analyses that might be undertaken. Could you be the first to publish using these data?\n\nDr. Sherrie A. Kossoudji is presently an associate professor in the School of Social Work and an adjunct associate professor in the Department of Economics. Her principal research area is immigration. She has written numerous articles on the legal status of immigrant workers in the United States and the incentives to cross the border illegally. Much of her work attempts to discern the link between legal status in the United States and economic outcomes. She has written on wealth disparities for immigrants--in particular\, on homeownership as assets for immigrants. Her latest immigration work focuses on new immigrant children to the United States\, particularly adopted orphans from abroad\, and on the economic incentives and consequences of citizenship for immigrants to the United States. Recently\, she has examined markets for body parts around the world. In particular\, markets for sperm and ova are useful to identify social constructions of desirability and the price associated with them. She has also written on numerous labor and wealth issues and gendered outcomes. Much of her work focuses on gendered differences in economic outcomes for those at the margins of society. Dr. Kossoudji speaks publicly around the world about immigration\, citizenship\, and life sciences and reproduction.\n\nDid you miss the story of the curation of these data?

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Research Universities and the Public Good in the Time of COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:ISR Insights Speaker Series is a series focusing on the research happening at ISR.\n\nJason Owen-Smith (Executive Director\, Institute for Research on Innovation & Science (IRIS)\; Executive Director\, Research Analytics\; Professor of Sociology\, University of Michigan\; Research Professor\, Institute for Social Research)\n\nWednesday\, December 2 at 2pm EST: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91211224326\n\nAmerica's most research intensive universities represent about 3% of higher education institutions\, but they conduct 90% of the nation's academic research. Drawing on his recent book\, Research Universities and the Public Good: Discovery for an Uncertain Future and the work of ISR's Institute for Research on Innovation & Science (IRIS)\, which he directs\, Jason Owen-Smith will explain how these unique and essential organizations serve as an important form of \"social insurance\" in the face of an uncertain future. Universities like U of M are uniquely able to address \"unknown unknowns\,\" problems and opportunities we do not know we have yet. No other sector or type of organization accomplishes is equipped to serve this purpose in our society. COVID-19 puts special pressures on the academic research mission that come after more than a decade of declining public support. The pandemic and its effects jeopardize the US Academic Research Enterprise (US-ARE) and with it the future health\, wealth\, and well-being of our nation and the world. Drawing on unique data science resources developed at IRIS\, and 20 years of work on the economic and social value of research and innovation\, Owen-Smith highlights the challenges and explains how they might be addressed by federal and state policy-makers\, the leaders and faculty of institutions like ours.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCAIM Colloquium | Passive Imaging and Communication
DESCRIPTION:In this talk we consider the propagation of waves transmitted by ambient noise sources. We discuss a generalized Helmholtz-Kirchhoff identity that derives from Green's identity and Sommerfeld radiation condition. The inspection of this identity makes it possible to design passive imaging methods\, i.e.\, imaging methods using only passive receiver arrays and ambient noise illumination. More surprisingly\, it is also possible to design an original passive communication scheme between two passive arrays that uses only ambient noise illumination. The passive transmitter array does not transmit anything but it is a tunable meta-material surface that can modulate its scattering properties and encode a message in the modulation.

DESCRIPTION:The University Center for Language and Literacy is offering a workshop designed to help you reach personal communication goals. *Speaking American English: A workshop for English Language Learners* offers a supportive environment where you have the opportunity to practice the language skills that are important to you.\n\nOur certified Speech-Language Pathologists use techniques to help non-native English speakers feel more confident in their communications – whether that’s giving a presentation\, or taking notes in a class with a native speaker who speaks fast. The goal of the program is not to eliminate a client’s accent\, but to build confidence in any communication or setting.\n\nParticipants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction. The workshop typically runs for 10 weeks\, but will depend on when it begins. If the group workshop does work with your schedule\, please contact us\; individual consultations are available.\n\nWhat to Expect\n* An initial meeting focusing on setting your personal goals and objectives\n* Both group and individual activities\n* Exercises for improving articulation\, rate control\, and projection\n* Increased confidence in social and professional interactions\n* Guidance from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist\n\nContact UCLL at (734) 764-8440 or visit LanguageExperts.org for more details and to register.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:MIPSE Seminar | Exploring Transformative Startup Solutions for Magnetically Confined Fusion Plasmas
DESCRIPTION:The seminar is free and open to the public.\nTo request the Zoom link\, please send an email to:\nmipse-central@umich.edu\n\nAbstract:\nThe potential to use fusion as a carbon-free\, fuel-abundant energy source to meet the world’s growing energy demands has motivated significant US and international research. One research path to realize fusion energy involves tokamaks that magnetically confine hot plasmas in the shape of a torus. Almost every tokamak fusion reactor in the world relies on magnetic induction from a central solenoid to drive the current necessary to create a fusion grade plasma. Minimizing or eliminating the need for a central solenoid in a tokamak would greatly simplify the construction and reduce the cost of these devices\, increasing their viability for commercial energy production. Solenoid-free startup techniques such as helicity injection (HI) and radiofrequency (RF) wave injection offer the potential of reducing the technical requirements of\, or possibly the need for\, a central solenoid. A major upgrade is underway for the spherical tokamak\, Pegasus-III at the U of Wisconsin. The new facility will be a dedicated US platform to study innovations in plasma startup techniques\, allowing for studies of both HI and RF during plasma initiation\, ramp-up and sustainment. Experimental plans for RF heating and current drive in the microwave regime will be presented. The new capabilities of Pegasus-III will provide a bold test of the viability of a non-solenoidal compact tokamak using reactor relevant techniques.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nProf. Diem’s research interests are in experimental plasma physics for fusion energy development with emphasis on validating numerical models with experimental data. She focuses on utilizing radio frequency (RF) waves to heat and drive current in magnetically confined plasmas. Prof. Diem’s current research is focused on electron Bernstein wave and electron cyclotron heating and current drive experiments on Pegasus-III at UW-Madison as well as collaborations domestically and internationally on RF injection in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Prof. Diem received her PhD in Plasma Physics from Princeton U. where she developed diagnostics to study electron Bernstein wave emission and mode conversion on the National Spherical Tokamak at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab. She received a BS in Nuclear Engineering & Engineering Physics from UW-Madison. Prior to joining the faculty at UW-Madison\, Prof. Diem was a Research and Development Staff Scientist in the Fusion Energy Division at Oak Ridge National Lab. and was on long-term assignment at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility at General Atomics in San Diego\, CA.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:DCMB / CCMB Weekly Seminar
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:  The brain is made of networks of neurons that send information to each other via spikes.  Sleep and wake are the most clearly definable brain states and each exerts unique effects upon neural network spiking activity. We used large-scale recordings in the frontal cortex of mice and rats to examine the activity of neurons during wake/sleep cycles and found that a novel form of homeostatic action is taken by sleep: homogenization of firing rates.  Whereas it was previously believed that sleep simple decreased firing rates\, we found that this was much more true of the most active neurons only\, thereby reducing the variance of the population.  \n\n   To extend this observation of homeostatic forced during sleep we also examine how sleep and wake states interact with learning and performance\, which is also facilitated by sleep.  We have therefore begun to record before\, during and after learning sessions to determine how learning interacts with the usual homeostatic effects of sleep.  Further we can also record how waking changes in brain states such as motivation and attention modulate firing and information processing by neurons during behavior itself.\n\n    Finally\, our end-goal to translate these kinds of basic neurobiologic observations in healthy rodents to states of stress or treatments of stress.  Unfortunately the chronic stress states of relevance to psychiatric disease do not last seconds but days and weeks.   We have therefore begun to build new long-term recording environments to enable future experiments over these time-spans.\n\nBIOGRAPHY:\nDr. Watson is an assistant professor in psychiatry at the University of Michigan.  He grew up in Ann Arbor and then obtained his BA from Cornell University and his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia University.   During his Ph.D. he used two-photon microscopy to study the behavior of neurons in local cortical microcircuits.  During his doctoral work he also participated in technical development of multi-beam two photon imaging techniques. Upon graduation from medical school\, Dr. Watson pursued a residency in Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College as well postdoctoral work at New York University.  He received the National Institute for Mental Health’s Outstanding Resident Award\, the American Psychiatric Association’s Lilly Research Fellowship and the Leon Levy Neuroscience Fellowship.  He did a fellowship with Dr. Gyorgy Buzsaki at NYU to record ongoing activity in naturally behaving and sleeping animals wherein he showed that sleep reorganizes neuronal firing architecture in the neocortex in previously unknown ways.  He is now combining his electrical recordings with behavioral tools to deepen his understanding of both use and regulation of cortical brain circuits.  \n\nhttps://umich-health.zoom.us/j/93929606089?pwd=SHh6R1FOQm8xMThRemdxTEFMWWpVdz09

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Near Term to Net Zero: A New Approach to Setting Carbon Prices
DESCRIPTION:Join Citizens' Climate Lobby for a presentation on a new method for determining the carbon price needed to achieve net zero CO2 emissions.\n\nEconomists widely agree that putting a price on fossil fuels is the most effective tool for reducing carbon emissions. But what level of carbon price is needed to reduce carbon emissions fast enough to prevent catastrophic climate change?\n\nProf. Alexander R. Barron will present a new method he and colleagues have developed to calculate the necessary carbon price. Their work was recently published in the paper \"A near-term to net zero alternative to the social cost of carbon for setting carbon prices\,\" N. Kaufman\, A. Barron\, W. Krawczyk\, P. Marsters and H. McJeon\, Nature Climate Change. As the authors have written\,\n\n\"This approach enables policymakers to use both climate science and economics to chart an effective\, efficient pathway to net-zero emissions.\"\n\nDr. Barron is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Policy at Smith College. Before joining Smith\, he worked in Congress to design comprehensive climate legislation (including the American Clean Energy and Security Act)\, and covered international climate negotiations. He also worked in the Office of Policy at the EPA\, where he advised senior EPA leadership and worked on standards to reduce carbon pollution (e.g.\, the Clean Power Plan)\, cross-state air pollution\, and mercury and other toxics. He also helped guide EPA’s work on environmental economics and climate adaptation.\n\nThe presentation will be followed by time for discussion.\n\nPlease register using the Eventbrite Registration link.  Zoom connection instructions will be sent via email prior to the event.\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor and University of Michigan chapters of Citizens' Climate Lobby.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works
DESCRIPTION:View the online gallery at https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/humanitiesgalleries/sarah-rose-sharp/\n\nResults or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded \"High Stakes Art\" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that\, as she explains\, \"forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual.\"\n\nThanks to the grant from The Andrew W. 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. She writes about art and culture for Art in America\, Hyperallergic\, Flash Art\, Sculpture Magazine\, ArtSlant\, and others.

She is a guest lecturer at several universities in Southeast Michigan and served as a mentor in the NYFA Immigrant Artist Mentorship Program in 2018.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:John Lewis: Good Trouble (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:In-Between the World and Dreams
DESCRIPTION:In this multi-venue project led by the Institute for the Humanities\, in collaboration with the Charles H. 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. Mellon Foundation to further the Institute for the Humanities Gallery’s longtime mission in support of art as social practice.\n\nOct. 1-23\; large-scale public art installation\, U-M Museum of Art building facade\, 525 S.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS\, STARTLING WORKS OF ART\, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER \n \nCollection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. 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 is a free event\, and all are welcome.\n\n

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Raqs Media Collective in Conversation with Gunalan Nadarajan
DESCRIPTION:Raqs Media Collective in Conversation with Gunalan Nadarajan\, Dean\, Stamps School of Art & Design\nCo-presented with Expo Chicago\n\nDecember 3\, 2020 - 11am EST/10am CST/ 7.30pm IST\n\nFollowing the world premiere of two new videos commissioned by Stamps Gallery\, twentyfourbyseven*(6 mins \, video\, calligraphy\, text\, animation)\, 2020 and Why do they call the answer to a question\, a solution?*(12 mins\, video\, spoken word)\, 2020\, Raqs Media Collective reflect on the process of creating The Pandemic Circle after the predicament of quarantine and seclusion caused by the Covid-19 pandemic gripped contemporary life across the globe. The Pandemic Circle includes 31 Days(18 minutes\, video\, calligraphy\, text)\, 2020\, the first video in the series that was released in the summer of 2020. \n\nThe renowned collective will be in conversation with Gunalan Nadarajan\, curator and Dean of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nDescription of NEW Films in the Pandemic Circle  \n\ntwentyfourbyseven(6 mins \, video\, calligraphy\, text\, animation)\, 2020\n\nWalking a tightrope between knowing and feeling in elongated pandemic days and nights. There is an awareness of the awareness of how the nervous system responds to the nervousness of this time. There is now the out-of-body sensation of looking back on each moment as it passes\, twentyfourbyseven.\n\nWhy do they call the answer to a question\, a solution?(12 mins\, video\, spoken word)\, 2020\n\nThe third video in this Pandemic Circle turns into an enquiry into the very form of thinking. It moves between lesions\, joys\, epiphanies\, and terror. The image and voice rewire spaces left unattended by various 20th century impasses. The film reflects on exhaustion and inventiveness\, love and dignity\, deep pasts and faint futures\, and the ruptures that modulate the share of “overcoming” and “overturning” in our individual selves\, and collective life. The video enters troubled waters to search for news way to look at horizons.\n\nFor more information\, please contact:\nJennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Outreach & Public engagement Coordinator\, Stamps Gallery\nKate Sierzputowski\, Strategic Initiatives & Programming Coordinator\, Expo Chicago\n\n  \n\nPlease RSVP to reserve your place for this free event: https://program.expochicago.com

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LSI Seminar Series: Astrid D. Haase\, M.D.\, Ph.D.\, National Institutes of Health
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAkin to an adaptive immune system\, PIWI-interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) protect the integrity of germline genomes by silencing mobile genetic elements (transposons). Precision of piRNA silencing is essential for the survival of a species\, and target-recognition by complementary base-pairing places the sequences of piRNAs at its center. How piRNAs are controlled to ensure silencing of all transposons while avoiding mistargeting of essential host genes remains an outstanding question in reproductive biology. This seminar presentation will explore mechanisms of piRNA biogenesis to understand how specificity of piRNA silencing is regulated and adjusted to gain control over novel genomic invaders.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nAstrid Haase received an M.D. from the University of Vienna (Austria) in 2002 and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Basel (Switzerland) in 2007. Haase became interested in small non-coding RNAs during her graduate work with Prof. Witek Filipowicz at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research in Basel\, and continued exploring mechanisms of RNA silencing as a postdoc with Prof. Greg Hannon at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. She began her independent research group as a Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator at the NIH National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases in 2015.

SUMMARY:Presentation:The ICPSR Student Data Sandbox Debut
DESCRIPTION:Introducing the ICPSR Student Data Sandbox!\n\nThe Sandbox (https://www.openicpsr.org/openicpsr/studentdata) is a place for students and classes from ICPSR member institutions to self-publish data they generate and/or use. Students will:\n- Learn about data management with the goal of sharing\n- Be recognized for the work they've contributed to social and behavioral research with a data citation and persistent identifier\n- Learn from each other's data\nThe data can be collected by the students themselves or subsets of existing datasets\, anything that students use for their own research.\n\nThis webinar will include best practices and general instructions for building your sandcastle (we had to!). We'll discuss how research methods courses that generally conduct campus surveys can compare their results to those from the previous years or to others from different kinds of schools\, and how students looking for data for a research project might be interested to know what others have used. The possibilities are almost endless.\n\nThis is part of the ICPSR Maximizing Your Membership Value Series. See previous webinars from this series on the ICPSR YouTube channel\, and find out more about ICPSR membership at icpsr.umich.edu.\n\nRegister at http://myumi.ch/K43oD

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SEMINAR: \"Large-scale Inference of Time-varying Markov Random Fields: Bridging the Gap Between Statistical and Computational Efficiencies\" — Salar Fattahi
DESCRIPTION:The Departmental Seminar Series is open to all. U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nThis event will be a joint seminar with the MICDE.\n\nTitle:\nLarge-scale Inference of Time-varying Markov Random Fields: Bridging the Gap Between Statistical and Computational Efficiencies\n\nAbstract:\nContemporary systems are comprised of a massive number of interconnected components that interact according to a hierarchy of complex\, dynamic\, and unknown topologies. For example\, with billions of neurons and hundreds of thousands of voxels\, the human brain is considered as one of the most complex physiological networks\, whose structure remains as a long-standing mystery. As another example\, the emergence of self-driving cars has only accentuated the need for the development of real-time and reliable methods for detecting moving objects\, whose temporal locations are captured through a dynamically-evolving 3D network. Nonetheless\, the vast amounts of parameters to be estimated\, caused both by the large number of components and the time-varying nature of the systems\, are currently the major bottlenecks in our ability to successfully solve such inference problems. \n\nThe temporal behavior of today's interconnected systems can be captured via time-varying Markov random fields (MRF). A popular approach to achieve this goal is based on the so-called maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE): to find a probabilistic graphical model\, based on which the observed data is most probable to occur. The MLE-based methods suffer from several fundamental drawbacks which render them impractical in realistic settings. First\, they often suffer from notoriously high computational cost in the massive problems\, where the number of variables to be inferred is in the order of millions\, or more. Second\, they fail to efficiently incorporate prior structural information into their estimation procedure. With the goal of bridging this knowledge gap\, the aim of this work is to revisit the standard MLE as the “Holy Grail” of the inference methods for graphical models\, and precisely pinpoint and remedy the scenarios where it fails. A recurring theme in our proposed approach is a class of efficiently-solvable mixed-integer optimization problems that is used in lieu of the regularized MLE for the inference of time-varying MRFs. Our proposed optimization problems enjoy strong statistical and computational guarantees\, while being amenable to a wide class of graphical models with different side information\, such as sparsity\, smoothness\, etc.\n\nBio:\nSalar Fattahi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from UC Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Collection and Analysis of Driving Videos based on Traffic Participants
DESCRIPTION:Autonomous vehicle (AV) prototypes have been deployed in increasingly varied environments in recent years. An AV must be able to reliably detect and predict the future motion of traffic participants to maintain safe operation based on data collected from high-quality onboard sensors. Sensors such as camera and LiDAR generate high-bandwidth data that requires substantial computational and memory resources. To address these AV challenges\, this thesis investigates three related problems: 1) What will the observed traffic participants do? 2) Is an anomalous traffic event likely to happen in near future? and 3) How should we collect fleet-wide high-bandwidth data based on 1) and 2) over the long-term? \n\nThe first problem is addressed with future traffic trajectory and pedestrian behavior prediction.We propose a future object localization (FOL) method for trajectory prediction in first person videos (FPV). FOL encodes heterogeneous observations including bounding boxes\, optical flow features and ego camera motions with multi-stream recurrent neural networks (RNN) to predict future trajectories. We then introduce BiTraP\, a goal-conditioned bidirectional multi-modal trajectory prediction method. BiTraP estimates multi-modal trajectories and uses novel bi-directional decoder and loss to improve longer-term trajectory prediction accuracy. We show that different choices of non-parametric versus parametric target models directly influence predicted multi-modal trajectory distributions. Experiments with two FPV and six bird's-eye view (BEV) datasets show the effectiveness of our methods compared to state-of-the-art. We define pedestrian behavior prediction as a combination of action and intent. We hypothesize that current and future actions are strong intent priors and propose a multi-task leaning RNN encoder-decoder network to detect and predict future pedestrian actions and street crossing intent. Experimental results show that one task helps the other so they together achieve state-of-the-art performance on published datasets.\n\nTo identify likely traffic anomaly events\, we propose to predict locations of traffic participants over a near-term future horizon and monitor accuracy and consistency of these predictions as evidence of an anomaly. Inconsistent predictions tend to indicate an anomaly has or is about to occur. A supervised video action recognition method can then be applied to classify detected anomalies. We introduce a spatial-temporal area under curve (STAUC) metric as a supplement to the existing area under curve (AUC) evaluation and show it captures how well a model detects both temporal and spatial locations of anomalous events. Experimental results show the proposed method and consistency-based anomaly score are more robust to moving cameras than image generation based methods\; our method achieves state-of-the-art performance over AUC and STAUC metrics. \n\nVideo anomaly detection (VAD) and action recognition support event-of-interest (EOI) distinction from normal driving data. We introduce a Smart Black Box (SBB)\, an intelligent event data recorder\, to prioritize EOI data in long-term driving.  The SBB compresses high-bandwidth data based on EOI potential and on-board storage limits. The SBB is designed to prioritize newer and anomalous driving data and discard older and normal data. An optimal compression factor is selected based on the trade-off between data value and storage cost.Experiments in a traffic simulator and with real-world datasets show the efficiency and effectiveness of using a SBB to collect high-quality videos in long-term driving.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:History of Color Printing
DESCRIPTION:Our lives are lived mainly on screen now. Many of us spend upwards of 10 hours a day staring at fields of RGB pixels that look like hand-held versions of giant\, flat cornfields. Hours and hours of driving through flat\, monotonous\, tall\, green corn stalks is not that different from hours and hours of Zoom meetings.\n\nArtist Clifton Meador presents some of the history of color printing — since media archeology is a useful way of reframing current technology — and offers some practical approaches to making color for hand printmaking processes\, such as risography.\n\nOf course\, the irony of delivering this content via the screen is acute\, but Meador also offers participants a PDF of a booklet that delivers similar content.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:John Lewis: Good Trouble (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:In-Between the World and Dreams
DESCRIPTION:In this multi-venue project led by the Institute for the Humanities\, in collaboration with the Charles H. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Yinqiu He\, PhD Candidate\, Department of Statistics\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn scientific research that involves large-scale data\, researchers often start with questions regarding the global properties of a large set of measurements. For instance\, are a group of related genes in the same functional pathway jointly associated with a trait of interest? Such questions can be formulated as hypothesis testing problems that globally examine a large number of parameters in a high-dimensional joint distribution. Examples include hypothesis testing on mean vectors\, covariance matrices and regression coefficients. To extract informative scientific knowledge from abundant data\, reliability and efficiency are among the major concerns in statistical inference.\n\nIn this talk\, I will address particular reliability and efficiency issues arising from jointly testing a large number of parameters. First\, I will discuss how reliable the popular likelihood ratio tests (LRTs) are in terms of the type I error control for high-dimensional data. I will present statistically principled guidelines on the reliability of the LRTs in a variety of problems\, which are based on phase transition results of the foundational Wilk’s theorem. Next\, to improve efficiency of the existing testing procedures under high-dimensional settings\, I will introduce a new adaptive testing framework that can maintain high statistical power against a wide range of alternative hypotheses. The proposed framework is based on a family of U-statistics that are constructed to capture the information in different directions in high-dimensional spaces. For a broad class of problems\, we establish high-dimensional asymptotic theory for the U-statistics and develop adaptive testing procedures that are statistically powerful in a wide variety of scenarios.\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/94350208889\nThere will be a virtual reception to follow.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS\, STARTLING WORKS OF ART\, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER \n \nCollection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. 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 is a free event\, and all are welcome.\n\n

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Biophysics Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The Biophysics Virtual Seminar Series presents:\n\nDr. Oleg Igoshin - Professor of Bioengineering & BioSciences\, Associate Chair of Bioengineering\, Rice University\n\n*“Understanding Trade-offs in Biological Error Correction”*\n\nJoin us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96475935279\n\nAbstract: High accuracy of major biological processes relies on the ability of the participating enzymatic molecules to preferentially select the correct substrate from a pool of chemically similar substrates by activating the so-called proofreading mechanisms. While the importance of such mechanisms is widely accepted\, it is still unclear how evolution has optimized the biological systems with respect to their characteristic properties. We developed a comprehensive first-passage theoretical framework that allowed us to quantitatively investigate the trade-offs between four properties of enzymatic systems namely\, error\, speed\, noise and energy dissipation. Within this framework\, we simultaneously analyzed speed and accuracy of several fundamental biological processes\, including DNA replication\, tRNA charging\, and tRNA selection during the translation. The results indicate that contrary to typical assumptions speed-accuracy trade-off is not always observed. However\, when the trade-off is present\, the biological systems tend to optimize the speed rather than the accuracy of the processes\, as long as the error level is tolerable. When systems function in the regime where no speed-accuracy trade-off is observed\, constraints due to energy dissipation in the proofreading play a key role. Our theory demonstrates a universal Pareto front in error-dissipation trade-off and shows how naturally selected kinetic parameters position their system close to this boundary. Our findings\, therefore\, provide a new system-level picture of how complex biological processes are able to function so fast with a high accuracy and low dissipation.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CSEAS Lecture Series. What Kind of Ecological Culture Do We Need?: Drought History and Lessons from Premodern Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:Free event\; please register in advance at: http://myumi.ch/O4kB0\n\nHave we been making the environment worse while knowing more about how it works? Since the nineteenth century\, the rapid advancement of technologies has led to an increasingly sophisticated knowledge of the natural world. Science has helped explain the vast array of environmental processes. However\, we\, the human species\, have also become the frontal force of worsening conditions of the natural environment. In order to call for a reflection on our ecological culture\, this talk examines the history of drought from an area in eastern mainland Southeast Asia\, the core of what would later become modern Vietnam. It shows\, on the one hand\, why drought would stir up the most pressing social and political crises in the premodern period. On the other hand\, it explores the historical context that helped consolidate the premodern Vietnamese people’s resilience to drought. Most importantly\, this history uncovers a sustained ecological culture which compellingly asks us to rethink the way we have bonded with nature.\n   \n   Hieu Phung (PhD\, University of Hawaii) is a historian of premodern Vietnam and Southeast Asia. She is currently a visiting scholar at the Ohio State University\, and she will be teaching for both the University of Michigan and the University of Hawaii in the Fall of 2020. Before coming to the United States\, she taught at Vietnam National University-Hanoi and carried out extensive archival research at the Institute of Hán-Nôm Studies. Her research focuses on the relationship between the environment and state building\, with a particular interest in the historical agency of water and climate in stimulating social and political change. In pursuing environmental history\, she makes extensive use of traditional maps and texts that reveal the production of geographical knowledge. She is working on a book project entitled The Realization of a Water Space: An Environmental History of Late Medieval Vietnam\, using documents written in both classical Chinese and the demotic Vietnamese Nôm script. Her recent article\, “Naming the Red River - Becoming a Vietnamese river\,” will be published by the Journal of Southeast Asian Studies this December.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Affect and the Archive: Writing the History of Emotions In Emotional Times
DESCRIPTION:In the past year\, the day-to-day conduct of historical research and teaching has changed substantially\, creating new forms of engagement with archival material\, as well as novel \"structures of feeling\" and mood that shape the narratives historians produce both on the page and in the (now virtual) classroom. These developments have prompted a number of pressing questions about affect and the archive\, emotionality and history: How does one historicize affect? What are the emotional consequences of historical work\, both for historians and for those affected by their research and teaching? How does one approach a \"difficult\" or \"traumatic\" archive\, and what makes an archive \"difficult\" or \"traumatic\" in the first place? This roundtable will discuss these questions and more from a self-reflexive perspective\, exploring affect not only as a subject of historical inquiry and a methodological approach\, but also as an integral component of the experience of being a historian in emotional times.\n\nPanelists:\n•Colin Garon\, PhD Student\, Anthropology and History\, University of Michigan\n•Matthew Hershey\, PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan\n•Tara Weinberg\, PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan\n•Deirdre de la Cruz (chair)\, Associate Professor\; History\, Asian Languages and Cultures\; University of Michigan\n\nFree and open to the public. This is a remote event and will take place online via Zoom. Please register here in advance: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_fnV7XugkTKK8krUXt5APqg\n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:LEAD: Decentering Whiteness in the Academy
DESCRIPTION:This LEAD conversation will address how administrators\, faculty\, and staff can decenter whiteness at an institutional level and create a sense of belonging for all. The racial inequities exposed by COVID-19 paired with a national uprising against systemic racism has led colleges and universities nationwide to prioritize anti-racist teaching. While these efforts are appreciated and long overdue\, higher education institutions need to continue to examine how their policies and pedagogies have perpetuated racism and inequities and prohibited an inclusive learning environment for marginalized students. How can we demonstrate that actions to dismantle differential advantages—such as diversifying the curriculum\, implementing holistic admissions practices\, and recruiting and promoting people of color—are best for higher education institutions overall?\nSpeakers\nStephanie Rowley is Provost\, Dean\, and Vice President for Academic Affairs of Teachers College. Prior to joining Teachers College\, she served in several key leadership positions at the University of Michigan\, including Associate Chair and Interim Chair of the Psychology Department\, Chair of the Combined Program of Education and Psychology\, and Associate Vice President for Research for Social Science\, Arts\, and Humanities. In these roles\, she was successful in advancing research and teaching support for faculty\, advancing interdisciplinary collaboration\, and strengthening graduate student life and development. She earned her B.A. (1992) from the University of Michigan\, and her Ph.D. (1997) in developmental psychology from the University of Virginia. She began her career as a faculty member at the University of North Carolina in 1997\, and in 2000 she joined the University of Michigan’s Department of Psychology. In her research\, she focuses on the influence of race- and gender-related attitudes and beliefs on the development of children’s academic self-concept with a strong emphasis on parents’ roles in the development of these attitudes.\nElizabeth Cole is Professor of Psychology\, Women’s and Gender Studies\, and Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan. She earned her doctorate at the University of Michigan in Personality Psychology and taught at Northeastern University before joining U-M in 2000. Her research has been published in journals in psychology and women’s studies\, including American Psychologist\, Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology\, and Psychology of Women Quarterly. She is coauthor (with Andrea Press) of Speaking of Abortion: Television and Authority in the Lives of Women (University of Chicago Press\, 1999). She is a past president and a fellow of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (American Psychological Association Division 9)\, and a consulting editor for Psychology of Women Quarterly. She served as the associate dean for social sciences and the interim dean of the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\, and is currently the Associate Chair for Diversity Initiatives in the Department of Psychology. Her scholarship applies feminist theory on intersectionality to social science research on race\, gender\, and social justice. Her current project aims to complicate current debates on free speech on college campuses by considering the issue through the lens of feminist psychology.\nAccess Real-Time Translation (CART) captioning services will be available.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/AxROe.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Minicolloquium | DM searches at U-M 
DESCRIPTION:LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a dark matter experiment under construction at the 4850’ level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead\, South Dakota. The experiment utilizes a two-phase time projection chamber (TPC)\, containing seven active tonnes of liquefied xenon\, to search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). Auxiliary veto detectors\, including a liquid scintillator outer detector\, improve rejection of unwanted background events in the central region of the detector. LZ has been designed to explore much of the parameter space available for WIMP models\, with excellent sensitivity for WIMP masses between a few GeV and a few TeV. With data taking expected to begin in a few months\, this talk will report the current status of the LZ experiment\, the  contributions of U-M  to LZ and the connection to other areas of particle physics.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women's Vote
DESCRIPTION:Organized by AIGA in partnership with League of Women Voters\n\n2020 marks the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment\, granting women the right to vote in 1920. 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. Giangiulio\, Annabelle Gould\, Brockett Horne\, Meena Khalili\, nicole killian + shawné michaelain holloway\, Karen Kurycki\, Marty Maxwell Lane\, Zuzana Licko\, Ana Llorente\, Beatriz Lozano\, Kelly Salchow MacArthur\, Rebeca Mendez\, Lana Rigsby\, Kaleena Sales\, Renee Seward\, Laurel Shoemaker\, Nancy Sklolos\,  Hannah Smotrich\, Shanti Sparrow\, Jennifer Sterling\, Fearn de Vicq\, Cymone Wilder\, and Lynne Yun.\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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations by Heidi Kumao
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery is pleased to present Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations\, a solo exhibition of narrative fabric works and experimental animations by Stamps Professor Heidi Kumao.\n\nUsing fabric cutouts and machine and hand stitching on industrial felt\, Kumao gives physical form to the intangible dynamics underlying ordinary conversations and relationships from a feminist perspective. 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.

SUMMARY:Auditions:Respond / Resist / Rethink: A Stamps Poster & Video Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Respond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition\n\nStamps Gallery is proud to kick-off the fall semester with Respond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Student Poster & Video Exhibition\, which brings together powerful posters and playful videos made by the students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. 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? We found inspiration in the thoughtful words of renowned civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis (1940-2020) who wrote\, “My fellow Americans\, this is a special moment in our history. Just as people of all faiths and no faiths\, and all backgrounds\, creeds\, and colors banded together decades ago to fight for equality and justice in a peaceful\, orderly\, non-violent fashion\, we must do so again.” His powerful words are a reminder for all of us - present and future generations to stay hopeful\, proactive\, and resilient in our collective efforts to end racial discrimination and foster a true democracy. \n\nIn this spirit\, Stamps Gallery invited the undergraduate and graduate students at Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, to design posters and make videos to respond and contemplate what each of us can do to build a stronger community\, one that is based on the values of racial equality\, justice and belonging. How can we acknowledge our own biases\, learn from each other\, and listen to the voices of those that have been silenced? We are at a pivotal moment in our history as the pandemic radically transforms everyday life. Through this exhibition Stamps Gallery asks the UM community to come together as artists and audiences and envision models for inclusion that are grounded in equality\, belonging and empathy.\n\nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition includes work by Emily Albright\, Adriana Alcala\, Nathan Byrne\, David Forsee\, Eloise Jansenn\, Rey Jeong\, Sohyun Lim\, Anika Love\, Maggie McConnell\, Willian Minzer\, Judah Premble\, Casey Rheault\, Natalia Rocafuerte\, Jenna Scheen\, Ellie Schmidt\, Abigail Seguin\, LaKyla Thomas\, Elijah Thompson\, Benjamin Winans\, and Molly Wu.\n\nArtwork was selected through an open call by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Interdisciplinary Workshop in American Politics (IWAP)
DESCRIPTION:The Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics (IWAP) is a forum for the presentation of ongoing interdisciplinary research in American politics. Most of our presentations are given by graduate students. Each graduate student presenter is assigned a faculty and student discussant. IWAP circulates the work beforehand and the student presents it briefly at the start of the meeting. After discussant feedback\, the bulk of the time is reserved for group discussion among all workshop participants. This format leads to informal yet highly interactive and productive conversations.\n\nEmail zcwalker@umich.edu/ for meeting link.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Evaluation of Terrestrial Water and Energy Budget Components over the St. Lawrence River Basin
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting ID: 94705123379\nUnderstanding the hydrological changes of the Laurentian Great Lakes is of great importance as the system provides a number of ecosystem services to both United States and Canada. Hydrologic modeling is a viable way to assess the lake water level changes. This study systematically evaluates the hydrologic potential of three global/regional reanalysis products\, namely the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Re-Analysis Generation 5 product (ERA-5)\, the Modern-Era Reanalysis for Research and Application version 2 (MERRA-2)\, and the Canadian Precipitation Analysis (CaPA)\, over the St. Lawrence river basin through a suite of uncoupled land surface model simulations for the period from 2014 to 2019. The evaluation focuses on multiple terrestrial water and energy components including soil moisture\, evapotranspiration\, snow depth\, and sensible and latent heat fluxes\, separating for a warm (May to October) and a cold (the rest of the year) season. Our results indicate good agreements in timing and magnitude for most of the simulations. The warm season sensible and latent heat fluxes and evapotranspiration simulations outperform the cold season ones. The soil moisture simulations indicate overestimation throughout the four profiles with increasing random error components for most of the stations. Both the evapotranspiration and soil moisture simulations performance show decreasing trends from low to high latitude bands. The snow depth simulations performance reveal elevation dependencies and spatial patterns conform the air temperature and precipitation differences.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Amy Cutler: Telling Stories
DESCRIPTION:Amy Cutler is an internationally acclaimed artist best known for her enigmatic depictions of women performing strange\, cryptic tasks: carrying goats on their backs in Above the Fjord\, sewing tigers in Tiger Mending\, dancing with chairs on their heads in Dinner Party. Rendered simply\, though with exquisite detail\, Cutler’s style is reminiscent of European folk art\; however\, the narratives are left unexplained and the white backgrounds of her drawings provide little context or clues to the meanings. The fantasy world she creates is sometimes humorous and other times ominous.\n\nCutler is known for exquisitely detailed narrative works of art created through a pastiche of personal memories\, political observations\, and cultural insights. One-person exhibitions of works by the artist have taken place at SITE Santa Fe\; the Indianapolis Museum of Art\; the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía\, Madrid\; the Institute of Contemporary Art\, Philadelphia\; the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art\, Kansas City\; the Weatherspoon Art Museum\, Greensboro\, North Carolina\; and many other galleries and museums in the U.S. and Europe. \n\nWorks by Amy Cutler are featured in distinguished private and public collections\, including\, among others\, The Museum of Modern Art\, New York\; the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía\, Madrid\; the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York\; the Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis\; the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York\; the Hammer Museum\, Los Angeles\, the Morgan Library and Museum\, and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston.\n\nIn conjunction with the Toledo Museum of Art’s exhibition\, Telling Stories: Resilience and Struggle in Contemporary Narrative Drawing\, on view from November 21\, 2020 - February 14\, 2021.\n\nHow to Watch\n\nAll speaker series events will be webcast on Fridays at 8 pm EST at http://pennystampsevents.org and at https://www.dptv.org/programs/arts-culture/penny-stamps-series/ starting Friday\, September 18. You can also watch the talks and join the conversation on the Penny Stamps Series Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PennyStampsSeries/.\n\nNotice of uncensored content\n\nIn accordance with the University of Michigan’s Standard Practice Guidelines on “Freedom of Speech and Artistic Expression\,” the Penny Stamps Speaker Series does not censor our speakers or their content.

DESCRIPTION:Watch Session THREE at http://myumi.ch/kxPgR\n\nDepartment of Musical Theatre\n\n3 unique performances on three nights.\n\nIn theatre tradition\, a ghostlight—usually a single bulb—remains on an empty stage when a theatre goes dark\, to appease the spirits. Faced with the near impossibility of putting on a fully-staged production during a pandemic\, the Department of Musical Theatre has chosen to provide a new kind of ghostlight: an online-only revue of the best that the department has to offer.\n\nThis faculty-led\, student-driven production will feature songs\, skits\, and dances directed\, choreographed\, performed\, and in some cases written by students from across the Department Musical Theatre. From classics of musical theatre to pop\, folk\, and jazz\, this revue has it all.\n\nmore information at http://myumi.ch/XeoQB

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works
DESCRIPTION:View the online gallery at https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/humanitiesgalleries/sarah-rose-sharp/\n\nResults or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded \"High Stakes Art\" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that\, as she explains\, \"forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual.\"\n\nThanks to the grant from The Andrew W. 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. She writes about art and culture for Art in America\, Hyperallergic\, Flash Art\, Sculpture Magazine\, ArtSlant\, and others. Sarah was named a 2015 Kresge Literary Arts Fellow for Art Criticism and is a 2018 recipient of the Rabkin Foundation Prize. She is a guest lecturer at several universities in Southeast Michigan and served as a mentor in the NYFA Immigrant Artist Mentorship Program in 2018. Sarah has served as guest curator and juror for institutions including Penn State University (State College\, PA)\, Scarab Club (Detroit\, MI)\, The Terhune Gallery (Toledo\, OH)\, and The Ann Arbor Art Center (Ann Arbor\, MI). Sarah has shown her own work in New York\, Seattle\, Columbus & Toledo\, OH\, Covington\, KY\, and Detroit—including at the Detroit Institute of Arts—with solo shows at Simone De Sousa Gallery and Public Pool. She is primarily concerned with artist and viewer experiences of making and engaging with art\, and conducts ongoing research into the state of contemporary art in redeveloping cities\, with special focus and regard for Detroit.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:John Lewis: Good Trouble (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:In-Between the World and Dreams
DESCRIPTION:In this multi-venue project led by the Institute for the Humanities\, in collaboration with the Charles H. 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. Mellon Foundation to further the Institute for the Humanities Gallery’s longtime mission in support of art as social practice.\n\nOct. 1-23\; large-scale public art installation\, U-M Museum of Art building facade\, 525 S.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS\, STARTLING WORKS OF ART\, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER \n \nCollection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. 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 is a free event\, and all are welcome.\n\n
