At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

This analysis uses a subsample of the Survey of Social Relations which began in 1992 with a representative sample of Detroit area residents aged 8 to 93 (additional waves in 2005\; 2015). Using latent class growth analyses\, we identified three patterns of change in the proportion of friends in social networks (moderate and increasing\; low and decreasing\; high and increasing) and two patterns of change in positive friendship quality (high positive and decreasing\; high positive and increasing) and negative friendship quality (low negative and steady\, high negative and steady) over time. Neither\, higher education and not being married was associated with social networks that in 1992 had the highest proportion of friends\, that increased over time. Neither age nor gender were significantly associate with changing proportions or quality of friendship. Patterns of change in proportion of friends was not associated with self-rated health or depressive symptoms. However\, results indicate that positive friendship trajectories\, but not negative friendship trajectories\, were associated with better self-rated health. The effects of increasingly positive quality friend relations over time are especially impactful on mental health earlier in the lifespan. People who are younger were more likely to report fewer depressive symptoms two waves later\, if they have increasing friend positive relationship quality. This paper capitalizes on longitudinal data over twenty-five years to begin to identify the complexity of friendships and their effects over time.\n\nCo-authors: Kristine Ajrouch\, Noah Webster and Rita Hu UID:80745-20783437@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80745 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:brown bag LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210122T120638 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210215T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210215T120000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Michigan in Washington Application Deadline-Feb. 15th DESCRIPTION:The Michigan in Washington Program is accepting applications for Fall 2021 and early admission Winter 2022.

We have established experimental systems in budding yeast\, zebrafish embryos\, and mammalian tissue culture cells to explore transcription and splicing regulation in a variety of biological contexts and with a diversity of tools\, from imaging to genome-wide approaches. Our observations have provided novel insights into transcription and splicing mechanisms as well as principles of cellular organization that facilitate efficient gene expression. In this talk\, I will be discussing rapid co-transcriptional splicing during erythropoiesis and how Cajal bodies assemble to ensure a steady supply of spliceosomal components.

Wild\, Native\, or Pure: Trout as Genetic Bodies DESCRIPTION:Advances in genetics and genomics have raised new questions in trout restoration and management\, specifically about species identity and purity\, which fish to value\, and where these fish belong. We examine how this molecular turn in fisheries management is influencing wild and native trout policy in Colorado. Examples from two small Colorado watersheds illustrate how framing trout as genetic bodies can guide managers to care for or kill trout populations in the interest of rectifying decades of genetic disruption caused by human activity. The turn to genetic science is prompting new classifications of lineage and taxa\, altering long-standing conservation priorities\, and reorienting the manipulation of biological processes such as reproduction and dispersal. As a result\, other social and ecological factors may be pushed to the margins of management decisions. These changes warrant greater conversation about the consequences of molecular analyses and the values embedded in trout science and conservation more broadly.\n\nDavid Havlick is Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. His research on militarized landscapes\, restoration geographies\, conservation\, and public lands has been supported by the National Science Foundation\, American Geographic Society\, and US Forest Service. He has published in journals including Science\, The Geographical Review\, Environmental Ethics\, Progress in Physical Geography\, Forestry\, and Science\, Technology and Human Values. His book\, Bombs Away: Militarization\, Conservation\, and Ecological Restoration (University of Chicago Press\, 2018)\, won the 2019 JB Jackson Prize from the American Association of Geographers. He is also the author of No Place Distant: Roads and Motorized Recreation on America’s Public Lands (Island Press\, 2002)\; and co-edited (with Marion Hourdequin) Restoring Layered Landscapes: History\, Ecology\, and Culture (Oxford\, 2016).

At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Previous studies have found that social housing has an attenuating effect on the motivation to self-administer methamphetamine (METH) in female rats. Interestingly\, females tend to benefit from having a cage mate while male rats do not. In order to understand how social behavior could be attenuating METH-taking behavior\, the quality of the relationships between cage mates is being investigated to look at potential causes of this sex difference.

They will read selections of their poems and translations\, including their recent collaboration: Huynh’s French translation Alkalay-Gut’s collection of Holocaust poetry\, Surviving Her Story/Survivre à son histoire. \n\nKaren Alkalay-Gut was born in London on the last night of the V-1 flying bomb attacks and grew up in Rochester\, New York\, completing a PhD in 1975 at the University of Rochester. Since 1972 she has lived in Israel\, raising a family\, and is retired from teaching poetry at Tel Aviv University. She was the founding chair of the Israel Association of Writers in English\, a position she held until 2014 and resumed in 2018. She was Vice Chair of the former Federation of Writers Unions in Israel and is currently a board member of the Yiddish Writers Association. She has written poetry for the cabaret ensemble Panic Ensemble\, as well as wide-ranging essays and scholarly articles. Her poetry publications include the recent collections A Word in Edgewise (English)\, Derakhim le-ehov (Ways to Love\, Hebrew)\, and Yerusha (Inheritance\, Yiddish/Hebrew). \n\nSabine Huynh is a poet\, translator and editor based in Tel Aviv. She holds a PhD in Linguistics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and is the author of a dozen books (poetry\, novel\, short stories\, essay\, diary)\, and numerous translations (from the French\, Hebrew and English). Her poetry collections include Kvar lo\, which won France’s 2017 CoPo Poetry Prize\, and Dans le tournant/Into the Turning\, a bilingual English-French book co-authored with Amy Hollowell. Her first novel\, La Mer et l’enfant\, was shortlisted for the 2014 Emmanuel-Roblès Prize and for the 2013 Chambery’s First Novel Festival Prize. With Haggai Linik\, she is the founding editor of the French-Hebrew literary translation magazine Peham. Her latest poetry collection Parler peau (« to speak skin ») was illustrated by Philippe Agostini and published last year by Æncrages & Co. Her French translation of the complete poetry of Anne Sexton is due out in 2021 with the feminist publishing house Editions des Femmes.\nHuynh Photo Credit: Miriam Alster\n\n\nZoom Registration Link: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/1216070911601/WN_IsQh-wJARNmcGBeqKf60Qg UID:79710-20460250@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79710 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Jewish Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210113T112440 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T130000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Prototype Nation: China and the Contested Promise of Innovation DESCRIPTION:How did China’s mass manufacturing and “copycat” production become transformed\, in the global tech imagination\, from something holding the nation back to one of its key assets? This talk\, based on Professor Lindtner’s most recent publication \"Prototype Nation\" (Princeton University Press\, 2020)\, offers a rich transnational analysis of how the promise of democratized innovation and entrepreneurial life has shaped China’s governance and global image. With historical precision and ethnographic detail\, Professor Lindtner reveals how a growing distrust in Western models of progress and development\, including Silicon Valley and the tech industry after the financial crisis of 2007–08\, shaped the rise of the global maker movement and the vision of China as a “new frontier” of innovation.\n \n Silvia Lindtner is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan in the School of Information. She researches\, writes and teaches about DIY (do-it-yourself) maker culture\, with a particular focus on its intersections with manufacturing and industry development in China. Drawing on her background in interaction design and media studies\, she merges ethnographic methods with approaches in design and making. This allows her to provide deep insights into emerging cultures of technology production and use\, from a sociological and technological perspective.\n \n Together with Anna Greenspan (NYU SH) and David Li (XinCheJian)\, Silvia Lindtner is also the co-founder of the Research Initiative Hacked Matter. Hacked Matter. It has\, since its inception in 2011\, organized a series of workshops\, lectures\, public panel discussions as well as hands-on engagements with questions of DIY making\, manufacturing\, and innovation ecosystems.\n\nZoom webinar\; attendance requires registration: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wJ0Z2eYHQ6GWAu1oqDbkeA UID:80370-20711698@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80370 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Business,Chinese Studies,Information And Technology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210112T132313 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Visualizing Membrane Mechanics: From Nuclear Envelope Integrity to Photon Harvesting-Department of Biological Chemistry Seminar DESCRIPTION:Dr. Adam Frost\, UCSF\, will deliver a virtual seminar on Tuesday February 16th\, 2021 UID:80648-20769620@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80648 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,biolgical chemistry,biological,biological chemistry,biological science,biology,Biosciences LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210303T123109 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:A-LIGN Virtual Internship Program: A Closer Look DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in learning more about how A-LIGNs virtual internship program and how A-LIGNs internship program will develop you into an IT\, cybersecurity and audit professional?\n\nJoin us for this event to learn all about A-LIGNs virtual internship program starting Summer 2021!\n\nDuring this session we will discuss the following elements of the internship program:\n\n- Professional Development\n- Networking\n- Keys to Success\n- Qualifications\n- Internship Timeline and Deliverables\n- Characteristics of a Successful Intern\n- Intern Performance Evaluation\n- Schedule (Start Date\, End Date\, Hours)\n- Live Q&A\n\nDon't miss out on this opportunity to get your virtual internship questions answered by our Training and Development leaders and Talent Acquisition professionals.\n\nWe can't wait to meet you virtually - see you there!\n\nREGISTER HERE: https://a-lign.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bHOLI4MZTravCyvr9m8s6w UID:81599-20929553@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81599 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210211T154239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210216T143000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Digital Scholarship 101: Understanding Accessibility for Projects DESCRIPTION:You’ve heard about “accessibility\,” but do you know what it means for your project?

Re-Engaging with Abd al-Rahman Jami: An Intellectual History Project DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\; please register at https://myumi.ch/qg71e\n\n This talk is about re-engaging with a project about Jami (1414-1492) and his intellectual mission in Timurid Herat. The original project was completed almost a decade and a half ago in my dissertation. The aim of this talk is to think about how to develop a framework to re-engage with Jami’s intellectual mission. The earlier project had two major shortcomings as a study of intellectual history. First\, it did not pay attention to poetry sufficiently. Second\, it achieved little to contextualize Jami in the intellectual traditions he was connected with. I would like to reflect on the ways in which one can deal with and incorporate these three issues from an intellectual point of view.\n In both poetry and scholarly writings\, the challenge seems to be showing how i) Jami is connected to other people/thoughts/ways of expression — contemporaneous with Jami or earlier\; ii) the meaning of these connections\, and in general Jami’s poetry within the socio-political context of his time.\n In my historical contextualization\, the starting point will be identifying i) the general characteristics of individual Timurid rulers (e.g. the rationality of Sultan-Abu Said)\; or ii) periods within the reign of a particular ruler if he has reigned relatively long (e.g. experimentation and consolidation periods of Sultan-Husayn Bayqara). Along with an attempt at developing a framework to reevaluate Jami from an intellectual point of view\, another major aim of this talk is to ask for help/advice about possible strategies to do that.

After drafting a novel for her senior honors thesis\, Allison went on to pitch\, sell\, and publish that thesis as her debut novel: A Tip for the Hangman (Doubleday\, Feb. 2021). Hangman is a historical thriller that follows the life of the 16th-century poet Christopher Marlowe and his secret career in service of Queen Elizabeth I's spymaster. (Her agent refers to the novel as \"the Dirtbag Kit Marlowe book\,\" a tagline Allison endorses.)\n \nAllison will share the inspiration and historical context behind her novel\, along with a behind-the-scenes look into the world of literary publishing. From the ins and outs of historical research to the white whale of signing with a literary agent\, she'll explain the lesser-known aspects of how a book makes it to print. She'll also answer any questions you care to ask about Early Modern spies\, a subject she delights in.\n \n\nAllison Epstein is a historical fiction author based in Chicago. By day\, she works as a marketing copywriter for a firm serving higher education and not-for-profit institutions. She earned her B.A. in English and creative writing from the University of Michigan in 2014 and her MFA in fiction from Northwestern University in 2020. When not writing\, she enjoys good theater and terrible puns.

This technological tension has recently shaken the sport of running in the form of shoe advances\, but many other sports have experienced and managed these same strains\, including swimming\, cycling\, tennis\, speed skating\, and many more. This seminar will explore how technological developments within a sport\, and the associated performance advantages they afford\, impact that sport sociologically. This panel will bring perspectives related to product availability and athlete sponsorship ties\, cultural perception and understanding of performance\, and developmental implications across myriad levels of sport (e.g.\, youth\, Olympic\, masters). This discussion will aim to inform our understanding of what is to be gained\, what might be lost\, and what can be managed as sport evolves with technological developments.

It explores themes of alternative histories\, archives\, Black identity\, collective memory\, storytelling\; meshing performance and performativity\, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the world. An undercurrent of movement explored in multiple variations thread the works together\, realized through a variety of methods including painterly gesture\, repetitive mark-making\, performance with an audience or without\, spoken word\, ambient sound\, and reimagined instruments. The exhibition aspires to pull at the loosened threads of a social fabric in crisis\, revealing larger complex histories and art discourses\, nationally and internationally\, framed through the experiences and trajectories of Stamps alumni during their time in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.

Electrified aircraft propulsion is a novel technology that has the potential to significantly reduce\, and even fully eliminate fuel consumption and aircraft emissions while allowing for more affordable and quieter flights. Electrification enables diverse propulsion architectures and fundamentally changes the relationship between the propulsion system and the airframe\, creating a very rich and complex aircraft design space with many exciting opportunities. However\, it also poses significant challenges due to technological bottlenecks\, lack of historical data\, and high levels of uncertainty. Thus\, potential environmental benefits can be easily diminished by suboptimal propulsion solutions.\n\nIn this talk\, I will address the diverse design space and the importance of performing architectural and operational trade studies in the early aircraft design stages. I will present a methodology to perform the sizing\, integration\, and performance evaluation of electrified aircraft. I will explore advanced design methods and surrogate modeling techniques to enable rapid evaluation of hundreds of sized and optimized designs. Finally\, I will outline some strategic areas for future research to maximize the environmental benefits of novel aircraft concepts.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Gökçin Çınar works as a Research Engineer at the Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory at Georgia Institute of Technology. Her main research interests include electrified aircraft and propulsion\, systems design and integration\, model-based engineering\, and advanced design methods. She is currently working on a range of government and industry funded research projects on novel aircraft technologies for greener aviation.\n\nDr. Çınar received her B.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering from Middle East Technical University and her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. She serves as the Publications and Policy Chair of the AIAA Electrified Aircraft Technical Committee. She is also serving as the Technical Program Co-Chair for the 2021 AIAA/IEEE Electric Aircraft Technologies Symposium.

This webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered the joining information will be sent to your email.\n\nRegister at:\nhttps://myumi.ch/r895z\n\nCapacity in violence is generally understood to be key condition of the state-building process. As capacity is achieved and a state gains supremacy over would-be competitors\, the use of violence by the state is hypothesized to “wither-away\,” especially in states that have made it into the democratic camp. However\, my work demonstrates\, theoretically and empirically\, that conventional wisdom is inadequate\, and that rather than withering away\, political violence evolves according to the changing socio-political environment and varying tasks of the state.\n\nUsing principally cases stemming from South Korea\, a high capacity\, consolidated democracy as a lens for theory building and corroboration\, my publications (and co-authored book project) chronicle the evolution of political violence\, from the state`s mobilization of thugs to suppress opposition at the early stages of the state-building process\, through its collaboration with violence specialists for developmental projects\, to the manipulation of quasi-governmental organizations after democratization in the late 1980s. My research (and the topic of this discussion) looks at how political development\, i.e. democratization\, has produced new demands for—and constraints on—political violence and how post-authoritarian governments have responded.\n\nJonson N. Porteux received his PhD from the University of Michigan (Political Science) in 2013\, with a focus on comparative politics and international relations\, and a regional emphasis on East Asia. He publishes most extensively on the economic and political causes and consequences of violence and democratization. Most recently his work has been featured in Democratization and the Journal of East Asian Studies.

The 21-string kora (Senegambia)\, the conical-shaped drum djembe (Senegal )\, the talking drums atumpan (Ghana)\, and the hour-glass shaped dundun (Nigeria) and others garner particular appeal and interest among organologists.  The Stearns Collection contains specimens of each of these instruments.  \n\nThis lecture focuses on the musical instruments commonly used by ethnic groups in northern Liberia and Southern Sierra Leone\, namely\, the Mende\, Gola\, Dei\, and Vai.  The data used in this presentation draws on more than 40 years of research among the Vai people of Liberia\, highlighting the role of musical instruments in numerous cultural contexts\, including their vital importance in masquerade performance\, recreational dance\, and the enactment of rituals and ceremonies of two pan-ethnic secret societies: Poro (Ɓɛli) for men and Sande (Bundu) for women.\n\nWatch at http://myumi.ch/yK51W\n\nDuring each webinar\, attendees may submit written questions which may be discussed in the Q&A period following the presentation.

At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

As a result of its minimal side-effect profile\, sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is currently the safest and most commonly performed bariatric surgery in the United States. Moreover\, this procedure is associated with changes in gut metabolites. In previous work\, we discovered that the host-produced compound cholic acid-7-sulfate (CA7S) is a gut-restricted TGR5 agonist with anti-diabetic properties and that this metabolite is elevated following SG. In new studies\, we have elucidated a microbiome-dependent pathway by which SG increases CA7S production. We found that a microbial metabolite\, lithocholic acid (LCA)\, is increased in murine portal veins post-SG and by activating the vitamin D receptor\, induces hepatic sulfotransferase expression to drive CA7S production. An SG-induced shift in the microbiome increases expression of the bile acid transporters Asbt and Ostα in the distal ileum\, a change that in turn facilitates selective transport of LCA across the gut epithelium. Cecal microbiota transplant from SG animals is sufficient to recreate the pathway in germ-free (GF) animals. Activation of this gut-liver pathway leads to CA7S synthesis and GLP-1 secretion\, for the first time causally connecting a microbial metabolite with the improvement of diabetic phenotypes following bariatric surgery. This study provides evidence that the microbiome\, and specifically\, the microbial metabolite LCA\, affects host metabolism\, illustrating the importance of studying metabolite transport and signaling in the enterohepatic axis.\n\nZoom Meeting: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99830183560 UID:82101-21036675@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82101 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Drug Discovery,Life Science,Pre Med,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210127T092026 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210217T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210217T110000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Free Coffee and Donuts on North Campus!

We test this pathway among groups of various positions within the US racial hierarchy and find support for the proposed model.\n\nWilson\n\nTitle:\nA First Look at Infectious Disease Concealment\n\nAbstract:\nIn March\, 2020 a man hid his COVID-19 symptoms so that he could visit his wife and newborn child in the maternity ward of a Rochester\, New York hospital. In addition to putting everyone in the hospital at risk of infection\, his deception actually caused his wife to fall ill with the virus less than a week after giving birth. What psychological processes explain this kind of concealment behavior? Drawing on insights from the behavioral immune system and literature on concealable stigmatized identity\, I will discuss the prevalence of disease concealment and its unique social costs and benefits. In our first two studies (N = 367)\, we find that a large majority of college students and adults freely report times when they concealed infectious disease in social situations\, and that decisions to conceal depend on the audience they would be concealing from. In our next two studies (N = 307)\, we find that people report being less likely to conceal an illness when there is a higher risk of transmitting that illness to others\, and when the symptoms they would pass along could be particularly debilitating. Together\, these four studies set the foundation for further inquiry into mechanisms underlying infectious disease concealment UID:81899-20988903@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81899 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:brown bag LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210625T095512 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210217T121500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210217T124500 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:(VIRTUAL): CEW+Inspire Midweek Mindfulness-Guided Sits DESCRIPTION:As part of the CEW+Inspire initiative\, CEW+ holds mindful meditation sits virtually on Wednesdays at 12:15.\n\nBeing present in the moment is a skill that can be learned when practiced on a regular basis and is especially important during these trying times. Psychological stress can damper your overall health\, affecting your ability to remain resilient in the face of challenges. Evidence-based meditation has been shown to also reduce implicit age and race bias\, reduce the symptoms of anxiety\, depression\, and pain\, improve cognitive functioning\, and assist in ending ruminating thought patterns.\n\nFree and open to all levels of practice.\n\nAfter registering\, please check your email confirmation for the Zoom link!\n\nClick here to RSVP and receive the Zoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUtcumtpzIoHNdRoCz-lPKz9X7fb-Jp844o UID:64874-20517535@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64874 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for the education of women,first-generation,Free,Health & Wellness,Inclusion,Mindfulness,Nontraditional Students,Prospective Graduate Students,Prospective Undergraduate Students,Self-care,Undergraduate,Undergraduate Students,Well-being,Wellness,women of color,women's health,Work-life Balance LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T181625 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210217T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210217T133000 SUMMARY:Other:Cold Weather\, Hot Takes: Cooking Through the Pandemic  with David Tamarkin\, Digital Director of Epicurious DESCRIPTION:egister.\n \nFor many\, the Covid-19 pandemic has meant getting deeply reacquainted with our kitchens and  pushing the limits of home cooking creativity. David Tamarkin\, Digital Director of Epicurious and author of Cook90: The 30-Day Plan for Faster\, Healthier\, Happier Meals\, is an outspoken champion of home cooking and launched \"Cooking Through It\" on Epi as a response to the pandemic.

As human beings and engineers\, we must decide how we want to respond to what happened and how we want to move forward. Calls to improve our approach to diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) have coincided with the call to update our overall engineering curriculum. Over the years\, several initiatives have been launched to address such issues\, which primarily attempt to address perceived inadequacies in underrepresented students. However\, scarce efforts have been developed to address the engineering culture that has limited the full participation of women and people of color in engineering. Furthermore\, few of us in engineering have the knowledge\, skills\, or ability to productively engage with issues leading to the marginalization and social unrest. Rarely do we dare to apply our problem-solving or critical thinking approaches to how to educate or improving DEI. As a result\, the goal of this talk is to provide engineers with language to have an honest conversation about our individual and collective response to the inequity in engineering and realign our actions to improve engineering education. This impactful workshop will provide definitions and practical examples of key DEI concepts in engineering based on holistic interdisciplinary research.

Individuals and families from around the world are fleeing from war\, poverty\, and oppression. Attempts to enter our country have been met with physical and regulatory obstruction\, all in conflict with values many of us hold dear. Refugees and asylum seekers\, who are often invisible to those in power\, must rely on others to plead their collective cases to Congress.\n\nA group of Ann Arborites have decided to take action to address this injustice. The Washtenaw Refugee Coalition is a new interfaith group of passionate and dedicated individuals who are learning how to advocate on behalf of refugees and asylum seekers. You will be fascinated to hear the story of the group’s founding\, the training they have received\, and actions they have been taking. You may even find their cause to be one you want to embrace.\n\nPresenter Beth Wilensky is the founder and leader of the Washtenaw Refugee Coalition. She has served on the Board of Jewish Family Services (a local organization providing services to refugees)\, and is a Clinical Professor of Law in the Legal Practice Program at the University of Michigan.\n\nPreregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone.

Despite decades of efforts in studying its internal structure\, there are still a number of puzzles surrounding the proton such as its spin and the charge radius. The proton charge radius puzzle developed more than 10 ten years ago refers to a discrepancy of 5-7 standard deviations between the ultrahigh precise values of the proton charge radius determined from muonic hydrogen Lamb shift measurements and the CODATA values compiled from electron-proton scattering experiments and ordinary hydrogen spectroscopy measurements. In this talk following a short introduction\, I will focus on the proton charge radius puzzle\, the latest experimental results\, especially those from the PRad experiment at Jefferson Lab\, and the future outlook with the PRad-II experiment.\n UID:81714-20945432@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81714 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210216T082754 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210217T173000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Donia Human Rights Center Lecture.

Not sure which major or minor is the best fit for you? Getting pressure from family and friends to declare a major?\n\nChoosing a major can seem like a challenging process. But you have time and you don’t have to do it alone. LSA advisors are here to help you focus your efforts to find the right academic path. \n\nAttend an upcoming Choosing a Major workshop to learn more about how to navigate this process. Workshops will include group discussions and reflective questions to help you identify your interests\, strengths\, values\, and goals\, as well as an overview of campus resources to help you create an action plan.\n\nThen attend the 2021 Major/Minor Expo on March 1 and 5 to explore the 70+ majors and 100+ minors LSA and other UM programs have to offer by talking with advisors\, faculty\, and current students.

(with David Argente\, Doireann Fitzgerald\, and Anthony Priolo) DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nFirms are born small\, grow\, and die. We investigate an explanation for this process based on frictions in the accumulation of customers\, across and within markets segmented by geography. We use matched retail scanner and TV advertising data on consumer food to show that entrants grow both by adding customers in new markets and by reaching new customers in continuing markets. Growth in market share within markets is not associated with changes in markups\, but is associated with advertising. We use these facts to motivate and estimate a structural model of customer accumulation within and across markets. This allows us to estimate both the distribution of intrinsic heterogeneity across firms\, and frictions in the accumulation of customers. We find that these frictions contribute substantially to heterogeneity in firm size\, and to the gradual process of firm growth.\n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:81274-20879911@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81274 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210304T123120 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210217T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Prep Session: Michigan Teacher & Education Fair DESCRIPTION:The Michigan Teacher Recruitment Fair is March 16th and 17th.

Despite growing appreciation for the importance of 3D genome folding in evolution and disease\, we lack models for relating mutations in genome sequences to changes in genome structure and function. Towards that goal\, we discovered that the organization of gene regulatory domains within chromosomes and the specific sequences that sit at boundaries between domains are under strong negative selection in the human population and over primate evolution. Motivated by this signature of functional importance\, we developed a deep convolutional neural network\, called Akita\, that accurately predicts genome folding from DNA sequence alone. Representations learned by Akita underscore the importance of the structural protein CTCF but also reveal a complex grammar beyond CTCF binding sites that underlies genome folding. Akita enabled rapid in silico predictions for effects of sequence mutagenesis on the 3D genome\, including differences in genome folding across species and in disease cohorts\, which we are validating with CRISPR-edited genomes. This prediction-first strategy exemplifies my vision for a more proactive\, rather than reactive\, role for data science in biomedical research.\n\nhttps://umich-health.zoom.us/j/93929606089?pwd=SHh6R1FOQm8xMThRemdxTEFMWWpVdz09\n\nShort bio: Dr. Katherine S.

At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

After registration\, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to join the webinar.\n\nFor full details and schedule\, please visit: https://ii.umich.edu/armenian/news-events/all-events/workshops/february-2021--from-empire-to-nation-state--the-ottoman-armistic.html\n \n The First World War came to an end for the Ottoman Empire when the Armistice of Mudros was signed on October 30\, 1918. While the Ottoman government formed by the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) embarked upon a series of armed and political campaigns to save the Empire from collapse\, Ottoman minorities such as Armenians\, Greeks\, Assyrians\, and Arabs suffered from genocide and famine. It is well documented that the demographic engineering policies of CUP resulted in a significant decrease of Armenian\, Greek and Assyrian communities in Anatolia\, and a famine in Arab provinces of the empire killed thousands. Even though the wartime was equal to a “cataclysm” for Ottoman “minorities”\, the beginning of the Armistice years remarked a new start\, an opportunity for revival and rebirth. While the Armenian community leadership was organizing relief activities to save genocide survivors who were scattered throughout the\n \n Empire\, they envisioned the establishment of a “United Armenia” with the support of the Allied Powers. Anatolian Romioi (Orthodox Greeks)\, Arabs\, and Kurds\, in a similar fashion\, were motivated to declare independence to map their nation-states during a time when the world was living what has been referred to as the “Wilsonian moment.” This workshop will revisit and re-explore the Ottoman Armistice and the transition from empire to ethno-nation-state from hitherto neglected perspectives of Ottoman “minorities” through the lens of history\, literature\, and political science disciplines.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

The shielding of GCRs by astrospheres is a fundamental\, open question whose answer is critical to assessing the habitability of exoplanets. But even before we study the shielding properties of other astrospheres to ascertain habitability\, we must understand why the only known astrosphere that harbors life\, Earth’s Sun’s heliosphere\, does so. Space science is at a pivotal point in generating new understandings of the heliosphere due to the flood of new in situ data from the Voyager 1 (V1)\, Voyager 2 (V2)\, and New Horizon spacecraft\, combined with the energetic neutral atom (ENA) maps generated by IBEX and Cassini. To date\, our best large-scale computer models fail to reproduce critical observations\, such as the size of the heliosphere\, the plasma speeds and directions\, and the width of the heliosheath.\n\nHeliospheric observations indicate that processes such as turbulence\, reconnection\, wave-particle interactions and thermal conduction play a crucial role in the outer layers of the solar system\; however\, these processes have not yet been included in current global models. Observations by Voyager indicate that suprathermal particles\, such as pickup ions (PUIs\, ionized particles formed from the interaction of the ionized solar wind with the neutral interstellar H atoms)\, carry most of the plasma pressure in outer layers of the solar system. How these suprathermal populations evolve in response to kinetic effects\, such as turbulence\, reconnection and acceleration\, is poorly understood\, but given their energy contribution they significantly impact global scales. Other remaining puzzles are: 1) The acceleration region and mechanism for anomalous cosmic rays (ACRs)\; the two Voyager spacecraft found no evidence of acceleration of high-energy ACRs at the termination shock (TS) but instead detected their increase of the ACRs as they moved across the heliosheath (HS). 2) The HS 30-50% thinner than current models predict 3) The magnetic field direction doesn’t change at the HP and we don’t know how far from the HP does the solar wind influence extend 4) The significant increase in Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) just prior to the HP crossings by both V1 and V2\, and the unusual anisotropies observed in the LISM are not understood.\n\nIn this talk I will review some of the puzzles and advances being made in understanding some of the fundamental features of the heliosphere as well as the efforts being made in that regard by the SHIELD DRIVE Science Center (http://sites.bu.edu/shield-drive/). These aspects include the basic “shape” of the heliosphere\, the extent of its tail\, the nature of the heliosheath\, and the structure of the local interstellar medium (LISM) just upstream of the heliopause (HP).\n\nPlease join us!

However\, native MS can be challenging for smaller and more fragile membrane protein and transmembrane peptide complexes. To address this challenge\, we have used native MS to study small viral membrane protein complexes in both detergent micelles and lipid nanodiscs. Using charge reduction reagents for stabilization and advanced data analysis techniques to unravel complex spectra\, we discovered that viroporin complexes can be highly sensitive to their environment\, showing different oligomeric states in different lipids/detergents\, with different pH conditions\, and with addition of antiviral drugs. Unexpected oligomeric states have been observed that do not match existing structural models\, highlighting previously unseen behavior of these complexes. We have also studied assembly of antimicrobial peptide complexes in lipid nanodiscs. Antimicrobial peptides are also highly sensitive to the lipid environment\, showing unique assembly pathways that are controlled by the thickness of the lipid bilayer. Ultimately\, we expect these applications of native MS will reveal new insights into the biology of infectious disease and provide new directions for antiviral and antibacterial drug discovery. \nMichael Marty (University of Arizona) UID:78487-20052306@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78487 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210213T200417 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210218T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210218T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME 500 Seminar: Adam Glaser DESCRIPTION:Seminar Abstract:\n\nNew developments in microscopy\, tissue clearing\, and fluorescent labeling are enabling unprecedented access to the structural and molecular contents of biological tissues.

In this talk\, I discuss lessons learned from three audience research projects I’ve conducted since my time as a graduate student at the University of Michigan. These projects include: Struggling for Ordinary: Media and Transgender Belonging in Everyday Life\, Purple States: Young\, Queer\, and Connected in Uncertain Times\, and COVID Connections: Media and Everyday Life During a Global Pandemic. For each project\, I discuss two findings from my research and share thoughts on the practice of conducting qualitative media inquiry. \n \nSmashing Trump's Star\nAndrea McDonnell\, Associate Professor of Communication & Media Studies at Emmanuel College\n\nLecture Abstract: Tourist sites dedicated to celebrity life and history provide visitors with an opportunity to engage with and celebrate famous figures who intrigue and inspire. But what happens when visitors use star sites not to revere\, but to resist? When shared on social media\, can personal gestures of defiance be transformed into political dialogue? Recent activity at Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame suggests that engagement with tourist sites\, however personal or ephemeral\, can function as a mode of political resistance\, one that demonstrates the fluidity of the celebrity sign and the public’s ability to exert agency over its meaning in our contemporary media landscape.

Specifically\, it will discuss the development of ideas about the human body\, population\, and disease that appeared in Iberian-Atlantic slave markets during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The practices undergirding the development of the slave trade as a technological\, bureaucratic\, economic\, legal\, and intellectual enterprise went hand in hand with the appearance of new notions about risk\, disease\, nosology\, and population health that would become normative in subsequent decades. In analyzing the invisibility of both this history and the archives of the slave trade in traditional HSMT narratives\, this lecture will also examine the role that ideas about knowledge (and what constitutes knowledge) have had in shaping fundamental and exclusionary tenets in the histories of science and Medicine in Euro America.\n\nPablo F. Gómez is associate professor in the Department of Medical History and Bioethics\, and the Department of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He works on histories of knowledge-making\, race\, and health and corporeality with a particular focus on Latin America\, the Caribbean\, and more largely the African Diaspora. His book The Experiential Caribbean Creating Knowledge and Healing in the Early Modern Atlantic\, won the William H. Welch medal in medical history\, the Albert J. Raboteau Book Prize in Africana religion\, and Honorable Mention for the Bolton-Johnson Book Prize in Latin American history.\n\nFree and open to the public.

Cook on diversity and innovation DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion between Lisa D. Cook and Betsey Stevenson on economics\, development\, diversity\, and innovation. Professor Cook's research on innovation and diversity has shown that while both women and underrepresented minorities have earned an increasing share of bachelor’s degrees and advanced degrees in fields most associated with invention\, patent activity for these groups has not increased. What does this disparity reveal about our economy and how can we close the gap? What policies might be put in place to help encourage innovation among underrepresented groups?

As a member of Dr. Krishna Garikipati’s Computational Physics group\, I am currently working on data driven modelling and am collaborating with several groups on applying these graph theoretic approaches to various systems of interest.\n\n\"GRAPH THEORETIC APPROACHES FOR PHYSICAL SYSTEMS\": Numerical analyses of physical systems are conventionally performed using direct numerical simulations\, that have proven highly successful\, yielding high fidelity solutions to very high dimensional problems\, such as boundary value problems with upwards of tens of millions of degrees of freedom. However\, there is always a balance to be met between the desire for higher accuracy and additional physics to be modeled\, and the complexity\, interpret-ability and ease of representation of such solutions. To aid in this dilemma\, I will be introducing a novel graph theoretic approach\, allowing for lower dimensional\, reduced order models to be produced\, given small amounts of high fidelity data. In this talk I will explain how such an approach allows for an intuitive representation of the states of a systems\, and how it is possible to use a non-local calculus\, allowing for rigorous operators and equations to be defined on the graph. I will then be discussing some implementation details\, and convey the generality\, validity\, and future applications of this framework through some example results from collaborations.\n\nYI ZHU: Yi is a 3rd year PhD candidate in Civil and Environmental Engineering & Scientific Computation. His research focuses on simulation\, design\, and fabrication of active origami systems for engineering devices\, and is particularly focused on micro-scale shape morphing systems inspired by origami.\n\n\"SIMULATION AND DESIGN OF MICRO-ORIGAMI SYSTEMS\": In this talk\, we will introduce some recent advancement in the simulation and the design of micro-origami systems. We will discuss the micro-origami structures we fabricated and the rapid simulation framework we developed to capture the behaviors of these active origami. We will focus on the simulation framework and demonstrate how we can capture the thermo-mechanically coupled folding behavior and contacts between origami panels effectively and rapidly. Finally\, we will introduce some ongoing work on extracting origami design principle with interpretable machine learning\, which demonstrates how we can use the simulation framework to create better origami design.\n\nRegister: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwrdeurpz4vEtUPKlRzUo1tQy3mskgineol UID:81278-20879917@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81278 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:data,Research LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Register to receive Zoom login information CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210305T123119 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210218T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210218T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Research Assistant Fellowship program Info session DESCRIPTION:The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is hosting a information session to speak out our upcoming Research Assistant Fellowship program.

Prison-Industrial Complexity: On Carceral Material Worlds & Ethical Aporias in Ecuador DESCRIPTION:Virtual Event. Register at http://myumi.ch/R5D0Q\n\nChris Garces is Research Professor at Universidad San Francisco de Quito\, and a Visiting Invited Professor in the Law School at Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar\, Ecuador. His ethnographic interests range from the study of politics and religion—or contemporary political theologies–to the Western outgrowth of penal state politics\, and counter-histories of Catholic ethics in Latin America. His co-edited volume\, *Carceral Communities in Latin America: Troubling Prison Worlds in the 21st Century *(Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penality)\, will be published in February 2021.\n \nEverywhere it seems\, democracy has been freighted with the psychic weight of punitive infrastructure. Symptomatically\, for most citizens\, a world without prisons is impossible even to imagine. But consider the flip side of this most curious problem: uncomfortable or intrusive memories—that in the name of enforcing justice and democratic order\, living human beings are being held in cages—publicly forgotten almost as soon as they are remembered. The prison is a machine for disappearing humans and remaking worlds. Carcerality as such boxes the prisoner into what might be called ethical aporias\, unrelenting state-imposed sacrifice and civil disregard\, or an experimental process of human disposal which nevertheless demands increasingly accelerated flows of exchange between free citizens and dehumanized offenders. In this talk\, I explore how even the most modest of prison technologies participate in penal infrastructure’s human unmaking and world-remaking processes. Taking into account Ecuador’s 20th century material history of a humble water spigot in a municipal prison\, I demonstrate the perverse tenacity of carceral relations and how penality itself—the state-sponsored ritual reproduction of punishment across the prison-neighborhood nexus—involves continuous\, albeit disavowed human experimentation on diverse citizen-subjects.\n \nLecture presented in conjunction with HIST197: Journeys & Stories\n\nFREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.\n\nCo-sponsors: Department of History\, Prison Creative Arts Project\, and The Quito Project\n---\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

The site offered a rare opportunity in that respect because it had shrunk to a fraction of its original size before the great monumentalization phase. Thus\, Mid-Republican\, archaic\, and Iron Age remains lie directly under the surface. Thanks to the open-area excavation of over two acres of the ancient city\, important information about the long and complex formation process of central Italian urbanization has been acquired. \n\nThe Gabii Project aims to redefine the concept of \"big dig\" for the 21st century. In this sense\, it conceptualized the big dig as a logistical platform that makes it easier for a multiplicity of research agendas to be pursued. Methodological self-analysis and innovation are built into the field and recording practices.

These women were housed in Nazareth Nursing Center in Gyeongju\, which served as a shelter. As spouses from the former colonizing power\, Japanese women in postwar Korea often became targets of both misogynic and ethnic violence and were not afforded social or domestic protection. Nazareth provided a permanent home for these women\, where Kim built close relationships with them to gain enough access to take photographs of their portraits and daily lives. These photographs\, alongside their oral testimonies\, provide material that highlights the overlooked history of Japanese women during and after post-liberation repatriation.\n \n Kim Jongwook is a freelance documentary photographer who was based in Gyeongju since 1987. Kim’s documentary photo project on the Japanese wives of Korean repatriates was featured in BBC (2019) and Hankyoreh Newspaper in Korea (2017). He presented the same project at Hiroshima University (2017) and the Jeonju International Festival in Korea (2014). Kim received his Ph.D from Kyeongju University for his research on this topic. Kim currently operates the Kim Jong Wook Photography Research Institute in Gyeongju.\n\nRegistration is required.

At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Such a testing problem is related to transfer learning and causal inference. We develop a nonparametric procedure by combining recent advances in conformal prediction with some new ingredients such as a novel choice of conformity score and data-driven choices of weight and score functions. To our knowledge\, this is the first successful attempt of using conformal prediction for testing statistical hypotheses beyond exchangeability. Our method is suitable for modern machine learning scenarios where the data has high dimensionality and large sample sizes\, and can be effectively combined with existing classification algorithms to find good weight and score functions. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated in synthetic and real data examples.\n\nhttp://www.stat.cmu.edu/people/faculty/jingle/\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/94350208889\nThere will be a virtual reception to follow UID:80565-20740178@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80565 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210204T110649 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210219T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210219T110000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The Clements Bookworm: \"Framing Identity\" Online Exhibit DESCRIPTION:We live in a world that is influenced by visual imagery. A single photograph can incorporate our joy\, and accomplishments\, as well as our challenges and defeats. As the most photographed person of his time\, Frederick Douglass understood how to utilize photography as a tool for empowered self-representation. His lectures inspired others to participate in creating their own images that captured beauty and resilience within the Black Experience. This Bookworm talk explores photographic examples of Black empowerment from the \"Framing Identity\" online exhibit (clements.umich.edu/framing-identity) through a conversation with the Clements Library’s Joyce Bonk Fellow\, Samantha Hill\, and Graphics Curator Clayton Lewis. They will take a closer look at photography and literature in the Clements’ collections to explore how artists and intellectuals present themselves through the creative process.\n\n*The Clements Bookworm is a webinar series in which panelists discuss history topics. Recommended books\, articles\, and other resources are provided in each session. Inspired by the traditional Clements Library researcher tea time\, we invite you to pull up a chair at our [virtual] table. Live attendees are encouraged to post comments and questions\, respond to polls\, and add to our conversation and camaraderie.*\n\nThis episode was generously sponsored by an anonymous Clements Supporter.

While the Ottoman government formed by the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) embarked upon a series of armed and political campaigns to save the Empire from collapse\, Ottoman minorities such as Armenians\, Greeks\, Assyrians\, and Arabs suffered from genocide and famine. It is well documented that the demographic engineering policies of CUP resulted in a significant decrease of Armenian\, Greek and Assyrian communities in Anatolia\, and a famine in Arab provinces of the empire killed thousands. Even though the wartime was equal to a “cataclysm” for Ottoman “minorities”\, the beginning of the Armistice years remarked a new start\, an opportunity for revival and rebirth. While the Armenian community leadership was organizing relief activities to save genocide survivors who were scattered throughout the Empire\, they envisioned the establishment of a “United Armenia” with the support of the Allied Powers. Anatolian Romioi (Orthodox Greeks)\, Arabs\, and Kurds\, in a similar fashion\, were motivated to declare independence to map their nation-states during a time when the world was living what has been referred to as the “Wilsonian moment.” This workshop will revisit and re-explore the Ottoman Armistice and the transition from empire to ethno-nation-state from hitherto neglected perspectives of Ottoman “minorities” through the lens of history\, literature\, and political science disciplines.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Through four historic African American cemeteries\, this study explores cultural production among African Americans in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Shortly after emancipation\, Jacksonville (a historically Black town)\, gave birth to a vibrant African American aristocracy comprised of businesspeople and other professionals. In the early half of the twentieth century\, Jacksonville’s Black elite provided their community with legal protection\, healthcare\, vocational training\, employment opportunities\, and critical services such as life insurance and burial. Pinehurst\, Mount Olive\, Sunset Memorial\, and Memorial cemeteries were some of the few burial places for Black people living in Jacksonville during the early 1900s. Today\, the local government regards these cemeteries as ‘abandoned and neglected’ spaces. However\, the sites’ material culture and interviews with contemporary African American residents suggests that these burial grounds are important heritage sites for Jacksonville’s African American community. This study finds that commemorative practices are ongoing among twenty-first century African Americans. Additionally\, evidence suggests that the condition of these cemeteries reflects the social\, political\, and economic changes endured by Jacksonville’s African American community.\n\nNEW Webinar link https://umich.zoom.us/j/92431882124?pwd=Vnl4dkRQdThTSW16VnkxYUZ3YkwzQT09\nNEW Passcode 009801 UID:81755-20951376@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81755 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Archaeology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210210T144426 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210219T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210219T130000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Book Talk | Halfway Home: Race\, Punishment\, and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration DESCRIPTION:Each year\, nearly 600\,000 Americans are released from prison and join a population of 20 million people who live with a felony record.\n\nIncarcerated people in the U.S. are met by more than 48\,000 laws\, policies and administrative sanctions upon release\, a supervised society that Reuben Jonathan Miller calls “carceral citizenship.” \n\nJoin Professor Miller as he examines the afterlife of mass incarceration\, attending to how U.S. criminal justice policy has changed the social life and altered the contours of American Democracy one family at a time\, most often impacting poor Black families.

Empires of Vice: The Rise of Opium Prohibition Across Southeast Asia DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\; please register at http://bit.ly/3raW5lZ\n\nDuring the late nineteenth century\, opium was integral to European colonial rule in Southeast Asia. The taxation of opium was a major source of revenue for British and French colonizers\, who also derived moral authority from imposing a tax on a peculiar vice of their non-European subjects. Yet between the 1890s and the 1940s\, colonial states began to ban opium\, upsetting the very foundations of overseas rule—how did this happen? This talk explores the history of this dramatic reversal and colonial legacies that set the stage for the region’s drug problems today.\n \n Diana Kim challenges the conventional wisdom about opium prohibition—that it came about because doctors awoke to the dangers of drug addiction or that it was a response to moral crusaders—uncovering a more complex story deep within the colonial bureaucracy. Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence across Southeast Asia and Europe\, she shows how prohibition as made possible through the pivotal contributions of seemingly weak bureaucratic officials. Comparing British and French experiences across today’s Burma\, Cambodia\, Laos\, Malaysia\, Singapore\, and Vietnam\, Kim explains how the everyday work of local administrators delegitimized the taxing of opium\, which in turn made major anti-opium reforms possible. This talk is based on her book\, *Empires of Vice *(Princeton University Press)\, which reveals more generally the inner life of colonial bureaucracy\, illuminating how European rulers reconfigured their opium-entangled foundations of governance and durably shaped Southeast Asia’s political economy of illicit drugs.\n \n Diana Kim is Assistant Professor in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and a core faculty member of the Asian Studies Program. Her scholarship is animated by concerns with how modern states develop capacity to define people at the edges of respectable society\, constructing what it means to be illicit\, marginal\, and deviant. She received her Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Chicago and formerly held a Postdoctoral Prize Fellowship in Economics\, History\, and Politics at Harvard University and CAORC fellowship with the Center for Khmer Studies. She teaches comparative politics and transnational histories of colonialism and empire in Southeast and East Asia\; and her first book\, *Empires of Vice: The Rise of Opium Prohibition Across Southeast Asia* was published in 2020 by Princeton University Press.\n \n------\nThe following text will be included on all II events unless you indicate otherwise:If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

I will discuss how LD spatial positioning and organization within cells also influences LD function.\n\nSecondly\, I will discuss how sterol-ester lipid phase transitions within LDs can influence the\nLD surface proteome\, ultimately enabling LDs to adapt to specific metabolic cues.\n\nFinally\, I will discuss how inter-organelle contact sites can act as “metabolic platforms” that fine-tune metabolic pathways during nutrient stresses. I will also discuss our work examining how inter-organelle contact sites in yeast play roles in cellular decision-making\nand fate.\n\nHost: Ming Li UID:80069-20550968@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80069 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Science,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210306T063106 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210219T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210219T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Pro Football Hall of Fame \"Before the Snap\" ft.

Yuri Zhukov is an associate professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe 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.

The crustal slabs\, made of the dense eclogite metamorphosed from the Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt\, provide one of the most important driving forces for slab subduction. The basaltic slab crust are also one of the major geochemical heterogeneities in the Earth’s interior. Locating these heterogeneities by comparing the experimentally determined seismic properties of eclogite with ambient mantle helps us to understand the Earth’s chemical evolution over geological time. I will present some of our recent experimental results on eclogite to reveal its seismic visibility in the Earth’s upper mantle. In addition\, compared with the extremely active Earth\, current-day Mars lacks ongoing tectonic activities such as volcanism\, marsquakes with large magnitude (e.g. M>4.0) and mountain building process. We hypothesize that the mantle convection inside Mars can be hindered if the density contrast between Martian crustal slabs and the ambient Martian mantle is sufficiently different from Earth. I will present high pressure-temperature phase equilibrium experiments and calculations of an eclogite metamorphosed from a near-primitive Martian basalt. Our results indicate the crustal slab is less dense than the ambient Martian mantle down to the depth of ~630 km. Sustained subduction on Mars is difficult if the Martian crust is represented by the shergottic basalt. Our result may also help explain the stability of some high volcano edifices (e.g. the Olympus Mons) on Mars.

Trautmann Honorary Lecture | Time\, Memory\, Oblivion: Social Frames and the Production of Collective Pasts DESCRIPTION:Autobiographical memories make individuals who they are but they are anchored in the frame of collective memory. These together that make us who we are. How then are these are made? And how do those processes bear on academic history?\n \nI will argue that collective memory world-wide has been made by how communities recollect pasts in order to shape their presents. The shaping of collective and historical memory must be seen in world-historical context. Analysis reaches out beyond the cloistered world of the formal academy to argue that “history” is but one kind of collective memory .\n\nCollective memory itself is the result of both remembering and forgetting\, of the preservation and the decay of record. These processes work through socio-political organizations that shape collective memory. The two disappear alongside each other.\n\nI will sketch the diverse ways these practices worked before colonial rule came to South Asia. I emphasize that the feebleness of organized power made it possible for many contradictory memories to coexist. The creation of a centralized educational system and the mass production of textbooks began to unify historical discourses under colonial auspices. For the first time\, students and their families were confronted by an authoritative\, unified narrative. That triggered opposition and the development of alternative anti-colonial histories. Finally\, these discourses diverged in the twentieth century under the impact of nationalism and decolonization.\n \nI will gesture therefore toward sources in many languages from different regions to provide an intellectual history of the ways in which socially recognized collective and historical memory has been made across the subcontinent. Most of the lecture will focus on the less studied period before Western imperialism and the imposition of Western modes of thought. I hope thereby to contribute to contemporary debates about historical memory and objective evidence in seemingly ‘post-truth’ world.\n\nSumit Guha\, Frances Higginbotham Nalle Professor in History at the University of Texas at Austin.\n\nBefore his current position\, Sumit Guha has taught at the St. Stephen’s College\, Delhi\, the Indian Institute of Management Kolkata\, Brown University and Rutgers University. He began as an economic historian with interests in demography and agriculture. These widened into the study of environmental and ethnic histories. His first book was *The Agrarian Economy of the Bombay Deccan 1818-1941* (Oxford University Press\, 1985) followed by *Environment and Ethnicity in India\, c. 1200-1991* (Cambridge University Press\, 1999) and *Health and Population in South Asia from earliest times to the present* (Permanent Black\, and Charles Hurst & Co.\, 2001). This was followed by *Beyond Caste: Identity and Power in South Asia\, Past and Present* (E.J. Brill\, 2013). A corrected Indian edition appeared from Permanent Black\, Ranikhet\, 2016.\n\nHis recent book *History and Collective Memory in South Asia\, 1200–2000* was published by the University of Washington Press in October 2019. In Spring 2021\, the Association for Asian Studies will publish his newest work\, *Tribe and State in Asia* through Columbia University Press. \n\nRegistration for this Zoom lecture is required: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIlcuCgqjgvG9Mij4KP5nymLs_cXh4sL5NW\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at csas@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

The optimistic narrative of transition first became impatient with the slowness and hesitancy of the process\, then suffered from the uncertainty of the moving or even vanishing target\, and was finally abandoned by scholars as it became clear that the post-Soviet nation-states were taking shape in some yet unprecedented forms that required unbiased analysis. \n \nThe place of optimistic teleologies has been taken by hindsight-driven narratives portraying the collapse of the Soviet Union as a traumatogenic event and the culture of the succeeding period as trapped in the state of the ‘post-’. In this paper I will take post-socialist theories of cultural trauma as my starting point and test them against a number of case studies\, both musical and more broadly cultural. I will then consider the double-edged nature of the “post-traumatic” narrative which can be utilised by both the supporters and opponents of the current political order in Russia\, and the difficulties this creates for Western observers. \n\n\nMarina Frolova-Walker FBA is Professor of Music History at the Faculty of Music\, University of Cambridge\, Fellow of Clare College\, Cambridge\, and currently Professor of Music at Gresham College\, London.

DESCRIPTION:Penny Stamps Series Facebook page.\n \n“Can You Hear Me?” is a documentary film that follows internationally celebrated Spanish artist Jaume Plensa for a year and a half\, offering audiences an unfiltered look into his artistic process. Directed by Pedro Ballesteros\, the film presents Plensa’s story across seven chapters\, moving between moments from the studio and the production of some of Plensa’s most ambitious public projects\, including the recent large-scale works installed at Rockefeller Center and Hudson Yards in New York. \n \nPlensa is one of the world’s foremost sculptors in the public realm with award-winning projects spanning the globe in such cities as Calgary\, Chicago\, San Diego\, Montréal\, London\, Paris\, Dubai\, Bangkok\, Shanghai\, and Tokyo.  His monumental sculpture Behind the Walls was recently installed outside the front doors of the University of Michigan Museum of Art. \n \nMost well known in the U.S. for his iconic Crown Fountain (2000-2005) at Millenium Park in Chicago\, the artist has spent the last 35 years producing a multifaceted body of sculpture that speaks to the capacity and beauty of humanity\, often bringing people together through the activation of public spaces. Conventional sculptural materials like glass\, steel\, and bronze blend with unconventional media such as water\, light and sound to create hybrid works of intricate energy\, psychological weight\, and symbolic richness.\n \nThe winner of many national and international awards including the Honorary Doctorate from Univeristat Aut’onoma de Barcelona in 2018 and the 2013 Velazquez Prize awarded by the Spanish Cultural Ministry\, Jaume Plensa has had solo museum exhibitions at the MACBA: Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona\, Spain\; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía\, Madrid Spain\; MAMC–Musée d’art moderne et contemporain Saint-Étienne Métropole\, Saint-Étienne\, France\; Max Ernst Museum Brühl des LVR\, Brühl\, Germany\; The Toledo Museum of Art\, Toledo\, Ohio\; Yorkshire Sculpture Park\, Yorkshire\, England\; and Nasher Sculpture Center\, Dallas\, Texas.

Avant Jazz from Poland: Free Improvisations by Mikołaj Trzaska and Macio Moretti DESCRIPTION:The Copernicus Center for Polish Studies presents a concert streamed from Warsaw featuring two of the finest innovative progressive musicians in Poland\, which has become one of the most important centers of jazz in Europe. This concert was organized to illustrate the lecture by Maciej Lewenstein on “Free Improvisation and Jazz Avant-Garde in Poland: From Tomasz Stańko to Mikołaj Trzaska\,” that will be broadcast on Thursday\, February 18\, 2021 at 12 PM. Trzaska first performed in Ann Arbor in 2010 in a duet with the magnificent trombonist Steve Swell at the Kerrytown Concert House\, and returned in 2013 as the leader of Shofar\, a trio that reinvents traditional Jewish music though free improvisation.\n \nMikołaj Trzaska—saxophonist\, bass clarinetist\, and film score composer—grew out of yass\, a socio-artistic movement that brazenly challenged the rigidity of the institutionalized mainstream Polish jazz environment during the 1980s and 1990s. Free from any specific doctrine and open to all forms of artistic expression\, the musicians successfully impacted the jazz scene in the country. Trzaska was the co-founder of the most important yass group—the celebrated Miłość ensemble that lasted\, off and on\, from 1988 to 2002\, and the of the equally creative Łoskot\, founded in 1993. Although the impetus of yass faded away many years ago\, Trzaska's status remained and he went on to become one of the main leaders of the Polish scene\, working as well with the top tier of international improvisors. After the yass period\, he recorded a few concentrated quieter albums with the renowned Oleś brothers bass/drum duo. Trzaska has accompanied poets such as Marcin Świetlicki and Jurii Andrukhovych\, and created musical-literary projects with the renowned Polish writer/journalist/critic Andrzej Stasiuk. Today\, he works with many groups\, including his own international trio Volumen\, Ken Vandermark’s Resonance Ensemble\, Magic with Joe McPhee\, and the unique trio Shofar with Raphael Rogiński and Macio Moretti\, which explores unique new improvisational perspectives on traditional Jewish music. He has also established himself as a major award-winning film music composer\, working with the director Wojciech Smarzowski. But his main focus of self-realization is grounded in radical free jazz: he travels the world cooperating with some of the world’s major improvisors such as Peter Brötzmann\, Joe McPhee\, and Ken Vandermark.\n \nMacio Moretti is a drummer and bassist (and occasionally a poor singer and even poorer guitar player) who works in many genres\, from avant metal to jazz. He has founded or co-founded so many musical groups and organizations that it is practically impossible to count them\, but bands such as Mitch & Mitch and LXMP\, as well as the recording label Lado ABC\, might be the most important of them. With these aforementioned bands he has had the pleasure of recording and releasing records with major artists such as Kazuhisa Uchihashi\, Felix Kubin\, Clayton Thomas\, Kassin\, and Zbigniew Wodecki. Besides all this\, he is also an award-winning graphic designer\, the father of two\, a bread maniac\, and has absolutely no interest in motorization.\n \nThis concert is presented in partnership with the Michigan Theater\, and registration is available at https://www.michtheater.org/avant-jazz-poland/\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

The MBCT group serves as treatment for people with depression as well as other mental health conditions. While the chemical and physical aspects of depression and other mental health disorders are far more complex than just feeling down\, current research supports a cognitive approach as a way to change patterns of brain functioning and build resilience in people struggling with chronic depression.\n\nThis program uses a combination of cognitive therapy and mindfulness to help participants form new\, healthier modes of thought. MBCT initiates a cognitive change that helps clients move past events that have the potential to trigger relapse. Participants learn how to view their thoughts without judgment.\n\nIf you are interested in attending or referring a potential group participant\, please contact the Psychological Clinic to begin the process. Call (734) 764-3471 to schedule a screening.
