For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘You Will Die at Twenty'”\n \n About the movie:\n NYTimes Critics Pick! Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82514-21114073@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,Film,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210228T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210228T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. 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.

It is a system of hierarchy and inequity\, primarily characterized by white supremacy—the preferential treatment\, privilege\, and power for white people at the expense of other racially oppressed people. It is also important to recognize that racism is a global issue and continues to be perpetuated in society across the globe and it manifests in many different ways at various levels. This anti-racism workshop in an abroad context aims to offer an entryway for the student to engage in observing how racism plays out in different societies outside the United States\, utilizing examples\, particularly media representation\, that may reflect deeper messages\, and what it means to be anti-racist in the abroad context for American students who have been abroad\, or may be visiting\, studying\, or traveling abroad.\nThis workshop will engage participants in the following activities:\n\nBetter understanding of the phrase “anti-racism”\nLearning about race and its nuances\nRecognizing how culture can shape how racism and power structures develop\nSeeing how media around the world uphold oppression in different ways\, and\nCreating action steps toward actively recognizing oppression abroad.\n\nThis workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff\, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/zxorq.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

Poland’s Place in Europe: Mission Accomplished? DESCRIPTION:After regaining independence in 1989-90 by means of a peaceful revolution that toppled communism\, Poland began to shed the legacy of Soviet Russian domination. Eventually\, joined by other newly liberated neighbors\, it opted for the dissolution of the Soviet bloc institutions such as the Warsaw Pact and COMECON. It was the dream of many Poles to become a fully integrated member of the mythic West\, and this seemed to be realized once Poland joined NATO and the EU. But was this the end of Poland’s history? Was this the time to proclaim\, “mission accomplished”? Poland soon realized that there is no end to history. What was Poland’s place in EU and NATO? Should she become a 38 million Austria or Norway\, just sit and become richer and richer while the world outside Poland burns\, or should Poland use its newfound place to influence and change Europe and NATO? If so\, where is Poland heading now\, and might the issue of Europe again define Poland’s politics? Or should Poland leave the EU and if so\, where will Poland go?\n\nJacek Stawiski is the editor-in-chief of TVN24\, a Polish 24-hour commercial news channel. He studied history at Jagiellonian University in Kraków\, specializing in the history of Polish Jews and international diplomatic history. In 1994 he joined BBC World Service in London. At TV24\, Stawiski is the host of *Horizon*\, a program covering international affairs\, for which he made two documentary films: *Colonel House* (on the U.S. role in restoring Poland’s independence in 1918) and *We\, the People* (on Lech Wałęsa’s historic speech in the U.S. Congress in 1989). He frequently writes commentary for the tvn24.pl website as well as Polish newspapers and weeklies\, and lectures on journalism at Jagiellonian University. \n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

Commute distance calculations reveal\, however\, that “local community” is an imprecise construct. Eight percent of all elementary school-aged are unable to attend the school closest to their home because it is located outside of their locally zoned residential school district. The spatial discontinuities produced by school district boundaries not only increase school commute times\, but in some cases exacerbate school segregation. This occurs most often in areas where small\, suburban school districts encircle large\, citywide school districts. Decades of household sorting have created stark economic and social differences between some bordering school districts—generating a patchwork of territorial school district \"fiefdoms.\" This talk presents preliminary findings from a counterfactual analysis. The estimates measure how much the enforcement of district boundaries over the present-day residential distribution of children contributes to public school segregation by race and poverty. The findings build from a novel method estimating access to public schools that incorporates the local school choice context for virtually every block in the U.S. The hidden costs of school district boundaries are revealed as a trade-off against the perceived benefits of local community control of schools and situated more broadly in a sociological perspective of state power over residential and school choice markets.\n\n\nBIO: \nPeter Rich is an Assistant Professor of Policy Analysis and Management and Sociology at Cornell University. His research investigates the connection between segregation\, inequality\, individual choice\, and public policy in the United States\, asking how sorting processes reflect and reinforce racial and socioeconomic gaps in educational attainment\, wealth accumulation\, and economic opportunity.\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.\n\nContact PSC Office for Zoom details.

Thus\, even if the language is “mixed\,” it does not mix the properties of FCs (Grimstad et al. 2018\, Riksem et al. 2019). I will argue that\, for some creole languages\, unlike some patterns of language mixing whose FCs are selected by one of the source languages\, FCs are formed derivationally\, resulting in having the hybrid nature of FCs.

These simulations have been paired with multivariate methods for many years in search of the smallest distance scales in nature. Deep learning tools hold great promise to qualitatively change this paradigm by allowing for holistic analysis of data in its natural hyperdimensionality with thousands or millions of features instead of up to tens of features. These tools are not yet broadly used for all areas of data analysis because of the traditional dependence on simulations. In this talk\, I will discuss how we can change this paradigm in order to exploit the new features of deep learning to explore nature at sub-nuclear distance scales. In particular\, I will show how neural networks can be used to (1) overcome the challenge of intractable hypvervariate probability density modeling and (2) learn directly from (unlabeled) data to perform hypothesis tests that go beyond any existing analysis methods. The example for (1) will be full phase space unfolding and the example for (2) will be anomaly detection. The talk will include a discussion of uncertainties associated with deep learning-based analyses. \n UID:82057-21014661@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82057 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210121T161534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210301T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210301T170000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Intro to ONSF DESCRIPTION:REGISTER: https://myumi.ch/ZQOXq \n\nThe Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships recruits and prepares U-M undergraduates\, graduate and professional students\, and recent alums for major national scholarship and fellowship competitions such as the Rhodes Scholarship for post-graduate study at Oxford. \n\nJoin us to learn more about the opportunities that ONSF supports for various graduate and career tracks as well as what it takes to be a competitive applicant.\n\nThis event is open to all U-M students\, faculty\, and staff!

Peer-reviewed journals\, even prestigious ones\, do not provide much assurance regarding the credibility of any individual report. Ideally\, we would read each report carefully when deciding what to trust\, but this is often impossible (e.g.\, when we lack the expertise to evaluate the methods) or impractical (e.g.\, when we need to evaluate research at scale). Moreover\, rather than each of us making private judgments\, we would all benefit from collecting and sharing evaluations from a range of experts with different areas of expertise and different blind spots and biases. The ideal would be to validate a rubric for eliciting structured quantitative ratings of quality along a wide range of dimensions\, and collect and make publicly available ratings from many different and diverse experts. These scores could be combined into a variety of metrics\, or “Quality Factors” (QFs)\, that vary in the weight placed on different qualities. These QFs would provide easily digestible and flexible quality ratings of individual scientific papers that could be useful to other scientists\, to journalists and policymakers\, and to the public. QFs would also help incentivize authors to “get it right” rather than just get published in prestigious journals\, because rewards and recognition could be tied to these more transparent\, accountable\, and valid metrics rather than to journal prestige. In this talk\, I discuss what this could look like for my home discipline of psychology\, and describe some progress towards producing Quality Factors for psychology papers.\n\n\nSimine Vazire is an associate professor in the department of psychology at the University of Melbourne.

Join us for a thrilling event where Janaya Khan will discuss “The Future within the Black Lives Matter Movement and The Intersections of being a Black\, Queer\, and Gender-Nonconforming Activist\" This event is sponsored by The Spectrum Center and Central Student Government\, and will be co-moderated by students Adrian King (they/them)\, PhD candidate in American Culture\, and Jolyna Chiangong\, who will be joined by Vice President Of Student Life Dr. Martino Harmon.\n\nWith a timely message about the transformational power of protest\, Janaya Khan is a leading activist who engages their community in a profound discussion about social justice and equality. Known as ‘Future’ within the Black Lives Matter movement\, Janaya is a black\, queer\, gender-nonconforming activist (pronouns: they\, them\, theirs)\, staunch Afrofuturist and social-justice educator who presents an enlightening point of view on police brutality and systemic racism.\n\n“Throughout the political tumult of 2020\, one of the most prominent voices to become a source of healing and hope was Janaya Future Khan\, whose rapidly-growing audience across social media now numbers in the hundreds of thousands. But while the activist’s weekly Sunday Sermons on Instagram provided a necessary forum for those looking to reflect and regroup during the pandemic and the instances of police brutality that sparked a renewal of energy behind the Black Lives Matter movement\, Khan’s activism extends much further back—all the way to their childhood\, spent between Toronto and Florida\, and their subsequent years as a competitive boxer. \n\nGalvanized by the 2014 killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Jermaine Carby in Toronto at the hands of police officers\, Khan has had a longstanding involvement in Black Lives Matter—even launching its first international chapter in Canada—and became a necessary and informed voice for those seeking direction last summer. And like many around the world\, Khan found themselves dismayed and angered by the scenes that unfolded on Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol building\, where riots led by Trump supporters sieged the building to disrupt the final counting of the Electoral College ballots in favor of Joe Biden’s Presidential win\, resulting in five deaths.” BY LIAM HESS January 10\, 2021\n\nMESA and the Spectrum Center is dedicated to working towards offering equitable access to all of the events we organize.

For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘You Will Die at Twenty'”\n \n About the movie:\n NYTimes Critics Pick! Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82514-21114075@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,Film,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210302T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210302T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. 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.

In the model\, escape mutants were not problematic until a year into the pandemic. After they emerged\, vaccination could worsen the pandemic. We examined four patterns by which existing escape mutants could stimulate further escape mutations. These provide insights in how to pursue epitope (the part of an antigen recognized by the immune system) specific model analyses. The time is ripe for this advance. The pandemic has unveiled new high-throughput methods to characterize immunity at an epitope specific and B and T cell specific levels. We will present our model and discuss how it could integrate systems immunology and systems epidemiology.

My laboratory has focused primarily on three main areas of research: how sex\, sex and stress hormones affect neuroplasticity\, cognition and emotional behaviors. Why do I study sex differences in cognition? I’ll give you a hint: it’s not so Google employees can write manifestos. Men and women differ in their vulnerability to develop neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases\, many of which are also associated with sex differences in the severity of cognitive disruptions and neural manifestations of the disease. For example\, women have a greater lifetime risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and major depressive disorder and also greater cognitive disruption with both these diseases compared to men. However\, men are more likely to present with greater cognitive disturbances with schizophrenia. Hence\, to gain a better understanding of how to effectively treat cognitive symptoms in both men and women\, it is important to acknowledge and study differences that might arise between both sexes in response to environmental perturbations. The hippocampus produces new neurons throughout the lifespan in rodents and humans and adult neurogenesis plays a crucial role for pattern separation and for spatial long-term memory. I will show different examples of sex differences in hippocampal neurogenesis under basal conditions but also in response to sex hormones and to spatial training. It is important to establish how neurogenesis in the hippocampus may be involved in hippocampus-dependent cognition in both males and females given the sex differences in cognitive disruptions following diseases that impact the hippocampus. Work in my laboratory has shown that there are sex differences in performance favoring males or females depending on the task and strategy use in spatial navigation and pattern separation. Furthermore\, sex and strategy use affected the survival and activity of new neurons in response to memory. We also see multiple examples of sex differences in neurogenesis in the hippocampus that imply differential functional perturbances of neuroplasticity. Finally\, I will speak briefly\, on preliminary evidence on sex differences in hippocampal neurogenesis using a rodent model of Alzheimer’s disease and how\, a uniquely female event\, motherhood\, can have long lasting effects on the hippocampus and cognition. These findings emphasize the importance of studying biological sex on hippocampal function and neuroplasticity and have implications for neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders that target the hippocampus and affect cognition differentially in women versus men.

China’s state-run media play a crucial role in producing and distributing soft propaganda campaigns. This talk offers a glimpse of such campaigns and presents a nuanced mezzo-level analysis on the inter- and intra-organizational dynamics within the Party press system that contribute to the increasing output of soft propaganda. It shifts the emphasis from the effect of propaganda as a political instrument to the design of propaganda\, which fashions an aesthetic and affective experience and opens up an ambient process of subject formation.\n \n Sheng Zou is a postdoctoral research fellow at Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies of the University of Michigan. He received his PhD in Communication from Stanford University. His research interests include global media industries\, digital politics and popular culture\, platform economy and labor\, and emergent technologies. His dissertation and book project: \"The Engineering of Sentiment and Desire: Unraveling the Aestheticized Politics of Ideotainment in China\" examines the shifting paradigm of propaganda and emotional governance in China\, with emphasis on the entanglement of ideological persuasion and online entertainment.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

The series seeks to promote a culture of inclusion\, while helping encourage attendees to continue their development as a \"whole person\" rather than simply as an \"engineer\". Past topics have covered a wide range of issues\, including social and cultural conflict\, social change\, globalization\, technological growth and change\, and urbanization. Our main goal with the luncheon series is to look at topics that go beyond the purely technical side of engineering. This semester\, in order to ensure attendee safety\, we are holding these events virtually over Zoom. \n\nSpeaker: Prof. Nicole Ellison\, Karl E. Weick Collegiate Professor of Information\, School of Information\n\nTitle: Why We Don’t Click: Interrogating the Relationship Between Viewing and Clicking in Social Media Contexts by Exploring the “Non-Click”\n\nAbstract: Motivated by work that characterizes view-based social media practices as “passive use\,” contrasting it with more desirable\, interactive “active use\,” this study explores how social media users understand their viewing and clicking practices and the empirical relationship between them. Employing a combination of eye tracking\, survey\, and interview methods\, our study (N = 42) investigates what we call the non-click —instances where people intentionally and thoughtfully do not click on content they spend time viewing. Counterintuitively\, we find no difference in how long our participants viewed content they clicked on compared to content they did not click. Our interview data reveal three audience-related concerns that contribute to deliberate non-clicking and illustrate how non-clicked content contributes to social connectedness when imported into other channels. I’ll share some thoughts on what this study might suggest for communities and individuals. For instance\, what are some of the consequences of social media ecosystems that assume we click on worthy content? For maintaining a friendship\, is it better to pick up the phone after reading a post\, or to click “Like”? \n\nTo register for the event\, please fill out the form linked here (https://forms.gle/ntmjzqK9vwEV1gzb8) by midnight on Sunday\, Feb. 28. All attendees will receive a GrubHub coupon for use during the luncheon event. We hope to see you there!

Alarmist editorials compare the arrival of Muslim refugees with the “Muslim conquest of 711\,” warning that Europe will be called on to defend its borders. Violence and paranoia are alive and well in Fortress Europe.\n\nAgainst this xenophobic tendency\, *The Feeling of History* examines the idea of Andalucismo—a modern tradition founded on the principle that contemporary Andalusia is connected in vitally important ways with medieval Islamic Iberia. Charles Hirschkind explores the works and lives of writers\, thinkers\, poets\, artists\, and activists\, and he shows how\, taken together\, they constitute an Andalusian sensorium. Hirschkind also carefully traces the various itineraries of Andalucismo\, from colonial and anticolonial efforts to contemporary movements supporting immigrant rights. *The Feeling of History* offers a nuanced view into the way people experience their own past\, while also bearing witness to a philosophy of engaging the Middle East that experiments with alternative futures.\n\nCharles Hirschkind is associate professor of anthropology at the University of California\, Berkeley. His research interests concern religious practice\, media technologies\, and emergent forms of political community in the urban Middle East and Europe. His published works include\, The Ethical Soundscape: Cassette Sermons and Islamic Counterpublics (Columbia 2006)\, Powers of the Secular Modern: Talal Asad and his Interlocutors (co-edited with David Scott\, Stanford 2005)\, and The Feeling for History: Islam\, Romanticism\, and Andalusia (Chicago 2020)\n\nFlora Hastings is a PhD student in Social and Cultural Anthropology at SOAS\, University of London\, and a freelance journalist. Her research interests include Jewish-Muslim relations in contemporary Barcelona\, progressive forms of Judaism and Islam\, neo-liberalism\, migration and contemporary European identity\, diasporic identity\, and modernisation processes. Flora is also a coordinator of the Jewish-Muslim Research Network.\n\nAdvance Registration Required: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/6716099411525/WN_WM3BO8GgTwGeJ49ZH9Z7iQ UID:80392-20713709@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80392 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Jewish Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210113T111923 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210302T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210302T150000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:DEI Workshop: Diversity 101 DESCRIPTION:*Please direct any questions or accommodation requests to Mikalia Dennis (mikaliad@umich.edu) as soon as possible.*\n\nIn order to have meaningful\, productive conversations about diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, we must start with a common language.

At this virtual event\, three recipients will present on their career work and answer audience questions.\nSpeakers\nPaul Courant\, Edward M. Gramlich Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of Economics and Public Policy\, Provost Emeritus\, Howard T. Shapiro Collegiate Professor Emeritus of Public Policy\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor Emeritus\, Professor Emeritus of Information\nLeading policy economist and former University of Michigan Provost Paul Courant is nationally recognized for his groundbreaking research in urban economics and public finance\, including such topics as tax policy and the impact of racial discrimination on housing markets. Among other contributions\, he led the development of a transparent\, intellectually coherent academic budgeting model used at Michigan and by many other universities\, and he was instrumental in defining the role of university libraries in the digital age.\n“Society\, the University\, and How I Spent the Last 40-Odd Years”\nHarold Shapiro has pointed out that the university is both a servant and critic of society. Professor Courant will take the perspective of a policy-oriented economist in this lecture\, to talk about what universities do and how well they do it. He will use his own career to illustrate how policy-oriented economics can help to achieve the purposes of the university (very much including the humanities) while guaranteeing a splendid time for all.\n \nDeborah Goldberg\, Margaret B. Davis Distinguished University Professor Emerita of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor Emerita\, Professor Emerita of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\nPioneering plant ecologist Deborah Goldberg elucidates the fundamental processes that control the dynamics\, structure\, and function of ecological communities\, including the impacts of anthropogenic drivers such as climate change and invasive species. Among other contributions\, she developed a new paradigm for mechanisms of interactions among plants by distinguishing between effects on and responses to intermediates such as resources\, pollinators\, herbivores\, and microbial symbionts\, leading to greater predictability of the outcome of competition. Professor Goldberg also developed several model programs to increase the number and success of underrepresented young people going into science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM).\n“Ecology of the Anthropocene”\nThe current geological era has been dubbed the Anthropocene because of the dominance of human influences on climate and the environment. Understanding how ecological systems are being affected by human activities and the underlying processes is critical for predicting and managing the consequences. In this talk\, Professor Goldberg describes some of her work on the mechanisms driving ecological responses to global change\, including addressing the challenges of prediction in ecology.\n \nJudith Irvine\, Edward Sapir Distinguished University Professor Emerita of Linguistic Anthropology\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\nLinguistic anthropologist Judith Irvine is an internationally recognized leader in anthropological theory and analysis. Famous for her groundbreaking research on the relationship between language and other social forms\, she redefined key conceptual frameworks in linguistic anthropology\, such as formality in language use and ideology of language. Her work demonstrates that language is a critical resource that organizes social relations. Throughout her career\, Professor Irvine has stressed the importance of combining ethnographic research with linguistic investigation\, challenging cultural anthropologists to bring linguistics into their understanding of face-to-face political interaction and linguists to seriously consider the political underpinnings of language diversity.\n“Linguistic Difference and Social Stereotyping”\nThis talk is about sociolinguistic stereotypes: how they are built\, and what people do with them—the linguistic part of social stereotyping. Sociolinguistic stereotypes are not built independently\, one by one. Instead\, they are always comparative\; they always presume a system of contrasts. That system organizes how the linguistic behaviors are embedded in a social and political world. Cross-cultural research shows that perceived differences in ways of speaking contribute to stereotyping and social categorization\, and that linguistic and social behaviors that don’t fit in the preconceived system are ignored\, considered as marginal exceptions\, or actively suppressed. In this talk\, Professor Irving uses brief examples\, drawn from the United State and West Africa\, to illustrate: regional stereotypes\; linguistic enactments of social hierarchy\; multilingualism\, language mapping\, and ideologies of ethnicity\; and nonstandard language as anti-elite politics.\nWatch via Zoom UID:82058-21014662@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82058 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210223T144238 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210302T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210302T163000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Distinguished University Professorships DESCRIPTION:President Mark S.

As specifications get more complex\, representing them via algebraic equations gets harder. Alternatively\, such specifications can be compactly expressed using temporal logics (TL). In this talk\, I will address the problem of learning optimal control policies for satisfying TL specifications in the face of uncertainty. Standard reinforcement learning algorithms are not directly applicable when the objective is to satisfy a TL specification. To overcome this limitation\, I will formulate an approximate problem that can be solved via reinforcement learning and present the suboptimality bound of the proposed solution. Then\, I will consider a TL specification as a hard constraint in the learning problem and present a novel approach to reinforcement learning with guaranteed constraint satisfaction. I will motivate this part by multi-use of autonomous systems\, e.g.\, a drone executing a pick-up and delivery mission as the primary-task while learning to fly over critical regions as the secondary-task. Finally\, I will conclude my talk by discussing some future directions in resilient and safe autonomy. \n \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDerya Aksaray is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Minnesota (UMN).

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/pdWPE\n\nThrough the interrogation rooms of the Korean War\, this talk demonstrates how the individual human subject became both the terrain and the jus ad bellum for this critical U.S. war of ‘intervention’ in postcolonial Korea. In 1952\, with the US introduction of voluntary POW repatriation proposal at Panmunjom\, the interrogation room and the POW became a flashpoint for an international controversy ultimately about postcolonial sovereignty and political recognition. \n\nThe ambitions of empire\, revolution and non-alignment converged upon this intimate encounter of military warfare: the interrogator and the interrogated prisoner of war. Which state could supposedly reinvent the most intimate power relation between the colonizer and the colonized\, to transform the relationship between the state and subject into one of liberation\, democracy or freedom? Tracing two generations of people across the Pacific as they navigate multiple kinds of interrogation from the 1940s and 1950s\, this talk lay outs a landscape of interrogation – a dense network of violence\, bureaucracy\, and migration – that breaks apart the usual temporal bounds of the Korean War as a discrete event.\n\nMonica Kim is a historian of the United States and international and diplomatic history. In her research and teaching\, she focuses on three issues that have centrally informed the position of the United States vis-à-vis the decolonizing world during the twentieth century and beyond: the relationships between liberalism and racial formations\, global militarism and sovereignty\, and transnational political movements and international law.\n\nHer book\, The Interrogation Rooms of the Korean War: The Untold History (2019) has received three book prizes:\n2021 James B. Palais Book Prize (Korean Studies) from the Association for Asian Studies\n2020 Stuart L. Bernath Book Prize for Best First Book\, Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations\n2020 Distinguished Book Award in U.S. History\, Society for Military History\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at edv@umich.edu.

For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘You Will Die at Twenty'”\n \n About the movie:\n NYTimes Critics Pick! Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82514-21114076@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,Film,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210303T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210303T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. 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.

Writing about Young Stalin for 30 Years: Why Bother? DESCRIPTION:Professor Ron Suny began writing a biography of Stalin from his birth until the October Revolution\, 1917\, more than thirty years ago. Among the questions he sought to answer were: what makes a revolutionary? Why did Soso Jughashvili turn from Georgian Orthodoxy and romantic nationalism to Marxism and the life of an underground outlaw? In what ways was this first half of Stalin's life formative\, and are there explanations here for what he became in the 1930s\, a despot and the gravedigger of the revolution?\n \nRonald Grigor Suny is the William H. Sewell\, Jr. Distinguished University Professor of History at the University of Michigan and emeritus professor of political science and history at the University of Chicago. He was the first holder of the Alex Manoogian Chair in Modern Armenian History at the University of Michigan\, where he founded and directed the Armenian Studies Program. He is author of *The Baku Commune: Class and Nationality in the Russian Revolution*\; *The Making of the Georgian Nation*\; *Looking Toward Ararat: Armenia in Modern History*\; *The Revenge of the Past: Nationalism\, Revolution\, and the Collapse of the Soviet Union*\; *The Soviet Experiment*\; *\"They Can Live in the Desert But Nowhere Else\": A History of the Armenian Genocide*\; *Red Flag Unfurled: History\, Historians\, and the Russian Revolution.* With Valerie Kivelson\, Suny is co-author of *Russia’s Empires*\, *Stalin: Passage to Revolution*\, and *Red Flag Wounded: Stalinism and the Fate of the Soviet Experiment*.

To this end\, I will describe a series of experimental studies and one crowdsourcing study using Twitter data.\n\nLaura\n\nTitle: \nWhat We Would (but Shouldn't) Do for Those We Love: Universalism versus Partiality in Responding to Others' Moral Transgressions\n\nAbstract:\nPrevious work shows that people say they are more likely to protect a close (versus distant) other who commits a serious moral transgression. But do people believe it is morally right to preferentially protect close others in this way? Across four studies\, we show that people believe they should protect close others more than distant others. However\, we also document a striking discrepancy between how people think they actually would act\, and what they morally should do\, when it comes to protecting close others. This suggests that moral decisions involving close relationships may be a context in which people are particularly likely to fail to do what they think is right.

This paper provides evidence from a randomized experiment that provided mature adults aged 45+ in Malawi with information about population mortality risks. We find a positive treatment effect on expectations about population survival and about HIV transmission risk associated with having multiple sex partners. The latter is driven by the expectations of HIV+ people living longer\, making the pool of potential partners riskier. Consistent with the change in perceived HIV transmission risk\, treated individuals are less likely to engage in risky sexual practices one year after the intervention.\n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:82519-21114094@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82519 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210318T123041 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210303T150000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs: Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development EmployerChallenge DESCRIPTION:From March 3rd to March 10th\, U-M Students will be working ona case related to food emergency response.

By studying how binary black holes are distributed in mass\, spin\, and distance\, it is possible to probe the fate of massive stars while gaining insights into how compact binaries are assembled. In this talk\, I report on the population properties of 47 compact binaries included in the recently published LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave transient catalog two (GWTC-2). I highlight two key results. First\, we find evidence for a feature (a bump or a kink) in the primary black hole mass spectrum at around 35 solar masses. This feature may be related to pair instability supernovae. Second\, we find that 12-44% of binary black hole mergers contain black holes with spin vectors tilted by more than 90° away from the orbital angular momentum. This may indicate that at least some binary black holes are assembled dynamically in dense stellar environments. I discuss the implications of these results and highlight emerging questions in gravitational-wave astronomy.\n UID:82525-21116076@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82525 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210318T123056 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210303T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210303T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Madison Square Garden Presents: Get to Know MSG!

Beth Chimera\, writing instructor at the Ford School Writing Center\, will moderate the discussion. \n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\n\nRebecca Carroll is a writer\, editor and host of the podcast Come Through with Rebecca Carroll: 15 essential conversations about race in a pivotal year for America (WNYC Studios). Most recently\, she was a cultural critic at WNYC\, and a critic-at-large for the Los Angeles Times. Her writing has been published widely\, and she’s the author of several books about race in America\, including the award-winning Sugar in the Raw: Voices of Young Black Girls in America. Her memoir\, Surviving the White Gaze (Simon & Schuster\, Feb 2021)\, has been optioned by MGM/TV and Killer Films with Rebecca attached to adapt for a limited series. \n\nAbout the book: \n\nA stirring and powerful memoir from black cultural critic Rebecca Carroll recounting her painful struggle to overcome a completely white childhood in order to forge her identity as a black woman in America.\n\nRebecca Carroll grew up the only black person in her rural New Hampshire town. Adopted at birth by artistic parents who believed in peace\, love\, and zero population growth\, her early childhood was loving and idyllic—and yet she couldn’t articulate the deep sense of isolation she increasingly felt as she grew older.\n\nIntimate and illuminating\, Surviving the White Gaze is a timely examination of racism and racial identity in America today\, and an extraordinarily moving portrait of resilience.

Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82514-21114077@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,Film,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210304T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210304T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. 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.

Arts of Devotion can tend to be conflated with only those items that are understood as “traditional\,” rather than those that emerge from the contemporary moment\, as if modern and contemporary art can only be associated with the purely secular world.\n \nYet there are numerous contemporary artists who have incorporated elements of the devotional into their works\, and devotional arts have changed with the advent of modern technologies and changing socio-political contexts. We might also consider Arts of Devotion as potentially extending beyond the usual association with the religious to other “devotional” relationships\, such as those for political or revolutionary leaders\, or individuals’ loved ones.\n \nThis year’s conference explores both contemporary and traditional Arts of Devotion by bringing together scholars from across disciplines and temporal and regional contexts\, to engage with one another and a broader audience of faculty\, students\, and the general public.\n\nFree and open to the public.\nThis conference is funded in part by five (5) Title VI National Resource Center grants from the U.S. Department of Education\n\nCo-sponsors: African Studies Center\, Center for Armenian Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Kenneth G.

Nevertheless\, the birth rate has hovered around 1.4 children per woman\, far below what is required for the population to reproduce itself. Why haven’t the policies worked? I argue that policies that have focused on trying to make women’s work lives more like men’s have fundamentally missed the mark. Not only have such policies failed to raise the birth rate\, they have also arguably exacerbated gender inequality. This paper suggests that future government and workplace policies move in a different direction.\n \n Mary C. Brinton is the Reischauer Institute Professor of Sociology at Harvard University and the Director of the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies. Her research focuses on contemporary Japanese society and economy\, labor markets\, social demography\, and gender inequality.

Following ideas in computer science\, we formulate the complexity of time evolution as the length of the shortest geodesic on the unitary group manifold between the identity and the time evolution operator\, and use the SYK family of models with N fermions to study this quantity in free\, integrable\, and chaotic systems. In all cases\, the complexity initially grows linearly in time\, and the shortest path lies along the physical time evolution. This linear growth is eventually truncated by \"shortcuts\" on the unitary manifold that are shorter than the physical time evolution. We explicitly locate such shortcuts and hence show that in the free theory\, shortcuts occur at a time of O(N^1/2)\, truncating complexity growth at this scale. We also find an explicit operator which \"fast-forwards\" time evolution with this complexity. In a class of integrable theories\, we show that shortcuts appear in a time upper bounded by O(poly(N))\, again truncating complexity growth. Finally\, in chaotic theories we argue that shortcuts do not occur until exponential times\, after which it becomes possible to find infinitesimally nearby fixed-complexity approximations to the time evolution operator. We relate these results to the Eigenstate Complexity Hypothesis\, a new criterion on the spectrum of energy eigenstates that guarantees an exponential increase of complexity over time that is consistent with maximal chaos.

However\, existing in vitro models lack temporal regulation that captures the controlled\, rhythmic processes that often occur in biological phenomena. A major contributor to this tech-bio mismatch is the difficulty to easily and sustainably scale our ability to apply timed oscillations\, representative of biorhythms\, in vitro. Developing technologies that are simpler and more adoptable for users\, while ensuring higher throughput\, have the potential to shift the way in which we establish cell cultures with a dynamic biorhythmic baseline.\n\nIn this talk\, I will cover how my previous work in different technology platforms will be leveraged to establish next generation cell and tissue culture platforms that enable biomolecule timed oscillations in more complex microenvironments. First\, I will discuss the development of microfluidic self-regulating circuits as a tool to produce modular chemical profiles on-chip at different timescales. Second\, I will describe microparticle building blocks for the generation of customizable porous scaffolds that are porous\, and consequently perfusable\, enabling our ability to apply biomolecule timed oscillations through liquid flow to 3D scaffolds. Finally\, I will describe my proposed research on establishing biorhythms in vitro and how these in vitro model systems will enable my research group to begin studying how stress within our lives lead to specific disease priming mechanisms.\n\nZOOM LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94405051853 UID:81387-20889817@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81387 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,Life Science,Michigan Engineering,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210225T104550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210304T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210304T171500 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Chair's Distinguished Lecture: Dynamics of Acoustically Coupled Combustion Instabilities DESCRIPTION:Professor Ann R. Karagozian \nMechanical & Aerospace Engineering Department\nUCLA\n\nAcoustically-coupled combustion instabilities can result in large scale\, potentially catastrophic pressure oscillations in aerospace propulsion systems\, including liquid rocket engines (LREs) and gas turbine engines. A fundamental understanding of the interactions among flow and flame hydrodynamics\, acoustics\, and reaction kinetics is essential to determining combustor stability and controlling combustion processes. Over the past several years our group at the UCLA Energy and Propulsion Research Laboratory has been pursuing fundamental experiments that can shed light on combustion instabilities and their control\, including exploration of the effects of external acoustic perturbations on liquid nanofuel combustion as well as gas-phase fuel jet combustion for alternative geometrical configurations. Phenomena such as periodic liftoff and reattachment\, periodic partial extinction and reignition\, and full extinction are explored and quantified via phase-locked OH* chemiluminescence and high speed visible imaging. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) modes and coefficient plots of time-resolved imaging enables characterization of various dynamical behaviors and signatures associated with different phenomena. Understanding such characteristic signatures enables development of reduced order models that can impact eventual control strategies. \n\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nAnn Karagozian is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCLA and heads the UCLA Energy and Propulsion Research Laboratory and the UCLA-Air Force Research Laboratory Collaborative Center for Aerospace Sciences.

Randall Collegiate Professorship in Physics\, Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:Just over 20 years ago\, the demonstration of self-referenced optical frequency combs solved a long-standing problem of linking radio- and light-frequencies. This breakthrough allowed direct measurement of the frequency of light and enabled optical atomic clocks with exquisite precision.

While Aksakov’s work has received critical attention for its memoiristic content and attention to nature\, the geohistorical specificity of the trilogy’s setting has been overlooked. This is surprising given the recent interest in understanding Russian colonial and imperial experience. A Family Chronicle (1856) and Childhood Years (1856) are not books in which the action could take place anywhere or in some generic pastoral or provincial space. Rather\, they are about a specific place – Orenburgskii krai (Bashkiria) – that was a borderland\, frontier\, and contact zone from the time of its inclusion within Russian imperial space in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries into Aksakov’s lifetime. In “A Taste of Frontier Medicine\,” I explore some of the ways in which the eastern Russian border with “Asia” broadly understood frames Aksakov’s work\, as well as how these texts make claims about Russian identity as something defined by and in the “hybrid\,” Eurasian sphere of the border zone. Discussion will center on two episodes that articulate a critical aspect of Aksakov’s frontier imaginary: the narrator’s mother’s taking of a “kumys cure.” The “kumys cure” serves as a revitalizing moment that establishes “nomadic\,” “Asiatic” elements of the frontier as a crucial antidote to both a perceived excess of civilization and\, counter-intuitively\, to the potential dangers of the frontier zone itself.

Her groundbreaking “architectural acupuncture” is a holistic approach to the social and economic revitalization of rural China and has been selected by UN Habitat as the case study of Inspiring Practice on Urban-Rural Linkages. Xu Tiantian received her masters in architecture and urban design from Harvard Graduate School of Design\, and her baccalaureate in architecture from Tsinghua University in Beijing.\n\nDnA_Design and Architecture is an interdisciplinary practice addressing our contemporary living environment\, both physical and social\, from scales small to large. Our approach to projects starts with research and discussion on context\, program\, and their interaction\, which we believe are the fundamental elements\, or the dna\, that will define design and architecture\, to adapt\, engage\, and contribute to our society of multiplicity and complexity. Context\, program\, and their potential relationship\, will cultivate architecture into a multidimensional expression and generate new experiment and exploration for users. Architecture will continue to influence and inspire our contemporary life.

For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘Stray'”\n \nAbout the film:\nThrough the eyes of three stray dogs wandering the streets of Istanbul\, STRAY explores what it means to live as a being without status or security. As they search for food and shelter\, Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society that allow us an unvarnished portrait of human life — and their own canine culture.\n \nZeytin\, fiercely independent\, embarks on solitary adventures through the city at night\; Nazar\, nurturing and protective\, easily befriends the humans around her\; while Kartal\, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site\, finds refuge with the security guards who care for her. The disparate lives of Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them.\n \nWhether they lead us into bustling streets or decrepit ruins\, the gaze of these strays act as windows into the overlooked corners of society: women in loveless marriages\, protesters without arms\, refugees without sanctuary. The film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82750-21171582@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,cmenas,Film,Middle East Studies,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210225T101133 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T200000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Virtual Viewing: You Will Die at Twenty DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing.

Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82514-21114078@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,Film,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. 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.

Because adoption dates are unknown\, we identify adopting stations by testing for structural breaks in AP markers\, finding most breaks to be around the time of widespread AP introduction. Because station adoption is endogenous\, we instrument using headquarter adoption. Adoption increases margins\, but only for non-monopoly stations. In duopoly markets\, margins increase only if both stations adopt\, suggesting that AP has a significant effect on competition.\n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:81742-20949398@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81742 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210320T063050 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T110000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Internship Lab DESCRIPTION:*RSVP for this program.

In 2002\, I served as the first director of the UW-Madison Astrophysics REU program\, and I have been involved in this program ever since\, including running the program during the one summer where we had a gap in funding. I will describe the evolution of this program\, my thoughts and experiences about what works\, and what we could be doing better as a community. The continuity of this program has allowed us to obtain funding from the UW-Madison’s Graduate School\, individual grants\, and other sources. (This additional support has allowed us to fund 45 additional students beyond the NSF supported students.) From 2002 to 2018\, over fifty mentors have worked with a total of 175 students\, including 92 women (53%)\, 49 students who are members of under-represented minorities (URM\, 28%)\, and four students with documented disabilities. We now have fifty-one alumni who have earned their PhDs (22 in Astronomy/Space Physics\, 14 in Physics\, and nine in other areas)\, including twenty-five women and eleven URM alumni.\n\nPlease note: Should you require any reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access and opportunity related to this event please contact Nicholle Cardinal at ndcard@umich.edu.

This paper proposes permutation tests for equality of parameters that are estimated at root-n or slower rates. Our general framework applies to both parametric and nonparametric models\, with two samples or one sample split into two subsamples. Our tests have correct size asymptotically while preserving exact size in finite samples when distributions are equal. They have no loss in local-asymptotic power compared to tests that use asymptotic critical values. We propose confidence sets with correct coverage in large samples that also have exact coverage in finite samples if distributions are equal up to a transformation.\n\nWe apply our theory to four commonly-used hypothesis tests of non-parametric functions evaluated at a point. Lastly\, simulations show good finite sample properties of our tests.\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/94350208889\nThere will be a virtual reception to follow\n\n\nhttps://economics.illinois.edu/profile/eunyi UID:80566-20740179@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80566 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210219T094844 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T110000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:U-M Structure Seminar: \"Carbohydrate capture by human gut bacteria: the first crystal structure of raw starch-binding protein\, Doc6\, from Ruminococcus bromii\" DESCRIPTION:Amanda Photenhauer\nGraduate Student\nNicole Koropatkin Lab\nUniversity of Michigan UID:76727-19741013@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/76727 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Lecture,Structural Biology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210209T122748 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T113000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Semester in Detroit Winter 2021 Office Hours DESCRIPTION:Got questions about your application?

I will present our work showing how RNA writers\nand readers have co-evolved to shape the epitranscriptome input and output. A series of comparative molecular structures will be described that illustrate how very subtle changes in enzyme active sites of RNA modifying enzymes result in different chemical marks that have co-\nevolved with RNA reader proteins\, which can adopt modular quaternary structures that are specifically tuned to read different modifications. This co-evolution of RNA writers and readers impacts nearly every step of eukaryotic gene expression.\n\n*Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/92759610297* UID:79991-20539092@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79991 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Complex Systems,Physics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210226T162259 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T130000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CSAS Book Talk | The Globally Familiar Digital Hip Hop\, Masculinity\, and Urban Space in Delhi DESCRIPTION:In The Globally Familiar Ethiraj Gabriel Dattatreyan traces how the rapid development of information and communication technologies in India has created opportunities for young people to creatively explore their gendered\, classed\, and racialized subjectivities in and through transnational media worlds.

Despite the massive scale of the site and its primary mound\, previous testing has produced little evidence of long-term habitation at Letchworth. Last year\, the Letchworth Habitation Area Archaeological Project utilized remote sensing and targeted excavations to assess when and how people lived at the site. In this presentation\, I discuss results from last year’s fieldwork\, including a new chronology for Letchworth and the remains of a Woodland period building—the first one found at Letchworth and one of only a handful identified in the region. Based on these results\, I will present an interpretation of daily life at Letchworth\, comparisons with other sites in the region\, and models of ceremonial center occupation in the Southeast.

How polyomavirus (PyV)\, a small\, DNA tumor virus\, accomplishes this essential step in infection is unclear. In mammalian cells\, intracellular transport is facilitated largely by two host motors\, kinesin and cytoplasmic dynein\, which move cargo along microtubules towards the periphery and center of the cell\, respectively. We reported that dynein motor activity is required for PyV disassembly and nuclear arrival\, but the exact mechanisms by which it promotes this process were unknown. Processive dynein activity requires a three-protein complex composed of the dynein motor\, dynactin activator and an adaptor that confers cargo specificity. Unexpectedly\, our most recent data revealed that the BICD2 adaptor is sufficient to disassemble the virus independent of the other components within the complex revealing cargo remodeling as a novel function of dynein adaptors. As BICD2 associates with both dynein and kinesin and is involved in cargo transport to the nuclear membrane\, we are now investigating the role of these factors in the subsequent nuclear arrival and import of PyV. \n\nHost: Matt Chapman UID:82373-21084381@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82373 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Research,Science,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200831T074350 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T140000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Psychology Department Faculty Meeting DESCRIPTION:Psychology department monthly faculty meeting UID:75304-19410857@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/75304 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Psychology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210223T150750 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T140000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:DEI in Engineering Pedagogy - Find Your Students DESCRIPTION:Diversity\, equity and inclusion (DEI) are central and defining components of pedagogy. When we don’t explicitly consider DEI in our courses (syllabi\, assignments\, exams\, grades) we end up actively contributing to an oppressive\, inequitable monoculture. One of most helpful and inclusive practices we can cultivate as teachers is to listen deeply and compassionately. Drawing from research on cognition\, learning and epistemology as well as my own experience as a researcher and teacher\, I have a few suggestions for how to use listening as a teaching tool. All teaching requires a contract between the teachers and the taught\, and the default (historical and tacit) contract puts undue and inequitable burdens on our students. It is our responsibility as educators to change our practices to address these inequities.

It has strong relationships with fitness\, and is influenced by a number of biotic and abiotic factors\, while also potentially functionally and structurally constrained. Given its central importance\, body size has long been studied by ecologists and evolutionary biologists\, including burgeoning interest in size change as a key response to global changes such as human predation and global warming. In this talk\, I show the power of natural history collections to inform about long-standing and new questions about body size change broadly over space and time. I will first describe efforts to compile and share millions of measurements that have routinely been taken by field vertebrate biologists\, utilizing a growing informatics toolkit and semantic web approaches to make those available. I then provide four case studies\, two focused on examining a classical ecogeographical rule\, Bergmann’s Rule. The first case study takes an initial look at this rule across 1000s of vertebrate species. The second focuses on a narrower subset but examines multiple climate predictors\, not just temperature\, and asks if species climate niche determines intraspecific body size change. The third case study asks if we can use natural history collections to understand body size changes over the recent past and due to climatic factors and human population changes\, focusing on a case study on deer mice across North America. Finally\, I showcase the potential to look over very broad evolutionary time\, and understand shape and size change of butterfly wings\, again using the power of natural history collections\, showcasing vastly different evolutionary rates for fore- and hindwing shape and size. I close noting the importance of building the infrastructure to support the concept of the extended specimen\, as a transformational next step in facilitating novel use of natural history collections.​\n\nRead more\, including about the speakers and their talks\, on the ECSS website: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/ecss/ \n\nREGISTER: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/ecss/home/register/\n\nIllustration: John Megahan.

Revelations from the Cairo Geniza on the Ottoman Era in Egypt DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Register at https://myumi.ch/zx790\n\nThe Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar is pleased to announce our new public lecture ‘Revelations from the Cairo Geniza on the Ottoman Era in Egypt with Professor Jane Hathaway.\n \n The Abstract:\n \n \"In this talk\, I will present findings from my recent research in Ottoman-era documents of the Cairo Geniza. While the Geniza is well-known as a rich source for the economic and social history of Egypt and the eastern Mediterranean during the high Middle Ages (roughly 10th-early 13th centuries)\, the smaller volume of documents from the Ottoman period has remained understudied. For the past several months\, I have worked with Arabic-script documents from this corpus. My talk will focus on a paleographically challenging document describing an inheritance dispute in the Mediterranean port of Damietta in 1538\, only twenty-one years after the Ottoman conquest of Egypt. The case sheds light on the status of Jewish converts to Islam\, on Ottoman efforts to revive Damietta as a commercial entrepôt\, and on continuities between late Mamluk Sultanate-era and Ottoman-era judicial and chancery practices\".

Despite widespread use in motor cortex\, paired-pulse TMS is seldom performed in sensory areas due to variable\, qualitative metrics. In this talk\, I will discuss a project in which we assessed the reliability and validity of tracing TMS-induced phosphenes (short-lived artificial percepts) to investigate the stimulation parameters necessary to elicit decreased visual cortex excitability with paired-pulse TMS. I will then present preliminary data exploring how this newly developed measure of visual cortical inhibition relates to Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy measures of GABA concentration\, and how it can be applied to the study of aging. Previous literature reveals that GABA concentration declines with age across many brain regions\; I will therefore also provide preliminary results that investigate age differences in this TMS measure of visual inhibitory activity.

How do you find meaning in your life\, and how do different identities we hold play a role in how we find meaning? We will be exploring this through two separate workshops led by CAPS \"Healing Justice: Holistic Self-Care During Challenging Times \". \n\nU-M Counseling and Psychological Services will offer two workshops (“Healing Justice in the Fabric of Community” and “Healing Justice: Rediscovering Spirit” ) which focus on components of Loretta Pyles’ (2018) Healing Justice: Self-Care for Change Makers. \n\nThis Fabric of Community session will work towards defining ourselves through the health and wealth of our neighbors\, community and planet. There is an emphasis on 1) healing one's community while in community\; 2) community resilience\; and 3) collective efficacy--the belief that neighbors or groups of citizens can change their situations and be effective in organized community action.\n\nAll students (undergraduate\, graduate and professional) are invited to attend this powerful session!\n\nTo be true to healing justice\, it’s vital to highlight its origins. The movement was originally created by queer folx\, BIPOC\, women and those with disabilities starting from the 60s with a resurgence in the late 2000s. U-M participants will learn ways of healing “a sense of brokenness or disconnection that may be a result of trauma\, oppressive socio-cultural narratives and practices or the ways in which humans may lose touch with each other and themselves.” UID:82340-21068622@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82340 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Graduate and Professional Students,Social Justice,Undergraduate Students,Virtual,Well-being,Women's History Month,Workshop LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210127T150300 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T145000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HistLing Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Bruce Mannheim will lead a discussion on major developments in historical linguistics in the 20th century and into the 21st century.

A sequence of buyers interact with a patient seller\, who is either a strategic type or a commitment type that plays the optimal commitment action in every period. When each buyer observes all previous buyers’ actions and a bounded subset of the seller’s past actions\, there exist equilibria in which the patient seller receives his minmax payoff since the speed of learning goes to zero as the seller becomes patient. When each buyer observes all previous buyers’ actions and an unboundedly informative private signal about the seller’s current-period action\, the speed of learning is bounded away from zero and a patient seller receives at least his optimal commitment payoff in all equilibria.\n\nTo join the seminar\, please contact at econ.theory-requests@umich.edu UID:82699-21161633@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82699 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210211T161201 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210305T160000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Political Theory Workshop (PTW) DESCRIPTION:U-M Political Science doctoral student David Suell will present\, \"Grounding radical democracy: Nyerere\, Cabral\, and narrating the anti-colonial state.\" Suell's research and teaching focuses on critical theory\, comparative political theory\, and African politics and political thought.\n\nThe Political Theory Workshop provides a venue for political theory-oriented scholarship broadly construed.

Current theories of moral psychology — based largely on outcomes\, rules\, or affect — have trouble explaining this intuition. After all\, one vote typically makes no difference in the overall outcome of an election. Moreover\, there is not necessarily a rule or norm that mandates voting. And the thought of not voting isn’t particularly emotionally charged. Rather\, I propose that moral judgments in cases like this arise out of the logic of universalization — essentially the process of asking “what if everyone did that?” \n\nThe logic of universalization is well-known to moral philosophers\, appearing in the theories of Kant\, RM Hare\, George Singer\, TM Scanlon and others. In the Foundations section of this talk\, I will introduce the concept of universalization and explore how and why it has been used so effectively in moral philosophy. In the Frontiers section of the talk\, I will demonstrate how I have used this philosophical concept as a starting place for a model of moral cognition. I will define a computational model of universalization and show how it predicts subject judgments with quantitative precision. In addition\, developmental work suggests that universalization may even be used by children as young as 4. Finally\, I will end by showing how universalization may be the key to a unified theory of moral cognition.\n\nAbout the Series\nThe Foundations & Frontiers Speaker Series brings leading cognitive scientists to U-M (virtually) to present a special pair of presentations on the same day. The first presentation serves as an introduction to an important theoretical idea or method in the field -- the Foundations. The second presentation concerns the application of that idea or method to an innovative topic\, thus exploring the Frontiers of the field in a way that highlights the significance of the theoretical idea.

Abumrad employs his dual backgrounds as composer and journalist to create what’s been called “a new aesthetic” in broadcast journalism. He orchestrates dialogue\, music\, interviews\, and sounds into compelling documentaries that draw listeners into investigations of otherwise intimidating topics\, such as the nature of numbers\, the evolution of altruism\, or the legal foundation for the war on terror. He’s won three George Foster Peabody Awards\, and in 2011 Abumrad was honored as a MacArthur Fellow (also known as the Genius Grant).\n\nThe MacArthur Foundation website says: “Abumrad is inspiring boundless curiosity within a new generation of listeners and experimenting with sound to find ever more effective and entertaining ways to explain ideas and tell a story.”\n\nAbumrad also created and hosted three seasons of More Perfect\, a series about untold stories of the Supreme Court\, which The New York Times called “...possibly the most mesmerizing podcast.” And in 2019\, along with OSM Audio’s Shima Oliaee\, Jad Abumrad created Dolly Parton’s America\, a Peabody Award-winning 9-part series that explores a divided America through the life and music of one its greatest icons. Alongside his radio work\, Abumrad continues to work as a composer and remixer and is currently hosting a radio show on Apple Music.\n\nFor this speaker series event\, Abumrad will be in conversation with Chris Azzopardi\, editor of Q Syndicate\, the national LGBTQ wire service serving LGBTQ publications across the United States. Azzopardi is also a contributor to The New York Times and has written for Vanity Fair\, GQ\, Billboard\, and Oprah Magazine. His 2014 interview with Dolly Parton was published in an anthology of interviews spanning her life and career\, entitled Dolly on Dolly: Interviews and Encounters with Dolly Parton. Over the course of Azzopardi’s career\, he has interviewed musicians\, actors\, allies\, and icons including Beyoncé\, Meryl Streep\, Lady Gaga\, and Mariah Carey. Locally\, his stories are published in Michigan'\;s LGBTQ newspaper Between The Lines.\n\nOur 2020-2021 Series is brought to you with the support of our streaming partners\, Detroit Public Television and PBS Books.\n\nHow to WatchAll events will be webcast on Fridays at 8pm (ET) at http://pennystampsevents.org and https://dptv.org/pennystamps.

For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘Stray'”\n \nAbout the film:\nThrough the eyes of three stray dogs wandering the streets of Istanbul\, STRAY explores what it means to live as a being without status or security. As they search for food and shelter\, Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society that allow us an unvarnished portrait of human life — and their own canine culture.\n \nZeytin\, fiercely independent\, embarks on solitary adventures through the city at night\; Nazar\, nurturing and protective\, easily befriends the humans around her\; while Kartal\, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site\, finds refuge with the security guards who care for her. The disparate lives of Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them.\n \nWhether they lead us into bustling streets or decrepit ruins\, the gaze of these strays act as windows into the overlooked corners of society: women in loveless marriages\, protesters without arms\, refugees without sanctuary. The film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82750-21171583@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,cmenas,Film,Middle East Studies,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210225T101133 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210306T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210306T200000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Virtual Viewing: You Will Die at Twenty DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing.

Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82514-21114079@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,Film,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210306T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210306T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. 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. Alternately\, you can contact the clinic through the website form\, found here: https://mari.umich.edu/psych-clinic/contact-us.\n\nIf you missed the start of this session or are interested in a group at a different time or on a different day\, please contact us! We have ongoing groups and can organize new sessions based on demand.
