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:82514-21114077@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. She has published widely on gender inequality in Japan and in East Asia more broadly.\n\nZoom registration is required here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JsLH5WpASsyrQLLYRqMn9g\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

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!

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:82750-21171584@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:20210307T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210307T200000 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. 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:82514-21114080@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:20210307T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210307T230000 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.

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:82750-21171585@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:20210308T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210308T200000 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:82514-21114081@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:20210308T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210308T230000 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.

However\, research is only beginning to link adversity to brain function and little research has examined whether exposure to community violence predicts neural function. The current study examines associations between exposure to community violence and neural reactivity during reward processing in 451 twins sampled from neighborhoods with above average levels of poverty. Moreover\, by leveraging a twin design\, the study examines the extent to which these associations are environmental in origin.

Title: Age and ethnicity in the perception of Hokkien stop voicing: A proposal.\n\nPlease visit the Seminar Series website for Zoom access information.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nCan listeners’ knowledge of socially-condition linguistic variation influence how they perceive the speech of talkers from different social groups? Can the listeners’ perception be conditioned by their own social background? In this talk\, I propose a study that hopes to answer these questions in the Sino-Philippine context. I focus on the potential effect of age (young vs. old) and ethnicity (Lannang vs. Mainlander) on the perception of Hokkien stop voicing in individuals with Southern Chinese heritage (SCH) - the Lannangs and the Mainlanders .\n I plan to conduct a perception experiment to be administered over PsychoPy. I will subject my participants to a two-alternative forced choice task\, where they will be first exposed to stimuli (created using a Hokkien voiced-voiceless stop continuum) and then decide which word they believe they heard from two alternatives on the computer screen. These are minimal pair Hokkien words that differ only by the voicing of the stop onset – /gau35/ ‘smart’ and /kau35/ ‘monkey’. In the experiment\, participants will decide on the word based on audiovisual stimuli (social manipulation).\n At the level of the talker\, I hypothesize that individuals with SCH will differ in their perceptual judgments of stimuli varying along a voiced-to-voiceless stop continuum in ways that are sensitive to expected social characteristics of the talker. I expect there to be an asymmetrical effect: only talker ethnicity and not age will affect the judgments\, as ethnicity is ‘socially marked’ in the Manila SCH community whereas age is not (McGowan and Babel 2019\; Gonzales 2021). At the listener level\, I hypothesize that the age and ethnicity of the listener can predict the perceptual judgments that they make. Young SCH listeners\, having more exposure and experience with dialectal variation\, may have significantly different /gau/-/kau/ perceptual crossover points in the Lannang and Mainlander talker conditions. Mainlander listeners\, with little to no motivation to distinguish themselves from the Lannangs and no motivation to pay attention to the variation\, may be inclined to have the similar crossover points for both Mainlander and Lannang talker conditions.

Questions such as what is the exact size of the proton\, how does the spin and the mass of the proton arise\, and what is the exact composition of the proton still captivate our field. In the simplest picture\, the proton is made of two up and one down quark\, in a more comprehensive picture\, however\, the proton is a strongly-coupled\, relativistic\, infinite-body system\, where quarks and antiquarks come in and out of existence for very short times. Their fleeting existence makes the antiquarks within protons difficult to study\, but it is discernible in reactions in which a matter–antimatter quark pair annihilates. In this presentation\, I will discuss a recent result published by the SpinQuest collaboration that shows that nature prefers anti-down quarks to anti-up quarks in the proton. This is in contrast to predictions from perturbative QCD where no such antiquark imbalance is expected in the proton.\n UID:82639-21149734@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82639 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210107T120650 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210308T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210308T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:LSA/Ross Dual Degree Info Sessions DESCRIPTION:If you are interested in applying for the Multiple Dependent Degree Program (MDDP) between LSA and the Ross School of Business you must attend an MDDP information session.\n\n All sessions will be held virtually via Zoom at 4 pm on the following days:\n\nJanuary 11\,12\nFebruary 8\,9\nMarch 8\,9\nApril 12\,23\n\nThe Zoom URL is https://umich.zoom.us/j/93289886804 \n\nPresenter-Jeff Harrold\, Coordinator for Academic Standards and Special Populations\, LSA Student Academic Affairs\, jharrold@umich.edu UID:80478-20728296@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80478 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Advising,Business LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210125T173208 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210308T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210308T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:MIDAS Seminar Series and Michigan AI Initiative Co-Present: Heng Ji\, University of Illinois Urbana Champaign DESCRIPTION:To combat COVID-19\, clinicians and scientists all need to digest the vast amount of relevant biomedical knowledge in literature to understand the disease mechanism and the related biological functions. The first challenge is quantity. For example\, nearly 2.7K new papers are published at PubMed per day. This knowledge bottleneck causes significant delay in the development of vaccines and drugs for COVID-19. The second challenge is quality due to the rise and rapid\, extensive publications of preprint manuscripts without pre-publication peer review. Many research results about coronavirus from different research labs and sources are redundant\, complementary or event conflicting with each other.\n\nLet’s consider drug repurposing as a case study. Besides the long process of clinical trial and biomedical experiments\, another major cause for the long process is the complexity of the problem involved and the difficulty in drug discovery in general. The current clinical trials for drug re-purposing mainly rely on symptoms by considering drugs that can treat diseases with similar symptoms. However\, there are too many drug candidates and too much misinformation published from multiple sources. In addition to a ranked list of drugs\, clinicians and scientists also aim to gain new insights into the underlying molecular cellular mechanisms on Covid-19\, and which pre-existing conditions may affect the mortality and severity of this disease.\n\nTo tackle these two challenges\, we have developed a novel and comprehensive knowledge discovery framework\, COVID-KG\, to accelerate scientific discovery and build a bridge between clinicians and biology scientists. COVID-KG starts by reading existing papers to build multimedia knowledge graphs (KGs)\, in which nodes are entities/concepts and edges represent relations involving these entities\, extracted from both text and images. Given the KGs enriched with path ranking and evidence mining\, COVID-KG answers natural language questions effectively. Using drug repurposing as a case study\, for 11 typical questions that human experts aim to explore\, we integrate our techniques to generate a comprehensive report for each candidate drug. Preliminary assessment by expert clinicians and medical school students show our generated reports are informative and sound. I will also talk about our ongoing work to extend this framework to other domains including molecular synthesis and agriculture.\n\nBio:\n\nHeng Ji is a professor at Computer Science Department\, and an affiliated faculty member at Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

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:82750-21171586@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:20210309T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210309T200000 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. 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:82514-21114082@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:20210309T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210309T230000 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 Black Lives movement and the Me Too movement emerged out of decade-long frustrations with the persistence of deep racial and gender inequalities. How do we understand the political possibilities for overcoming durable forms of social inequalities? The talk draws on core ideas from sociology to consider the political power of optimism and voice in driving social reform efforts. \n\nPresenter Sandra R. Levitsky is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and \nAssociate Professor of Sociology. She holds a Ph.D.in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin and a J.D. from the University of\nMinnesota. Her research focuses on American social policy\, political mobilization\, and relationship between law and social change. Her book\, Caring for our Own: Why There is No Political Demand for New \nAmerican Social Welfare Rights\, examines the politics of long- term care. Her current research examines the changing legal environment around Title IX and campus sexual assault. \n\nThis is the seventh of ten lectures to be presented once each month from September 2020 through June\,2021. The next lecture will be held April 13\, 2021. The title is: What the First Amendment Really Means. Learn from well-known experts about an array of interesting subjects\, with an interactive Q&A period following each lecture.\n\nPreregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed to you a few days prior to the first session.

While identifying these disparities is critical\, it has also become clear that we lack the theoretical and methodological tools to integrate the mechanisms generating these inequities into models of infectious disease transmission. This is a huge gap\, as such models have become key tools in developing policy and evaluating the impact of interventions ranging from social distancing to vaccination. In this talk\, I will outline some of the work done by my research group that is focused on understanding the mechanistic drivers of spatial and socioeconomic variation in infection and death from SARS-CoV-2 in Michigan (see e.g. covidmapping.org) and conduct a walk-through of an interactive example of a model that attempts to integrate a key driver of infection inequality - residential segregation - into a model of infectious disease transmission.

Animals shift from actively responding to and interacting with the environment to a quiescent state in which they are less responsive to the environment and their brain activity shows different oscillatory patterns. How do animals achieve this remarkable wake-to-sleep transition? Prior to sleep onset\, animals ranging from bees to humans display a stereotypic repertoire of behaviors. These include finding a safe location\, performing hygiene-related behaviors\, preparing a space in which to sleep\, and adopting a sleeping posture. It has been suggested that the pre-sleep phase is a transitional phase in which engaging in a specific behavioral repertoire de-arouses the brain and facilitates the transition from wakefulness to sleep\, yet causal evidence for this premise is lacking. In this talk\, I will describe our lab’s recent work to fill this knowledge gap.

Yet examinations of individual communities and persons in the frontier demonstrate overarching vacillations of political sovereignties and varied mélanges of cultural practices. This lecture engages historical and archaeological discussions of the Southern Xiongnu (ca.50-200 CE) as one example of local leaders who navigated their presence between exterior competing regimes through a suite of hybrid cultural mediations to successfully maintain independent political power.\n \n Bryan K. Miller received a MA in Archaeology from UCLA and a PhD in East Asian Civilizations from the University of Pennsylvania. His research investigates the history and archaeology of early empires in East Asia\, focusing on intrapolity social and economic developments that occurred over the course of large polities as well as the interaction between regimes of Mongolia and China. His publications include studies of political substrata and the roles of local elites in regional polities\, alternate models of interaction for frontier matrices of cultures in contact\, functions and configurations of urban settings\, and the interplay between local politics and larger processes of globalization. He is currently completing a book manuscript on the Xiongnu Empire for Oxford University Press.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Johnson\nGraduate Research Assistant\nDepartment of Mechanical Engineering\nIowa State University\n\nAmong many global engineering challenges\, two pressing concerns for current and future generations are healthcare and renewable energy production. In particular\, cardiac health and wind energy are difficult or prohibitive to study experimentally due to the scale\, cost\, and accessibility of the structures. With such complex engineering problems\, computational methods provide a suitable alternative to empirical scientific investigation. One challenge associated with computational modeling arises from converting computer-aided design models into a suitable format for traditional analysis methods. When isogeometric analysis (IGA) was originally proposed\, it addressed this disconnect by incorporating the same representation of the geometry model for both design and analysis. While IGA has been proven to be an efficient method to facilitate the transition from design to analysis\, additional strategies are often necessary when simulating complicated structures using IGA. The presented methods address fundamental challenges related to isogeometric modeling for complex engineering applications and demonstrate effective simulation approaches for multi-component heart valves and wind turbine blades. A framework for parametric design and analysis of tricuspid valves demonstrates the advantages of innovative parameter-based modeling techniques and a coupled design-to-analysis approach that can be applied to many engineering problems\, including aerospace and wind turbine structures.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nEmily L. Johnson is a Ph.D. Candidate in Mechanical Engineering and the Wind Energy Science\, Engineering\, and Policy program at Iowa State University. She received her Bachelor's degree in Physics and Mathematics from St. Olaf College in 2016. At Iowa State\, Emily has worked on numerous projects related to isogeometric analysis and computational mechanics for wind turbine blade and heart valve applications. In 2019\, Emily received the Graduate College Research Excellence Award in Mechanical Engineering at Iowa State\, and she recently received an award for the best presentation by a female graduate student at the 14th World Congress in Computational Mechanics and ECCOMAS Congress. Emily's primary research interests are in parametric modeling and computational mechanics\, emphasizing computational design and engineering for aerospace structures\, wind energy\, and biomedical applications.

Action Research and the Participatory Construction of Knowledge in 1970s Colombia DESCRIPTION:Register at https://myumi.ch/3q00K\n\nLecture presented by Joanne Rappaport\, Professor of Latin American Literature and Cultural Studies\, Georgetown University\n \nDiscussant: Laura Pensa\, PhD Candidate\, Romance Languages & Literatures\, U-M\n \nIn the early 1970s\, sociologist Orlando Fals Borda combined sociological and historical research with a firm commitment to grassroots social movements in collaboration with the National Association of Peasant Users on the Atlantic coast of Colombia. The presentation examines the development of participatory action research\, highlighting Fals Borda's rejection of traditional positivist research frameworks in favor of sharing his own authority as a researcher with peasant activists and preparing accessible materials for a campesino readership\, thereby transforming research into a political organizing tool. The fundamental concepts of participatory action research as they were framed by Fals Borda continue to be relevant to engaged social scientists and other researchers in Latin America and beyond.\n \nJoanne Rappaport is a professor of Latin American cultural studies and anthropology at Georgetown University. An anthropologist pursuing dual lines of research in ethnographic history and collaborative ethnography\, she previously looked at the role of literacy and historical memory in indigenous activism in Colombia and at the emergence of indigenous intellectuals in Latin America. Her recent work centers on collaborative ethnography that draws equally on academic and nonacademic agendas\, theories\, and methods. She is the author of *The Disappearing Mestizo: Configuring Difference in the Colonial New Kingdom of Granada*\, *Beyond the Lettered City: Indigenous Literacies in the Andes\, and Intercultural Utopias: Public Intellectuals\, Cultural Experimentation\, and Ethnic Pluralism in Colombia*\, and *Cowards Don′t Make History: Orlando Fals Borda and the Origins of Participatory Action Research* all also published by Duke University Press.\n\n------\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

In times of isolation and disconnect from community\, transgender and nonbinary individuals can lose sight of self-love and body positivity.\n\nIn Part 1\, we will explore the topic of body positivity through the lens of the wellbeing model.

By incorporating other transgender and non-binary voices in the workshop\, the space will also explore what self-love looks like and how you can build a body-positive self-image.\n\nIn Part 2\, we will continue diving into how to cultivate a body-positive self-image. Through personal reflection and group conversations\, we will explore our own body origin stories and how body policing manifests within transgender and non-binary communities. With a focus on narratives and experiences\, the workshop will provide participants with strategies to reframe and cultivate body positivity for ourselves\, our relationships and our communities.\n\nAttendance for Part 1 isn't required for Part 2\, nor is it a commitment to attend Part 2. For both workshops\, participants are encouraged to wear an article of clothing\, accessory\, or outfit that validates your identity and expression.\n\nSpectrum Center Event Accessibility Statement:\nThe 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 ‘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:82750-21171587@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:20210310T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210310T200000 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:82514-21114083@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:20210310T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210310T230000 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.

Public health authorities have encouraged social distancing and provided guidance on how to effectively keep your distance. However\, there is wide variation in the extent to which someone follows the recommendations to limit physical contact with others. In this talk\, I will examine what predicts social distancing behavior (a) across different populations (college students vs. community members) and (b) across time\, mainly focusing on how being informed about COVID-19 versus being emotionally threatened about COVID-19 predicts social distancing behaviors.\n\nJulia\n\nTitle:\nBad is More Specific Than Good\n \nAbstract:\nPrevious research suggests that \"bad is stronger than good\" in the sense that negative stimuli and events are more psychologically impactful than their positive counterparts. In this talk\, I will present evidence that bad is also more specific than good. In four studies\, we found that when we asked participants rated their dislikes and challenges as being more specific than their likes and advantages.

This talk examines 'folk art' made by non-professional Polish artists – many of them village laborers – documenting the German Nazi occupation of Poland and the Holocaust.

The territorial engagement\, which began in the 1980s and unfolded across Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, and Nagorno-Karabagh was the catalyst for a sequence of pogroms leveled against Armenians living in major cities of the former Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic\, from Sumgait to Kirovabad (Ganja) and in 1990\, the capital city of Baku.\n \n The conflict had a massive influence not only on the cultural and political geography of the South Caucasus but continues to shape the everyday experience of people living in the region today as well as generations of displaced Armenians and Azerbaijanis. Among the millions forced to evacuate the region\, thousands arrived in the United States\, concentrating in urban and suburban communities\, including in Detroit and surrounding Southeast Michigan. Born in Baku\, Mirzoyan arrived in Detroit with her family as a result of the Nagorno-Karabagh conflict.\n \n Mirzoyan’s research into the war starts with her passport photo as a refugee being granted asylum in the US in 1991. This discussion will include a screening of her short experimental works that use archival family footage (“Baku 1977”) and capture sceneries or people's lives in the city of Shushi (Swallows flying in the city of Shushi\; \"Barber of Shushi\"). Her intimate knowledge of the region comes from her first-hand experience of walking on its minefields with Halo Trust\, teaching filmmaking to students in Stepanakert (the capital city of Artsakh)\, and collecting the stories of its citizens. Much of Mirzoyan's art is an exploration of the filmmaker's personal trauma tied to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabagh/Artsakh and presents a journey of healing her past through her relationship with the country.\n \nOksana Mirzoyan is an Armenian-American artist focused on narrative filmmaking as a writer\, director\, and producer. Mirzoyan’s films have screened and been awarded internationally at festivals such as Clermont-Ferrand\, Camerimage\, and Locarno. Her short film“140 Drams\" was an honoree of the Cinematographer’s Guild of America and won Best Short Film at Izmir Film Festival. Mirzoyan is based in Detroit where she is a Kresge Artist Fellow. Her experimental and narrative short films \"140 Drams\,\" \"Sonnet\,\" and \"Susanna\" were screened in a solo exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Currently\, she is working on her first feature\, \"Abysm\" which explores the ongoing conflict in Nagorno-Karabagh. The film has won Locarno Film Festival’s Open Doors Prize\, along with support from the George Foundation. Mirzoyan has been recently experimenting with sculpture and installation work.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Understanding such phenomena offers a means of optimizing the performance of existing devices\, while also guiding the development of next-generation sources. Such objectives are challenging and will require a combination of advanced numerical\, theoretical\, and experimental approaches\, many of which are still under development. \n \nNew experimental approaches applied to LTPs can offer insights into aspects such as particle properties and dynamics\, which may be inaccessible to conventional diagnostics. In recent years\, highly-sensitive coherent and incoherent Thomson scattering implementations have been achieved for magnetized LTPs\, providing evidence for\, and information on\, instabilities implicated in anomalous transport\, and new access to electron properties. In this talk\, recent insights gained from Thomson scattering in such plasmas will be discussed\, with illustrations of how dialogue between experiments\, theory and numerical simulations have improved current understanding.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Sedina Tsikata is a researcher with the CNRS\, the French National Center for Scientific Research\, working at the ICARE laboratory in Orléans\, France. She received undergraduate and graduate degrees from\, respectively\, MIT and Ecole Polytechnique\, and her postdoctoral research was funded by the French Space Agency. Her main research focuses on understanding phenomena in magnetized plasmas via the development and application of new diagnostics. Dr. Tsikata has received recognitions from the French Physics Society (Prix René Pellat) and from the CNRS (Médaille de Bronze).

Outcomes of these problems include but are not limited to increased attrition\, decreased learning\, and reduced engineering innovation resulting from a homogenous engineering population. While these measures provide concrete evidence of systemic problems\, they do not provide clear targets for change or an early warning system of how systemic problems influence students before crucial decision points. \n\nTo address the limitations of existing engineering education outcome measures\, measures of how students internalize engineering experiences are needed. Students' motivations for engineering tasks and identifications as engineers can fill this gap as they are contextually responsive and connected to educational outcomes such as deep learning\, student retention\, and task persistence. Additionally\, students' educational experiences directly influence their motivations and identities. \n\nInformed by specific theories of motivation and identity (future time perspective and engineering role identity\, respectively)\, this presentation describes how students' motivations and identities are shaped by their engineering education experiences and shape engineering education cultures. Specifically\, I will discuss the homogenization of undergraduates' motivations and identities\; the connections between motivation and identity and experiences of discrimination and bias\; and the identity and motivationally undermining experiences of engineering graduate students. I will conclude by discussing actionable steps to shift engineering education defaults to foster students' motivations and identities.\n\nBiographical Sketch: Dr. Adam Kirn is an Associate Professor of Engineering Education in the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Nevada\, Reno. His research focuses on the ways students' motivations and identities shape and are shaped by their engineering education experiences. The results of this work seek to implement evidence-based practices to create educational defaults that foster student success and thriving. Adam has a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology\, an M.S. in Bioengineer\, and a Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education from Clemson University.

With single-cell sequencing\, we can now simultaneously measure thousands of genomics features in a large number of cells\, which provides an ultrahigh resolution phenotypic map for each individual. However\, single-cell protocols are complex. Even with the most sensitive platforms\, the data are often sparse and noisy. Recent development of single-cell multi-omics and spatial transcriptomics technologies further imposed additional challenges on data integration. In this talk\, I will present several machine learning methods that my group recently developed for single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data analysis. I will discuss methods for simultaneous denoising\, clustering and batch effect correction\, single-cell multi-omics data integration\, identification of spatially variable genes\, generation of super-resolution gene expression\, and inference of cell type distribution in spatial transcriptomics. I will illustrate our methods by showing results from ongoing collaborations on cardiometabolic disease and applications to brain and cancer data.\n* * *\nBiography: Dr. Li’s research interests include statistical genetics and genomics\, bioinformatics\, and computational biology. The central theme of her current research is to use statistical and computational approaches to understand cellular heterogeneity in human-disease-relevant tissues\, to characterize gene expression diversity across cell types\, to study the patterns of cell state transition and crosstalk of various cells using data generated from single-cell and spatial transcriptomics studies\, and to translate these findings to the clinics. In addition to methods development\, Dr. Li is also interested in collaborating with researchers seeking to identify complex disease susceptibility genes and acting cell types. She is Director of Biostatistics for the Gene Therapy Program at Penn\, where she advises biostatistics and bioinformatics analysis for various gene therapy studies.

A well popularized feature of chaotic systems is the butterfly effect: a small variation of initial conditions may lead to a drastically different future evolution\, a mechanism at the base of the so-called 'deterministic chaos'. We will introduce and focus on 'slowly chaotic' dynamical systems'\, for which the butterfly effect happens \"slowly\" (e.g. at polynomial speed). These include many fundamental examples coming from physics\, such as the Ehrenfest billiard and the Novikov model of electrons in a metal. In the talk we will survey some of the recent advances in our understanding of their typical chaotic features as well as common mechanisms for chaos.

We use administrative data covering the universe of corporate credit transactions matched to bank balance sheets\nto document four facts: (1) an easing in global financial conditions leads to lower borrowing costs and an increase in local lending\; (2) domestic banks more exposed to international capital markets transmit the GFC locally\; (3) the fall in local currency borrowing costs is larger than foreign currency borrowing costs due to the comovement of the uncovered interest rate parity (UIP) premium with the GFC over time\; (4) data on posted collateral for new loan issuances show that collateral constraints do not relax during the boom phase of the GFC.\n*To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:81276-20879915@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81276 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210106T145158 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210310T161500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210310T170500 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Cardio Hip Hop DESCRIPTION:Cardio Hip Hop is a high-intensity dance workout that uses choreographed movements set to Hip Hop and Top 40 music.

The organization recently opened its new community center in NW Detroit to honor the legacy of General Gordon Baker Jr.\, one of the most important labor and community activists in modern Detroit history. \n\nFor more information about this public series\, please contact Craig Regester\, Semester in Detroit Associate Director\, at 313-505-5185 or email: regester@umich.edu.
