It should also find welcoming berths overseas at festivals receptive to audience-friendly genre fare\, and the adaptation of Sone Keisuke's Japanese novel has considerable English-language remake appeal at a time when Korean cinema has never enjoyed such global attention.” –Neil Young\, The Hollywood Reporter\nKorean Cinema NOW 2021 will be presented through a virtual format.

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:82750-21171605@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:20210316T090733 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210328T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210328T220000 SUMMARY:Meeting:East Quad Multicultural Council Presents: Women's History Month Scavenger Hunt DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Women's History Month with the Residential College RAs and Abeng Multicultural Council!

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.

At the most basic level\, it is how we take care of ourselves. The food we eat\, the exercise we do to stay healthy\, and the medicine we take when we get sick. However\, self-care is more than that. It includes all the things we do to stay happy and healthy. That could be taking a walk or a run outside\, or doing some arts and crafts. Maybe it’s playing a favorite sport with friends\, or trying a new recipe. \n\nDuring this virtual Family Week\, we’ll learn about how people in the ancient Mediterranean practiced self-care. We’ll even try out some of their techniques for ourselves.\n\nWe kick off the week with an introductory tour about ancient self-care. Be sure to join us on Sunday\, March 28\, at 2 PM. We will take a closer look at some objects in the Kelsey collection related to health and wellness. Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96083862910.

Gothic Art\, Realism and Genre: Thoughts on Eric Auerbach DESCRIPTION:This Zoom session of the Premodern Colloquium will run at 2:00PM to accommodate time differences.\n\nThis paper poses questions about the hierarchies and genres implicit or explicit in present day writing about Gothic art and architecture. A useful starting point is Eric Auerbach's work on mimesis and realism. Auerbach's brilliant literary insights into sermo humilis and the Judeo-Christian rejection of the ancient orders and hierarchies of rhetoric raise important objections. The first is that complex works of literature and art can seldom be pinned down just to one rhetorical mode or level of style. Rhetoric was not a single philosophy or body of knowledge to be adopted or repudiated\, but a set of practices that varied ad usum\, according to need and occasion.\n\nHere I propose that the medieval Christian dispensation adhered to all the genera dicendi and rhetorical modes\, and this opinion is tested with particular regard to epideictic or 'display' rhetoric and its relationship to 'realism'. It was Roland Barthes who noted that the 'reality effect' stemmed in part from epideisis or 'beautiful description'. This seems to offer an alternative route to realism (in so far as we can think causally about this matter) to the frank low speech often identified as sermo humilis. Praise and great speech are also discussed here with a view to understanding the ways that\, morally and metaphysically\, the canonical monuments of realism in Gothic Europe aimed not to diminish their subjects through naked displays of power\, but to involve them in a rhetorical discourse of magnification whose aims were fundamentally political and social. \n\nFinally\, how can we recapture the great speech of medieval art without taking recourse to post-medieval notions of the Sublime? And to what extent can such great speech be theorized historically?

Until 2011\, Myanmar had spent over 40 years under military rule\, bringing the country into deep poverty and isolating it from the rest of the world. Despite a transition to democracy in the early 2010s\, the political climate has remained unstable.\n\nThe situation has escalated since the coup\, with the Myanmar military and police attempting to take control through inhumane violence. However\, despite the risks\, people of all ethnicities\, ages and professions are marching in protest against the coup. Many essential workers\, including truck drivers and train station workers\, have also gone on strike to protest.\n\n\nIn this talk\, we will discuss Myanmar’s political history\, its historical heritage\, and specific events that have happened since the start of the coup. In addition\, we will discuss ways in which we - and you - can help the peaceful protesters in Myanmar.\n\nThe speaker’s bios\, as well as links to fundraising efforts to help the protesters in Myanmar\, are included in this flyer.

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:82750-21171606@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:20210316T090733 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210329T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210329T220000 SUMMARY:Meeting:East Quad Multicultural Council Presents: Women's History Month Scavenger Hunt DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Women's History Month with the Residential College RAs and Abeng Multicultural Council!

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.

At the most basic level\, it is how we take care of ourselves. The food we eat\, the exercise we do to stay healthy\, and the medicine we take when we get sick. However\, self-care is more than that. It includes all the things we do to stay happy and healthy. That could be taking a walk or a run outside\, or doing some arts and crafts. Maybe it’s playing a favorite sport with friends\, or trying a new recipe. \n\nDuring this virtual Family Week\, we’ll learn about how people in the ancient Mediterranean practiced self-care. We’ll even try out some of their techniques for ourselves.\n\nWe kick off the week with an introductory tour about ancient self-care. Be sure to join us on Sunday\, March 28\, at 2 PM. We will take a closer look at some objects in the Kelsey collection related to health and wellness. Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96083862910.

Our data showed a clear order of grammatical marking acquisition among these children and supported findings on the linguistic-specificity of morphological development such that early-and late-acquired markers in English are not acquired in that same order in Mandarin. Negative mei2\, bu4\, Posessive -de\, Classifiers\, and the Aspect marker- le were the earliest acquired markers\, followed by Modal\, Negative bie2\, Adverb\, Sentence Final Particles\, Resultative Verb Compound\, and Aspect markers guo4 and yao4. Complex Clauses and the Aspect marker zheng4 were acquired the latest. Furthermore\, consistent with previous cross-linguistic studies\, the development patterns of a wide range of Mandarin grammatical markers indicate that markers that are more perceptually salient\, obligatory\, have clear form-meaning mappings and often appear in isolation or utterance-final position ware acquired earlier than others. \n\nChi-Lin\n\nTitle: \nTheory-of-Mind Development in Young Deaf Children With Early Hearing Provisions\n\nAbstract:\nDeaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children born to hearing parents have\nprofound theory-of-mind (ToM) delays\, yet little is known about how providing hearing assistance early in life\, through cochlear implants and hearing aids\, influences their ToM development. We thus addressed (a) whether young DHH children with early hearing provision developed ToM differently than older children did in previous research and (b) what ToM understandings characterize this understudied population. Findings from 84 three- to six-year-old DHH\nchildren primarily acquiring spoken language demonstrated that accumulated hearing experience influenced their ToM\, as measured by a five- step ToM scale. Moreover\, language abilities mediated this developmental relationship: Children with more advanced language abilities\, because of more time using cochlear implants and hearing aids\, had better ToM growth. These findings demonstrate the crucial relationships among hearing\, language\, and ToM for DHH children\nacquiring spoken language\, thereby addressing theoretical and practical questions about ToM development.

Since then\, LIGO and Virgo have observed dozens of gravitational waves merging black holes and neutron stars\; accurate models of these waves are crucial for learning as much as possible about the waves’ astronomical sources. Models of binary black holes require numerical relativity\, because all analytic approximations fail near the time of merger. While these models are sufficiently accurate for today’s observatories\, avoiding bias in interpreting the waves observed by next-generation observatories on Earth and in space will require next-generation numerical relativity models. In this talk\, I will present some recent results in modeling observations of binary black holes withnumerical relativity\, and I will discuss progress toward simulating merging black holes with SpECTRE\, a next-generation numerical relativity code under development by the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes collaboration.\n UID:82106-21036679@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82106 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210322T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210329T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210329T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Letters to a Young Brown Girl Poetry Reading & Book Discussion DESCRIPTION:Barbara Jane Reyes is the author of Letters to a Young Brown Girl (BOA Editions\, Ltd.\, 2020).

Early Islamic World 2: Family Archives and Female Spaces of Intimacy DESCRIPTION:Family Archives and Female Spaces of Intimacy in Early Modern Isfahan\n\nIn seventeenth-century Isfahan\, the authorship of anthologies was a male prerogative. This talk wonders about women who have been excluded from the act of writing their own anthology to consider gendered literacy and female friendship through an anthology collected in the library of the Urdubadi family of bureaucrats and poets. The decisive role of a female family member\, the Urdubadi widow\, whose pilgrimage to Mecca is recorded in this anthology\, divulges her love for a female companion who was forced to leave Isfahan due to rumors circulating about their friendship. How are we to interpret this inclusion? Reading this family history as an archive\, we will see how anthologies document social and affective bonds with kin and with friends\, acts that make the city legible for us and for themselves.

The discipline of metrology\, or measurement science\, describes a measurement result as a value and the uncertainty around that value. We propose a systematic process for considering the sources of uncertainty in a scientific study that can be applied to virtually all\n\ndisciplines of scientific research. We suggest that a research study can be characterized by how sources of uncertainty in the study are reported and mitigated. This approach provides a path for sharing experimental data on complex systems such as biological network processes. A serious challenge for such studies involves collecting experimental metadata and protocol details.\n\nBio:\n\nDr. Plant is currently a NIST Fellow\, focusing on cell imaging and theoretical frameworks for understanding complex biological response in cells. She is an ex officio member of the NIBIB National Advisory Council\, a Fellow of the AIMBE\, and an AAAS Fellow.

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:82750-21171607@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:20210316T090733 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210330T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210330T220000 SUMMARY:Meeting:East Quad Multicultural Council Presents: Women's History Month Scavenger Hunt DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Women's History Month with the Residential College RAs and Abeng Multicultural Council!

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.

At the most basic level\, it is how we take care of ourselves. The food we eat\, the exercise we do to stay healthy\, and the medicine we take when we get sick. However\, self-care is more than that. It includes all the things we do to stay happy and healthy. That could be taking a walk or a run outside\, or doing some arts and crafts. Maybe it’s playing a favorite sport with friends\, or trying a new recipe. \n\nDuring this virtual Family Week\, we’ll learn about how people in the ancient Mediterranean practiced self-care. We’ll even try out some of their techniques for ourselves.\n\nWe kick off the week with an introductory tour about ancient self-care. Be sure to join us on Sunday\, March 28\, at 2 PM.

Contesting the presumption that a smoothly-communicated physical and spiritual liberation defined the program\, Professor Miao argues that recurrent reciprocal misunderstandings deeply marked the exchange\, because of the American teachers’ and Chinese students’ profoundly different conceptions of kinesthesia\, pedagogical approach\, and freedom. These missteps generated new methods of dance modernization and significantly shifted the history of Chinese modern dance.\n \n Fangfei Miao\, dance scholar\, choreographer\, and dancer\, is Assistant Professor in the Department of Dance at the University of Michigan. She received her PhD from UCLA and MFA from the Beijing Dance Academy. Dr. Miao is working on her book manuscript that investigates the productivity of embodied cross-cultural missteps in transforming dance history in China’s Reform Era. Her publications\, in both English and Chinese\, have featured in Dance Research Journal\, Asian Theater Journal\, Journal of Contemporary Research in Dance\, and Journal of the Beijing Dance Academy. With extensive professional training in both western and Chinese dances\, she has toured internationally and staged her choreography in New York City\, Los Angeles\, Auckland\, and Beijing\, among others.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

In dissonance to mainstream social constructs\, they make people uncomfortable and help them project their fears and anxieties. My work seeks to understand the permanence and fluidity of monstrosity in its physical and psychological perceptions and representations in early medieval literature\, taking as samples Beowulf\, the Wonders of the East\, and the Aberdeen Bestiary. \n\nI argue that while monstrosity is inherent to the monstrous individual\, it might have been perceived as permanent but also as changing. For instance\, dragons\, whose monstrosity is embedded in their physicality and inextricable from it\, bear their monstrosity permanently\; however\, Beowulf\, the hero\, bears a fluid monstrosity since he displays chivalrous traits when not in combat while assuming a monstrous nature when acquiring colossal – non-human – strength to overpower Grendel. Through this fluctuation\, I try to understand the relationship between humans and monsters\, and also the capacity of humans to harbor monstrosity.

Hence\, at the forefront of condensed matter research is the goal of understanding and controlling their emergent behavior at the smallest length and time scales possible. Due to the strongly intertwined nature of electrons and the crystal lattice in these materials\, manipulating the atomic structure allows one to tune interactions and create novel electronic and magnetic phases.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe how light can be used to engineer structural distortions in quantum materials on ultrafast time scales\, providing a powerful pathway to realize non-equilibrium states of matter\, often with functionalities not accessible statically. First\, I will illustrate the application of this approach\, based on the resonant excitation of optical phonons and terahertz frequencies\, to the antiferromagnet CoF2. By exploiting lattice anharmonicities\, a transition to a ferrimagnetic phase could be driven with light\, whose magnetization is 100-fold larger than the equilibrium limit. Second\, I will demonstrate that the coupling of optically driven phonons to long-wavelength strain leads to a metastable ferroelectricity in the quantum paraelectric SrTiO3\, with the symmetry-broken state remaining for up to hours after excitation. These experiments provide a basis for the rational design of non-equilibrium functionalities\; integrated with targeted materials synthesis\, such control promises to unlock new physical phenomena and enable next-generation quantum and ultrafast technologies.\n\n \n UID:83078-21266960@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/83078 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210311T113607 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210330T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210330T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Functional MRI 2020-21 Symposium Speaker - Alexander Weigard\, Ph.D. DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The Group Iterative Multiple Model Estimation (GIMME) framework has emerged as a promising method for characterizing connections between brain regions in functional neuroimaging data. Two of the most appealing features of this framework are its ability to estimate the directionality of connections between network nodes and its ability to determine whether those connections apply to everyone in a sample (group-level) or just to one person (individual-level). However\, there are outstanding questions about the validity and stability of these estimates\, including: 1) how recovery of connection directionality is affected by features of data sets such as scan length and autoregressive effects\, which may be strong in some imaging modalities (resting state fMRI\, fNIRS) but weaker in others (task fMRI)\; and 2) whether inferences about directionality at the group and individual levels are stable across time. This talk will provide an overview of the GIMME framework and describe relevant results from a largescale simulation study that assesses directionality recovery under various conditions and a separate project that investigates the temporal stability of GIMME’s inferences in the Human Connectome Project data set. Analyses from these projects demonstrate that estimates of directionality are most precise when autoregressive and cross-lagged relations in the data are relatively strong\, and that inferences about the directionality of group-level connections\, specifically\, appear to be stable across time. Implications of these findings for the interpretation of directional connectivity estimates in different types of neuroimaging data will be discussed.\n\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\n https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwoceGtrz8pHtK1iOVRbvfJz6vx2rMaa-gU UID:82938-21225235@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82938 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Brain,Cognitive Neuroscience,Imaging,Neuroimaging,Neuropsychology,Neuroscience,Psychology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210414T183031 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210330T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210330T163000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Google Presents: Cloud Panel \"Voices of Cloud\" DESCRIPTION:Cloud Panel \"Voices of Cloud\"\nMarch 30th @ 4:00PM PT / 6:00PMCT / 7:00PM ET\n\nInterested in learning more about Google Cloud?

Towards this end\, my group is focused on developing efficient catalysts that convert CO2 to CO\, methanol or formic acid\,. My talk will first describe our mechanistic studies on known CO2 hydrogenation catalysts\, whereby mechanistic insight is gleaned through thermochemical studies\, and allows for tuning the product selectivity. We also have uncovered a unique mechanism for CO2 hydrogenation\, whereby CO2 must first bind to the ligand before subsequent reduction occurs. I will then discuss how we have used the same thermochemical approach to study the mechanism of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction in a combined carbon capture & reduction system. Finally\, I will present a novel ligand scaffold that\, when put on Co\, allows for both the hydrogenation of CO2 to formate and the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formate\; this is unique in that no H2 is produced electrocatalytically. The collective work underscores the importance of the effective hydricity as a parameter of interest and in using thermochemical parameters to rationalize and uncover alternative mechanisms. The studies presented are contextualized in developing an understanding of how to rationally design energy-efficient CO2 reduction catalysts.\nCaroline Saouma (University of Utah) UID:76344-19705211@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/76344 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210414T123042 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210330T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210330T173000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Virtual Information Session about Revenue Agent and Revenue Agent Pathways DESCRIPTION:We are hosting a series of virtual information sessions on ourRevenue Agent and Revenue Agent Pathway positions with the IRS' Small Business and Self-Employed Division.\n\nSpeak to Revenue Agents that are working in these positions and gain a better understanding of the work\, the day-to-day\, and what brought them to the IRS.

Varieties of Populists: Paths to Power and Implications for Regime Stability DESCRIPTION:Scholars have spent more time arguing over definitions of populism than attempting to clearly identify and differentiate among populists. Jones and Menon develop a typology to identify types of populists based on two key dimensions: 1) their position within the political landscape\; and 2) the degree of their ideological commitment to populism. They argue that these distinctions are key to our understanding of how populists gain power and their impact on regime stability and change.\n \nPauline Jones is professor of political science and director of the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum at the University of Michigan (U-M). Previously\, she served as director of U-M’s Islamic Studies Program (2011-14) and of the International Institute (2014-20). Her work has contributed broadly to the study of institutional origin\, change\, and impact with an empirical focus on the former Soviet Union—primarily the five Central Asia states of Kazakhstan\, Kyrgyzstan\, Tajikistan\, Turkmenistan\, and Uzbekistan. Currently\, she is exploring the influence of religion on political attitudes and behavior in Muslim majority states with an emphasis on the relationship between religious regulation\, religiosity\, and political mobilization.\n \nAnil Menon is a political science PhD candidate and Gerald R. Ford Predoctoral Fellow at U-M. His dissertation explores the long-term political legacy of trauma across three different contexts: China\, Germany\, and Northern Ireland.\n \nRegistration is required for this Zoom webinar at https://myumi.ch/QArDq.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

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. The workshop will focus on collectively building a more trans-inclusive idea of body positivity based on our experiences and identities. 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:82750-21171608@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:20210316T090733 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210331T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210331T220000 SUMMARY:Meeting:East Quad Multicultural Council Presents: Women's History Month Scavenger Hunt DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Women's History Month with the Residential College RAs and Abeng Multicultural Council!

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.

At the most basic level\, it is how we take care of ourselves. The food we eat\, the exercise we do to stay healthy\, and the medicine we take when we get sick. However\, self-care is more than that. It includes all the things we do to stay happy and healthy. That could be taking a walk or a run outside\, or doing some arts and crafts. Maybe it’s playing a favorite sport with friends\, or trying a new recipe. \n\nDuring this virtual Family Week\, we’ll learn about how people in the ancient Mediterranean practiced self-care. We’ll even try out some of their techniques for ourselves.\n\nWe kick off the week with an introductory tour about ancient self-care. Be sure to join us on Sunday\, March 28\, at 2 PM. We will take a closer look at some objects in the Kelsey collection related to health and wellness. Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96083862910.

Literature in Albania from Communism to the Present DESCRIPTION:Under the communist regime (1944-91)\, Albanian literature followed two separate and antithetical paths: on the one hand\, writers turned to socialist realism for official literature that supported the state’s propaganda\, while on the other authors writing in prisons or labor camps joined an underground literature of opposition to Enver Hoxha’s regime. Subject to harsh censorship and persecution\, some oppositional writers managed to escape Albanian Communism\, going into exile to publish books critical of the regime. Those who remained in Albania were silenced until the collapse of the regime. \n\nComing from three different generations\, the authors on this panel share their experiences of the totalitarian regime and its aftermath\, and reflect on the role of literature in Albanian society: how does literature represent and transfigure experiences of violence and oppression? What is the place of exile in national literature? What is the role of literature in the memory culture of a post-communist society? What\, indeed\, is the status of literature in contemporary Albania?\n \nLisandri Kola is an author\, scholar\, and translator. He taught Albanian Literature of Exile at the University of Michigan (Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures)\, and Albanian Modern Literature\, History of Albanian Sonnet\, Translation Studies\, and Comparative Literature at the University of Tirana. Kola is the author of many books\, among them *A Poem of Love* (Albanian-English-Serbian)\, *Flutrat vdesin në maj/Butterflies Die in May*\, *Sonete/Sonnets*\, and *Saga e nji dite/Saga of a Day\,* among many others. He has translated into Albanian language\, Longinus\, Alda Merini\, Fernando Pessoa\, Luigi Pirandello\, Saint Anthony of Padua\, and has in progress Rime of Guido Cavalcanti. Selected poetry and prose of L. Kola are translated into Montenegrin\, English\, German\, and French languages. He was awarded the Albanian National Prize Át Zef Pllumi in poetry (2014). Lisandri Kola obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Tirana in 2014. See his poetry at http://www.kens.al/revista/kolonakens/a_poem_of_love.pdf\n \nLuljeta Lleshanaku is an Albanian poet. She studied Albanian philology & literature at the University of Tirana\, and later she graduated with a MFA from Warren Wilson College\, USA. She attended The International Writing Program at the University of Iowa in 1999 and was awarded a writer’s fellowship from the Black Mountain Institute at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas (2008-09). She is the author of nine poetry collections in her language and fourteen other collections published in translation in other languages. Five of her books in translation are published in English. Her last poetry collection in English is *Negative Space*\, published by New Directions in the USA and by Bloodaxe Books in the UK\, was a winner of the English PEN award\, a finalist for the GRIFFIN International Poetry Prize 2019 in Canada\, and a finalist for PEN America 2019. She has worked as journalist\, TV author\, university lecturer\, and a historical researcher. See her poetry at https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/luljeta-lleshanaku\n \nPrimo Shllaku was born in Shkodra\, a town in the north of Albania of great cultural primacy\, which lasted until the time the communist regime was set up. His father was a theater director and uncle a prominent translator of ancient Greek and Latin. Shllaku studied Albanian language and literature at the State University of Tirana. For several years he taught in different schools and different levels of school in Tirana as well as in different villages. Beginning in the late 1980s he taught at the University of Shkodra. Later he taught Albanian and French in Greece as well as Albanian at the University of Belgrade. In 2010 he received a doctorate in literary sciences\, after which he has been teaching a History of Esthetical Doctrines at the University of Fine Arts in Tirana.

He subsequently performed in independent films and on stage at Brown University where he received a 2016 liberal arts degree in international politics\, media\, and cultural studies. He also trained in China in techniques of Chinese opera and Japanese performance. Throughout this time\, Vang engaged in social justice and media activism\, and published works related to the visibility and inclusion of Southeast Asian Americans and\, more broadly\, Asian Americans in Hollywood and mainstream popular culture. His work covered such topics as representation\, race\, gender\, sexuality\, production\, geopolitics\, refugees\, criminal justice\, mass incarceration. Vang presented at multiple conferences related to these topics\, and publicly lectured or gave workshops in over thirty venues\, domestically and overseas including the University of Toronto\, Beijing University\, Minzu University\, and Zhongshan University. \n\nMeanwhile\, Vang worked at MSNBC with The Rachel Maddow Show in broadcast journalism\, at The Economist in print journalism\, and at First Look Media in documentary filmmaking with Laura Poitras.

The material properties of translucent objects challenge many of our assumptions in robotic perception. For example\, the most common RGB-D sensors in robotic applications require the sensing of an infrared structured pattern from a Lambertian reflectance of surfaces. As such\, transparent and translucent objects often remain invisible to robot perception. Thus\, introducing methods that would enable robots to correctly perceive and then interact with the environment would be highly beneficial. Light-field (or plenoptic) cameras\, for instance\, which carry light direction and intensity\, make it possible to perceive visual clues on object surfaces from reflection and refraction. In this dissertation\, we explore the inference of transparent and translucent objects from plenoptic observations for robotic perception and manipulation. We propose a novel plenoptic descriptor\, Depth Likelihood Volume (DLV)\, that incorporates multi-view plenoptic observations to represent depth. The depth of a pixel is then represented as a distribution rather than a single value. Through the DLV distribution\, we can infer the layered translucency structure of the scene with transparent and translucent objects for robot manipulation tasks. Building on the DLV\, we present the Plenoptic Monte Carlo Localization algorithm\, PMCL\, as a generative method to infer 6-DoF poses of objects in settings with translucency. PMCL is able to localize both isolated transparent objects and opaque objects behind translucent objects using a previously computed DLV. We evaluate PMCL by comparing x estimated poses against ground-truth poses and demonstrate the use of these pose estimates for object pick and place tasks. The uncertainty induced by transparency and translucency for pose estimation increases greatly as scenes become more cluttered. However\, robot grasping does not necessarily require estimation of 6-DoF object poses. Given multi-view plenoptic observations\, we propose GlassLoc to localize feasible grasp poses over a pile of transparent objects. In GlassLoc\, a convolutional neural network is introduced to learn DLV features for classifying grasp poses with grasping confidence. GlassLoc also suppresses the reflectance by checking pixel consistency over multi-view plenoptic observations\, which leads to more stable DLV representation. We evaluate GlassLoc in the context of a pick-and-place task for transparent tableware in a cluttered tabletop environment. We further observe that the transparent and translucent objects will generate distinguishable features in the light-field epipolar image plane\, which provides information about the object location. With this insight\, we propose Light-field Inference of Transparency\, LIT\, as a two-stage generative-discriminative refractive object localization approach. In the discriminative stage\, LIT uses convolutional neural networks to learn reflection and distortion features from photorealistic-rendered light-field images. The learned features guide generative object location inference through local depth estimation and particle optimization. With the LIT pipeline\, we also create the light-field dataset for the task of transparent objects recognition\, segmentation\, and pose estimation.

In this study\, we investigate mental health distress among essential workers during the Coronavirus pandemic across race and ethnicity. We evaluate individual responses to the Patient Health Questionnaire and General Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire using unique\, nationally representative\, data set. Our findings suggest that Black essential healthcare workers disproportionately report symptoms of anxiety\; while\, Latino essential health-care workers disproportionately report symptoms of depression. Additionally\, we find that being a Black or Latino essential non-health care worker is associated with higher levels of distress related to anxiety and depression. These findings highlight the additional dimensions to which Black and Hispanic Americans are disproportionately being affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. Furthermore\, it calls into question how essential worker classifications\, compounded by US unemployment policies\, is potentially amplifying the mental health trauma experienced by workers.\n\nFor information on how to watch this lecture and sign up for the SBEE mailing list to receive notice of upcoming events\, please visit the SBEE website:\nhttps://umbee.github.io/SBEE_Seminars UID:83034-21257031@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/83034 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210414T183029 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210331T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210331T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Underestimated Founder Pitch Competition presented by VC OpenDoor + Open Scout DESCRIPTION:Open Scout and VC OpenDoor have teamed up to host a virtual underestimated founder pitch competition to give underrepresented startup founders the opportunity to pitch live to a group of esteemed investors on March 31st.

Platooning is associated with two\, major societal benefits: environmental\, through lowered fuel consumption\, CO2 emission\, and traffic efficiency\, and safety improvement\, through automated driving. Quantification of fuel consumption in platoons depends on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of the system\, specifically the resistance or drag force of trucks. While optimization of fuel consumption is pivotal in truck platooning\, analysis of CFD is computationally expensive\, especially when uncertainties are present\, due to geometrical variability of trucks and platoons as well as in wind magnitude and direction. \n\nThis research proposes an artificial intelligence-based surrogate model which enables near real-time optimization of platoon configurations based on fuel consumption and impacts on pavement conditions. Attendees will learn how a deep neural network (DNN) model can be trained using data from CFD simulations that utilize high-performance computing (HPC) resources.

A search and matching equilibrium model. DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWhereas marriage is still the dominant framework to raise a family\, competitive partnerships emerge. Facing the increasing proportion of couples likely to cohabit rather than marry\, some provincial governments of Canada have enhanced the commitment related to cohabitation to protect women and children in case of separation. To understand the effects of such a policy on couple formation\, assortative matching and within-household allocation of resources\, we need an equilibrium model of marriage. In this paper\, I propose a search and matching model of marriage with two types of contracts where men and women draw utility from private consumption and leisure\, and may invest in a match specific good. The model is estimated on Canadian data. I then use this model to show how enhancing commitment of cohabiting couples might change the entry and exit rate into cohabitation and marriage\, impact assortative matching and the within-household allocation of the total resources.\n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:81204-20872030@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81204 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210323T161608 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210331T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210331T173000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Backpacking Conversation - Couzens DESCRIPTION:Come join MLCA Mas in the CAMEO Lounge on March 30th and March 31st from 3 PM - 5:30 PM for a conversation around backpacking and class selection!

This project closely examined one marsh complex that lies adjacent to Piermont Village along the Hudson River Estuary in New York. Village residents wanted to better understand how Piermont Marsh would buffer their village from storm-induced flooding and waves\, and whether a proposed plan to restore native cattails within a small area of the Phragmites-dominated marsh would lessen its buffering capacity.\n\nIn this webinar\, two members of the project team will explain how the team used state of the art modeling methods to simulate marsh vegetation and storm impacts produced by a series of past and future storm scenarios. By looking back at Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and projecting how much worse the damage could have been without the marsh\, the research team was able to put a dollar value on Piermont Marsh’s buffering services. They will share key takeaways from the research and explain how the findings are informing planning for the marsh and shoreline infrastructure.

Nonlinear in nature\, these mode transitions typically result from the existence of multiple stable plasma states. When developing new plasma sources\, transitions between states generally occur in mysterious and oftentimes unexpected ways. Unpredictable mode transitions are particularly problematic to the design of new plasma-based aerospace technologies\, such as electric propulsion systems. Detailed models of mode transition physics and scaling are critical to ensuring new systems behave as expected within their desired operating range. In this talk I will present experimental and theoretical research into the nature of mode transitions for two emerging technologies. The first is the helicon plasma thruster\, an electrodeless propulsion concept relying on radiofrequency plasma heating and acceleration through a magnetic nozzle. The second\, the plasma magnetoshell\, is an aerocapture concept using magnetized plasma to generate drag on a spacecraft entering a planetary atmosphere. I will highlight the potential for new data science techniques to significantly advance the discovery and analysis of plasma mode transitions.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Justin Little is an Assistant Professor in the William E. Boeing Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics at the University of Washington. He received a BS in Physics and Aero-space engineering from the University of California\, Irvine\, and a PhD in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. Prof. Little’s research focuses on understanding how low-temperature plasma physics influence the performance and design of emerging electric propulsion technologies. His research methods emphasize a close relationship between reduced-order theoretical modeling and innovative experiment design to explore the fundamental scaling of dominant physics.

Two such “big data” resources that are reshaping how we understand environmental health are electronic health records and human cohorts with genome-wide molecular phenotyping. Each provides a unique perspective that is moving the field closer towards “personalized” insights into environmental health risks. Here I will talk about a series of studies which utilize electronic health records and molecularly phenotyped cohorts to investigate vulnerable populations\, gene-environment interactions\, and epigenetic biomarkers of environmental sensitivity. Together these studies are helping us to understand environmental health risks in a new light.\n\nShort bio:\n\nDr. Cavin Ward-Caviness is a Principal Investigator in the Public Health and Integrated Toxicology Division of the US Environmental Protection Agency. With a background in computational biology and environmental epidemiology\, Dr. Ward-Caviness seeks to understand the environmental factors which influence health in vulnerable populations and the molecular mechanisms that influence environmental health risks. The Ward-Caviness lab uses a variety of “big data” approaches\, and Dr. Ward-Caviness is the PI of the EPA CARES research resource\, which allows researchers to study environmental health effects in vulnerable patient populations\, e.g. individuals with heart failure\, using large electronic health record databases. Dr. Ward-Caviness is also interested in how epigenetics and metabolomics can serve as an early indicator of adverse health effects from chemical and social environmental exposures and in particular how molecular biomarkers can give us insight into how the environment may accelerate the aging process and thus contribute to chronic disease. By integrating molecular and clinical data\, Dr. Ward-Caviness seeks to understand environmental health as a way to advance personalized medicine and reduce health disparities.\n\nhttps://umich-health.zoom.us/j/93929606089?pwd=SHh6R1FOQm8xMThRemdxTEFMWWpVdz09 UID:83395-21369780@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/83395 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Cardiovascular,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Environment,Free,Human Genetics,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Mathematics,Medicine,Pediatrics,Physics,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Off Campus Location - https://umich-health.zoom.us/j/93929606089?pwd=SHh6R1FOQm8xMThRemdxTEFMWWpVdz09 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210414T183038 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210331T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210331T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Connecting with Michigan Daily Alum DESCRIPTION:This is a private event for current Michigan Daily (MD) staff.\n\nDuring this session\, we will...\n1.

It is now well established that the molecular genetics of such rhythms within the cell consist of interwoven transcriptional-translational feedback loops involving about 15 clock genes\, which generate circa 24-h oscillations in many cellular functions at cell population or whole organism levels. We will present statistical methods and modelling approaches that address newly emerging large circadian data sets\, namely spatio-temporal gene expression in SCN neurons and rest-activity actigraph data obtained from non-invasive e-monitoring\, both of which provide unique opportunities for furthering progress in understanding the synchronicity of circadian pacemaking and address implications for monitoring patients in chronotherapeutic healthcare.

This channel counteracts the standard expenditure-switching channel of exchange rates\, and can result in contractionary devaluations. We study the implications of the real income channel for monetary policy. \n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:81281-20879920@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81281 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210414T183027 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210331T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210331T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Piper Sandler Overview - 2022 Summer Analyst Investment Banking Opportunities DESCRIPTION:Please join us to learn more about our firm and 2022 summer internship opportunities in investment banking. \n\nAt Piper Sandler\, we’re only as successful as the talent we bring together.

Social scientists dating back at least as far as Gunnar Myrdal have argued that support for egalitarian policies would increase substantially if Whites only knew about the plight of African Americans. Similarly\, Black support for policies of racial redistribution is also less than monolithic. For example\, some surveys find only tepid support among Blacks for affirmative action or efforts to “defund the police.” Would this support increase if White and Black Americans were informed about the enormous racial wealth gap? We examine this question with two survey experiments fielded online by CloudResearch. Study 1 (N=1\,908) was fielded at the height of the George Floyd demonstrations in June of 2020. Subjects were randomly assigned either to a control condition\, where they were merely provided a definition of the racial wealth gap\, or to one of two treatment conditions that provided a defintion of the racial wealth gap. They were also provided with textual and visual information on the current size of the Black/White racial wealth gap based on information from the 2019 Survey of Consumer Finances. In general\, we find that the treatment conditions do increase information levels on the perceived size of the racial wealth gap\, but they do not increase support for racially redistributive policy proposals. In a second experiment\, scheduled for February of 2021\, we seek to replicate the results of the 2020 experiment and add two additional treatment conditions highlighting the fact that the median household headed by a Black college graduate has less wealth than the median household headed by a White high school dropout. This Study 2 experiment represents an even stronger test of the hypthesis that public support for racially redistributive policies would increase if Americans only knew the truth. We discuss the implications of our findings for the prospects of racial reconciliation in our conclusion.\n\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/99761388651\nOr iPhone one-tap : \n US: +13017158592\,\,99761388651# or +13126266799\,\,99761388651# \nOr Telephone:\n Dial(for higher quality\, dial a number based on your current location):\n US: +1 301 715 8592 or +1 312 626 6799 or +1 646 876 9923 or +1 253 215 8782 or +1 346 248 7799 or +1 669 900 6833 \n Canada: +1 647 374 4685 or +1 647 558 0588 or +1 778 907 2071 or +1 204 272 7920 or +1 438 809 7799 or +1 587 328 1099 \nWebinar ID: 997 6138 8651\n International numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/accYW7peUD\n\nOr an H.323/SIP room system:\n H.323: \n 162.255.37.11 (US West)\n 162.255.36.11 (US East)\n 115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n 115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n 213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n 213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n 103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n 103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n 149.137.40.110 (Singapore)\n 64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n 69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n 65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n 207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n 149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\n Meeting ID: 997 6138 8651\n SIP: 99761388651@zoomcrc.com UID:81873-20982979@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81873 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:african and afroamerican studies,LSA Collegiate Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210106T145158 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210331T161500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210331T170500 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.

Anzaldúa’s writings and life place her somewhat precariously within discussions of both American Philosophy and disability studies. Yet\, to borrow a concept from Rosemarie Garland-Thomson (2011)\, it is precisely due to the “misfit” character of Anzaldúa’s career-long activism\, coalition building\, and writings\, that she is an important figure to analyze within these areas of study. Accordingly\, to place Anzaldúa’s work in relation to American philosophy and disability critique\, I turn specifically to several key concepts from Anzaldúa’s oeuvre that center questions of embodiment\, illness\, and colonial history in a manner that\, I argue\, add resources to a queer crip critique of the ablebodied heteronormativity of institutional medicine across the Americas.\n\nSPEAKER BIO\n\nAndrea Pitts (they/them) is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina\, Charlotte. Their research interests include women of color feminisms\, critical prison studies\, and decolonial theory. They are the author of Nos/Otras: Gloria E. Anzaldúa\, Multiplicitous Agency\, and Resistance (SUNY Press August 2021)\, and co-editor with Mariana Ortega and José Medina of Theories of the Flesh: Latinx and Latin American Feminisms\, Transformation\, and Resistance (Oxford University Press 2020) and Beyond Bergson: Examining Race and Colonialism through the Writings of Henri Bergson with Mark Westmoreland (SUNY Press 2019).

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:82750-21171609@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:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210401T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210401T230000 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.

At the most basic level\, it is how we take care of ourselves. The food we eat\, the exercise we do to stay healthy\, and the medicine we take when we get sick. However\, self-care is more than that. It includes all the things we do to stay happy and healthy. That could be taking a walk or a run outside\, or doing some arts and crafts. Maybe it’s playing a favorite sport with friends\, or trying a new recipe. \n\nDuring this virtual Family Week\, we’ll learn about how people in the ancient Mediterranean practiced self-care. We’ll even try out some of their techniques for ourselves.\n\nWe kick off the week with an introductory tour about ancient self-care. Be sure to join us on Sunday\, March 28\, at 2 PM. We will take a closer look at some objects in the Kelsey collection related to health and wellness. Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96083862910.

Trump’s China policy and the coronavirus pandemic have made U.S. firms acutely aware of the consequences of sudden supply chain disruptions caused by their heavy dependence on China over the years. On the other hand\, Japanese firms have been methodically diversifying and localizing their supply chain and production strategies.\n \nMasaaki Kotabe holds the Washburn Chair Professorship in International Business and Marketing at the Fox School of Business at Temple University.

Studying the realization of supersymmetry in these theories leads to consider a generalization of the notion of self-duality on manifolds with a vector field. This allows to construct a framework unifying equivariant Donaldson-Witten theory and Pestun's theory on S4 and its generalizations. I will also discuss the action of S-duality in these theories.

Both of these behaviors require the activity of the cytoskeleton. Dynamic cell shape changes\, like the formation of filopodia\, allow distant cells to target and engage in signaling with each other. One example of this is the patterning of sensory bristles on the thorax of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. In this tissue\, cellular protrusions are thin\, dynamic\, actin-based\, filopodia-like structures which extend from the basal surface of the patterning epithelia. In this talk\, Ginger Hunter\, Ph.D.\, will present data supporting a role for these basal signaling filopodia in establishing the length scale of the bristle pattern. Cell contractility is an essential feature of epithelial tissue integrity. Hunter shows that contractility\, mediated by actin and non-muscle myosin II\, is critical for the efficiency of Notch signaling. Together\, these results support a role for cell shape and actomyosin contractility in Notch signaling during bristle patterning.\n\nSpeaker:\nGinger Hunter is an Assistant Professor of Biology at Clarkson University in Potsdam\, New York. She earned her B.S. from the University of Virginia and her Ph.D. from Duke University\, where she studied mechanosensing in developing tissues in the fly embryo. She continued her studies into the mechanisms of emergent features of developing tissues during her postdoctoral training at the MRC-LMCB at University College London and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Hunter opened her laboratory at Clarkson in 2018. One goal of her lab is to understand the regulation of cell morphology\, such as the activity of signaling filopodia\, that contribute to the robust formation of tissue wide patterns.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nInforming Anti-Human Trafficking Efforts with Operations Research Models\n\nAbstract:\nHuman trafficking is a prevalent and malicious global human rights issue\, with an estimated 24 million victims currently being exploited worldwide. A major challenge to its disruption is the fact that human trafficking is a complex system interwoven with other illegal and legal networks\, both cyber and physical. Efforts to disrupt human trafficking must understand these complexities and the ways in which a disruption to one portion of the network affects other network components. As such\, operations research models are uniquely positioned to address the challenges facing anti-human trafficking efforts. This presentation will discuss ongoing interdisciplinary anti-human trafficking efforts focusing on prevention\, network disruption\, and survivor empowerment. Specifically\, we will discuss 1) the adaptions to current network interdiction models that are necessary for adequately representing human trafficking contexts and 2) a budget-constrained optimization model that maximizes the societal value of locating additional shelters for human trafficking survivors. \n\nBio:\nDr. Kayse Lee Maass is an Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering and leads the Operations Research and Social Justice Lab at Northeastern University. Her research focuses on the application of operations research methodology to social justice\, access\, and equity issues within human trafficking\, mental health\, housing\, and supply chain contexts. This includes determining how to most effectively allocate limited resources to disrupt human trafficking networks\, increase access to services for survivors\, and assess the efficacy of coordination among anti-human trafficking stakeholders. Dr. Maass’s research is supported by multiple federal grants\, centers interdisciplinary survivor-informed expertise\, and has informed local\, national\, and international policy and operational decisions.\nDr. Maass earned a PhD in Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) from the University of Michigan and completed her postdoctoral studies in the Department of Health Sciences Research at the Mayo Clinic. She is a recipient of multiple awards\, including: the INFORMS Judith Liebman Award\, Industrial Engineering Professor of the Year at Northeastern University\, NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program Award\, and the INFORMS Section on Location Analysis Dissertation Award-Runner Up. She was also named a ‘Rising Star’ among INFORMS’ Powerful\, Pragmatic Pioneers. Dr. Maass currently serves on the INFORMS Subdivision Council\, as INFORMS Section on Location Analysis Secretary\, and is part of the U.N. University Delta 8.7 Markets Working Group.\nBass is a fellow of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and a senior member of the IEEE and of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Dr. Bass is the incoming Secretary-Treasurer Elect of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. She is a member of the editorial board for three journals: Human Factors\, IIE Transaction on Occupational Ergonomics and Human Factors and the Journal of Cognitive Engineering and Decision Making. She was the inaugural editor of the IEEE Trans. on Human-Machine Systems. She is a peer reviewer for several international research programs.

The Cassini-Huygens mission revealed Titan to be surprisingly Earth-like\, with active geological processes and opportunities for organic material to have mixed with liquid water on the surface in the past. These attributes make Titan a singular destination to seek answers to fundamental questions about what makes a planet or moon habitable and about the prebiotic chemical processes that led to the development of life here on Earth. \n \nNASA's Dragonfly New Frontiers mission is a rotorcraft lander designed to perform long-range in situ investigation of the chemistry and habitability of this fascinating extraterrestrial environment. Taking advantage of Titan's dense atmosphere and low gravity\, Dragonfly will fly from place to place\, exploring diverse geological settings to measure the compositions of surface materials and observe Titan's geology and meteorology. Dragonfly will make multidisciplinary science measurements at dozens of sites\, traveling ~100 miles during a 3-year mission to characterize Titan's habitability and to determine how far organic chemistry has progressed in environments that provide key ingredients for life.\n\nPlease join us!

Her lecture is titled\, \"Understanding the Effect of the HAIL Scholarship on Student Decisions.\"\n\nHigh-achieving\, low-income students attend selective colleges at far lower rates than upper-income students with similar achievement. Behavioral biases\, intensified by complexity and uncertainty in the admissions and aid process\, may explain this gap. In a large-scale experiment\, we test an early commitment of free tuition at a flagship university. The intervention did not increase aid: rather\, students were guaranteed before application the same grant aid that they would qualify for in expectation if admitted. The offer substantially increased application (68 percent vs 26 percent) and enrollment rates (27 percent vs 12 percent). The results suggest that uncertainty\, present bias\, and loss aversion loom large in students’ college decisions.\n\nProfessor Dynarski’s career has focused on making education at all levels more accessible and more equitable\, regardless of economic status. She is a professor of public policy\, education and economics at the University of Michigan\, where she holds appointments at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, School of Education\, Department of Economics and Institute for Social Research and serves as co-director of the Education Policy Initiative. She is a faculty research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Dynarski earned an A.B. in Social Studies from Harvard\, a Master of Public Policy from Harvard and a Ph.D. in Economics from MIT.

While single-cell analyses have revealed the existence of cell-to-cell variation in the levels and activities of the molecules responsible for gene regulation\, the source of such variation is still poorly understood. The Downing Lab studies how genome replication contributes to epigenetic heterogeneity across stem cell populations. We recently developed a new sequencing method (Repli-Bisulfite Sequencing) that enables analysis of DNA methylation within newly replicated strands of DNA over time. Using this method\, we discovered that much of the methylation heterogeneity observed within human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is temporal in nature and associated with DNA replication. Here\, we employ bioinformatic analyses to explore how properties of post-replication DNA methylation dynamics relate to well-established features of the genome and the broader chromatin landscape. Our findings reveal that unique patterns of methylome replication associate with distal regulatory regions throughout the genome\, enrich for cytosine residues dynamically methylated across cell types\, and coincide with the location of stem cell-specific transcription factor binding and chromatin architectures. We also find correlations between sub-cell cycle kinetics in DNA methylation and the divergence of bulk methylation patterns observed during multiple cell generations and natural aging. Taken together\, our studies suggest that (epi)genome replication may act as an important source of (temporal) regulatory variation in hESCs while\, simultaneously\, conferring susceptibility to epigenetic drift throughout the human lifespan. Our lab is also interested in understanding how the chemical and biophysical microenvironment influences adult cell behavior and phenotype through epigenetic gene regulatory mechanisms. We hope to use this information in the design of next-generation biomaterials. The second part of this presentation will describe how focal adhesions and cell-mediated forces contribute to inefficiencies observed during the acquisition of stemness from somatic cell states.\n\n \n\nBiography: Tim Downing has been on the faculty at UC Irvine since 2016 and holds a primary appointment in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. He also holds a courtesy appointment in the Department of Microbiology & Molecular Genetics. Tim received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering in 2008 from Northwestern University and Ph.D. in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley in 2013 under the mentorship of Dr. Song Li. As a Ford Foundation and UNCF/Merck Fellow\, Tim completed his postdoctoral training in stem cell epigenomics with Dr. Alexander Meissner at Harvard University and the Broad Institute (Cambridge\, Massachusetts). The Downing Lab focuses on understanding gene regulation during tissue development\, regeneration\, and disease progression. Building on this information\, the lab also aims to develop molecular tools and biomaterials to synthetically regulate the epigenome for better control over cell fate and behavior.

Although many pathways for hydrogen production exist\, the primary barrier to widespread use of H2 remains the costs associated with H2 synthesis\, storage and distribution. If costs can be reduced\; however\, there are additional challenges to the design of combustion systems that use high concentrations of hydrogen. You might think H2 is the simplest combustion fuel\, so we should be able to build H2 engines with high confidence in their performance. However\, H2 is a tricky gas that likes to defy expectations. Some examples of the anomalous combustion behavior of hydrogen will be presented here. The experimental results include performance and imaging data from H2 spark-ignition engine studies and fundamental studies of hydrogen ignition. The discussion focuses on understanding the hydrogen properties important for improving predictive performance of H2-fuels engines.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nProfessor Margaret Wooldridge is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering and the Director of the Dow Sustainability Fellow Program at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in mechanical engineering (M.S.) from Stanford University and her B.S. M.E. degree from the University of Illinois at Champagne/Urbana. Prof. Wooldridge was on the faculty at Texas A&M University in 1995 before joining the University of Michigan in 1998. Her research program spans diverse areas where high-temperature chemically reacting systems are critical\, including power and propulsion systems\, fuel chemistry\, and synthesis methods for advanced nanostructured materials. Her research team has pioneered methods for characterizing fundamental fuel properties and performance in modern spark-ignition and gas turbine engines. She is a 2013 recipient of the Department of Energy Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award and a fellow of the Combustion Institute\, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and of the Society of Automotive Engineers.

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:82750-21171610@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:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T230000 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.

At the most basic level\, it is how we take care of ourselves. The food we eat\, the exercise we do to stay healthy\, and the medicine we take when we get sick. However\, self-care is more than that. It includes all the things we do to stay happy and healthy. That could be taking a walk or a run outside\, or doing some arts and crafts. Maybe it’s playing a favorite sport with friends\, or trying a new recipe. \n\nDuring this virtual Family Week\, we’ll learn about how people in the ancient Mediterranean practiced self-care. We’ll even try out some of their techniques for ourselves.\n\nWe kick off the week with an introductory tour about ancient self-care. Be sure to join us on Sunday\, March 28\, at 2 PM. We will take a closer look at some objects in the Kelsey collection related to health and wellness. Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96083862910.

Yet\, religious practice has developed in relation to longstanding sacred geographies and networks in South Asia\, intersecting with modern identity formations in unusual and unexpected ways. In this conference\, we will explore the relationship between religion\, identity\, historical networks and sacred landscapes to understand the formation of religious thought and practice in Pakistan. Through a multidisciplinary approach\, this conference aims to cultivate a discussion of transnationalism\, sectarianism\, marginality\, inter and intra-religious dynamics. We will engage with the work of scholars and artists from Pakistan\, Europe and the United States concerned with a variety of religious groups in Pakistan\, and the complex ways that religious practice has been shaped through interactions between distinct identities\, not only along the lines of religion\, but also gendered and social difference. While focusing on Pakistan\, we hope to challenge prevalent assumptions about the current configuration of borders and explore deeper and continually relevant connections between distinct religious spaces and practices in South Asia.

We estimate a differentiated products demand model for this market using aggregate data on market shares\, prices\, and product characteristics and consumer-level data on demographics\, purchases\, and stated second choices. We estimate marginal costs under the conduct assumption of Nash-Bertrand pricing. We relate trends in price-cost margins to industry trends in market structure and the composition of products\, like the rise of import competition\, introductions of the minivan and SUV\, and changes in automobile characteristics. We find that although prices rose over time\, concentration and market power decreased substantially. Consumer welfare increased over time. The fraction of the total surplus accruing to consumers also increased.\n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:81745-20949401@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81745 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210323T145409 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Noah Simon\, Associate Professor\, Department of Biostatistics\, University of Washington DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Non-parametric modeling of regression functions is an important contemporary topic. Many machine learning (ML) methods can be viewed through the lens of non-parametric estimation. Often we aim to learn a predictive model or decision rule and must select model complexity to balance bias and variance. The optimal model complexity is based on the number of available samples as well as the complexity of the underlying truth. In ML\, model complexity is generally selected based on empirical performance (rather than theoretical results)\, nevertheless theory can help us understand the limits of model performance\, and motivate methodologic ideas.\n\nWhen building ML models with large datasets generally mini-batch based stochastic optimization methods are used: There\, a model is iteratively updated based on random small subsamples of our full dataset. This is often framed theoretically by imagining we have a dataset that is continually updated with batches of new samples. This is the so-called “online setting” and may also be an appropriate theoretical framework to use when we imagine that the performance of our method is compute constrained rather than data constrained.\n\nAs noted\, the optimal complexity of our model (for balancing bias and variance) is dependent on the sample size. Thus\, in the online scenario\, it is natural to consider a model of growing complexity (as more observations are obtained). This brings up further questions: How do we appropriately increase complexity? Do we need to store and re-use old observations as complexity increases? How computationally efficient can we be without losing predictive performance?\n\nIn this talk\, I consider these questions in a simplified model. I consider estimating a regression function that is smooth (lives in a Sobolev ellipsoid). I propose an almost painfully simple stochastic gradient descent method (in a linear space of growing dimension) and show that 1) this estimator achieves the minimax L2 estimation error rate\; and 2) Under some assumptions\, this estimator uses the minimal memory of any estimator that achieves that minimax error rate. I relate this to more classical sieve/projection estimators\, and to other stochastic gradient-based methods and ideas. These results also hold for estimating regression functions in an RKHS.\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/94350208889. There will be a virtual reception to follow.

The stelae are carved with images of ordinary Roman-Egyptians and many are also inscribed with their names\, ages\, death dates\, and messages of comfort and cheer to mourners. Maybe more surprising to modern museum-goers is that the grave markers were also brightly painted with a life-like palette of colors. \n\nIn this talk\, conservators at the Kelsey Museum will describe their work to preserve and study the stelae\, including the scientific techniques they’re using to study paint colors and some of the surprising discoveries their work has revealed.\n\nKelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators\, staff members\, researchers\, and graduate students talking about their recent research or current projects. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors. They take place at noon on the first Friday of every month.\n\nJoin us via Zoom at:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/94856640990\nPasscode: Kelsey UID:81824-20961285@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81824 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ancient Egypt,archaeology,conservation,Free LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210402T111313 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cortical Computations for Learning DESCRIPTION:Host: Sam Kwon UID:82438-21098219@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82438 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Research,Science,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210308T102048 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture Series. Ruptured Ecologies: How Thai Settler Colonialism is Reshaping the Northern Uplands & Indigenous Futures DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Please register at http://bit.ly/3q8h5sf\n\nThe literature on colonialism in mainland Southeast Asia tends to focus on the European colonial project\, in part because of unease among scholars around applying the concept of indigeneity in the region. However\, an increasingly robust scholarly and activist conversation around indigeneity in Southeast Asia (see: Morton et al. 2016\; Baird 2018) invites a parallel examination of the states and politics against which indigeneity is articulated. In this paper\, I examine the Thai state’s upward expansion into the northern uplands over roughly the past half-century through the lens of settler colonial theory (Wolfe 2006\; Veracini 2011\; Whyte 2017\, 2018). Focusing primarily on state conservation and development interventions\, I argue that this upward expansion has been – and continues to be – a settler colonial project. I draw on extended ethnographic fieldwork in and beyond two Akha communities in Chiang Rai Province to show how state interventions rupture and replace Indigenous ecologies with settler ecologies\; facilitate (ethnic) Thai settlement while continuing to deny Uplanders’ land claims\; disadvantageously integrate Uplanders into the market economy\; and create generational rifts between elderly Uplanders and the youth on whom they depend to both care for them and carry on their cultural traditions. Together\, these interventions reshape upland landscapes and social relations in ways that reinforce state claims to upland spaces and threaten both the place-based livelihoods and “collective continuance” (Whyte 2017\, 2018) of Upland Indigenous communities – a hallmark of settler colonialism. In closing\, I briefly discuss emergent forms of adaptation and resistance in Upland communities.\n \nDaniel B. Ahlquist is an Assistant Professor in Michigan State University’s James Madison College of Public Affairs. As a teacher and a scholar\, he is motivated by an interest in human-environment relationships and the ways political and economic inequalities between social groups play out through uneven relationships to the environment. His current research projects explore the cross-cutting themes of state conservation and development agendas\, agrarian change\, displacement\, and changing forms of inequality in Southeast Asia. He holds a Ph.D. in Development Sociology from Cornell University.\n \n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Key among these data sources is the rapidly growing volume of digitized specimen records from natural history collections. The world’s herbaria house an estimated 400\,000\,000 specimens\, and as the number of online records – currently at ~60\,000\,000 – continues to grow\, these data provide excellent information on species distributions\, changes in distributions over time\, phenology and a host of traits. Integration of information from specimen records with phylogenies\, climate data and other resources enables new questions to be addressed while also providing new perspectives on longstanding questions in ecology and evolutionary biology. Although challenges to linking heterogeneous data remain\, new advances are enabling the use of herbarium and other museum data in novel ways. Through a series of case studies\, I will illustrate some of the many uses to which herbarium specimen data are currently being applied as well as some of the resources being developed to enable their use. These case studies link and analyze specimen data and related heterogeneous data sources to address a range of evolutionary and ecological problems.\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.

With these family collections\, Kathryn Babayan tells a new history of the city at the transformative moment it became a cosmopolitan center of imperial rule. Bringing into view people's lives from a city with no extant state or civic archives\, Babayan reimagines the archive of anthologies to recover how residents shaped their communities and crafted their urban\, religious\, and sexual selves.\n \nBabayan highlights eight residents—from king to widow\, painter to religious scholar\, poet to bureaucrat—who anthologized their city\, writing their engagements with friends and family\, divulging the many dimensions of the social\, cultural\, and religious spheres of life in Isfahan. Through them\, we see the gestures\, manners\, and sensibilities of a shared culture that configured their relations and negotiated the lines between friendship and eroticism. These entangled acts of seeing and reading\, desiring and writing converge to fashion the refined urban self through the sensual and the sexual—and give us a new and enticing view of the city of Isfahan.\n\nZoom registration: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwtf-2vpzwjHdzMifsfP-NwwJ_OCbwZIeUu UID:82740-21171581@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82740 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,Iiss Lecture Series,Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar,islamic studies,Middle East Studies,Virtual,Workshop LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210127T122846 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T140000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Phondi Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Phondi is a discussion and research group for students and faculty at U-M and nearby universities who have interests in phonetics and phonology.

We have not actually travelled very far from our home planet and we are only beginning to understand physiological changes and the potential for using science and engineering to overcome those challenges. For example\, we know we on Earth are protected by the van Allen belts. Can we find a way to protect astronauts who travel beyond the 36\,000 miles of van Allen belt coverage from the radiation? Can we overcome the loss of blood cells\, muscle mass\, proprioception\, and immune system function? Some of these are scientific questions\; others are engineering problems to solve. NASA and her international partners must work together to solve these problems if we are ever to travel back to the Moon\, on to Mars\, and beyond. This generation of scientists and engineers are going to be the people who overcome these challenges. A side benefit is for people all over the world to overcome differences and work together on this greatest of adventures.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Clark is currently the Associate Chair of the Department of Movement Science in the School of Kinesiology here at UM. She is also an Adjunct Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Aerospace Engineering. However\, these are both “retirement jobs” as she spent most of her career at NASA headquarters\, first as the International Space Station (ISS) Senior Scientist and then as the Chief Scientist for Human Space Flight. She worked with scientists from all over the world to communicate research needs and identify areas for international collaboration. Her particular interest was in “Human Factors”\, all the elements necessary for the health\, safety\, and efficiency of crews in space. One of the primary tasks was to identify the problems associated with long-duration space flight and use the ISS to find solutions to those problems. These include biological countermeasures for the undesirable physical changes as well as the psychological issues that may occur in response to the closed\, dangerous environments while traveling in space or living on other planets. One result of this work was a talk she gave regularly on the speakers’ circuit called\, “The 55 Reasons We Can’t Go.” UID:83340-21346225@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/83340 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Aerospace,aerospace engineering LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201201T142853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210402T150000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Differences Beyond Identity: Perceived Construal Distance and Interparty Animosity in the United States DESCRIPTION:Professor Sameer's research unpacks the complex interrelationships among the culture of social groups\, the cognition of individuals within these groups\, and the connections that people forge within and across groups.

Learning from Memory: A Transatlantic Conversation with Susan Neiman and Michael Rothberg DESCRIPTION:This lecture is being presented by the Center for European Studies and Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures as the Werner Grilk Lecture in German Studies.\n\nWhat can we learn from comparing different memory cultures? In particular\, how might we think about Holocaust memory and the Germans’ working through the past in relation to colonial and postcolonial memory\, but also to the memory of racism and slavery in the United States? How can we foster memorial cultures that create transnational spaces for solidarity and the recognition of different and often difficult histories? Working from separate vantage points\, Susan Neiman (Einstein Forum) and Michael Rothberg (UCLA) have both intervened forcefully in these debates in recent months and years. We look forward to bringing them together for a transatlantic conversation with CES Director Johannes von Moltke (U-M).\n\nBorn in Atlanta\, Georgia\, Susan Neiman studied philosophy at Harvard and the Freie Universität Berlin\, finishing her Ph.D. under the direction of John Rawls and Stanley Cavell. She was assistant and associate professor at Yale\, and associate professor at Tel Aviv University\, before becoming director of the Einstein Forum in 2000. She is a member of the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaft and the American Philosophical Society. Neiman is the author of over a hundred essays and eight books\, translated into many languages\, most recently *Learning from the Germans: Race and the Memory of Evil*.\n\nMichael Rothberg is the 1939 Society Samuel Goetz Chair in Holocaust Studies and professor of English and comparative literature at the University of California\, Los Angeles. His latest book is *The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators* (2019)\, published by Stanford University Press in their “Cultural Memory in the Present” series. Previous books include *Multidirectional Memory: Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonization* (2009)\, *Traumatic Realism: The Demands of Holocaust Representation* (2000)\, and\, co-edited with Neil Levi\, *The Holocaust: Theoretical Readings* (2003). With Yasemin Yildiz\, he is currently completing *Inheritance Trouble: Migrant Archives of Holocaust Remembrance* for Fordham University Press.\n \nRegistration for this Zoom webinar is required at https://myumi.ch/pdglQ\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

Aronson-Rath oversees FRONTLINE’s acclaimed reporting on air and online and directs the series’ editorial vision\, executive producing over 20 documentaries each year on critical issues facing the country and world. Under her leadership\, FRONTLINE has earned two Oscar nominations\, and has won every major award in broadcast journalism\, including Peabody Awards\, Emmy Awards\, an Institutional Peabody Award\, and the first Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Gold Baton awarded in a decade. For 16 years\, Aronson-Rath has served as a Livingston Awards judge honoring reporters under the age of 35 and identifying the next generation of journalism leaders.\n\nAt a time when broad skepticism of the news media has reached new highs\, Aronson-Rath has cemented FRONTLINE’s reputation as a source of trustworthy and consistent investigative journalism. She has expanded FRONTLINE’s reporting capacity\, spearheaded an initiative to bolster local journalism in news deserts\, and guided FRONTLINE’s evolution from a longstanding documentary series to a timely\, multi-platform journalism organization that is committed to uncovering vital stories and telling them in new ways. The New York Times described Aronson-Rath’s collaborative model for investigative journalism as “increasingly important … as a way to reach new viewers and produce more in-depth reports.”\n\nAronson-Rath has led an ongoing charge for transparency in journalism – including through the FRONTLINE Transparency Project\, an effort to open up the source material behind FRONTLINE’s reporting. She served as the sole public media representative on the Knight Commission on Trust\, Media\, and Democracy\, a blue-ribbon panel that published a landmark report on the causes and consequences of growing distrust in democratic institutions\, including the press.\n\nFor this speaker series event\, Aronson-Rath will be in conversation with Lynette Clemetson\, the Director of Wallace House\, Knight-Wallace Fellowships and the Livingston Awards for Young Journalists at the University of Michigan. A longtime journalist\, she was a correspondent for Newsweek magazine in the U.S. and Asia\, a national correspondent for The New York Times\, and senior director of strategy and new initiatives at NPR.

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:82750-21171611@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:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210403T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210403T230000 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.

At the most basic level\, it is how we take care of ourselves. The food we eat\, the exercise we do to stay healthy\, and the medicine we take when we get sick. However\, self-care is more than that. It includes all the things we do to stay happy and healthy. That could be taking a walk or a run outside\, or doing some arts and crafts. Maybe it’s playing a favorite sport with friends\, or trying a new recipe. \n\nDuring this virtual Family Week\, we’ll learn about how people in the ancient Mediterranean practiced self-care. We’ll even try out some of their techniques for ourselves.\n\nWe kick off the week with an introductory tour about ancient self-care. Be sure to join us on Sunday\, March 28\, at 2 PM. We will take a closer look at some objects in the Kelsey collection related to health and wellness. Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96083862910.

Yet\, religious practice has developed in relation to longstanding sacred geographies and networks in South Asia\, intersecting with modern identity formations in unusual and unexpected ways. In this conference\, we will explore the relationship between religion\, identity\, historical networks and sacred landscapes to understand the formation of religious thought and practice in Pakistan. Through a multidisciplinary approach\, this conference aims to cultivate a discussion of transnationalism\, sectarianism\, marginality\, inter and intra-religious dynamics. We will engage with the work of scholars and artists from Pakistan\, Europe and the United States concerned with a variety of religious groups in Pakistan\, and the complex ways that religious practice has been shaped through interactions between distinct identities\, not only along the lines of religion\, but also gendered and social difference. While focusing on Pakistan\, we hope to challenge prevalent assumptions about the current configuration of borders and explore deeper and continually relevant connections between distinct religious spaces and practices in South Asia.

Reading and listening audiences take this ecumenical or pluralistic message as characteristic of such poets and of Sufism at large. The purpose of my talk is to examine this premise through a focus on specific Sufi poets from the Punjab\, using their work to analyze how they imagined and configured Muslim identities. Important questions emerging from such an investigation include how religious identity is configured\, what purposes lie in behind choices of linguistic register\, and how one expresses emotions and values in different contexts.\n\nJamal J.

Join us over Zoom to explore the Kelsey Museum from the comfort of your home.\n\nThe theme of this week's tour is \"Rome Through the Eyes of Its Emperors.\"\nFor over 500 years\, Rome was ruled by emperors. Some emperors enjoyed decades in power\; others lasted less than a year. Being an emperor could be a dangerous job! Join us on this live Zoom tour to learn what the early emperors of Rome saw when they looked out over their vast empire\, and what contemporary Roman writers had to say about them. Decide for yourself if you would have liked living in the early Roman empire\, whether or not togas and sandals are your style.\n\nZoom link:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/98615763784 UID:82677-21155691@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82677 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Archaeology,Free LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210302T092245 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210403T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210403T170000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Honors Admissions AMA DESCRIPTION:This event is open to anyone looking for more information about the LSA Honors Program or life at U-M in general.\n\nYou can access the Zoom meeting via the following link: https://myumi.ch/mnVrz UID:82624-21147748@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82624 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:#Honors Program,Admissions,Prospective Undergraduate Students LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210322T171221 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210403T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210403T170000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Virtual Coffeehouse DESCRIPTION:Come join MLCA Cara on Saturdays at 4 PM in a virtual coffeehouse environment where she attempts to recreate the atmosphere of a coffee shop and create a space for students to study and meet each other!
