By reading texts contrapuntally\, Said argues\, we are in a better position to understand the presence of colonialism in British novels such as the reference to Australia in David Copperfield or India in Jane Eyre. Furthermore\, contrapuntal reading must take account of both processes\, that of imperialism and that of resistance to it. This method of reading is still relevant and can serve as a corrective to today’s liberal discourse of inclusion and diversity. Current DEI efforts in the universities\, corporations and elsewhere as a result of systemic racism and exclusion laid bare by the pandemic and police violence are commendable\, but have their limits. Much like the push for multiculturalism in an earlier conjuncture\, the liberal discourse of DEI runs the risk of reifying differences and (un)consciously upholds the status quo without interrogating and dismantling the very system that made those differences possible in the first place. In the gesture of acceptance and tolerance\, liberalism continues to sustain white privilege and espouse colonial benevolence. And if we can place postwar liberalism as the dominant ideology in the United States responsible for establishing Area Studies as part of its anti-Communist effort\, a benign racism has been fundamental to the formation of our disciplines and knowledge production.\n \n Contrapuntal reading\, I suggest\, is useful in understanding the constituting and co-figuring of metropolitan and colonial relations that while addressing the minoritarian position of the colonized\, does not normalize the status of the colonizer. Furthermore\, contrapuntal reading can be extended to analyze the transition and translation between empires\, or what I am calling the transimperial to contextualize\, for example\, the shift from Japanese to American empire in postwar East Asia. Contrapuntal reading\, however\, is not simply descriptive in pointing out the presence and traces of empire in metropolitan and colonial texts. It requires imagination (and luck!) in juxtaposing and associating texts that are normally taught separately in different contexts to illuminate their contrapuntal relations. This webinar will present concrete examples from literature\, film\, popular culture and social theory intended for undergraduate teaching.\n \n Leo Ching is Professor in the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Duke University. His research interests include colonial discourse studies\, postcolonial theory\, Japanese mass culture\, and theories of globalization and regionalism.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

This talk investigates Lagrangian (mobile) control of traffic flow at local scale (vehicular level)\, and how self-driving vehicles will change traffic flow patterns. Professor Bayen describes approaches based on deep\, reinforcement learning presented in the context of enabling mixed-autonomy mobility. This lecture also explores the gradual and complex integration of automated vehicles into the existing traffic system. Attendees will learn the potential impact of a small fraction of automated vehicles on low-level traffic flow dynamics\, using novel techniques in model-free\, deep reinforcement learning\, in which the automated vehicles act as mobile (Lagrangian) controllers to traffic flow.\n\nIllustrative examples will be presented in the context of a new\, open-source computational platform called FLOW\, which integrates state-of-the-art microsimulation tools with deep-RL libraries on AWS EC2.

Using the bitterly-contested Algerian Civil War as a case study\, Joseph Ford argues that\, while literature is frequently understood as an illuminating and emancipatory tool\, it can\, in fact\, restrain our understanding of the world during a time of crisis and further entrench the polarized discourses that lead to conflict in the first place. Ford demonstrates how Francophone Algerian literature\, along with the cultural and academic criticism that has surrounded it\, has mobilized visions of Algeria over the past thirty years that often belie the complex and multi-layered realities of power\, resistance\, and conflict in the region.\nJoseph Ford is Lecturer in French Studies and Director of the Center for the Study of Cultural Memory at the Institute of Modern Languages Research in London. He is the author of Writing the Black Decade: Conflict and Criticism in Francophone Algerian Literature (2021). He specializes in contemporary French and Francophone Literature and Culture\, with specific interests in Algeria and what has become known as the Algerian Civil War or \"Black Decade\" of the 1990s. His wider research interests are in postcolonial studies\, world literature\, literary translation\, and French and Francophone intellectual culture of the 20th and 21st centuries.\nImen Neffati is Junior Research Fellow at Pembroke College\, Oxford. She is a historian of modern France and North Africa\, with a broader interest in religion\, secularism\, and modernity. Her research concerns the study of religious identities\, particularly Muslim identities in North Africa and France. She is currently building up a project that examines inheritance law and debates over its reform in Tunisia. She is also working on a monograph that examines the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and its predecessor Hara Kiri.\n\nAdvance Registration Required: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUpduqvqD8uEtfuYmNPvI6kBQ3ofB4gKwkc UID:82652-21153693@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82652 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Jewish Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210503T080858 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210514T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210514T213000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Nam Center NEKST Graduate Conference | 8th International Conference of NextGen Korean Studies Scholars (NEKST) DESCRIPTION:Full conference details: https://ii.umich.edu/ncks/news-events/events/conferences---symposia/8th-international-conference-of-nextgen-korean-studies-scholars.html\n\nPlease note: This session will be held virtually EST through Zoom.

Several smORF-encoded microproteins have been characterized and implicated in a variety of critical processes\, including regulation of mRNA decay\, DNA repair\, and muscle formation. Thus\, rigorous and comprehensive annotation of protein-coding smORFs is critical to our understanding of basic biology and physiology\, as well as disease. We recently developed an improved workflow that integrates de novo transcriptome assembly and ribosome profiling to overcome obstacles with previous methods to more confidently annotate thousands of novel smORFs across multiple human cell lines\, including hundreds encoded on putative non-coding RNAs. Over 1\,500 smORFs are found in two or more cell lines\, and ~40% lack a canonical AUG start codon. Evolutionary conservation analyses suggest that hundreds of smORF-encoded microproteins are likely functional. We also find that smORF-derived peptides are detectable on human leukocyte antigen complexes\, positioning smORFs as a source of novel antigens. The annotation of protein-coding smORFs radically alters the current view of the human genome’s coding capacity and will provide a rich pool of unexplored\, functional human genes.\n\nBIO: Thomas received his B.S. in Biological Engineering from MIT and trained in Prof. JoAnne Stubbe’s laboratory\, where he studied the mechanism of ribonucleotide reductase. He then recieved his Ph.D. in Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics from Caltech as an NIH NRSA predoctoral fellow under the mentorship of Prof. Peter Dervan. His thesis work focused primarily on characterizing the effects of DNA binding pyrrole-imidazole polyamides on DNA replication in prostate cancer cells. Thomas is currently an NIH NRSA postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Alan Saghatelian’s laboratory\, where he has developed an integrative platform combining ribosome profiling and de novo transcriptome assembly to discover functional smORF encoded microproteins in the human genome.

It was one of the most horrific examples of white supremacist terrorism in the history of the United States and knowledge of the event was actively suppressed for over fifty years. From May 31 to June 1\, 1921\, the Massacre saw the murder of hundreds of Black residents of the Greenwood neighborhood—a bustling and vibrant community known then as Black Wall Street—and more than one-thousand homes and businesses burned to the ground.\n \nAs we approach the 100-year anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre\, we invite you to revisit a moment in 1999 when the New York Times Magazine published Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Brent Staples' article \"Unearthing a Riot\,\" which was the most significant national media coverage of the event at the time. Portraits of survivors made by renowned photojournalist and U-M alumnus Fred Conrad accompanied this important essay. In this program\, Staples and Conrad will be joined by U-M professor\, best-selling author\, and historian Scott Ellsworth\, author of newly published book The Ground Breaking: An American City and Its Search for Justice\, who will facilitate a conversation that will expand our understanding of what has been involved in making the history of Tulsa more visible and\, by extension\, illuminating the ever-present reality of racial terror and the resiliency of Black communities in our country.\n \nAlso featuring an introduction by Matthew Countryman\, chair of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, and a Q&A facilitated by Jennifer Friess\, UMMA associate curator of photography.\n \nThis program will be livestreamed on YouTube at 4 p.m. on May 17. No registration required.   Brent Staples\, an editorial writer for The New York Times\, was awarded the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing. He is the author of the memoir Parallel Time and holds a Phd in Psychology from The University of Chicago.\n \nFred Conrad is a photographer specializing in photojournalism and portraiture. He holds his BFA in Photography from the University of Michigan and has made photographs for prestigious and far reaching news organizations such as Sygma\, Time Magazine\, Newsweek\, New York Magazine\, Rolling Stone\, Ms. Magazine and The New York Times. \n \nBorn and raised in Tulsa\, Scott Ellsworth has been writing about the Tulsa race massacre for forty-five years. His forthcoming book\, The Ground Breaking: An American City and Its Search for Justice\, will be published on May 18\, 2021. Ellsworth teaches in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan.\n \nThe Ground Breaking: an American City and its Search for Justice​ will be available for sale through the UMMA Shop (please call 734-647-0521)\, Literati Bookstore in Ann Arbor\, and Blackstone Bookstore in Ypsilanti.

Chemical Engineering\n\nSpeaker Profile: Professor Lin’s research lies at the intersection of biology and engineering with a focus on microbial systems\, particularly microbial communities\, using systems biology and synthetic biology approaches. Her lab aims to employ engineering tools and skills such as microfluidics and quantitative modeling to help unlock mysteries of complex natural microbial communities\, especially those closely associated with environment and health issues (e.g. human microbiome). In parallel\, the research group exploits design principles nature utilizes and develops synthetic microbial consortia technologies to address critical needs faced by our society such as sustainable biofuel and chemical production.\n\nAbstract: Microbes are everywhere in nature and they live in diverse communities that show remarkable metabolic capabilities and robustness. One research thrust in my lab has been to employ engineering related tools to study these naturally occurring microbial consortia in order to discover underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms. In particular\, we have been developing a technological pipeline\, based on nanoliter-scale microfluidic droplets\, to co-cultivate sub-communities and characterize member interactions that shape the community structure and function. In this talk\, I will present a number of technological modules we have created and are developing. I’ll also discuss how we are applying this toolbox\, jointly with our collaborators\, to the investigation of several microbiomes closely related to human health or the environment.\n\nZoom Meeting: https://umich.zoom.us/j/92773919973 UID:84064-21619785@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84064 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Drug Discovery,Life Science,Pre Med,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210513T121505 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210519T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210519T103000 SUMMARY:Auditions:Desis Café DESCRIPTION:Desis Café is a virtual event that provides a space where DESIS Lab participants from across the globe can meet\, talk about their activities\, expectations\, thoughts\, research\, and projects. \n\nThis event is hosted by Stamps Professor Audrey G.
