What conceptual\, political\, and interpersonal tools might hinder or support such a project? And what pitfalls and possibilities should be avoided or embraced in pursuing better ways of learning and living? Given the racist origins and supremacist legacies of Japanese studies\, approaching this field through an antiracist lens can seem fraught\, if not doomed. Nevertheless\, our Japanese Studies and Antiracist Pedagogy Project (JSAP) represents an experiment that attempted to do just this. As part of this project\, we taught a mixed undergraduate/graduate course in the Winter semester of 2021\, “Antiracism and Japanese Culture\,” which entailed teaching and learning a number of lessons about “Japan\,” analytical tools\, politics\, and the various intellectual and institutional constraints that shape our understanding. This webinar features presentations and reflections on the JSAP enterprise by the project’s co-organizers\, Sophie Hasuo\, Reginald Jackson\, and Rachel Willis. In addition to explaining the course’s specific pedagogical underpinnings\, goals\, and organization\, we will also discuss various philosophical and pragmatic aspects of developing such a collaborative project. Influenced by Moten and Harney’s notion of fugitive planning in The Undercommons\, we outline lessons learned from working together to imagine how best to study and thrive within and beyond the ivory tower.\n \n Reginald Jackson is an Associate Professor of Pre-modern Japanese Literature at the University of Michigan. His research is at the intersection of literature\, art history\, and performance studies.\n\nThe following text will be included on all II events unless you indicate otherwise:If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation had officially outlawed slavery in Texas and the other states in rebellion against the Union almost two and a half years earlier on January 1\, 1863. Enforcement of the Proclamation generally relied on the advancement of the Union troops. The anniversary of the June 19\, 1865 date recognizes the day that the announcement by Union Army Major General Gordon Granger\, proclaiming freedom from slavery and the end of the Civil War was delivered to Galveston\, Texas. \n\nThe Juneteenth holiday is celebrated on Saturday\, June 19\, 2021\, but we invite you to join us for our celebration on Friday\, June 18th\, from 8:30 am - 1:30 pm.\n\nShare your photos from past Juneteenth celebrations and events organized by your community and/or family!!

They were marginalized in the development of schooling\, ignored in debates over child labor\, and presumed to lack the inherent innocence ascribed to white children. Drawing evidence from the urban centers of Boston\, New York\, and Philadelphia\, Webster's innovative research yields a powerful new history of African American childhood before the Civil War\, showing that Black children nevertheless carved out physical and social space for play\, for learning\, and for their own aspirations. \n\nDr. Webster joins us in conversation with Clements Library Director Paul Erickson. This episode coincides with the celebration of Juneteenth and a growing national recognition of understudied histories and experiences of African Americans in the past. \n\nRegister at myumi.ch/gjgzR\n\n*This episode of the Bookworm is generously sponsored by an anonymous Clements Supporter.*\n\n*The Clements Bookworm is a webinar series in which panelists and featured guests discuss history topics.

Yet slavery has not disappeared. Globally\, an estimated 27–40 million persons are victims of involuntary servitude. What if these contemporary forms of human labor exploitation constitute a “Third Slavery”? \n\nIntroductions will be given by Dr. Earl Lewis\, director of the Center for Social Solutions and the Thomas C. Holt Distinguished University Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies\, History\, and Public Policy. \n\nThe roundtable discussion will be chaired by Dr. Daina Ramey Berry\, the Oliver H. Radkey Regents Professor of History at the University of Texas at Austin. Panelists include: \n\nDavid W. Blight\, the Sterling Professor of History and director of the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery\, Resistance\, and Abolition at Yale University\; \n\nAmbassador (ret.)

It enhances a healthy person's abilities and supports a physically challenged person's daily life by providing powered hip\, knee\, and/or ankle motions with different control designs. State-of-art powered exoskeletons use trajectory-based\, kinematic control methods for specific tasks. This type of control is appropriate for paraplegia\, where the exoskeleton provides complete assistance. However\, it overly constrains the volitional motion of people with remnant voluntary ability\, e.g.\, stroke patients. In contrast\, trajectory-free control methods are now being developed to provide task-invariant partial assistance for practicing/relearning leg motions or performing a continuum of activities in varying environments. Robotics systems like powered exoskeletons can be represented in the format of the Euler-Lagrange equation or the equivalent class\, the port-controlled Hamiltonian equations. We use energy shaping methods for task-invariance by altering the human-exoskeleton system's dynamic characteristics via the Euler-Lagrange equations or the more general port-controlled Hamiltonian equations. Under satisfaction of the matching conditions\, which is a set of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs)\, the open-loop system's mass/inertia matrix and gravitational vector can be mapped to the desired closed-loop system dynamics. \n\nEnergy shaping has broad applicability but has been limited in part by its computational and analytical complexity. Changes to the system dynamics must follow the solution to the matching conditions\, while finding a solution to the matching conditions itself is challenging. The corresponding controller for kinetic energy shaping requires complicated calculations of the mass/inertia matrix inverse\, where the computational cost for implementation increases tremendously. Potential energy shaping avoids the matrix inversion by altering only the potential energy but prevents shaping on the inertia terms. Such challenges require a new total energy shaping (TES) framework that provides flexible shaping structures with more freedom to change closed-loop dynamics over the potential energy shaping method. The corresponding control law with shaped structure also requires efforts to optimally achieve the powered exoskeletons' target control strategy for different locomotor tasks. Therefore\, the specific aims of this project are: 1) construct a TES framework for powered exoskeletons with flexible shaping structure\, 2) apply the framework to powered exoskeletons for optimal assistance across varying locomotor tasks\, and 3) perform experiments on multiple human subjects to demonstrate the possible clinical benefits of optimal TES framework with powered lower-limb exoskeletons.\n\nThis work is significant to the viability and performance of energy shaping methods to nonlinear systems by simplifying the matching conditions and providing flexibility in inertia forces/torques compensation. In powered exoskeletons\, inertia compensation does not require modifying the mass/inertia matrix with high dimensions\, and the corresponding controllers are efficient for experimental implementation. The powered exoskeletons' target control strategy uses normative torque patterns to provide assistance or augment performance. We formulate an optimization problem to design the controller and produce joint torques that fit normative biological joint torques and offload musculature for walking on multiple tasks\, including stairs. We perform experiments with multiple able-bodied human subjects wearing a knee-ankle exoskeleton to demonstrate reduced activation in certain lower-limb muscles on multiple tasks.

Their interactions are central to digestive functions and the “gut feeling”. The neural pathways that mediate the stomach-brain interactions include the vagus nerve and the thoracic nerve. Through these nerves\, the stomach can relay neural signals to a number of brain regions that span a central gastric network. This gastric network allows the brain to monitor and regulate gastric physiology and allows the stomach to influence emotion and cognition. Impairment of this gastric network may lead to both gastric and neurological disorders\, e.g.\, anxiety\, gastroparesis\, functional dyspepsia\, and obesity. However\, the structural constituents and functional roles of the central gastric network remain unclear. In my dissertation research\, I leveraged complementary techniques to characterize the central gastric network in rats across a wide range of scales and different gastric states. In animal experiments\, I used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map brain activity synchronized with gastric electrical activity and to map brain activations induced by electrical stimulation applied to the cervical vagus or its afferent terminals on the stomach. I also used neurophysiology to characterize gastric neurons in brainstem in response to gastric electrical stimulation. Results from my studies suggest that 1) gastric neurons in the brainstem are selective to the orientation of muscle activity relayed through intramuscular arrays\, 2) the central gastric network is intrinsically coupled to gastric slow waves and their amplitude fluctuations primarily via vagal signaling\, 3) selective stimulation of the vagus can evoke widespread and fast brain responses and alter functional connectivity within and beyond the central gastric network. My dissertation research contributes to the foundation of mapping and characterizing the central and peripheral mechanisms of gastric interoception and sheds new light on where and how to stimulate the peripheral nerves to modulate stomach-brain interactions.\n\n \n\nDate: Wednesday\, June 23\, 2021\n\nTime: 3:00 PM\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/2757414653\n\nChair: Dr. Zhongming Liu UID:84287-21621035@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84287 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Life Science,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210615T181514 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210623T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210623T160000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Rackham Minority Serving Institutions Initiative Coffee Chat Series: Fisk-Vanderbilt Master’s to Ph.D. Bridge Program—A Model for Inclusive Graduate Education DESCRIPTION:This talk will provide an overview of the Fisk-Vanderbilt Master’s to Ph.D. Bridge Program (FVBP) Model for inclusive graduate education.
