Since this time\, massive casualties\, human rights violations\, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing\, illustrate in bomb shelters\, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document\, create\, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful\, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.\n \nCurated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz\, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna)\, \"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War\" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters\, photographers\, filmmakers\, poets\, translators\, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war\, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east.\n \nThe featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:\n“— our love’s gone missing\, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis\,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”\n \nLike in Yakimchuk’s poem\, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine\, juxtapose\, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships\, the workings interior lives\, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship.

In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts\, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I\, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history\; in Act II\, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative\; in Act III\, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”\n—LaToya Ruby Frazier \nFlint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years\, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets\, activists\, mothers and residents of Flint\, Michigan\, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan\, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs\, video\, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race\, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving\, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint\, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work\, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures\, Stamps Gallery\, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan\, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition\, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts\, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum\, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity\, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities\, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Tracee Glab\, and Steven L. Bridges with the assistance of Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Rachel Winter\, and Rachael Holstege.

Water is a life force\, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing\, quenching\, and refreshing but has also been commodified\, polluted\, and politicized. From the Standing Rock\, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations\, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways\, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin\, to water shutoffs in Detroit\, PFAs in Ann Arbor\, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few)\, ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional\, intergenerational\, and collective knowledge sharing\, discussion and action to protect. \nCall for Work\nStamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care\, sustainability\, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”\nEligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday\, August 19\, 2022 →\nEligibility\nMust be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline\nThe deadline for submitting work is Friday\, August 19\, 2022\, 5pm\, EST. A selection committee composed of students\, faculty\, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2\, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15\, 2022 - January 14\, 2023.Why posters &\; videos? \nPosters can function as catalysts for change. For generations\, posters have served as an effective tool to circulate ideas and messages to the public. Visually striking\, and designed to draw attention from passersby\, posters can be conversation starters\, invite people to pause\, reflect\, spread the word\, get involved. They have been a powerful medium for many conceptual artists and graphic designers to create powerful images and messages that could respond to immediate issues and be distributed widely. Similarly\, video art was another exciting immediate medium for conceptual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the technology became more accessible to the masses. Video art provided an alternative to the dominant broadcasting corporations. Artists made experimental films\, recorded performances\, and first-person narratives that were then exhibited and screened at galleries\, museums\, and events. Posters and videos continue to be salient features in the 21st Century to respond to urgent issues and questions facing the present moment. \nContext\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races\, genders\, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality\, structural racism\, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality\, belonging\, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

However\, safety concerns need to be addressed when adopting this alternative since a failure in operation can result in catastrophic consequences. The safety and reliability analysis supports the development of consistent national and international codes and standards and the creation of clear procedures and regulations which are essential for the safe implementation and adaptation of hydrogen systems. This talk will discuss the use of advanced computational modelling for hydrogen safety with a key focus on consequence modelling to minimize the impact of hydrogen accidents. This includes hydrogen leakage\, dispersion and fire scenarios.\n\n \n \nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Fatemeh Salehi is an Associate Professor at the School of Engineering\, Macquarie University\, Australia. Her expertise is in the development of physical models for computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations of single- and multi-phase flows to advance low-emission and safe engineering solutions. She is particularly interested in clean fuels such as hydrogen which has the potential to address decarbonisation challenges. Her research in the field of hydrogen is recognized in the NSW Hydrogen Strategy published by New South Wales Government\, Australia in 2021. She is an executive member of the Combustion Institute (ANZ) and a member of the Working Groups of Standards Australia for the development of hydrogen standards.

In this talk\, I will discuss how this warming can affect the Atlantic Ocean\nvia atmospheric and oceanic teleconnections. Specifically\, by reorganizing the atmospheric\nWalker circulation in the equatorial band\, this warming can reduce precipitation in the tropical\nAtlantic\, resulting in pronounced surface salinity anomalies. On multidecadal timescales\, these\nanomalies are advected to northern high latitudes and strengthen the Atlantic meridional\noverturning circulation (AMOC). The resultant AMOC changes lead to a stronger hemispheric\nasymmetry and a northward shifted intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). On shorter\ntimescales\, Indian Ocean warming generates a train of atmospheric planetary waves\, which reach\nthe subpolar North Atlantic\, strengthen surface westerly winds there\, and cool the underlying\nocean within a few months to years. This mechanism could potentially explain the suppressed\nwarming in the subpolar North Atlantic (known as the "\;warming hole"\;) seen in the observational\nrecord. Further\, I will discuss the implications for past and future climate changes and ocean\ninterbasin teleconnections.

Since this time\, massive casualties\, human rights violations\, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing\, illustrate in bomb shelters\, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document\, create\, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful\, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.\n \nCurated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz\, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna)\, \"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War\" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters\, photographers\, filmmakers\, poets\, translators\, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war\, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east.\n \nThe featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:\n“— our love’s gone missing\, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis\,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”\n \nLike in Yakimchuk’s poem\, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine\, juxtapose\, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships\, the workings interior lives\, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the nineteen forties and fifties has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\n​\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like JuicyFruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. In 2017 Carl's work was a part of Detroit's contribution to The Saint-Etienne Design Biennale in France. 2017 also saw the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead & Lost in Detroit. Spring of 2018 saw Carl complete a residency at MacDowell in New Hampshire. While there he finished the writing and illustration of his graphic novel and currently the book is in negotiation for publication. The year has also seen the completion of a ten print collection based on James Weldon Johnson's Prodigal Son poetry. It was commissioned by Calvin College and Dr. Larry Gerbens.

First\, the objective functions formulated in deep learning are highly nonconvex but are typically amenable to minimization with first-order optimization methods like gradient descent. And second\, neural networks trained by gradient descent are capable of 'benign overfitting': they can achieve zero training error on noisy training data and simultaneously generalize well to unseen data. In this talk we go over our recent work towards understanding these phenomena. We show how the framework of proxy convexity allows for tractable optimization despite nonconvexity\, while the implicit regularization of gradient descent plays a key role in benign overfitting. In closing\, we discuss some of the questions that motivate our current work on understanding deep learning\, and how we may use our insights to make deep learning more trustworthy\, efficient\, and powerful.\n\nBio:\nSpencer Frei is a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley\, working with Peter Bartlett and Bin Yu as a part of the NSF/Simons Collaboration on the Theoretical Foundations of Deep Learning. He is interested in understanding statistical and computational phenomena observed in deep learning. He was named a Rising Star in Machine Learning by the University of Maryland in 2022\, and was a co-organizer of the 2022 Deep Learning Theory Workshop and Summer School at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing. He received his Ph.D in Statistics from UCLA in 2021 under the co-supervision of Quanquan Gu and Ying Nian Wu.

In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts\, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I\, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history\; in Act II\, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative\; in Act III\, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”\n—LaToya Ruby Frazier \nFlint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years\, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets\, activists\, mothers and residents of Flint\, Michigan\, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan\, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs\, video\, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race\, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving\, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint\, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work\, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures\, Stamps Gallery\, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan\, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition\, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts\, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum\, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity\, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities\, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Tracee Glab\, and Steven L.

Water is a life force\, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing\, quenching\, and refreshing but has also been commodified\, polluted\, and politicized. From the Standing Rock\, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations\, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways\, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin\, to water shutoffs in Detroit\, PFAs in Ann Arbor\, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few)\, ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional\, intergenerational\, and collective knowledge sharing\, discussion and action to protect. \nCall for Work\nStamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care\, sustainability\, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”\nEligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday\, August 19\, 2022 →\nEligibility\nMust be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline\nThe deadline for submitting work is Friday\, August 19\, 2022\, 5pm\, EST. A selection committee composed of students\, faculty\, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2\, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15\, 2022 - January 14\, 2023.Why posters &\; videos? \nPosters can function as catalysts for change. For generations\, posters have served as an effective tool to circulate ideas and messages to the public. Visually striking\, and designed to draw attention from passersby\, posters can be conversation starters\, invite people to pause\, reflect\, spread the word\, get involved. They have been a powerful medium for many conceptual artists and graphic designers to create powerful images and messages that could respond to immediate issues and be distributed widely. Similarly\, video art was another exciting immediate medium for conceptual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the technology became more accessible to the masses. Video art provided an alternative to the dominant broadcasting corporations. Artists made experimental films\, recorded performances\, and first-person narratives that were then exhibited and screened at galleries\, museums\, and events. Posters and videos continue to be salient features in the 21st Century to respond to urgent issues and questions facing the present moment. \nContext\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races\, genders\, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality\, structural racism\, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality\, belonging\, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts\, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I\, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history\; in Act II\, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative\; in Act III\, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”\n—LaToya Ruby Frazier \nFlint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years\, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets\, activists\, mothers and residents of Flint\, Michigan\, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan\, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs\, video\, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race\, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving\, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint\, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work\, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures\, Stamps Gallery\, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan\, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition\, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts\, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum\, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity\, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities\, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Tracee Glab\, and Steven L.

Water is a life force\, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing\, quenching\, and refreshing but has also been commodified\, polluted\, and politicized. From the Standing Rock\, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations\, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways\, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin\, to water shutoffs in Detroit\, PFAs in Ann Arbor\, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few)\, ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional\, intergenerational\, and collective knowledge sharing\, discussion and action to protect. \nCall for Work\nStamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care\, sustainability\, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”\nEligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday\, August 19\, 2022 →\nEligibility\nMust be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline\nThe deadline for submitting work is Friday\, August 19\, 2022\, 5pm\, EST. A selection committee composed of students\, faculty\, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2\, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15\, 2022 - January 14\, 2023.Why posters &\; videos? \nPosters can function as catalysts for change. For generations\, posters have served as an effective tool to circulate ideas and messages to the public. Visually striking\, and designed to draw attention from passersby\, posters can be conversation starters\, invite people to pause\, reflect\, spread the word\, get involved. They have been a powerful medium for many conceptual artists and graphic designers to create powerful images and messages that could respond to immediate issues and be distributed widely. Similarly\, video art was another exciting immediate medium for conceptual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the technology became more accessible to the masses. Video art provided an alternative to the dominant broadcasting corporations. Artists made experimental films\, recorded performances\, and first-person narratives that were then exhibited and screened at galleries\, museums\, and events. Posters and videos continue to be salient features in the 21st Century to respond to urgent issues and questions facing the present moment. \nContext\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races\, genders\, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality\, structural racism\, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality\, belonging\, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

Since this time\, massive casualties\, human rights violations\, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing\, illustrate in bomb shelters\, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document\, create\, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful\, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.\n \nCurated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz\, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna)\, \"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War\" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters\, photographers\, filmmakers\, poets\, translators\, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war\, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east.\n \nThe featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:\n“— our love’s gone missing\, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis\,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”\n \nLike in Yakimchuk’s poem\, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine\, juxtapose\, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships\, the workings interior lives\, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship.

This trajectory is constructed by applying an optimization or sampling based method wherein collision checking is performed against obstacles at discrete time instances. Unfortunately this presents an undesirable tradeoff between real-time performance and safety. Reachability-based Trajectory Design (RTD) circumvents this tradeoff by leveraging offline pre-computation of parameterized over-approximations of the robot behavior using Forward Reachable Sets (FRS) thereby achieving safety and real-time operation. To accomplish this objective\, RTD represents the full order dynamics of the robot using a reduced-order model\, which enables it to apply polynomial-based reachability analysis offline to the reduced-order model while conservatively bounding the difference between the two models. The result is a parameterized over-approximation of the full order robot behavior which can then be used for real-time trajectory design without sacrificing safety. However\, RTD suffers from a pair of shortcomings: first\, representing the full order dynamics using a reduced order model can introduce undue conservatism that makes it challenging to construct safe\, dynamic motion\; and second\, RTD deals with probabilistic models of the surrounding environment by requiring that any possible behavior (even one with exceedingly small probability) is safe thereby introducing more conservatism. This thesis focuses on illustrating RTD on a walking robot model and addressing the two issues of RTD. \n\nThe first contribution of the thesis generalizes the RTD framework to bipedal robots for flat ground walking using the idea of templates and anchors\, where `templates' are simplified descriptions of the behavior of the full-order models as `anchors'. Reachability analysis is performed on the template model under the assumption that the difference between the template and anchor can be bounded. Offline-computed polynomial reachable sets are then incorporated into a Model Predictive Control framework to select controllers that result in safe walking on the biped in an online fashion. The second contribution of the thesis improves the RTD framework for autonomous vehicles by designing a novel robust\, partial feedback linearization controller and performing zonotope-based reachability analysis on the closed-loop system. Because only the full-order model is involved in the computation of the reachable set\, the outer approximation of the FRS using zonotopes is much tighter than existing polynomial-based\, traditional RTD approaches. The third contribution of this thesis extends the RTD framework to deal with uncertainty. Consider the challenge of performing motion planning where one is given a Probability Density Function (PDF) description of an obstacle's state. The problem of bounding the risk of collision while performing motion planning can be cast as a chance-constrained program. To address this challenge\, the thesis develops a numerical scheme that conservatively approximates the integral of a PDF over FRS and its gradient with respect to a control parameterization. Using this information\, one can formulate a chance-constrained RTD approach to real-time risk-averse motion planning.

Joined by Voyager 2 in 2018\, these twin spacecraft continue to provide critical measurements of cosmic rays in a surprising\, previously-unexplored plasma regime. Meanwhile\, in 2018\, Parker Solar Probe made history by exploring another new regime\, venturing closer to the Sun than any spacecraft before it. This talk will highlight the new insights\, discoveries\, and open questions that have arisen from in-situ measurements of low-energy anomalous and galactic cosmic rays (few to hundreds of MeV) at these two extremes and how they relate to the current understanding of our own global astrosphere.

Correspondingly\, there are large families of Tate classes on the product of these two Shimura varieties\, and it is natural to ask whether one can construct algebraic cycles giving rise to these Tate classes. It turns out that a natural algebraic cycle generates some\, but not all\, of the Tate classes: to be precise\, it generates exactly the Tate classes which are associated to generic members of the endoscopic L-packets on GSp4. In the non-generic case\, one can at least show that all the Tate classes arise from Hodge cycles. I'll explain these results and sketch their proofs\, which rely on the theta correspondence.

Since this time\, massive casualties\, human rights violations\, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing\, illustrate in bomb shelters\, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document\, create\, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful\, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.\n \nCurated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz\, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna)\, \"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War\" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters\, photographers\, filmmakers\, poets\, translators\, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war\, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east.\n \nThe featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:\n“— our love’s gone missing\, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis\,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”\n \nLike in Yakimchuk’s poem\, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine\, juxtapose\, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships\, the workings interior lives\, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship.

Refreshments will be served.\n\nThe Lawrence Graduate Bayreuth Tuben Quintet is a tuben horn quintet that\, fluid by design and inclination\, is comprised of at least six members who identify as\, know\, or would like to know\, someone who is LGBTQ+. The tuben horn (often referred to as the “Wagner tuba”) is an orchestral misfit\, approximately the size and shape of a euphonium but played with a French horn mouthpiece. In recent years\, the instrument has been featured inscores for video games and adventure films but otherwise\, tuben horns\, usually found in sets of four\, take up space in instrument lockers in symphony halls until dusted off for the yearly Wagnerian blow-out.\n\nThat is\, until 2019\, when a group of new-music French horn superstars decided to take up the cause of the neglected instrument in the form of the Lawrence Graduate Bayreuth Tuben Quintet. Current members include founder Ann Ellsworth\, renowned soloist and recording artist\, John Gattis\, known for his work with Wavefield Ensemble\, Kyra Sims\, New York’s premiere comedian horn player\, Leander Star\, horn player with the new music wind quintet The City of Tomorrow\, and Lydia VanDreel\, horn professor at the University of Oregon and member of Quadre Horn Quartet.\n\n\nhttps://lgbtubenquintet.squarespace.com/about UID:102427-21804040@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/102427 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Earl V.

Although a number of studies have been conducted to analyze theoretical properties such as posterior contraction properties of variational posteriors\, there is still a lack of general and computationally tractable variational Bayes methods that can achieve adaptive inference. To fill this gap\, we propose a novel adaptive variational Bayes framework\, which can operate on a collection of models. The proposed framework first computes a variational posterior over each individual model separately and then combines them with certain weights to produce a variational posterior over the entire model space. It turns out that this combined variational posterior is the closest member to the posterior over the entire model in a predefined family of approximating distributions. We show that the proposed variational posterior achieves optimal contraction rates adaptively under very general conditions and attains model selection consistency when the true model structure exists. We apply the general results obtained for the adaptive variational Bayes to a large class of statistical models including deep learning models and derive some new and adaptive inference results.

Since this time\, massive casualties\, human rights violations\, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing\, illustrate in bomb shelters\, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document\, create\, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful\, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.\n \nCurated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz\, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna)\, \"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War\" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters\, photographers\, filmmakers\, poets\, translators\, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war\, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east.\n \nThe featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:\n“— our love’s gone missing\, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis\,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”\n \nLike in Yakimchuk’s poem\, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine\, juxtapose\, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships\, the workings interior lives\, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship.

The work consists of a series of collages and a collection of Polaroids that are accompanied by animations and video clips seen solely through the use of an augmented reality application (Virtual Mutations).\n\nThe scenarios presented in the static images act as literal stages for animated narratives. What once was a captured single moment echoes into motion\, creating an additional layer as to what will come thereafter. A dialogue between the past and the present is established and the app itself acts as a mediator between these tenses\, allowing the observer to have a glimpse of the afterthought\, that range from digital collages to Polaroid instant film.\n\nAbout the Artist\nCamila Magrane is a multimedia artist originally from Caracas\, Venezuela. Having a father from the U.S. and a mother from Venezuela\, she grew up alternating between both countries. Being fully exposed to two different cultures gave her a greater understanding of what it means to have various perspectives. After graduating from film school in Caracas\, she moved to San Francisco where she freelanced as an editor and camera operator. After discovering a passion for video games and interactive media\, Magrane obtained a BS in computer science with a concentration in game development.

Since these injuries\, which are never repaired\, can have life-long sequelae including prolapse and incontinence\, it seems reasonable to try to prevent them. From a biomechanical perspective\, women with unusually stretch-resistant lower birth canals can expect longer labors and a higher risk for muscle and tissue injury. The goals of this dissertation were to (a) quantify the viscoelastic properties of the lower birth canal during the first stage of labor\, with special attention to the effects of age and body mass index\; (b) identify those at risk for a long second stage of labor\, as well as (c) an elevated risk for levator ani injuries. Following an introductory chapter (Chapter 1)\, we describe the biomechanics of a new device that dilates the lower birth canal (PREP\, Materna Medical\, LLC.\, CA) during the first stage of labor\, and its use in the ongoing multicenter EASE clinical trial (Chapter 2).\n\nNext\, we quantify the normal ranges of lower birth canal resistance to dilation (tension T) in 56 nulliparas during the first stage of labor. We found remarkable variation in birth canal wall tension across all subjects. Specifically\, the tension when reaching 55 mm dilation varied 5.5-fold and was 22% greater in older women and correlated strongly with both relaxation during the 5-minute hold and with the maximum tension (r= 0.80\, r = 0.59 with p<0.001)\, thus a reasonable predictor of resistance to lower canal dilation (Chapter 3). The stiffness of the initial 20 s ramp varied 6.8-fold and was 31% higher in older women.\n\nWe then demonstrated that the effect of the initial 20 s ramp-and-5 minute hold of PREP insertion on the viscoelastic properties of the lower birth canal can reliably be characterized using a fractional viscoelastic Zener model (FZM). In 61 nullipara\, the relative error for the 20 s ramp-and-5 minute hold using the FZM was 8.1 ± 3.6% and provided a relative prediction error in 60 minutes of dilation of 10.0 ± 5.4%. The FZM constant kβ\, an analog for the shorter timer constant\, was 33% higher in older women (Chapter 4). We then used the fractional Zener viscoelastic constants obtained in Chapter 4 to predict the duration of the second stage of labor and risk for levator ani injury. As labor outcomes are presently unavailable for the PREP subjects due to the ongoing nature of the EASE trial\, the model was tested on data from an earlier constant force PILOT dilator study involving 22 healthy women with available labor outcomes. Our prediction model identified both instances of LA injury and predicted 22% of the variation in the second stage of labor duration (Chapter 5). We conclude that the viscoelastic properties of the lower birth canal in the first stage of labor are responsible for nearly a quarter of the variation in second stage duration. When combined with existing obstetric variables\, the PREP dilator may prove helpful in the improved management of vaginal delivery.\n\nZoom Link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99452208073 Meeting ID: 994 5220 8073 Passcode: 0000\n\nCommittee Chair(s): Dr. James Ashton-Miller UID:102845-21805233@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/102845 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,bme,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:GG Brown Laboratory - 2540 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230126T123122 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230111T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230111T110000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:ServiceNow Workshop: Portfolio Glow Up DESCRIPTION:Our Engagement at ServiceNow workshops are free\, virtual\, career development workrshops aimed to help those looking to jumpstart their careers in the tech industry.

Remaining puzzles such as dark matter confirm the need for beyond the Standard Model physics\, and the Higgs boson can be used as a compass to determine its nature. This talk focuses on novel searches for new physics with the ATLAS experiment on the LHC\, specifically for long-lived particles and heavy resonances. Such signatures make use of the Higgs\, along with advanced data analysis techniques such as machine learning and anomaly detection\, for broad and unprecedented sensitivity. The High Luminosity LHC\, the corresponding ATLAS detector upgrade\, and studies for future experiments are all crucial for the longevity of these searches. These topics are discussed in the context of cross-field collaboration and long-term strategic planning for the continued success of the field\, ensuring that no stone is left unturned in the effort to understand fundamental particle physics.

In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts\, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I\, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history\; in Act II\, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative\; in Act III\, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”\n—LaToya Ruby Frazier \nFlint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years\, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets\, activists\, mothers and residents of Flint\, Michigan\, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan\, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs\, video\, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race\, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving\, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint\, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work\, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures\, Stamps Gallery\, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan\, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition\, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts\, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum\, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity\, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities\, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Tracee Glab\, and Steven L.

Water is a life force\, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing\, quenching\, and refreshing but has also been commodified\, polluted\, and politicized. From the Standing Rock\, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations\, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways\, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin\, to water shutoffs in Detroit\, PFAs in Ann Arbor\, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few)\, ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional\, intergenerational\, and collective knowledge sharing\, discussion and action to protect. \nCall for Work\nStamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care\, sustainability\, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”\nEligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday\, August 19\, 2022 →\nEligibility\nMust be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline\nThe deadline for submitting work is Friday\, August 19\, 2022\, 5pm\, EST. A selection committee composed of students\, faculty\, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2\, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15\, 2022 - January 14\, 2023.Why posters &\; videos? \nPosters can function as catalysts for change. For generations\, posters have served as an effective tool to circulate ideas and messages to the public. Visually striking\, and designed to draw attention from passersby\, posters can be conversation starters\, invite people to pause\, reflect\, spread the word\, get involved. They have been a powerful medium for many conceptual artists and graphic designers to create powerful images and messages that could respond to immediate issues and be distributed widely. Similarly\, video art was another exciting immediate medium for conceptual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the technology became more accessible to the masses. Video art provided an alternative to the dominant broadcasting corporations. Artists made experimental films\, recorded performances\, and first-person narratives that were then exhibited and screened at galleries\, museums\, and events. Posters and videos continue to be salient features in the 21st Century to respond to urgent issues and questions facing the present moment. \nContext\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races\, genders\, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality\, structural racism\, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality\, belonging\, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.

All forms of plasticity are tightly regulated to ensure proper tissue function\, and when aberrantly activated\, can contribute to pathological phenotypes\, including impaired tissue repair and tumorigenesis. Understanding how cellular identity is dysregulated during aging\, injury\, and disease may yield approaches that correct aberrant cell fate transitions with therapeutic applications. This dissertation seeks to characterize the factors that guard cell fate by integrating innovative experimental techniques\, including novel cell lines\, animal models\, and micro-engineered devices\, with high-throughput sequencing assays and bioinformatics tools that map molecular information to cellular responses. \n\nThe first three studies provide insights into the mechanisms that preserve the regenerative capacity of muscle stem cells (MuSCs)\, the resident stem cell population in skeletal muscle. MuSCs lie in a state of mitotic quiescence during homeostasis and activate upon injury to repair damaged tissue while also renewing the quiescent stem cell pool. Over time\, MuSCs accumulate intracellular damage that alters metabolic signaling pathways and transcriptional programs supportive of quiescence\, blunting the efficient regeneration of skeletal muscle. To further understand how MuSCs acquire dysfunctional molecular programs in old age\, we explore the roles of three-dimensional genome organization\, an underexplored histone modification (H4K20me1)\, and a conserved metabolic regulator (Sestrins) in mediating pathological gene expression both at rest and in response to injury. We find that natural aging in MuSCs is accompanied by subtle shifts in global genome architecture and metabolic signaling that are sufficient to induce aberrant regenerative trajectories. \n\nThe fourth and fifth studies describe continuing efforts to develop new models for engineering cell fate. In one study\, we identify barriers to cell fate transitions by reprogramming somatic cells such that a specialized cell fate is erased and a new identity is adopted. This process requires spatial remodeling of the epigenetic landscape that is constrained by interactions between peripheral heterochromatin and the protein scaffold that lines the interior of the nucleus. We show that manipulating components of the nuclear scaffold prior to reprogramming alters mechanical properties of the nucleus and peripheral heterochromatin organization\, which converge to drive changes in reprogramming dynamics. Finally\, we revisit a century-old hypothesis that tumor cells acquire enhanced metastatic potential through fusion with neighboring stromal cells that express pro-metastatic traits such as motility\, chemotaxis\, and tissue tropism. To investigate this concept\, we demonstrate the efficient production of bi-species heterokaryons from human tumor cells and mouse stromal cells in the brain metastatic niche\, which allows genetic and metabolic factors to be assigned to their parent cell by species identity. This approach will allow us to identify and inhibit trans-acting factors that promote malignant fate transitions. \n\nIn summary\, this thesis provides mechanistic insights into cell fate plasticity in varying health contexts and explores new models for deciphering cell fate regulation.\n\nCommittee Chair(s): Dr. Carlos A.

This formal\, largely-guided\, practice utilizes evidence-based cognitive training that bolsters one's ability to handle stress\, poor mood\, and threat.  This weekly mindfulness practice encourages present moment\, non-judgemental\, awareness – noticing where your focus and attention are and continually inviting attention to current mind and body sensations in a kind and compassionate way.\n\nMindfulness meditation opens the possibility to pause\, gain perspective\, attend to the present\, and respond accordingly. In our ever-changing\, complex\, and challenging world\, mindfulness can provide grounding. As one form of contemplative practice\, mindfulness meditation can offer a framework to support a more skillful approach to navigating the demands of being human and support practitioners to build resilience and take compassionate action.\n\nWhether you are new to mindfulness meditation or are an experienced practitioner\, each session is designed to offer guidance and support to assist you. All are welcome to attend weekly or drop-in as their schedule allows.

In our formulation\, agents observe a private signal process and want to make a determination about an unknown binary state of nature. The game arises by allowing the drift of the signal process to incorporate information about the other agents’ actions and enforcing that each agent must minimize an associated Bayes risk. In this setting we are able to develop a deep understanding of the solution structure\, establish the existence of a mean field equilibrium\, and study the equilibria numerically. To the best of our knowledge\, this work presents the first treatment in the literature of a tractable mean field game with information filtering\, optimal stopping\, and a common unobserved noise. This presentation is based on recent joint work with Yuchong Zhang at the University of Toronto.

Taking seriously their invitation to build on the volume’s conclusions and identify productive areas of future research\, this lecture will explore concepts of sovereignty and empire in Syriac and Armenian historiography as evidence for the ontology of the Roman state in late antiquity and early Byzantium.\n Although Tim Greenwood\, Hartmut Leppin\, and Philip Michael Forness have treated similar questions about rulership in Syriac and Armenian literature in their contributions in this volume\, they have done so separately and without comparison. Wolfe argues that it is in fact through comparison that we discover that\, while Syriac terminology for Roman sovereignty was both diachronically and synchronically extremely stable\, Armenian terminology was not\, reflecting\, among other things\, the evolution of Roman imperial titulature in Byzantium. This contrast\, suggests divergent experiences of empire in Syriac- and Armenian-speaking communities during a period of transformation and change that reshaped the late antique Near East into the early medieval Middle East.\n\nDr. James (Jimmy) Wolfe is a historian of Roman institutions and the Roman imperial administration in the late antique and early medieval Middle East. His research examines the evolution of the late Roman state in this period of transformations by re-reading evidence from early Christian communities in the eastern Mediterranean using non-traditional frameworks. He studies dialectics of cultural exchange in northern Mesopotamia\, experiences of and impact of empire in Armenian- and Syriac-speaking communities\, and the replication of Roman imperial discourses in Greek\, Syriac\, and Armenian historiography. James received his PhD in Greek and Latin from the Department of Classics at The Ohio State University in December 2020. He has held appointments as a Lecturer in the Department of Classics at The Ohio State University and as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Hellenic Studies at Princeton University.

The work consists of a series of collages and a collection of Polaroids that are accompanied by animations and video clips seen solely through the use of an augmented reality application (Virtual Mutations).\n\nThe scenarios presented in the static images act as literal stages for animated narratives. What once was a captured single moment echoes into motion\, creating an additional layer as to what will come thereafter. A dialogue between the past and the present is established and the app itself acts as a mediator between these tenses\, allowing the observer to have a glimpse of the afterthought\, that range from digital collages to Polaroid instant film.\n\nAbout the Artist\nCamila Magrane is a multimedia artist originally from Caracas\, Venezuela. Having a father from the U.S. and a mother from Venezuela\, she grew up alternating between both countries. Being fully exposed to two different cultures gave her a greater understanding of what it means to have various perspectives. After graduating from film school in Caracas\, she moved to San Francisco where she freelanced as an editor and camera operator. After discovering a passion for video games and interactive media\, Magrane obtained a BS in computer science with a concentration in game development. This eventually led her to working in the game industry as a cinematic artist.\n\nMagrane has been pursuing a professional career as a multimedia artist since 2017\, working within a variety of mediums\, from photography and collage to animation and virtual/augmented reality (AR). She has been most noted for the creation of her AR image-based work where she’s established a postmodern aesthetic by combining traditional darkroom techniques with the use of digital tools.\n\nPrior to her career in the arts\, Magrane worked as a community organizer and teacher\, creating and managing a curriculum for teaching 3rd-6th graders coding skills in public schools in Caracas\, Venezuela. She continues to be active in community work by giving talks and workshops revolving around the topics of art\, technology\, and the use of AR as a creative medium.\n\nCamila Magrane has exhibited work internationally in numerous exhibitions\, event spaces\, fairs\, and festivals. Selected exhibitions & clients include The Academy of Sciences\, The Exploratorium\, Themes+Projects Gallery\, Minnesota Street Project\, MUKEK\, Gray Area\, Sothebys\, and Adobe. Selected press inquiries include Forbes\, Adobe Blog\, Refinery29\, Lenscratch\, Las Vegas Weekly\, Las Vegas Review Journal\, and Open Studios Guide.
