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. 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.

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.

Both in Japan—where the ethnographic data for this presentation originate—and also across the world\, social welfare systems too often “produce people who have no one\,” in the words of one of my interlocutors. What are the conditions for a welfare system that nurtures well-being that produces people who *have* people?\n \n Kate Goldfarb is a cultural and medical anthropologist. Her research focuses on the ways social relationships impact embodied experience\, intersections between public policy and well-being\, and the co-production of scientific knowledge and subjective experiences.\n \n Her first book project (*Fragile Kinships: Child Welfare and Well-Being in Japan*\, currently under review) explored how social inclusion and exclusion shape holistic well-being. She conducted longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork with people connected to the Japanese child welfare system\, examining the stakes of family disconnection in a country where the family is considered the basic social unit. This project investigated how kinship ideologies articulate with discourses of Japanese national and cultural identity\, how these discourses shape understandings of what is “normal\,” and how these concepts of normality are caught up in global circuits of knowledge surrounding human development\, child rights\, and concepts of “care” under the rubric of social welfare. This project’s analytical frameworks are shaped by kinship theory\, medical anthropology\, semiotics\, feminist studies of science\, and queer theory\, investigating how past and present social relationships are experienced in visceral\, embodied terms.\n \n Her most recent research\, based in the U.S.\, are collaborative projects that take the creation of and engagement with atmospheric data as a social field to study ethnographically. She is the Principal Investigator on a collaborative project funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration / National Weather Service in applied meteorological research\, “Smoke Exposure and Underserved Wildland Fire Communities.” An emergent project\, Knowing Air\, works to understand how shifting environmental factors—including increased wildfire activity and the COVID-19 pandemic—impact the ways people engage with air quality data (quantitative air quality indices and qualitative\, sensory\, story-based information) including measures of “invisible” pollutants such as ozone. Finally\, she is privileged to collaborate with the Louisville Historical Museum on their Marshall Fire Story Project to support the collection and archiving of community experiences surrounding the devastating December 30\, 2021 fire in Boulder County.\n \n This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

This research seeks to understand the experiences of those living with a stigmatized or marginalized identity to improve individual wellbeing\, interpersonal relationships\, and enhance participation in organizational and academic settings. In this talk\, I will discuss how context impacts the experience of stigmatization across two different studies\; first by exploring how academic climate at different levels influences career attitudes for marginalized early career scholars. In this study\, we suggest that the academic climate within the research group\, department\, and professional field are important factors for marginalized scholars (e.g.\, scholars of color\, disabled scholars). Second\, I will provide an in-depth analysis of stigma identity disclosure through both verbal and nonverbal modalities. Disclosing a concealable stigmatized identity—such as a mental health disorder or sexual assault experience—is a complex process whereby the risk of discrimination is weighed against the burden of concealing. However\, little is known how individuals disclose across behavioural modalities\, such as language and nonverbal movement dynamics\, and situational contexts (e.g.\, professional settings). Taken together\, these studies demonstrate the dynamic nature of stigmatization and propose interventions at multiple levels to improve well-being intra-personally and at the broader systems level.

If such structures are realized\, they may serve as the structural foundation to enable truly intelligent space systems (e.g.\, spacecraft\, space robots\, and space architectures) that can pass Turing test. This talk will include several of our group’s efforts to pursue this challenging goal. The talk will begin with our work on developing a multifunctional bistable ultrathin composite boom for a 3U CubeSat that is scheduled to be launched to space in early 2023\, followed by discussions on the mechanics of bistable booms. I will then present our research on soft electronic skins and microsystems for morphable space structures from a broader perspective beyond the bistable booms. I will conclude the talk with my views on future collaborative\, interdisciplinary\, and long-term research that needs to be done to realize highly intelligent morphable space structures.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Xin Ning has been an assistant professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Pennsylvania State University since August 2018. Dr. Ning was a postdoctoral research associate from 2015 to 2018 at UIUC\, where he worked on soft electronics. Dr. Ning received his Ph.D. in Aeronautics in 2015 from Caltech\, where he studied buckling-resistant thin shells. Dr. Ning’s research focuses on aerospace structures with interdisciplinary work across mechanics\, soft electronics\, bioelectronics\, etc. His group has been supported by AFOSR\, NASA\, ONR\, NSF\, and various other external and internal grants. Dr. Ning is a recipient of several awards such as William F. Ballhaus Prize for outstanding doctoral dissertation in aeronautics at Caltech\, ONR Young Investigator Award\, and ASME Haythornthwaite Foundation Research Initiation Award.

This seminar will be in-person and livestreaming on Zoom (link this page).\n\nAbstract: \nAll-female salamanders in the genus *Ambystoma* are the oldest unisexual vertebrates\, composed of a single mitochondrial lineage and multiple nuclear genomes introgressed from other salamander species. The unique characteristics of this system provide interesting perspectives on the maintenance of sex and polyploidy. Our work combines genomics\, physiological\, and ecological approaches to understand how all-female salamanders have co-existed with related sexual species\, how their numerous nuclear genomes have moved between lineages\, and how the interactions between their mitochondrial and nuclear genomes influence their basic physiology.\n\nContact eebsemaccess@umich.edu for Zoom password at least 2 hours prior to event.

When coupled with live 3D imaging\, such robots can independently guide surgical instruments in real time. In practice\, however\, patients receive only limited benefits from such intraprocedural data streams due to the lack of integration between robots and imaging systems with sufficiently high resolution and framerate. In this seminar\, I report on work with medical robots that use optical coherence tomography to guide needle insertions for cornea transplantation\, enhance surgeon efficiency with live volumetric guidance\, and perform autonomous eye imaging. In addition\, I discuss using real-time image feedback to adaptively acquire images that break the framerate-resolution barrier during live 3D imaging.\n\nBio:\nMark Draelos\, MD\, PhD\, is a surgically-trained physician and engineer who develops novel applications of medical robotics and imaging to improve patient care. After finishing Duke University’s Medical Scientist Training Program where he studied biomedical engineering under Prof. Joseph Izatt\, Mark completed an internship in general surgery at Duke University Medical Center. Currently\, he is an Assistant Professor of Robotics and Ophthalmology at the University of Michigan\, where he directs the Image-Guided Medical Robotics Laboratory.

A majority of Americans are not satisfied with how democratic systems in the United States are functioning. In a climate of deep partisan antagonism and widespread misinformation\, confidence in our elections has been declining for a myriad of reasons. The real-world implications of this moment cannot be overstated.\n\nJoin us for a conversation hosted at the Ford School by The Carter Center and the Gerald R. Ford Foundation that tackles how to buttress voter confidence in our democracy. Former Michigan U.S. Representatives Andy Levin (D-MI) and Peter Meijer (R-MI) and Amb (ret) Susan D. Page\, Michigan Law and Ford School professor from practice and Carter Center trustee\, will explore the bipartisan challenge of restoring faith in our democratic systems and highlight ways individuals can be part of the solution as we work together to uphold the standards of our democracy.\n\nThis event is hosted at the University of Michigan as a partnership between The Carter Center and the Gerald R. Ford Foundation. Political rivals and close collaborators\, Presidents Carter and Ford held a shared understanding of the sanctity of our democratic systems. Since its founding in 1982\, The Carter Center has focused its efforts outside the United States. Drawing from this expertise\, the organization has shifted attention to the challenges faced in the United States. The Center’s Democracy Program supports U.S. elections by bolstering democratic norms and values\, increasing trust and understanding of the electoral process\, and responding to the challenges posed by mis-\, dis- and mal-information. The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation has long partnered with the Ford School on educational programming that serves the public interest. The Foundation advances the principle that public order requires the cultivation of virtue within both the citizenry and political leaders. Its emphasis on civic education\, civility\, personal and political integrity\, service to community and nation\, political cooperation and compromise\, and courage reflects the life and career of President Ford.

If the object was to make anything out of anything\, then I feel frozen. But if you told me\, you can just make a grocery store out of plastic bags\, then I feel like I have an infinite amount of possibilities.” -Robin Frohardt\nRobin Frohardt is an award-winning artist living in Brooklyn\, NY\, known for her highly detailed constructions within narrative based film\, performance\, puppetry and sculpture. Frohardt uses found materials to create richly detailed worlds that highlight the trivialities of daily life. Often working with cardboard\, plastic bags\, and other materials typically considered disposable\, Frohardt creates highly intricate fabrications out of recognizable artifacts. \nFrohardt’s performance and puppetry-based work has been presented at St. Ann’s Warehouse and HERE in New York City\, as well as national venues including the Pittsburgh International Festival of Firsts and the NEXTNOW Festival in Maryland. Her theatrical work has earned her a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a Creative Capital Award\, a DisTil Fellowship from Carolina Performing Arts\, a MacDowell Colony Fellowship\, a Residency at Olson Kundig\, a renowned design architecture firm in Seattle\, and multiple Jim Henson Foundation Grants. Her play THE PIGEONING\, hailed by the New York Times as “a tender\, fantastical symphony of the imagination\,” debuted in 2013 and has been translated into German\, Greek\, Arabic\, and Turkish. Her films have been official selections at The Telluride Film Festival\, Aspen Shortsfest\, The One Earth Film Festival\, and BAM. \nFrohardt’s latest major project\, THE PLASTIC BAG STORE\, premiered in Times Square in 2020 and has since toured to Los Angeles\, Chicago\, Adelaide\, Austin. A public art installation and immersive film experience\, THE PLASTIC BAG STORE uses humor\, craft\, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically\, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics. Stocked with hand-made sculpted objects made from discarded single-use packaging\, the store transforms into an immersive\, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry\, shadow play\, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic\, sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations.\nTHE PLASTIC BAG STORE premieres in Ann Arbor on January 17.

The last third of Dante's Divine Comedy has been seen as the most alien to the modern mind-set. Paradise is often understood as somewhere else\, which can make its relevance to the here-and-now seem tangential\, even suspect. Just as all stories are illuminated from their end\, Paradiso gives us not only a vista in retrospect\, but also a glimpse of the underlying pattern of the phenomenal world. It is\, therefore\, not \"elsewhere\" so much as another way of reading what appears before us. What heaven is for is analogous to what literature is for.\n\nAlison Cornish is currently Professor of Italian Studies at New York University and President of the Dante Society of America. Before that\, she taught at the University of Michigan for 23 years. Her latest book\, Believing in Dante\, was published by Cambridge University Press this past year (2022).

This amazing artist connects with a live audience\, nourishes their souls and feeds off of their love. Seeing him live has always revealed his core\, his essence. Joshua comes to Michigan with a new release\, “Live at the Robin\,” which is his first live solo acoustic release\, and the intimate environment of the theater was well suited for catching him in his element. Joshua remains a quintessentially Michigan guy\, drawing his inspiration from the rough-and-tumble streets of Motown to the arboreal Upper Peninsula. The mitten is his muse. “I’ve wanted to make this album for years”\, says Joshua. “And I’m so excited to share it. I love playing solo shows. It allows me the freedom to dig deep into my songs and really be in the moment with the audience.”\n\nLuke Winslow-King is a New Orleans–based guitarist\, singer\, composer\, producer\, and songwriter. His work is an eclectic mix that combines Mississippi Delta blues\, folk music\, traditional jazz\, and roots rock and roll. His alchemical songs blend contemporary ideas with styles from bygone eras producing a sound that is rustic and urbane\, elegant and entirely his own. It is a sound that looks to the past to move to the future. This\, along with his burgundy voice\, dapper attire and versatile guitar playing\, have earned him a reputation as a musician who delivers soulfully energetic and dynamic performances.

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. 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.

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.

My research seeks out guarantees without such limitations across a wide range of statistical tasks\, including inference\, prediction\, and decision making. In this talk\, I will present two papers from this research program.\n\nFirst\, I will present https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.05100 (awarded an Oral designation at NeurIPS 2022\, reserved for only 2% of submissions)\, where we study how to most efficiently select interventions in sequence to learn causal effects. We provide an adaptive method and corresponding guarantees: simultaneously optimal performance when benign causal structure exists and consistent estimation even when all causal assumptions fail. Second\, I will present https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.10461\, where we resolve the minimax rates for conditional density estimation in parametric and nonparametric classes. I will particularly focus on consequences of our results\, including the first dimension-free KL risk bounds for generalized linear models\, the first fast rates for KL risk with arbitrarily unbounded covariate spaces\, and the first characterizations of KL risk for natural extensions of smoothness to conditional densities. Finally\, I will discuss how these advances form a foundation of my future research: general adaptivity in non-stationary and partial-feedback settings.\n\nBio: Blair Bilodeau is a graduating PhD student in Statistical Sciences at the University of Toronto\, advised by Daniel Roy.

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 this talk I will present some recent developments in understanding the physics of earthquakes using small and moderate-magnitude events. Instead of relying on absolute earthquake magnitudes\, we have developed a relative magnitude method to quantify the differences between earthquake magnitudes. The magnitude-frequency distribution based on relative magnitudes produces more robust estimates of b-values that characterize the relative abundance of large earthquakes to small earthquakes and thus the potential of increasing earthquake hazard in the region. Another fundamental source parameter is stress drop\, i.e.\, the difference of fault shear stresses before and after an earthquake\, and higher stress drops usually lead to more high-frequency ground motions. It has been proposed that injection-induced earthquakes have lower stress drop due to high pore fluid pressure in the source region\; however\, our recent analysis showed that stress drops of moderate-magnitude induced earthquakes are similar to those of tectonic earthquakes in the central US. We further analyzed stress drops of very small (M -3.9 to -3.1) induced earthquakes during a fluid injection experiment in France and found very low stress drops\, indicating a dependency of stress drop on crustal shear strength. In the end\, I will also demonstrate that the source spectra of small earthquakes used to estimate stress drop have amplified high-frequency energy at directions close to fault strike. Such high-frequency amplification may be caused by damaged rocks around faults and can greatly contribute to strong ground motions during large earthquakes.

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.

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.

Their relationship started when they hosted back-to-back radio shows on WDET-FM\, Detroit. Later on they started performing together and in doing so discovered a friendship based on mutual respect and a love for traditional American music. For Matt and Robert\, American roots music (folk\, blues\, spirituals\, work songs\, chants\, etc.) is music that matters. This is the music that America and the world have in common. It is music that reflects history\, social change\, migration\, hopes and dreams. It is music that is rich and diverse\, direct and powerful. This year's program is a celebration of the life and musical legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. UID:100687-21800238@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/100687 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230412T120004 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230117T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230117T235959 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Academy of Adventist Scholars Bible Study DESCRIPTION:Academy of Adventist ScholarsFollowing the legacy of university scholars throughout Christian history\, we as Seventh-day Adventist university students join in the pursuit of an intelligent faith and depth of understanding of the Word of God to bring the same purpose and excellence to our faith as we bring to our academic careers. This 1-hour weekly “lunch and learn” will focus in-depth on scripture questions and doctrines.

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.

Rather than imagining it as a singular\, coherent object\, this exhibit seeks to introduce the diversity\, difference\, and complexity inherent in feminist activism in Japan. As in other cultural contexts\, “feminism” in Japan can invoke sharply different associations\, from office workers trying to reshape taken-for-granted structures of power and authority\, to mothers advocating for safer school lunches after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disasters\, and queer couples seeking legal recognition for the families they have created. Mainstream feminist activism in Japan has focused on advocating for change in families\, workplaces\, schools\, political institutions\, and laws\, among many other contexts. Many ­– but certainly not all – feminist activists in Japan are also responding to the lasting legacies of Japanese colonial projects\, working toward recognition\, repair\, and meaningful reparations for racial and gender-based violence that continue to impact communities disproportionately.\n\nThis exhibit features original portraits of feminists who have shaped the landscape of women's and gender rights in Japan and beyond. Created by nine contemporary artists in Japan and the United States\, the portraits and accompanying texts challenge simplistic understandings of \"feminism\" while also drawing attention to a diversity of experiences\, needs\, and activism within Japan. This exhibit also spotlights the history of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan in conjunction with the Center for Japanese Studies' 75th anniversary celebration. \n\n“Portraits of Feminism in Japan” is open for viewing M-F 9am-4pm or by appointment.

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.

Specifically\, evaluation typically assumes that humans are oracles that provide semantically correct and unambiguous information\, and that all such information is equally useful. While this is enforced in controlled experiments via carefully curated datasets\, models operating in the wild will need to compensate for the fact that humans are hazy oracles that may provide information that is incorrect\, ambiguous\, or misaligned with the features learned by the model. For example: given a choice of three mugs\, a robot would not be able to satisfy a request to retrieve the mug\, but would be able to retrieve the orange mug.\n\nA natural question follows: how can we use deep learning models trained via the oracle assumption with hazy humans? We answer this question via a method we call deferred inference\, which allows models trained via supervised learning to solicit and integrate additional information from the human when necessary. Deferred inference begins with a method for determining if the model should defer inference and wait until more human-provided information is provided. While past work has generally simplified this into one of two questions: is the human-provided information correct? or is the output correct? We find that these approaches are insufficient due to the complex relationship between human inputs\, sensor readings\, and deep models: low-quality human-provided information may not cause error\, while high-quality human-provided information may not correct it. To address the misalignment between input and output error\, we introduce Dual-loss Additional Error Regression\, or DAER\, a method that successfully locates instances where a new human input can reduce error.\n\nAlthough introduction of such an effective deferral function is necessary to optimize the trade-off between human effort and error\, we must additionally consider that the deferral response is also subject to the effects of hazy oracles. For this reason\, we must not only consider how to find error caused by human input but also how to integrate deferral responses and measure the performance of the team. For this\, we introduce aggregation functions that allow us to integrate information across multiple inferences and a novel evaluation framework that measures the trade-off between error and additional human effort. Through this evaluation\, we show that we can reduce error by up to 48% under a reasonable level of human effort without any changes to training or architecture.\n\nLast\, we consider how shifting from a dataset-based evaluation to an individual human affects deferred inference. Specifically\, whereas crowdsourced datasets work well for rapid implementation and evaluation of deferral and aggregation functions\, they do not accurately model human-computer interaction: the mechanisms used to procure high-quality data cause shifts in the distribution\, and the failure to track the inputs of individual annotators makes the tacit assumptions that all humans are the same\, and inputs do not change over time or deferral depth. Through a human-centered experiment\, we find that these assumptions are not true: an ideal deferral function must be calibrated for a specific user\, users learn the model over time\, and the deferral response is likely to be of lower quality than the initial query. Despite this mismatch with crowdsourced evaluation\, we find that using our proposed deferral and aggregation functions can still reduce error in practice.

These institutional assertions are often called into question\, though\, by the stories of members of the higher education community who continue to face marginalization and othering within their professional and educational spaces. This session centers around an embodied case study depicting one woman’s reflections on her experiences of higher education and her interactions with a range of systems that sent a persistent message that she didn’t belong\, that she would never truly be a part of her university community. Through session activities\, participants will consider how these messages manifest and why they continue to occur despite the extensive labor of individuals sincerely committed to advancing equity.In this session\, participants will:Consider the way that stories of non-belonging and exclusion are perpetuated in the U.S. education system.\nUnpack the differences between individual action and systems level change.\nBrainstorm improvements at the systems level.\nThe session length is 90 minutes. You Don't Belong Here is offered only in a fully virtual\, synchronous format.\n**The theatrical portion of this session contains strong language. It includes explicit descriptions of racist and classist behaviors and the impact of systemic inequities on individuals and communities.\nThis workshop is designed for University of Michigan master's students\, doctoral students\, and postdoctoral fellows.

Authoritarian Populism in Everyday Life: Contemporary Turkey DESCRIPTION:The last two decades mark a continuous growth of authoritarian populism globally. What effects does authoritarian populism have on daily interactions? How do historically vulnerable social groups experience and respond to these effects? This presentation will explain how people negotiate the boundary-shifting effects of authoritarian populism in daily life and the mechanisms of intensifying civilian disciplinary actions in step with institutionalized authoritarian populism and formal state repression\, focusing on Turkey.\n \nBasak Gemici is a WCED Postdoctoral Fellow for 2022-24. She is a political sociologist whose research focuses on regime change\, authoritarian populism\, and conflict in everyday life using feminist research practice. She received her Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Pittsburgh in 2022\, where she also completed doctoral certificates in Gender\, Women\, and Sexuality Studies and Cultural Studies. Basak is currently working on her book project\, “Authoritarian Populism and Conflict in Daily Life\,” based on field research in Turkey between 2017 and 2019. Drawing on ethnographic data from urban bus rides and interviews\, she investigates the gendered\, ethno-racial\, and spatial organization of authoritarian populism in everyday life.\n \nBasak is also a research affiliate at the Gender Inequality Research Lab (GIRL)\, University of Pittsburgh\, and the Collaboratory Against Hate Research and Action Center\, a co-initiative of Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh.\n\nThis lecture will be presented in person in 555 Weiser Hall and on Zoom.

These institutional assertions are often called into question\, though\, by the stories of members of the higher education community who continue to face marginalization and othering within their professional and educational spaces. This session centers around an embodied case study depicting one woman’s reflections on her experiences of higher education and her interactions with a range of systems that sent a persistent message that she didn’t belong\, that she would never truly be a part of her university community. Through session activities\, participants will consider how these messages manifest and why they continue to occur despite the extensive labor of individuals sincerely committed to advancing equity.\nIn this session\, participants will:\n\nConsider the way that stories of non-belonging and exclusion are perpetuated in the U.S. education system\nUnpack the differences between individual action and systems-level change\nBrainstorm improvements at the systems level\n\nThe session length is 90 minutes. You Don’t Belong Here is offered only in a fully virtual\, synchronous format.\n**The theatrical portion of this session contains strong language. It includes explicit descriptions of racist and classist behaviors and the impact of systemic inequities on individuals and communities.\nThis workshop is designed for University of Michigan master’s students\, doctoral students\, and postdoctoral fellows.

Sensation is critical in closing the motor control loop\, making fine adjustments\, and identifying object properties\, however effective sensory feedback is absent from most modern prosthetic devices. Additionally\, despite the importance of sensation the literature is sparse on how to quantify and communicate how different prosthetic arms provide their users with sensory feedback. In this dissertation\, I sought to develop tools for quantifying and communicating sensation\, and applying these tools to characterize sensory feedback enabled via the stimulation of regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces (RPNIs). I started by building a protocol for directly comparing the availability of sensory feedback between individuals using anatomical and prosthetic limbs through their interactions with a simulated object. I then conducted a systematic literature review of methods of electrical stimulation for the purpose of referring sensory feedback to the phantom limb\, analyzing trends in methodologies and outcome measures.\n\nI applied the findings of this review in characterizing RPNI-enabled sensation in four individuals with upper limb amputation.\n\nTo assess the utility of RPNI-enabled sensation in an actual task\, I developed a virtual reality environment for testing bi-directional prosthetic function. Through these investigations\, I empirically confirmed previous anecdotal evidence that sensory feedback\, particularly force feedback\, is more available to individuals using a body-powered prostheses compared to those using myoelectric prostheses. I determined that the current state of the field uses heterogeneous methodologies that make it difficult to compare results between studies\, and recommended guidelines for future research.\n\nFinally\, I determined that not only do RPNIs provide sensory feedback that is referred to the phantom hand and consistent over time\, but that RPNI-enabled sensory feedback has the potential to improve prosthetic function and positively alter an individual's perception of their phantom limb. These findings support previous literature on the importance of sensation for the improvement of prosthetic function and satisfaction in individuals\, and encourage future research into the utility of RPNI-enabled sensation. This work also provides future researchers with several tools that ideally make studying sensation in prosthesis users more approachable\, in order to accelerate progress toward a prosthesis that can provide users with naturalistic sensation.\n\nLight snacks and refreshments will be provided.\n\nThe Defense for Prince Kuevor will begin soon afterwards at 3:00pm.

Mechanical forces and local elasticity play a central role in understanding physical interactions in all living systems. We demonstrate a novel way to image microscopic viscoelastic properties of biological systems using Brillouin microspectroscopy [1]. In my talk\, I will discuss the ways how an old spectroscopic tool can be used for real time microscopy and provide possible solutions to long standing problems in Life Sciences and Medicine while advancing instrumentation beyond classical limits [2]. \n\n[1] Zh.

The dynamical degree lambda_1 of f is defined as the limit of the n-th root of the degree of the n-th iterate of f. In 2007\, Favre and Jonsson showed that the dynamical degree of any polynomial endomorphism of the affine plane is a quadratic integer. For any affine surface S0\, there is a definition of the dynamical degree that generalizes the one on the affine plane. We show that the result still holds for any complex affine surface: the dynamical degree of an endomorphism of any complex affine surface is a quadratic integer. The proof uses the space of valuations centered at infinity V. The endomorphism f defines a transformation of V and studying the dynamics of f on V gives information about the dynamics of f on S0. The main result is that under certain hypothesis\, f admits an attracting fixed point in V that we call an eigenvaluation. This implies that one can find a good compactification S of S0 such that f admits an attracting fixed point p at infinity and f has a normal form at p\; the result on the dynamical degree follows from the normal form.

This seems straightforward enough\, but if your ideal is presented abstractly instead of in terms of generators\, it becomes less obvious how to verify homogeneity. In this talk\, we will discuss several different techniques for showing an ideal is homogeneous\, as well as comparing the strengths and limitations of these techniques. We'll illustrate these via proving useful results on how homogeneity is preserved\, such as showing that associated primes of homogeneous ideals are homogeneous ideals\, and showing the integral closure of a homogeneous ideal is homogeneous.

Typical magnetic field navigation techniques assume the ambient field points Northward and remains constant in a local area. Both assumptions break down inside buildings due to distortions caused by ferrous materials in modern structural components. In this work\, we show how to make maps of magnetic field distortions to improve our ability to orient and traverse through indoor spaces. Because the magnetic field is ubiquitous on Earth and magnetometers are present on most modern smartphones and IMUs (inertial measurement units)\, our methods can be applied nearly anywhere on Earth.\n \nThis dissertation presents three major contributions towards the use of magnetic fields for indoor navigation. First\, we show how to use a small UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) to measure the ambient field throughout a workspace and create three dimensional magnetic field maps. We leverage a machine learning tool called Gaussian process regression (GPR) as the backbone of our magnetic field maps to interpolate the field at unobserved locations. \n \nSecond\, we use a multiplicative extended Kalman filter (MEKF) with our GPR-based maps to estimate the attitude (orientation) of a UAV. Here\, we introduce the concept of spatial variation which describes how much the magnetic field changes locally. Results show that our magnetic maps yield a two-fold improvement of attitude estimates indoors (where there is high spatial variation)\, but are unnecessary for outdoor environments where a constant-field assumption is appropriate.\n \nFinally\, we use a particle filter to estimate the position of a UAV using indoor magnetic fields. This last innovation is important because GPS (a staple for position estimation outdoors) is not available inside buildings. Instead\, we use our GPR-based magnetic field maps to track the UAV's motion through our mapped space. Our results give three-dimensional position estimates of a UAV within 0.2m for six of our eight test cases. In addition\, we show how the amount of magnetic field's spatial gradient correlates with our position estimation accuracy.\n \nWith some improvements\, our methods can be used to transform the way people navigate through buildings. Imagine an indoor route planning application that guides someone to their terminal at an airport\, to a book at their local library\, or to their office at a new job. Because magnetic fields are everywhere on Earth\, we can apply our mapping and navigation techniques to any building on the planet. In addition\, the presence of magnetometers in modern smartphones gives everyone the ability to benefit from the invisible field all around them.\n \nTo make this vision a reality\, our methods need to be less sensitive to changes in the magnetic field. Although this dissertation does not investigate robust navigation or time-varying magnetic field mapping\, it does present important foundations on the practice of creating magnetic field maps and their value in enabling indoor navigation.

This 2020 catalyst project developed a Coastal Vulnerability Index to assess what role particular habitats are playing in preventing coastal erosion at the GTM Reserve\, and these data have demonstrated how management decisions can help increase or maintain wetland surface elevation. In this webinar\, the project team will discuss key findings and share important implications the project will have on communal restoration planning addressing sea level rise in the region.

Artificial intelligence (AI)\, specifically deep learning\, is a type of machine learning that involves training a computer to recognize patterns in data by processing large amounts of information through multiple layers of neural networks. Deep learning algorithms are well suited to image analysis tasks and have been applied to a wide range of medical imaging applications. To date\, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved over 500 AI solutions as ‘medical devices’ that aid in the clinical decision making.\n\nThe presentation will focus on examples where AI deep learning models can be used to synthesize images that provide physiological information\, for example cerebral blood flow maps from arterial spin labeling MRI\, and cardiac-related brain pulsatility maps from blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast images. We will also showcase the academic AI tools developed at the Computational Radiology and AI (CRAI.no) unit at the Oslo University Hospital\, Norway. From among these tools\, we will describe the development of a CT-based segmentation tool that contours all forms of intracranial hemorrhage from non-contrast CT images.\n\nYou can attend via Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/93856074220\npasscode: 847305 UID:102885-21805291@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/102885 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Brain,Cognitive Neuroscience,Imaging,Neuroimaging,Neuropsychology,Neuroscience,Psychology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20221216T112055 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230117T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:LSA Information Session for LSA + Business (Ross) Dual Degree (MDDP) DESCRIPTION:Want to learn more about a dual degree between LSA & Ross/Business?

When applying statistical learning methods\, puzzling phenomena have arisen in choosing estimators\, tuning their parameters\, and characterizing bias-variance trade-offs. There are various settings in which asymptotic and/or worst-case theory fails to provide the relevant guidance\, so that a more refined approach\, both non-asymptotic and instance-optimal\, is required.\n\nIn this talk\, I present some recent advances in optimal procedures for statistical decision-making. I will first discuss function approximation methods for policy evaluation in reinforcement learning. I describe a novel class of optimal and instance-dependent oracle inequalities for projected Bellman equations. Different from statistical learning\, the optimal approximation factor depends on the geometry of the problem\, and can be much larger than unity. Drawing on this perspective\, I then discuss instance-dependent optimal methods for estimating linear functionals from observational data. With a practical sample size\, the optimal risks exhibit a rich spectrum of behavior beyond the asymptotic semi-parametric efficiency bound. Our non-asymptotic instance-dependent results identify the fundamental roles of certain novel quantities\, and provide concrete guidance on practical choices.\n\nBio: Wenlong Mou is a Ph.D. student at Department of EECS\, UC Berkeley\, advised by Martin Wainwright and Peter Bartlett. Prior to Berkeley\, he received his B.Sc. degree in Computer Science from Peking University. Wenlong's research interests include statistics\, machine learning theory\, dynamic programming and optimization\, and applied probability. He is particularly interested in designing optimal statistical methods that enable optimal data-driven decision making\, powered by efficient computational algorithms.\n\nhttps://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~wmou/ UID:102483-21804112@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/102483 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230201T123119 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230117T163000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:USA - Campus - EY Campus Recruiting Overview DESCRIPTION:Please join our EY Campus Recruiting team for a short and detailed overview about the EY recruiting process - including information about application deadlines\, recruiting timelines\, interviews\, and more.

The simplest model for this phenomenon is the Schrodinger equation coupled to a weak random potential\, which describes the evolution of an electron in disordered media. The effect of the disorder is to scatter the wave into random directions. The long-time behavior is described by an effective diffusion equation\, which was first established by Erdös\, Salmhofer\, and Yau using sophisticated diagrammatic arguments. In this talk I will describe a new approach to proving this effective limit which uses a wavepacket decomposition of the solution to give a geometric meaning to the diagrams.

Several times a day\, the store transforms into an immersive\, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry\, shadow play\, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

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.

Rather than imagining it as a singular\, coherent object\, this exhibit seeks to introduce the diversity\, difference\, and complexity inherent in feminist activism in Japan. As in other cultural contexts\, “feminism” in Japan can invoke sharply different associations\, from office workers trying to reshape taken-for-granted structures of power and authority\, to mothers advocating for safer school lunches after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disasters\, and queer couples seeking legal recognition for the families they have created. Mainstream feminist activism in Japan has focused on advocating for change in families\, workplaces\, schools\, political institutions\, and laws\, among many other contexts. Many ­– but certainly not all – feminist activists in Japan are also responding to the lasting legacies of Japanese colonial projects\, working toward recognition\, repair\, and meaningful reparations for racial and gender-based violence that continue to impact communities disproportionately.\n\nThis exhibit features original portraits of feminists who have shaped the landscape of women's and gender rights in Japan and beyond. Created by nine contemporary artists in Japan and the United States\, the portraits and accompanying texts challenge simplistic understandings of \"feminism\" while also drawing attention to a diversity of experiences\, needs\, and activism within Japan. This exhibit also spotlights the history of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan in conjunction with the Center for Japanese Studies' 75th anniversary celebration. \n\n“Portraits of Feminism in Japan” is open for viewing M-F 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.\n\nFeatured artists:\nElaine Cromie\, JenClare B.

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.

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.

Lumped element detectors that have been realized thus far have operated in a geometrically small limit that admits a magnetoquasistatic approximation for sensitivity calculations\, but their sensitivities at higher frequencies have remained poorly understood. In this talk\, I will present new work studying the sensitivity of lumped element detectors in the high-frequency limit\, revealing new challenges and opportunities for the rapidly developing experimental paradigm.

The proof is in two steps: first\, we will reduce the problem to the weak Mordell--Weil Theorem using the theory of heights. Then we will prove the weak Mordell--Weil Theorem from the finiteness of the Selmer group. The talk will be accessible to anyone who has seen some algebraic number theory.

However\, there is only a few papers concerning BSDEs with non-càdlàg barriers. It is caused mostly by the following: the main component of the solution does not have to be a càdlàg process\, the minimality condition (guaranteeing uniqueness) is complicated and unintuitive\, and the basic proof technique of càdlàg case\, i.e. penalization method\, does not apply to non-càdlàg case.\n\nWe will present the results on the existence and uniqueness of a solution to RBSDEs with two optional barriers. The generator is assumed to be non-increasing with respect to the value variable (with no restrictions on the growth) and Lipschitz continuous\, with sublinear growth\, with respect to the control variable. Data are in Lp for some p≥1. We also present some results concerning methods of approximation of the solution via modified penalization scheme\, and present the link between solutions of RBSDEs with optional barriers and the value processes for generalized nonlinear Dynkin games.\n\nThe results were obtained in cooperation with Tomasz Klimsiak and Leszek Słomiński.

The drawdown constraint on consumption means that the consumption rate process does not fall below a fraction \lambda\in[0\,1] of its current running maximum\; ratchet constraint\, a special case corresponding to \lambda=1\, means that consumption rate is non-decreasing. For each \lambda\in[0\,1]\, the optimization is considered via convex duality methods and with respect to two parameters: the initial wealth and the essential lower bound on consumption process. In order to state the problem and define the primal domains in this general semimartingale market setting\, I introduce a natural extension of the notion of running maximum to arbitrary non-negative optional consumption rate processes. The dual domains for optimization are then characterized in terms of the closed solid hull of the set of equivalent martingale deflators with respect to a certain ordering on the set of non-negative optional processes. Finally\, I will show that the abstract duality result for incomplete markets can be used in order to derive a more detailed characterization of solutions in the complete market case.
