Survivors Saving Survivors: Photographing the Ukrainian Refugee Experience in Poland DESCRIPTION:In April and June 2022\, at the invitation of JCC Krakow\, Chuck Fishman traveled to Poland to document the JCC and the Jewish community’s commitment to helping Ukrainian refugees fleeing their war-torn country. What he witnessed and captured in a series of gripping photographs is *tikkun olam*\, a central concept in Judaism that denotes activities that repair and improve the world we live in. The exhibit shifts the lens away from the horror the refugees have endured to focus instead on human goodness and how it can overcome lingering evil.\n\nIn his 45-year career\, freelance photographer Chuck Fishman has focused on social and political issues with a strong humanistic concern. His work on Jewish life in Poland\, begun in 1975\, continues to the present day. Fishman’s work has been extensively published\, exhibited\, and collected worldwide\, and has earned him prestigious World Press Photo Foundation medals four times. His photographs have appeared on the covers of *Time*\, *Life*\, *Fortune*\, *Newsweek*\, *The London Sunday Times*\, *The Economist*\, and numerous others. Fishman’s work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery\, the United Nations POLIN: The Museum of the History of Polish Jews\, and the Stanford University and New York Public Libraries\, to name a few\, as well as private and corporate collections.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race\, spirituality\, history\, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter\, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown\, which is evident in his work. \n\nMorris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age\, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However\, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother\, Dell Pryor\, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades\, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans\, Hugh Grannum\, Lester Sloan\, Al Loving\, Gilda Snowden\, Shirley Woodson\, Anthony Barboza\, and Eric Pryor among others. \n\nIn 2008\, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit)\, a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society. \n\nIn 2019\, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage\, photo montage\, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works\, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

On display is material drawn from the University of Michigan collections dealing with the history of early astronomy: manuscripts\, early printed books\, and artifacts illustrating Mesopotamian\, Greek\, Islamic\, and Western European astronomy.\n\nThis exhibit and its permanent online counterpart (https://umlib.us/earlyastronomy) are part of the Aratus Project\, which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and led by Prof. Francesca Schironi. The core of the project has been to study Aratus’ \"Phaenomena\,\" the most important poem on stars and constellations of the Graeco-Roman ancient world\, and its exegetical tradition. Read an annotated edition and English translation of \"Phaenomena\" and its commentaries (https://aratus.classics.lsa.umich.edu/).

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 prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name\, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height\, weight\, etc. In the process\, their humanity is denied.\n\nThis exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so\, those in prison reclaim their humanity.\n\nMuseum hours\nThursdays–Saturdays: 10:00 AM–5:00PM \nSundays: 1:00–5:00 PM UID:105623-21812452@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105623 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:27th Annual Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Detroit Historical Museum CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230202T121528 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T113000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Informational Interviewing DESCRIPTION:This workshop is for graduate students who want to learn more about informational interviewing.

However\, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother\, Dell Pryor\, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades\, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans\, Hugh Grannum\, Lester Sloan\, Al Loving\, Gilda Snowden\, Shirley Woodson\, Anthony Barboza\, and Eric Pryor among others. \n\nIn 2008\, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit)\, a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society. \n\nIn 2019\, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage\, photo montage\, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works\, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

All genocide starts with a destructive ideology and followed afterwards by denial. This talk will re-examine the concepts of genocide ideology and denial\, how they are linked and how they contributed to the killings of Tutsi from 1959 up to 1994. Available literature as well as recent cases will be thoroughly analyzed\, both at local and international level\, to understand different forms and trends of genocide ideology and denial\, with specific emphasis on the Rwandan case.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information Data\, Archives\, and Information Seminar\; African Studies Center\; Museum Studies Program\; Ethics\, Society and Computing\; and Franklin Innovator Residency Fund.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nWith a PhD in education from the University of Geneva\, I have substantial experience working with the United Nations\, international non-governmental organizations\, non-profit organizations\, and governments on projects related to equitable and sustainable education curricula. As the Director General of the Research and Documentation Center on Genocide at the Rwanda National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG)\, I managed and led research projects as well as designed\, implemented\, monitored\, and assessed projects related to the Genocide against the Tutsi. Key projects included the digitization of forty-five million pages and four thousand audio-visual materials from Rwanda’s Gacaca Courts\, the preservation of textiles at the Nyamata genocide memorial site\, the preservation of bodies at the Murambi genocide memorial site\, and the preservation of artifacts in six other national genocide memorial sites in Rwanda. Between 2013 and 2015\, I also participated in a team responsible for designing Rwanda’s new national education curriculum for history and civic education. I am currently a Consultant with the International Labour Organization (ILO) for their Accelerator Lab 8.7 Program\, which provides funding and support to international organizations with innovative solutions to tackle child labor\, forced labor\, and human trafficking.

Based on extensive archival research using many newly declassified sources\, *The Peacemaker* is the first book of its kind to offer a comprehensive overview of the Reagan administration’s foreign policy\, including important topics such as its policies in Asia\, the Middle East\, counterterrorism\, and international economics.\n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\n\nWilliam Inboden is executive director and William Powers\, Jr. Chair at the Clements Center for National Security at the University of Texas-Austin. He also serves as associate professor at the LBJ School of Public Affairs\, distinguished scholar at the Strauss Center for International Security and Law\, and editor-in-chief of the Texas National Security Review. Previously he served as senior director for strategic planning on the NSC at the White House. Inboden also worked at the Department of State as a member of the policy planning staff and a special advisor in the Office of International Religious Freedom\, and as a Congressional staff member in both the US House and Senate. He is a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations\, and member of the CIA Historical Advisory Panel and State Department Historical Advisory Council. Inboden's recent book\, *The Peacemaker: Ronald Reagan in the White House and the World*\, published November\, 2022 is an in-depth account of how Reagan's foreign policy won the Cold War and laid the foundations for the 21st century.

Yet that idea was developed much later than commonly assumed. Debates leading up to the Clayton Act of 1914 form an important episode leading up to that contested development. Professor Paul will discuss her draft chapter\, part of a larger book project\, that considers this episode in the context of surrounding developments in the law\, in economic thought\, and in the organization of economic activity. A less-familiar view of competition and markets (from the modern perspective —one focused on distinguishing between fair and unfair competition—also had an important role in the debates leading to Progressive Era antitrust legislation. This view of markets acknowledges that competition is always channeled in particular qualitative directions—guided by\, among other things\, law—and is also always accompanied by particular\, legally-conditioned forms of economic coordination.

This study examines the role of outgroup empathy as a potential driver of support for restrictive voting laws and voter suppression efforts. Evidence from two national surveys indicates that outgroup empathy may boost support for race-based electoral justice\, above and beyond the influence of partisanship\, ideology\, and a host of socio-demographic influences. As predicted\, the effects of group empathy are conditional on political sophistication: Those most likely to be aware that these laws target minority group voters are also those who bring outgroup empathy to bear on their policy views. The findings suggest that group empathy—especially among the most politically sophisticated—can catalyze opposition to restrictive voting laws.

Moreover\, when researching this cultural adaptation process\, scholars have faced their own challenges as well. This presentation highlights some of the peculiar – and in some ways absurd – dilemmas and limitations that psychologists have faced when attempting to study Arab American acculturation from the theoretical frameworks and methodologies dominant in the traditional psychological acculturation literature.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Mona M. Amer\, PhD\, is a Professor of Psychology and was founding chair of the Department of Psychology at the American University in Cairo\, where she has received the university’s annual teaching and service awards. She completed her doctorate at the University of Toledo and postdoctoral fellowship as an APA Minority Fellow at Yale University School of Medicine. Her work revolves around ethnic/racial disparities in behavioral health\, with specializations in the Arab and Muslim minorities. As a clinical-community psychologist she is interested in risk and protective factors that impact disparities\, and ways to eliminate inequities through culturally competent services\, community-based programming\, and social policy. Her publications include two articles in American Psychologist and two landmark co-edited Routledge books: Handbook of Arab American Psychology and Counseling Muslims: Handbook of Mental Health Issues and Interventions. Dr. Amer co-founded and served as the first elected president of the American Arab\, Middle Eastern\, and North African Psychological Association (AMENA-Psy).

This paper points out that in such models the issue of nonstandard inference can arise even when the instruments are strong. Moreover\, this occurs at very important points of parameter space\; for instance\, when the coefficient on the mismeasured regressor in a nonlinear regression is close to zero. The root of the problem is weak identification of the nuisance parameters\, such as the distribution of the measurement error or control variable. These parameters are weakly identified when the mismeasured variable has small effect on the outcomes. As a result\, the estimators of the parameters of interest generally are not asymptotically normal and the standard tests and confidence sets can be invalid. We illustrate how this issue arises in several estimation approaches. This complication can be particularly problematic when the nuisance parameters are infinite-dimensional.\n\n Making use of the specific structure of the EIV problem\, the paper proposes simple approaches to conducting uniformly valid inference about the parameter of interest. The highlevel conditions are illustrated by a detailed analysis of a semiparametric approach to EIV in the general moment condition settings.

However\, the more ambitious the mission goals and the farther exploration takes us from Earth\, the more ingenious\, cost-effective\, and safe solutions need to be engineered to enable such missions. To handle the increasing complexity\, the next generation of space missions will require autonomous human-level decision-making in highly unknown or perturbed environments. \n\nIn this talk\, I will present the prospects and challenges for developing autonomous and robotics systems that can dynamically evolve and modify with the environment. The talk will highlight how the system-level impact of autonomy integration and its combination with optimal control allows for an intelligent\, dynamic\, autonomous system capable of making rational decisions that consider both the safety and performance of the specific executed operations and the overall performance of the mission. \n\nThis approach is used to advance aerobraking\, an atmospheric process used to slow down and insert a spacecraft into a low orbit around a planet\, showing dramatic advancement in flight performance\, risk\, and cost. Finally\, a generalization of the findings is presented in terms of necessary improvements for designing environment-aware decision-making algorithms\, and the opportunities autonomy will provide for the next generation of space missions.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Giusy Falcone is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. She works on trajectory optimization for space applications in the RExLab group under the guidance of Prof. Zachary Manchester. In May 2022\, she earned a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the supervision of Prof. Zachary Putnam. Her expertise lies in hypersonic and space systems\; space guidance\, navigation\, and control\; flight mechanics\; mission design\; trajectory optimization\; artificial intelligence\; and autonomous systems. Her research explores innovative techniques to enable low-cost\, autonomous space missions capable of reasoning and reacting safely in a changing environment. She is the recipient of the 2022 AIAA Intelligent Systems Best Paper Award for her work in Autonomous Aerobraking Maneuver Planning using Deep Reinforcement Learning. She is also one of the selected participants of the 2022 Rising Stars in Aerospace (RSIA) Symposium and the Keck Institute for Space Studies Workshop “Revolutionizing Access to the Martian Surface.” In addition\, Dr. Falcone is one of the recipients of several fellowships\, including the Mavis Future Faculty Fellowship\, the Graduate Student Service Award\, the Robert Beatty Fellowship\, and the Aerospace Engineering Alumni Advisory Board Fellowship.

During his first years of adolescence\, Muzamil grows up like other children\, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19\, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.\n\nFilm Facts & Background:\nSince few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956\, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

This process is facilitated at the graft endothelial surface\, where inflamed endothelial cells (ECs) upregulate adhesion molecules and recruit effector cells of the host immune system. To combat this dysfunctional inflammation locally and with more impact than globally administered therapies\, anti-inflammatory agents can be administered directly to the graft endothelium. We have designed a strategy for local and sustained delivery of these agents using molecularly-targeted polymer nanoparticles (NPs) during a period of ex vivo normothermic machine perfusion (EVNMP) of the organ. I will present several approaches for therapeutic delivery using polymeric NPs as well as strategies to direct NPs using molecular targets to the ECs of interest. We have discovered that rapid accumulation of NPs on ECs relies on both the density and accessibility of the potential ligands\, and that these parameters can be measured directly in the relevant human vessel setting. The experiments we have conducted within these platforms are being used to develop a high throughput preclinical approach to optimize immune therapy for local and robust treatment in human organ transplant.\n\nBio: I joined the faculty at Villanova University in the fall of 2022 in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. I am continuing my research into NP-based therapeutic delivery to human vasculature and integrating these strategies with tissue-engineering to create tools for long-term immune modulation. Specifically\, materials that provide support for tissue regrowth while temporarily inhibiting inflammation-related injury\, thus reducing the burden of chronic inflammation. My work presented here today was done as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Biomedical Engineering at Yale University as part of Dr. W. Mark Saltzman’s research group. In my graduate work\, I developed vascular\, tissue engineered constructs using a combination of biological and synthetic materials at the University of Maryland with Dr. John Fisher in Bioengineering.

I draw on ethnographic research that I conducted between 2016 and 2017 at the Desert Echo Facility (pseudonym)\, a state prison in the American Southwest that holds individuals from minimum to high-security levels. Some incarcerated people feel supposedly inanimate objects\, such as walls and floors\, moving\, while others feel vibrations moving across the compound. For many of the incarcerated\, physical movement signifies aliveness – meaning that incarceration forces them to question if they are less alive than the “inanimate” materials that confine them. Others understand these movements as the direct violence of the state that represent purposeful disruptions to the ways they construct relations. In this context\, incarcerated peoples’ alive status is no longer a given and their relations no longer assumed to be inherent and ongoing\, but rather\, processes to be negotiated within criminal punishment systems. I focus on what these movements mean to incarcerated people\, and how they situate these movements within often competing ontological frameworks informed by histories of and ongoing settler violence in what came to be known as the United States. \n\nContent warning: There are examples of physical violence\, carceral trauma\, and feelings of self-harm in this presentation.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nDr. Macario Garcia is a cultural anthropologist with a focus on mobility\, animacy\, incarceration\, and prison-industrial complex abolition. They earned their PhD from the University of Virginia and MA degrees from University of Virginia and American Public University. They are currently partnering with incarcerated people to create maps of carceral migration in the United States and to document oral histories across correctional landscapes.

For instance\, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) requires that molecules interact with the metal surface at short distances of 2 nm or less without disrupting the surface atoms. In this presentation\, anisotropic nanostructures such as gold nanostars will be used in conjunction with SERS to detect trace molecules. Two challenges and approaches to better predict structure-function behavior of noble metal nanoparticles will be discussed. A combination of experimental measurements that provide molecular-level insight coupled with semi-empirical modeling will be shown to improve the systematic use of gold nanostars by providing a method for predicting the stability and hence\, the fate of nanomaterials in various environmental conditions. After these considerations\, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy and SERS will be exploited for the direct\, qualitative and quantitative detection of small biologically relevant molecules. In the future\, these results could be expanded for different nanomaterial shapes\, compositions\, and molecular targets.\nAmanda Haes (University of Iowa) UID:97042-21793744@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/97042 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220822T155024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Hopwood Tea DESCRIPTION:The Hopwood Program is pleased to announce the return of Hopwood Teas for the 2022-23 academic year.

We use nonlinear ordinary differential equations to mathematically model these processes in the deterministic regime. If a given process occurs at disparate time-scales\, we can further reduce the number of equations to obtain a quasi-steady-state approximation of the system. In this talk\, we consider a significant mechanism in chemical kinetics called the Michaelis–Menten reaction and its different quasi-steady-state reductions. We focus on the challenges faced in applying classical reduction theory on the system and the conditions under which its reductions are valid in the stochastic regime. We make use of a stochastic simulation algorithm called the Gillespie algorithm to demonstrate the accuracy of the reduced systems and to disprove a commonly-accepted qualifier for the validity of the stochastic approximation.

We show that although the autocrat always wants to co-opt the military\, this is not necessarily true of the clerics. Exclusive co-option of the military obtains where the loyalty of the autocrat’s army is strong while the organizational strength of religious movements is rather low. Radical institutional reforms can then be implemented. Empirically\, the dominant regime in contemporary Muslim countries is the regime of double co-option where the autocrat resorts to a double-edged tactic: pleasing the official clerics by slowing the pace of reforms\, and ensuring the loyalty of the military so as to put down clerics-led rebellions.

Specifically\, we develop a method based on the sequential quadratic programming paradigm that employs variance reduction in the gradient approximations. Under reasonable assumptions\, we prove that a measure of first-order stationarity evaluated at the iterates generated by our proposed algorithm converges to zero in expectation from arbitrary starting points\, for both constant and adaptive step size strategies. Finally\, we demonstrate the practical performance of our proposed algorithm on constrained binary classification problems that arise in machine learning.

As Cheech himself jests\, “people know me from the womb to the tomb.\" Widely acknowledged as a cultural icon\, he is perhaps best known as one half of the hilariously irreverent\, satirical\, counterculture comedy duo Cheech &\; Chong\, which found commercial and cultural success with their stand up routines\, studio recordings\, and feature films. He has also voiced characters in several Disney films\, including Oliver &\; Company\, The Lion King\, the Cars series\, and Coco.\nIn addition to a successful life in entertainment\, Cheech Marin is recognized today as a preeminent advocate for Chicano art. In the mid-1980’s\, he began developing what is now arguably the finest private collection of Chicano art. In addition to artwork loans to numerous institutions\, this notable collection has been featured in over a dozen exhibitions organized and shown at more than 50 museums in the U.S. Comprising mostly paintings\, followed by drawings\, prints\, mixed-media artworks\, sculptures\, and photography\, the collection now serves as the core of The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art &\; Culture of Riverside Art Museum\, which opened in June 2022. A long-term goal of “The Cheech” is to supplement and expand the collection with Chicano artists\, media\, and subject matter not currently included through acquisitions and donations from artists and their estates\, art collectors\, dealers\, and institutions.\nCheech was born Richard Marin in South Central Los Angeles and was an Angeleno until a move to Canada\, where he serendipitously met Tommy Chong. He moved back to Los Angeles with Chong and their comedy duo proved entertainment gold. Six of their albums went gold\, four were nominated for Grammys\, and their Los Cochinos won the 1973 Grammy for Best Comedy Recording. The critically acclaimed duo made a fluid transition to films\, starring in eight features together. Their first -- Up In Smoke -- was the highest grossing comedy of 1978\, topping $100 million at the box office.\n\nFree of charge: use \"Related Link\" on right for complete details.

Personal info is recorded: height\, weight\, etc. In the process\, their humanity is denied.\n\nThis exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so\, those in prison reclaim their humanity.\n\nMuseum hours\nThursdays–Saturdays: 10:00 AM–5:00PM\nSundays: 1:00–5:00 PM UID:105624-21812526@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105624 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:27th Annual Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Detroit Historical Museum CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230219T113955 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T190000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Negotiation Workshop DESCRIPTION:Join GradSWE@University of Michigan & the teams at 81cents & Rora to get the tools\, information\, and data you need to negotiate your next offer more confidently.\n\nSome of the topics covered:\n- Understanding the fundamentals of compensation in tech (particularly around equity\, bonus structures\, etc.)\n- How to get over your fears of negotiating\n- How to decide which company / offer is right for you\n- How to negotiate without counter offers and without knowing \"market value\"\n- How to respond to pushback from recruiters and other guilt tripping / lowballing /pressure tactics\n- How to avoid having an offer rescinded\n- How to negotiate deadline of an offer\n- Walking through a timeline of the negotiation process for a new offer\n\nThe recording will be shared after with anyone who registers!\n\nRSVP is required.\nContact: Em Buten at butene@umich.edu UID:105151-21811187@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105151 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Engineering,Graduate Students,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230301T132942 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230309T200000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:Thursday Movie Night DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Connector every Thursday night for a movie!

It is an age-old dream. Google Books and HathiTrust have endeavored to fulfill it in the modern age. They are now well-established digital archives\, used by citizens\, scholars\, and students from around the world. The path to their creation was filled with aspirations and visions\, obstacles and hurdles\, negotiations and compromises. And the University of Michigan was at the center of these and other efforts in library digitization. Please join us for discussion with a panel of individuals who were intimately involved in the process: Paul Courant\, who as U-M Provost at the time shaped a visionary response to the opportunities of digitization and Google in particular\; Wendy Pradt Lougee\, who as head of the Graduate Library and of Digital Library Services spearheaded electronic access and nurtured innovative approaches to it\; John Wilkin\, a leader in digital humanities who provided leadership in negotiating critical understandings and agreements concerning usage of digital material\; and Roger Schonfeld\, co-author of Along Came Google: A History of Library Digitization\, which gives a comprehensive account of this important development in the history of modern access to knowledge.\n\nAs with all events at the Detroit Observatory\, visitors are invited to tour the Observatory after the event\, with observing if the weather permits.\n\nPaul Courant is the Edward M. Gramlich Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of Economics and Public Policy\, Harold T. Shapiro Collegiate Professor Emeritus of Public Policy\, AND Arthur F. Thurnau Professor Emeritus of Economics and Information at the University of Michigan. Among many roles at U-M\, Courant has served as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs\, as university librarian and dean of libraries\, and as director of the Institute of Public Policy Studies (predecessor of the Ford School). His academic work has recently focused on economic and policy questions relating to universities\, libraries and archives\, and the effects of new information technologies. He was a founding board member of both the HathiTrust Digital Library and the Digital Public Library of America.\n\nWendy Pradt Lougee served as University Librarian and Dean of Libraries\, and McKnight Presidential Professor at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities\, retiring in 2020. Prior to her appointment at the University of Minnesota in 2002\, Lougee held several positions at the University of Michigan over a 20-year period\, including Associate Director for Digital Library Services. Her work in launching and developing a digital library program at Michigan was recognized with the American Library Association’s Hugh Atkinson Award. Her research and publications have focused on digital library development\, information economics\, assessment of research behavior\, virtual organizations\, and e-research.\n\nRoger C. Schonfeld is the vice president of organizational strategy for ITHAKA and of Ithaka S+R’s libraries\, scholarly communication\, and museums program. With Deanna Marcum\, he wrote Along Came Google: A History of Library Digitization (Princeton University Press\, 2021)\, examining structural impediments to digital strategy and the role of an outside catalyst in fostering digitization among research libraries. Roger was previously at The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and currently serves board member for the Center for Research Libraries.\n\nJohn Wilkin is the Chief Executive Officer of Lyrasis. Prior to joining Lyrasis\, Wilkin served as the Dean of Libraries at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign from 2013-2022\, as well as UIUC’s Interim Provost from 2017-2018. He was the founding executive director of HathiTrust and served in that capacity from 2008 until 2013. Over the course of his career at the Universities of Michigan and Virginia\, Wilkin was an early leader in the development of digital libraries\, focusing on combining large-scale discovery with preservation strategies. He collaborated in creating the first legal agreement for the Google Books project. His focus on copyright and preservation played a pivotal role in HathiTrust’s Fair Use strategy\, which was successfully defended in court and underpins HathiTrust today.

LRW provides a unique\, interdisciplinary space where scholars across campus can share their research and build new connections. From March 13 to March 16\, 2023\, researchers will showcase their work through oral presentation sessions\, a poster session\, as well as attend other sponsored events. \n_____________\n\nTitle: Una persona tiene cada idea: Scope ambiguity intuitions by Spanish/English bilinguals\n\n This research examines the understudied question of how Spanish/English bilinguals interpret ambiguous sentences. In some languages like English and Spanish\, sentences with two expressions specifying quantity\, or quantifiers (for instance\, ‘every’\, ‘some’\, and ‘a’)\, are syntactically ambiguous\, meaning their structure permits two possible interpretations (see example 1). Although the construction is ambiguous\, research suggests that speakers of these languages tend to prefer one interpretation that is more instinctive. Furthermore\, some studies suggest that bilinguals may have a different intuitions of the sentence interpretation for each of their languages (Lee\, 2009\; Scontras et al.\, 2017). Importantly\, language dominance\, language proficiency and order of acquisition have been suggested as possible predictors of whether bilinguals do have a divergence between their two languages.\n\n(1) A person bought every book\n\nInterpretation 1: Say there are 10 books and all were bought by a single person\n\n Interpretation 2: Say there are 10 books and each was bought by a different person\n\nTo date\, research has not investigated how Spanish/English bilinguals interpret syntactically ambiguous sentences of quantifier scope. The current study therefore advances this research and also asks whether Spanish/English bilinguals show divergence in the two languages. Furthermore\, this work attempts to determine whether a given factor (language proficiency\, order of acquisition\, etc) better predicts divergence in the two languages\, if divergence arises. To answer these questions\, an experimental study is being conducted with 60 Mexican-Spanish/English heritage bilinguals. Participants complete three tasks: Judging whether a sentence is true or false to determine how instinctive the two possible interpretations are\, (2) a proficiency test in both languages\, and (3) a language background questionnaire to collect linguistic information of the participants. Pending complete data collection\, t-test and correlation analyses will be used to examine the results.

During his first years of adolescence\, Muzamil grows up like other children\, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19\, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.\n\nFilm Facts & Background:\nSince few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956\, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

Survivors Saving Survivors: Photographing the Ukrainian Refugee Experience in Poland DESCRIPTION:In April and June 2022\, at the invitation of JCC Krakow\, Chuck Fishman traveled to Poland to document the JCC and the Jewish community’s commitment to helping Ukrainian refugees fleeing their war-torn country. What he witnessed and captured in a series of gripping photographs is *tikkun olam*\, a central concept in Judaism that denotes activities that repair and improve the world we live in. The exhibit shifts the lens away from the horror the refugees have endured to focus instead on human goodness and how it can overcome lingering evil.\n\nIn his 45-year career\, freelance photographer Chuck Fishman has focused on social and political issues with a strong humanistic concern. His work on Jewish life in Poland\, begun in 1975\, continues to the present day. Fishman’s work has been extensively published\, exhibited\, and collected worldwide\, and has earned him prestigious World Press Photo Foundation medals four times. His photographs have appeared on the covers of *Time*\, *Life*\, *Fortune*\, *Newsweek*\, *The London Sunday Times*\, *The Economist*\, and numerous others. Fishman’s work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery\, the United Nations POLIN: The Museum of the History of Polish Jews\, and the Stanford University and New York Public Libraries\, to name a few\, as well as private and corporate collections.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race\, spirituality\, history\, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter\, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown\, which is evident in his work. \n\nMorris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age\, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However\, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother\, Dell Pryor\, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades\, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans\, Hugh Grannum\, Lester Sloan\, Al Loving\, Gilda Snowden\, Shirley Woodson\, Anthony Barboza\, and Eric Pryor among others. \n\nIn 2008\, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit)\, a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society. \n\nIn 2019\, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage\, photo montage\, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works\, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

Moreover\, it has since been argued that the asymptotic covariance of the method is best possible among any estimation procedure in a local minimax sense of H´ajek and Le Cam. A long-standing open question in this line of work is whether similar guarantees hold for important non-smooth problems\, such as stochastic nonlinear programming or stochastic variational inequalities. In this work\, we show that this is indeed the case. This is joint work with Damek Davis and Liwei Jiang.

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.

For a sufficiently nice manifold X\, Church--Ellenberg--Farb proved that the k-th homology of the ordered configuration space of n points in X stabilizes in a representation theoretic sense as n increases. Miller--Wilson extended this first-order representation stability to more general X\, and they proved that there is a second-order representation stability pattern among the unstable homology classes. \n\nThe homology of the ordered configuration space of open unit-diameter disks in the infinite strip of width w has an algebraic structure\, that of a twisted algebra\, and we find a finite presentation for homology as such. We use this presentation to show that the ordered configuration space of open unit-diameter disks in the infinite strip of width w exhibits notions of first- through w/2-th-order representation stability\, recovering several classical results for configurations of points in the plane in the process. In the case of the infinite strip of width 2\, we use first-order representation stability to decompose homology as a direct sum of induced symmetric group representations. Additionally\, we show that second-order representation stability for configurations of points in a manifold can be much more complex than first-order representation stability.\n\nHYBRID Defense: 2058 East Hall\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98747130770?pwd=Tlk3aW00SklSMXJIOU0rRjk3RVlVdz09 UID:105705-21812817@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105705 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 2058 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230308T121809 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230310T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230310T112000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Energy Transitions in Regulated Markets DESCRIPTION:Electricity generation is a critically important component of the economy and modern life. However\, it also generates substantial negative externalities. In particular\, electricity generation in the U.S. contributed 31% of U.S. CO2 emissions in 2019 (Energy Information Agency\, 2020). Beyond its climate change impacts\, electricity generation also emits substan- tial local pollutants that harm human health\, with damages for the U.S. estimated at $57.3 billion in 2017 (Holland et al.\, 2020). \n\nAt the same time that research has highlighted the importance of the damages from emissions\, we are in the middle of two major transitions in electricity generation. First\, over the past two decades\, the cost of generating electricity with natural gas has plummeted. This was caused by the pairing of combined cycle generation technology with hydraulic fracturing\, which has resulted in gas plants becoming more efficient at the same time that natural gas fuel prices have fallen. Second\, the costs of large-scale solar panels and batteries have both dropped over 80% since 2010 (International Renewable Energy Agency\, 2020\; Cole and Frazier\, 2019\; Goldie-Scot\, 2019). Given these cost declines and the substantially lower pollution externalities from renewables\, a transition to renewable energy appears imminent. \n\nThese transitions are occurring in a highly regulated environment. Electric utilities’ investment and pricing decisions have historically been regulated as natural monopolies. The 1990s saw extensive electricity deregulation in the U.S. and Europe. In the U.S.\, this deregulatory push ended with the California electricity crisis of the early 2000s\, leaving a patchwork system where different states have substantially different levels of regulatory control. \n\nIn its simplest form\, regulation of utilities’ pricing and investment sets electricity prices such that firms earn a “fair” rate-of-return on their capital. The canonical model of rate- of-return regulation\, Averch and Johnson (1962) (AJ)\, shows that utilities will respond to this type of regulation by over-investing in capital\, suggesting that regulated utilities may have an incentive to over-invest in capacity in these new technologies. However\, AJ cannot directly be applied to electricity generation since many of their fundamental assumptions (e.g. elastic demand) do not fit this sector. Moreover\, anecdotal evidence suggests that regulated utilities transition more slowly than others: the restructured states of Texas and California lead the U.S. in renewable energy production by a substantial margin (U.S. Energy Information Agency\, 2020)\, and nuclear power plants in states undergoing restructuring disproportionately closed (Davis and Wolfram\, 2012). \n\nIn this paper we investigate whether the regulatory structure has impeded energy tran- sitions to new technologies and whether it incentivizes utilities to use the existing capital stock inefficiently. To do this\, we will develop and estimate a model of regulation with plant investment and exit over the long-run and electricity generation and import decisions in the short-run. Our model builds on the AJ framework in a way that allows us to model the electricity industry. The ultimate goal of this paper is to evaluate how potential regulatory structures could impact the transition to renewable energy. \n\nIn the twenty-first century\, the fuel used to generate the majority of electricity in the 1 U.S. has transitioned from coal to natural gas. This has led to a 28% reduction in CO2 emissions between 2005 and 2018 and lower local air pollution (U.S. Energy Information Administration\, 2018). Two major technological innovations facilitated the evolution toward natural gas. First\, combined cycle natural gas generation technology dramatically increased the efficiency with which generators could turn natural gas into electricity. Second\, hydraulic fracturing (fracking) has drastically increased the quantity of economically accessible natural gas reserves in the U.S.\, thereby lowering natural gas prices. \n\nWith the recent declines in solar and battery technology prices\, we are on the cusp of an- other energy transition. These transitions are occurring in a partially regulated environment\, with investment and pricing requiring state Public Utility Commission (PUC) approval in some states but not in others. Even in restructured markets—which have undergone some deregulation—while investment into and exit out of generation are deregulated\, decisions on the transmission and distribution of electricity and final consumer prices often still require PUC approval. This makes understanding the policies that facilitated (or hindered) the transition from coal to natural gas paramount. \n\nThis paper seeks to understand how the regulatory structure affects energy transitions. In particular\, we ask two key questions. First\, how does regulation affect the rate at which electricity generation transitions to new technologies? Second\, given the existing generation capacity at any point in time\, how does regulation affect the use of different generators? To answer these questions\, we develop and estimate a model of utility investment and usage under regulation. Our model has both long-run investment and exit and short-run operations components. In the long-run\, the regulated utility decides on the amount of coal generation to retire and of natural gas generation to adopt. Within each year\, however\, the utility makes generation decisions given its investment decisions and exogenous fuel prices. We seek to understand how different regulatory structures would affect energy transitions—both from coal to natural gas generation and\, looking forward\, to renewable electricity generation. \n\nTo understand the current regulatory structure\, we adapt the canonical model of regula- tion (Averch and Johnson\, 1962\, AJ). In the AJ model\, the regulated utility is constrained to a maximum return on capital but can price as a monopolist given this constraint. This model is limited in the context of electricity\, because electricity demand is highly inelastic implying that the AJ prices are infinite under many functional forms. Thus\, our goal is to develop and estimate an updated model of electricity regulation that incorporates key specifics of this sector and that generates predictions that are in line with the observed data. To do this\, we start with a model where\, each period\, regulators deem a set of capital owned by the utility to be effective\, representing the “used and useful” standards that state PUCs typically employ. The regulator then reimburses the utility for marginal costs and allows it to earn a rate-of-return on its effective capital. This rate-of-return decreases in consumer electricity rates in order to incentivize the utility to lower costs. The utility chooses its generation and investment decisions to maximize profits in this regulatory environment. \n\nOur model of regulation innovates relative to AJ in three dimensions. First\, unlike AJ\, the rate-of-return that the utility can earn is declining in the final consumer price of electric- ity. This both recognizes political economy constraints (Wilson\, 2019\; Hausman\, 2019) and prevents the utility from charging arbitrarily high prices\, which it could feasibly do under 2 AJ’s rate-of-return formulation by investing in an immense capital stock. Second\, in order to model the used and useful standard\, we assume that if the utility does not operate the plant sufficiently\, it will not receive the rate-of-return on the entire plant capital. This allows for regulation to potentially distort short-run operation decisions in addition to investment decisions\, in particular leading to the overuse of old\, inefficient generators (Daniel et al.\, 2020).

The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name\, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height\, weight\, etc. In the process\, their humanity is denied.\n\nThis exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so\, those in prison reclaim their humanity.\n\nMuseum hours\nThursdays–Saturdays: 10:00 AM–5:00PM \nSundays: 1:00–5:00 PM UID:105623-21812453@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105623 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:27th Annual Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Detroit Historical Museum CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230120T105831 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230310T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230310T110000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:La Tertulia DESCRIPTION:All Students & Levels Welcome! \n\nJoin us every Friday through April 14\, 2023!\n\n* Enjoy free coffee & snacks\n* Improve & practice your Spanish\n* Meet other students & instructors\n* Get advice on courses\n* Discuss study abroad UID:103043-21805765@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/103043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Language,Languages,Romance Languages And Literatures,Spanish Studies LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - 4th Floor Commons CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230224T105941 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230310T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230310T110000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:New Opportunities from Bold Challenges: Programs\, Funding Opportunities\, and Better Ways to Meet Collaborators DESCRIPTION:Learn more about the opportunities offered by the University of Michigan Bold Challenges Initiative for researchers to meet collaborators\, build great teams and develop competitive proposals for external funding.

The ruggedness of its terrain belies its prosperity\, and\, during the regionally destructive transition from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages\, Kalymnians distinguish themselves from their neighbors by the construction of fortifications\, in contrast to other islanders’ flight and dispersal. Reporting on a preliminary season of site visits and GIS recording\, I place Kalymnos within the context of debates on settlement\, conflict\, and economy in the tumultuous seventh century A.D. From recalibrations of previous GIS calculations to the ‘discovery’ of entirely undocumented ancient settlements\, this presentation represents the transition from unwilling armchair archaeology to the long-awaited field-testing of myriad half-blind hypotheses against the truth of the ground\, and the knowledge of local experts.

To date\, leader inclusivity has been conceptualized as a relational approach that builds an equally shared sense of group membership among employees while fostering an appreciation for the unique value of each individual. Yet\, broader systems\, norms\, and practices in organizations can also elicit exclusion. Through an inductive investigation of leader inclusivity\, in a sample of 47 minority-identified employees in STEM organizations\, we find that leader inclusivity was perceived as centering on leaders’ actions to combat inequitable systems\, norms\, and practices. Further\, because these equity-oriented actions were thought to be controversial in nature\, we find that such actions provoked adversarial responses from employees who are invested in the status quo. In turn\, we reveal that leaders must also manage these responses effectively\, in order for inclusivity to be sustained. Taken together\, and departing significantly from current conceptualizations of leader inclusivity\, we find that minority employees view leader inclusivity as a set of pathways which are each set in motion via leaders’ actions to combat inequity. Our results inform a more processual\, systemic\, equity-based approach to studying and practicing leader inclusivity.

The country was operating through fire and blood! The judicial system was destroyed – judges and lawyers had been killed or exiled in neighboring countries. To judge the genocidaires\, the government decided to reintroduce the Traditional Jurisdictions Courts called Gacaca. This talk will emphasize what Gacaca did as a court and how it worked during the trials\; the digitization process of the 45 million pages of Gacaca files\; and the impact of the Gacaca files on society after the digitization.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information Data\, Archives\, and Information Seminar\; African Studies Center\; Museum Studies Program\; Ethics\, Society and Computing\; and Franklin Innovator Residency Fund.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nWith a PhD in education from the University of Geneva\, I have substantial experience working with the United Nations\, international non-governmental organizations\, non-profit organizations\, and governments on projects related to equitable and sustainable education curricula. As the Director General of the Research and Documentation Center on Genocide at the Rwanda National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG)\, I managed and led research projects as well as designed\, implemented\, monitored\, and assessed projects related to the Genocide against the Tutsi. Key projects included the digitization of forty-five million pages and four thousand audio-visual materials from Rwanda’s Gacaca Courts\, the preservation of textiles at the Nyamata genocide memorial site\, the preservation of bodies at the Murambi genocide memorial site\, and the preservation of artifacts in six other national genocide memorial sites in Rwanda. Between 2013 and 2015\, I also participated in a team responsible for designing Rwanda’s new national education curriculum for history and civic education. I am currently a Consultant with the International Labour Organization (ILO) for their Accelerator Lab 8.7 Program\, which provides funding and support to international organizations with innovative solutions to tackle child labor\, forced labor\, and human trafficking.

She will be introduced by Ph.D. candidate Lauren Beck\, one of Frenk's translators\, who organized this event and will lead the discussion. \n\nAt the age six\, Kira\, the protagonist of ewig her und gar nicht wahr\, had migrated from Moldova to Germany with her Jewish Russian family. Now in her thirties\, Kira lives in Berlin\, and yet she does not seem to have truly arrived in Germany or even the present. Violent hallucinations interrupt her otherwise secure life as a mother and teacher. In fragmented scenes of personal and family memory\, Kira contextualizes her failing grasp on reality through a tangled web of family traumas and their historical contexts.\n\nFrenk’s autofictional novel asks: what remains of identity after multiple generations of uprootedness? How does one engage with an unknown generational trauma? Is it possible to live outside of national or even familial systems?\n\nIn addition to writing\, Frenk performs as a musician and actress at the Gorki Theater in Berlin\, and she will share some of her musical work as well. \n\nThe event organizers invite attendees to participate in English and in German. The readings will be held in German.

Preparing text\, audio\, and video data for analysis and running those analyses involves linking contemporary computational tools with datasets and major research challenges in ways that cut across disciplines. Building bridges between data scientists who develop the tools to analyze these data and social scientists who have datasets to address research questions in unprecedented ways that could benefit from them is critical for both opening the world of these new data and refining the tools for analysis.\n \nThe Social Research with Unstructured Data: Connection Series\, jointly sponsored by MIDAS\, the AI Lab and ISR\, is designed to build connections between social scientists and data scientists to improve scholarship in both arenas. Scholars in both groups present research vision and cutting-edge methodology that could benefit from additional interdisciplinary collaboration and theorizing. The series connects faculty\, research scientists\, postdoctoral\, and graduate students to help build major research projects from their vision\, find the right methods for their data\, identify collaborators\, or find scholars who can help trial run the tools they have developed. \n \nEvents will be held from 2:00-3:30 PM in ISR 6050 (426 Thompson Street)\, with meetings in January\, February\, March\, April\, and May. Refreshments provided.

This presentation will summarize new developments to create resilient and sustainable cities through research on the built environment across several themes. Research on resilience highlights the development of structural systems that are able to be returned to use quickly after extreme events. Sustainable engineering\, in turn\, highlights research on strategies for developing new structural systems that greatly decrease the amount of energy\, material waste\, pollution\, and greenhouse gas emissions in construction and use of buildings and other structures. Urban engineering summarizes approaches for conducting regional simulations to predict the impacts and opportunities across urban regions that are designed with more sustainable and resilient civil engineering solutions. By directly addressing resilience and sustainability in structural design and regional assessment\, this work offers insights into how engineering innovations can be used to create a new generation of solutions for urban regions. \n\nA panel discussion will follow the lecture. Our distinguished panelists include: Lawrence F. Kruth\, Kruth Engineering\, LLC\, Former Vice President of Engineering & Research at AISC\; Jason McCormick\, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, University of Michigan\; and Tabitha Stine\, General Manager of Construction Solutions Services at Nucor Corporation.

This is exemplified by the prominent bend in the Hawaiian–Emperor seamount change which seems to indicate that the Pacific Plate abruptly changed its direction from mostly motion to the north to the west. The Izu-Bonin-Mariana (IBM) and the Tonga-Kermadec subduction zones formed at the same time and investigators have long empirically linked IBM formation and Pacific Plate motion with the initiation of this vast subduction system pulling the Pacific to the west. I shed new light on this topic by describing results from ocean drilling in the IBM system and the southwest Pacific within the context of a new generation of global geodynamic models which realistically treats the mechanics of subduction and plate tectonics. Both an abrupt Pacific Plate motion change and a change in mantle plume dynamics have been proposed to account for the Hawaiian–Emperor Bend\, but debates surround the relative contribution of the two mechanisms. I’ll describe plate reconstructions and high-resolution global dynamic models that quantify the amount of Pacific Plate motion change. The models show that ridge demise as well as Izu–Bonin–Mariana subduction initiation are incapable of causing a sudden change in plate motion\, challenging the conventional hypothesis on the mechanisms of Pacific Plate motion change. Instead\, Palaeocene intraoceanic subduction in the northern Pacific (long known from the geology of Kamchatka) exerts a northward pull on the Pacific Plate\, while its Eocene demise leads to a sudden 30–35° change in plate motion\, accounting for about half of the Hawaiian–Emperor Bend. I suggest the Pacific Plate motion change and hotspot drift due to plume dynamics could have contributed nearly equally to the formation of the Hawaiian Emperor Bend.

In the Aftermath of the Divine Winds: Religious Responses to the Mongol Threat and the Medieval Reimagining of Japan DESCRIPTION:Twice in the late thirteenth century\, the Mongol empire launched attack fleets against Japan. On both occasions\, they were repelled by fortuitous storms. Scholarly accounts of the Mongol threat have focused on Japan’s military defense. However\, massive efforts were also poured into ritual countermeasures: Sacred texts were copied and recited\, buddha images commissioned\, and enemy-subduing rites performed. The failure of the invasion attempts was attributed to the intervention of Japan’s local deities (kami) and catalyzed a conceptual inversion of Japan’s cosmological status\, from “a marginal land in the last age” to a timeless\, inviolable realm at the very center of the Buddhist world.\n\nBio: Jacqueline Stone is professor emerita of Japanese Religions in the Religion Department of Princeton University. She focuses on Japanese Buddhism of the medieval and modern periods. Her current research interests include traditions of the Lotus Sutra\, particularly the Tendai and Nichiren sects\; Buddhism and Japanese identity formation\; and modern reinterpretations of Buddhist thought and practice. She is the author of Original Enlightenment and the Transformation of Medieval Japanese Buddhism (1999) and Right Thoughts at the Last Moment: Buddhism and Deathbed Practices in Early Medieval Japan (2016).

Those closed-form models allowed our understanding of the physical world to advance for the past centuries. However\, accurately deriving computationally efficient\, and explainable models for systems like the financial market\, the climate or an epidemic disease remains a challenging problem. This indicates the need for a different approach to construct mathematical models that circumvent explicit analytical formulation.\n\nIn my talk\, I will discuss\, how the construction of models directly from observations/data is possible for stochastic differential equations. I will portray that deep learning architectures based on numerical stochastic integrators\, such as the Euler-Maruyama\, can be used to learn/identify data-driven stochastic differential equations directly from data [1]. I will illustrate how identified effective stochastic differential equations can be constructed in physical-interpretable coarse variables when they are available\, but also on latent data-driven observables using the manifold learning scheme Diffusion Maps [2]. I will provide examples to illustrate this approach for (a) electric-field mediated colloidal crystallization using data obtained from Brownian Dynamics Simulations [3\,4] (b) a Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible adaptive network [5] and (c) an event-driven agent-based financial model [6\,7].\n\nReferences: \n[1] Dietrich\, F.\, Makeev\, A.\, Kevrekidis\, G.\, Evangelou\, N.\, Bertalan\, T.\, Reich\, S.\, & Kevrekidis\, I.

Manto’s work troubles the distinction between progressivism and modernism\, and points to the formal experimentation that pervaded mid twentieth-century Urdu writing. In this talk\, I focus on what I identify as Manto’s prose poems in Siyah Hashiye\, which may be the most powerful and unsettling work of fiction on the Partition. Manto blends aspects of ghazal poetry with attention to print layout to produce an experience of the now that rejects the lyrical while also invoking it. By placing Manto within the context of contemporary modernist poets N.M. Rashed and Miraji\, this talk shows how Siyah Hashiye responded to experiments with free verse and ideas of modern poetry to create a kind of anti-poetry. As such\, the talk outlines the importance of poetic experimentation for postcolonial South Asian literatures and exposes how Partition occasioned formal as well as thematic breaks.\n \nJennifer Dubrow is Associate Professor of Urdu at the University of Washington\, Seattle. She is the author of Cosmopolitan Dreams: The Making of Modern Urdu Literary Culture in Colonial South Asia (University of Hawai’i Press\, 2018\; Permanent Black\, 2019)\, as well as several articles on modern Urdu prose fiction. She is writing a book\, currently titled Partitioned Forms\, on Progressivism\, modernism\, and formal experimentation in Urdu fiction from the 1930s to the 1960s.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Fruit of the Poisonous Tree: The Marcos Diaries DESCRIPTION:In his haste to evacuate the Malacañang Presidential Palace in February 1986\, former Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos left many handwritten diaries covering the years 1969-1984. While the originals are in the custody of the Presidential Commission on Good Government\, unofficial copies have been circulating for years.\n\nPreparing the diaries of publication entailed collating\, validating\, and annotating entries from different sources\, contemporary newspapers\, the *Official Gazette*\, and declassified U.S. State Department records. The project is not just an exercise in documentary editing but being critical of Marcos’ self-referential and biased view of events. In light of the current rewriting of the first Marcos presidency\, these documents are double-edged\, the fruit of the poisonous tree.\n\nAmbeth R.

During his first years of adolescence\, Muzamil grows up like other children\, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19\, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.\n\nFilm Facts & Background:\nSince few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956\, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name\, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height\, weight\, etc. In the process\, their humanity is denied.\n\nThis exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so\, those in prison reclaim their humanity.\n\nMuseum hours\nThursdays–Saturdays: 10:00 AM–5:00PM \nSundays: 1:00–5:00 PM UID:105623-21812454@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105623 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:27th Annual Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Detroit Historical Museum CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230220T092931 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230311T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230311T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Family Friendly Saturday Morning Physics | Physics Goes BOOM: Energy in Action!

During his first years of adolescence\, Muzamil grows up like other children\, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19\, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.\n\nFilm Facts & Background:\nSince few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956\, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name\, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height\, weight\, etc. In the process\, their humanity is denied.\n\nThis exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so\, those in prison reclaim their humanity.\n\nMuseum hours\nThursdays–Saturdays: 10:00 AM–5:00PM \nSundays: 1:00–5:00 PM UID:105623-21812455@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105623 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:27th Annual Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Detroit Historical Museum CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220818T100608 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230312T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230312T120000 SUMMARY:Ceremony / Service:Sunday Celebration DESCRIPTION:The school year is about to begin!

They will be joined by Queenae Taylor Mulvihill and two of the Maasai personalities featured in the film: Evalyne Mkulati Leng’arwa and Eliah Parpulis Madukuli.\n\n\nABOUT THE FILM:\n\"Maasai Remix\" follows three Maasai individuals who—in the United Nations\, a Tanzanian village\, an American university—confront challenges and bring hope to their community by drawing strength from local traditions\, modifying them when necessary\, and melding them with new resources. Adam Ole Mwarabu advocates for Maasai pastoralists rights to land in international political spheres. Evalyne Mkulati pursues a college education in the USA\, having convinced her father to return 12 cows to a man contracted to marry her. Frank Ole Kaipai\, the village chairman\, faces opposition as he promotes secondary school education and tries to save the village forest. Sharing a goal of Maasai self-determination in an ever-changing world\, Adam\, Evalyne and Frank innovate while maintaining an abiding respect and love for their culture.\n\nABOUT THE DIRECTORS:\nThe award-winning team of filmmaker Ron Mulvihill and anthropologist Kelly Askew has produced several films on Tanzania\, exploring topics from Zanzibar orchestral music to contemporary Maasai lifeways: \"Poetry in Motion: 100 Years of Zanzibar’s Nadi Ikhwan Safaa\" (Buda Musique\, 2012)\; and \"Orkiteng Loorbaak: Rite of Elders\" (2017).\n\nRon Mulvihill’s feature film \"Maangamizi: The Ancient One\" won the 2004 Paul Robeson Award for Best Feature Film and was Tanzania’s official selection at the 74th Academy Awards. His film \"The Marriage of Mariamu\" won Best Short Film\, the OAU Award\, and the Journalists and Critics Award at FESPACO\, Africa’s leading film festival (1985).\n\nKelly Askew\, an anthropologist with over 30 years of experience in Tanzania and Kenya and chair of the U-M Department of Anthropology\, has worked on several documentary films\, including \"The Chairman and the Lions\" (Documentary Educational Resources\, 2012)\, and a Hollywood feature\, \"The Ghost and the Darkness\" (Paramount Pictures\, 1996).

Love is an art\,\" sings Vanessa Carlton on the title track of her new \"Love Is an Art.\" Like the recording itself\, the song is a meditation on the eternal seesaw that is human connection: the push\, the pull\, the balance\, the bottoming out. It's that constantly evolving nature of love Vanessa explores\, from romantic\, to parental\, to the friends that hold us up and the leaders that repeatedly let us down. And on tracks like the album's opener\, \"I Can't Stay the Same\,\" that also includes the relationship with the person staring back at us in the mirror\, each and every morning.

During his first years of adolescence\, Muzamil grows up like other children\, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19\, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.\n\nFilm Facts & Background:\nSince few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956\, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

Survivors Saving Survivors: Photographing the Ukrainian Refugee Experience in Poland DESCRIPTION:In April and June 2022\, at the invitation of JCC Krakow\, Chuck Fishman traveled to Poland to document the JCC and the Jewish community’s commitment to helping Ukrainian refugees fleeing their war-torn country. What he witnessed and captured in a series of gripping photographs is *tikkun olam*\, a central concept in Judaism that denotes activities that repair and improve the world we live in. The exhibit shifts the lens away from the horror the refugees have endured to focus instead on human goodness and how it can overcome lingering evil.\n\nIn his 45-year career\, freelance photographer Chuck Fishman has focused on social and political issues with a strong humanistic concern. His work on Jewish life in Poland\, begun in 1975\, continues to the present day. Fishman’s work has been extensively published\, exhibited\, and collected worldwide\, and has earned him prestigious World Press Photo Foundation medals four times. His photographs have appeared on the covers of *Time*\, *Life*\, *Fortune*\, *Newsweek*\, *The London Sunday Times*\, *The Economist*\, and numerous others. Fishman’s work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery\, the United Nations POLIN: The Museum of the History of Polish Jews\, and the Stanford University and New York Public Libraries\, to name a few\, as well as private and corporate collections.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

On display is material drawn from the University of Michigan collections dealing with the history of early astronomy: manuscripts\, early printed books\, and artifacts illustrating Mesopotamian\, Greek\, Islamic\, and Western European astronomy.\n\nThis exhibit and its permanent online counterpart (https://umlib.us/earlyastronomy) are part of the Aratus Project\, which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and led by Prof. Francesca Schironi. The core of the project has been to study Aratus’ \"Phaenomena\,\" the most important poem on stars and constellations of the Graeco-Roman ancient world\, and its exegetical tradition. Read an annotated edition and English translation of \"Phaenomena\" and its commentaries (https://aratus.classics.lsa.umich.edu/).

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.

Deeply rooted in community\, she cultivates and reaffirms the human connections that ultimately sustain us. Her recent work explores the emergent themes of belonging as seen through the histories of student rebellions in Chicago public schools between 1968 and 1980.\n\nHer site-specific installation *With Care*\, created for the Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, presents the documentary photographs of influential Mexican-born artist\, teacher\, and friend Diana Solís in visual dialogue with Marroquin’s own creative work which includes ceramic sculptures and printmaking. Solís’s photography reflects over 25 years of transnational Chicana and lesbian organizing primarily in Chicago and Mexico City between 1975 and 1990. \n\nAbout the Artist\nNicole Marroquin is an interdisciplinary artist\, researcher\, and teacher educator whose work explores spatial justice and Latinx history. Marroquin works with youth and communities to decenter dominant narratives and to address displacement and erasure. Her current work explores belonging through histories of student rebellions in Chicago Public Schools from 1968 to 1980. Through research and creative practice\, she aims to recover and re-present histories of Black and brown youth and women’s leadership in the struggle for justice in Chicago. \n\nMarroquin has presented her work at the Kochi Biennale\, the Annual Conference of the American Association of Research Librarians\, University of Maine\, New York Archivist Round Table\, Jane Addams Hull House Museum\, Northwestern University\, DePaul Museum of Art\, on WLPN Lumpen Radio\, Gallery 400\, Hyde Park Art Center and more.

The word sends shivers up the spine of even the most experienced scholars. Assessment is one of the most challenging\, fraught\, and effective endeavors that we deal with as public scholars\, community engagement professionals\, and change agents. But does assessment have to be so stressful? So inauthentic? Devoid of values? The quick answer: no!\nAssessment can be so much more than ticking boxes\, taking surveys\, and statistics. It can be dynamic\, engaging\, authentic\, and reaffirming. In this workshop\, we will help participants reimagine their relationship with assessment and develop ways of centering an equity-based\, inclusive\, democratic assessment process in their work. These workshops will guide participants through a series of activities to reimagine their assessment work using the framework of democratically-engaged assessment (DEA) as a lens. Following a conceptual introduction and initial engagement with the framework\, participants will examine their assessment practices and develop an action plan for their own work in a specific arena. Reflective exercises and collaborative activities will help participants surface their assumptions about the role of values in assessment\, the values they enact through their assessment\, tension points that arise across phases of assessment\, and opportunities to negotiate tensions through the lens of DEA. In keeping with the tenets of the framework\, participants will not only enhance their own work\, but also will contribute to the ongoing and co-creative development of the DEA framework itself.\n\nPart 1: Reimagining Assessment for Public Scholarship\nIntention: This workshop will cover the basics of assessment\, bust some myths\, introduce some framings and tools\, and explore examples of the spectrum of assessment.\n\nBios:\nJulia Metzker serves as director of the Washington Center for Improving Undergraduate Education at the Evergreen State College.

Moduli spaces that parametrize such structures are called strata\, and there is still much to discover of their global topology. These strata admit a decomposition into finitely many polytopal regions parametrized by certain triangulations of translation surfaces (L-infinity Delaunay triangulations). These regions intersect each other in pathological ways (the \"infinite adjacency phenomenon\")\, but we resolve these pathologies to obtain finite simplicial models for strata. Our methods also show that there is an induced polytopal decomposition on subvarieties of strata called Teichmüller curves.\n\nHYBRID Defense: \nIn person: 2058 East Hall Psych Conference Room\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95915733517?pwd=NjZ1NVB4WnYwMjBrazA1NnB5TFNsQT09 UID:105783-21812941@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/105783 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 2058 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230120T101815 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230313T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230313T140000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Family Secrets: Uncovering Identity in 19th-Century America DESCRIPTION:This student-curated exhibit focuses on the theme of secrecy and how it has shaped our inquiry into how the family\, as an institution and an ideal at the heart of debates about American identity and national belonging\, has changed over time.\n\nThe materials gathered here represented various ways in which cultural concepts of family evolved in both public and private ways. \n\nPlease enter through the North Entrance (glass vestibule) that faces the Hatcher Graduate Library.\n\nCurated by: Grace Argo and the Students of History 195\, Fall 2022\, with Maggie Vanderfold and Julie Fremuth at the Clements Library.

Her doctoral work was performed at Harvard in the laboratory of Jack Szostak where she studied RNA enzymes and developed methodologies for evolving RNAs in vitro. She came to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1998 following post-doctoral work in Harry Noller’s lab at University of California Santa Cruz where she began her work on ribosomes. Her laboratory is interested in deciphering the molecular mechanisms that are at the heart of protein synthesis and its regulation across biology. Most recently\, her work has focused on ribosome-mediated quality control systems that are triggered on difficult-to-translate mRNA sequences deriving from genetic or environmental insults. She has found that such translational distress leads not only to mRNA-specific QC events\, but also to the activation of cell-wide signaling and transcriptional responses\, mediated by factors that specifically bind to colliding ribosomes. Her laboratory uses both biochemical\, genetic\, proteomic and genomic approaches to get at these questions in bacterial and eukaryotic systems.\n\nShe is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of molecular biology and genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a HHMI Investigator.\n\nLecture is made possible by a gift from her family in memory of Priscilla Connell\, a renowned nature photography.\n\nHost: Morgan DeSantis UID:104914-21810438@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/104914 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Lecture,Natural Sciences,Research LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Amphitheatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230220T181533 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230313T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230313T161500 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Ph.D. Connections Career Conference Career Panel: Consulting DESCRIPTION:Panelists will share insights about the business challenges they take on in their consulting roles.

Based on the simultaneous measurement of scintillating (S) and Cherenkov (C) light\, the dual-readout calorimetric technique is one of the solutions proposed for overcoming this problem and compensating for it\, on an event-by-event basis. In this talk\, we will quickly review the work done so far on dual-readout calorimeters and show their impressive potential\, in particular when coupled with a highly granular readout system. On top of that\, time measurements may complement the 2D imaging capabilities of a fibre-sampling calorimeter and provide information on the shower longitudinal profile. Finally\, an electromagnetic dual-readout crystal section will open the door for measurements of electromagnetic showers with top-of-the-art energy resolution\, without harming the hadronic performance. The development plans and the expected performance will be described in the context of the IDEA proto-experiment proposed for future circular electroweak factories (FCC-ee and CEPC).

DESCRIPTION:Political polarization real and imagined: What do we get most wrong about our political opponents and does it matter?\nMonday\, March 13\, 2023 (3:30 PM – 5:00 PM)\n\nAnne E. Wilson\nProfessor of Psychology\nWilfrid Laurier University\n\nPolitical polarization characterized by increasing dislike\, even hatred\, of opponent party members has risen to a fever pitch in contemporary American society. However\, a surprising degree of common ground may be obscured by an illusory conviction that most opponents hold extreme and noxious views. I describe my lab’s research considering how the contemporary media and social media ecosystem selects for and amplifies the most extreme and threatening exemplars of opponents\, fueling partisans’ caricatured views of the other side and producing a false polarization that outstrips real divisions. We consider the downstream consequences of these misperceptions\, including animosity\, refusal to engage with opponents\, hesitation to voice ingroup dissent\, and acceptance of anti-democratic tactics. We also examine ways to mitigate these effects and disrupt the cycle of polarization. Beginning with the insight that extreme voices tend to be disproportionately active\, visible\, and shared on social media (contributing to overestimations of the prevalence of noxious views)\, we examine whether exposure to ingroup dissenters who challenge their co-partisans’ extreme views online can mitigate these effects. We find that exposure to a single extreme tweet substantially increased opponents’ prevalence overestimates (assumptions that the fringe view is widespread). Next\, we examined whether exposure to one or several moderate\, dissenting tweets attenuated misperceptions and mitigated the cycle of hostility they provoke.\n\nAnne E. Wilson is a professor in the Psychology Department at Wilfrid Laurier University. She is an expert on individual and collective identity over time\, with a recent focus on intergroup processes underlying political polarization. She received her PhD in social psychology from the University of Waterloo in 2000\, is a former Canada Research Chair in Social Psychology\, and a Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) Successful Societies program.

We will recognize the promotion of feminism and how it has evolved over time with discussion topics ranging from politics\, science\, art\, and culture. Through a candid conversation highlighting women’s voices across time\, we will highlight the impact of women in the industry and the contributions of women throughout the globe as well at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe experiences of minority women including but not limited to: Trans women\, trans femme women\, African American & Black women\, Latinx & Pacific Islander women\, Native American women\, East Asian women\, South Asian women\, Central Asian women\, and Middle Eastern women will be central to our workshop. Within our resident halls\, we encourage the awareness and active condemnation of misogynistic stigmas. Thus\, we will discuss not only women’s accomplishments but also the burdens they had to overcome\, and how we can all be part of a future where these burdens are removed for all individuals who identify as women.

We also have a result due to Weyl Rummer and Teller that gives a diagrammatic interpretation of the\mathfrac{sl}_2 invariants of (\C^2)^{2n}. We shall see these results and their corresponding generalizations to $U_q{\mathfrac{sl}_2)$ on one hand and the Hecke algebra on one hand. We will also make surprising connections to Link Invariants and see how our diagrammatic calculus gives us the Jones polynomial.

Phoenician art and cultural exchange in the eastern Mediterranean DESCRIPTION:Who is “Egyptian Herakles” and why did Greeks use this title when referring to the Phoenician god Melqart? Why did the ancient Greek historian Herodotos seek the origins of Heracles and Aphrodite on the Levantine coast? In this talk I juxtapose these narratives of divine origins against the backdrop or artistic developments in early Greece\, when art in the Aegean and elsewhere in the Mediterranean emulated Levantine and in particular Phoenician models. I will propose that Phoenician modes of representation (including Egyptian and Canaanite inflections) affected perceptions of cultural affiliations and origins. More generally I will address the issue of representation of the Phoenicians in Greek and biblical sources\, positively or negatively\, as agents of cultural change.

The height functions of models in the KPZ universality class are expected to converge to a limiting space-time fluctuation field\, which is called the KPZ fixed point. Moreover\, there is a random “directed metric” on the space-time plane that is expected to govern all the models in the KPZ universality class. This “directed metric” is called the directed landscape. Both the KPZ fixed point and the directed landscape are central objects in the study of the KPZ universality class\, while they were only characterized/constructed very recently [MQR21\, DOV18].\n\nIn this talk\, we will discuss some exact formulas of distributions in these two random fields. These exact formulas are in terms of an infinite sum of multiple contour integrals\, which are analogous to the Fredholm determinant expansions. We will show some surprising probabilistic properties of the KPZ fixed point and the directed landscape using the exact formulas. Some of the results are based on joint work with Yizao Wang and Ray Zhang.\n\nA recording of the talk can be found at https://youtu.be/I4zWZXU2ZTY UID:102660-21804922@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/102660 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics,seminar LOCATION:East Hall - EH 1866 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230131T130504 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230313T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230313T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker Series. Queering and Transing the Life Cycle in Jewish Ritual DESCRIPTION:The term “life cycle ritual” is used widely in Jewish Studies. In this talk I trace the idea of the life cycle and its development\, while considering the racialized\, gendered\, and sexual politics of the term\, and the way it borrows from biological sciences. Scholars have argued that the concept of the life cycle in Judaism originates with the rabbis in late antiquity. Eunuchs and androgynes\, who are found prolifically in rabbinic literature\, can trouble the assumption that the rabbis are invested in an orderly cycle of life. I weave together trans and queer theory with Jewish sources to examine legal attempts to channel messy embodiment into a life trajectory. \n\nMax Strassfeld is an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Arizona. They are the author of Trans Talmud: Androgynes and Eunuchs in Rabbinic Literature\, which was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Awards in 2022.\n\nCo-sponsors: Departments of Women’s and Gender Studies\; Classical Studies\; Center for Judaic Studies UID:102182-21803655@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/102182 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Classical Studies,Jewish Studies,Religion LOCATION:Tisch Hall - 1014 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230312T165916 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230313T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230313T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT Seminar: Regular de Rham Galois representations in the completed cohomology of modular curves DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Let p be a prime. I want to explain how to use the geometry of modular curves at infinite level and the Hodge–Tate period map to study regular de Rham p-adic Galois representations appearing in the p-adically completed cohomology of modular curves. We will show that these Galois representations up to twists come from modular forms\, which was previously known by Emerton by totally different methods. One useful observation is to view modular curves at infinite level as a \"correspondence\" between classical modular curves and the flag variety.

Join us for a workshop offered virtually via Zoom and continue as part of a community of care throughout the month of March. All participants will receive weekly connectedness communications and an invite to return for an in-person check-in at CEW+ to celebrate a month of wellness.\n\nWe will spend time thinking about what self-care means to each of us based on identity\, social location\, and privilege to recognize the intersecting dynamics that drive this concept. We will explore how mindful connections can help foster communities of care. Drawing on Black feminist thought this workshop centers the words of the late poet Audre Lorde who said\, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence\, it is self-preservation\, and that is an act of political warfare.” By identifying the ways that we are and are not caring for ourselves we can begin to cultivate new intentions and practices that model for our families\, students\, and colleagues why self-care is an integral part of a balanced and whole life for women.\n\nDuring the workshop\, participants will engage in small and large group discussions focused on ideas and questions from the brief readings. We will develop our own “Self-Care Bingo” boards as a culminating activity and participants will be invited to do their best to complete bingo on their board throughout the rest of the month. Participants will be invited back at the end of the month (or beginning of April) to celebrate and share their joys and challenges in community.\n\nThis workshop kicks off a month-long series of activities related to practicing self-care and cultivating communities of care in the process. Each week participants will receive an email with resources\, tips\, and tools for incorporating self-care into their daily lives. The email will help to continue the conversation begun in the workshop and help to strengthen connections between participants and CEW+.

During his first years of adolescence\, Muzamil grows up like other children\, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19\, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.\n\nFilm Facts & Background:\nSince few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956\, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

Survivors Saving Survivors: Photographing the Ukrainian Refugee Experience in Poland DESCRIPTION:In April and June 2022\, at the invitation of JCC Krakow\, Chuck Fishman traveled to Poland to document the JCC and the Jewish community’s commitment to helping Ukrainian refugees fleeing their war-torn country. What he witnessed and captured in a series of gripping photographs is *tikkun olam*\, a central concept in Judaism that denotes activities that repair and improve the world we live in. The exhibit shifts the lens away from the horror the refugees have endured to focus instead on human goodness and how it can overcome lingering evil.\n\nIn his 45-year career\, freelance photographer Chuck Fishman has focused on social and political issues with a strong humanistic concern. His work on Jewish life in Poland\, begun in 1975\, continues to the present day. Fishman’s work has been extensively published\, exhibited\, and collected worldwide\, and has earned him prestigious World Press Photo Foundation medals four times. His photographs have appeared on the covers of *Time*\, *Life*\, *Fortune*\, *Newsweek*\, *The London Sunday Times*\, *The Economist*\, and numerous others. Fishman’s work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery\, the United Nations POLIN: The Museum of the History of Polish Jews\, and the Stanford University and New York Public Libraries\, to name a few\, as well as private and corporate collections.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

The core of the project has been to study Aratus’ \"Phaenomena\,\" the most important poem on stars and constellations of the Graeco-Roman ancient world\, and its exegetical tradition. Read an annotated edition and English translation of \"Phaenomena\" and its commentaries (https://aratus.classics.lsa.umich.edu/).

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.

Deeply rooted in community\, she cultivates and reaffirms the human connections that ultimately sustain us. Her recent work explores the emergent themes of belonging as seen through the histories of student rebellions in Chicago public schools between 1968 and 1980.\n\nHer site-specific installation *With Care*\, created for the Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, presents the documentary photographs of influential Mexican-born artist\, teacher\, and friend Diana Solís in visual dialogue with Marroquin’s own creative work which includes ceramic sculptures and printmaking. Solís’s photography reflects over 25 years of transnational Chicana and lesbian organizing primarily in Chicago and Mexico City between 1975 and 1990. \n\nAbout the Artist\nNicole Marroquin is an interdisciplinary artist\, researcher\, and teacher educator whose work explores spatial justice and Latinx history.

The word sends shivers up the spine of even the most experienced scholars. Assessment is one of the most challenging\, fraught\, and effective endeavors that we deal with as public scholars\, community engagement professionals\, and change agents. But does assessment have to be so stressful? So inauthentic? Devoid of values? The quick answer: no!\nAssessment can be so much more than ticking boxes\, taking surveys\, and statistics. It can be dynamic\, engaging\, authentic\, and reaffirming. In this workshop\, we will help participants to reimagine their relationship with assessment and develop ways of centering an equity-based\, inclusive\, democratic assessment process in their work. These workshops will guide participants through a series of activities to reimagine their assessment work using the framework of democratically-engaged assessment (DEA) as a lens. Following a conceptual introduction and initial engagement with the framework\, participants will examine their assessment practices and develop an action plan for their own work in a specific arena. Reflective exercises and collaborative activities will help participants surface their assumptions about the role of values in assessment\, the values they enact through their assessment\, tension points that arise across phases of assessment\, and opportunities to negotiate tensions through the lens of DEA. In keeping with the tenets of the framework\, participants will not only enhance their own work\, but also will contribute to the ongoing and co-creative development of the DEA framework itself.\n\nPart One: Reimagining Assessment for Public Scholarship\nNOTE: This session has a separate registration\, please register for Part 1 here.\nIntention: This workshop will cover the basics of assessment\, bust some myths\, introduce some framings and tools\, and explore examples of the spectrum of assessment.\n\nPart Two: From Theory to Practice – Build a plan and make it yours\nAudience: This workshop is an ideal space for those who have a project\, an idea\, or an inkling of an idea that they want to develop into reality and plan how to assess it.\n\nParticipants may choose to attend one or both sessions\, depending on their interests and needs.\nBios:\nJulia Metzker serves as director of the Washington Center for Improving Undergraduate Education at the Evergreen State College.

The word sends shivers up the spine of even the most experienced scholars. Assessment is one of the most challenging\, fraught\, and effective endeavors that we deal with as public scholars\, community engagement professionals\, and change agents. But does assessment have to be so stressful? So inauthentic? Devoid of values? The quick answer: no!\n\nAssessment can be so much more than ticking boxes\, taking surveys\, and statistics. It can be dynamic\, engaging\, authentic\, and reaffirming. In this workshop\, we will help participants to reimagine their relationship with assessment and develop ways of centering an equity-based\, inclusive\, democratic assessment process in their work. These workshops will guide participants through a series of activities to reimagine their assessment work using the framework of democratically-engaged assessment (DEA) as a lens. Following a conceptual introduction and initial engagement with the framework\, participants will examine their assessment practices and develop an action plan for their own work in a specific arena. Reflective exercises and collaborative activities will help participants surface their assumptions about the role of values in assessment\, the values they enact through their assessment\, tension points that arise across phases of assessment\, and opportunities to negotiate tensions through the lens of DEA. In keeping with the tenets of the framework\, participants will not only enhance their own work\, but also will contribute to the ongoing and co-creative development of the DEA framework itself.\nPart One: Reimagining Assessment for Public Scholarship\nNOTE: This session has a separate registration\, please register for Part 1 here.Intention: This workshop will cover the basics of assessment\, bust some myths\, introduce some framings and tools\, and explore examples of the spectrum of assessment.\nPart Two: From Theory to Practice - Build a plan and make it yoursAudience: This workshop is an ideal space for those who have a project\, an idea\, or an inkling of an idea that they want to develop into reality and plan how to assess it.Participants may choose to attend one or both sessions\, depending on their interests and needs.Facilitators\nJulia Metzker serves as director of the Washington Center for Improving Undergraduate Education at Evergreen State CollegeSarah Stanlick is an assistant professor in the Department of Integrative and Global Studies and the director of the Great Problems Seminar at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).\nThis session is sponsored by Rackham’s Mellon Public Engagement and the Humanities program\, and is open to all students on campus interested in the topic.\n UID:104693-21809890@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/104693 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Pond - 1st Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230314T062039 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230314T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230314T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Diversity 101 DESCRIPTION:In order to have meaningful\, productive conversations about diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, we must start with a common language.

The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the other portions. The final result/score/rating will thus be based on the student’s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary.Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.Where can I view my results?Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.Important information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.* If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* The Summer Language Institute (June & July) offers intensive Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 &102\, combined)\, Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined)\, and Arabic 401 & 402.About the UM Arabic programUM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand either the Egyptian dialect or the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to learning to read and write and understand formal Arabic (fuSHa). Students starting to learn Arabic\, if they have no background in Arabic\, can choose to take either dialect or can switch their dialect focus from one semester to the next. The dialect focus of each class section is indicated in the schedule of classes.\nIf you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

The resulting randomness affects biological outcomes at multiple scales\, from the probability that a single protein molecule successfully finds its folded state to the evolutionary trajectory of a population of cells. Understanding how the distribution of these outcomes changes over time is often difficult\, and achieving control over this distribution via external interventions is an even more complex challenge. Intriguingly\, this problem has close parallels in a very different domain: manipulating quantum states for applications like quantum computing and cold atom transport. In this talk we show how one can translate quantum control into the classical realm of biology\, giving us a novel tool for steering biological processes. We illustrate this idea through two examples: the first is controlling the distribution of genetic variants in an evolving cellular population. This is motivated by recent efforts to combat antibiotic resistance via therapies that guide the evolution of pathogens toward maximized drug sensitivity. The second example involves controlling the distribution of protein folding states using so-called molecular chaperones: protein enzymes that facilitate the unfolding or disaggregating of misfolded proteins. The theoretical framework behind these two examples is quite general\, and can in principle be used in many other biophysical problems. Finally\, we discuss ongoing work to explore the thermodynamic costs associated with control.

Elaboration of halogenated heteroaromatic cores can be achieved through cross-coupling reactions\, which are among the most widely used methods in organic synthesis. However\, when two or more halides are present on the substrate\, controlling site selectivity becomes critical. In fact\, cross-couplings often follow a predictable selectivity pattern. For many dihalogenated heteroarenes\, methods do not exist to reliably invert the conventional pattern to achieve cross-coupling at the \\"less reactive\\" C—X bond. Herein we describe new catalyst-controlled strategies to accomplish this goal\, together with mechanistic studies to explain the origin of the selectivity inversion. \n \n\nSharon Neufeldt (Montana State University) UID:95717-21790782@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/95717 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230223T084951 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230314T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230314T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:2023 Depression on College Campuses Conference DESCRIPTION:Join us for a two-day\, in-person conference dedicated to exploring the benefits and drawbacks of the hybrid landscape and its impact on student mental health in higher education.\n\nThis annual event brings together hundreds of clinicians\, researchers\, health education specialists\, student support staff and students for a two-day event focused on mental health work.

This seminar will be in-person and livestreaming on Zoom.\n\nAbstract:\nEcological communities have been shifting rapidly under recent climate change with alarming consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem services\, yet the generality and causality of such shifts have to be demonstrated. We focus on grasslands in the California Floristic Province\, a global biodiversity hotspot spanning 300\,000 km2\, where considerable climate warming and drying have occurred. We compiled long-term grassland community composition data from 12 observational sites and a warming experiment\, estimated hundreds of species’ climate niches from millions of occurrence records\, and analyzed changes in community composition and species gain and loss in reference to their climate distributions. We show that these grassland communities experienced significant shifts toward species tolerant of warmer and drier conditions\, at a pace similar to climate warming and drying. The consistent observational and experimental evidence establish grassland community shift as a predictable fingerprint of climate change.

Yet\, public health recommendations for preventing the spread—staying at home and social distancing—only add another layer to the health disparities\, socioeconomic disadvantages\, and policy barriers experienced by communities of color. Guided by a resilience-based approach\, this project employs a mixed methods design to gauge the effects of COVID-19 on Latinos whilst exploring the cultural and social influences that serve as protective factors in the face of psychological and structural barriers. As a first step\, quantitative data was gathered through an online survey of 1595 Latinos from the United States and Puerto Rico. Initial analyses of the sample—which showcased vaccine hesitancy\, collectivist ideals\, and a general fear of the virus—were used to design a semi-structured interview protocol. The resulting qualitative data comes from one-on-one interviews with 60 Latinos from the United States. Integrated results regarding the effects of COVID\, steps taken to combat COVID\, concerns\, cultural values\, and hopes for the future illustrate the why/how often missing from quantitative samples and show that despite the many difficulties brought about by COVID-19 there is strength in the values and customs of Latino culture. \n\nCARLOS VIVALDO\nDoctoral Candidate\, Biopsychology\nTitle: Joint Coding of Sound and Speed by Auditory Cortical Neuronal Ensembles \nThe ability to process and act upon incoming sounds during locomotion is critical for survival. Intriguingly\, sound responses of auditory cortical neurons are on average weaker during locomotion as compared to immobility and these results have been suggested to reflect a computational resource allocation shift from auditory to visual processing. However\, the evolutionary benefit of this hypothesis remains unclear. In particular\, whether weaker sound-evoked responses during locomotion indeed reflect a reduced involvement of the auditory cortex\, or whether they result from an alternative neural computation in this state remains unresolved. To address this question\, we first used neural inactivation in behaving mice and found that the auditory cortex plays a critical role in sound-guided behavior during locomotion. To investigate the nature of this processing\, we used two-photon calcium imaging of local excitatory auditory cortical neural populations in awake mice. We found that underlying a net inhibitory effect of locomotion on sound-evoked response magnitude\, spatially intermingled neuronal subpopulations were differentially influenced by locomotion. Further\, the net inhibitory effect of locomotion on sound-evoked responses was strongly shaped by elevated ongoing activity. Importantly\, rather than reflecting enhanced “noise”\, this ongoing activity reliably encoded the animal’s locomotion speed. Prediction analyses revealed that sound\, locomotive state and their integration are strongly encoded by auditory cortical ensemble activity. Finally\, we found consistent patterns of locomotion-sound integration in electrophysiologically recorded activity in freely moving rats. Together\, our data suggest that auditory cortical ensembles are not simply suppressed by locomotion but rather encode it alongside sound information to support sound perception during locomotion.

While scholars have speculated about the source and universality of the Neg-First principle based on such evidence\, these hypotheses have not been widely tested or corroborated using experimental methods. In this talk\, I will report two artificial language learning experiments which investigate the effect of language experience on the behavioral bias to produce preverbal negation among speakers of English and Japanese\, as well as the hypothesis that the Neg-First principle is driven by factors of audience design in communication. While English speakers show a preference to produce preverbal negation even in the absence of communication\, Japanese speakers do not\, challenging the idea of a universal preference for preverbal negation in acquisition as a plausible candidate for shaping linguistic typology. Though one possibility is that the cross-linguistic prevalence of preverbal negation results from historical forces rather than pressures on learning and use\, more nuanced explanations which maintain the role of biases which are present independent of language experience remain to be explored.

The previous literature\, however\, has been unable to fully document this path over time\, or fully assess the role of explanatory factors such as changes in firm organization and technology. We provide fresh evidence that allows us to better document the inverted U as well as its causes. In the first part of the paper\, we use the Department of Labor’s Hand and Machine Labor Study to show that wage inequality within manufacturing establishments rose over the nineteenth century. In the second part\, we use information from Massachusetts on construct a new time series showing that wage inequality among production workers declined from the 1890s to the late 1930s. For both periods technology played a role – the shift to steam-powered factories over the nineteenth century raised wage inequality\, whereas electrification after 1900 reduced it.

Key questions about the dynamics of these excitations in the presence of both many-body physics and topology are currently driving numerous major research efforts in quantum materials. One such material is (TaSe_4)_2I - a Weyl semimetal that undergoes charge density wave (CDW) ordering below 260 K. I will discuss two of our recent experiments using nonlinear light-matter interaction in the terahertz (THz) range to directly probe the dynamics of the collective excitations of (TaSe_4)_2I. I will first show how upon transient photoexcitation at low temperatures (TaSe_4)_2I strikingly emits coherent\, narrow-band THz radiation. The frequency\, polarization and temperature dependence of the emitted radiation imply the existence of a phason that acquires mass by coupling to long-range Coulomb interaction\, giving a direct measurement of the Anderson-Higgs mechanism. Second\, I will show our recent results using THz pump\, IR Kerr probe spectroscopy on (TaSe_4)_2I to highlight how THz-driven phonons can induce a sizeable dynamic optical Kerr rotation in this otherwise time-reversal invariant system. I will briefly discuss both these results in the context of the predicted axion electrodynamics in (TaSe_4)_2I.

This “archeological impulse” comes on the wave of queer activism and the rise of LGBTQ+ visibility politics following the collapse of state socialism in the 1990s\, while frequently challenging western perceptions of the region within the dominant Orientalizing and Cold War imaginaries. Drawing on this growing body of scholarship and activism\, my presentation examines the transformation of štajga\, or the cruising grounds—from a previously invisible site of sexual modernity in late Yugoslav socialism into a counter-archive of queer history in the postsocialist present. In particular\, I focus on Uroš Filipović’s Staklenac (Glass Arcade\, 2002)\, a seminal work of queer autofiction in Serbia\, alongside the more recent work of the queerANarchive collective\, founded in 2010 in Split as an attempt to document\, archive\, and render discursive the geographies and practices of queer culture in the context of postsocialist Croatia. I argue that štajga serves not only as an historical alternative to the contemporary politics of queer visibility and respectability\, but also as a site that registers the shifting relations between non-normative sexuality\, queer poetics\, and capitalist form. \nThis hybrid event is presented by the Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative (LGQRI) at IRWG with co-sponsorship from the Departments of Comparative Literature\, and Slavic Languages and Literatures.\nRegister to attend in person or on Zoom. **This talk will be recorded.

This “archeological impulse” comes on the wave of queer activism and the rise of LGBTQ+ visibility politics following the collapse of state socialism in the 1990s\, while frequently challenging western perceptions of the region within the dominant Orientalizing and Cold War imaginaries. Drawing on this growing body of scholarship and activism\, my presentation examines the transformation of štajga\, or the cruising grounds—from a previously invisible site of sexual modernity in late Yugoslav socialism into a counter-archive of queer history in the postsocialist present. In particular\, I focus on Uroš Filipović’s Staklenac (Glass Arcade\, 2002)\, a seminal work of queer autofiction in Serbia\, alongside the more recent work of the queerANarchive collective\, founded in 2010 in Split as an attempt to document\, archive\, and render discursive the geographies and practices of queer culture in the context of postsocialist Croatia. I argue that štajga serves not only as an historical alternative to the contemporary politics of queer visibility and respectability\, but also as a site that registers the shifting relations between non-normative sexuality\, queer poetics\, and capitalist form. \n\nThis hybrid event is presented by the Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative (LGQRI) at IRWG with co-sponsorship from the Departments of Comparative Literature\, and Slavic Languages and Literatures.\n\nRegister to attend in person or on Zoom: https://myumi.ch/Mr7ne\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nVladislav Beronja is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Slavic and Eurasian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. He is a co-editor of Post-Yugoslav Constellations: Archive\, Memory\, and Trauma in Contemporary Bosnian\, Croatian\, and Serbian Literature and Culture (de Gruyter\, 2016)\, and has published widely in the field of contemporary Balkan literature and popular culture.

Their dynamic and warm live performances mix the most touching old Irish songs with hard-hitting reels and jigs\, and the band members' interest in and sheer enjoyment of each other musically is apparent even to audience members new to the Irish tradition. For the Irish music enthusiast\, Altan has a treasure trove of brilliant moves to offer: the mix of sounds from Donegal with outside influences\, the sheer virtuosity of the players\, the beauty\, delicate singing\, and down-to-earth charm of singer and fiddler Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh. Anywhere they go\, a concert by Altan is the Irish music event of the year\, and you can also pick up a copy of the group’s new book\, “The Tunes.” UID:100054-21799037@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/100054 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230314T182026 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230314T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230314T201500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Don't Swipe: An Immersive Exploration in Making an Imprint DESCRIPTION:College is a time when many of us think about the ways we might want to make an imprint on the world.

DESCRIPTION:For more info and to apply: https://www.cew.umich.edu/advocacy-initiatives/twink-frey-visiting-social-activist-program\n\nEach year the Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist (TFVSA) Program brings to CEW+ a social justice activist whose work affects women and recognizes gender equity issues. One goal of the program is to build the capacity and effectiveness of social activists by giving the TFVSA time\, space\, and support to work on a project that would not be possible under the activist’s usual working circumstances.\n\nThe TFVSA program gives the selected TFVSA time for reflection\, research\, planning\, and writing related to their area of activism. Each TFVSA is required to work on a project that will advance their future work and potentially benefit other activists.\n\nIf selected\, the applicant is invited to reside near campus for up to one month or make intermittent visits to Ann Arbor and work remotely. The 2024 residency will take place during the winter semester with a presentation of their project the following fall semester at the CEW+ Annual Advocacy Symposium. The activist receives a $10\,000 stipend to cover their expenses while in Ann Arbor. Travel expenses to and from Ann Arbor are separately reimbursed by the endowment fund.\n\nELIGIBILITY\n\nThe TFVSA program supports activists whose work addresses gender equity issues that affect the lives of women and/or girls. The program defines social justice and equity programs broadly to include activism in such areas as housing\, employment\, income support\, food security\, education\, violence\, child care\, health care\, and employer benefits like paid sick leave and retirement income.

During his first years of adolescence\, Muzamil grows up like other children\, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19\, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.\n\nFilm Facts & Background:\nSince few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956\, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

Survivors Saving Survivors: Photographing the Ukrainian Refugee Experience in Poland DESCRIPTION:In April and June 2022\, at the invitation of JCC Krakow\, Chuck Fishman traveled to Poland to document the JCC and the Jewish community’s commitment to helping Ukrainian refugees fleeing their war-torn country. What he witnessed and captured in a series of gripping photographs is *tikkun olam*\, a central concept in Judaism that denotes activities that repair and improve the world we live in. The exhibit shifts the lens away from the horror the refugees have endured to focus instead on human goodness and how it can overcome lingering evil.\n\nIn his 45-year career\, freelance photographer Chuck Fishman has focused on social and political issues with a strong humanistic concern. His work on Jewish life in Poland\, begun in 1975\, continues to the present day. Fishman’s work has been extensively published\, exhibited\, and collected worldwide\, and has earned him prestigious World Press Photo Foundation medals four times. His photographs have appeared on the covers of *Time*\, *Life*\, *Fortune*\, *Newsweek*\, *The London Sunday Times*\, *The Economist*\, and numerous others. Fishman’s work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery\, the United Nations POLIN: The Museum of the History of Polish Jews\, and the Stanford University and New York Public Libraries\, to name a few\, as well as private and corporate collections.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

The core of the project has been to study Aratus’ \"Phaenomena\,\" the most important poem on stars and constellations of the Graeco-Roman ancient world\, and its exegetical tradition.

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.

Deeply rooted in community\, she cultivates and reaffirms the human connections that ultimately sustain us. Her recent work explores the emergent themes of belonging as seen through the histories of student rebellions in Chicago public schools between 1968 and 1980.\n\nHer site-specific installation *With Care*\, created for the Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, presents the documentary photographs of influential Mexican-born artist\, teacher\, and friend Diana Solís in visual dialogue with Marroquin’s own creative work which includes ceramic sculptures and printmaking.

Body positivity is more visible than ever\, but so is fatphobia. With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative\, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?\n\nSpectrum Center Event Accessibility Statement:\nThe Spectrum Center is dedicated to working towards offering equitable access to all of the events we organize.

In the book\, the authors reflect on their personal and collective struggles against heteropatriarchal and anti-Kurdish repression in Turkey\, as well as the radical feminist principles and practices through which they transformed the political structures and state offices in which they operated. Demonstrating Kurdish women's ceaseless political determination and refusal to be silenced - even when behind bars - the book ultimately hopes to inspire women living under even the most unjust conditions to engage in collective resistance.\n\nThe English translation of The Purple Color of Kurdish Politics\, published in November 2022\, was collectively undertaken by a group of twenty-six volunteer translators. So very much like the original text\, the translation itself has been a product of feminist solidarity. In this panel\, five members of the translation team get together to discuss the book and its English translation as part of the larger Kurdish women's movement.\n\nRegister to receive the Zoom link: https://myumi.ch/8e4dg\n*This event takes place at 12:00 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST)* UID:104615-21809730@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/104615 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,advocacy,Book Discussion,book event,Books,Discussion,feminism,turkey LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230215T140653 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230315T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230315T130000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Latinx Research Week DESCRIPTION:LRW is a conference that celebrates the scholarship of Latinx students\, researchers\, and faculty at U-M\, and uplifts research relevant to Latinx communities.

According to Frenzel (2009\; 2014)\, both positive and negative emotions that a teacher exhibits toward teaching are influenced by the teacher's different experiences in the classroom and influence the teacher's well-being. The present study examines whether teaching emotions\, such as enjoyment\, anger\, and anxiety\, plays a role in explaining the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and well-being. A sample of 2698 Chilean teachers between 20 and 80 years of age (M = 41.4\, SD = 11.1\; primarily women\, 73.5%) was used. A mediation analysis was performed using a multiple regression model with a Bootstrap method. The results show that the emotions of enjoyment\, anger\, and anxiety toward teaching mediate the relationship between Self-Efficacy and teachers' well-being. Thus\, the higher the self-efficacy\, the greater the enjoyment\, which is associated with higher levels of well-being.\nOn the other hand\, the higher the self-efficacy\, the lower the anger and anxiety\, which are associated with higher levels of well-being. The present study argues that emotions are an essential resource that enhances or decreases teachers' well-being associated with their self-efficacy. \n\nSARAÍ BLANCO MARTINEZ\nDoctoral Candidate\, Education & Psychology/ CPEP\; Social Work/MSW\nTitle: Sharing the Burden: Latinx Immigrant Parents and Teens' Socio-political Discussions and their Impact on Youth Mental Health\n\nBackground: \nThere is limited research on parent-child discussions about sociopolitical issues in the U.S. and how they take place. There is less known about the role of sociopolitical conversations as a protective factor benefitting immigrant youth and families. We draw on the Ecological Expansion of the Adverse Childhood Experiences framework to better understand how immigrant-origin youth are making sense of restrictive immigration policies coupled with cultural and sociopolitical messaging received from parents. \nMethods:\nParticipants engaged in one-hour virtual interviews between 2020 and 2021. We conducted ten interviews with undocumented Latinx parents\, and 10 interviews with their adolescents aged 13-17. \nResults:\nThree main themes emerged from parent interviews: 1) sociopolitical socialization and youth agency\; 2) documentation status socialization\; and 3) emotional and mental health well-being. Findings show that parents use storytelling to share messages about race\, culture\, and immigration\, and provide counternarratives to the toxic sociopolitical environment. Four themes emerged from youth interviews: 1) sociopolitical awareness and action\; 2) youth taking on a protective role\; 3) learning about risks\, injustices and privileges\; and 4) mental health. Youth shared a desire for sociopolitical education\, and reported a range of coping mechanisms against anti-immigrant rhetoric.\nConclusion & Implication:\nOur findings provide a greater understanding of communication practices within Latinx mixed-status immigrant families\, by drawing on both parent and youth reports. These findings can inform practitioners and researchers alike of the amplified systemic barriers felt by immigrant families during the pandemic\, and the urgency of supporting them as they fight for their rights and dignity.\n\nOLUWASEUN OYINDAMOLA OGUNLEYE\nMaster's Student\, Joint program in Education and Psychology \nAMANDA ROSEMARY WEBSTER\nSOPHIA GREWAL\nTitle: Phenotypic Racial Identification in Socialization of Multiracial individuals\nThere is a phenomenon of multiracial individuals expressing a greater association with one of their ethnic-racial identities over another. These associations within Multiracial individuals are the resultant of perceptions of phenotype\, which is largely framed by white supremacy (Thekkedam\, 2013). This research endeavor aims to contribute to understandings of the effect of dissociation of identity on strong psychosocial implications by challenging current literature and research by decentering whiteness through framing multiracial identity formation as a resultant of oppression in white supremacy (Miville et al.\, 2005). Beyond decentering whiteness in our research this is a remediary effort to reduce associations between racial category and phenotype within participants while investigating the role of the proximity to whiteness in the socialization of the participants and its effects on their identity formation. (Khanna\, 2016). The methodology involves accessing qualitative interview data with a sample size of (n=5). Participants include individuals that either identify as multiracial and express identification with one aspect of their race or ethnicity over another. The diverse set of participants ranging from Asian American\, Hispanic - Black\, African American - White mothers\, to a mother who identifies as Mulatta and the smaller scale of the research compares across racial compositions and age of the participants by examining the sociological underpinnings provides this research with a novel positionality. Rapid and Rigorous Qualitative Data Analysis (RADaR) technique is the intended modality for analysis (Watkins\, 2017)\n\nBERNARDETTE PINETTA\nDoctoral Candidate\, Joint Program in Education and Psychology \nTitle: “Mis Amores”: Affirming Ethnic-Racial Socialization Practices in School Introduction\nLatinx youth are the second largest ethnic/racial youth group in the U.S. and comprise more than one quarter of our nation’s current public K-12 students (Patten\, 2016\; U.S. Census Bureau\, 2019). However\, Latinx students (and other youth of color) are also increasingly the subject of racial harassment from peers and teachers (Rogers et al.\, 2017). Yet\, schools can also be sites of affirming explicit and implicit messages about ethnicity and race\, thereby affording opportunities for Latinx youth to develop their ethnic-racial identities\, multicultural competencies\, and critical consciousness to the extent that they are able to learn about their own groups\, the experiences of others\, and racial inequality and injustice\, respectively. Understanding Latinx youths’ racialized experiences at school can thus provide crucial insights to educators and researchers seeking to support the healthy development of Latinx youth. In this qualitative case study\, we describe the instructional practices and interpersonal interactions of Ms. Perez\, an esteemed educator known for her exemplary instructional practices that uplift youths’ civic capacities while attending to their social and emotional learning needs. Using thematic analysis\, we developed three themes of ethnic-racial content integration: (a) cultural content\, (b) racialized experiences\, and (c) youth empowerment. Our findings come at a pivotal moment\, providing specific strategies and practices to inform future research and theorizing on best practices to support Latinx youths’ development as it relates to their identity and critical consciousness.

Her research interests are in methodology of data collection for longitudinal studies\, mixed mode data collection\, questionnaire design\, respondent consent to data linkage\, and new ways of using mobile devices for survey data collection.\n\nAbstract\nData linkage usually requires informed consent of respondents\, whether for legal or ethical reasons. A common problem is that when consent questions are asked in self-completion surveys\, respondents are much less likely to consent than when they are asked for consent in interviewer administered surveys. In the existing literature\, predictors of consent are mostly inconsistent\, between studies\, but also between different consents asked within one study. In addition\, experiments with the wording of consent questions have often had no or inconsistent effects. Why is this? And what can be done to increase informed consent to data linkage? This presentation provides an overview of what we have learnt from qualitative in-depth interviews and a series of experiments implemented in two UK probability household panels (the Understanding Society Innovation Panel and COVID-19 study) and in the UK PopulusLive online access panel. We address the following questions. (1) How do respondents decide whether to consent to data linkage? (2) Why are respondents less likely to consent in web than CAPI surveys? (3) How best to ask for multiple consents within a survey? (4) Which wording and formats affect informed consent and why? We end the overview with a summary of the practical implications for how best to ask for consent to data linkage.\n\nMichigan Program in Survey and Data Science (MPSDS)\nThe University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021\, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data\, but also including social media posts\, sensor data\, and administrative records\, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research\, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.\n\nSummer Institute in Survey Research Techniques (SISRT)\nThe mission of the Summer Institute is to provide rigorous and high quality graduate training in all phases of survey research. The program teaches state-of-the-art practice and theory in the design\, implementation\, and analysis of surveys. The Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques has presented courses on the sample survey since the summer of 1948\, and has offered such courses every summer since. Graduate-level courses through the Program in Survey and Data Science are offered from June 5 through July 28 and available to enroll in as a Summer Scholar.\n\nThe Summer Institute uses the sample survey as the basic instrument for the scientific measurement of human activity. It presents sample survey methods in courses designed to meet the educational needs of those specializing in social and behavioral research such as professionals in business\, public health\, natural resources\, law\, medicine\, nursing\, social work\, and many other domains of study.

The belief\, widespread among the country’s population and essentially unquestioned by scholars in the fields of history\, political science and sociology\, is in fact a myth. Jejueo\, the traditional variety of speech spoken for centuries in the province of Jeju\, is by all measures a separate language– not a ‘dialect’ of Korean\, as commonly claimed.\n\nThe object of suppression since the mid 1950s\, Jejueo is now on the verge of extinction – a cultural scandal in a country known for the value it places on its history and traditions. My presentation will focus on three questions:\n\nWhat type of evidence supports the claim of languagehood for Jejueo?\n\nWhy has the existence of this language been ignored by the national government?\n\nHow might these realities be addressed by the field of Korean Studies?\n\nWilliam O’Grady is a professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and a Fellow of the Linguistic Society of America. He is well known for his work on Korean and Jejueo\, as well as his commitment to the study of syntax\, language acquisition\, language revitalization\, and endangered languages.\n\nHis books include *The Handbook of Korean Vocabulary* (with M. Choo)\, *The Sounds of Korean* (with M. Choo)\, and *Jejueo: The Language of Korea’s Jeju Island* (with C. Yang & S. Yang)\, *How Children Learn Language*\, and *Syntactic Carpentry*. He is the co-editor (with Brian MacWhinney) of *The Handbook of Language Emergence* and the co-author (with John Archibald) of a widely used textbook\, *Contemporary Linguistic Analysis*\, now in its ninth edition.

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.

They are relevant across a range of phenomena from the dynamics of inflation to the formation of structure. In many cases\, these it is a good approximation to coarse grain these fluctuations (in the sense of a Renormalization Group flow)\, and they follow a Gaussian distribution as a consequence of the Central Limit Theorem. Yet\, some classes of observables are dominated by rare fluctuations and are sensitive to the details of the underlying microphysics. In this talk\, I will introduce the Large Deviation Principle\, and will explain how it can be used to diagnose when effective approaches fail and one must instead to appeal to the microscopic description. I will illustrate this phenomenon in the context of determining the phase transition to eternal inflation\, the distribution of scalar field fluctuations in de Sitter\, and the production of primordial black holes.

Stanley conjectured an order rising operator U on \mathbb{C}W_n and showed that if U^{r-2k} is invertible then W_n is strongly Sperner. In the first work\, Gaetz and Gao constructed an order lowering operator D which led to an sl_2 representation of \mathbb{C}W_n and used representation theory of sl_2 to prove invertibility. In the second work\, Speyer et al. proved a determinantal formula of U^{r-2k} conjectured by Stanley\, through showing that the divergence operator acts on Schubert Polynomials as the operator U and this implies invertibility of U^{r-2k}.

It led to calculation of homotopy groups of spheres\, calculation of cobordism rings\, characteristic classes\, and many other celebrated applications of homotopy theory to geometry. However\, equivariant Steenrod operations are not known beyond the group of order 2. In this talk\, I will demonstrate a new geometric construction of the classical Steenrod operations and generalize it to construct G-equivariant Steenrod operations for any finite group G.

Motivating examples include nonlinear objectives\, state-dependent costs\, and regularized optimal transport with general $f$-divergence. Under the bi-causal constraint\, we introduce equilibrium transport and characterize it with maximum theorem and extended dynamic programming principle. We apply our framework to study the state dependence of two job markets including top-ranking executives and academia. The empirical analysis shows that a job market with a stronger state dependence is less efficient. The University of California (UC) postdoc job market has the strongest state dependence even than that of top executives\, while there is no evidence of state dependence on the UC faculty job market. This is a joint work with Erhan Bayraktar.

Out of each of these there arose charisma cults devoted to the veneration of individuals who most embodied the ideals of their movements. This presentation will give a brief history of the origins of these movements with special attention given to the charisma cults they engendered and the sometimes contested spaces they occupy in the Buddhist landscape of contemporary Burma.\n\nA reception will follow.

The band has created a natural history in song—taking us into gardens\, almond groves\, orchard rows\, down to the ocean floor and under stars. \n\nDarlingside has long been praised for their harmonies and intelligent songwriting\, described by NPR as “exquisitely-arranged\, literary-minded\, baroque folk-pop\,” and their dynamic presence (crowded tightly together onstage) have made them a live-performance favorite. But this album showcases their broader storytelling abilities: nature is a looking glass\, the songs suggest\, with tracks like Ocean Bed\, Green + Evergreen\, Mountain + Sea\, and Crystal Caving making metaphors of their titles. An experience of nature is an experience of self\; an experience of self is one of natural change cut and complemented by stasis. \n\nThe band started studio recording “Fish Pond Fish” in late 2019\, when they moved into Tarquin Studios—the residential studio of Grammy Award-winning producer Peter Katis (Interpol\, The National). Living and working together brought them to their very early years under one roof in Hadley\, Massachusetts\, which had seeded the origins of their intimate collaboration. At Katis’s suggestion\, many components of the initial demos were preserved as layers in the produced tracks to retain the spirit of the initial recordings\, resulting in a collection of songs that is simultaneously the most bedroom-tracked and production-heavy full-length album that the band has yet released.

Art of any medium is welcome. We are opening up the show to be for survivors and allies\, by survivors and allies\; as such\, we encourage you to express your healing process as you authentically experience it. \n\nThe themes of our show are gender\, sexism\, sexual violence\, empowerment\, and healing. The topic of sexual violence can include sexual assault\, intimate partner violence\, sexual and gender-based harassment\, and stalking. \n\nOur goal with this event is to create and engage in a supportive community space for survivors where UM student allies and survivors will build empathy and an understanding of sexual violence and healing through the unique creative expression of survivor experiences and perspectives. Artistic expression provides a medium to bring up and process emotions and experiences in a way that can be difficult to discuss otherwise. Now more than ever we hope to provide a platform and resource that brings people together in healing.\n\nPlease fill out this form with your submission by March 15th: tinyurl.com/reVMarch2023 \n\nIf your work is accepted it will be displayed at the Rackham Graduate School in the Assembly Hall on Sunday\, March 26th\, 4-6 p.m.\n\nIf you have any questions\, please email art.revolution-requests@umich.edu. We look forward to seeing your art!
