It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War DESCRIPTION:*Presented in association with UMS*.\n\nIn Guardian Passage\, artists Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova employ the tools and imagery of traditional Ukrainian art forms to face down the existential threat brought about by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Bondarenko’s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko’s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war\; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats\, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova’s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage\, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline\, red thread connects these projects\, weaving through clay and fabric\, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on “Arts and Resistance.”\n\nIrina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist\, a native of Ukraine\, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan. Irina has been with the University of Michigan Biostatistics Department for more than 20 years. and published over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Along with her career at the School of Public Health\, for the last 10 years Irina has been pursuing her interest in ceramics. Her work was featured in over a dozen national shows\, the 24th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition\, and the “Strictly Functional Pottery National Show” in 2021 and 2022\, and\, most recently\, the Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum.\n\nArtist website: https://www.ibondceramics.com/\n\nKatya Lisova is an artist\, designer\, and art historian. Born in Kyiv\, she is a graduate of the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk (2009) and the National Academy of Cultural and Artistic Leaders (2018). Since 2019 she has been teaching at the Kyiv State Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk. Her work is in the field of artistic textiles and digital graphics. She is also the art director of the “Ukrainian Unofficial” research project\, which compiles archives of Ukrainian unofficial art of the second half of the twentieth century.\n\nArtist website: https://www.flickr.com/photos/196914550@N02/albums\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

The title of the 2-day conference\, part of the Nam Center’s Perspectives on Contemporary Korea conference series\, references the visceral\, emotional experiences embedded in and conjured by Korean music performance across many eras\, genres\, and locations. In the 21st century\, Korean music defies geopolitical boundaries and the confines of genre as artists draw on their own experiences and communities to express the lived realities of the contemporary Korean experience. The music we explore in this symposium is inclusive of long-standing traditions and new creations on the Korean peninsula\, music performance in the Diaspora\, and collaborations drawing and expanding upon Korean musical aesthetics. The participants in this two-day event will explore the many notions of Korean music on and beyond the Korean peninsula\, through space and time\, and reimagined via multiple encounters and experiences.\n\nThis event will be a combination of traditional paper presentation\, roundtables\, and workshops. There will also be at least two performances during the two-day event. The event will be free & open to the public. Attendance will be available both in-person and virtual.\n\nThis event is a program feature of the U-M Fall 2023 Festival of Asian Music. https://smtd.umich.edu/asian-music-festival/ UID:113566-21831163@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/113566 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,Korea,Music,Performance LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231016T095224 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231109T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231109T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:(DE) CONSTRUCTED EXHIBITION BY NOUR BALLOUT DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours: Mon-Friday\, 9 am- 5pm\, or by appointment: serrag@med.umich.edu\n\nNour Ballout (b. 1993\, Beirut) is a Detroit & Chicago based interdisciplinary artist and curator. They received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Wayne State University and an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). Nour Ballout’s practice grapples with the ways looking can manifest as both resistance and violence while negotiating the tensions among visibility\, documentation and surveillance. Through photography\, archive and space making\, their work interrogates the ways the naturalization of structures of power manifest within bodies\, built environments\, and communities.\n\nNour currently serves on the Detroit Institute of Arts contemporary arts advisory group.

These units of memory\, or engrams\, are poetic portals through which we time travel\, gaining hindsight and foresight\, more meaning and greater wisdom\, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets\, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\n\nIn an era of iPhones\, Macbooks\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, everything that’s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original … every day of every year\, every meal of every trip\, every postcard destination. With constant 24/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives\, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \n\nIn Digital Engrams\, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound\, video\, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen\, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \n\nRuiz’s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, IH Arts Curator\n\nAbout the artist:\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media\, including sculpture\, video\, painting\, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials\, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico\, Ruiz’s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under\, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions\, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\n\nOne of L.A.’s rising young talents\, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022\, part of the museum's Outburst project.\n\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities. This exhibition is part of LSA's fall 2023 Art & Resistance theme semester.* UID:110231-21824621@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/110231 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Theme Semester,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Through collaborations with her immediate community\, and also using herself as a subject\, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian\, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time\, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.\n\nLee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\n\nIn Lee’s photographic exploration\, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative\, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.\n\nBy reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were\, but how she experienced them\, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation\, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.\n\nThrough Lee’s lens\, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish\, conflict and distress have left their imprints\, sometimes visible\, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

DESCRIPTION:Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance\, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology\, robotics\, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women\, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves. \nTrained as an engineer and an artist\, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex\, layered\, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving\, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood\, technology\, female bodies\, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to\, and alternative to\, patriarchal\, capitalist\, production-based\, and seemingly rational\, useful\, logical systems. \n“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” 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.\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, or Flint U-M campuses in Fall 2023 are invited to apply to this juried exhibition that explores what can be done to create more just and equitable futures in the 21st Century and beyond.\n The 2023 exhibition will include art of a variety of mediums and will be displayed in four galleries across all three U-M campuses\, including Stamps Gallery (Central Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Duderstadt Center Gallery (North Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Riverbank Arts (Flint)\, and Stamelos Gallery (Dearborn). \nThe arts play a central role in shaping cultural and political narratives. Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change by offering alternate models and ways of thinking\, making and creating that do not perpetuate dominant regimes. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one'\;s personal politics\, an artwork'\;s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary. \nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink invites students to leverage their creativity to (re)imagine what they can do to create a more just and equitable community in the spaces that they inhabit.\nThroughout the spring\, summer\, and fall of 2023\, U-M students submitted artworks through an open call process. A final list of artworks were chosen for the exhibition by a Selection Committee made up of U-M faculty\, staff\, and students. \n\nThe 2023 RRR Selection Committee members are: \nPedram Baldari\, Jim Cogswell\, Laura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Adrienne Frank\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Quinn Hunter\, Ikalanni Jahi\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, Kathi Reister\, Chloe Schans\, and Grace Sirman. \nThe 2023 RRR Curatorial Committee members are: \nLaura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Kathi Reister. \nThe 2023 RRR Organizing Committee members are: Chris Audain\, Adrienne Frank\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Joe Rohrer.

The exhibition examines the Amistad Dam in Del Rio\, the largest dam in Rio Grande that is jointly managed by the United States and Mexico and other contested sites in the region to unravel layered histories\, connections\, and tensions present in West Texas through film\, sculpture\, installation\, collage\, and drawing. \nThe experimental documentary film Teaching of the Hands is the center point of the exhibition - as it combines oral histories\, reenactments\, and archival footage to narrate a complex history of colonization\, migration\, and ecological precarity\, Told from the perspective of Juan Mancias\, Chairman of the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas\, scenes from the present day are woven together with those from 4\,000 years in the past to investigate the transformation of Somi Se’k* by way of industry\, infrastructure\, and private property. \nEmerging from the research to create the film\, the exhibition includes an immersive installation of surveying flags and tools\, series of drawings and collages\, and a collection of original watercolors from the 1930s by artists and amateur archaeologists Forrest and Lula Kirkland that depict the ancient rock art of the Lower Pecos\,that expand on concepts in The Teachings of the Hands. The watercolors\, rarely seen plein air paintings\, are on loan from the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory at the University of Texas\, and document the original forms and vibrant colors of murals that were still visible in the 1930s before flooding\, erosion\, and human interaction damaged or destroyed them. This exhibition has been shown in various iterations at Ballroom Marfa\, the University of Texas at Austin\, the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts\, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and will be shown in Michigan and the midwest for the first time. The Blessings of the Mystery brings together an expansive body of work that sheds light on vital histories\, living memories and Indigenous knowledge-systems embedded within the land well before the colonial boundaries between Mexico and the US were established - advocating for environmental justice and recognition of Indigenous rights and cosmologies.

Ukrainian Poetry and Resistance DESCRIPTION:In this panel\, Alex Averbuch\, Oksana Maksymchuk\, and Max Rosochinsky join in conversation moderated by Svitlana Rogovyk over the interweaving traditions of poetry and resistance in Ukraine. Poetry has been used as a tool of resistance in Ukraine in a number of ways: as a means of preserving languages\, as a witness to atrocity\, as a form of remembrance\, as a testament to survival\, and as a grounds for experimentation and celebration. As poets\, translators\, and scholars of Ukraine\, the panelists offer their personal and professional insights to the social role of the arts in the context of Ukraine's multiethnic culture and history. Discussion will be accompanied by poetry reading.\n \nResponding to Russia’s war against Ukraine\, artist Irina Bondarenko created the installation *Guardian Passage* by pairing images of guardian figures with the lines of poetry to invoke the sense of cultural guardianship that Ukrainian language carries for the nation. Alex Averbuch’s poem\, “He wasn’t there alone” in Oksana Maksymchuk and Max Rosochinsky’s translation is featured in the project.\n \nAlex Averbuch\, a poet\, translator\, and scholar\, is the author of three books of poetry and an array of literary translations between Hebrew\, Ukrainian\, English\, and Russian. English translations of his poems have appeared in the *Manhattan Review\, Copper Nickel\, Plume\, Birmingham Poetry Review\, Words Without Borders\, Constellations\,* and *Common Knowledge.* His latest book\, *Zhydivs’kyi korol' (The Jewish King)\,* was a finalist for the Shevchenko National Prize\, Ukraine’s highest award for culture and literature. He is a postdoctoral fellow at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies\, Harvard University.\n \nOksana Maksymchuk is a bilingual Ukrainian-American poet\, scholar\, and literary translator. Her poetry appeared in *AGNI\, The Irish Times\, The Paris Review\, The Poetry Review\,* and elsewhere. In Ukrainian\, she is the author of poetry collections *Xenia* and *Lovy* and a recipient of the B.-I. Antonych and Smoloskyp prizes\, two of Ukraine’s top awards for younger poets. She is a visiting professor of English at the University of Chicago.\n \nMax Rosochinsky is a poet\, scholar\, and translator. With Oksana Maksymchuk\, he co-edited *Words for War: New Poems from Ukraine\,* and co-translated *Apricots of Donbas* by Lyuba Yakimchuk\, and *The Voices of Babyn Yar* by Marianna Kiyanovska. Their award-winning work has been supported by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation\, Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna\, Fulbright Scholar Program\, National Endowment for the Humanities\, and National Endowment for the Arts. He is a visiting scholar in Slavic languages and literatures at the University of Chicago.\n\nSvitlana Rogovyk is a teaching professor and language program coordinator in the U-M Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures. Svitlana specializes in second language acquisition and pedagogy\, language curriculum design and development\, teaching Slavic languages to heritage speakers\, and language proficiency assessment.\n \nThis panel is presented in coordination with the exhibition *Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War *featuring art by Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova on display in the International Institute Gallery (547 Weiser Hall) from October 2 - November 29\, 2023.\n \nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and is co-sponsored by the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies\; Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia\, LSA Theme Semester on Arts and Resistance\; U-M Arts Initiative\; and the University of Michigan Museum of Art.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

But for a long time political scientists have lacked systematic data on what these groups actually want out of policy. A new dataset of lobbying and testimony records from State legislatures allows unprecedentedly-detailed study of attempts to influence state politics. But it also brings many challenges. How should we understand — and model — the activities of groups so disparate as corporations\, trade associations\, nonprofits\, unions\, churches\, and so on? Common approaches from political science\, designed to capture the policy preferences of legislators\, do not adapt well to this case. Borrowing from the networks and complex systems world\, I propose methods for quantifying and characterizing the policy interests of these groups which capture (most of) the richness in the data while also making it legible for researchers. I also show how methods developed for recommender systems like Netflix or Spotify may be able to model the preferences of organized interests by treating them as “users” and the bills they lobby on as “products”. Finally\, I point to several ways in which this information can improve the broader quantitative study of legislative politics.\n\nBio:\nGalen started his PhD in Sociology in 2023. His primary research interests have so far focused on the politics of energy and climate in the American states and at the national level. After graduating in 2020 he worked in the Climate and Development Lab at Brown\, leading several studies on public counter-movements against greenhouse gas mitigation policies as well as state-level interest group politics.

Their work is centered on understanding innate immune inflammation and its resolution. They seek to dissect how external cues and cell signaling networks regulate neutrophil migration during tissue damage and repair and how this is altered in human disease.\n\nSpeaker:\n\nAnna Huttenlocher\, M.D.\, is the Anna Ruth Brummett Professor of Pediatrics and Medical Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Wisconsin Medical School. Her laboratory is focused on understanding the basic molecular mechanisms that regulate cell migration in response to tissue damage and repair. They are particularly interested in the basic mechanisms that mediate neutrophil inflammation and its resolution. They have extensive experience with cell migration research\, host pathogen interactions and live cell imaging using both organotypic models and zebrafish as a model system. The group has developed disease models of wound healing\, cancer and chronic inflammation using zebrafish\, and has has a strong track record in resource generation and in sharing reagents with the research community. \n\nHuttenlocher is a member of the National Academy of Medicine\, was chair of the Gordon conference on Directed cell migration\, co-chaired a Banbury conference\, served on council for the American Society of Cell Biology\, serve as a senior editor at the Journal of Cell Biology and was Chair of a NIH study section. She has been committed to the education of Ph.D. and M.D. scientists in both basic and translational research. Many of her former trainees run independent research programs\, including at RIKEN Japan\, University of Colorado-Boulder\, University of Connecticut\, Purdue University\, University of Wisconsin\, University of Iowa\, Rutgers University and Albert Einstein.

In particular\, our understanding of the Late Formative (600 BCE - 200 CE) remains underdeveloped. Based on extensive surveys and limited excavation data\, it has been argued that significant changes occurred in the economic and political realms during this period. The Late Formative is hypothesized to have been a time of increasing political complexity and expanding engagement in interregional exchange. However\, the process behind how these changes came about remains unclear. In this talk\, I utilize data from both regional surveys as well as excavations at various sites throughout the region to detail the current state of knowledge on Formative Cusco. After providing this background\, I will present the results of two seasons of excavations at the site of Muyumoqo\, a potential Late Formative political and economic center located in the Chit'apampa Basin. Extensive horizontal excavations have provided supporting evidence for Muyumoqo's role as an economic and political center during the Late Formative. As I will discuss\, the site appears distinct from other known Late Formative communities and may provide early evidence for the consumption of chicha. Finally\, I will also briefly discuss the finding of a potential\, persistent household ritual practice.

Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one’s personal politics\, an artwork’s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary.

ABET also considers vital teamwork skills as one key student learning outcome for accreditation and evaluation of engineering education. Research shows that student learning outcomes are highly affected by faculty beliefs about teaching and learning. Effective professional development programs for faculty need to understand their beliefs as these beliefs shape their teaching practices. As engineering practice and engineering education are becoming increasingly globalized\, we need to take a more culturally relevant approach to understand how key competencies such as teamwork are culturally constructed and how the development of faculty beliefs is affected by broader cultural factors. In this seminar\, Yi will introduce some of her educational background and research experiences to provide an international lens to understand teamwork in engineering education. She will then present a systematic review of the existing Chinese literature on how Chinese faculty conceptualize teamwork in the classroom. In conclusion\, she will also talk about some parts of her dissertation\, how faculty in the US develop their teaching beliefs about teamwork.

Students may attend events individually\, but may find it especially helpful to attend each in progression.\n\nAbout today's workshop:\nWith a focus on humanities students\, this workshop will provide guidance around cover letters and resumes for positions beyond tenure track roles.\n\nThe process of synthesizing your academic experiences into strong application materials for jobs beyond academia can be challenging but rewarding. This workshop is a hands-on opportunity for graduate students to learn how to effectively develop a resume using the foundation that they have laid with information and experiences from their CV. The session will also include strategies for writing compelling\, tailored cover letters and thinking strategically about how these two documents complement each other.\n\nTo make the most of the session\, students should come prepared to discuss and workshop ideas\, and have a simple list of their recent experiences and skills they might want to highlight (a CV or past resume would also work). \n\nAbout the presenters:\nJoe Cialdella is the assistant director of internships & public scholarship at Rackham Graduate School. Kirsten Elling is the coordinator for graduate student career advancement and the Rackham embedded career counselor at the University Career Center.

The results have far-reaching impacts ranging from providing the most detailed and quantitative measures of the star formation histories of low-mass galaxies and insights into their growth across cosmic timescales\, to determining precise distances to galaxies throughout the Local Volume which place galaxy properties on an absolute scale and are essential inputs for measuring of the local value of the Hubble Constant.\n\nIn this talk\, I will (i) highlight recent results from resolved star studies on very low-mass galaxies with HST data\, (ii) present the first star formation history of a galaxy with JWST data alongside a comparison to HST data of the same field\, and (iii) introduce new tip of the giant branch (TRGB) distance calibrations derived from HST infrared data and JWST data on nearby galaxies\, the latter of which paves the way for a JWST-based measure of the Hubble Constant.

Who would want to watch them? And why? \n \nEsports — video gaming as a spectator sport — currently boasts an estimated global viewership of 500 million and an annual revenue of over US$1 billion. This talk examines esports' perceived novelty through the lens of its history and popularity in East Asia\, particularly South Korea and China. East Asian players continue to profoundly dominate today’s global esports scene\, even while the video games that they excel at are American-made. The drama (and the profitability) of this global virtual competition depends on a potent set of fantasies about race\, gender\, national identity\, and ideal \"sportsmanship.\" Esports both interrupts and reproduces stereotypes of Asian and Asian American men as unathletic\, nerdy\, “cheap\,” hyper-competitive Others. This talk argues that the continued success of global esports ultimately depends on a toxic set of \"mini-games\" which bring together old and new modes of inter-racial competition\, ideas of masculinity and athleticism\, and American nationalism against the backdrop of a rising China. \nTara Fickle is Associate Professor of Asian American Studies at Northwestern University. Her first book\, The Race Card: From Gaming Technologies to Model Minorities\, (NYU Press\, 2019\, winner of Before Columbus Foundation’s American Book Award)\, explores how games have been used to establish and combat Asian and Asian American racial stereotypes.

DESCRIPTION:Actual and perceived gender norms are key to understanding gender inequality. Using newly-collected\, nationally representative datasets from 60 countries covering 80% of the world population\, this paper studies gender norms on two policy issues: basic rights\, allowing women to work outside of the home\, and affirmative action\, prioritizing women when hiring for leadership positions. Misperceptions of gender norms are pervasive across the world\, and the nature of the misperception is context-dependent. In less gender-equal countries\, people underestimate support for both policies\, particularly support among men\; in more gender-equal countries\, people overestimate support for affirmative action\, particularly support among women\, and underestimate support for basic rights. Gender stereotyping and overweighting of minority views are potential drivers of the global patterns of misperceptions. Our findings indicate how misperceptions of gender norms may obstruct progress toward gender equality and contribute to sustaining gender policies that are not necessarily favored by women.\n\n\nThis talk is presented by the Economic Development Seminar\, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics through a generous gift given by Jay and Beth Rakow.

Mathematicians often receive advice tailored for other areas\, such as building physical objects\, consulting\, or general software development\, that may not apply. Additionally\, startups with sophisticated mathematical\, statistical\, or engineering algorithms may encounter unique problems. In this new colloquium series\, startup CEOs will discuss the story of their companies from seed to IPO stages and offer advice on building successful businesses based on mathematics or algorithms.\n\nDr. Walch is the CEO of Arcascope\, which makes science-backed apps to help people fix their sleep and circadian rhythms. She received her Ph.D in Applied Mathematics from the University of Michigan in 2016 and studied the mathematics of sleep for the last ten years. Outside of sleep\, she was co-editor of Political Geometry\, a volume on the mathematics of gerrymandering\, with Moon Duchin.

A well-established treatment modality (continuous positive airway pressure) is often ineffective in mitigating these co-morbidities. Thus\, the development of novel treatments to eliminate apnea and mitigate associated co-morbidities is imperative. We are addressing this mandate by determining if repeated exposure to mild intermittent hypoxia (MIH) mitigates cardiovascular dysfunction and enhances performance fatigability. We propose that exposure to MIH has a multipronged effect. MIH directly targets cardiovascular co-morbidities\, while simultaneously enhancing upper airway stability and increasing the arousal threshold. These modifications may serve to directly mitigate apnea. Alternatively\, these modifications may serve to improve treatment adherence with continuous positive airway pressure. Independent of its effect\, MIH may serve as an adjunctive therapy which provides another path to mitigating cardiovascular co-morbidities that might ultimately result in improvements in performance fatigability.\n\nBio:\nDr. Mateika is a respiratory physiologist who is presently investigating the impact of genetically or spinal cord injury induced reductions in central nervous system serotonin on mechanisms that influence breathing stability and cardiovascular/autonomic function in mice. Dr. Mateika is also exploring if repeated daily exposure to mild intermittent hypoxia independently or combined with continuous positive airway pressure mitigates co-morbidities (i.e. hypertension) linked to sleep apnea in humans.

Appalachia? The Talimali Band of Apalachee Indians\, Twenty-First Century Colonialism\, and the Struggle for Tribal Sovereignty DESCRIPTION:Colonial studies are often conducted within the “bubble” of academia and in isolation from the descendants of the communities most dramatically impacted by the ravages of colonialism. In this talk\, Kimberly C. Borchard (Randolph-Macon College) will discuss how her first monograph\, Appalachia as Contested Borderland of the Early Modern Atlantic\, 1528-1715\, in chronicling two centuries of atrocities committed against the Apalachee people and other Native societies of the American southeast\, led to a new project documenting Apalachee history since 1763. Through contact with living descendants of the people that first encountered Spanish gold-seekers in the Florida peninsula in the early sixteenth century\, Borchard has transitioned from purely historical research to contemporary advocacy for living members of the Apalachee tribe\, whose land claims and sovereignty continue to be systematically ignored by the U.S. government.\n\nKim Borchard earned her B.A. and M.A. from Ohio University and her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. She teaches courses in Spanish\, Latin American colonial literature\, the social issues surrounding Latin American immigration to the U.S.\, and humor in Spanish at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland\, Virginia. Her first book\, Appalachia as Contested Borderland of the Early Modern Atlantic\, 1528-1715 explores the European obsession with Appalachian mineral resources from 1528 to 1715\, reframing Appalachian history within the fields of Latin American\, early American\, and Atlantic history. Her next book\, tentatively titled The Talimali Band the Apalachee Indians of Louisiana: The Struggle for Survival and Federal Reinstatement of One of America's Oldest Tribes\, 1763-2024\, will document the history of the Apalachee diaspora in Louisiana after the tribe's expulsion from Florida in 1704.

A decade later\, living in political exile in Germany\, he was found brutally murdered. \nThe murder\, still unsolved\, serves as the starting point for “Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World\,” a new theatrical work by British-Iranian theater maker Javaad Alipoor\, featuring Iranian musician\, writer\, actor\, and podcast host King Raam. The show will be staged as part of the UMS season while this series event will bring Alipoor and Raam together to showcase their individual practices and a discussion of their collaboration and their common cultural background and influences.\nJavaad Alipoor is an artist\, writer\, and the Artistic Director of The Javaad Alipoor Company. He is a former ACE changemaker and was Resident Associate Director at Sheffield Theatres for their 2017/18 season\, and prior to this was Associate Director at Theatre in the Mill from 2015 to 2017. He was a founding member of the International Alliance in Support of Iranian Workers\, the Syria Solidarity Campaign\, and the Bradford-based pro-EU Migrant organization #BradfordSaysEveryoneStays.

UM-Ann Arbor professor of anthropology Hakem Al-Rustom\, will be the discussant for this event. Refreshments will be provided!\n \nAbout the book:\n \nSince Iran's 1979 Revolution\, the imperative to create and protect the inner purity of family and nation in the face of outside spiritual corruption has been a driving force in national politics. Through extensive fieldwork\, Professor Rose Wellman examines how Basiji families\, as members of Iran's voluntary paramilitary organization\, encounter\, enact\, and challenge this imperative. Her ethnography reveals how families and state elites employ blood\, food\, and prayer in commemorations of martyrs in Islamic national rituals to create citizens who embody familial piety\, purity\, and closeness to God.\n \n *Feeding Iran: Shi`i Families and the Making of the Islamic Republic* provides a rare and humanistic account of religion and family life in the post-revolutionary Islamic Republic that examines how home life and everyday piety are linked to state power.\n \nAbout the author:\n \n Rose Wellman is an anthropologist who specializes in Iran\, the Middle East\, and its diaspora\, including Arab Detroit. Her book *Feeding Iran: Shi’i Families and the Making of the Islamic Republic* draws from ethnographic research in Iran between 2007 and 2010 to explore how everyday family life and piety are linked to state power. Wellman is currently conducting research with Arab Americans that focuses on Metro Detroit’s vibrant Iraqi community. She is a faculty affiliate of the Center for Arab American Narratives at ACCESS and a member of Healthy Dearborn’s research committee. Wellman’s courses at the University of Michigan-Dearborn cover subjects as diverse as the Middle East\, religion\, kinship and marriage\, food\, Islam\, Islamophobia\, anti-racism\, globalization\, and Arab America\, emphasizing critical thinking and project-based learning in a globalized world. Wellman further draws from her research in Metro Detroit and beyond to provide students with real-world ethnographic research experiences and opportunities to engage the diverse community of Southeast Michigan. Between 2014 and 2017\, Wellman was a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University’s Sharmin and Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in 2014 and her B.A. from Mount Holyoke College in 2005.\n \nAbout the commentator:\n \nHakem Al-Rustom is the Alex Manoogian Professor of Modern Armenian History and assistant professor of history and anthropology at the University of Michigan. His work interrogates ruins of undocumented histories\, ethnographic silences\, and memory as methods for historical ethnographies in the aftermath of violence. He is the co-editor of *Edward Said: A Legacy of Emancipation and Representation* (University of California Press 2010) and is currently finishing a book on the afterlives of the *Armenian Genocide in Turkey* (by Columbia University Press).\n \n \n This event is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC) at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.\n \n Want to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

In this course\, we will build on the Lindy Hop essentials of Swing I and learn how to do a swingout. Swingouts are a fundamental (and by far the most recognizable) move of Lindy Hop! They require dancers to hone their connection with a partner and can lay the groundwork for many new moves. We will dedicate most of the time in this class to cleaning up the swingouts you will learn in the first few weeks. We will also focus on musicality and teach you a few fun swingout variations (time permitting).  COURSE PREREQUISITES: Swing I or equivalent. You should feel comfortable switching between 6-count and 8-count Lindy Hop\, have experience with some basic variations (e.g. yoyos\, Lindy circles)\, and feel confident about your musicality and connection. We will not expect you to know how to do a swingout yet – we will teach you to do one! WHEN: 7:30pm-8:30pm on Thursdays (11/2\, 11/9\, 11/16\, 11/30) WHERE: Mason Hall Room 1401\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor  INSTRUCTORS: Sarah Redman & Steve Losh  PRICING:General Admission 4-Week Pass: $40SAA Member 4-Week Pass: $30Individual Class: $12Acceptable forms of payment: cash\, check\, or PayPal REGISTRATION: Please register in advance by filling out this short form: https://tinyurl.com/SAANovProgressives\ UID:114108-21832356@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114108 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Mason Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230802T095210 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231109T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Antje Duvekot & Joe Crookston DESCRIPTION:Wonderful songwriters from the Northeastern scene\n\nA former Artist-in-Residence at Folk Alliance International\, Joe Crookston of Ithaca\, New York\, is an artist\, writer\, singer\, guitar picker\, painter\, clawhammer banjo player\, eco-village member and believer in all things possible.

It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko’s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war\; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats\, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova’s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage\, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline\, red thread connects these projects\, weaving through clay and fabric\, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on “Arts and Resistance.”\n\nIrina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist\, a native of Ukraine\, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan. Irina has been with the University of Michigan Biostatistics Department for more than 20 years. and published over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Along with her career at the School of Public Health\, for the last 10 years Irina has been pursuing her interest in ceramics. Her work was featured in over a dozen national shows\, the 24th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition\, and the “Strictly Functional Pottery National Show” in 2021 and 2022\, and\, most recently\, the Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum.\n\nArtist website: https://www.ibondceramics.com/\n\nKatya Lisova is an artist\, designer\, and art historian. Born in Kyiv\, she is a graduate of the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk (2009) and the National Academy of Cultural and Artistic Leaders (2018).

Tremel\, who teaches ceramics at the Penny W Stamps School of Art and Design\, describes her work in the following way:\n\n“My pots are made with a wooden paddle and round stone. They are slowly raised by beating\, turning\, and drying the clay repeatedly until the walls are thinly stretched and the form is filled with life. I pierce the fragile\, unfired walls of the vessel with a tapered tool and then painstakingly carve the holes with a thin blade. The piercings give visual access to the interior of the form and create a tension with the fragility of the ceramic material. When the pot is illuminated the light fills the vessel and physically embodies the energy that it contains. The piercings allow this energy to flow beyond the walls of the form and into the surrounding space. The soft patterns of light are an exhalation\, filling the dark room with a sense of quiet repose. I invite you to stop and take a breath.”\n\nThe public is invited to an opening reception for the artist on October 20\, from 4-6 pm\, and the public is invited.

These units of memory\, or engrams\, are poetic portals through which we time travel\, gaining hindsight and foresight\, more meaning and greater wisdom\, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets\, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\n\nIn an era of iPhones\, Macbooks\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, everything that’s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original … every day of every year\, every meal of every trip\, every postcard destination. With constant 24/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives\, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \n\nIn Digital Engrams\, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound\, video\, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen\, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \n\nRuiz’s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, IH Arts Curator\n\nAbout the artist:\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media\, including sculpture\, video\, painting\, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials\, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico\, Ruiz’s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under\, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions\, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\n\nOne of L.A.’s rising young talents\, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022\, part of the museum's Outburst project.\n\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities. This exhibition is part of LSA's fall 2023 Art & Resistance theme semester.* UID:110231-21824622@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/110231 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Theme Semester,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Through collaborations with her immediate community\, and also using herself as a subject\, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian\, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time\, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.\n\nLee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\n\nIn Lee’s photographic exploration\, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative\, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.\n\nBy reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were\, but how she experienced them\, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation\, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.\n\nThrough Lee’s lens\, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish\, conflict and distress have left their imprints\, sometimes visible\, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

The title of the 2-day conference\, part of the Nam Center’s Perspectives on Contemporary Korea conference series\, references the visceral\, emotional experiences embedded in and conjured by Korean music performance across many eras\, genres\, and locations. In the 21st century\, Korean music defies geopolitical boundaries and the confines of genre as artists draw on their own experiences and communities to express the lived realities of the contemporary Korean experience. The music we explore in this symposium is inclusive of long-standing traditions and new creations on the Korean peninsula\, music performance in the Diaspora\, and collaborations drawing and expanding upon Korean musical aesthetics. The participants in this two-day event will explore the many notions of Korean music on and beyond the Korean peninsula\, through space and time\, and reimagined via multiple encounters and experiences.\n\nThis event will be a combination of traditional paper presentation\, roundtables\, and workshops. There will also be at least two performances during the two-day event. The event will be free & open to the public.

DESCRIPTION:Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance\, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology\, robotics\, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women\, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves. \nTrained as an engineer and an artist\, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex\, layered\, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving\, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood\, technology\, female bodies\, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to\, and alternative to\, patriarchal\, capitalist\, production-based\, and seemingly rational\, useful\, logical systems. \n“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” 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.\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

Few modern states are free of dark histories of exclusion\, forced assimilation\, or more sanguinary solutions to the remnants of imperial diversity. Investigating states that were founded on dispossession of indigenous peoples\, we examine the Turkish past and the histories of the United States\, Israel\, and Australia\, among others. Turkey is not unique\, but its achievement in ridding Anatolia of Armenians and Assyrians\, like the removal of Native Americans from continental United States\, was admired by and positively referred to by Adolph Hitler as he planned his own genocidal policies in the lands to the east of Germany.\n\n Our conference examines the ideological and strategic choices made by Ottoman and Turkish nationalist leaders as they attempted to “modernize” their states through coercive demographic policies and the deployment of violence\, which became enshrined as part of the repertoire of governance in the Kemalist state. Having eliminated the bulk of Christians\, the heirs of the Ottomans repressed their former allies\, the Kurds\, turning what they conceived as a homogeneous ethnic nation-state into a mini-imperial state colonizing its non-Turkish subjects.\n \nJust as the controversial 1619 Project in the United States has contested the origins of the American republic by seeking its beginnings with the first importation of African slaves\, rather than the revolutionary events of 1776\, so shall this workshop explore the formative events and processes from the initiation of systemic reforms in the Ottoman Empire in 1789\, through the Tanzimat reforms of 1839 and 1876\, the coup d’état of 1908 and the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1916\, to the 1918 fall of the empire\, the 1919-1922 rise of the Kemalist nationalist movement\, and the 1923 founding of the Republic of Turkey.\n\nFor the schedule of events\, visit https://ii.umich.edu/armenian/news-events/all-events/workshops/november-2023-from-the-foundational-crime.html\n\n---\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at armenianstudies@umich.edu.

Using granular data on flooding and card expenditures\, we show that Harvey-induced flooding caused a modest increase in establishment exit. Using a model of consumer demand\, we find that Harvey-induced exits reduced consumer welfare by less than 2% on average\, but that welfare decreased by more than 12% in the hardest-hit census tracts. We discuss how to optimally allocate business aid after natural disasters.

Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University.

In this talk\, I will present statistical significance of clustering (SigClust) as a cluster evaluation tool for high dimensional data. To begin\, we define a cluster as data originating from a single Gaussian distribution and frame the assessment of statistical significance of clustering as a formal testing procedure. Addressing the challenge of high-dimensional covariance estimation in SigClust\, we employ a combination of invariance principles and a factor analysis model. I'll also discuss an enhanced SigClust using multidimensional scaling (MDS) on dissimilarity matrices. SigClust for hierarchical clustering will be presented as well. Simulations and real data\, including cancer subtype analysis\, validate SigClust's effectiveness in assessing clustering significance.\n\n\nhttps://yfliu.web.unc.edu/ UID:109435-21822024@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/109435 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231016T165604 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231110T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231110T210000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Veterans Week 2023 DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor is proud to host the 2023 Veterans Week celebration\, running Nov. 6-10. \n\nThis annual event features a week of programming that educates and celebrates the experiences and sacrifice of those who have served our country.

All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, or Flint U-M campuses in Fall 2023 are invited to apply to this juried exhibition that explores what can be done to create more just and equitable futures in the 21st Century and beyond.\n The 2023 exhibition will include art of a variety of mediums and will be displayed in four galleries across all three U-M campuses\, including Stamps Gallery (Central Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Duderstadt Center Gallery (North Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Riverbank Arts (Flint)\, and Stamelos Gallery (Dearborn). \nThe arts play a central role in shaping cultural and political narratives. Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change by offering alternate models and ways of thinking\, making and creating that do not perpetuate dominant regimes. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one'\;s personal politics\, an artwork'\;s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary. \nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink invites students to leverage their creativity to (re)imagine what they can do to create a more just and equitable community in the spaces that they inhabit.\nThroughout the spring\, summer\, and fall of 2023\, U-M students submitted artworks through an open call process. A final list of artworks were chosen for the exhibition by a Selection Committee made up of U-M faculty\, staff\, and students. \n\nThe 2023 RRR Selection Committee members are: \nPedram Baldari\, Jim Cogswell\, Laura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Adrienne Frank\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Quinn Hunter\, Ikalanni Jahi\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, Kathi Reister\, Chloe Schans\, and Grace Sirman. \nThe 2023 RRR Curatorial Committee members are: \nLaura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Kathi Reister. \nThe 2023 RRR Organizing Committee members are: Chris Audain\, Adrienne Frank\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Joe Rohrer.

The exhibition examines the Amistad Dam in Del Rio\, the largest dam in Rio Grande that is jointly managed by the United States and Mexico and other contested sites in the region to unravel layered histories\, connections\, and tensions present in West Texas through film\, sculpture\, installation\, collage\, and drawing. \nThe experimental documentary film Teaching of the Hands is the center point of the exhibition - as it combines oral histories\, reenactments\, and archival footage to narrate a complex history of colonization\, migration\, and ecological precarity\, Told from the perspective of Juan Mancias\, Chairman of the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas\, scenes from the present day are woven together with those from 4\,000 years in the past to investigate the transformation of Somi Se’k* by way of industry\, infrastructure\, and private property. \nEmerging from the research to create the film\, the exhibition includes an immersive installation of surveying flags and tools\, series of drawings and collages\, and a collection of original watercolors from the 1930s by artists and amateur archaeologists Forrest and Lula Kirkland that depict the ancient rock art of the Lower Pecos\,that expand on concepts in The Teachings of the Hands. The watercolors\, rarely seen plein air paintings\, are on loan from the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory at the University of Texas\, and document the original forms and vibrant colors of murals that were still visible in the 1930s before flooding\, erosion\, and human interaction damaged or destroyed them. This exhibition has been shown in various iterations at Ballroom Marfa\, the University of Texas at Austin\, the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts\, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and will be shown in Michigan and the midwest for the first time. The Blessings of the Mystery brings together an expansive body of work that sheds light on vital histories\, living memories and Indigenous knowledge-systems embedded within the land well before the colonial boundaries between Mexico and the US were established - advocating for environmental justice and recognition of Indigenous rights and cosmologies.

A light lunch will be served. \n\nAbstract:\nIn his seminal 1993 text Discrepant Engagement: Dissonance\, Cross-Culturality and Experimental Writing\, Nathaniel Mackey proposes a mode of critical reading that\, \"rather than suppressing resonance\, dissonance\, noise\, seeks to remain open to them.\" This kind of engagement\, from which the book takes its title\, proceeds by combination of materials our disciplines have not normally grouped under a common rubric. Discrepant engagement is more than mere pluralism--more\, that is\, than an openness to variety regarding objects of scholarly reflection. It is\, rather\, a rigorous method of scholarly oscillation\, mixing\, and layering\, whereby new creative possibilities are systematically opened up. In this chapter\, I have two main contentions. First\, I argue that Mackey's concept of discrepant engagement implies a certain metaphysical outlook\, derived from a wide range of sources\, including process philosophy\, deconstruction\, postcolonial thought\, quantum mechanics\, Rastafari\, Sufi\, and Dogon religious practice\, the poetics of projective verse\, and African American musical tradition\, among too many others to list. Second\, I argue that this metaphysical outlook governs the technical and conceptual innovations of Mackey's poetry. Mackey\, as poet-metaphysician\, offers a way of re-conceiving being\, figuring it as \"vibrational\, rather than corpuscular\,\" and in so doing\, provides a model of poetic understanding with implications for both scholarly and poetic practice.

They provide essential nutrients for metabolism\, eliminate waste\, enable cell-to-cell communication\, and store the potential energy that fuels life. Yet\, despite their overwhelming importance\, we still lack a physical and molecular understanding of why membrane transport proteins form stable structures that enable their specific functions within the oil-filled environment of the lipid bilayer. Our lack of understanding here is well rationalized by the inherent challenge of measuring equilibrium reactions of membrane protein assembly in membranes\, compounded by the complexity of the reaction solvent as a structured lipid bilayer. However\, through a combination of novel experimental single-molecule microscopy approaches coupled with coarse-grained and all-atom computational modeling\, we can now measure equilibrium constants of protein association in membranes and dissect out the important molecular contributions from the protein and surrounding membrane. Here\, I present our results on two systems where reversible binding within membranes can be quantitatively assessed - the homodimeric CLC-ec1 chloride/proton antiporter and the dual-topology homodimeric Fluc fluoride ion channel. By combining experimental and computational studies\, we identify a driving force for protein association that arises from state-dependent perturbation of the membrane structure\, and a mechanism for tuning dimerization stability by altering solvation energetics through preferential solvation. These results present a generalizable driving force for membrane protein assembly in membranes that is expected to apply to all ion channels and transporters.

They are leaders in the community and food service industry\, founders of a nonprofit food rescue program and food bank\, and deliver the Zingermans experience in eleven different businesses with roughly $70\,000\,000 in annual sales. All while staying true to their beliefs.\n\nAlthough most of us don’t realize it\, our beliefs have a major impact on how things go in our lives. What we believe may or may not be true\, but unknowingly most of us will behave in ways that reinforce our beliefs anyway. In this workshop\, keynote\, Ari Weinzweig\, Cofounding Partner of Zingerman’s Community of Businesses\, will take a look at how the impact of those beliefs likely plays out in our day-to-day experiences\, and how our workplaces\, social circles\, and we are impacted by those beliefs. Whether we accept it or not\, what we believe about ourselves\, our organization\, our co-workers\, our boss\, the work that we do and our ability to do it will significantly alter the outcomes we are seeking to achieve. And how\, by becoming more mindful of our beliefs\, we can effectively backtrack— by altering our beliefs\, we change the way we see our work and the world and then\, in turn\, significantly alter the outcomes we get from our efforts. \n\nAri Weinzweig\n\nAri Weinzweig is CEO and co-founding partner of Zingerman’s Community of Businesses\, which includes Zingerman's Delicatessen\, Bakehouse\, Creamery\, Catering\, Mail Order\, ZingTrain\, Coffee Company\, Roadhouse\, Candy Manufactory\, Events at Cornman Farms\, Miss Kim\, and Zingerman’s Food Tours.\n\nZingerman’s produces\, sells\, and serves all sorts of full flavored\, traditional foods in its home of Ann Arbor\, Michigan to the tune of $70\,000\,000 a year in annual sales. Ari was recognized as one of the “Who’s Who of Food & Beverage in America” by the 2006 James Beard Foundation and has awarded a Bon Appétit Lifetime Achievement Award\, among many recognitions. Ari is the author of a number of articles and books\, including Zingerman’s Guide to Good Eating\, Zingerman’s Guide to Better Bacon\, Zingerman’s Guide to Giving Great Service\, Zingerman’s Guide to Good Leading\, Part 1: A Lapsed Anarchist’s Approach to Building a Great Business\, Zingerman's Guide to Good Leading\, Part 2: A Lapsed Anarchist’s Approach to Being a Better Leader\, Zingerman's Guide to Good Leading\, Part 3: A Lapsed Anarchist's Approach to Managing Ourselves\, Zingerman's Guide to Good Leading\, and Part 4: A Lapsed Anarchist's Approach to the Power of Beliefs in Business.\n\nIn 2017\, Ari was named one of “The World's 10 Top CEOs (They Lead in a Totally Unique Way)” by Inc.

This study examines the use of two-sided labor market platforms as a private governance solution to protect vulnerable workers in contexts where the power dynamics between employers and workers are highly unequal. Specifically\, we collaborated with a Singapore-based online platform that connects foreign domestic workers with employers (families). In this setting\, it is not uncommon for workers to be mistreated by employers via various forms of exploitation and abuse. The collaborating platform was interested in exploring whether introducing a new rating system that allows workers to rate employers could improve this situation for workers. Accordingly\, we randomized communication about such a rating system and examined how each side of the platform reacted. We found that employers did not respond positively to the rating system\, though their negative reaction was offset if they were nudged to consider the instrumental benefits of the intervention for them. Surprisingly\, workers also disliked the idea of the rating system\, despite it being intended to protect and empower them. Post-hoc analysis and interviews suggest that the most vulnerable workers were particularly concerned about the employer-rating system. Our paper illustrates that\, in settings with large power differentials\, platform governance mechanisms intended to help vulnerable workers could have unintended negative consequences. It thus highlights the importance of understanding the nuanced determinants of vulnerable workers’ challenges when considering whether platform governance might improve or exacerbate them.

Frequently\, this can be formulated as computing a probability measure on physical characteristics of a system from observed data on the output of a model of system behavior. In abstract terms\, this is the empirical stochastic inverse problem for a random vector on a probability space with an unknown probability measure. Over the last fifteen years\, collaborators and I have developed a general Bayesian approach to the formulation and solution of this problem. Our approach has a solid theoretical foundation that avoids alterations of the model like regularization as well as unrealistic and limiting assumptions about prior knowledge of system characteristics\, allows for numerical solution by a novel importance sampling approach\, and provides a platform to address critical issues arising in the practical application to scientific and engineering problems. I will lay out the theoretical and computational foundation of our approach with the details motivated by practical applications including optimizing car mileage\, cooking steaks\, hurricane storm surge forecasting\, and forecasting COVID surges. Time permitting\, I will discuss the relationship with common Bayesian statistics.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Don Estep is the Director of the Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute and is Canada Research Chair in Computational Probability and Uncertainty Quantification in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science at Simon Fraser University.\n\nTalk will be in-person and on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98734707290\n\n[Contact: R.

It can be embedded into a multi-projective space\, where it is cut out by the incidence Plücker relations. We explore two extensions of this variety: First\, we study the nonnegative flag variety\, which corresponds to a subset of the flag variety consisting of flags that can be represented by totally positive matrices. Second\, we study the tropicalization of the flag variety and\, more specifically\, its nonnegative part. In both cases\, we provide equivalent descriptions of these spaces for flag varieties of rank r=(a\,a+1\,...\,b)\, where r consists of consecutive integers. We also explore descriptions of the nonnegative tropical flag variety in terms of polytopal subdivisions. This talk is based on joint work with Chris Eur and Lauren Williams.

Suppose that Sam is Black by US standards but White by Brazilian standards. What is Sam’s race? We need to avoid the conclusion that they are both Black (since the US view is not in error) and not Black (since the Brazilian view is not in error either)\, and in general we need a consistent way to assign social statuses when grids collide. Enter the social relationalist. Social relationalism is the view that social statuses are not simple monadic properties but rather dyadic relations to social rules. For the social relationalist\, there is no simple monadic property of being Black (/White) for Sam to have. Rather Sam is a person who is both racialized as Black relative to the US one drop rule\, and also racialized as White relative to Brazilian appearance-based rules. These are consistent relational statuses. More generally—the social relationalist concludes—we are all persons who are racialized\, gendered\, and otherwise classified in various ways only relative to various grids.

All life\, extinct and extant\, must abide by the same physical laws. Through an understanding of these physical properties\, we can place quantitative constraints on the life habits and ecological roles of extinct organisms. Open-source tools and other emerging technologies can help answer broad questions in paleobiology by enabling detailed reconstructions of fossils and the biomechanical properties of their once-living counterparts. This talk will focus on using such an approach (involving computer modeling\, robotics\, and other tools) to investigate the aquatic biomechanics of a model system spanning ~0.5 billion years – the externally shelled cephalopods (i.e.\, ammonoids and nautiloids). The evolutionary history of these animals\, and their hydromechanical properties\, illuminate unique solutions to the obstacles presented by aquatic locomotion\, involving buoyancy\, stability\, maneuverability\, control\, and locomotive efficiency. These form-function relationships add context to early benthic-nektic transitions and various marine radiations\, while highlighting fundamental constraints on aquatic locomotion more broadly.

I will talk about the generalizations of the analogous problem for graphs. In particular\, we give conditions on characterizing hyperbolicity phenomena in free-by-cyclic groups\, and more general free group extensions\, and show how the geometry of the extension is reflected in the dynamics of the monodromy.

These techniques\, however\, are not as widely used at the NRC for reactor licensing calculations. Several factors are at play that will likely result in an increase in the use of CFD techniques. Reactor vendors are using CFD in the design of new reactors\, computer capacity increases have made the analyses more practical\, and recent engineering graduates are familiar with the approach. The ability to predict complex flow behavior in almost any geometry gives CFD the potential to add insights for certain safety analyses that are not realizable with the traditional reactor system codes. Challenges\, observations\, and lessons learned from 25 years of working with CFD techniques at the NRC are discussed along with considerations for the future.  \n\nDr. Christopher Boyd is a senior level advisor for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) within the Office of Research at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). His focus is on CFD analyses and benchmarking efforts aimed at understanding safety issues and reducing uncertainty with the overall goal of improving regulatory effectiveness at the NRC. Prior to working for the NRC\, he worked as a wind tunnel project engineer focused on measurement techniques and calibration issues in high speed wind tunnels at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in White Oak\, Maryland. Dr. Boyd received a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland in 1996 with academic research interests in turbulence\, modelling\, and heat transfer.

The exhibition features work by U-M students from across all three campuses. Light refreshments will be served. \nIn conjunction with the Fall 2023 Theme Semester: Arts &\; Resistance\, Stamps Gallery is partnering with the U‑M Arts Initiative to expand the 4th annual Respond/​Resist/​Rethink student art exhibition. All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, or Flint U‑M campuses in Fall 2023 are invited to apply to this juried exhibition that explores what can be done to create more just and equitable futures in the 21st Century and beyond.\n\nThe 2023 exhibition will include art of a variety of mediums and will be displayed in four galleries across all three U‑M campuses\, including Stamps Gallery (Central Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Duderstadt Center Gallery (North Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Riverbank Arts (Flint)\, and Stamelos Gallery (Dearborn).\n\nThe arts play a central role in shaping cultural and political narratives. Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change by offering alternate models and ways of thinking\, making and creating that do not perpetuate dominant regimes. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one’s personal politics\, an artwork’s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary. Respond/​Resist/​Rethink invites students to leverage their creativity to (re)imagine what they can do to create a more just and equitable community in the spaces that they inhabit.

The title of the 2-day conference\, part of the Nam Center’s Perspectives on Contemporary Korea conference series\, references the visceral\, emotional experiences embedded in and conjured by Korean music performance across many eras\, genres\, and locations. In the 21st century\, Korean music defies geopolitical boundaries and the confines of genre as artists draw on their own experiences and communities to express the lived realities of the contemporary Korean experience. The music we explore in this symposium is inclusive of long-standing traditions and new creations on the Korean peninsula\, music performance in the Diaspora\, and collaborations drawing and expanding upon Korean musical aesthetics. The participants in this two-day event will explore the many notions of Korean music on and beyond the Korean peninsula\, through space and time\, and reimagined via multiple encounters and experiences.\n\nThis event will be a combination of traditional paper presentation\, roundtables\, and workshops. There will also be at least two performances during the two-day event. The event will be free & open to the public.

It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

Few modern states are free of dark histories of exclusion\, forced assimilation\, or more sanguinary solutions to the remnants of imperial diversity. Investigating states that were founded on dispossession of indigenous peoples\, we examine the Turkish past and the histories of the United States\, Israel\, and Australia\, among others. Turkey is not unique\, but its achievement in ridding Anatolia of Armenians and Assyrians\, like the removal of Native Americans from continental United States\, was admired by and positively referred to by Adolph Hitler as he planned his own genocidal policies in the lands to the east of Germany.\n\n Our conference examines the ideological and strategic choices made by Ottoman and Turkish nationalist leaders as they attempted to “modernize” their states through coercive demographic policies and the deployment of violence\, which became enshrined as part of the repertoire of governance in the Kemalist state. Having eliminated the bulk of Christians\, the heirs of the Ottomans repressed their former allies\, the Kurds\, turning what they conceived as a homogeneous ethnic nation-state into a mini-imperial state colonizing its non-Turkish subjects.\n \nJust as the controversial 1619 Project in the United States has contested the origins of the American republic by seeking its beginnings with the first importation of African slaves\, rather than the revolutionary events of 1776\, so shall this workshop explore the formative events and processes from the initiation of systemic reforms in the Ottoman Empire in 1789\, through the Tanzimat reforms of 1839 and 1876\, the coup d’état of 1908 and the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1916\, to the 1918 fall of the empire\, the 1919-1922 rise of the Kemalist nationalist movement\, and the 1923 founding of the Republic of Turkey.\n\nFor the schedule of events\, visit https://ii.umich.edu/armenian/news-events/all-events/workshops/november-2023-from-the-foundational-crime.html\n\n---\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at armenianstudies@umich.edu.

All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, or Flint U-M campuses in Fall 2023 are invited to apply to this juried exhibition that explores what can be done to create more just and equitable futures in the 21st Century and beyond.\n The 2023 exhibition will include art of a variety of mediums and will be displayed in four galleries across all three U-M campuses\, including Stamps Gallery (Central Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Duderstadt Center Gallery (North Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Riverbank Arts (Flint)\, and Stamelos Gallery (Dearborn). \nThe arts play a central role in shaping cultural and political narratives. Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change by offering alternate models and ways of thinking\, making and creating that do not perpetuate dominant regimes. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one'\;s personal politics\, an artwork'\;s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary. \nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink invites students to leverage their creativity to (re)imagine what they can do to create a more just and equitable community in the spaces that they inhabit.\nThroughout the spring\, summer\, and fall of 2023\, U-M students submitted artworks through an open call process.

The exhibition examines the Amistad Dam in Del Rio\, the largest dam in Rio Grande that is jointly managed by the United States and Mexico and other contested sites in the region to unravel layered histories\, connections\, and tensions present in West Texas through film\, sculpture\, installation\, collage\, and drawing. \nThe experimental documentary film Teaching of the Hands is the center point of the exhibition - as it combines oral histories\, reenactments\, and archival footage to narrate a complex history of colonization\, migration\, and ecological precarity\, Told from the perspective of Juan Mancias\, Chairman of the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas\, scenes from the present day are woven together with those from 4\,000 years in the past to investigate the transformation of Somi Se’k* by way of industry\, infrastructure\, and private property. \nEmerging from the research to create the film\, the exhibition includes an immersive installation of surveying flags and tools\, series of drawings and collages\, and a collection of original watercolors from the 1930s by artists and amateur archaeologists Forrest and Lula Kirkland that depict the ancient rock art of the Lower Pecos\,that expand on concepts in The Teachings of the Hands. The watercolors\, rarely seen plein air paintings\, are on loan from the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory at the University of Texas\, and document the original forms and vibrant colors of murals that were still visible in the 1930s before flooding\, erosion\, and human interaction damaged or destroyed them. This exhibition has been shown in various iterations at Ballroom Marfa\, the University of Texas at Austin\, the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts\, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and will be shown in Michigan and the midwest for the first time. The Blessings of the Mystery brings together an expansive body of work that sheds light on vital histories\, living memories and Indigenous knowledge-systems embedded within the land well before the colonial boundaries between Mexico and the US were established - advocating for environmental justice and recognition of Indigenous rights and cosmologies.

With a singing style inherited from his family’s vocal lineage\, Nick’s songs achieve the rare feat of imparting difficult truths while inciting a certain joyful abandon\, balancing a sound forged by years of hard travel with a heartfelt reverence for the origins of country music. In the spirit of Hazel Dickens and Jimmy Driftwood\, the incisive yet wildly jubilant All Badvocally objects to the reckless destruction of the natural landscape and development run rampant\, while still offering plenty of joy and dance-ready rhythms. Spanning a variety of early country styles\, the album’s infectious harmonies shine alongside everything from jangling cajun waltzes to surf-rock infused bluesy ballads–all tied together by a voice seemingly out of place in this century\, yet ever ready to speak up about its problems. \n\nReleased via Gar Hole Records (a label founded and co-owned by Shoulders)\, All Bad marks the first LP made with his longtime band\, the Okay Crawdad\, since 2019’s premier full-length Okay\, Crawdadand their subsequent pandemic-imposed hiatus. After writing most of the album from the front seat of a tour van\, the Fayetteville\, AR-based musician and bandmates Grant D’Aubin (harmonies/bass)\, Cheech Moosekian (drums) and Jack Studer (lead guitar) recorded the album in a home studio on the banks of the MississippiRiver with New Orleans collaborators Ross Farbe and Sam Doores. \n\nSurrounded by a singing style passed down from a time before microphones\, Nick’s childhood of bird call whistles and an over-exposure to southern gospel music eventually steered him toward an adolescence drumming for metal and punk bands\, and subsequent years as an active illustrator and member of Arkansas’s heavy music scene. After numerous personal calamities and a growing obsession with the rural musical traditions of his lifelong home\, Shoulders left the Ozarks and lived out of his van\, singing on the street corners of the west while slowly being drawn to the vibrance of the New Orleans dance and busking world. After forming in early 2018\, the ‘Okay Crawdad’ band flourished briefly in the wildly talented south Louisiana alt-country scene\, culminating in the release of ‘Rather Low’ by the popular YouTubechannel Western AF\, catapulting Nick’s songs to a vastly wider audience right as Covid-19 and lockdowns ensued. Since then\, a rapid ascension into the world of touring music has seen Nick playing alongside the likes of Sierra Ferrell and at major festivals such as Stagecoach. With the hard rhythms and heavenly melodies of their newest release\, All Bad\, the band manages to concoct a body of work that is at turns sublimely freewheeling and profoundly illuminating\, yet primed to permanently warp the listener’s perspective to glorious effect.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4261/4262 for more detail.

From the jungles of Peru to the volcanoes of Hawaii\, from the beaches of Costa Rica to the streets of Brooklyn\, from the backseat of a 16-passenger van to backstage at Carnegie Hall\, the acclaimed singer/songwriter has spent much of his life crisscrossing the globe on a perpetual search for meaning\, purpose\, and understanding. It’s a quest that’s guided him both personally and professionally over the years\, one that’s come to define not only his music\, but his very sense of self. And yet\, listening to Ryan’s ambitious multi-part album\, “Wood\, Fire\, Water\, and Air\,” there is a profound sense of satisfaction in sitting still\, a recognition that perhaps all those spiritual treasures he’s been chasing for so long were closer than he thought. “My whole adult life has been this journey of trying to figure out where home is\,” Ryan reflects. “I think I’ve finally found it.” Rolling out across four distinct EPs\, “Wood\, Fire\, Water\, and Air” marks Ryan’s first studio release since putting down permanent roots in Burlington\, Vermont\, where he recently purchased a house after more than two decades of living on the road.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4311/4312 for more detail.

It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

Modernist Glass from the Polish Past DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass)\, the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.\n\nLearn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM\n\nThe exhibit opens on September 15\, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War DESCRIPTION:*Presented in association with UMS*.\n\nIn Guardian Passage\, artists Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova employ the tools and imagery of traditional Ukrainian art forms to face down the existential threat brought about by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Bondarenko’s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko’s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war\; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats\, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova’s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage\, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline\, red thread connects these projects\, weaving through clay and fabric\, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on “Arts and Resistance.”\n\nIrina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist\, a native of Ukraine\, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan. Irina has been with the University of Michigan Biostatistics Department for more than 20 years. and published over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Along with her career at the School of Public Health\, for the last 10 years Irina has been pursuing her interest in ceramics. Her work was featured in over a dozen national shows\, the 24th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition\, and the “Strictly Functional Pottery National Show” in 2021 and 2022\, and\, most recently\, the Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum.\n\nArtist website: https://www.ibondceramics.com/\n\nKatya Lisova is an artist\, designer\, and art historian. Born in Kyiv\, she is a graduate of the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk (2009) and the National Academy of Cultural and Artistic Leaders (2018). Since 2019 she has been teaching at the Kyiv State Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk. Her work is in the field of artistic textiles and digital graphics.

These units of memory\, or engrams\, are poetic portals through which we time travel\, gaining hindsight and foresight\, more meaning and greater wisdom\, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets\, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\n\nIn an era of iPhones\, Macbooks\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, everything that’s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original … every day of every year\, every meal of every trip\, every postcard destination. With constant 24/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives\, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \n\nIn Digital Engrams\, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound\, video\, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen\, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \n\nRuiz’s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, IH Arts Curator\n\nAbout the artist:\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media\, including sculpture\, video\, painting\, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials\, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico\, Ruiz’s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under\, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions\, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\n\nOne of L.A.’s rising young talents\, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022\, part of the museum's Outburst project.\n\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities. This exhibition is part of LSA's fall 2023 Art & Resistance theme semester.* UID:110231-21824625@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/110231 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Theme Semester,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Through collaborations with her immediate community\, and also using herself as a subject\, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian\, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time\, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.\n\nLee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\n\nIn Lee’s photographic exploration\, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative\, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.\n\nBy reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were\, but how she experienced them\, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation\, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.\n\nThrough Lee’s lens\, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish\, conflict and distress have left their imprints\, sometimes visible\, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

DESCRIPTION:Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance\, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology\, robotics\, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women\, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves. \nTrained as an engineer and an artist\, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex\, layered\, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving\, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood\, technology\, female bodies\, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to\, and alternative to\, patriarchal\, capitalist\, production-based\, and seemingly rational\, useful\, logical systems. \n“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” 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.\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

To attain this ambitious goal\, it is imperative to maximize the information extracted from this data. Nevertheless\, we face two pivotal challenges in achieving optimal cosmological analyses: the development of precise theoretical models within the non-linear regime and the creation of innovative computational techniques to overcome the computational bottlenecks inherent in conventional simulation methods. During this presentation\, I will introduce a cutting-edge machine learning (ML) approach tailored to the construction of a deep learning emulator at the field level for cosmological simulations. I will illustrate how the deep learning methodology provides a highly accurate alternative to conventional techniques by directly translating non-standard cosmological simulations\, including those involving neutrinos\, from standard simulations. This approach holds the potential to generate precise predictions for cosmological fields across a spectrum of input parameters\, streamlining the exploration of non standard cosmological scenarios while significantly enhancing efficiency.\n\nIn the latter part of the talk\, I will also discuss the exciting potential of utilizing deep learning-based approaches to model the connection between the underlying dark matter distributions from N-body simulations and the galaxy distributions derived from full hydrodynamic simulations. This multifaceted approach promises to significantly advance our capabilities in understanding and modeling complex cosmological phenomena.

While many questions about the pandemic remain unanswered\, it is evident that countries like Japan\, Taiwan\, and South Korea outperformed the United States in responding to and controlling the outbreak\, particularly in its early stages. While many factors are implicated\, a comprehensive understanding of this difference requires attention to the variation in common sense and to the meaning systems that ground and organize these contexts. Our goal is both scientific and practical. We identify some common existential questions that emerged during various stages of the pandemic: \"Will it happen to us?\" \"What should I/we do?\" and \"How should I/we live now\,?\" and propose that how people answered these questions and made sense of the pandemic reflects the influence of tacit but foundational models of agency and their associated cognitive\, affective\, and motivational psychological defaults In the United States\, where a predominant model of agency emphasizes the independence of the individual\, these psychological defaults include optimism-uniqueness\; single causes\; high arousal\; influence and control\; personal choice and self-regulation\; and promotion. In Japan\, Taiwan and South Korea\, where a predominant model of agency emphasizes the interdependence of individuals\, these psychological defaults include realism-similarity\, multiple causes\; low arousal\; wait and adjust\; social choice and social regulation\; and prevention. Integrating research from decades of empirical research in social and cultural psychology\, we describe how these cultural defaults operated together\, influencing commonly observed behavioral patterns and decision making throughout the pandemic. Although much more research is necessary in many unexamined contexts of the world\, in the well-researched areas described here\, we suggest how to incorporate a consideration of cultural models and psychological defaults into guidelines for decision making and planning for future crises.\n\nGroup Dynamics Fall 2023 Seminar Series: Psychological Diversity across the Globe\nDo our cultural contexts influence our psychology and behavior — and if so\, how? In this RCGD series\, we delve into the socio-ecological\, histo-cultural\, and economic dynamics shaping the diversity of selfhood and its associated cognitive\, emotional\, and motivational processes. We go beyond the traditional East and West focus to include a wide range of cultural groups. This series will elucidate the implications of psychological diversity across the globe for policies in international relations\, politics\, economics\, business\, immigration\, and other relevant domains.\n\n\nOrganized by Shinobu Kitayama and Catherine Thomas\nAs permissions allow\, seminars from this series are later posted to ISR's YouTube playlist.\n\n\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\nThe series runs Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\n\n\nAbout the Group Dynamics Seminar Series\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent seminars have included discussions in “Law and Psychology\,” “Racism and Discrimination\,” “Social Media\,” and “Political Polarization.” The series is offered by the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD)\, at the Institute for Social Research.

Particularly important observables are the one- and multi-point distributions of its analogue of the fundamental solution\, which has featured in much of its recent study. However\, in spite of significant recent progress relying on explicit formulas\, a sharp understanding of its upper tail behaviour has remained out of reach. In this talk we will discuss a geometric approach\, related to the tangent method introduced by Colomo-Sportiello and rigorously implemented by Aggarwal for the six-vertex model. The approach utilizes a Gibbs resampling property of the KPZ equation and yields a sharp understanding for a large class of initial data. This is joint work with Shirshendu Ganguly. Time permitting\, we will also highlight forthcoming work with Ganguly and Lingfu Zhang developing these techniques to obtain the scaling limit of the path measure in the associated model of the continuum directed random polymer (CDRP) (as well as in the zero temperature analogue of the directed landscape)\, under the conditioning of large point-to-point free energy. The zero temperature case establishes a conjecture of Liu and Wang.

Our band of passionate former English Majors is delighted to launch a banned book series beginning with “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood\, a novel about womanhood and patriarchy set in the totalitarian Republic of Gilead\, a state in the former United States of America that forces women to serve as concubines for the country’s elite.\n\nThe event will unfold online as a mini-lecture with Professor Supriya Nair\, a specialist in Women’s Studies\, and a discussion moderated by Lynette Clemetson\, director of Wallace House Center for Journalists at the University of Michigan.

Were you aware that the more education you receive\, the longer you might live? And yet\, education is not equal\, effectively sending swaths of ourpopulation to an earlier death. If you find that to be unfair\, please join us to hear from Dr. Abdul El-Sayed on how we can promote health equity by improving education access and quality.

Ocie Elliott is the musical duo of Jon Middleton and Sierra Lundy from Victoria\, B.C.\, Canada. You can hear their memories\, experiences\, and emotions in the dusty acoustic guitars\, the sparse production\, and their graceful harmonies. The two have come a long way in a short time since a chance encounter in a café led to a spark\, collaboration\, and their ultimate partnership in music and beyond. Ocie Elliott’s debut album\, “We Fall In” (Nettwerk Music Group)\, led to appearances with the likes of Mason Jennings\, Sons of the East\, Kim Churchill\, Roo Panes\, Current Swell and Joseph\, tours of Canada\, the U.S.\, and Europe\, and having their song “Run To You” featured on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Sierra and Jon have cultivated a fast-growing following by releasing a captivating series of live acoustic videos on Facebook recorded in the cozy confines of the couple’s Honda CR-V (which\, Sierra explains\, offers “organically well-rounded and self-contained” acoustics that lend an intimacy to their intricate harmonies). The novel approach has paid off\, with a million streams of their most popular tracks on Spotify and Apple Music\, as well as sold-out shows. With gentle acoustic chords layered over gorgeously complementary voices\, which intertwine in gentle harmonies\, Sierra and Jon’s beautifully written songs explore\, of all things\, love and connection. The duo has been aptly described by one reviewer as “the aural equivalent of indigo painted skies and the first summer stars.\" Ocie Elliott comes to Michigan with a new EP\, “What Remains\,” a batch of honest and heartfelt anthems of which Sierra says\, “Since we’ve been through so much\, all of these songs are so powerful to us. They’re simple\, but they hold so much truth. I hope it translates to people.”\n\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4003/4004 for more detail.

Modernist Glass from the Polish Past DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass)\, the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.\n\nLearn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM\n\nThe exhibit opens on September 15\, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War DESCRIPTION:*Presented in association with UMS*.\n\nIn Guardian Passage\, artists Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova employ the tools and imagery of traditional Ukrainian art forms to face down the existential threat brought about by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Bondarenko’s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko’s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war\; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats\, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova’s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage\, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline\, red thread connects these projects\, weaving through clay and fabric\, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on “Arts and Resistance.”\n\nIrina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist\, a native of Ukraine\, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan. Irina has been with the University of Michigan Biostatistics Department for more than 20 years. and published over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Along with her career at the School of Public Health\, for the last 10 years Irina has been pursuing her interest in ceramics. Her work was featured in over a dozen national shows\, the 24th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition\, and the “Strictly Functional Pottery National Show” in 2021 and 2022\, and\, most recently\, the Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum.\n\nArtist website: https://www.ibondceramics.com/\n\nKatya Lisova is an artist\, designer\, and art historian. Born in Kyiv\, she is a graduate of the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk (2009) and the National Academy of Cultural and Artistic Leaders (2018). Since 2019 she has been teaching at the Kyiv State Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk. Her work is in the field of artistic textiles and digital graphics.

Nour Ballout’s practice grapples with the ways looking can manifest as both resistance and violence while negotiating the tensions among visibility\, documentation and surveillance. Through photography\, archive and space making\, their work interrogates the ways the naturalization of structures of power manifest within bodies\, built environments\, and communities.\n\nNour currently serves on the Detroit Institute of Arts contemporary arts advisory group.

These units of memory\, or engrams\, are poetic portals through which we time travel\, gaining hindsight and foresight\, more meaning and greater wisdom\, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets\, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\n\nIn an era of iPhones\, Macbooks\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, everything that’s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original … every day of every year\, every meal of every trip\, every postcard destination. With constant 24/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives\, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \n\nIn Digital Engrams\, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound\, video\, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen\, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \n\nRuiz’s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, IH Arts Curator\n\nAbout the artist:\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media\, including sculpture\, video\, painting\, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials\, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico\, Ruiz’s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under\, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions\, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\n\nOne of L.A.’s rising young talents\, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022\, part of the museum's Outburst project.\n\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

Through collaborations with her immediate community\, and also using herself as a subject\, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian\, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time\, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.\n\nLee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\n\nIn Lee’s photographic exploration\, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative\, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.\n\nBy reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were\, but how she experienced them\, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation\, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.\n\nThrough Lee’s lens\, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish\, conflict and distress have left their imprints\, sometimes visible\, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

DESCRIPTION:Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance\, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology\, robotics\, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women\, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves. \nTrained as an engineer and an artist\, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex\, layered\, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving\, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood\, technology\, female bodies\, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to\, and alternative to\, patriarchal\, capitalist\, production-based\, and seemingly rational\, useful\, logical systems. \n“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” 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.\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

The 2023 Respond/Resist/Rethink exhibition will include art of a variety of mediums and will be displayed in four galleries across all three U‑M campuses\, including Stamps Gallery (Central Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Duderstadt Center Gallery (North Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Riverbank Arts (Flint)\, and Stamelos Gallery (Dearborn).\n\nThe arts play a central role in shaping cultural and political narratives. Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one’s personal politics\, an artwork’s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary. Respond/​Resist/​Rethink invites students to leverage their creativity to (re)imagine what they can do to create a more just and equitable community in the spaces that they inhabit.\n\nNote: The Duderstadt Center will close slightly earlier\, on Dec 1.\nDuderstadt Center Gallery Hours: Noon-6pm Tues-Fri\, Noon-6pm Sunday UID:114465-21832929@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114465 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery, Room 1019 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231103T131955 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231114T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231114T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Winter 2024 Pre-Health Pathway: Charting Your Course Together DESCRIPTION:Pre-health students are welcome to this in-person event where Pre-Health Advisors will be available to give direct assistance for course registration specifically for the pre-health pathway for the winter 2024 semester.

Several hypotheses seek to explain investment in diverse chemical defenses both within and among species\, including the Latitudinal Biotic Interactions Hypothesis (LBIH). The LBIH posits that the higher strength and frequency of biotic interactions towards the equator should select for investment in traits which mediate these interactions (e.g.\, plant defense)\, yet empirical tests show inconsistent patterns of defense investment across latitude. My dissertation will leverage advanced tools to fill in major research gaps in tests of the LBIH including defense tradeoffs\, analytical variation\, and insect defense\, and stands to improve our understanding of chemical ecology at multiple scales.

We refer to this conjecture as the Poisson summation conjecture. The Poisson summation conjecture implies the functional equation and meromorphic continuation for fairly general Langlands $L$-functions\, which by the converse theorem\, implies Langlands functoriality in great generality. In collaboration with Jayce Getz\, Chun-Hsien Hsu and Spencer Leslie\, we constructed a family of period integrals using certain spherical varieties related to Braverman-Kazhdan spaces\, which are holomorphic multiples of the triple product $L$-function in a domain that nontrivially intersects the critical strip. If time permits\, I'll also talk about some current progress towards the analytic properties by introducing a family of Whittaker inductions to the picture.

In this problem\, a firm is endowed with a finite amount of inventory\, and faces a random demand that is dependent on the offered price and the covariates (from products\, customers\, or both). Any unsatisfied demand that exceeds the inventory level is lost and unobservable. The firm does not know the demand function but has access to an offline dataset consisting of quadruplets of historical covariates\, inventory\, price\, and potentially censored sales quantity. Our objective is to use the offline dataset to find the optimal feature-based pricing rule so as to maximize the expected profit. Through the lens of causal inference\, we propose a novel data-driven algorithm that is motivated by survival analysis and doubly robust estimation. We derive a finite sample regret bound to justify the proposed offline learning algorithm and prove its robustness. Extensive numerical experiments demonstrate the robust performance of our proposed algorithm in accurately estimating optimal prices on both training and testing data. Furthermore\, these experiments highlight the value of considering demand censoring in the context of feature-based pricing. \n\nPresenter Bio:\nJingwen Tang a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor advised by Professor Cong Shi. Her research interests lie broadly in learning algorithms and data-driven optimization. Specific topics include sequential decision-making under uncertainty and online and offline learning algorithms\, especially their applications in supply chain management and revenue management.

Currently\, there is ongoing intense activity to develop and understand this new family of magnetic materials\, as well as to create new ones. The success of these efforts relies simultaneously on advances in theory\, material synthesis\, and development of new\, sensitive metrology tools capable of evaluating the key material properties at the unprecedented length scale. Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers\, optically active atomic spin defects in diamond\, are naturally relevant in this context due to their excellent quantum coherence\, highly competitive spatial and field sensitivity\, and remarkable functionalities over a broad range of experimental conditions. In this talk\, I will present our recent work on using NV centers to perform nanoscale quantum sensing and imaging of 2D magnetic quantum matter. Specifically\, we have utilized NV centers to visualize the exotic spin properties of layered\, topological magnetic materials [1\, 2] and moiré magnetism hosted by twisted van der Waals magnets [3]\, revealing the rich physics underlying exotic spin transport and dynamic behaviors in reduced dimensionality. Lastly\, I will also briefly discuss our ongoing efforts on exploring next-generation van der Waals quantum sensing technologies using color centers beyond NVs [4].\n\nReferences:\n1. N. J.

Drawing on the experiences of and photographs by a generation of young Jewish photographers many of whom belonged to the New York Photo League\, Walkers in the City offers a new perspective on New York as seen through their eyes—a cityscape of working-class people and democratizing public transit. With their cameras\, they pictured Gotham’s abrasive social milieu and its evanescent textures and light\, creating an archive of vernacular images of city life and a distinctive tradition of street photography that would be widely imitated.\n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR:\nDeborah Dash Moore is a Frederick G. L. Huetwell Professor of History and Professor of Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. An historian of American Jews\, she specializes in twentieth century urban history. Her new book\, Walkers in the City: Jewish Street Photographers of Mid-Century New York (2023) extends her interest in urban Jewish history to photography. Currently\, she serves as editor in chief of The Posen Library of Jewish Culture and Civilization\, a ten-volume anthology of original sources translated into English from the biblical period to 2005\, selected by leading scholars.

Our lab focuses on developing therapeutics that derive from mechanistic analysis of anaerobic enzymes. Two of our projects are based on the iron-sulfur cluster enzymes Viperin and MqnE. Viperin\, an acronym derived from the enzymes conspicuous properties (virus-inhibitory protein\, endoplasmic reticulum-associated\, interferon inducible)\, is an interferon inducible protein found in all higher eukaryotes that inhibits the replication of a remarkable range of both RNA and DNA viruses. We recently discovered that viperin converts the ribonucleotide CTP to a novel compound 3ʹ-deoxy-3′\,4ʹ-didehydro-CTP (ddhCTP) through a radical-based mechanism. Interestingly\, bacterial\, fungal\, and archaeal viperin-like enzymes are divergent in substrate specificity\, producing alternative ddh-nucleotide triphosphate (ddhNTP) products (i.e. ddhUTP\, ddhGTP). Our recent studies understanding the mechanism by which viperin and viperin-like enzymes catalyze this reaction and the structural basis for their divergent nucleotide specificity will be the focus of Part 1 of my talk. Part 2 will focus on the enzyme MqnE from Helicobacter pylori\, which is involved in menaquinone (MK) biosynthesis. MK is a soluble lipid cofactor needed for the respiratory chain in all anaerobic bacteria. MK can be synthesized by two pathways: the canonical pathway and the futalosine pathway. Fortunately\, the futalosine pathway is only found in a narrow set of bacteria—including Helicobacter pylori—which are not normally found in the human digestive track\, making this pathway an attractive target for the development of narrow spectrum antibiotics. Our research has focused on understanding the catalytic mechanism of this central enzyme and development of inhibitors against it\, employing a combination of traditional enzymology\, structural biology\, and drug discovery.

This webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, the joining information will be sent to your email.\n\nRegister at: http://myumi.ch/m7zDE\n\nWho made K-pop dance? All K-pop idols used to be students of someone - idol trainers\, studio teachers\, choreographers\, former backup dancers\, and retired idols whose names are forgotten under the spectacular stage. The talk focuses on Dr. Chuyun Oh's new book on K-pop dance education (forthcoming) based on ethnographic interviews and fieldwork with K-pop industry professionals and teachers\, as well as students from Dr. Oh's first K-pop dance university curriculum. K-pop dance is a microcosm of Korean society that values politeness\, collaboration\, and hard work\, reflected by a synchronous group dance that prioritizes a group identity and perfectionism over an individual. With the rise of prodigy dancers and international schools\, K-pop is growing into a field of international performing arts education. This research is funded by the Academy of Korean Studies and Seed Grants by SDSU Research Foundation in 2023.\n \n Dr. Chuyun Oh (Ph.D. UT Austin) is a Fulbright scholar and Associate Professor of Dance Theory at San Diego State University. As a pioneer of K-pop dance studies\, she is the CEO of Oniz Lab (http://www.onizlab.com/About)\, which issues \"K-pop Creator Certificates\" registered under a national policy research institute in Korea. Her book K-pop Dance: Fandoming Yourself on Social Media (Routledge) became the #1 Amazon New Release in Communications and Pop Dance in July 2022. Her award-winning scholarship on pop dance and performance activism has appeared in over 50 global media\, top-tier journals\, and anthologies. During her early career as a professional dancer\, she received ballet training at the Kirov Academy of Ballet\, Washington\, DC.\, and the Sun Hwa Arts School\, Korea\, and performed worldwide\, receiving international modern dance competition awards. After receiving her PhD in Performance Studies at UT Austin\, she worked as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Hamilton College\, NY.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

For example\, students or instructors might be subject to identity-based microaggressions which communicate hostile\, derogatory\, or negative messages about a marginalized group. These moments can heighten emotion in the classroom (fear\, anxiety\, guilt\, resentment\, etc.) and can have a negative impact on classroom climate and student learning\, especially if they go unaddressed. How can instructors become more aware of when these moments are occuring? What are some pedagogical choices that are available in these moments? And how can these moments become opportunities to advance student learning? In this interactive workshop\, participants will reflect upon their own experiences with such moments and practice applying concrete strategies for achieving their goals in the classroom even when these difficult moments occur. If you are planning on attending\, then as a first step in this reflection process\, please take a look at this two-question survey (see link) and share any questions about this topic that you would like to see addressed in this workshop.

After spending 20+ years as a higher education administrator (at Columbia University\, UC Berkeley and Mills College etc.) in diversity\, equity\, and inclusion and LGBTQA work\, lea landed a leading role in Lena Waithe’s Twenties and Amazon hit series A League of Their Own! In Twenties\, lea played Reverend Ty Harmon\, a non-binary religious Ygure and in A League of Their Own\, lea plays Bertie Hart\, a Black transmasculine\, nonbinary-identified person living in the 1940s. Both of these roles sparked national conversations about the histories of trans people in the US\, the invisibility of certain identities within certain communities and the value of representation in the industry.

She is also\, she says\, “a vocalist\, an electric guitarist\, a songwriter and composer\, an arranger\, a conductor\, a performer and recording artist\, a teacher\, and above all\, a student and a catalyst for change.” She classifies her songs as Neo-Soul Art Music\, “but I play across a variety of genres including classical\, jazz\, blues\, R&B\, funk\, hip hop\, bluegrass\, and pop. I also consider much of the music I write and arrange to be protest music — a genre that I believe is crucial to our survival as a species and that I will continue to draw attention to throughout my musical journey.”\n\nAnn Arbor alternative soul artist Dani Darling Dani Darling made her media debut in 1984—as one of a set of triplets born in Ann Arbor. She sang with her sisters as a girl\, and later did stints in a reggae band and in the hip-hop collective The Black Opera. But\, she told the Metro Times\, she wasn't sure hip-hop was the right direction for her: \"I was like\, who am I? So I was trying to figure it out. I'm more of an acoustic artist\, you know. I write with my guitar\, I have a big background in\, like\, old movie musicals and jazz. My favorite vocalist is Ella Fitzgerald\, and Thom Yorke is one of my biggest inspirations.\" A new sound came together\, featuring classic influences like R&B and jazz as well as new sounds like lo-fi and chillwave\, all fused in her own original songs that often have a cosmic tinge. \n\nVoices is a series of artist-cultivated concerts at The Ark conceived and created by Ann Arbor musician Kyler Wilkins\, AKA vocal looping artist Ki5. The series seeks to expand the representation of Michigan BIPOC artists and audiences at The Ark.\n\nEach show\, intentional time will be taken to get to know each artist in the form of brief interviews and musical breaks to have them speak about their journey as musicians and performers with the hope that people in the audience are more connected to and inspired by those voices.\n\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4404/4405 for more detail.

Modernist Glass from the Polish Past DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass)\, the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.\n\nLearn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM\n\nThe exhibit opens on September 15\, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War DESCRIPTION:*Presented in association with UMS*.\n\nIn Guardian Passage\, artists Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova employ the tools and imagery of traditional Ukrainian art forms to face down the existential threat brought about by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Bondarenko’s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko’s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war\; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats\, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova’s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage\, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline\, red thread connects these projects\, weaving through clay and fabric\, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on “Arts and Resistance.”\n\nIrina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist\, a native of Ukraine\, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan. Irina has been with the University of Michigan Biostatistics Department for more than 20 years. and published over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Along with her career at the School of Public Health\, for the last 10 years Irina has been pursuing her interest in ceramics. Her work was featured in over a dozen national shows\, the 24th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition\, and the “Strictly Functional Pottery National Show” in 2021 and 2022\, and\, most recently\, the Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum.\n\nArtist website: https://www.ibondceramics.com/\n\nKatya Lisova is an artist\, designer\, and art historian. Born in Kyiv\, she is a graduate of the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk (2009) and the National Academy of Cultural and Artistic Leaders (2018). Since 2019 she has been teaching at the Kyiv State Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk. Her work is in the field of artistic textiles and digital graphics.

These units of memory\, or engrams\, are poetic portals through which we time travel\, gaining hindsight and foresight\, more meaning and greater wisdom\, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets\, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\n\nIn an era of iPhones\, Macbooks\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, everything that’s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original … every day of every year\, every meal of every trip\, every postcard destination. With constant 24/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives\, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \n\nIn Digital Engrams\, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound\, video\, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen\, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \n\nRuiz’s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, IH Arts Curator\n\nAbout the artist:\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media\, including sculpture\, video\, painting\, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials\, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico\, Ruiz’s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under\, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions\, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\n\nOne of L.A.’s rising young talents\, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022\, part of the museum's Outburst project.\n\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

Through collaborations with her immediate community\, and also using herself as a subject\, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian\, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time\, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.\n\nLee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\n\nIn Lee’s photographic exploration\, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative\, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.\n\nBy reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were\, but how she experienced them\, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation\, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.\n\nThrough Lee’s lens\, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish\, conflict and distress have left their imprints\, sometimes visible\, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

DESCRIPTION:Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance\, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology\, robotics\, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women\, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves. \nTrained as an engineer and an artist\, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex\, layered\, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving\, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood\, technology\, female bodies\, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to\, and alternative to\, patriarchal\, capitalist\, production-based\, and seemingly rational\, useful\, logical systems. \n“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” 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.\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

This can be made precise for supersymmetric (BPS) black holes in Anti de-Sitter space\, where the AdS/CFT correspondence may be used to reliably count black hole microstates. We will review this proposal for 4d superconformal field theories dual to AdS5 black holes and explain the challenges in characterizing these microstates directly in terms of gravitational variables. Surprisingly\, a gravitational path integral calculation predicts certain universal features of the spectrum\, including a large number of exactly degenerate states and a \"mass gap\" between the BPS and non-BPS states.\n\nIf BPS black holes are described by ordinary quantum systems\, we should be able to act with operators which probe the microstates. We find one such probe is a certain generalization of the supersymmetric Wilson line in 4d N=4 SYM\; holographically dual to a D-brane which wraps the horizon\, and further demonstrate a matching of these descriptions when the spacetime description is valid. In addition to detecting the familiar deconfinement transition in conformal gauge theories\, this provides an example of a system in which a black hole interacts with other degrees of freedom but has an exact microscopic description.

All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, or Flint U-M campuses in Fall 2023 are invited to apply to this juried exhibition that explores what can be done to create more just and equitable futures in the 21st Century and beyond.\n The 2023 exhibition will include art of a variety of mediums and will be displayed in four galleries across all three U-M campuses\, including Stamps Gallery (Central Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Duderstadt Center Gallery (North Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Riverbank Arts (Flint)\, and Stamelos Gallery (Dearborn). \nThe arts play a central role in shaping cultural and political narratives. Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change by offering alternate models and ways of thinking\, making and creating that do not perpetuate dominant regimes. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one'\;s personal politics\, an artwork'\;s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary. \nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink invites students to leverage their creativity to (re)imagine what they can do to create a more just and equitable community in the spaces that they inhabit.\nThroughout the spring\, summer\, and fall of 2023\, U-M students submitted artworks through an open call process. A final list of artworks were chosen for the exhibition by a Selection Committee made up of U-M faculty\, staff\, and students. \n\nThe 2023 RRR Selection Committee members are: \nPedram Baldari\, Jim Cogswell\, Laura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Adrienne Frank\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Quinn Hunter\, Ikalanni Jahi\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, Kathi Reister\, Chloe Schans\, and Grace Sirman. \nThe 2023 RRR Curatorial Committee members are: \nLaura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Kathi Reister. \nThe 2023 RRR Organizing Committee members are: Chris Audain\, Adrienne Frank\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Joe Rohrer.

The exhibition examines the Amistad Dam in Del Rio\, the largest dam in Rio Grande that is jointly managed by the United States and Mexico and other contested sites in the region to unravel layered histories\, connections\, and tensions present in West Texas through film\, sculpture\, installation\, collage\, and drawing. \nThe experimental documentary film Teaching of the Hands is the center point of the exhibition - as it combines oral histories\, reenactments\, and archival footage to narrate a complex history of colonization\, migration\, and ecological precarity\, Told from the perspective of Juan Mancias\, Chairman of the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas\, scenes from the present day are woven together with those from 4\,000 years in the past to investigate the transformation of Somi Se’k* by way of industry\, infrastructure\, and private property. \nEmerging from the research to create the film\, the exhibition includes an immersive installation of surveying flags and tools\, series of drawings and collages\, and a collection of original watercolors from the 1930s by artists and amateur archaeologists Forrest and Lula Kirkland that depict the ancient rock art of the Lower Pecos\,that expand on concepts in The Teachings of the Hands. The watercolors\, rarely seen plein air paintings\, are on loan from the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory at the University of Texas\, and document the original forms and vibrant colors of murals that were still visible in the 1930s before flooding\, erosion\, and human interaction damaged or destroyed them. This exhibition has been shown in various iterations at Ballroom Marfa\, the University of Texas at Austin\, the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts\, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and will be shown in Michigan and the midwest for the first time. The Blessings of the Mystery brings together an expansive body of work that sheds light on vital histories\, living memories and Indigenous knowledge-systems embedded within the land well before the colonial boundaries between Mexico and the US were established - advocating for environmental justice and recognition of Indigenous rights and cosmologies.

To See and Write Vietnam: Polish Socialist Travelogues and Documentary Photography DESCRIPTION:Literature and documentary photography on decolonization and the postcolonial period played an essential role in forging global socialist connections\, a sense of connectivity\, and in shaping grassroots imaginaries of socialist anti-colonialism. These discursive moorings brought closer to the audiences in Eastern Europe the far-away conflicts and developments that came with decolonization and life amid war in Southeast Asia. As part of the then-newly established political contacts between Poland and Vietnam\, Polish professionals were delegated to Vietnam\, leading to a series of books\, memoirs\, and reportages covering the situation on the ground in Vietnam. In my talk I will analyze the largely forgotten travelogues and documentary photographs that were published in state-socialist Poland by journalists and diplomats who had spent time in Vietnam amid and\, subsequently\, after unification. This material underlines how literary works and documentary photography dealing with cultural and societal transformation have the power to reveal\, obscure\, and construct the perception of national liberation struggles. \nRather than negatively casting the work by Monika Warneńska and Jerzy Chociłowski as mere socialist propaganda or treating it as “purely” documentary\, my talk will unpack how the postcolonial period—especially after the Second Indochina War—was narrated and understood in these publications and photographs. Vacillating between different genres and political commitments\, the travelogues and documentary photography point to shifting boundaries of strongly context-dependent knowledge production. Chronicling prolonged wartime violence and hardship as well as the challenges that came with postcolonial restructuring and social upheaval\, this discursive production around the war and post-war period in Vietnam used the power of literary narrative to humanize and translate to another context the experience of a seemingly perennial war without victimizing Vietnamese society. \nThe talk will also address how literary and visual representations and misrepresentations contribute to or undermine global socialist awareness of decolonization and postcolonialism—whether in line with or against the intentions of the authors and their political sponsors. Merging empathy and political rationale\, the travelogues and documentary photographs I discuss warrant asking: Were these overtly political yet empathetic accounts immune to an Orientalizing gaze and framing? Does the empathy towards war-torn Vietnamese society\, seemingly based in an ideal of socialist brotherhood\, suffice as a tool for self-validation and motivation? How exactly did the Vietnamese version of the story come to matter in these representations?\n\nThục Linh Nguyễn Vũ is a German Kennedy Memorial Fellow at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES) at Harvard University and a postdoctoral fellow at the Research Center for the History of Transformations (RECET) at the University of Vienna. Linh is a cultural historian with a strong interest in interdisciplinary approaches. She is currently working on two books manuscripts: one on the cultural history of everyday life and of political mobilization in a dissident milieu in socialist Poland\, and a second one on contacts between Poland and Vietnam after 1955. Linh has published in *Cahiers du Monde Russe\, East European Politics and Society\,* and *History Workshop Journal\,* as well as in non-scholarly outlets such as TAZ and krytykapolityczna.pl.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

To answer this question\, Daumler uses the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) to estimate the total difference in net worth between two cohorts of American adults who started accumulating wealth in the 1980s and the 2000s\, respectively. Using a decomposition approach that he developed\, Daumler estimates the role of population changes to fertility\, marriage\, and racial/ethnic inequalities. He concludes by estimating how much of these historical changes are driven by differences in the accumulation of housing wealth and other components of family wealth.

The Lopez-Escobar theorem says that a class of countable structures is isomorphism-invariant & Borel iff it's axiomatizable by an Lω1ω-sentence. What about ≅-equivariant Borel maps? These correspond to \"Lω1ω-interpretations\"\, which can be thought of as recipes for constructing different types of structures from each other. We'll discuss the space of infinitary theories ordered by interpretability. Then we'll describe the notion of 'structurability'\, through which we can see that many constructions in the theory of countable Borel equivalence relations (CBERs) are naturally phrased in terms of interpretations. Time permitting\, we'll describe a close correspondence between the set of theories (ordered by interpretability) and the set of CBERs (ordered by class-bijective Borel homomorphisms).

However\, significant technical challenges must be overcome to reach the year-long operation timescales required for a power plant. This talk will focus on the leading concept\, the tokamak\, and look at next steps needed for 1) production and control of a sustained fusion plasma\, 2) development of materials that can withstand the extreme fusion environment\, and 3) harnessing fusion power. Sophisticated integrated modeling tools are enabling tightly coupled plasma\, nuclear\, and engineering predictive modeling of the fusion core\, first wall\, blanket\, magnets\, etc. Such ‘virtual test beds’ aim to shorten development time and guide design decisions to quickly arrive at innovative solutions that maximize the probability of meeting Fusion Pilot Plant (FPP) goals and enable optimization to impact commercial viability and timely delivery of fusion power.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nCami Collins is a plasma physicist and section head in the Fusion Energy Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory\, where she is working to find a solution to create and sustain a burning plasma needed for an economical fusion energy pilot plant. Her specific research is in the experimental development of steady-state tokamak scenarios\, and in applying integrated physics and engineering computational tools for design and assessment of fusion reactors. Cami received her Ph.D. in 2013 from the U. of Wisconsin Madison\, where she received an American Physical Society Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Award for her work in laboratory plasma astrophysics. She completed a postdoc through the University of California Irvine at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility\, became a staff scientist at General Atomics in 2016 specializing in spectroscopy diagnostics and energetic particle physics\, and joined ORNL in 2020. Driven by a long-time passion for the success of fusion energy\, she has served in multiple fusion outreach and strategic planning activities\, including the APS-DPP Community Planning Process and the U.S. ITER Research Program.\n\nDr. Collins won the MIPSE Early Career Award 2023.

With the DEHVILS sample\, one of the largest uniform NIR samples\, we check three key systematics: the reduction in Hubble residual scatter as compared to the optical\; the measurement of a ‘mass step’ or lack thereof and its implications\; and the ability to distinguish between various dust models by analyzing correlations between Hubble residuals in the NIR and optical. We produce accurate simulations of the DEHVILS sample and find that\, contrary to assumptions in the literature\, it is harder to differentiate between various dust models than previously understood\, and it is unclear how standard SNe Ia truly are in the NIR.

On the other hand\, we are usually not interested in all the microscopic details of the entanglement pattern but only some of its global features. It turns out\, quantum circuits of different levels of complexity provide a useful way to establish a hierarchy among many-body entanglement structures. A circuit of a finite depth generates only short range entanglement which is in the same gapped phase as an unentangled product state. A linear depth circuit on the other hand can lead to chaos beyond thermal equilibrium. In this talk\, we discuss how to reach the interesting regime in between that contains nontrivial gapped orders. This is achieved using the Sequential Quantum Circuit — a circuit of linear depth but with each layer acting only on one subregion in the system. We discuss how the Sequential Quantum Circuit can be used to generate nontrivial gapped states with long range correlation or long range entanglement\, perform renormalization group transformation in foliated fracton order\, and create defect excitations inside the bulk of a higher dimensional topological state.

But within a class\, we sometimes want more fine-grained information. This is where numerical invariants come into play! In this talk\, we will discuss both the F-signature\, which measures \"how\" strongly F-regular a ring is\, and the (relative) F-rational signature\, which measures \"how\" F-rational a ring is. We will go over their key nice properties\, and do a comparison of the two definitions.\n\nThis is the second in a series of two talks.

The striking similarity between sequences of the high-altitude adaptation gene EPAS1 in Denisovans and modern Tibetans suggested adaptive introgression. However\, the time and geographic ranges where the adaptive introgression happened remain unknown. This talk consists of three studies that are related to archaic adaptive introgression. First\, I show that the ancestors of Tibetans experienced two pulses of Denisovan introgression\, and the positive selection on EPAS1 did not start until after the Last Glacial Maximum. Second\, I show that most commonly-used statistical methods for detecting adaptive introgression fail to consider a confounder from recessive deleterious mutations on the genome\, which can inflate their false positive rates especially in conserved genomic regions with low recombination rates. Lastly\, I introduce MaLAdapt – a machine learning method for detecting genome-wide adaptive introgression\, which reveals novel knowledge of how genomic variants from archaic humans facilitated modern human adaptations in worldwide populations.\n\nShort Bio:\n\nDr. Xinjun Zhang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Michigan\, and an affiliated faculty member at CCMB and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.

Once you’ve registered\, the joining information will be sent to your email.\n \n Register at: https://myumi.ch/zwA6Z\n \n Historically\, disability studies is anchored to the humanities\, which generates a tremendous volume of discourse on disability through activism and advocacy\, creative practice\, and justice-informed frameworks. However\, within the academy and society at large\, perceptions\, perspectives\, and approaches to disability are more volatile. Physicians tend to understand disability as a therapeutic object to be diagnosed\, ameliorated\, and cured. Engineers engage disability as a problem to be solved through technical means. Artists and designers work through disability to motivate a range of creative practices. Architects and urbanists leverage disability narratives around mobility and accessibility but often fail to accede to the demands of disabled people in terms of equity and inclusion in public life. Everyone appears well-intentioned but often intention becomes oppressive\, pathologizing\, and isolating. A civil understanding of human rights remains contested.This panel is convening as a form of repair across disciplinary divides\; in order\, hopefully\, to foster greater connection and\, perhaps empathy in the process of our collective work.\n \n Crystal Lee is an assistant professor in computational media and design at MIT with a joint appointment in the Schwarzman College of Computing and Comparative Media Studies / Writing.

This paper presents empirical and theoretical evidence linking this decline to the spread of electricity. Using data on early electrification efforts\, I empirically disentangle the two channels linking electrification and fertility: the introduction of time-saving appliances that reduce the time needed for child-rearing\; and the rise in female wages which raises the opportunity cost of childcare. I then use these empirical estimates to calibrate a model that features both channels and quantifies the aggregate impact of electrification on fertility. I find that electrification explains 4.6% of the overall fertility decline in 1900-1940 in the US\, and that the opportunity cost channel is preponderant in explaining this response by allowing young childless women to benefit from the labor market gains of electricity.

It is based on an algorithm which we call deep empirical risk minimization developed by E\, Han & Jentzen. Their approach applies generally to many stochastic optimal control problems. In the presence of free boundaries\, it has to be modified to account for training based on hitting times. In this talk\, I outline how this is achieved for the classical problems of optimal stopping or the obstacle problem\, and for the Stefan problem for the water-ice interfaces. For the Stefan problem\, we use the recent stochastic representations\, the notion of physical probabilistic solutions\, and level-sets parameterized by deep neural networks on the numerical side.

A decade later\, living in political exile in Germany\, he still performed to sold-out audiences in Europe. That changed on August 7\, 1992\, when he was found brutally murdered in his apartment in Bonn. Neighbors said his dogs had been barking for two nights.\n\nThe murder\, still unsolved\, serves as the starting point for this new work by British-Iranian theater maker Javaad Alipoor\, whose The Believers Are But Brothers was featured in the 2020 No Safety Net theater festival. Selected as one of The Guardian’s Top Theatre Shows of 2022\, Things Hidden “gleefully mashes up genres\, smashing together the quiet authority of the murder mystery podcast\, the intimacy of autobiographical storytelling\, and the visual spectacle of multimedia performance — while simultaneously deconstructing each of these forms.” (The Guardian) UID:109627-21822422@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/109627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Ann Arbor,Art,artists,artists and curators,arts,Culture,Digital Culture,History,Human Rights,Humanities,In Person,Interdisciplinary,International,Mindfulness,multicultural,performance,social justice,Storytelling,theater,UMS,university musical society LOCATION:Pierpont Commons - Arthur Miller Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231115T180004 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231115T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231115T213000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Bujinkan Budo Training Session DESCRIPTION:During the Fall 2023 semester\, Bujinkan Budo Club training will be held on Wednesdays from 20:00 - 21:30 (8-9:30pm) at the Intramural Sports Building (IMSB) in Room MPR B.

From wide channels of dynamic\, emotional arrangements to somber barroom ballads and anthemic battle cries\, Delta 88’s music blazes a trail through the Americana wilderness. The band has four studio albums under their belt\, with the most recent featuring production by Grammy Award-winning musician and producer Joe Henry. Delta 88’s music has been heard on stages throughout the U.S.\, Canada\, and Europe with the likes of bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley\, country star Emmylou Harris\, and singer-songwriter Buddy Miller\, among others. It’s been a while since we’ve had this durable Michigan band at The Ark\, so come and see what they’ve been up to musically!\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4257/4258 for more detail.
