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.

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.

From its inception\, the U-M Herbarium has cataloged and described plants—both poisonous and beneficial to human health—and still serves that role today. See specimens of these plant and fungal “friends” and “foes” from the U-M Herbarium collection and learn about how the collection is used for drug discovery today.

In the realm of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids\, form determines function\, so visualizing the three-dimensional structures of molecules is key in researching the ‘tiny’ macromolecules that perform vital functions in our cells. In Biophysics 421\, under the guidance of Markos Koutmos\, Assistant Professor of Biophysics & Chemistry\, and Liz Tidwell\, PhD candidate in Biophysics\, students created models with digital modeling software and brought them to life via 3D printing. This exhibit showcases the 3D printed molecules\, scaled up to better reveal the structures that inform\, make\, break\, modify\, and move within the body.

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.

Each year Mr. B stops in at The Ark for a Thanksgiving weekend concert\, and it always brings something new—this year\, Mr. B is bringing a 10 piece little-big band. He is bringing in musicians from around southeast Michigan and beyond for a boogie and jazz blowout to kick off the holiday season with a big dose of boogie woogie joy.

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.

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.

In the realm of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids\, form determines function\, so visualizing the three-dimensional structures of molecules is key in researching the ‘tiny’ macromolecules that perform vital functions in our cells. In Biophysics 421\, under the guidance of Markos Koutmos\, Assistant Professor of Biophysics & Chemistry\, and Liz Tidwell\, PhD candidate in Biophysics\, students created models with digital modeling software and brought them to life via 3D printing. This exhibit showcases the 3D printed molecules\, scaled up to better reveal the structures that inform\, make\, break\, modify\, and move within the body.

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.

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.

One of the major factors of increasing rates of antibiotic resistance is that most antibiotics target the bacterial ribosome or a limited range of proteins. Due to the narrow range of targets and the relatively small number of antibiotics\, resistance to commonly used treatments arises quickly and can spread across bacterial populations. While there have been efforts to identify new targets for antimicrobial compounds and develop antibiotics with different chemical structures and mechanisms of action\, there continues to be a dearth of innovation in developing truly innovative antibiotic compounds. \n\nIn this thesis\, I discuss efforts to develop a series of tools to aid in the identification of new molecular scaffolds\, small molecules that can be altered to optimize antibacterial effects\, for an underexplored antibiotic target. Specifically\, these methods target bacterial riboswitches\, structured RNA elements that regulate vital biosynthetic pathways by binding a specific small molecule. Riboswitches are present in many bacteria\, including bacteria that pose the greatest risks to human health. Each riboswitch is defined by the specific molecule it binds to\; this dissertation focuses on the flavin mononucleotide riboswitch (FRS) The FRS binds to flavin mononucleotide\, an important cofactor for protein function and a key part of multiple metabolic cycles. Bacteria often use FRS to regulate riboflavin biosynthesis\, which is crucial for cellular growth and energy production. Since the FRS is a regulator for a vital pathway\, identifying molecules with distinct molecular structures that bind to the riboswitch could be optimized into novel antibiotics. \n\nWhile FRS has a wealth of previous characterization and some previously identified binding partners\; however\, none of these candidates have advanced beyond preliminary mouse studies\, far from actual implementation as a drug. We developed Fluorescent Ligand Equilibrium Displacement (FLED)\, a robust\, rapid\, and repeatable method\, to identify molecules capable of interacting with the FRS. This method was applied to large libraries of compounds and their preliminary hits\, investigated using classical biochemical techniques. We also pioneered methods for analyzing RNA using the analytical technology Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry (IM-MS). We utilized it to study both transfer RNAs and FRS. While the previously mentioned methods are versatile tools for screening compound libraries\, they do not account for the high cost of molecule libraries\, nor the limitations inherent to screening vast molecular libraries. We employed two computational screening methods to reduce the number of compounds screened before identifying a new binding partner. These methods\, coupled with FLED\, were used to investigate the predictions and determine if the current setup does increase the rate of compound discovery.\n\nThe results described here support using FLED\, IM-MS\, and computational screening to identify small molecule candidates for development as FMN riboswitch-targeted antibiotics. It also provides preliminary work toward new a method to measure transcription termination of riboswitches. Finally\, discusses the significance of such tools in the path toward antibiotic development.

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.

Sutherland discovered that this bias extends to Dirichlet coefficients of a much broader class of arithmetic L-functions when split by root number.\n In my talk\, I will discuss this root number correlation bias when the average is taken over all weight k modular newforms. I will point to a source of this phenomenon in this case and compute the correlation function exactly.

DESCRIPTION:One of the major questions over a field of mixed characteristics is\, \"Is there a divisor D such that the pair (R\, D) is BCM-regular when R is a splinter?\" Inspired by this\, we introduce compatible systems of divisors on finite covers of R\, which have data of divisors on all finite covers of the ring. With this\, we will define +-test/adjoint ideals for the system of divisors\, and discuss the behavior of the +-test ideals including the inverse of adjunction.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

In the realm of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids\, form determines function\, so visualizing the three-dimensional structures of molecules is key in researching the ‘tiny’ macromolecules that perform vital functions in our cells. In Biophysics 421\, under the guidance of Markos Koutmos\, Assistant Professor of Biophysics & Chemistry\, and Liz Tidwell\, PhD candidate in Biophysics\, students created models with digital modeling software and brought them to life via 3D printing. This exhibit showcases the 3D printed molecules\, scaled up to better reveal the structures that inform\, make\, break\, modify\, and move within the body.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/RpArW.\n\nComputers\, smart phones\, cloud computing and intelligent robots all embody the concept of innovation as embedded in Laozi’s (老子) theories of nature- you (有） and wu (無)\, or\, the Real and Virtual. In this talk\, Dr. Lin explains why the teachings of this sagacious sixth century BCE Chinese philosopher are extremely precious for nurturing scientific innovation - the application of science to create new value or new wealth. He will also highlight Laozi’s concepts of respect\, trust\, and diversity and discuss why all are fundamental to innovation sustainability.\n \n Otto Chui-Chau Lin has been a leading figure in advocating the creation of innovation systems in Taiwan\, Hong Kong\, and China. From 1987-1994\, he served as President of Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI)\, a consortium of applied technology laboratories dedicated to the development of Taiwan's high-tech industry into fields such as semiconductors\, automation\, integrated circuit testing\, optical electronic systems\, consumer electronics\, composite materials\, and specialty chemicals. From 1997-2007\, Lin served as Vice-President for Research and Development at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)\, spearheading the creation of the Nansha IT Park to promote technology development in the Pearl River Delta. After his retirement in 2009\, Lin has continued to lecture\, consult\, and teach\, serving as honorary professor and senior advisor at several universities including Tsinghua (Beijing)\, Shanghai Jiaotong\, Hong Kong Polytech\, and Hong Kong Baptist. He has written four books in Chinese and one in English\, focusing on the connections between soft power\, innovation\, entrepreneurship\, and the philosophies of Laozi and Confucius.

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:114465-21832943@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:20230821T080004 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231128T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231128T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Revealing the Secrets of Metalloenzymes One Snapshot at a Time- Department of Biological Chemistry Martha L.

Stewart\, Audience Resistance\, and Nineteenth-Century African American Oratory DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture by Dr. Laura Mielke from the University of Kansas.\n\nAfrican American public speakers in the nineteenth century countered the white gaze by sharing observations of audiences\, whether majority Black or white\, male or female—or “promiscuous.” Orators including Frederick Douglass\, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper\, Charles Langston\, Henry Highland Garnet\, and Sojourner Truth referred to\, described\, analyzed\, and poeticized audiences\, often beckoning ideal assemblies when actual ones proved resistant. This lecture will consider such rhetorical uses of audience before focusing on the example of Maria W. Stewart (1803-1879)\, who bolstered her ethos by linking contemporary responses to her words with scriptural accounts of the prophets’ reception. Approaching Stewart in the broader context of nineteenth-century Black orators’ innovative interpretations of audience allows a rich understanding of her rhetorical legacy.

A new model is proposed for the underlying physics to be the existence of a van Hove singularity saddle-band dispersion at the Brillouin zone N-point that is only a few meV below the Fermi level\, and thus thermally active at T0. The new model\, based on temperature-dependent angle resolved photoemission (ARPES) measurements in comparison to DMFT electronic structure calculations [1]\, is further confirmed by additional ARPES observation of the N-point spectral and dichroic changes for various chemically doped phases with different ferromagnetic\, antiferromagnetic or non-magnetic ground states.\n\n[1] J.

More precisely\, complex representations of the fundamental group are in correspondence with algebraic vector bundles\, equipped with an extra structure called a Higgs field. This yields a transcendental matching between two very different moduli spaces: the character variety (parametrizing representations of the fundamental group) and the Hitchin moduli space (parametrizing Higgs bundles). In 2010\, de Cataldo\, Hausel\, and Migliorini proposed the P=W conjecture\, which links precisely the topology of the Hitchin integrable system and the Hodge theory of the character variety. I will introduce the conjecture\, review its recent proofs\, and discuss how the geometry hidden behind the P=W phenomenon is connected to other branches of mathematics.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The estimation of distributions of complex objects from high-dimensional data with low-dimensional structures is an important topic in statistics and machine learning. Modern generative modeling techniques accomplish this by encoding and decoding data to generate new\, realistic synthetic data objects\, including images and texts. A key aspect of these models is the extraction of low-dimensional latent features\, assuming the data lies on a low-dimensional manifold. Our study develops a minimax framework for distribution estimation on unknown submanifolds\, incorporating smoothness assumptions on both the target distribution and the manifold. Through the perspective of minimax rates\, we examine some existing popular generative models\, such as variational autoencoders\, generative adversarial networks\, and score-based generative models. By analyzing their theoretical properties\, we characterize their statistical capabilities in implicit distribution estimation and identify certain limitations that could lead to potential improvements.\n\nhttps://sites.google.com/site/yunyangstat/ UID:114908-21833774@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114908 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231213T123113 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231128T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231128T173000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Technical Interview Overview & Case Workshop + Recruiter Q&A DESCRIPTION:During this workshop we will walk through and practice the Technical Interview and a Case-Tech Interview example.

Alternative Narratives: Social Knowledge of Literature in the Post-Yugoslav Cultural Field DESCRIPTION:This year’s Annual Borka Tomljenović Lecture will address Yugoslav socialism in contemporary literature and culture after the collapse of socialism in the broader cultural\, political and economic context of Eastern Europe. Unlike so-called ‘’peaceful revolutions’’ in the rest of Eastern Europe\, the collapse of socialism and the disintegration of Yugoslavia in a tragic war influenced the course of a specific local transition where change of the social system went hand in hand with a thorough and rapid metamorphosis of a new collective identity. A particular ideological treatment of Yugoslavia and socialism in institutional memory and mainstream political discourse continues to hold a prominent place in the process of building a new identity. Parallel to this process\, a large number of literary and cultural texts articulated specific narratives about the recent socialist past. In this talk\, Maša Kolanović will provide insight into various figures and modes of literary and cultural articulations of the specific politics of remembrance\, producing affective tones of nostalgia\, melancholy\, humor\, trauma\, as well as irony and parody\, which are characteristic of the works of Dubravka Ugrešić\, Miljenko Jergović\, Ratko Cvetnić\, Lana Bastašić and others.\n \nMaša Kolanović is an associate professor in the Department of Croatian Studies at the University of Zagreb and a multi-genre writer. Her works include the poetry collection *Pijavice za usamljene (Leeches for the Lonely)*\, the novel *Sloboština Barbie (Underground Barbie)*\, the prose poem *Jamerika*\, and the short story collection *Poštovani kukci i druge jezive price (Dear Pests and Other Chilling Stories)*. Following her monograph *Udarnik! Buntovnik? Potrošač…Hrvatski roman i popularna kultura od socijalizma do tranzicije (Strike! Rebel? Consumer…The Croatian Novel from Socialism to Transition)*\, which she completed in 2011 for her PhD in Croatian language and comparative literature\, she published articles on literature and popular culture. She co-edited the volumes: *Komparativni postsocijalizam: slavenska iskustva (Comparative Post-socialism: Slavic Experiences)*\; *The Cultural Life of Capitalism in Yugoslavia* with D. Jelača and D. Lugarić\; *Povijest\, tekst\, kontekst (History\, Text\, Context)* with L. Molvarec\; and *Ekonomija i književnost (Economy and Literature)* with L. Molvarec and M. Hameršak. Her short story collection *Dear Pests and Other Chilling Stories* received the 2020 European Prize for Literature\, the Pula Book Fair Audience Award\, and the Vladimir Nazor Prize for Literature. Maša Kolanović is a member of Croatian Academy of Science and Art.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

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.

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.

Fehribach Center on Wednesday\, November 29\, at 2pm for a virtual presentation on the Fehribach Center’s internship program for students with physical disabilities. \n\nThe Gregory S. Fehribach Center in Indianapolis hosts an internship program for college students with physical disabilities (mobility\, orthopedic\, visual\, & hearing) in which students are placed in a paid internship in a position that correlates with their academic major. Internships are very important in preparing college students for employment after graduation\, and this is especially true for students with disabilities. A good internship experience gives the student real-world workexperience and important networking opportunities that will help in finding equitable employment after graduation.\n\nTo this point\, 195 students from 40 colleges have participated in a total of 400 internships\, with 63students interning in the summer of 2023. Internships are available for students who just finished their freshman year of college up to graduates within the last calendar year\, and internships can be provided for nearlyall academic majors. Among the 39 employers who have hosted Fehribach Center interns are: Eskenazi Health\, Eli Lilly\, Cummins\, Ice Miller\, BraunAbility\, the Indiana Pacers\, the Indianapolis Children’s Museum\, and Christel House International. In addition to the internship\, housing and transportation assistance is provided as needed\, and impactful professional development opportunities are offered for Fehribach Center interns. \n\nMore information about the Fehribach Center is attached and on the Fehribach Center’s website: https://www.eskenazihealth.edu/programs/Fehribach-Center.

We will first define the notion of a dual polytope and then compute the volume in a concrete example. Then we will give a proof that the dual volume actually gives the canonical form of the original convex polytope. Finally\, we will introduce a more efficient way to compute the dual volume when the polytope has many vertices but few sides\, via the Filliman Duality\, which roughly says the volume of the polytope can be obtained from triangulating its dual.

This endows the cohomology of X with an extra structure\, known as the perverse filtration\, which measures the singularities of the map f. In recent years\, the decomposition theorem and the induced perverse filtration have been found to share surprising connections to other branches of mathematics\; these include non-abelian Hodge theory (the P=W conjecture)\, enumerative geometry (Donaldson-Thomas and BPS invariants)\, planar singularities (DAHA\, knot invariants)\, and hyper-Kähler geometries (Hodge modules\, motivic techniques). In this lecture series\, I will discuss some of these developments. If time permits\, open questions will be presented and discussed.

The problem differs fundamentally from most existing studies due to its time-inconsistent natural and also the continuous state space. Unlike many previous studies on time-inconsistent stopping\, we are interested in the general discount function without imposing any structural conditions such as “decreasing impatience”. As a result\, the study on the relaxed equilibrium becomes necessary as the pure-strategy equilibrium may not exist in general. We use the method of regularization to prove the existence of the relaxed equilibrium\, and at the same time provide approximation results of it. We also establish some connections between the mean-field MDP and the N-agent MDP.

Prof. at Stanford) DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nSingle-cell RNA-seq\, together with RNA velocity and metabolic labeling\, reveals cellular states and transitions at unprecedented resolution. Fully exploiting these data\, however\, requires kinetic models capable of unveiling governing regulatory functions. In the first part of my talk\, I will introduce an analytical framework dynamo (https://github.com/aristoteleo/dynamo-release) and highlight dynamo's power to overcome fundamental limitations of conventional splicing-based RNA velocity analyses to enable accurate velocity estimations on a metabolically labeled human hematopoiesis scRNA-seq dataset. Furthermore\, differential geometry analyses reveal mechanisms driving early megakaryocyte appearance and elucidate asymmetrical regulation within the PU.1-GATA1 circuit. Leveraging the least-action-path method\, dynamo accurately predicts drivers of numerous hematopoietic transitions. Finally\, in silico perturbations predict cell-fate diversions induced by gene perturbations. Dynamo\, thus\, represents an important step in advancing quantitative and predictive theories of cell-state transitions. Cells do not live in a vacuum\, but in a milieu defined by cell–cell communication that can be quantified via recent advances in spatial transcriptomics. In my second section of my talk\, I will talk about Spateo\, a general framework for quantitative spatiotemporal modeling of single-cell resolution spatial transcriptomics. Spateo develops a comprehensive framework of cell-cell interaction to reveal spatial effects of niche factors and cell type-specific ligand-receptor interactions. Furthermore\, Spateo reconstructs 3D models of whole embryos\, and performs 3D morphometric analyses. Lastly\, Spateo introduces the concept of \"morphometric vector field\" of cell migrations and integrates spatial differential geometry to unveil regulatory programs underlying various organogenesis patterns of Drosophila and mouse. Thus\, Spateo enables the study of the ecology of organs at a molecular level in 3D space\, beyond isolated single cells. Moving forward\, my lab will try to integrate advances in machine learning and advances in genomics to learn spatially and temporally resolved models of cell fate transition at whole mouse embryo level in 3D space.\n\nhttps://umich-health.zoom.us/j/93929606089?pwd=SHh6R1FOQm8xMThRemdxTEFMWWpVdz09 UID:115262-21834337@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/115262 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Cardiovascular,Chemistry,Discussion,Education,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Graduate Students,Human Genetics,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Mathematics,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Physics,Precision Health,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231127T112202 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231129T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231129T172000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Who Are the Hand-to-Mouth? DESCRIPTION:Many households hold little wealth. In standard precautionary savings models these households should not only display higher marginal propensities to consume (MPCs)\, but also higher future consumption growth. In contrast\, we see from the PSID that such “hand-to-mouth” households do not display higher growth in spending. They also exhibit greater volatility of spending and adjust their spending to a greater extent through the number of categories consumed. Consistent with a role for preference heterogeneity\, the panel data show that it is persistent differences across households\, not current assets\, that predict low consumption growth and other spending differences for the hand-to-mouth households. To identify the extent of preference heterogeneity\, we consider the model of Kaplan and Violante (2014) with both liquid and illiquid assets\, but allow heterogeneity in preferences. To match the data\, many poor hand-to-mouth must be relatively impatient and have a high inter-temporal elasticity of substitution (IES). The model shows that preferences predominantly explain the higher MPCs for low-asset households. Preference heterogeneity notably increases the spending impact of fiscal transfers\, but only if targeted\, while reducing that from interest rate cuts.\n\n\nThis talk is presented by the Macroeconomics Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Michael Beauregard Fund for Macroeconomics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

Laura will be joined in conversation by Dr. Brianne Dotson.\n\nAbout the Book: Can a group of well-intentioned people fulfill the promise of racial integration in America?\n\nIn this searing and intimate examination of the ideals and realities of racial integration\, award-winning Washington Post journalist Laura Meckler tells the story of a decades-long pursuit in Shaker Heights\, Ohio\, and uncovers the roadblocks that have threatened progress time and again--in housing\, in education\, and in the promise of shared community.\n\nIn the late 1950s\, Shaker Heights began groundbreaking work that would make it a national model for housing integration. And beginning in the seventies\, it was known as a crown jewel in the national move to racially integrate schools. The school district built a reputation for academic excellence and diversity\, serving as a model for how white and Black Americans can thrive together. Meckler--herself a product of Shaker Heights--takes a deeper look into the place that shaped her\, investigating its complicated history and its ongoing challenges in order to untangle myth from truth. She confronts an enduring\, and troubling\, question--if Shaker Heights has worked so hard at racial equity\, why does a racial academic achievement gap persist?\n\nIn telling the stories of the Shakerites who have built and lived in this community\, Meckler asks: What will it take to fulfill the promise of racial integration in America? What compromises are people of all races willing to make? What does success look like\, and has Shaker achieved it? The result is a complex and masterfully reported portrait of a place that\, while never perfect\, has achieved more than most and a road map for communities that seek to do the same.\n\nLaura Meckler (she/her/hers) is national education writer for the Washington Post\, where she covers education across the country as well as national education policy and politics. She previously reported on the White House\, presidential politics\, immigration\, and health care for the Wall Street Journal\, as well as health and social policy for the Associated Press. Her honors include a Nieman Fellowship and Livingston Award for National Reporting\, and she was part of a team that won the George Polk Award for Justice Reporting. She lives in Washington\, D.C.\, with her husband and two sons.\n\nDr. Brianne Dotson (she/her/hers) is the mother of two confident\, creative\, and inquisitive little girls who attend Ann Arbor Public Schools. She also serves as a Sr. Program Associate at WestEd\, a national nonpartisan research and service agency\, where she specializes in equity-focused systems change for state departments of education and school districts. Prior to WestEd\, Brianne served as an English language arts teacher\, elementary school principal\, and a director at the University of Michigan. Dr. Dotson holds an Ed.D. from Michigan State University\, an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education\, and a B.A. from the University of Southern California.

But there’s more to this Michigan musician than that. Ever wonder what “Red-Haired Boy” would sound like with a James Brown type of groove? Or what about songs titled “Muppets On The Titanic” or “You Make My Skin Crawl”? The Don Julin Trio\, featuring Joe Wilson (dobro) and Kevin Gills (bass)\, takes listeners through a genre-bending instrumental journey that includes hints of bluegrass\, jazz\, Latin\, funk\, film score\, and even a bit of baby boomer rock. The Don Julin Trio includes three of Michigan’s top sidemen. The job of a sideman is to make the “star” look and sound great\; these guys have helped many local and national “stars” and bands look and sound great. A short list includes Steppin’ In It\, Claudia Schmidt\, Greg Brown\, Billy Strings\, Wayne Hancock\, Neptune Quartet\, Wilson Brothers\, Rusty Blaides\, Bill Kirchen\, Kenny Olson\, and others. In this setting\, they can shine the light on each other\, showcasing their musical compositions and instrumental abilities.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4386/4387 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.

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.

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.

This has led institutions with collections of ancient Egyptian art and artifacts to revisit the ways in which they classify\, interpret\, and display their collections. These shifts in museum practice have revealed many competing interests\, exposing the complex ways in which inclusion\, identity\, and ownership are deeply intertwined. I witnessed these competing interests first-hand this summer during my MSP internship when a new exhibition highlighting the influence of ancient Egypt and Nubia in contemporary black music debuted at the Dutch National Museum of Antiquity in Leiden\, the Netherlands.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss this and other curatorial and institutional case studies that reflect current trends and the complicated discourses developing from them. Additionally\, I will consider the future of these movements and how they may affect museum practices.

To protect and restore them\, we need a clear understanding of exactly where they are\, where they were\, and where they could be in the future. A team led by the National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs) recently completed an ambitious effort to map estuarine habitat in and around the 30 NERRs. They used a powerful combination of NOAA resources for elevation and tidal datums to map the reach of tides\, historical topographic sheets generated by NOAA’s predecessor agency to map past habitat distributions\, and compared this to mapping from USFWS’s National Wetland Inventory (NWI).\n\nElevation-based mapping revealed that estuary extent is greater than currently mapped in NWI. At more than two-thirds of the Reserves\, the team detected tidal forests missed by NWI. Comparison of historical maps to NWI revealed dramatically greater loss of tidal wetland extent on the Pacific coast than in other regions. The results of this investigation suggest that multiple mapping methods complement each other and should be integrated to provide a more accurate understanding of estuaries—past\, present and future.

Gorman\, Ph.D. is a Professor in Human Systems Engineering and Deputy Director of the Center for Human Artificial Intelligence and Robot Teaming (CHART) at Arizona State University and Senior Research Personnel with the NSF Institute for Student-AI Teaming at the University of Colorado. Dr. Gorman’s research focuses on dynamical systems and computational models of team coordination. His research is conducted in complex sociotechnical environments\, including medical\, space\, military\, educational\, and sports settings\, focusing on building generalizable models\, metrics\, and measurement systems. Dr. Gorman’s research has been funded by DoD\, NSF\, and industry partners. He is a member of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and serves on the editorial boards of Human Factors and the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied.\n\nAbstract: Human-autonomy teams operating in dynamic (“perturbed”) environments primarily interact across human and machine elements. However\, most measurements are subjective\, involving observer ratings and survey responses (e.g.\, trust\; influence\; autonomy)\, and there is a need for theoretically grounded\, objective\, and metrics of real-time human-machine coordination states. This talk presents generalizable objective measurement systems for measuring the dynamic spread of trust and distrust through influence\, quantifying team resilience to automation and autonomy failures\, and AI-supported collaborative learning in K -12 education. The practical deployment of measurement frameworks in dashboards and machine learning agents will be discussed.

This endows the cohomology of X with an extra structure\, known as the perverse filtration\, which measures the singularities of the map f. In recent years\, the decomposition theorem and the induced perverse filtration have been found to share surprising connections to other branches of mathematics\; these include non-abelian Hodge theory (the P=W conjecture)\, enumerative geometry (Donaldson-Thomas and BPS invariants)\, planar singularities (DAHA\, knot invariants)\, and hyper-Kähler geometries (Hodge modules\, motivic techniques). In this lecture series\, I will discuss some of these developments. If time permits\, open questions will be presented and discussed.

In this interactive workshop\, we'll cover laying the foundation for your scholarly literature review and then taking that first critical step towards composition. We'll crowdsource tips for generating a source list\, organizing it as you go\, and starting to extract themes and ideas for section headings from your reading library. We'll also cover the basics of structure to reduce the barrier for writing your first sections. Whether you're halfway through or just starting out\, you'll have a chance to take the next step on organizing\, defining your purpose\, or revising your argumentation. This presentation will focus on reviews in the sciences\, but concepts are generalizable to all literature reviews.\n\nPresented by Jimmy Brancho\, Sweetland Center for Writing\n\nRackham / Sweetland Workshops\, co-sponsored by the Rackham Graduate School\, cover a host of topics designed to help graduate students in various aspects of writing.\n\nRegister at https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/69728 UID:112391-21828864@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/112391 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate,Graduate School,Graduate Students,Rackham,Writing LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - East Conference Room, 4th floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231121T140212 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T162000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department of Astronomy 2023-2024 Colloquium Series Presents: DESCRIPTION:\"Stirring the ISM with clustered feedback\"\n\nStar clusters are the result of extreme star formation. In these dense stellar systems\, the energy\, mass and radiation released by the massive stars is correlated in space and time\, and this clustered feedback regulates the baryonic lifecycle of their host galaxies. However\, current modern simulations of galaxy formation lack this critical effect on the evolution of galaxies. In this talk\, I will present a novel method to model the influence of individual star clusters on their host galaxy within the hydrodynamical code GIZMO. By employing sink particles that are able to accrete gas\, form stars and merge with one another\, I can represent stellar clusters built via gas accretion and in-situ star formation\, and hierarchical merging. I will demonstrate that this prescription leads to molecular clouds being shorter lived due to more destructive feedback\, and I will discuss what physics are required to reproduce the formation of star cluster populations in this scenario.

Since he first appeared in 1919’s The Curse of Capistrano\, this heroic Latino character has been righting wrongs in a romanticized nineteenth-century Los Angeles. Anthony Mora asks what we can make of Zorro’s popularity in a nation with such a long history of anti-Latine sentiment. Returning to Zorro’s origin story offers us a quirky view into the contradictory impulses that shaped popular understandings about the United States’ Mexican past and its Mexican present. \n\nAnthony Mora's principal research interests focus on the historical construction of race\, gender\, and sexuality in the US Southwest. His book Border Dilemmas explores how the first generations of Mexicans living in the United States grappled with the racial and national ideologies that circulated along the nineteenth-century border. He is currently writing a history of the fictional character of Zorro from 1919 to the present. The iconic character serves as a means of tracing changing representations of Mexican Americans\, historical memory\, and US regionalism.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

In this talk\, I will discuss the application of Floquet engineering for inducing novel non-equilibrium phases of matter in steady states of time-periodically driven semiconductors. The steady states are achieved due to the interplay between the coherent external drive\, electron-electron interactions\, and dissipative processes arising from the coupling to phonons and the electromagnetic environment. I will show that despite the highly non-equilibrium nature of these systems\, by judicially choosing the properties of the material\, the external drive\, and the environments\, their steady states can exhibit topological transport\, metal-to-insulator phase transitions and even strongly correlated phases such as a novel electronic liquid gyro-crystalline phase.

IVDs are complex\, heterogeneous structures that are prone to cumulative damage overtime due to a limited regenerative capacity. The accrual of IVD injuries leads to IVD degeneration\, which is associated with debilitating back pain. Successful healing of connective tissue injuries relies on temporally regulated immune cells that rapidly infiltrate damaged tissues and initiate regenerative cascades. These immune cells migrate into injured tissues and function as critical mediators of tissue regeneration and healing. However\, the identity of these immune cell subtypes\, their temporal coordination\, and their effect on the IVD healing response after acute injury remain understudied. The objective of this study is to prevent IVD degeneration by defining the role of infiltrating immune cells during the acute stages of IVD repair. The importance of immune cells in facilitating healing has been well characterized in many musculoskeletal (MSK) tissues\, such as bone and muscle\, where T lymphocytes have been shown to be critical mediators of repair\, but their role in IVD healing is unknown. Preliminary data show an important regulation of Cd3+ T cells in the IVD healing response that varies with sex where 12 week C57BL6 female mice with recurring waves of T cell infiltration during the acute IVD repair stages show less degenerative changes post injury than aged matched males. Therefore\, the hypothesis is that Cd3+T cells are essential for IVD healing in female mice. These studies will offer a targeted approach to modulate IVD repair by elucidating the sex-related differences in the types and temporal regulation of key immune cell subtypes important during IVD healing.\n\nBio:\n\nDr. Sade Clayton is a Burroughs Wellcome Fund PDEP and Rita Levi- Montalcini Post-Doctoral Fellow in Regenerative Medicine in her third year of her training at Washington University in St. Louis in the Orthopaedic Surgery department. Her PhD thesis work was conducted in the Cell\, Developmental and Integrative Biology department at the University of Alabama at Birmingham with Rosa Serra. There\, she identified a novel signaling pathway utilized by TGFβ during spinal column formation with an emphasis on spinal fibrous tissue development in mouse and chick embryo models. Her postdoctoral work in the labs of Simon Tang and Lori Setton aims to determine the function of the immune system in the development and repair of the intervertebral discs of the spine using RNA transcriptomics\, microscopy\, and flow cytometry in mouse and humans.\n\nZoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/99085426766 UID:115357-21834565@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/115357 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building - 1311 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240123T080713 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T210000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Breakfast for Dinner DESCRIPTION:Come join us for everyone's favorite dinner party!

This live playback through malfunction is reminiscent of sound artist and composer Annea Lockwood’s *Piano Transplants* (1968- ) series where the piano has the capacity to continue sounding without the presence of a human performer as the natural elements transform its materiality\, functionality\, and the physicality of its sound. \n\nVisual and sonic references to idyllic nature\, a cottagecore aesthetic\, and representations of the mediated musicality of her sound are abundant across Taylor Swift’s *folklore* and *evermore* album releases\, including the audiovisual settings for her music videos\, the paramusical imagery of her official lyric videos\, and the stagecraft of her live performances. This talk examines three audiovisual events as eco-sonic media to address the entangled ecological meanings encoded in Swift’s musical and paramusical expression in one of her most recent “eras”: The sound design of *folklore* and *evermore*\, including Swift’s duet with Justin Vernon on “exile\,” the woodland stagecraft and worldbuilding of the televised 63rd Grammys performance\, and the rewilded moss-covered piano and gothic nature of The Eras Tour *folklore* and *evermore* sets. This talk takes Swift’s work as a cue to develop novel approaches to listening for and interpreting sonic environments in mediated spaces.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER\n\nKATE GALLOWAY is Assistant Professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Her in-progress monograph *Remix\, Reuse\, Recycle: Music\, Media Technologies\, and Remediating the Environment* examines how and why contemporary artists remix and recycle sounds\, music\, and texts encoded with environmental knowledge. Her work is published in *American Music*\, *The Soundtrack*\, *Ethnomusicology*\, *MUSICultures*\, *Tourist Studies*\, *Sound Studies*\, *Feminist Media Histories*\, *Popular Music*\, and *Twentieth-Century Music*\, among other venues. She has co-edited two special journal issues (*American Music* and *Twentieth-Century Music*) with K. E. Goldschmitt and Paula Harper that address the creative and social phenomena of internet music communities and practices of listening to the internet. Galloway is also co-editor of two forthcoming collections: *Music and Sonic Environments in Video Games: Listening to and Playing Ludic Soundscapes* with Elizabeth Hambleton and *Taylor Swift: The Star\, The Songs\, The Fans* with Christa Bentley and Paula Harper. \n\n*This program is organized by the Department of Musicology at the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.* UID:113870-21831843@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/113870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Free,Lecture,Music,Research,Scholarship,Talk LOCATION:Burton Memorial Tower CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231130T162030 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UM EMS Club November Mass Meeting DESCRIPTION: UID:115538-21834969@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/115538 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Michigan League 3rd floor Koessler Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231215T183114 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T183000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:2024 Backcountry Trails Program information session DESCRIPTION:Do you seek adventure and challenge in a spectacular outdoor environment while getting paid and kickstarting your career?

Trained in urban planning and ceramics\, his artistic practice translates the intricacies of Blackness through space theory and land development\, sculpture\, and performance. Through the expansiveness of his approach as a thinker\, maker\, and builder\, he extends the role of the artist as an agent of change. His performance practice and visual work find roots in Black knowledge\, objects\, history\, and archives. His work focuses on the possibility of the “life within things” and redeems spaces that have been left behind. He is the founder of the Rebuild Foundation\, an artist-led\, community-based platform for art\, cultural development\, and neighborhood transformation whose mission is to demonstrate the impact of innovative\, ambitious and entrepreneurial cultural initiatives enriched by three core values: Black people matter\, Black spaces matter\, and Black objects matter.\nGates will be speaking as part of the Arts &\; Resistance Theme Semester\, which features the exhibition Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield\, South Carolina\, currently on view at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA). This landmark exhibition includes more than 60 objects representing the work of African American potters in the decades surrounding the Civil War as well as several contemporary works from leading Black artists\, including Gates\, whose work connects the past to the present. The exhibition is a reckoning with the central role that enslaved and free Black potters played in the long-standing stoneware traditions of Edgefield\, South Carolina. It is also an important story about the unrelenting power of artistic expression and creativity\, even while under the brutal conditions of slavery. Hear Me Now highlights the joy\, struggle\, creative ambition\, and lived experience of African Americans in the 19th-century American South.\nGates’ presentation also serves as the kick off to a day-long convening on the issues raised by the exhibition. Organized in partnership with exhibition co-curator and U-M Professor of History\, Jason Young\, the convening will take place on Friday\, December 1\, at UMMA: find complete details at umma.umich.edu.\nGates has exhibited and performed at Biennale Architettura 2023\, Venice\, Italy (2023)\; Fondazione Prada\, Venice\, Italy (2023)\; The New Museum\, New York\, (2022)\; The Aichi Triennial\, Tokoname (2022)\; The Serpentine Pavilion\, London (2022)\; The Victoria and Albert Museum\, London\, UK (2021)\; Whitechapel Gallery\, London\, UK (2013 and 2021)\; Tate Liverpool\, UK (2020)\; Haus der Kunst\, Munich (2020)\; Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis (2019)\; Palais de Tokyo\, Paris\, France\; Sprengel Museum Hannover\, Germany (2018)\; Kunstmuseum Basel\, Switzerland (2018)\; National Gallery of Art\, Washington D.C.\, USA (2017)\; Art Gallery of Ontario\, Canada (2016)\; Fondazione Prada\, Milan\, Italy (2016)\; Whitechapel Gallery\, London\, UK (2013)\; Punta della Dogana\, Venice\, Italy (2013) and dOCUMENTA (13)\, Kassel\, Germany (2012).

Sourced from photos submitted by Bangladeshi Michiganders\, these intricate portraits capture the immigration and settlement journeys of multiple generations of Bangladeshi Americans. The art is further contextualized through oral history interviews conducted by Haque\, and documents the growth and evolution of this vibrant community.The exhibit is free and open to the public at the Shapiro Library Gallery Clark Commons (3rd Floor) from November 30th - December 20th\, 2023. An opening reception with food\, conversation\, and community will be held on November 30th from 6-8pm. \nAbout the ArtistFatema Haque (she/her) is a Bangladeshi American writer\, educator\, and fiber artist based in Michigan. A self-taught fiber artist\, Haque’s art celebrates the legacies of the Bangladeshi diaspora: those who immigrate\, those who don’t\, and the memories they carry with them wherever they go. Each intricate portrait requires anywhere from 30-100 hours of work\, is done entirely by hand\, typically on fabric she naturally dyed with plants and food scraps. She is inspired by the artistic legacies and resourcefulness of her aunts and grandmothers\, who created hand-embroidered goods that were never formally recognized as art. Through her art\, she aims to document the memories of her people. \n\n\n UID:113227-21830581@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/113227 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Shapiro Library Gallery, Clark Commons (3rd Floor), 919 S.

Brace yourselves for a Jersey-fied twist on the operatic classic as we transport *Gianni Schicchi* from the cobblestone streets of 13th-century Florence to the sun-soaked shores of 2005 New Jersey! Picture this: a tale of money\, greed\, and the eternal clash between the old guard and the new wave\, all set against the backdrop of big hair\, bigger attitudes\, and the inescapable allure of the Jersey shore. \n\nGianni Schicchi\, the real Florentine legend plucked straight from Dante's *Inferno*\, is reborn in a high-spirited satire that's part cunning deceit\, part operatic rollercoaster. Get ready for a libretto that's more Sopranos than Puccini\, as we explore the timeless themes of wealth\, family\, and the pursuit of that elusive American Dream. \n\nAnd who could forget the show-stopping aria \"O mio babbino caro\,\" a powerhouse performance that'll leave you breathless and reaching for those gelato-scented tissues. Join us for a night of operatic mayhem where tradition meets modernity\, and where New Jersey's own Gianni Schicchi proves that even in the Garden State\, the drama is as grand as the arias!

She speaks no lines and is probably a typo. \n\nIn Aditi Kapil’s *Imogen Says Nothing*\, Imogen is a woman in Elizabethan England whose life is changed by the opportunity to appear in a performance of *Much Ado About Nothing* – an opportunity reserved solely for men. Imogen appears on stage as a woman playing a man playing a woman. To make matters more complicated\, Imogen is also a bear. \n\nA revisionist comedy in verse and prose\, this feminist hijacking of Shakespeare investigates the voices that have long been absent from the theatrical canon\, and the consequences of cutting them. \n\n*Imogen Says Nothing* premiered on January 20\, 2017\, at the Yale Repertory Theatre\, which also commissioned the play\, in New Haven\, Connecticut.\n\nWritten by Aditi Kapil\nDirected by Malcolm Tulip\n\nFUN FACTS: Aditi Kapil took the title from a piece of dialogue in *Much Ado About Nothing*. Beatrice\, when describing Benedick\, says\, “The one is too like an image and says nothing.” \n\nAditi Kapil discusses the development of Imogen at Yale here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUZc0lWwiqI UID:108267-21819194@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/108267 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Comedy,Culture,Diversity,In Person,Social Impact,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231130T180012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T203000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Swing Ann Arbor Swing II: November Swingout Bootcamp DESCRIPTION:WHAT: It’s back again for a second month! 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:114110-21832358@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114110 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Mason Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231130T011135 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T210000 SUMMARY:Performance:Vadim Monastyrski\, piano DESCRIPTION:Vadim Monastyrski\, visiting professor of music with the Department of Piano\, performs a recital.

Clay drew inspiration from their personal “unfinished business” and literature from the 1960s counterculture in making the work. \n\nInspired by the photography of Justine Kurland titled “Girl Pictures”\, Claire Schick’s\, *Sisters I Never Had*\, depicts a cast rebelling\, playing\, and lavishing in each other's company within nature. Schick’s solo\, *The Ballad of Big Trees*\, is in honor of Henry Cowell State Redwood Park in Santa Cruz\, California\, which holds a special place in Claire’s family and life.\n\nThis concert will be performed Thursday\, November 30 through Saturday\, December 2\, 2023.

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.

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.

Moving across cities\, countries and continents\, family and friends are left behind\, and it is increasingly difficult to build a support network. This situation can be particularly taxing on demographic groups that are underrepresented in science. Drawing from personal experience as a female scientist and mother of an infant\, I will explain some situations in which being an international scholar has fostered my career\, and some in which it has hindered it. In a round-table style\, I will put forward some questions in the hope that it leads to a discussion about fostering positive work environments that minimize the alienating feeling of changing institutions.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Analyses of police misconduct rely heavily on self-reported law-enforcement data that suffers from unobserved confounding\, mismeasurement\, and selection issues. I first show how these challenges have led to distortions in prior policing research\, including a high-profile retraction. Next\, I demonstrate how nonparametric sharp bounds can help researchers address these challenges without relying on implausible\, often implicit assumptions. I introduce an algorithm for obtaining such bounds for any structured discrete system and essentially any estimand\, assumptions\, and arbitrarily incomplete dataset(s)—flexibly accommodating the wide variety of oversight tasks and data environments across America's 18\,000 law enforcement agencies. The algorithm outputs a fail-to-reject region capturing both fundamental lack of identification as well as sampling uncertainty. Finally\, I propose an approach for targeting future data collection under budget constraints to optimally narrow the expected fail-to-reject region.\nhttp://www.dcknox.com/ UID:114910-21833776@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114910 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231120T094853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231201T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231201T120000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Dissertation Defense-Iman Samani DESCRIPTION:This dissertation explores innovative strategies for solving linear variable-coefficient wave propagation problems in one and\nmultiple dimensions.

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.

The DRC is a challenging place for physics education. The poor quality of primary and secondary education along with chronic poverty and insecurity means that students are often ill prepared for university physics. However\, there is still a need for qualified STEM practitioners to solve the many technical challenges of a growing society. The experience of teaching in the DRC has changed me forever. In this seminar\, I will share with you some of the challenges I faced and the rewards I received by seizing this unique opportunity.

Understanding molecular mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis and the innate immune response is critical for identifying new antimicrobial therapeutic approaches. My lab is interested in characterizing the underlying determinants of metal homeostasis with an eye toward creating new antimicrobial agents. One-third of the proteome is predicted to comprise metalloproteins. Metals are essential for all forms of life as they serve as enzymatic cofactors\, structural stabilizers and chemical messengers. However\, high concentrations of metals are toxic. Thus\, maintenance of metal homeostasis is essential at the host-pathogen interface. For example\, S100A12 is a high affinity transition metal binding protein that starves invading pathogens and prevents them from acquiring essential zinc\, in a process termed nutritional immunity. I will present recent results from my lab that sugges t zinc binding to S100A12 potentiates oligomerization and is associated with activation of inflammation through the receptor for advanced glycation end products. The importance of zinc regulation is also highlighted in the pathogenesis of the human pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae\, one of the primary causes of adverse pregnancy outcomes. CadD\, a metal efflux transporter is essential for S. agalactiae to resist zinc intoxication by macrophages\, thereby facilitating ascending infection in a pregnant host. Together\, these data demonstrate the importance of understanding metal homeostasis and provide potential pathways to overcoming antibiotic resistance.

The exhibit aims to show how the people of our nation's past tried to answer those questions\n\nExhibit Hours: Monday - Friday - Noon - 4 pm\n\nLink to online exhibit:https://clements.umich.edu/exhibit/the-art-of-resistance/ UID:115674-21835227@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/115674 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:american culture,american history,Free,history,In Person,libraries,Library,Tour,Undergraduate,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:William Clements Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231116T091824 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231201T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231201T150000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:With this hand I strum the harp of your soul DESCRIPTION:Friday\, December 1\n12 - 3PM\nHatcher Graduate Library\n100H\, Gallery\nConversation: 12 - 1PM\nReception and exhibit: 1 - 3PM\n\nThe late Cuban book artist Rolando Estévez would have turned 70 years old on December 1\, 2023. Estévez traveled to Ann Arbor several times during his life to meet with and teach students\, deliver lectures\, and collaborate on artistic and intellectual projects with his close friend\, Distinguished Anthropology Professor and author\, Ruth Behar. \n\nThanks to Behar’s dedicated efforts to build a bridge between Estévez and the University of Michigan\, our Special Collections serves as the home for many of Estévez’s artists’ books\, including several one-of-a-kind works of art. To celebrate the work of Estévez and the memory of his presence at Michigan\, Behar dreamed up the idea of a poetic and artistic tribute to which all are welcome.\n\nBehar has invited author Richard Blanco\, who recited his poem\, “One Today\,” at President Barack Obama’s 2012 inauguration\, to the university to join her in conversation about Estévez’s poetry and handmade books. Jamie Lausch Vander Broek\, Librarian for Art & Design\, will moderate. \n\nA reception featuring Cuban pastelitos de guayaba and live music will follow with examples from Estévez’s prolific and boundary-breaking career on display.\n\n---------------\nThis event is part of the ARTS & RESISTANCE Fall 2023 LSA Theme Semester.

During migration\, cells display complex behavior\, adjusting both their division rate and their growth after division to the local mechanical environment. Experimental observations show that cells near the edge of the expanding monolayer are larger and move faster than cells deep inside the colony. To explain these observations and describe cell migration patterns\, we formulate a spatio-temporal theoretical model for multicellular dynamics in terms of the cell area distribution\; the model includes cell growth after division and effective pressure. Numerical simulations of the model predict both the speed of invasion and the width of the outer proliferative rim\; these predictions are in a good agreement with experimental observations. Theoretical analysis yields the equation for density of cells and reveals a novel type of propagating front with compact support. The velocity of front propagation (monolayer expansion) is obtained analytically and its dependence on all the relevant parameters is determined.

To perceive is to enter into relationships with the things we see. Indeed\, for reasons that I will try to articulate\, it is to enter into something like a loving relationship with them. The love-like character of perceiving has been been by-and-large ignored by philosophers and cognitive scientists\, but acknowledging it allows for new insight into some of the hardest problems about perception that there are. In this talk I will focus on one class of these having to do with perceptual indeterminacy. This talk\, which is work in progress\, is part of a larger project to explore the ways in which “ordinary” perception is ethically and aesthetically demanding. I draw on ideas from earlier work on perception (e.g. Action in Perception\, MIT\, 2004 and Varieties of Presence\, HUP\, 2012)\, as well as on my newest book The Entanglement (published this past summer by Princeton). I hope this talk will be of interest to students and colleagues working in a wide array of different philosophical areas as well as to scholars in different fields.

Working at leading order in perturbative interactions\, we prove that the quantum n-Tsallis entropy of a subsystem never decreases\, provided that subsystem is initialized as a statistical mixture of states of equal probability. This is true for any choice of interactions and any initialization of the complementary subsystem. When this condition on the initial state is violated\, it is always possible to explicitly construct a \"Maxwell's demon'' process that decreases the subsystem entropy. Remarkably\, for the case of particle scattering\, the circuit diagrams corresponding to n-Tsallis entropy are the same as the on-shell diagrams that have appeared in the modern scattering amplitudes program\, and the entropy growth is intimately related to the nonnegativity of cross-sections.

As such\, scholars across disciplines have been devoted to investigating how race and ethnicity feature in every aspect of social and political life. The purpose of I-REP (Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race\, Ethnicity and Politics) is to provide a space for scholars whose research centers race\, ethnicity and politics across a number of fields to receive critical feedback on the early stages of their work (especially graduate students)\, build community with other researchers who share similar interests and offer an opportunity for participants to collaborate on a joint research project within the working group.

Over the last 20+ years\, however\, it has become apparent that mammals began diversifying much earlier\, in the Mesozoic\, and the major lineages that characterize mammalian faunas in the aftermath of the K-Pg mass extinction began their ecological ascendency beginning in the Cretaceous. Nonetheless\, because placental mammals are the most abundant and diverse extant mammals\, there is a still an assumption that they must have evolved key behavioral and life-history traits that allowed them to diversify up to the present day (the ‘placental-mammal paradigm’). Further\, the earlier adaptive radiation of mammals in the Cretaceous has been nearly universally ascribed to the rise of angiosperms (flowering plants)\, with mammals simply tracking the emerging ecospaces new plant groups facilitated (the ‘Cretaceous-angiosperm paradigm’). In this talk\, I challenge the ‘placental-mammal’ and ‘Cretaceous-angiosperm’ paradigms. \n\nMy first vignette will highlight my research on multituberculate mammals\, demonstrating how this oft-considered ‘archaic’ lineage shows evidence of being as behaviorally and reproductively ‘advanced’ as extant small-bodied placental mammals. My second vignette will highlight recent work exploring the role that tectonism may have played in stimulating the Cretaceous diversification of mammals and other terrestrial lineages. I will then outline ongoing field-based projects and new results that aim to test\, and lend support to\, that hypothesis. Collectively\, these projects underscore a need for challenging expectations in the realm of early mammalian paleontology\, building upon first principles\, and re-focusing our attention on field- and specimen-based science.

A question attributed to Babillot concerns whether every horospherically invariant measure arises from such a correspondence. In this talk\, I will survey previous works where affirmative answers to this question were found and present a new result extending it to a broad class of subgroups in rank one Lie groups. This is joint work with Or Landesberg\, Elon Lindenstrauss\, and Hee Oh.

Reflexives interact with the argument structure and can saturate A-positions across languages (Faltz 2016\, Büring 2005). However\, it is also cross-linguistic common for the same anaphors in some languages also mark a relation that does not alter the argument structure while still maintaining a co-referential relationship with an argument (Dechaume & Wiltschko 2017 i.a.)\, also known as an emphatic marker (e.g. “I tied my shoelaces myself.”). Using data from both spoken and signed languages\, this talk presents an analysis of both the event and information structural role of anaphors\, and why the functions go together. \n\n\nYu-Chuan Lucy Chiang\nPhD Candidate - Department of Linguistics \n\nTitle: Acquisition of light verb syntax by Mandarin Bilinguals \n\nAbstract: This talk discusses the acquisition of the syntax of so-called light verb constructions in Mandarin by adult English-Mandarin heritage bilinguals and adult L2 Mandarinspeakers. Light verbs contribute limited semantic content in the verb phrases they form with dependent nouns in Mandarin (Huang 2015\; Lin 2014). Questions arise as to how the verb phrase da dianhua ‘(tele)phone/call (someone)’ can be formed in parallel to the lexical meaning ‘hit (the) telephone’. Some syntactic structures can be used to distinguish the two meanings\, such as passives and topicalization. Since these structures involve complex syntax and semantics properties\, the acquisition of light verbs raises some interesting questions about bilinguals. An online acceptability judgment experiment via PCIbex was conducted to address such questions. Based on the results\, Mandarin-English bilinguals’ judgments on light verbs showed distinct patterns\, suggesting that the grammar of Mandarin light verbs differs among the three groups of speakers.\n\nThis event will be hybrid\, as well as zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/91857099548.

This endows the cohomology of X with an extra structure\, known as the perverse filtration\, which measures the singularities of the map f. In recent years\, the decomposition theorem and the induced perverse filtration have been found to share surprising connections to other branches of mathematics\; these include non-abelian Hodge theory (the P=W conjecture)\, enumerative geometry (Donaldson-Thomas and BPS invariants)\, planar singularities (DAHA\, knot invariants)\, and hyper-Kähler geometries (Hodge modules\, motivic techniques). In this lecture series\, I will discuss some of these developments. If time permits\, open questions will be presented and discussed.

This remains to be a fundamental difficulty in most modeling and simulation applications. There are many uncertainty classification systems which occur in modeling and simulation\, most practical uncertainty frameworks are discipline-specific or model-specific. These classification systems define categories of uncertainties which need to be considered for a specific model or application. Such uncertainty frameworks cannot be proved to be complete\, and certainly are not universal. To develop a complete set of errors associated with modeling and simulation\, it is necessary to define every error that could affect the accuracy of computational model’s prediction of a real-world system regardless of the model\, discipline\, or application\, i.e.\, a theoretically complete set of errors. The presentation will show three main types of uncertainty frameworks\, including a theoretically complete set of errors that\, if accounted for\, would result in the correct prediction of reality. The presented theoretically complete set of errors is a set of thirteen distinct difference terms\, which are closely related to current practices in verification\, validation\, and uncertainty quantification. It can be easily shown that these thirteen errors represent a theoretically complete set of errors.\n\nDr. Tomasz Kozlowski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Nuclear\, Plasma\, and Radiological Engineering at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Clay drew inspiration from their personal “unfinished business” and literature from the 1960s counterculture in making the work. \n\nInspired by the photography of Justine Kurland titled “Girl Pictures”\, Claire Schick’s\, *Sisters I Never Had*\, depicts a cast rebelling\, playing\, and lavishing in each other's company within nature. Schick’s solo\, *The Ballad of Big Trees*\, is in honor of Henry Cowell State Redwood Park in Santa Cruz\, California\, which holds a special place in Claire’s family and life.\n\nThis concert will be performed Thursday\, November 30 through Saturday\, December 2\, 2023.

The Ypsilanti\, Michigan–based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist intricately fuses a warm\, bluesy trinity of sound across his thoughtful\, intimate catalog. With hints of Michael McDonald\, Amos Lee\, and Ray Charles\, Adam wraps listeners in a soothing\, genre-defying embrace. His emotive vocals\, hypnotic instrumentation\, and introspective tales provide a comforting reassurance about overcoming challenges in life and love. Adam draws on the words of John Coltrane to describe his own art: \"My music is the spiritual expression of what I am – My faith\, my knowledge\, my being .. When you begin to see the possibilities of music\, you desire to do something really good for people\, to help humanity free itself from its hang-ups .. I want to speak to their souls.\" \n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4360/4361 for more detail.

Brace yourselves for a Jersey-fied twist on the operatic classic as we transport *Gianni Schicchi* from the cobblestone streets of 13th-century Florence to the sun-soaked shores of 2005 New Jersey! Picture this: a tale of money\, greed\, and the eternal clash between the old guard and the new wave\, all set against the backdrop of big hair\, bigger attitudes\, and the inescapable allure of the Jersey shore. \n\nGianni Schicchi\, the real Florentine legend plucked straight from Dante's *Inferno*\, is reborn in a high-spirited satire that's part cunning deceit\, part operatic rollercoaster. Get ready for a libretto that's more Sopranos than Puccini\, as we explore the timeless themes of wealth\, family\, and the pursuit of that elusive American Dream. \n\nAnd who could forget the show-stopping aria \"O mio babbino caro\,\" a powerhouse performance that'll leave you breathless and reaching for those gelato-scented tissues. Join us for a night of operatic mayhem where tradition meets modernity\, and where New Jersey's own Gianni Schicchi proves that even in the Garden State\, the drama is as grand as the arias! Don't miss this operatic extravaganza – because in Jersey\, the soprano isn't the only one hitting those high notes!\n\nConductor: Kirk Severtson \nStage Director: Mo Zhou \nJohn Morefield\, piano\n\nCAST\nGianni Schicchi: Cody Carlson \nRinuccio: Yinghui He \nLauretta: Cinderella Ksebati \nZita: Aria Minasian \nGherardo: Jabari Lewis \nNella: Amber Rogers \nSimone: Xavier Perry\nLa Ciesca: Maddy Ringo \nBetto di Signa: Thomas Long \nMarco: Justin Ingui \nMaestro Spinellocio & Pinellino: Loren Reash-Henz \nSer Amantio di Nicolao: Hunter Reid \nGherardino: Marisa Redding\nBuoso: Keen Williams UID:115437-21834670@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/115437 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music,North Campus,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Earl V.

She speaks no lines and is probably a typo. \n\nIn Aditi Kapil’s *Imogen Says Nothing*\, Imogen is a woman in Elizabethan England whose life is changed by the opportunity to appear in a performance of *Much Ado About Nothing* – an opportunity reserved solely for men. Imogen appears on stage as a woman playing a man playing a woman. To make matters more complicated\, Imogen is also a bear. \n\nA revisionist comedy in verse and prose\, this feminist hijacking of Shakespeare investigates the voices that have long been absent from the theatrical canon\, and the consequences of cutting them. \n\n*Imogen Says Nothing* premiered on January 20\, 2017\, at the Yale Repertory Theatre\, which also commissioned the play\, in New Haven\, Connecticut.\n\nWritten by Aditi Kapil\nDirected by Malcolm Tulip\n\nFUN FACTS: Aditi Kapil took the title from a piece of dialogue in *Much Ado About Nothing*. Beatrice\, when describing Benedick\, says\, “The one is too like an image and says nothing.” \n\nAditi Kapil discusses the development of Imogen at Yale here: \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUZc0lWwiqI UID:113739-21831529@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/113739 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Comedy,Culture,Diversity,In Person,Social Impact,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231201T181043 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231201T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Natasha\, Pierre DESCRIPTION:Presented by In the Round Productions. \nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4472/4473 for more detail.
