Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Through three different perspectives\, conveyed in vignettes\, audiences see modern Black classical musicians as they journey through academia\, love\, and life. \n\n*Concert Black* illustrates the orchestra from a Black musician’s perspective\, the conflict between imposter syndrome and success\, and Black joy in performance. Following the story of an oboist\, violinist and vocalist\, *Concert Black* emphasizes that the Black experience is a shared one but not monolithic. It aims to create a chosen home for Black/Black queer people both in the arts and beyond. \n\nAuthored by graduate student Mattie Levy\, this performance is presented by Levy in partial fulfillment of the Master of Music in Performance (Oboe) and the Master of Music in Composition.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities.

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.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture\, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as\nscribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core\, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding\, augmenting\, slicing\, repeating\, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception\, sympathy\, hierarchy\, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.\n\nPeter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan.

His new work—created for his exhibition at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery—is personal and abstract. Started as an attempt to paint for himself\, away from the center of things and off at the edges\, they are from the spaces of private thought that slip into existence and just as easily slip away. They come from an internal conversation and contact with the world. \"When I am with them\,\" Riley explains\, \"I feel a tension between the spaces in the works being present but unnamed. The paintings allow me to observe myself looking. I am acutely aware of time.

Indigenous birth givers also often hold citizenship in sovereign Nations with whom the US has agreements of fiduciary responsibility. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a complex set of policies that have demonstrated positive impact on perinatal health. Unfortunately\, conversations to repeal the ACA are ongoing and often do not include the specific needs or contexts of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) peoples. Because the ACA included several AIAN-specific provisions\, there is opportunity for differential impact and ultimately\, the potential to reduce health inequities between AIAN and white birth givers. In partnership with an advisory board of Indigenous health services and policy experts\, this project combines qualitative and quantitative research analyzing national datasets and interviews with expert consultants to provide understanding of how to make federal health policy work equitably for Indigenous birth givers in the US.

Some animals fail at apparently simple tasks\, while others have a remarkable capacity to collect\, retain\, and use information from the environment to guide their behavior. Although paper wasps brains are smaller than a grain of rice\, Tibbetts will show that wasps can perform seemingly complex behaviors like individual face recognition\, transitive inference\, social eavesdropping\, and concept learning. She will also describe experiments that take advantage of natural variation in behavior within and among wasp species to test how social interactions shape cognitive abilities.

Against appearances\, the Themersons saw themselves as operating at the intersection of both established and developing artistic traditions\, just as twentieth-century Europe represented the collision of modernity with traditional ways of life. Whereas the filmmakers knew precisely what their film aimed to convey\, however\, they regarded the new European order as a vast experiment whose outcome was uncertain—and potentially disastrous.\n \n Benjamin Paloff is the author of *Lost in the Shadow of the Word (Space\, Time\, and Freedom in Interwar Eastern Europe)* (Northwestern University Press\, 2016)\, which was named 2018 Best Book in Literary Studies by the American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages\, and of two poetry collections\, *And His Orchestra* (2015) and *The Politics* (2011)\, both published by Carnegie Mellon University Press. He has translated about a dozen books and many shorter literary and theoretical texts from Polish\, Czech\, Russian\, and Yiddish\, notably works by Dorota Masłowska\, Marek Bieńczyk\, Richard Weiner\, and Yuri Lotman\, and he has received grants and fellowships from the Michigan Society of Fellows (2007-2010)\, Poland’s Book Institute (2010)\, the Stanford Humanities Center (2013)\, and the National Endowment for the Arts (2009\, 2016). His research focuses on philosophical dilemmas\, particularly in metaphysics and the ethics of representation\, in modern Central and Eastern European literature\, as well as on translation theory and practice.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

These collections challenge the notion that the Arabic language itself forbids or erases queer sexuality\; in the talk\, Shomali argues that these collections manipulate Arabic and English to offer new ways of seeing and thinking queer life. She offers close readings of the naming practices writers use and considers a contemporary vocabulary for queer Arab subjects\, one that evades\, challenges\, and upturns restrictive discourses. The collections also demonstrate that Arabs can look to queer Arab communities for strident and intersectional critiques of Arab heteropatriarchy\, imperialism and occupation\, and heteronormativity. \n\nRegister for hybrid here: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMlfuiqqD4jG9YnhiGfpjOhlEOP0PwqOmmW UID:117278-21839095@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/117278 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Amas,American Culture,Arab,arab american studies,Arab And Muslim American Studies,Arabic,Department Of American Culture,Discussion,Diversity,Free,In Person,LGBT LOCATION:Haven Hall - 3512 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240213T123202 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240129T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240129T163000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Navigating Job Search Part 2 DESCRIPTION:Every month from now until April\, Cherokee County School District will be hosting virtual TEAMS sessions for future educators from 4:00-4:30 PM EST covering multiple education-related topics.

The spatial circle and/or the temporal cycle provide a guiding model by which he creates a form of bridging between mundane\, terrestrial experience on the one hand\, and\, on the other\, the uplift towards the sublimity of cosmic consciousness. His argument focuses on the tension between these ‘higher’ and ‘lower’ viewpoints\, and on the role that circularity plays in coordinating them within a coherent vision of cosmic operation. \n\nGareth Williams has taught at Columbia University since 1992. He received a Ph.D. in 1990 from Cambridge University for a dissertation on Ovid’s exilic writings that subsequently resulted in two books\, the first Banished Voices: Readings in Ovid’s Exile Poetry (Cambridge\, 1994) and the second The Curse of Exile: A Study of Ovid’s Ibis\, Proceedings of the Cambridge Philological Society Supplementary Volume 19 (Cambridge\, 1996).\n\nTwo distinct research phases followed\, the first of which focused on the Latin ethical writings of Lucius Annaeus Seneca. Two monographs resulted\, the first an edition with commentary of L. Annaeus Seneca: Selected Moral Dialogues. De Otio\, De Brevitate Vitae (Cambridge\, 2003)\; the second\, The Cosmic Viewpoint: A Study of Seneca’s Natural Questions (Oxford\, 2012)\, was awarded the Goodwin Award of Merit by the Society for Classical Studies in 2014. Most recently\, among various other projects and edited volumes around Roman philosophy\, his research has focused on the socio-literary culture of Renaissance Venice\, an interest that resulted in the publication of Pietro Bembo on Etna: The Ascent of a Venetian Humanist (Oxford\, 2017).\n\nA general book on Ovid has recently been published: On Ovid’s Metamorphoses\, New York\, 2023\, and a two-volume edition and annotated translation of selected writings of the fifteenth-century Venetian humanist Ermolao Barbaro is currently in press with Bloomsbury (Ermolao Barbaro\, On Celibacy and On the Duty of the Ambassador\, London\, 2023).

Her lecture addresses the fear of taking risks and detours from one's path to seeking self discovery and purpose. Free and open to the public.\n\nGUEST BIO \n\nAVA ORDMAN (BM & MM ’75\, trombone) served for 24 years as principal trombone with the Grand Rapids Symphony – a job she attained at age 19. At age 41\, Ordman returned to school to pursue a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Western Michigan University. In 1997\, she began her work as a psychologist while subbing with the Detroit Symphony and Detroit Opera orchestras and teaching low brass at Oakland University. In 2002\, Ordman was appointed professor of trombone at Michigan State University. She is principal trombone of the Lansing Symphony Orchestra and the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music Orchestra\, and she performs with the Monarch Brass\, the flagship brass ensemble of the International Women’s Brass Conference.\n\nOrdman played her solo debut at Carnegie Hall in 1990 with the American Symphony and has been a featured artist at numerous festivals and conferences. She performed the world premieres of Steven Smith’s Trombone Concerto with the Eugene Symphony and Libby Larsen’s *Mary Cassatt* with the Grand Rapids Symphony\; both works were written for Ordman. Ordman’s most recent venture was leading a consortium to commission a new trombone concerto by David Biedenbender\; *Their Eyes Are Fireflies* received its world premiere in 2018 with the MSU Wind Symphony.

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.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture\, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as\nscribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core\, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding\, augmenting\, slicing\, repeating\, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception\, sympathy\, hierarchy\, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.\n\nPeter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan.

They come from an internal conversation and contact with the world. \"When I am with them\,\" Riley explains\, \"I feel a tension between the spaces in the works being present but unnamed.

Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817716@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121548 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240130T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240130T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andrea Carlson Future Cache DESCRIPTION:In Andrea Carlson Future Cache\, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors\, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15\, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A. Wiles\, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text\; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman\, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin\; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides\; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station\, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\, U-M Clements Library\, and U-M Clark Map Library.

How have their perspectives shaped the enduring stories of our history and visions of the past?\n \nYou’re Welcome is a three-part installation and dynamic intervention that exposes the histories and narratives of the land occupied by the University of Michigan and UMMA’s neoclassical building\, Alumni Memorial Hall. A large-scale commission from artist Cannupa Hanska Luger on the exterior of UMMA’s building asks the campus and community to reconsider the memories molded into the Museum’s stone — the perspectives that shaped those traditions and the stories that remain unseen in our facade. This artistic interrogation dissects colonialist norms of monument-making\, explores the roles of buildings in upholding selected cultural systems\, and develops new forms of memorials that center Indigenous perspectives and collaboration to tell fuller stories and histories. \n \nLuger communicates stories of 21st-century Indigeneity\, sovereignty\, and anti-colonialism while offering critical cultural analysis through deep engagements with materials\, environments\, and communities. In addition to the exterior commission\, a gallery exhibition places Luger’s works of art in conversation with objects in UMMA’s collection\, allowing for discussion and thinking on long histories of collecting practices\, environmental degradation\, and the afterlife of colonialism. And\, a monument classroom from nonprofit public art and history studio Monument Lab invites the community to come together and examine how historic structures on the University of Michigan’s campus uphold social and cultural systems and narratives.  \n\nLead support for this project is provided by Teiger Foundation\, the U-M Office of the Provost\, the U-M Office of the President\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, the U-M Marsal Family School of Education\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, Michigan Humanities\, and the U-M Arts Initiative.

Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621195@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240104T103007 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240130T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240130T124500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Access to “Inaccessible” Arynes and Redox Chemistry Using Transition Metals DESCRIPTION:Research in the Roberts group involves looking at unsolved problems in organic synthesis through the perspective of organometallic/inorganic chemistry. One main area of interest for the group is the synthesis of heterocycles through aryne intermediates. Despite their useful reactivity\, a number of challenges still remain in the use of arynes including problems with regioselectivity and the synthesis of N-heterocyclic arynes. Using fundamental principles of Ni chemistry\, our group is the first to be able to access previously “inaccessible” 5-membered heterocyclic arynes for the first time since they were hypothesized to exist 120 years ago. We are also the first group to demonstrate catalyst controlled regioselectivity in arynes\, where all previous examples operated under substrate control. Another challenge in organic synthesis lies in alkyl–alkyl cross-coupling. This is due to challenges with oxidative addition and off cycle pathways such as beta-hydride elimination. Our group has pioneered the use of Group 3 metal catalysts supported by redox-active ligands to overcome some of these challenges. Using 10 mol% of a Sc\, Y\, or Lu tris(amido) catalyst\, coupling partners that both have beta-hydrogens can be successfully cross-coupled for the first time using early transition metals. These improvements related to organic synthesis can only be accessed using inorganic/organometallic chemistry.

This talk will be recorded for later viewing.\n\nAbstract: Complex adaptive systems science provides ways to examine relationships among individuals in the archaeological past. Through these methods we directly observe the impacts of individuals’ decisions (in the case of agent-based modeling) or their relationships to other individuals (in the case of network analysis) and then examine the effects of these behaviors on larger societal structures. Approaches from complex adaptive systems thus help advance archaeological research to study not just the tangible (artifacts) but the intangible and invisible (relationships).\n\nIn this talk I highlight how tools from complex adaptive systems science have helped solve debates on when and how the peopling of Australia happened\, and how people have been fundamental components in ecosystems for generations. This work has applicability to other systems worldwide\, both in the past and into the future. Archaeology helps us understand vexing problems today by illustrating the trajectories of past societies\, allowing us to see the long-term consequences of human decisions.

Insights from Vertebrate Comparative Demography DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Tuesday Lunch Seminar Series.\n\nPreview: “Bridging micro and macroevolution” is a topic frequently discussed in the comparative literature that has multiple meanings to different investigators. In this talk\, I will present results from my dissertation research\, where we explore whether demographic properties with ecological significance (sexual selection intensity and metapopulation-level persistence) represent a conceptual bridge connecting the temporal dynamics of populations and clades. Our findings suggest demographic properties have nontrivial variation at intraspecific\, biogeographic\, and phylogenetic levels\, and raise questions about the extent to which population-level processes observed at “the present day\" provide explanations for large-scale patterns of biodiversity.

I have been leading a distant quasar survey\, which yielded the largest sample of luminous quasars at z~6.5-7.6. Pre-JWST\, studies using this sample have placed stringent constraints on the intergalactic medium (IGM) evolution and early SMBH growth. The launch of JWST opens up a new era. I will introduce my recent effort to conduct high-resolution observations of a sample of ~30 luminous reionization-era quasars using JWST and ALMA\, in synergy with observations in other wavelengths. This dataset allows us to delve into a comprehensive study of the interactions between early SMBHs and their host galaxies at multiple scales and phases\, and enables new methods to constrain the reionization physics. I will present early results\, covering quasar physics\, AGN feedback\, host galaxy stellar emission and gas kinematics\, and IGM evolution. These new discoveries mark the beginning of a new era towards understanding the early Universe. With the upcoming next-generation facilities (e.g.\, Rubin\, Euclid\, Roman\, and E-ELT)\, our understanding of these key questions will be revolutionized in the next decade.

Despite the historical contexts of these opinions\, they remain salient to the current legal debate in the United States. The range of opinions includes strict limitations on abortion\, circumstantial legality\, and general permissibility. Scholars in both traditions debated the issue over extended periods of time (millennia in both instances)\, creating sophisticated bodies of jurisprudence on abortion. \n\nAlthough scholars disagreed over the permissibility of abortion\, they recognized the legitimacy of differing opinions. Comparatively\, the American political and legal debates on abortion have little tolerance for diversity of opinion and have become increasingly polarized. In this presentation\, Professor Benhalim will provide examples of sophisticated abortion jurisprudence from both traditions that recognize and accommodate a wide range of answers to the legal and ethical questions abortion presents. \n\n\nAbout Rabea Benhalim:\n\nRabea Benhalim is an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado Law School. She specializes in comparative Jewish and Islamic law with a focus on (1) The development of Islamic and Jewish law in the modern era and (2) the application of Islamic law in commercial contexts. Within these areas\, her current work investigates how secular environments affect interpretations and development of religious law\, especially for minority religions. Her recent publications include Islamic Law\, Sex\, & Marriage Contracts\, 108 MINN. L. REV. (2023) (forthcoming) and Oppression in Islamic\, Jewish and American Private Law\, 94 COLO. L. REV. 1 (2023). She teaches a variety of law courses including Contracts\, Secured Transactions\, Jewish Law\, and Islamic Law.\n \nProfessor Benhalim's prior work experience as a lawyer and policy expert includes positions at the Brookings Institution\, Mayer Brown LLP\, Maersk Oil\, and the Carter Center. She was the 2017-2019 William H. Hastie Fellow at the University of Wisconsin Law School. She holds a J.D. from the University of Texas\, an L.L.M. from the University of Wisconsin Law School\, a Master of Islamic Studies from the University of Texas\, a Master of Public Policy Degree from the University of Michigan\, and a B.A. from the University of Texas at Dallas.

However\, this sophisticated system is optimized in nature for biological objectives (competitive fitness) that are often at odds with human concerns such as energy-storage efficiency. While some progress has been made in reconfiguring native photosystems for biofuel production\, advances are limited by gaps in our understanding of the \"structure-spectrum-function\" relationship\, i.e.\, of the mechanisms by which protein structures tune pigment optical properties and\, in turn\, how these optical properties translate into biological function. In this talk\, I will describe recent efforts in my group to build a quantitative approach to structure-based tuning using site-directed mutagenesis\, optical spectroscopy\, and molecular and quantum dynamics simulations. Electrostatic effects are found to provide a relatively simple and predictable control knob for tuning electronic transitions\, while steric ring-deformation (although likely to be important) is more difficult to predict and control. Single point mutations are found to produce surprisingly large changes in vibrational sidebands in electronic spectra\, suggesting interplay between excitonic and vibrational coupling. I will close with preliminary results on tuning the lowest-energy fluorescent state of Photosystem II in cyanobacterial cells\, opening the door both to characterizing the functional relevance of these states in native systems and to tuning their properties for new applications.

A natural approach is to consider a uniformly sampled planar map\, which is a model for a discrete surface studied in many branches of both math and physics. When the size of the surface goes to infinity it converges to the continuum random surface known as a Liouville quantum gravity surface\, which was originally introduced in the physics literature. We will give an introduction to these objects and present a powerful technique to study them known as conformal welding\, where the random fractal curves known as Schramm-Loewner evolutions appear.

Structured non-convex learning problems\, common in statistical machine learning\, often possess critical points with favorable statistical properties. While algorithmic convergence and statistical estimation rates are well-understood in such scenarios\, quantifying uncertainty associated with the underlying training algorithm remains understudied in the non-convex setting. To address this gap\, we establish an asymptotic normality result for the Stochastic Gradient Descent algorithm with a constant step size. Specifically\, we demonstrate that the average of SGD iterates is asymptotically normally distributed around the expected value of their unique invariant distribution. We also characterize the bias between this expected value and the critical points of the objective function under various local regularity conditions. \n\n\n\nRecent studies have provided both empirical and theoretical evidence illustrating the emergence of heavy tails in stochastic optimization problems. Our focus shifts to stochastic convex optimization under infinite noise variance. When the stochastic gradient is unbiased and has a uniformly bounded (1 +k)-th moment for some k ∈ (0\, 1]\, we quantify the convergence rate of the Stochastic Mirror Descent algorithm with a particular class of uniformly convex mirror maps. Notably\, this algorithm does not require any explicit gradient clipping or normalization\, which have been extensively used in recent empirical and theoretical works. Our results are complemented by information-theoretic lower bounds\, indicating that no other algorithm using only stochastic first-order oracles can achieve improved rates. These findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of stochastic optimization\, bridging statistical and computational perspectives.

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.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture\, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as\nscribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core\, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding\, augmenting\, slicing\, repeating\, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception\, sympathy\, hierarchy\, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.\n\nPeter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan.

His new work—created for his exhibition at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery—is personal and abstract. Started as an attempt to paint for himself\, away from the center of things and off at the edges\, they are from the spaces of private thought that slip into existence and just as easily slip away. They come from an internal conversation and contact with the world. \"When I am with them\,\" Riley explains\, \"I feel a tension between the spaces in the works being present but unnamed.

Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A.

How have their perspectives shaped the enduring stories of our history and visions of the past?\n \nYou’re Welcome is a three-part installation and dynamic intervention that exposes the histories and narratives of the land occupied by the University of Michigan and UMMA’s neoclassical building\, Alumni Memorial Hall. A large-scale commission from artist Cannupa Hanska Luger on the exterior of UMMA’s building asks the campus and community to reconsider the memories molded into the Museum’s stone — the perspectives that shaped those traditions and the stories that remain unseen in our facade. This artistic interrogation dissects colonialist norms of monument-making\, explores the roles of buildings in upholding selected cultural systems\, and develops new forms of memorials that center Indigenous perspectives and collaboration to tell fuller stories and histories. \n \nLuger communicates stories of 21st-century Indigeneity\, sovereignty\, and anti-colonialism while offering critical cultural analysis through deep engagements with materials\, environments\, and communities. In addition to the exterior commission\, a gallery exhibition places Luger’s works of art in conversation with objects in UMMA’s collection\, allowing for discussion and thinking on long histories of collecting practices\, environmental degradation\, and the afterlife of colonialism. And\, a monument classroom from nonprofit public art and history studio Monument Lab invites the community to come together and examine how historic structures on the University of Michigan’s campus uphold social and cultural systems and narratives.  \n\nLead support for this project is provided by Teiger Foundation\, the U-M Office of the Provost\, the U-M Office of the President\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, the U-M Marsal Family School of Education\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, Michigan Humanities\, and the U-M Arts Initiative.

Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways.

The terminal value ξ and the obstacle processes (Lt)0≤t≤T and (Ut)0≤t≤T are Lp-integrable for a suitable p > 2. First\, we construct the solution for the one barrier case using the localization method\, and also the penalization method after we prove the comparison theorem in our setting. Then\, we move on to the case of two barriers where we use the concept of local solution to construct a global one. As applications\, we broaden the class of functions for which mixed stochastic control problems and mixed zero-sum stochastic differential games admit an optimal strategy UID:117024-21838483@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/117024 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240128T105628 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240131T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240131T120000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Strength of polynomials over finite fields and equidistribution DESCRIPTION:Strength is an algebraic measure of nondegeneracy for multivariate polynomials. Motivated by questions in additive combinatorics\, Green and Tao proved that polynomials over finite fields with high strength have equidistributed values. This result led to a flurry of various extensions and improvements by many others. I will survey what is known both qualitatively and quantitatively and then introduce an equidistribution result for polynomials with inputs restricted to lie on a variety.\nJoint work with Tamar Ziegler.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621196@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240129T134935 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240131T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240131T123000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Declare ECE DESCRIPTION:Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan invites all undeclared CoE students to attend Declare ECE!

Learning to be Loyal: Political & Patriotic Education in Russia & China DESCRIPTION:How do authoritarian regimes attempt to build loyalty among a globally-minded youth? How do they educate students to be patriotic and supportive citizens\, and do these strategies actually generate popular support for those in power? Drawing on political and patriotic education materials from contemporary Russia and China—two countries of geopolitical importance with long histories of political education training—Karrie Koesel will compare how these countries seek to transmit political knowledge to young people\; how they use schools to socialize students to be patriotic and cultivate popular legitimacy\; and whether these efforts build support for the authoritarian status quo.\n \n Karrie J. Koesel is associate professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame where she specializes in the study of contemporary Russian and Chinese politics\, authoritarianism\, and religion and politics. She is the author of *Religion and Authoritarianism: Cooperation\, Conflict and the Consequences* (Cambridge University Press\, 2014)\, co-editor of *Citizens & the State in Authoritarian Regimes: Comparing China & Russia* (Oxford University Press\, 2021)\, and a fellow in the Public Intellectual Program for the National Committee on US-China Relations. Karrie Koesel is currently working on a book\, *Learning to Be Loyal: Political Education in Authoritarian Regimes*.

Support for Redistribution in the Age of Inequality DESCRIPTION:What explains the public’s muted response to income inequality? To answer this question\, Fair Enough? proposes a new framework for studying attitudes toward redistributive social policies in times of rising inequality. These attitudes\, Cavaille argues\, are shaped by at least two motives. First\, people support policies that increase their own expected income. Second\, they support policies that move the status quo closer to what is prescribed by shared norms of fairness. In most circumstances\, saying the “fair thing” is easier than reasoning according to one's own economic interest. But there are important exceptions: when policies have large and certain pocketbook consequences\, people take the self-interested position instead of the “fair” one. Combined with a new theory of fairness concerns\, this simple framework helps explain puzzling attitudinal trends in post-industrial democracies including a decline in support for redistribution in Great Britain\, the erosion of social solidarity in France\, and a declining correlation between income and support for redistribution in the United States.

This factorization has proven very useful for recursion relations for amplitudes at high multplicities. The recursion can break down\, however\, when the amplitude contains a pole at infinity. In this talk we are going to make modest step towards a prescription of “unitarity at infinity”. We do this by studying on-shell diagrams\, which are on-shell gauge invariant objects that appear as cuts of loop integrands in the context of generalized unitarity and serve as building blocks for amplitudes in recursion relations. In the dual formulation\, they are associated with cells of the positive Grassmannian. We will describe on-shell diagrams in N<4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory and show that there exists a diagrammatic operation that corresponds to sending one of the momenta to infinity.

The steady state substrate concentration field is governed by Laplace's equation with mixed boundary conditions. We use the collocation method to obtain numerical solutions to the equation in spherical coordinates and we show that the product concentration field can be expressed in terms of the substrate concentration field. The asymmetry of the reaction gives rise to a slip velocity that causes the particle to move spontaneously in the fluid through a process known as self-diffusiophoresis. Using the Lorentz reciprocal theorem\, we obtain the swimming velocity of the particle. The magnitude and direction of propulsion depend on competition between the substrate and product mobilities and diffusivities. We extend the results to Janus particles with arbitrary surface coverage\, maximizing the swimming velocity as a function of the size of the reaction site.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture\, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as\nscribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core\, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding\, augmenting\, slicing\, repeating\, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception\, sympathy\, hierarchy\, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.\n\nPeter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan. He currently serves on faculty at College for Creative Studies UID:116532-21837294@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116532 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240115T111145 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240201T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240201T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamps School of Art and Design Staff Exhibition DESCRIPTION:January 26-April 12\, 9 am - 5 pm or by appointment\ncontact: serrag@med.umich.edu UID:116536-21837453@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116536 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Connections Gallery located on concourse level CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240209T105543 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240201T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240201T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Time DESCRIPTION:Artist Enrico Riley is best known for paintings that investigate violence and hope in cultural traditions in African American culture. His new work—created for his exhibition at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery—is personal and abstract. Started as an attempt to paint for himself\, away from the center of things and off at the edges\, they are from the spaces of private thought that slip into existence and just as easily slip away. They come from an internal conversation and contact with the world. \"When I am with them\,\" Riley explains\, \"I feel a tension between the spaces in the works being present but unnamed. The paintings allow me to observe myself looking. I am acutely aware of time.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle.

Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A. Wiles\, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text\; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman\, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin\; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides\; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station\, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\, U-M Clements Library\, and U-M Clark Map Library.

How have their perspectives shaped the enduring stories of our history and visions of the past?\n \nYou’re Welcome is a three-part installation and dynamic intervention that exposes the histories and narratives of the land occupied by the University of Michigan and UMMA’s neoclassical building\, Alumni Memorial Hall. A large-scale commission from artist Cannupa Hanska Luger on the exterior of UMMA’s building asks the campus and community to reconsider the memories molded into the Museum’s stone — the perspectives that shaped those traditions and the stories that remain unseen in our facade. This artistic interrogation dissects colonialist norms of monument-making\, explores the roles of buildings in upholding selected cultural systems\, and develops new forms of memorials that center Indigenous perspectives and collaboration to tell fuller stories and histories. \n \nLuger communicates stories of 21st-century Indigeneity\, sovereignty\, and anti-colonialism while offering critical cultural analysis through deep engagements with materials\, environments\, and communities. In addition to the exterior commission\, a gallery exhibition places Luger’s works of art in conversation with objects in UMMA’s collection\, allowing for discussion and thinking on long histories of collecting practices\, environmental degradation\, and the afterlife of colonialism. And\, a monument classroom from nonprofit public art and history studio Monument Lab invites the community to come together and examine how historic structures on the University of Michigan’s campus uphold social and cultural systems and narratives.  \n\nLead support for this project is provided by Teiger Foundation\, the U-M Office of the Provost\, the U-M Office of the President\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, the U-M Marsal Family School of Education\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, Michigan Humanities\, and the U-M Arts Initiative.

Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621197@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240111T085322 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240201T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240201T150000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Investigate Labs DESCRIPTION:Step into our two Investigate Labs\, where you can use scientific tools and museum specimens to answer questions and solve problems.

This talk will be recorded for later viewing.\n\nAbstract: In this talk\, I will explore the interesting geometries that emerge in high-dimensional attraction basins\, which are important in applications such as protein folding\, cell differentiation\, and neural networks. Using simple networks of coupled oscillators\, I will show that high-dimensional basins are generally highly nonconvex and nonlocal\, with most of the basin volume concentrated in tentacle-like structures. Next\, I will show that introducing non-pairwise interactions in the network can make basins deeper but smaller—the attractors become linearly more stable but much harder to find due to basins shrinking dramatically. I will end with a few applications to neuroscience.

Justifiably\, several studies have investigated engineering student persistence and attrition\, especially during the first year\, and then informed the development of interventions to address the challenges. While those interventions have improved freshmen retention in some institutions\, less has been published on the impacts of these interventions on the sophomore student experience. In this study\, we examined the experiences of sophomore engineering students and explored how these experiences relate to their identities as engineers. We conducted this study using photovoice\, a methodology/intervention in which participants submit photographs to help describe their experiences and give recommendations on improving their experiences and resolving their concerns. Through empowering participants to co-construct the knowledge\, we were able to see what interest\, competence\, and recognition as engineers looked like from the student’s perspectives. This work has the potential to yield practical solutions that institutional stakeholders can implement\, such as intentionally creating cultures of well-being\, self-reflection\, and belonging.

Of all the new planets that have been discovered\, gas giants are the easiest ones for us to find – they are bigger\, brighter\, and more massive than any other kind of planet. This means that they are ideal targets for characterization techniques that can tell us about the planet formation process\, and they are so massive that they dominate the dynamics of their systems\, impacting the formation of other planets. Gas giants are an obvious place for us to start if we want to learn about the physics of planet formation.\n\nIn this talk I will describe my work using multiple observational techniques to explore the formation and evolution of gas giants. I will discuss how targeting directly imaged planets with high-resolution spectroscopy enables measurements of new planetary properties like rotation rates\, obliquities\, and detailed atmospheric abundances. These provide fundamental insights into the physics of gas giant formation\, such as the evolution of planetary angular momentum. I will describe how leveraging high-contrast imaging techniques to look for planets in their infancy rules out gravitational scattering as the origin of wide-separation gas giants\, and constrains the timing of gas giant formation and migration. I will also talk about how radial velocity searches for Jupiter analogs in systems with known inner planets reveal the impact gas giants have on the inner architectures of planetary systems\, and are a key step in the search for life on other planets. Finally\, I will highlight the important role that the next-generation Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will have in extending these high-resolution spectroscopy measurements to directly imaged ice giant and terrestrials worlds\, opening new windows into their formation histories and enabling searches for biosignatures in their atmospheres.

My seminar will focus on the development of metathesis mechanisms to access heteroatom-rich polymer backbones\, new editing tools to transform existing polymer backbones into different ones\, and both strategies and tactics to depolymerize commodity polymeric materials into valuable small molecules. Specifically\, I will discuss iridium-guanidinate catalyzed ring-opening metathesis of cyclic carbodiimides and the current directions toward diazene metathesis\, as well as an array of rearrangement transformations—including Ireland-Claisen and aza-Cope—applied to edit the backbones of polymers.

In this talk\, we present work towards developing an analogous theory over a field of characteristic two by working modulo a Frobenius power. As a result\, we obtain modular GL_n-representations whose characters are given by particular truncated Schur polynomials\, thus proving a conjecture by Gao-Raicu-VandeBogert in the characteristic two case. This is joint work with Laura Casabella.

Refreshments will be served.\n\nHaji Noor Deen is the first Chinese person to have received certification\, or ijaza\, in the Thuluth and Naskh Arabic calligraphic scripts of the Ottoman tradition\, after extensive training with renowned Turkish calligrapher Hasan Çelebi. He has gone on to develop his own unique style\, known as Ṣīnī (literally\, “Chinese” in Arabic) which incorporates both Chinese and Arabic calligraphic elements to elaborate a Chinese Islamic calligraphic form for the Arabic script. \n\nIn this lecture\, master Haji Noor Deen will introduce Arabic and Chinese calligraphic traditions and their convergence in the Ṣīnī style. He will be joined by his students Alaa Elamin (Ijaza in Thuluth & Naskh and Arabic Calligraphy in the Chinese Style) and Farzana Razzaque (Ijaza in Thuluth & Naskh).\n\nA selection of Haji Noor Deen’s works will be on display at the event and will be accompanied by a selection of books from the library’s collections featuring these calligraphic traditions.\n\nOrganized in partnership with the Deen Arts Foundation and sponsored by the University of Michigan Library\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, and Global Islamic Studies Center.

The usual answer has been domestic work\, but the field of slavery studies is in the midst of a historiographical turn toward the importance of sexual and reproductive labor. Enslaved women certainly performed these types of labor in medieval Mediterranean contexts\, and Professor Barker will introduce some of the sources that enable historians to understand these aspects of their enslavement. She will also argue that the framework of domestic\, sexual\, and reproductive labor remains insufficient to express the full range of enslaved women’s activities.\n\nHannah Barker is an associate professor of medieval history at Arizona State University. She studies connections between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean during the late medieval period\, especially the slave trade and the transmission of plague leading to the Black Death. Her book\, That Most Precious Merchandise: The Mediterranean Trade in Black Sea Slaves\, 1260-1500\, was published in 2019. It received the Paul E. Lovejoy Prize and the ASU Institute for Humanities Research book prize\, as well as honorable mentions for the Mediterranean Seminar’s Wadjih F. al-Hamwi Prize and the Middle East Medievalists book prize.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

The United Racisms of America: Conceptualizing\, Measuring and Understanding Anti-Black Human Rights Violations\, 1860-2010 DESCRIPTION:A great deal has been discussed about the different types and degrees of violence\discrimination directed against African Americans since they were brought to the United States. Unfortunately\, the work on this topic has largely been fragmented. We thus have separate literatures on slavery\, lynching\, Jim Crow (old and new)\, police violence\, disenfranchisement\, incarceration\, police violence and hate crimes. Despite suggestions that these are all manifestations of a singular underlying phenomenon\, there is very little empirical effort directed toward testing such an idea. Drawn from a larger research project on the consequences of racial violence funded by the Research Council of Norway\, the current talk explores whether and to what degree distinct forms of anti-Black human rights violations fit together in a coherent sense as well as how they vary across space and time. These data will not only shed much light on what was done to African Americans between the years 1860 and 2010 but it will also facilitate systematic evaluations of when things began to get worse and better\, what was the relative intensity of violations\, how long did bad/good periods last\, what are the legacies/consequences of anti-Black human rights violations as well as where efforts should be made to address PTSD\, reconciliation and/or reparations. This effort will also assist in the creation of a grand accounting of what has taken place by allowing individuals throughout the United States to provide their stories and archival material regarding what they experienced.\n\nThis event will not be live-streamed\, but a recording will be later shared.

These solutions can be stored symbolically and analytically continued to the real frequency axis. These advancements provide unprecedented access to correlation functions for both single and many-particle properties and have the potential to be applied to extension of density functional theory. However\, the path to the general application of these ideas is fraught with technical hurdles. We will review progress in diagrammatic methods as a whole and present calculations from our group in that context for the Jellium and 2D Hubbard models and discuss extensions to generalized multiband problems.\n\nIn particular our methodology provides access to response functions such as the optical conductivity. We will present a study of the frequency and temperature dependence of the optical conductivity in the weakly coupled two-dimensional Hubbard model using a renormalized perturbative expansion. The resulting conductivity shows a linear power law behaviour in the intermediate frequency regime. Moreover\, the associated transport scattering time and renormalized mass exhibit a Planckian behaviour. We show that the self-energy of the Hubbard model\, however\, is distinct from existing Planckian models yet gives rise to the same features in the conductivity.

The problem was posed by Leo Moser in 1966\, and the best known lower bound of 2.2195... was proved by Gerver in 1994\, by constructing a sofa whose boundary consists of 18 special curves. While it is conjectured that Gerver's sofa attains the maximum area\, the best published upper bound of 2.37 was proved by Kallus and Romik in 2018 using computer assistance.\n\nImproving upon the computer-assisted approach of Kallus and Romik\, we improve the upper bound to 2.32. Moreover\, without any computer assistance\, we prove a conceptually new upper bound of $1 + \pi^2/8$ = 2.2337... that is much closer to the lower bound of Gerver\, on a large subset of shapes which includes Gerver's sofa. We also discuss the possibility of making the upper bound of 2.2337... unconditional by building upon the approaches of the two results.

I am thinking through three distinct philosophical threads: Alain Locke’s ‘value theory\,’ Leonard Harris’ ‘insurrectionist ethics\,’ and Drucilla Cornell’s ‘imaginary domain.’ My purpose is to argue that a philosophical reading outside of fiscal interventions is to redefine how we critique Black social value through the intricacies of resistance\, occupancy of space\, and full citizenship for those who are historically racialized as Black. Therefore\, I will be looking at the art of talking back an ethical undertaking that will inform the reparative justice that will see Black people as fully humanized subjects. Arguably\, to think this through is to Imagine a domain of Black futurity and value.\n\nThis is a hybrid event UID:115731-21835441@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/115731 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:american culture,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Romance Languages And Literatures LOCATION:Off Campus Location - 4th Floor RLL Commons CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240216T123216 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240201T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240201T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs: Investment Banking\, Private Capital Advisory - Virtual Information Session (2024) DESCRIPTION:Build a Solid Foundation with William Blair.\n\nAt William Blair we believe that investing in the growth and success of our employees iscritical to the success and growth of our clients – and the industry atlarge.\n\nIf you are currently a student interested in opportunities in Private Capital Advisory\, graduating between\nDecember 2025 - June 2026 and want to learn how William Blair’s programs can help jumpstart your career in investment banking\, we invite you to join us for an Information Session on February 1st from 5:00 - 6:00pm EST.\n\nLearn what it means to bepart of a culture of collaboration and accountability\, where you are empowered to choose your own path.\n\nYou must register via the William Blairlink above\; registering via Handshake will not register you for this event.

In 1979\, when the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia led to the ousting of the Khmer Rouge regime\, he fled with his family to Thailand\, spending four years in refugee camps before immigrating to the United States. Memories of traveling vast distances on foot and witnessing the devastation of war—broken bodies\, ravaged landscapes\, abandoned artillery\, ruined buildings\, and the breakdown of social and cultural institutions—underpin his early sculptural practice. While Pich studied painting\, earning a BFA from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst (1995)\, and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1999)\, he turned his attention to sculpture after returning to Cambodia in 2002 where he laboriously began working with local materials – bamboo\, old rafters\, rattan\, burlap\, beeswax\, broken utensils\, and earth pigments gathered from his local surroundings. Pich’s works have been collected and shown in many museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Guggenheim\, the Centre George Pompidou\, the Mori Art Museum\, M+\, and the National Gallery of Singapore\, as well as many international exhibitions including the 57th Venice Biennale (2017)\, Documenta 13 (2012)\, the 6th Asia Pacific Triennale (2009)\, the Setouchi Triennale (2022)\, and the Guangju Biennale (2023)\, among others. He lives and works in Phnom Penh\, Cambodia.\n\nPich’s work is featured in the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) exhibition Angkor Complex: Cultural Heritage and Post-Genocide Memory in Cambodia\, curated by U-M History of Art Professor Nachiket Chanchani and on view February 3 - July 2024. As crises of public health\, racial injustice\, economic instability\, and climate change spread worldwide\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, indebtedness\, and vulnerability. This mélange of unnerving emotions is hardly new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s population died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition. Bringing together more than eighty artworks spanning a millennium—including many on loan from collections worldwide—this landmark exhibition presents the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora and allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and of related upheavals and critically appreciate strategies evolved to nurture resilience.

This talk will outline the history of celestial coordinates from their early beginning in ancient Babylon to their final establishment with Ptolemy (ca. 100-170 CE)\, with a special focus on the great innovations introduced by one of the greatest astronomers of the ancient world: Hipparchus of Nicaea (ca. 150 BCE).\n\n\n\nTalk begins at 7PM at the Detroit Observatory. Tours of the historic Detroit Observatory will be available after the talk\, including telescope observing\, if weather permits.

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.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture\, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as\nscribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core\, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding\, augmenting\, slicing\, repeating\, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception\, sympathy\, hierarchy\, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.\n\nPeter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan.

Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A.

How have their perspectives shaped the enduring stories of our history and visions of the past?\n \nYou’re Welcome is a three-part installation and dynamic intervention that exposes the histories and narratives of the land occupied by the University of Michigan and UMMA’s neoclassical building\, Alumni Memorial Hall. A large-scale commission from artist Cannupa Hanska Luger on the exterior of UMMA’s building asks the campus and community to reconsider the memories molded into the Museum’s stone — the perspectives that shaped those traditions and the stories that remain unseen in our facade. This artistic interrogation dissects colonialist norms of monument-making\, explores the roles of buildings in upholding selected cultural systems\, and develops new forms of memorials that center Indigenous perspectives and collaboration to tell fuller stories and histories. \n \nLuger communicates stories of 21st-century Indigeneity\, sovereignty\, and anti-colonialism while offering critical cultural analysis through deep engagements with materials\, environments\, and communities. In addition to the exterior commission\, a gallery exhibition places Luger’s works of art in conversation with objects in UMMA’s collection\, allowing for discussion and thinking on long histories of collecting practices\, environmental degradation\, and the afterlife of colonialism. And\, a monument classroom from nonprofit public art and history studio Monument Lab invites the community to come together and examine how historic structures on the University of Michigan’s campus uphold social and cultural systems and narratives.  \n\nLead support for this project is provided by Teiger Foundation\, the U-M Office of the Provost\, the U-M Office of the President\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, the U-M Marsal Family School of Education\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, Michigan Humanities\, and the U-M Arts Initiative.

Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways.

The first step of RLHF involves learning human values using a reward model from ranking data. It is observed that the performance of the reward model degrades after one epoch of training\, and optimizing the language model too much against the learned proxy reward model hinders the true objective. This talk delves into these issues\, leveraging the theoretical insights from statistical decision theory to design improved reward learning algorithms. We also introduce advanced prompting techniques that generate high-quality synthetic ranking dataset for RLHF. By combining the high-quality RLHF dataset with our improved reward learning algorithms\, we created the open source language model Starling-7B\, which ranks first among all 7B models according to human evaluation in Chatbot Arena.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621198@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240217T063201 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240202T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240202T113000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:US Secret Service Career Information Session DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Secret Service is seeking qualified\nindividuals withdiverse skills and backgrounds who\nare interested in a challenging career with\nour federal law enforcement agency.\nAll majors are welcome to attend.

This new spotlight surfaces research that has been conducted by many scholars for much longer\, highlighting their commitment to telling stories and honoring perspectives of diverse and minority communities. Their work reveals that while there is no unified queer experience in the region\, there is often a one-size-fits all state response to the reality of queer lives in many nations within the region. How can a queer-studies focus advance conversations about decolonization in East European and Eurasian Studies? To address this question\, Queer Focus will have six virtual panels featuring speakers from various disciplines and institutions. Panelists and participants will explore how gendered regimes were constitutive of Russo-centric relationships of power\, defining the region and how we study it\, as we collectively grapple with what it means to re-examine our current research\, teaching\, and institutional practices.\n\n*Panel 3 of the series will take a cultural view of queer studies within the region\, with a focus on cultural production and representation. * UID:117922-21840194@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/117922 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:eastern europe,Gender,International LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240109T140626 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240202T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240202T120000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Data and AI Intensive Research with Rigor and Reproducibility (DAIR³) Training Program 2024 DESCRIPTION:About the program: Learn cutting-edge data science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods for biomedical and healthcare research\, ensure the rigor and reproducibility of your projects\, and network with fellow attendees from around the country!\n\nSupported by the National Institutes of Health\, the Data and AI Intensive Research with Rigor and Reproducibility (DAIR³) training program will be led by faculty and researchers from the University of Michigan\, the College of William and Mary\, Jackson State University\, and University of Texas San Antonio\; and cover the following:\n\n- Ethical issues in biomedical data science\n- Data management\, representation\, and sharing\n- Rigorous analytical design\n- The design and reporting of AI models\n- Reproducible workflows\n- Assessing findings across studies\n- Transformer-based AI for biomedical research\n\nWho should attend: university faculty members at any career level\, and \nresearch scientists (staff\, advanced postdocs and PhD students). \n\nWant to learn more?

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/63JV3\n\nThis paper extends a theory of disorientations to reveal how attempts to fix and control both water and people are disrupting once-fluid relationships between the Tonle Sap Lake and communities who have lived with-on the lake for generations. Using ethnographic and participatory mapping methods\, we examine the socio-ecological dynamics that preceded and succeeded in the forced relocation of three floating communities in 2018. It argues communities’ experiences challenge land-centric and event-centric understandings of displacement that pathologize fluid lifeways and fail to account for the materiality of water that has shaped floating villages\; multi-generational relationships with their wetland ecology. The concept of disorientations illuminates villagers’ experiences of relocation within a collapsing aquatic ecosystem–a collapse catalyzed by state efforts to impose fixity on both hydrological flow and community mobility. The lens of disorientations invites displacement debates to consider materialities of place—whether pulsing water or living\, shifting soils.\n \n Sopheak Chann is a visiting fellow at James Madison Colleges\, Michigan State University\, and a lecturer at the Department of Natural Resource Management and Development\, Royal University of Phnom Penh.

How are we adapting to these new realities and mitigating health risks for the world’s most vulnerable communities? Join us for the third seminar of the series: Climate Vulnerability & Health — How are we Responding?\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Pimentel Walker and Dr. Junghans will explore innovative housing solutions for climate resilience in self-built settlements in São Paulo\, Brazil and Bucaramanga\, Colombia.\n \nRegister: https://myumi.ch/Qqy5E\n\n—\nFull description: \nHeat is a growing health risk aggravated by expanding urbanization\, an increase in high-temperature extremes\, and demographic changes. Communities living in precarious settlements are disproportionately vulnerable to extreme heat. Although building techniques to improve indoor thermal comfort can be an adaptation option\, we lack design research tailored to the realities of self-built homes. Design research for passive cooling frequently stems from building standards in the Global North. In the Global South\, these strategies target middle-class buildings\, with higher-end formal construction built by design professionals and engineers.\n\nThis pilot project conducted an ethnographic account of auto-construction practices and constraints in two informal and precarious settlements in São Paulo\, Brazil\, and Bucaramanga\, Colombia. The computational simulations identified interventions that theoretically improve occupant thermal comfort by increasing air velocity and lowering indoor temperatures\, ultimately reducing heat stress. Our collaborative research in Burkina Faso has already implemented interventions\, and it is in the assessment stage. However\, are all identified passive cooling strategies equally feasible and responsive to community expectations? Working with community members and their advocacy networks\, we plan to co-develop passive cooling strategies that are desirable and achievable\, amplifying the voices of low-income residents in the policy agendas for climate and housing justice.

Zoom registration is required at: http://myumi.ch/j73q4\n\nThis event focuses on Soren Mau’s new book Mute Compulsion\, which argues that capitalism survives crises because of the historically unique form of abstract and impersonal power that is set in motion by the subjection of social life to the profit motive. Unlike the forces of violence or ideology that directly acts upon individuals\, Mau argues that economic power as a unique form of capitalist domination shapes the material and social environment in such a way as to indirectly compel people to produce and reproduce capitalist social relations. In the course of his argument\, Mau intervenes in debates covering several topics including: value form theory\, logistics and supply chains\, agricultural production\, ecology and the metabolic rift\, biopolitics\, crisis theory\, technology and humanism\, theories of the body\, biopolitics\, social reproduction and surplus populations\, and theories of the empirics of power.\n \n This event will bring together scholars from various disciplines including History\, Philosophy\, Political Science\, Cultural Studies\, and International Studies\, to engage in Mau’s interdisciplinary arguments that revolve around his central thesis of mute compulsion. The aim is to stimulate fresh insights across disciplines concerning the economic logic and domination specific to capitalism. Therefore this event has the potential to attract interest across disciplinary lines and to encourage collaboration at the University of Michigan. To this end\, we also hope to publish an edited collection of interdisciplinary essays on Mute Compulsion in collaboration with the event’s participants and other U-M scholars in different fields of research. This event will consequently be of interest to various departments within the University of Michigan community given its interdisciplinary focus and timeliness.\n \n Given that the main topic in Mute Compulsion is global capitalism\, this event also entails an international perspective that will speak to the University’s diverse faculty\, staff\, and student body. This event has panelists from the United States\, Canada\, Denmark\, and Mexico whose collective scholarship and research focuses on different global issues ranging from colonialism\, nationalism\, war\, ecology\, cosmopolitan socialism\, and the planetary commons. This event’s international perspective aims to synthesize knowledge about global issues that cross regions to offer a more comprehensive understanding of the world. Moreover\, as the inaugural event of International Studies’ new annual workshop series\, this event will help further the program’s commitment to developing interventions into complex international issues. This international perspective will encourage further collaboration between different national scholars and we hope to use this event to solicit additional perspectives and topics from the Global North and Global South for the proposed edited collection of essays on Mute Compulsion.\n \n This event will also be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students interested in enriching their pedagogical experience at the university. Students will have the opportunity to dialogue with junior and senior academics about their expertise in order to build knowledge in their own respective fields. They will also benefit by learning from the impressive and cutting edge scholarship of an upcoming major theorist writing in the critical tradition. We hope that students will be inspired by the new ideas generated during this event to further their own interests and scholarship during their study at the University of Michigan.\n \n Event Program\n The event involves two panels of three discussants each followed by a keynote talk by Soren Mau. Each panel will be an hour long (15 minutes per discussant followed by a 15 minute Q&A). There will be one 15 min break between panels. The keynote will be approximately 30-45 minutes with 15-20 minutes for Q&A.\n Panel 1 (1:00pm-2:00pm)\n Dr. Matt McManus\, Lecturer in Political Science\, U-M\n Lacey Slizeski\, PhD candidate in Political Science\, U-M\n \n Break (2:00pm-2:30pm)\n \n Panel 2 (2:30pm-3:30pm)\n Marion Trejo\, PhD candidate in Political Science\, York University\n Dr. Dave Zeglen\, Lecturer in International Studies\, U-M\n Jasmine Chorley-Schulz\, PhD candidate in Political Theory\, University of Toronto\n \n Keynote (3:30pm-4:30pm)\n Dr. Soren Mau\, Postdoctoral Fellow in Philosophy\, Aarhus University\n \n Panelist Biographies\n \n Søren Mau is a philosopher who specialises in Marxist theory.

I will discuss two ideas that make use of surprising properties of coherent radiation to open new directions for detection\n\nFirst is intensity interferometry\, which relies on the second-order coherence of light. By recording photon counts rather than electromagnetic fields at a telescope\, intensity interferometry admits longer baselines in the optical and thus greater precision than traditional interferometry. I will describe the Extended-Path Intensity Correlator (EPIC): a proposed telescope array that extends the scope of intensity interferometry. Combined with advances in spectroscopy and single-photon detection\, EPIC can achieve unprecedented precision in astrometry with applications including exoplanet detection and black hole measurements.\n\nSecond is superradiance: stimulated emission of radiation from an absorbing body. I will discuss how rotating black holes\, through the process of superradiance\, become laboratories in the sky for ultralight bosons including the elusive QCD axion. When a boson's Compton wavelength is comparable to the horizon size of a black hole\, the black hole spins down and converts energy into an exponentially growing cloud of bosons. Depending on the bosons' interactions\, the resulting systems can be visible across the spectra: emitting gravitational wave radiation\, populating the galaxy with axion waves\, or appearing as novel pulsar-like objects in the sky.

This yields a general mechanism for producing new incidence theorems and generalizing the known ones. \n\nThis is joint work with Pavlo Pylyavskyy [arXiv:2305.07728].

This modification is driven by the reactivity of the Earth’s rocky shell in near-surface conditions. Modified (or altered) rocks contain information about former climates even in the deep-past (i.e.\, Archean) when traditional marine sedimentary proxies are challenged due to their proneness to resetting. The water-rock reactions can be traced through geological time using the isotope exchange between silicates [SiO 4- —based structures] and H 2 O\, where isotopes of O have masses 16\, 17 and 18 Dalton. In this quest\, my colleagues and I use O-isotopes as tracers of this fluid reactivity in shallow continental and oceanic crust. Using triple O-isotope geochemistry (δ′ 18 O and Δ′ 17 O) and in-situ isotope methods\, we have looked at some of the oldest examples of Yellowstone-type systems\, where the heat of magma and surface waters produced distinct low-δ¹⁸O altered rocks. Such materials represent a chemically resilient isotope fingerprint of ancient atmospheric precipitation that is in turn reflective of climate in distant geological past (i.e.\, in absence of better proxies). In the presentation I show a recent case study on a magmatic-hydrothermal complex of Neoarchean age that recorded precipitation with δ¹⁸O as low as -18 ‰. High-precision U-Pb zircon ages constrain this record at 2673.5 ± 0.3 Ma. This strategy is used to create temporally constrained quantitative climate reconstructions that aid understanding of continental landmass elevation\, relative plate orientation and atmospheric gas content. I will also present some of our recent work on marine sediments that are traditionally used for paleoclimate reconstructions but suffer from diagenetic alteration. Some recent progress on experimental bulk rock-water exchange will be highlighted. Using tectonic and triple O-isotope context\, I show that not every sample can be used to reflect Earth’s surface conditions in a straightforward manner. Instead\, a new set of questions can be designed to study crustal conditions with materials that are susceptible to alteration.

Parsons Lecture 2024: Water\, Copper\, Earth Beings\, and Empire: Late Prehispanic Political Ecology in the High-Altitude Atacama Desert DESCRIPTION:Late Intermediate Period (ca. 950 – 1400 AD) farmers in the high-altitude\, hyperarid Atacama Desert of northern Chile sustained their communities by carefully managing land\, water\, and flocks and by maintaining good relations with powerful\, tutelary earth beings (mallkus). When the Inka entered this area in the early 15th century\, they took over the region’s productive copper mines\, built roads and state installations\, and reconfigured agriculture. Our collaborative project\, which focuses on sites between the upper Loa and Salado rivers\, investigates farming in this seemingly marginal environment. We additionally explore how agriculture and social relations (between people\, and between people and mallkus) were transformed by Inka intervention in access to water and copper minerals\, two resources around which life in this region revolved in the past as in the present. A focus on these two substances helps us to understand local organization and transformations under Inka rule\, and at the same time\, requires us to rethink purely economic explanations for imperial incorporation and actions.\n\nFrances Hayashida is Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Latin American and Iberian Institute at the University of New Mexico. Throughout much of her career she has studied late prehispanic political economy and ecology in desert regions of the Andes\, first in Lambayeque on the north coast of Peru\, and more recently\, in the high-altitude Atacama of northern Chile. With Andres Troncoso and Diego Salazar\, of the Universidad de Chile\, she co-edited Rethinking the Inka: Community\, Landscape and Empire in the Southern Andes (2022\, University of Texas Press)\, which highlights the theoretically innovative and empirically rich research of South American scholars on the Inka in Qullasuyu\, the vast and diverse southern sector of the Inka Empire.

In this research area\, progress is made by studying simple theoretical models in detail\, understanding their principles\, and drawing lessons about the structure of space and time. The language of quantum computing and quantum information has proven indispensable for these studies and\, by now\, there is a fruitful interchange of ideas between these very different research areas.\n\nThis talk will focus on ideas in quantum computing\, like entanglement and quantum error correction\, concluding with how these ideas enter the modern understanding of space and time.

Join us for a conversation with AI and philosophy experts on the complexities of intelligence\, the nature of consciousness\, the role of theory of mind\, and the implications on AI’s (and AGI’s) evolving landscape. \n\nThere will be an interactive activity led by PhD graduate students Somayeh Molaei and Zilin Wang. \n\n\nPanelists: Peter Railton\, Benjamin Kuipers\, Rada Mihalcea\n\nPeter Railton \nPeter Railton is the Kavka Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan. His main research has been in ethics\, philosophy of science\, and moral psychology\, focusing especially on questions about value\, objectivity\, explanation\, and learning. His work includes Facts\, Values\, and Norms (Cambridge UP\, 2003)\, a collection of essays\, and Homo Prospectus (Oxford UP\, 2016)\, an interdisciplinary collaboration with philosophy\, psychology\, and cognitive science. In the last decade he has been increasingly active on questions concerning artificial intelligence and ethics\, work that includes the Uehiro Lectures at Oxford (https://www.practicalethics.ox.ac.uk/uehiro-lectures-2022) and various writings and podcasts.\n \nBenjamin Kuipers\nBenjamin Kuipers is a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. He came to Michigan from the University of Texas at Austin\, where he served as Department Chair. He received his B.A. from Swarthmore College\, his Ph.D. from MIT. His research in artificial intelligence and robotics focuses on the representation\, learning\, and use of foundational domains of knowledge\, including knowledge of space\, dynamical change\, objects\, and actions. He is currently investigating ethics as a foundational domain of knowledge for robots and other AIs that may act as members of human society.\n\n\nRada Mihalcea\nRada Mihalcea is the Janice M. Jenkins Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan and the Director of the Michigan Artificial Intelligence Lab.

With palpable force\, the dancers are propelled by distinct questions and burning desires. How memories travel through time and bodies – how they are unfixed and fallible\, how they destroy and heal\, and implicate uncertain futures – is a shared thread.\n\nRosanna Tavarez is on the dance faculty at California Institute of the Arts and is a BFA alum of the U-M Dance department.\n\nProgram Preview:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR6m19A_Fok UID:113742-21836725@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/113742 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Concert,Culture,Dance,In Person,Storytelling LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240104T121705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240202T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240202T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:Hyerim Lee\, piano DESCRIPTION:DMA student Hyerim Lee performs a recital.

They are committed to simply being themselves\, not chasing fame or brass rings\, while delighting in and connecting with their audiences as if they were family. The honesty of what they present onstage and the extensive body of outstanding original songs and recordings all contribute to a fiercely loyal audience that continues to grow. “Music to cure what ails you” was how one reviewer in the 1970s described them\, and that is as true now as it was then. They’ve traveled more than a million miles and performed more than 6\,000 shows\, from pig roasts and pool parties to Lincoln Center Out of Doors\, The Barns at Wolftrap and the Kennedy’s Center’s Millennium Stage. They’ve recently begun referring to their career and touring as “Defiantly Hopeful.” In part due to their long career\, but more as a statement about what the music has meant to them. “Folk music is\, at its heart\, defiantly hopeful!” founder David Tamulevich says. “We came of age in the 60s\, at the confluence of Pete Seeger\, Peter\, Paul & Mary\, Bob Dylan and the singer/songwriter revolution. We care much more about what we do and stand for and finding that common ground with our audiences\, than fame or money: this is our community of choice\, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to be here.” Tonight’s show features the Mustard’s Retreat 2.0 duo of Tamulevich and Libby Glover\, who come to The Ark with a new album\, “By Request.”\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4334/4335 for more detail.
