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. He currently serves on faculty at College for Creative Studies UID:116532-21837308@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:20240301T063248 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240215T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240215T100000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Reynolds American \"We are Hiring\" event Session 1 DESCRIPTION:We are hiring for Territory Managers at Reynolds American.

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. Maybe they are an invitation to speculate.\" UID:116414-21836790@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116414 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Black History Month,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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. 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:107870-21817730@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:20240215T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240215T200000 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.

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition.\n \nThis exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections\, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene\, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, U-M Office of the President\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and U-M Ross School of Business.\n  UID:114750-21833426@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Public Health,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - 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. Who knows\, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way\, too.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and the Oakriver Foundation.\n  UID:86001-21795811@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/86001 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Faculty,Museum,Nature,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240215T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240215T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. 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:84303-21621209@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:20240301T063313 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240215T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240215T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Career Exploration: Strategies & Resources (grad) DESCRIPTION:past event UID:118962-21841954@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/118962 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University Career Center, 3200 Student Activities Building, Program Room (3003), 515 E Jefferson St, Ann Arbor, MI, United States CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240215T102036 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240215T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240215T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Career Exploration: Strategies and Resources DESCRIPTION:This workshop will focus on resources you can leverage to explore career options\, as well as strategies to best position yourself for a variety of career trajectories.

Snacks and coffee will be available.\n\nAbstract: Complex networks are the syntax of complex systems\, and they give us a unique ability to understand a range of phenomena across nature and society. This broad field is reflected across my research program\, which spans projects that are highly theoretical in nature to others that are more applied—more focused on topics in public health\, public safety\, and justice. In the first part of this talk\, I will describe a theoretical and computational approach that allows us to ask whether a given network captures the most informative scale for understanding the underlying dynamics of a system. Here\, I present a series of papers that ask why we so often see multi-scale\, higher order structure emerge in complex systems\, based on a concept known as causal emergence. In the second part of the talk\, I highlight how these same ideas can be used to ask new questions about structural inequalities in society—ranging from the disparate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to racial disparities in the U.S. criminal legal system. I will close with a short discussion about how these two broad areas of research each contribute to my larger goal of creating a more useful network science\, one that provides the appropriate set of tools to study questions of complexity and society.\n\nBio: Brennan Klein is an associate research scientist at the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University\, where he studies complex systems across nature and society using tools from network science and statistics. His research sits in two broad areas: First\, he develops methods and theory for constructing\, reconstructing\, and comparing complex networks based on concepts from information theory and random graphs. Second\, he uses an array of interdisciplinary approaches to document—and combat—emergent or systemic disparities across society\, especially as they relate to public health and public safety. In addition to his role at Northeastern University\, Brennan is a senior research scientist at Verses AI—a startup specializing in networks and artificial intelligence. He is also the inaugural Data for Justice Fellow at the Institute on Policing\, Incarceration\, and Public Safety in the Hutchins Center for African and African American Studies at Harvard University. Brennan received a PhD in Network Science from Northeastern University in 2020 and a B.A. in Cognitive Science from Swarthmore College in 2014. Website: brennanklein.com.

Race is a socially constructed label\, without any biological or genetic basis. However\, on average\, Black Americans are much less healthy than White Americans and receive significantly poorer healthcare. Beyond the very strong moral reasons to reduce and eventually eliminate these disparities\, there are practical reasons as well. In the US\, the annual cost of racial health disparities is estimated to be over $451 billion. Louis Penner\, Ph.D. is a co-author of a recent book on the causes and consequences of these disparities\, \"Unequal Health: Anti-Black racism and the Threat to America’s Health” (Cambridge University Press). The core thesis of this book is that a significant contributor to these disparities is anti-Black racism. In his talk\, Dr Penner will talk about the origins of racism in the US and then discuss the ways in which racism endangers the health of Black Americans and the quality of the healthcare they receive. Finally\, he will discuss some potential solutions to this problem. Dr. Penner is an Adjunct Research Scientist at ISR's Research Center for Group Dynamics and an Emeritus Professor of Oncology at Wayne State University School of Medicine. His research team was among the first to document the role of implicit racial bias in racial healthcare inequities. This research has been supported by the National Cancer Institute and other National Institutes.

It is a system of hierarchy and inequity primarily characterized by white supremacy—the preferential treatment\, privilege\, and power for white people at the expense of other racially oppressed people. It is also important to recognize that racism is a global issue and continues to be perpetuated in societies across the globe and it manifests in many different ways at various levels. This anti-racism workshop in an abroad context aims to offer an entryway for students to engage in observing how racism plays out in different societies outside the United States\, utilizing examples\, particularly media representation\, that may reflect deeper messages\, and what it means to be anti-racist for American students who have been abroad\, or may be visiting\, studying\, or traveling abroad.\nThis workshop will engage participants in the following activities:\n\nBetter understanding of the phrase “anti-racism”\nLearning about race and its nuances\nRecognizing how culture can shape the development of racism and power structures\nSeeing how media around the world uphold oppression in different ways\nCreating action steps toward actively recognizing oppression abroad\n\nThis workshop is designed for U-M master’s students\, doctoral students\, and postdoctoral scholars on all three campuses\; therefore\, only U-M graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are permitted to register for this workshop.

The high temperatures required to create crystalline silicon devices\, however\, has limited the application of crystalline silicon to sensing systems that work in a small and mechanically rigid form factor. The development of inorganic and organic thin film electronics has launched a second revolution in electronics\, granting the ability to process electronically active materials at low temperatures. This has allowed for two exciting opportunities: the ability to build electronic devices on the same size scale as the systems they interact with\, and the ability to integrate electronic materials on a range of substrates including the back-end of CMOS integrated circuits\, electronically active substrates\, and flexible materials.\n\n\nOur group has been working on the hybrid integration of organic semiconductors\, thin film piezoelectrics\, and laser-recrystallized silicon with active substrates to implement a range of new functionalities. In this presentation\, I'll show how thin film electronics and the hybrid integration enabled by new semiconductor systems and process options allows for active and spatially localized control of systems that are typically used in a single element format. Devices we have developed include single chip PCR systems\, miniature spectrometers\, devices for blood flow analysis\, large area and miniature microphones\, integrated on-chip filters\, and active matrix micro-LED displays. These approaches unlock new applications in healthcare\, sensing\, displays\, and communications.\n\n\nBio:\n\n\nIoannis (John) Kymissis is the Kenneth Brayer Professor of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University and Chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering.

In this talk\, I will discuss the wealth of information we can learn from studying atmospheric escape in extrasolar planets. I will first discuss new frontiers in the characterization of hot Jupiter outflows: their three-dimensional morphologies are a remarkable new probe of star-planet interactions\, and they also offer an unanticipated way to study planetary isotopic compositions. Next\, I will introduce the idea that the hottest Neptune-sized planets are “hot Jupiters gone wrong:” multiple lines of evidence suggest that these are the exposed high-metallicity cores of gas giants that suffered catastrophic atmospheric loss. Finally\, I will discuss my efforts to extend atmospheric escape observations to Earth-sized exoplanets. Using observations from space telescopes and future ground-based facilities including the Extremely Large Telescope\, we will soon be able to contextualize the divergent evolutionary pathways of terrestrial planets in our own system.

This talk explores an alternative approach that reconstructs Earth history through biographies of individual organisms. From “life histories” recorded in the tusks of mastodons and mammoths\, paleobiologists investigate the drivers of species extinction at the end of the Ice Age. The scalar perspective that emerges from the interaction of fossilized animal traces and a scientific career offers a planetary imaginary individuals may relate to.\n\nPerrin works at the intersection of environmental history and Science & Technology Studies to understand how the global-scale environment became an existential crisis. He is the author of The Postwar Origins of the Global Environment: How the United Nations Built Spaceship Earth (2018). His current project\, “The Holocene Is History: Human Nature at the End of the Last Ice Age\,” received a Mellon New Directions Fellowship for retraining in the paleosciences. It explores how scientists from the late-nineteenth century to the present assembled fragmentary traces of the past to tell morally and politically fraught stories about the origins of civilization.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

On the contrary\, the experimental features arising from the band topology in the bulk remain relatively unexplored. In this talk\, I will discuss how spectroscopic properties away from the boundaries can be influenced by the Berry curvatures (BC) of Bogoliubov quasiparticle in a chiral p-wave Tsc achieved by spin-orbit coupling. Beyond the more well-known momentum-space BC effect\, I will show that a new phase-space BC term emerges under an applied magnetic field\, exclusively when the spin-orbit coupling and superconductivity coexist. Importantly\, this novel BC term leads to qualitative modifications in energy- and momentum-resolved tunneling spectroscopy. Such a BC effect can be sizably amplified by the strength of spin-orbit coupling and the applied field\, offering a new potentially detectable experimental feature in a chiral p-wave Tsc.

Plautus’ comedies are full of geographical detail. For example\, characters regularly arrive from and depart on extended journeys across the Mediterranean\; all the plays are set in various Greek locales but also blend in local Italian references\; and speakers regularly concoct fantastical\, punny placenames\, even during serious moments. Most scholars evaluate such elements on the assumption that Plautus' plays were performed in Rome and\, therefore\, express a Roman perspective. This causes intractable literary and historical problems\, however. Moreover\, evidence for this Roman-centric limit is slim. If we remove it and consider the plays from the perspective of their original audience (so far as we are able)\, many of the more perplexing references—the “local(e) jokes” of my title—emerge as artifacts of a mobile performance tradition\; that is\, a kind of “expandable” comic routine that performers inserted and adapted depending on the venue.\n\nHans Bork is an Assistant Professor of Classics at Stanford University. His main research interests include humor and insult in the comedies of Plautus\, various performance features of Latin comedy\, and the sociolinguistics of ancient Italian languages.

Dr. Namirovsky is professor of piano at the Central Conservatory in Beijing.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\nRussian-American pianist and pedagogue MISHA NAMIROVSKY has been praised as a “master of his art” (*The Norderstedter Zeitung* – Hamburg)\, and a “lyrical poet” (*Die Rheinpfalz* – Frankfurt)\; his playing hailed as “incredibly musical and sensitive\, yet at the same time transparent and precise (Klassik.TV).” His vivid and sensitive performances are appreciated by critics and audiences alike – following a recent recital in Paris\, French pianist and musicologist Eric Heidsieck wrote of Namirovsky’s “colors and clarity” and “extreme virtuosity and controlled passion.”\n\nNamirovsky is a laureate of several international competitions\, including the prestigious German Piano Award in Frankfurt\, Chopin Koscuiszco Foundation Competition in New York\, the Pro Musicis award in Paris\, the Gran Prix at Italy’s Cantu Competition and first prize at the Louisiana International Piano Competition\, among others. He has appeared in the world's most renowned concert halls\, including Carnegie Hall in New York\, Jordan Hall in Boston\, Salle Cortot in Paris\, Great Conservatory Hall in Moscow\, Alte Oper in Frankfurt\, Shanghai Symphony Hall\, and Mirai Hall in Yokohama\, Japan as well as the prestigious Miami International Piano Festival.\n\nHe has collaborated\, among others\, with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra\; The Conservatory Orchestra of Cuba\; Sendai Philharmonic Orchestra in Japan\; Novaya Rossiya Symphony\, Nizhnii Novgorod Philharmonic\, and the Capella Symphony Orchestra in Russia\; the Niederbayernphilharmonie in Germany\; and New Britain and Atlantic Symphony Orchestras in Boston. Recent performances included a solo tour in China titled \"tribute to my teachers\" and another upcoming tour will focus on Rachmaninoff as composer\, pianist\, arranger.\n\nA passionate and prolific chamber musician\, Namirovsky has participated in the celebrated Marlboro Festival in Vermont and the Eastern Music Festival in North Carolina. As the pianist in Namirovsky-Lark-Pae trio alongside violinist Tessa Lark and cellist Deborah Pae\, Namirovsky won the silver prize at the preeminent Fischoff Chamber Music Competition in Indiana and the trio has performed at New York’s Chamber Music Live concerts as well as for the Music for Food Foundation in Boston. As a recipient of the Tarisio Grant\, the trio recorded their debut album for the TYXart label\, featuring trios by Frank Bridge and Johannes Brahms\, which has earned the destination as the best chamber music album from Fono Forum Magazine in Germany. Other prominent collaborations include Lu Siding\, Peter Wiley\, Arnold Steinhardt\, Sarah Beaty\, Amir Eldan\, and Alexander Suleiman.\n\nA devoted teacher\, Namirovsky is steeped in the illustrious Russian pedagogical tradition. Former professor Hung-Kuan Chen called Namirovsky “a serious musician and excellent pianist\; in addition he is a wonderful teacher with marvelous energy and awareness.” Other important teachers include Solomon Mikowsky and Eliso Virsaladze (herself a student of Yakov Zak and Heinrich Neuhaus)\; further influences are Mitsuko Uchida\, Alfred Brendel and Peter Weiley. Namirovsky regularly gives masterclasses in the USA (Oberlin College\, Northwestern University of Louisiana\, Queens College)\, Spain (Santander Conservatory)\, and China (Xinghai Conservatory\, Xian Conservatory\, and others). Namirovsly is a regular guest at several summer festivals including Neuburg Academy (Germany) Noja Festival and Gijon Piano Festival (Spain).\n\nMisha Namirovsky holds degrees from the Manhattan School of Music\, Yale University and Munich Musikhochschule.

Wong have argued that despite the fact that the nineteenth-century British studies represents “a period and geographical center that consolidated a modern idea of race” Victorian studies ironically “lacks a robust account of race and racialization” (370). This paper turns to the immensely popular representation of liminal and illegible racial bodies on the Victorian stage as a way of complicating our understanding of Victorian theories of “race and racialization.” While\, as Daniel Hack and others have pointed out\, the Victorians were interested in plots of “unwitting passing and discovered identity\,” a number of popular operas and plays in the 1840s and 50s focused on reverse passing. Rather than expose an invisible blackness as many (conscious or unconscious) passing plays\, these plays and operas expose a hidden and invisible *whiteness*. I focus on Edmund Falconer’s *The Cagot: Or\, Heart to Heart* (1856) which centers on an ethnic group of unknown origin\, unclear history\, and ambiguous race found in the Pyrenees\, on the west-coast of France and in the Basque region of Spain. At the same time\, the Cagots were characterized by an *excessive* whiteness. Rather than simply dramatize the failure to identify a core racial ‘essence’ (whether black or white) invisible on the surface of the body or on stage\, *The Cagot* at once asks audiences to see whiteness as a form of racial difference while also undermining a theory of racial embodiment based on differences in skin color (visible or invisible). In the end\, it argues for a form of racial difference and familial affiliation that are not only performative but voluntary. Taken together\, these popular plays suggest that the Victorians were drawn to representations of the instability of the very racial structures that the they are credited with creating and maintaining.\n\nBio: \nDaniel A.

Interactions with even the most ubiquitous\, low-tech materials can reveal amazing facets of our reality. This is because these radically minimalist structures still behave in concert with the physical and social forces which structure our world. With no hidden parts\, humble paper can act as a direct interface on sound\, light\, and time\; making these abstractions tangible and accessible\, in a way that more black-box tech obscures. It can show us what it means to be human.\n\nKelli Anderson is an artist\, designer and paper engineer who pushes the boundaries of ordinary materials and formats by seeking out hidden possibilities in the physical and digital world. In 2008\, she worked as part of a team to distribute a recreated copy of The New York Times — filled entirely with articles from a Utopian future. The group won the Ars Electronica Prix Award of Distinction for their work. In 2011\, she created a paper record player that garnered major attention from numerous media outlets including Mashable\, Kottke\, Slashdot\, Make\, PCWorld\, Swiss Miss\, Wired\, the Toronto Star\, and NPR. Her work has been published by Wired UK\, Gestalten\, Rockport Publishing\, iDN\, How Design Magazine\, and Hemispheres Magazine. In 2011\, she left her position as a digital collections photographer at the American Museum of Natural History to focus on independent work. Her live/work space houses a 1919 letterpress and “an assortment of other benevolent contraptions.” \n\nAnderson’s talk will focus on her paper engineering work\, her continued risograph animation experimentation\, and using paper as an interface on the physical world.

In it\, Banno tries to mix things up with an eco-critical theme and flights of animation. This was from the kids' *Gozilla* era\, so it may not be horrifying\; however\, it's immensely pleasurable.\n\nMore about the film series at https://michtheater.org/cjs-film-series-2024\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at wugou@umich.edu.

DESCRIPTION:New songwriting from the Keweenaw and Ann Arbor\nAni Mari is a 20-year-old Americana folk singer-songwriter from the northwoods of the Keweenaw Peninsula. Her genre-bending music and lyrics are old on soul\, sharp as a tack\, and full of whimsy—weaving complex chord progressions with heart-wrenching stories and melodies. A student at the University of Michigan\, Ani currently lives and performs in Ann Arbor with her band\, Ani Mari & Co. Before moving downstate\, Ani mainly played with her folk duo\, Ani & Kora\, with whom she has released two full albums and one EP of her original songs and has been touring with since she was 12 years old. Ani & Kora’s most recent album\, “Good Fighter\,” was recorded in 2021 with Americana artist and producer Erik Koskinen\, and released in March of 2022. Her new album\, “girlfriend\,” \,is Ani’s solo debut\, recorded with her band last summer in the Twin Cities. All ten songs are the product of Ani’s songwriting during her first two years at college and explore the uncertainty of entering her 20s\, love gained\, love lost\, and the beauty of living in the moment. Since she’s more committed to the songwriting than sticking to a specific genre\, “girlfriend” spans from northwoods folk to pop punk.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4555/4556 for more detail.

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:116532-21837309@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:20240206T083701 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T100000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Psychology Methods Hour: \"Uncovering urgency in daily life: Testing a novel method for assessing affect-impulsivity cooccurrence in momentary data\" DESCRIPTION:Impulsivity and urgency\, a facet of impulsivity defined as the tendency to engage in impulsive behavior when experiencing strong emotions\, have wide-ranging implications for physical and mental health. Research on urgency\, however\, is at a crossroads. On the one hand\, there is an extensive body of research on trait self-reports of urgency\, suggesting that urgency is a valid and robust construct. On the other hand\, more recent work using ambulatory assessment methods has suggested that trait self-reports of urgency are unrelated to state urgency\, assessed as the covariance between people’s experienced emotions and impulsivity in the moment. In this Methods Hour talk\, we will discuss some of the challenges with assessing urgency in the moment as well as the potential implications of a novel conceptualization of state urgency. Are state and trait urgency different constructs? Are trait measures of urgency truly capturing the theorized construct? How is state urgency best assessed in the moment?

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability.

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. Who knows\, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way\, too.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and the Oakriver Foundation.\n  UID:86001-21795812@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/86001 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Faculty,Museum,Nature,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240212T160824 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Seminar Series: Dogyoon Song\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department\, University of Michigan DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Accurate and reliable prediction of outcomes is essential for decision-making across various domains such as healthcare\, finance\, and autonomous driving. Today’s data-rich landscape offers unprecedented opportunities for enhancing predictions to inform actionable decisions. While various statistical and machine learning (ML) approaches have been improving data-driven predictions and decisions\, challenges remain in providing both a robust theoretical foundation and versatility to handle large\, complex data. To address this critical gap\, my research aims to advance the decision-making process by integrating ML algorithms with statistical principles. This integration will not only strengthen the fundamental aspects of ML approaches\, but also create versatile\, reliable ML methods\, ultimately empowering decision-makers in real-world scenarios.\n\nIn this seminar\, I will present two research projects demonstrating the synergy between statistics and ML. The first focuses on developing predictive methods resilient to data corruption and complex response variables\, by addressing errors-in-variables regression with a metric-space-valued response. This work highlights the synergy between ML approach and statistical modeling for versatile prediction with error mitigation. The second focuses on increasing decision reliability through calibrated predictions. Reexamining classical concepts in calibration\, we propose a holistic viewpoint for probability calibration\, yielding a distribution-free probability calibration method with judicious parameter selection. These studies underscore the potentials of integrating statistical rigor and advanced ML algorithms to elevate the accuracy\, reliability\, and efficiency of decision-making processes in diverse applications. Time permitting\, I will conclude the talk by sharing a glimpse into my ongoing efforts and future research directions.

Open to Faculty\, Admin/Staff\, and Postdocs. Some sessions open to Graduate Students.\n\nABOUT THIS EVENT\nProject management skills are essential for the success of community-engaged projects\, yet formal instruction of these skills is often not included in the preparation that students receive for community-engaged assignments\, research\, and projects. In this workshop for faculty and staff\, participants will learn about prerequisite project management skills that students need to know before they enter into community-engaged projects. From effective communication strategies to project onboarding templates\, we’ll identify pedagogical strategies for teaching these key skills to students\, improving coordination with community stakeholders\, and supporting the continued development of students' project management skills as a community-engaged project unfolds. Guest speakers Bri Christy (Community Technical Assistance Collaborative at Ginsberg Center) and Caitlin Posillico (LSA Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences) will highlight practices for students in course and program-based projects\, showing how traditional project management techniques can be adapted for these contexts.\n\nFor details & registration: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/13803 UID:116174-21836373@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116174 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Community Engagement,Faculty,Free,Graduate Students,Postdoctoral Research Fellows,Professional Development,Research,Staff,Workshop LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240302T003149 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Join Army Civilian Careers at the 38th BEYA STEM Conference CareerFair DESCRIPTION:You are invited to visit the Army Civilian Careers booth (#901) at the 38th Black Engineer of the Year Awards (BEYA) STEM Conference Career Fair taking place on Friday (10am-4pm)\, February 16th & Saturday (10am-4pm)\, February 17th\, 2024\, IN-PERSON at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore\, Maryland. \n\nWe are seeking driven\, high-performing teammates\, and we will provide opportunities to apply your talent to make apositive difference through meaningful work.

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:84303-21621210@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:20240219T000025 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event: Commonwealth Cup Weekend 1 DESCRIPTION:BFly's first tournament of 2024 UID:118279-21840821@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/118279 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Smith River Sports Complex CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240212T160421 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:2024 Undergraduate Juried Exhibition DESCRIPTION:The Stamps School’s annual Undergraduate Juried Exhibition is a showcase of outstanding work produced by Stamps undergraduate students taking place at Stamps Gallery from February 9-24\, 2024. \nA highly anticipated Stamps School tradition\, the objectives of the Undergraduate Juried Exhibition are: \nTo encourage and inspire undergraduates to create high-caliber and ambitious artwork.To create an opportunity where all undergraduates can develop the experience\, knowledge\, and skills in preparing an application for a juried exhibition.To foster a vibrant culture of participating in exhibitions and public programs at Stamps School.

To address this question\, Queer Focus will have seven 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 4 of the series will take a legal and political perspective on queer studies within the region. * UID:117923-21840195@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/117923 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:eastern europe,Gender,International LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240111T102340 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T123000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Critical Conversations: Visuality DESCRIPTION:In the first thematic Critical Conversations panel of the winter term\, speakers from across disciplines and programs will present 6-8 minute flash talks on the topic of “Visuality” with a Q&A following.

For decades\, those concerned with the information environment have understandably focused on mass media\, but many Americans do not learn about politics from direct engagement with the news. Indeed\, about one-third of Americans learn about politics from socially transmitted information they acquire from conversations with others and social media. How does socially transmitted information differ from information communicated by mass media? And what are the consequences for political behavior? Drawing on evidence from experiments\, surveys\, and social media\, Carlson finds that\, as information flows from the media to person to person\, it becomes sparse\, more biased\, less accurate\, and more mobilizing. This results in distorted democracy. Although socially transmitted information does not necessarily render democracy dysfunctional\, it does contribute to a public that is at once underinformed\, polarized\, and engaged.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/bymr9\n\nDance\, song and the performing arts are often overlooked in studies of war and diaspora. Yet synchronized rhythmic movement promotes group coherence within all cultures\, religions and nations\, and holds potential for expressing both political resistance and national coherence. Drawing from long-term ethnographic fieldwork and dance training in Northern Thailand amongst forcibly displaced Tai (Shan) migrants from Myanmar\, this talk attends to how dance\, song and theatre practice reinvigorate stateless people’s desire for self-determination in ways that challenge the current nation-state paradigm. For Tai exiles\, ethnic nationalism is produced through the work of dance and through shared rhythmic and aesthetic structures of sentiment towards the Tai nation – which produce powerful political affects and effects. Aesthetic Nationalism argues that displaced peoples do not maintain their sense of nation primarily through capital and reading publics\, but rather through the complex transmission of what may be called “aesthetic nationalisms\,” which involve performances and cultural practices that produce enduring bonds to an imagined homeland.\n \n The in-progress book project\, Aesthetic Nationalism argues that the nation\, for countless peoples in exile\, is often carried through the body and continuously forged via the rhythmic work of performance and theater\, in addition to discourse\, language and signification. This is a story of how fractured nations seek to maintain themselves by enmeshing acts of defiance and persistence in art and in performance.\n\n Tani Sebro is a political and dance ethnographer who has conducted over two years field research along the Thai-Myanmar border. Currently an Associate Professor of Global Politics at Cal Poly Humboldt\, she is the recipient of a Fulbright-ASEAN Fellowship and is a UC Berkeley SEALIVES grantee.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

A native of Croswell\, Michigan\, Mark graduated from LSA in 1980 with majors in Economics and History. Upon graduation\, he relocated to St. Louis\, Missouri where he completed his Master of Business Administration from Fontbonne University with a dual concentration in Finance and Information Systems. Acknowledging the lack of job satisfaction after nearly 30 years working in the private sector\, Mark made the bold decision to pivot\, accepting the opportunity to help stand up United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) as its first Division Chief for Cyber Risk Management\, responsible for the analysis of current and future DoD and Federal risk management and C4 (command\, control\, communications\, and computer/cyber) direction for USCYBERCOM and DoD leadership teams. \n\nMark’s federal career has been a robust journey of building infrastructure for novel governmental management of emerging national threats and then leading in those nascent spaces. Mark joined the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) to manage standup activities for the Cyber-Counterintelligence division in 2013. He was a founding member responsible for projects and initiatives related to the establishment of the Defense Insider Threat Management and Analysis Center (DITMAC) in 2014. He did the same for the Defense Vetting Directorate and Program Executive Office (PEO) in 2018. As the first Technical Director of the PEO\, Mark oversaw the incorporation and advancement in integration of innovative technologies\, including practical applications of artificial intelligence. Now as Advisor of Technical Strategy for the PEO\, Mr. Nehmer is responsible for the development and evolution of technical capabilities within the DCSA.\n\nMark’s work is not limited to the typical notions of national defense that the media and entertainment industries tend to draw attention to. In the advancement of stress and risk assessment technology\, the development of artificial intelligence and its implementation in DCSA is further being evaluated for identifying those within the military and civilian populations who may be at risk of harming themselves. Mr. Nehmer is proud that his contributions in utilization of these evolving technologies will not only bolster national security\, but will impact and save millions of lives\, such as through pre-crisis ​intervention and suicide ​​prevention.\n\nMake an appointment or drop by the Opportunity Hub to meet with Mark on Friday\, February 16 from 12pm to 3pm. You can inquire further about his story\, get advice for entering federal service\, find out where or how to start looking for internships that will best prepare you for entering federal service at the highest grade and step possible! Mark is truly passionate about how life-changing his jump to federal service has been\, and he wants to help guide Wolverines as they consider and navigate the possibilities. Don’t forget to invite a friend and join us for this Alum in Residence opportunity!

Moreover\, the ability to operate at the interface of mathematical modeling\, technology development\, and biology created a unique opportunity to ask challenging questions in cross-functional teams.\n\nSpecifically\, recent advances in single cell biology and human genetics have enabled profiling transcriptomics of healthy and diseased individuals leading to the discoveries of gene programs and genetic variants associated with disease. However\, we lack robust pipelines to understand the function of implicated genes and to place those genes in directional cellular and tissue circuits. We are uniquely suited to bring together emerging multimodal single cell technologies and advances in CRISPR screening to map genetic circuits in unprecedented resolution thus opening new questions and unlocking new therapeutic potential.

Hillforts represent the archetype site of Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age societies in Europe and the Balkans. These strategically located\, prominent\, and fortified sites are traditionally argued to be the result of feuding tribes and places of shelter and refuge in times of conflict. This is an interpretation that has remained largely unchanged until recently\, following critical shifts in archaeological theory\, method\, and interpretation inspired by post-colonial and de-colonial thought. In this vein\, I argue that a re-examining and redefining of the conventional understanding of hillforts is greatly overdue\, especially in the Balkan context. Drawing on surface collections and magnetometry surveys conducted in July 2021\, along with excavations conducted in 2022 and 2023 at the sites of Lubozhdë and Syriganë\, this talk presents the preliminary attempt to synthesize the results of my dissertation research in the Dukagjin Plains and bring these findings in conversation with border questions of settlement\, mobility and landscape interactions in the region. Moreover\, this presentation focuses on the very different artifact profiles produced by these two hillforts and begins to explore the varying roles they filled within their landscape over time.

Inverse backscattering is an interdisciplinary field driven by applications in geophysical exploration\, radar imaging\, non-destructive evaluation of materials\, etc. There are two types of methods:\n\n(1) Qualitative (imaging) methods\, which address the simpler problem of locating reflective\nstructures in a known host medium.\n\n(2) Quantitative methods\, also known as velocity estimation. Typically\, velocity estimation is\nformulated as a PDE constrained optimization\, where the data are fit in the least squares sense by\n\nthe wave computed at the search wave speed. The increase in computing power has lead to growing interest in this approach\, but there is a fundamental impediment\, which manifests especially for high frequency data: The objective function is not convex and has numerous local minima even in the absence of noise. The main goal of the talk is to introduce a novel approach to\nvelocity estimation\, based on a reduced order model (ROM) of the wave operator. The ROM is called\ndata driven because it is obtained from the measurements made at the sensors. The mapping between these measurements and the ROM is nonlinear\, and yet the ROM can be computed efficiently using methods from numerical linear algebra. More importantly\, the ROM can be used to define a better objective function for velocity estimation\, so that gradient based optimization can succeed even for a poor initial guess.\n\n(Joint work with Josselin Garnier\, Alexander Mamonov and John Zimmerling)\n\nContact: AIM Seminar Organizers UID:114764-21833579@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114764 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240125T102221 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T163000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Buddhist Perspectives on Grief and Language: DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate dialogue between Chenxing Han and Buddhist studies scholar Dr. Lang Chen about religious perspectives on grief\, culturally attuned care for the dying\, and the literary entanglements of translation in Asian and Asian American contexts. The conversation will be grounded in Chenxing’s recent book\, *one long listening: a memoir of grief\, friendship\, and spiritual care* (North Atlantic Books\, 2023)\, and will also touch on May We Gather\, a national Buddhist memorial of resilience\, recovery\, and repair.\n\nChenxing Han is the author of *Be the Refuge: Raising the Voices of Asian American Buddhists*\; *one long listening: a memoir of grief\, friendship\, and spiritual care*\; and numerous articles and book chapters for both academic and mainstream audiences. She is a frequent speaker and workshop leader at schools\, universities\, and Buddhist communities across the nation\, and currently serves as the Khyentse Visitor in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan.\n\nLang Chen received her Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies from Yale University in 2015 and her Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School in 2006. Her research focused on Chinese literati’s creative use of Buddhism for literary innovation as well as spiritual liberation from the early modern period (16–17th century) onwards. She also studied the idea of “happiness” from Chinese and Buddhist perspectives. Lang is currently enrolled in the Master of Social Work program at the University of Michigan and working as an intern therapist at the Counseling and Psychological Services of the university. She was a caregiver of her late husband\, who fought cancer heroically.

In particular\, higher-frequency GWs can give rise to new classes of electromagnetic signals that can be searched for with small-scale detectors. A gauge-invariant description shows that existing experiments designed for the detection of axion dark matter only need to reanalyze existing data to search for such signals. I will also discuss how electromagnetic cavities can operate as exquisite mechanical to electromagnetic converters\, enabling a broader search across orders of magnitude of unexplored parameter space.

See below for info on each lecture\n\nSpeaker 1: Jeronimo Morales Toledo\nTitle: \"Bisexual Climbers of Araceae In Deep Time: A Reexamination of Arthmiocarpus hesperus from the Late Cretaceous of South Dakota\"\nAbstract: \nThe study and re-evaluation of Cretaceous fossil plants offers insights to the early evolution of angiosperms prior to the establishment of modern ecosystems. Araceae display significant eco-morphological diversity (e.g.\, geophytes\, climbers\, epiphytes\, helophytes\, and free-floating aquatics)\, with their fossil record dating back to the Early Cretaceous (110 to 120 Ma). However\, confidently assigned aroid fossils before the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction are limited to early divergent lineages (Orontioideae and Lemnoideae)\, hindering our understanding of the historical evolution of aroid subfamilies over deep time. This study focuses on Arthmiocarpus hesperus (Wieland) Delevoryas\, a permineralized fossil from the Late Cretaceous Fox Hills Sandstone of South Dakota. Previously classified as a drupe from the fig family (Moraceae)\, it exhibits features consistent with Araceae. Through thin-sectioning and X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT)\, we conducted a detailed examination resulting in 3D reconstructions of the seed and characterizing structures in multiple planes of section. Furthermore\, we created a de novo character database by analyzing 300 species of fruits with μCT for fruit\, seed and embryo morphology. This process resolved conflicting interpretations of fruit-seed morphology and anatomy\, allowing us to identify additional characters useful for refining taxonomic affinities.The helically arranged sessile berries on a central spadix confirm affinities to Araceae\, and features of the fruits and seeds such as berries with fibrous pericarp and stylar region\, thick stylar region\, a smooth seed coat\, and a monocotyledonous L-shaped embryo suggest it is most closely related to members within the subfamily Monsteroideae. However\, Arthmiocarpus presents a unique set of characters that differentiates it from extant and extinct members of Araceae. This investigation exemplifies how the subfamilies of extant angiosperms were integral components of Cretaceous ecosystems prior to the K-Pg mass extinction\, contributing to the establishment of modern ecosystems.\n\nSpeaker 2: Paul Den Uyl\nTitle: \"Genetic Characterization of Saxitoxin Producing Cyanobacteria Associated with Western Lake Erie Harmful Algal Blooms\"\nAbstract:\nSaxitoxins (STXs) are neurotoxins produced in both freshwater and marine systems and are among the most potent known natural toxins. While genes encoding STX biosynthesis have been observed in Lake Erie\, the organism(s) responsible for producing STXs in the region have not been confirmed. We used metagenomic tools to identify a full suite of STX biosynthesis genes in a high-quality metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) from the Anabaena-Dolichospermum-Aphanizomenon (ADA) clade of cyanobacteria. The order and sequence of sxt genes suggest the Lake Erie MAG is likely capable of producing saxitoxin (STX) and dicarbamoyl (dcSTX) congeners. The absence of a sxtX gene suggests an inability to produce neoSTX\, one of the most potent variants of STX. \n\n\nSpeaker 3: Andrés Felipe Gonzalez Duran\nTitle: \"Understanding mineral deposits in the Americas. \nBrief summary: Overview of recent advancements on ore deposits in the Western margin of the Americas\, including copper and gold in Canada and Chile\, as well as emeralds in the Colombian Andes\" UID:108201-21819105@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/108201 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Natural Sciences LOCATION:1100 North University Building - 1528 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240214T121536 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T153000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Women's Track & Field vs Silverston Invitational DESCRIPTION:Women's Track & Field vs Silverston Invitational UID:117183-21838793@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/117183 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240212T185227 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240216T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ACLU Criminal Justice Reform Panel DESCRIPTION:Speakers will include Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit and Emma Stammen from The Bail Project.

Where Empires Meet: Borderland Cosmopolitanisms in the Late Antique and Medieval Middle East DESCRIPTION:In the third book of The Buildings\, the sixth-century Roman historian Procopius of Caesarea offers us a glimpse into what life was like in the borderlands between Rome and Persia. Just west of Lake Van in Greater Armenia\, he describes how the borderlands of the two empires “lay together promiscuously (ἀναμὶξ)” (Procopius Buildings 3.3.9). Procopius seems to have intended this sexual double entendre to be taken quite literally\, for he adds that those who lived here in the district of Kars\, whether Roman or Persian subjects\, lived together peacefully: they would come together to go to market\, share their farms with each other\, and even marry one another (Procopius Buildings 3.3.10).\n \nAlthough Procopius is critical of such “promiscuity” between Romans and Persians\, his description suggests that the borderlands of early medieval Armenia were both a cosmopolitan and a contested space\, where individuals cultivated vernacular cosmopolitanisms in their day-to-day lives at the interstices of empires. By bringing together specialists from across the academy who study the diverse languages\, literatures\, and cultures of the spaces where empires meet\, this workshop seeks to excavate commingled lives in the borderlands of Armenia and Syria in the late antique and medieval Middle East. In particular\, it seeks to shed new light on the practices of non-elites across these borderland zones. It is often repeated\, for instance\, that premodern Armenia and Syria were places in-between–but what did that in-betweenness look like on the ground? How did Armenians\, Syrians\, and others navigate “borders\,” let alone their shifting relationships to Rome and Persia\, in light of the border? Finally\, where do borders get crossed\, and how might such crossings inform theoretical and methodological approaches to studying these complex regions today?\n\nSchedule of Events\n\nFebruary 16 | Weiser Hall 555 (in-person) and on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95833364188 (virtual)\n\n4:00 pm - 6:00 pm | Keynote Address — Kate Franklin (Birkbeck\, University of London)\, Between Ecumene and Ecology: Armenians on the Silk Road and More-than-Human Cosmopolitanism\n\nFebruary 17 | Weiser Hall 555 (in person only)\n\n9:15 am - 9:30 am | Introductory Remarks\n\n9:30 am - 11:00 am | Panel I: Cosmopolitanisms Along and Across the Borders of Rome in Late Antiquity\n\nRespondent: Anna Bonnell Freidin (University of Michigan)\n\nJames Wolfe (University of Michigan) \"Segmentation\, Enclaves\, and Forgotten Borders: Navigating the Borderless Borderlands of The Late Roman Near East\"\n\nWalter Beers (Hamilton College) \"Seeing like a Monastery: Cop'k'/Sophene as Syro-Armenian Borderland in John of Ephesus' Lives of the Eastern Saints\"\n\n11:00 am - 11:15 am | Break\n\n11:15 am - 12:45 pm | Panel II: Multilingual Communities at the Crossroads of the Medieval Middle East\n\nRespondent: Kathryn Babayan (University of Michigan)\n\nPolina Ivanova (Justus Liebig University Giessen) \"An Invisible Frontier?

Where Empires Meet: Borderland Cosmopolitanisms in the Late Antique and Medieval Middle East DESCRIPTION:In the third book of The Buildings\, the sixth-century Roman historian Procopius of Caesarea offers us a glimpse into what life was like in the borderlands between Rome and Persia. Just west of Lake Van in Greater Armenia\, he describes how the borderlands of the two empires “lay together promiscuously (ἀναμὶξ)” (Procopius Buildings 3.3.9). Procopius seems to have intended this sexual double entendre to be taken quite literally\, for he adds that those who lived here in the district of Kars\, whether Roman or Persian subjects\, lived together peacefully: they would come together to go to market\, share their farms with each other\, and even marry one another (Procopius Buildings 3.3.10).\n \nAlthough Procopius is critical of such “promiscuity” between Romans and Persians\, his description suggests that the borderlands of early medieval Armenia were both a cosmopolitan and a contested space\, where individuals cultivated vernacular cosmopolitanisms in their day-to-day lives at the interstices of empires. By bringing together specialists from across the academy who study the diverse languages\, literatures\, and cultures of the spaces where empires meet\, this workshop seeks to excavate commingled lives in the borderlands of Armenia and Syria in the late antique and medieval Middle East. In particular\, it seeks to shed new light on the practices of non-elites across these borderland zones. It is often repeated\, for instance\, that premodern Armenia and Syria were places in-between–but what did that in-betweenness look like on the ground? How did Armenians\, Syrians\, and others navigate “borders\,” let alone their shifting relationships to Rome and Persia\, in light of the border? Finally\, where do borders get crossed\, and how might such crossings inform theoretical and methodological approaches to studying these complex regions today?\n\nSchedule of Events\n\nFebruary 16 | Weiser Hall 555 (in-person) and on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95833364188 (virtual)\n\n4:00 pm - 6:00 pm | Keynote Address — Kate Franklin (Birkbeck\, University of London)\, Between Ecumene and Ecology: Armenians on the Silk Road and More-than-Human Cosmopolitanism\n\nFebruary 17 | Weiser Hall 555 (in person only)\n\n9:15 am - 9:30 am | Introductory Remarks\n\n9:30 am - 11:00 am | Panel I: Cosmopolitanisms Along and Across the Borders of Rome in Late Antiquity\n\nRespondent: Anna Bonnell Freidin (University of Michigan)\n\nJames Wolfe (University of Michigan) \"Segmentation\, Enclaves\, and Forgotten Borders: Navigating the Borderless Borderlands of The Late Roman Near East\"\n\nWalter Beers (Hamilton College) \"Seeing like a Monastery: Cop'k'/Sophene as Syro-Armenian Borderland in John of Ephesus' Lives of the Eastern Saints\"\n\n11:00 am - 11:15 am | Break\n\n11:15 am - 12:45 pm | Panel II: Multilingual Communities at the Crossroads of the Medieval Middle East\n\nRespondent: Kathryn Babayan (University of Michigan)\n\nPolina Ivanova (Justus Liebig University Giessen) \"An Invisible Frontier?

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).

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition.\n \nThis exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections\, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene\, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, U-M Office of the President\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and U-M Ross School of Business.\n  UID:114750-21833428@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Public Health,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - 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.

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:84303-21621211@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:20240111T092357 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240217T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240217T121500 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sea Monsters DESCRIPTION:The film follows a curious and adventurous Dolichorhynchops – familiarly known as a ‘dolly’ – as she travels through the most dangerous oceans in history.

From there\, we will get into some preparatory core work (plank\, boat pose hold + twists\, reverse tabletop\, hollow body hold\, etc.). After we are warm and the core is strong and stabilized\, we will learn how to build really fun backend poses like camel\, bow\, bridge + wheel\, king dancer\, etc. To cool down at the end\, we will do some restorative forward folds and twists before entering Savasana.

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).

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. 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:107870-21817733@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:20240218T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240218T200000 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.

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition.\n \nThis exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections\, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene\, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, U-M Office of the President\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and U-M Ross School of Business.\n  UID:114750-21833429@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Public Health,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - 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.

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:84303-21621212@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:20240111T092357 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240218T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240218T121500 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sea Monsters DESCRIPTION:The film follows a curious and adventurous Dolichorhynchops – familiarly known as a ‘dolly’ – as she travels through the most dangerous oceans in history.

These performances will include a new work choreographed by Jamar Roberts\, resident choreographer for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater\, and set to music by Rhiannon Giddens. The dance will be paired with Agnes de Mille’s 1942 classic Rodeo\; its iconic score by Aaron Copland has been reorchestrated for a bluegrass ensemble\, offering an expanded view of our cultural history and the influence of Black artists on American music and dance forms. Martha Graham’s final complete work\, Maple Leaf Rag\, rounds out the program.\n\nPROGRAM\nRodeo — The Courting at Burnt Ranch (Choreography by Agnes de Mille / Music by Aaron Copland in a new bluegrass arrangement by Gabe Witcher)\nNew Work (Jamar Roberts / Rhiannon Giddens)\nMaple Leaf Rag (Martha Graham / Scott Joplin) UID:109637-21822439@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/109637 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ann Arbor,Art,artists,arts,Classical,Culture,dance,Energy,Family,In Person,Mindfulness,multicultural,performance,UMS,university musical society LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240119T112517 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240218T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240218T150000 SUMMARY:Tours:Sunday Drop-In Tour | Images of Women in the Ancient World DESCRIPTION:This tour will explore artifacts from the ancient world that include images of women\, including goddesses and mortal women.

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.

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.

He holds a joint appointment in Cognitive Science and Computational Social Science. His research focuses on how humans and machines understand language\, and makes use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to test hypotheses about human cognition.\n\nUPDATE: Sean Trott will be joining us virtually for this event\, the presentation will still take place in East Hall 4448.\n\nSchedule\n11:00-11:30 am Foundations Presentation\n11:30-11:45 am Q & A\n—15 minute pizza break—\n12:00-12:50 pm Frontiers Presentation\n12:50-1:20 pm Q & A\n\nPresentation Abstract\nFoundations: Many debates in Cognitive Science—such as whether certain cognitive capacities are innate\, or acquired through specific experiential input—are entrenched and difficult to resolve. A new paradigm attempts to address these debates using Large Language Models (LLMs) to test competing theories of human cognition. In particular\, because (most) LLMs are trained on linguistic input alone\, they serve as useful baselines: measures of what kinds of behaviors and capacities could in principle emerge purely from exposure to statistical patterns in language. In this talk\, I discuss the motivations for such an approach\, and briefly survey several examples from the literature. Finally\, I discuss the relevant trade-offs and considerations that might inform a researcher's decision about whether to use LLMs in their own research\, including: the amount (and quality) of data an LLM has been trained on\, issues of construct validity\, and multimodal models.\n\nFrontiers: Humans often reason about the mental states of others\, even when those mental states diverge from their own. The ability to reason about false beliefs—part of the broader constellation abilities that make up \"Theory of Mind\"—is viewed by many as playing a crucial role in social cognition. Yet there is considerable debate about whether this ability comes from. Some theories emphasize the role of innate biological endowments\, while others emphasize the role of experience. In this talk\, I consider a hypothesis about a specific kind of experience: language. To test this \"language exposure hypothesis\"\, I use GPT-3\, a Large Language Model (LLM) trained on linguistic input alone\, and ask whether and to what extent such a system displays evidence consistent with Theory of Mind. The LLM displays above-chance performance on a number of tasks\, but also falls short of human performance in multiple cases. I conclude by discussing the implications of these results for the language exposure hypothesis specifically\, and for research on Theory of Mind more generally.

Despite many desirable properties\, rAAVs have several limitations that prevent their application to many diseases\, and their difficulty to manufacture at large scales earned rAAVs the title \"The Most Expensive Drug in the World.\" Although rAAV vectors have been studied for nearly 40 years\, the adeno-associated virus (AAV) from which they originate causes no disease\; therefore AAV interactions with host cells are historically understudied and remain poorly defined. Understanding the basic biology at the interface of rAAV and its host cell is the first step to illuminate how these mechanisms can be tuned to overcome rAAV's clinical limitations. In this talk\, I will present my graduate work studying AAV capsid assembly\, how I applied these findings to identify key structure-function relationships within the icosahedral capsid\, and how I used these principles to engineer capsids that assemble without a previously required viral co-factor. Next\, I will share my postdoctoral work that identified host factors involved in processing rAAV-delivered DNA\, and how their manipulation led to an over 30-fold increase in expression of an oversized transgene. Finally\, I will summarize the plans for my future lab\, which will continue studying vector-host interactions to overcome major limitations in the rAAV gene therapy field.

Geer\nAssociate Professor and Program Coordinator of American Sign Language and Deaf Studies at California State University\, Sacramento\n\nThis talk shares the justification for and methods and results from two studies of the family-centered\, routine-based curriculum called ASL at Home. Both studies used qualitative methodology\; the first examined providers’ perceptions of and experiences with using the curriculum while the second focused on the experiences of families who used the curriculum on their own. Using interview data from four teachers of the deaf\, one speech-language pathologist\, and one early childhood special education administrator\, the former found many positive experiences using the curriculum including having a structure to follow in one’s teaching\, the availability of the curriculum in Spanish\, and the inclusion of Deaf Community Cultural Wealth (DCCW). The inclusion of DCCW was especially important for hearing providers who reported the desire to provide authentic deaf input in their visits with families. The second study explored interview data from three parents of deaf children who independently used the family-centered curriculum. This study queried what factors families of young deaf children consider when selecting an ASL curriculum and (whether) to approach that curriculum on their own and how the ASL at Home curriculum supports families of young deaf children. ASL at Home supported these participants in their language-learning journey through 1) making the curriculum easily navigable between the book\, the website housing video and other resources\, and the workbook\; 2) through providing functional language\; 3) giving learners activities to apply what they’re learning\; and 4) giving learners permission to make mistakes.

Billions of dollars a year are spent on \"pipeline'' programs to increase diversity in STEM\, but there is little rigorous evidence of their efficacy. We fielded a randomized controlled trial to study a suite of such programs that are targeted to underrepresented high school students hosted at an elite\, technical institution. Students offered seats in the STEM summer programs are more likely to enroll in\, persist through\, and graduate from college. The programs also increase the likelihood that students graduate with a degree in a STEM field\, with the most intensive program increasing four-year graduation with a STEM degree by 33 percent. The shift to STEM degrees increases potential earnings by 2 to 6 percent. Program-induced gains in college quality account for the gains in graduation\, but gains in STEM degree attainment are larger than predicted based on institutional differences\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95418610585?pwd=Z0cvdkF1T0R2cG1lRDEvVmlnbVdlZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nPasscode: 818420\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,95418610585# US (Washington DC)\n+13092053325\,\,95418610585# US\n\nDial by your location\n +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n +1 309 205 3325 US\n +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n +1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n +1 646 931 3860 US\n +1 564 217 2000 US\n +1 669 444 9171 US\n +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n +1 719 359 4580 US\n +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n +1 386 347 5053 US\n +1 647 374 4685 Canada\n +1 647 558 0588 Canada\n +1 778 907 2071 Canada\n +1 780 666 0144 Canada\n +1 204 272 7920 Canada\n +1 438 809 7799 Canada\n +1 587 328 1099 Canada\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nFind your local number: https://umich.zoom.us/u/aCRAyuQaT\n\nJoin by SIP\n95418610585@zoomcrc.com\n\nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n149.137.40.110 (Singapore)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n149.137.68.253 (Mexico)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nPasscode: 818420 UID:118657-21841373@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/118657 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,Social Sciences,Sociology LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240123T181525 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240219T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240219T140000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Research-Based Strategies for Managing Impostor Phenomenon DESCRIPTION:Have you ever succeeded at an academic task even though you were convinced that you wouldn’t do well?

The study population has been exposed to Islam and Christianity since the 1940s\, and multiple religions (the traditional Dogon religion\, Islam\, and Christianity) coexist within the same villages and patrilineages. Among these three religions\, the Dogon religion and Islam entailed greater participation expenses than did Christianity. Given that a man’s father practiced the traditional Dogon religion\, what factors caused him to stay with his father’s religion or to adopt a new religion? Using individual-level data on 570 men from nine villages\, we found that men from poorer families were more likely to adopt Christianity\, while men from wealthier families chose Islam or stayed with the Dogon religion. We propose that costly expenses of a religious community provide a Dogon man with a group of reciprocators that is well-defined with explicit mechanisms to monitor reputation and avenues through which to promote and enhance his status. The extent that each religion incorporates expenses to achieve these benefits\, however\, have different tradeoffs to poorer and wealthier individuals.\nIf you would like to meet with the speaker\, please click here to contact Erin Loomas.\n\nThe University of Michigan\nResearch Center for Group Dynamics\n\nInstitute for Social Research\n\n© 2023 The Regents of the University of Michigan UID:115984-21835976@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/115984 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,African Studies,Anthropology,Social Sciences,Sociology LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240422T094238 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240219T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240219T170000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Study Hall @ The DSI\, WN'24 DESCRIPTION:We're back for Winter '24!

Chief among these are direct-detection experiments which use liquified noble gasses as their detection medium. \n\nIn this talk I will first describe direct searches for weak scale dark matter particles\, highlighting the most sensitive experiment of this type to date: the LUX ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment\, which uses liquid xenon as its detection medium. I will then discuss future efforts aimed at detecting dark matter lighter than the proton. These include an upgrade to dissolve hydrogen in LZ’s target volume (HydroX) and the development of a low threshold detector based on quasiparticle excitations of a superfluid helium-4 target (HeRALD). Taken together\, these experiments directly probe an entire class of extremely well-motivated models known as “thermal relics”: dark matter particles that were once in thermal equilibrium with ordinary matter in the early Universe.

His book on the ways that white nationalists use the Greco-Roman past to legitimize their hateful politics is forthcoming from Yale University Press.

Spohn\, who was able to compute the density of states for the Toda lattice by connecting it to the corresponding one of the Gaussian β ensemble\, a well known random matrix model. The computation of this quantity enabled him to apply the theory of generalized hydrodynamics\, so to compute the correlation functions for the Toda lattice.\nIn this talk\, I consider another integrable model\, namely the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice\; I introduce the Generalized Gibbs ensemble for this lattice\, and I relate it with the so-called Circular β ensemble\, a classical random matrix model for unitary matrices. This allows us to compute explicitly the density of states for the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice in terms of the one of this random matrix ensemble.\nThis talk is mainly based on these two papers:\n\nG. M. \, and T. Grava: Generalized Gibbs ensemble of the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice\, circular β- ensemble and double confluent Heun equation. Communication in Mathematical Physics.

Hadwiger's theorem is a variant of Helly-type theorems involving common transversals to families of convex sets instead of common intersections. In this talk\, we discuss these theorems\, as well as a quantitative and colorful version of Hadwiger's theorem on the plane.

Intermediation: Algorithms\, Homelessness\, and the Politics of Being In-Between. DESCRIPTION:Homelessness is a significant and growing crisis in the United States. In an effort to more efficiently and fairly distribute limited housing resources\, jurisdictions across the US have adopted algorithmic prioritization systems to help select which unhoused people should receive resources. In this talk\, we discuss how frontline bureaucrats mediate between the rigidity of the homeless services infrastructure and the messy social worlds of people experiencing homelessness. Drawing on theories of translation and articulation work\, the paper proposes “intermediation” as a means of understanding the position and labor of being in-between an infrastructure and the social worlds it intersects.

His interests include Spanish and Latin American Cinema\, Visual Culture\, Gender Studies\, Queer Theory\, Psychoanalysis\, Trauma and Memory. Among his books are Aesthetics\, Ethics\, and Trauma in the Cinema of Pedro Almodovar (2017) and Queering Buñuel: Sexual Dissidence and Psychoanalysis in his Mexican and Spanish Cinema (2008).\n\nThe aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand\, this talk will reflect on Bracha L. Ettinger´s matrixial psychoanalysis´ explicit and implicit contribution to feminist and queer theory\, and transgender studies by focusing on the representation and creation of affective relationships and border spaces of co-emergence and co-affection\, thus creating and allegorizing trans-subjective encounters between artistic practices and spectators. This talk will present some of the aesthetic\, ethical\, and political implications underpinning Ettingerian psychoanalysis by emphasizing the dialogue and the productive tensions between Ettinger’s theoretical propositions and one of her most important interlocutors\, namely Lacan. On the other hand\, this paper focuses on finitude\, mourning\, and trans-subjectivity to offer a historical and theoretical account of how Spanish and Latin American visual artists and filmmakers have reflected\, responded to\, or remembered the AIDS epidemic since the 1980s. Drawing on Ettinger’s matrixial psychoanalysis\, my talk conceives queer art and cinema of the 1980s and 1990s as a trans-subjective encounter between the spectator and the traces of individual and collective trauma that moves us beyond our individual and finite limits of ego\, identity\, and body. Emphasizing the transformative aesthetic\, ethical\, and political potential of this kind of trans-subjective mourning\, my paper uses Ettinger’s term “wit(h)ness”—that is\, bearing witness to and with the other—to describe how Spanish and Latin American queer artists and filmmakers of the 1980s and ‘90s used their art and cinema to engage audiences in a trans-subjective processing of the traumas associated with the loss\, illness\, and mortality exposed by the AIDS virus\, while simultaneously gesturing towards an aesthetic\, ethical\, and political transformation in the way that individuals relate to each other.

The Fight of Our Lives DESCRIPTION:Iuliia Mendel is a Ukrainian journalist\, whose work has appeared in The *New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Politico Europe*\, and many other prominent media outlets. In 2019\, she was selected from a pool of around 4\,000 applicants for the position of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Press-Secretary\, a post she held for over two years until spring 2021.\n\n Mendel had a front row seat to many of the key events preceding the 2022 Russian invasion. She attended meetings between Zelenskyy and Putin and other European leaders\, visited the front lines in Donbas\, as well as fielded press inquiries after the infamous phone calls between Donald Trump and Zelenskyy that led to Trump’s first impeachment.\n\n Mendel saw firsthand efforts to transform her country from a poor\, backward Soviet state into a vibrant\, prosperous European democracy. In her work\, Mendel sheds light on the massive economic problems facing Ukraine and the entrenched corrupt oligarchs in league with Russia. She witnessed the Kremlin’s repeated attacks to discredit Zelenskyy through disinformation and an army of bots and trolls.\n\nIn 2022\, Mendel released a book titled *The Fight of Our Lives*. Written with the sound of Russian bombs and exploding shells in the background\, Mendel details life lived under Russian siege in 2022. She says goodbye to her fiancé who joins the front lines\, like so many other Ukrainian men. Throughout this story of Zelenskyy\, Ukraine\, and its extraordinary people\, Mendel reminds us of the paramount importance of truth and human values\, especially in these darkest of times.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

On “Two Universes\,” their first studio album in over five years\, Feufollet proves their Cajun roots don’t define them as much as propel them forward\; whispers of the swamp and its time-honored waltzes trigger a modern and broad musical imagination\, one that finds equal expression in blues\, old-time\, country ballads\, rock’n’roll\, whatever\, all for the sake of the song. Feufollet now includes keyboardist Andrew Toups\, whose influence on shaping the record\, combined with Feufollet’s usual fare—twin fiddles\, French accordion\, guitar twang\, and barn-dance rhythms— give the record more than a passing resemblance to the Band’s “Music from Big Pink.”\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4338/4339 for more detail.

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

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.

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition.\n \nThis exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections\, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene\, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, U-M Office of the President\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and U-M Ross School of Business.\n  UID:114750-21833430@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Public Health,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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:84303-21621213@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:20240220T112041 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240220T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240220T130000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:2024 Bagels and Brainstorming | International Students DESCRIPTION:UMSI invites graduate and undergraduate UMSI international students to join us for bagels and a casual conversation.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/qGNd3\n\nThis study examines the confluence of dietary and medicinal practices in early modern China\, focusing on four specific items: ginseng\, bird's nest\, sea cucumber\, and shark fin. These substances\, esteemed for their nutritional and therapeutic properties\, provide a distinctive lens through which to view the cultural\, social\, and economic dimensions of Chinese dietary customs and traditional medicine during this era.\n \n In early modern China\, the demarcation between food and medicine was frequently ambiguous. This ambiguity was particularly pronounced in consuming certain items valued not only for their gastronomic appeal but also for their purported health advantages. Ginseng\, bird's nest\, sea cucumber\, and shark fin are prime examples of this phenomenon and indicate luxury consumption.\n \n Ginseng\, often hailed as a cure-all\, was consumed for various purported benefits\, including energy enhancement\, cognitive function improvement\, and longevity. Its luxury item status also made it a symbol of affluence and social standing. Similarly\, bird's nest\, derived primarily from the saliva of swiftlets\, was another item of luxury\, consumed for its alleged benefits in respiratory health and skin complexion. The sea cucumber\, a marine organism\, was sought after for its potential benefits in joint health and anti-inflammatory properties. Shark fin\, predominantly used in shark fin soup\, symbolized prestige and luxury. Despite its limited flavor profile\, it was valued for its texture and assumed health benefits\, such as enhancing sexual potency and preventing heart disease.\n \n The consumption of these four items in early modern China exemplifies the intricate interaction between dietary and medicinal practices. These substances were integral to the diet and bore significant cultural\, social\, and economic implications. Their use reflects broader themes of health\, wealth\, and status within Chinese society and an evolving comprehension of the relationship between diet and health.\n \n This research aims to investigate the perceived medicinal benefits of these foods\, their impact on tax regulations and to draw preliminary conclusions about their role in the cultural and social dynamics of the period. This exploration will contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between nourishment and medicine in the historical context of early modern China.\n \n Minghui Hu studied structural engineering with computer-assisted analysis and design in Taiwan and earned his BS in 1989.

Part of the Sally Fleming Master Class Series and hosted by the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments.\n\nJérôme Hantaï (viola da gamba) and Lillian Gordis (harpsichord) have been performing as a duo since 2018\, inspired as much by the contrast between the vocality of the viol and the cutting crispness of the harpsichord as by the mix of rich and varied timbres of their instruments. Together\, they seek a common sound that lies between the singing inertia of the bow and the percussive attack of the keyboard. This ensemble is a chance for these artists to play with new energy and to explore the fresh synergy nourished by their respective identities as soloists.\n\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIOS\n\nBorn in 1992 into a family of scholars and mathematicians in Berkeley\, California\, LILLIAN GORDIS fell in love with the harpsichord at age 9 and never looked back. Five years later\, Pierre Hantaï discovered her during a tour to the United States\, and\, captivated by her touch\, he encouraged her to move to France for further studies. Lillian moved to Paris at 16\, where she was mentored by Hantaï and Bertrand Cuiller.\n\nHailed as a “Martha Argerich of the harpsichord” (ResMusica)\, Lillian regularly performs as a soloist in festivals across Europe and the United States and plays frequently in a duo with Jérôme Hantaï. \n\nHer most recent album\, a double-disc dedicated to Bach (Paraty Productions\, 2022) was awarded a Diapason d’Or and has received praise in the press worldwide (Gramophone\, Scherzo\, American Record Guide\, Fono Forum\, Qobuz…). It was a “coup de cœur nouveauté” on France Musique (Relax !\, Lionel Esparza) and was also featured on the program *Le Bach du Dimanche* (Corinne Schneider). Her first solo recording\, *Zones* (Paraty Productions\, 2019) was entirely dedicated to the sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti.\n\n2023 marked Lillian’s New York début at the Maison française NYU during a 6-city US tour with J. Hantaï\, and her début with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra at the Soraya Center\, as well numerous performances across Europe.\n\nLillian holds dual nationality with the United States and France and resides in Paris. In the 2023-24 academic year\, she will serve as Visiting Assistant Professor of Harpsichord at Oberlin Conservatory.\n\n\nBorn in 1961\, JÉRÔME HANTAÏ studied the viola da gamba with Wieland Kuijken at the Brussels Conservatory. Alongside this\, he took a keen interest in early keyboard instruments\, especially period pianos.\n\nDuring his studies\, he gave numerous concerts on both viol and piano\, and collaborated with pioneers in the renewal of early music\, including Sigiswald Kuijken\, René Jacobs and Jean- Claude Malgoire. He was also associated from the start with the adventure of the Orchestre Baroque d’Île de France and the Ensemble Orlando Gibbons in the 1980s.\n\nAbove all\, however\, he is a member of the Trio Hantaï\, with his brothers Marc (transverse flute) and Pierre (harpsichord)\, an ensemble that has acquired international renown. In addition\, since 2001\, Jérôme Hantaï has directed his own ensemble\, Spes Nostra\, and played in the Trio Almaviva.\n\nA sought-after soloist\, he has appeared throughout Europe and in the United States\, and travels to Asia for tours\, notably in China\, India\, Japan\, the Philippines\, Taiwan and Cambodia. Finally\, he also devotes a large part of his activity to teaching\, at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Cergy-Pontoise and in masterclasses.\n\nHis many recordings include an anthology of folksong settings by Beethoven and a programme of keyboard trios by Haydn (Naïve)\, three volumes of *Pièces à une and plusieurs violes* by Marin Marais (Virgin Veritas)\, a programme of pieces by John Jenkins entitled *Fantazia* (Naïve/ Ambronay)\, and *Consort Music au temps de Shakespeare* (Musicales Actes Sud). All of these CDs have received critical acclaim.

A prime example is given by autophoretic particles\, such as Janus particles\, which self-propel due to asymmetric chemical interactions on their surface. The chemical gradients generated by the particle induce an osmotic pressure\, which is balanced by viscous stresses driving an effective slip flow confined to a thin layer at the surface of the particle. The particle thus sets the surrounding fluid in motion\, which then reacts back on the particle\, creating surface stresses and eventually self-propulsion. Here\, we develop an analytical and numerics-friendly formalism to study autophoresis based on general principles such as linearity of the governing equations. Choosing a kinetic approach\, thermal fluctuations of the suspending fluid are included systematically. After discussing the central ideas of our method\, we study the concrete example of a bottom-heavy Brownian Janus particle in confinement. Finally\, we give an outlook on potential future applications.

Some of most spectacular light-induced phenomena\, such as superconducting-like phases\, transient charge density wave ordering\, and excitonic condensation\, are found to occur in materials dominated by strong electronic correlations with a large susceptibility to external stimuli. A major need towards developing a microscopic understanding of these states of matter is the capability to directly measure their transient electronic dynamics and effective interactions.\n\nIn this talk\, I will show how novel ultrafast x-ray spectroscopic methods\, such as time-resolved x-ray absorption (trXAS) and time-resolved resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (trRIXS)\, enable tackling these questions with unprecedented detail [1]. I will particularly focus on light-driven Mott insulators\, which are key to the emergence of light-induced superconductivity and are theoretically argued to host other exotic ordering phenomena upon photoexcitation\, such as - pairing condensation. I will discuss how trXAS allows to accurately determine transient effective electronic interactions in 1D and 2D copper oxides\, and how we can fully reconstruct the driven many-body state from the transient absorption spectrum [2\,3]. Further\, I will discuss how advances in trRIXS [1\,4\,5] enable mapping the excitation spectrum of the driven state\, and the implications of these experiments for the realization of new light-induced states in photoexcited Mott insulators. \n\n[1] M Mitrano &\; Y.

During the 2010s\, Ethiopia experienced rapid economic development before steadily devolving into regional warfare by the end of the decade. Drawing from research conducted during this period of political and economic transition\, my talk traces the effects of massive foreign investment on the country’s domestic brewing industry: the production\, distribution\, sale\, and consumption of commercial beer. Specifically\, I analyze the social\, cultural\, and political contradictions underlying corporate transformation of the local beer supply chain\, as situated within the politics of developmental capitalism in Ethiopia. Thus\, taking my case of the beer and brewing industry\, I argue that the state’s pursuit of economic progress through national planning and foreign investment serves as both the cause and consequence of national unrest\, challenging scholarly assumptions of what it means to “grow” an economy.\n\nBIO: Christina T. Collins is a cultural anthropologist whose ethnographic research examines the social\, cultural\, and economic impact of multinational alcohol companies in Ethiopia. Up until the early 2010s\, the alcohol industry in Ethiopia was primarily state-owned\, but recent privatizations have opened up the local market to international competition. With a focus on beer and brewing\, her fieldwork explores the socio-cultural effects of private investments within labor and service economies (e.g.\, brewing\, malt barley production\, draft cleaning services\, alcohol distribution\, food and beverage services\, advertising/marketing\, and entertainment/nightlife). Her research shows that market activities (i.e.\, the production\, distribution\, sale\, and consumption of commercial lagers in Ethiopia) are not merely economic in nature but saturated with symbolic\, affective\, religious\, ethnic\, and political meanings. Dr. Collins holds a PhD in cultural anthropology from Duke University. Her research interests include anthropology and business\; industry and industrialization in emerging markets\; national economy\; alcohol production\, distribution\, and consumption\; science and technology studies (STS)\; and the anthropology of development\, with a regional focus in sub-Saharan Africa\, especially Ethiopia.

As Brecht once observed: \"I stood on a hill and I saw the Old approaching\, but it came as the New.\" Prediction supplies a powerful conceptual model for this dynamic of stasis through disruption by connecting the technical conceit of predictivity (that criminality or emotion can be anticipated through data-driven modeling) with the mythological use of prediction (where history is an extrapolation of known technological advancements). Drawing from theories of ritual and experiment\, I examine the demonstrative\, belief-building work that prediction does - from 18th century automata of Defecating Ducks to Amazon warehouses\, from the 1956 Dartmouth Conference to the 10\,000 Year Clock. What we call \"tech\" today serves as a legitimising function for capital\, and crucial to this function is the active foreclosure of any political future other than more of the same.\n\nSun-ha Hong examines forms of uncertainty\, doubt and (dis)belief around surveillance\, smart machines & AI from critical and historical perspectives.

As Brecht once observed: \"I stood on a hill and I saw the Old approaching\, but it came as the New.\" Prediction supplies a powerful conceptual model for this dynamic of stasis through disruption by connecting the technical conceit of predictivity (that criminality or emotion can be anticipated through data-driven modeling) with the mythological use of prediction (where history is an extrapolation of known technological advancements). Drawing from theories of ritual and experiment\, I examine the demonstrative\, belief-building work that prediction does - from 18th century automata of Defecating Ducks to Amazon warehouses\, from the 1956 Dartmouth Conference to the 10\,000 Year Clock. What we call \"tech\" today serves as a legitimising function for capital\, and crucial to this function is the active foreclosure of any political future other than more of the same.

The Nazis were astounded to encounter Grey Molay amidst the \"red Spaniards\" who were exiled from Spain. An Afro-Catalan man of Guinean parentage\, Grey Molay's presence in the camp\, along with representations of him in cultural productions\, evince a unique embodiment of contemporary European histories of colonialism\, fascism and anti-fascist resistance\, and racism. This talk theorizes representations of these intertwined memories with a singular focus on Grey Molay. Indeed\, in Multidirectional Memory\, Michael Rothberg writes that “there is no shortage of cross-referencing between the legacies of the Holocaust and colonialism\, but many of those moments of contact occur in marginalized texts or in marginal moments of well-known texts.” Through readings of references to Grey Molay in contemporary Spanish literature and culture\, this paper observes the ways in which Grey-Molay’s story appears in the “marginal moments” of more well-known life narratives by fellow Mauthausen survivors. By centering Grey-Molay’s experience — even as it is filtered through the lens of his white compatriots — this analysis answers Rothberg’s call to constitute the archive “with the help of the change in vision made possible by a new kind of comparative thinking.”\n\nProfessor Michelle Murray's research and teaching focus on contemporary Spanish literature and film. Her first book Home Away from Home Immigrant Narratives\, Domesticity\, and Coloniality in Contemporary Spanish Culture (UNC Press for North Carolina Studies in Romance Languages and Literatures\, 2018) studies representations of immigrant women as domestic workers in contemporary Spain. She is currently working on a manuscript entitled Migrant Markets\; this book explores migration\, political economy\, and trafficking in the Southern Mediterranean.\n\nThis talk is co-sponsored by: the Department of Romance Languages and Literature\, the Department of African and African American Studies\, the Department of Comparative Literature\, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, and the Program in International Comparative Studies.

It is well–known that P₂(Rᵈ)\, W₂)\, is isometric to a quotient space of the Hilbert space H of square-integrable random variables on (0\, 1)ᵈ. We elucidate the connection between various notions of differentiability in the Wasserstein space: some have been introduced intrinsically (in the Wasserstein space\, by using typical objects from the theory of Optimal Transport). Another notion is extrinsic and arises from the identification of the Wasserstein space with the Hilbert space of square-integrable random variables on a non-atomic probability space.

As such\, racism impacts who gets sick\, who dies\, and who is able to live healthy. In this talk Dr. Pirtle will overview interventions of her empirical research\, informed by critical race theory\, that utilizes multidimensional measures of race and structural measures of racism to explore health outcomes for Black\, Latinx\, and other populations of color. The talk demonstrates that using theoretically informed measures of race and racism help us refine our understanding of racialized health associations and clarifies mechanisms of structural racism that shape contemporary racialized health inequities. Collectively\, the discussion helps think through equitable interventions that can facilitate better health for more of us. Dr. Pirtle is the inaugural Racial Justice and Anti-Racism Collaborative Visiting Scholar.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Whitney Pirtle is an Associate Professor of Sociology and MacArthur Foundation Chair in International Justice and Human Rights at the University of California\, Merced\, where she also directs the Sociology of Health and Equity (SHE) Lab. Dr. Pirtle is sociologist with interdisciplinary and subject area expertise in race and racism\; health disparities and health equity\; social problems and social justice\; Black feminist sociology and praxis\; and mixed methodologies. Recent research includes writing on Covid-19 pandemic inequities\, institutional anti-Blackness\, and in 2021 she co-edited \"Black Feminist Sociology: Perspectives and Praxis\" with Zakiya Luna.

Together\, they seek a common sound that lies between the singing inertia of the bow and the percussive attack of the keyboard. This ensemble is a chance for these artists to play with new energy and to explore the fresh synergy nourished by their respective identities as soloists. They have toured in France\, Switzerland\, Italy and the United States.\n\nPROGRAM: Music of J.S. Bach\, F. Couperin\, and M. Marais.\n\n“Both musicians sought to outdo one another in force and vivacity…”\n- From \"Duo Gordis-Hantaï combine in stellar baroque recital for Capriccio series\,” Washington Classical Review\n\nThis performance is presented by the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments with support from the Sally Fleming Master Class Fund.\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIOS\n\nBorn in 1992 into a family of scholars and mathematicians in Berkeley\, California\, LILLIAN GORDIS fell in love with the harpsichord at age 9 and never looked back. Five years later\, Pierre Hantaï discovered her during a tour to the United States\, and\, captivated by her touch\, he encouraged her to move to France for further studies. Lillian moved to Paris at 16\, where she was mentored by Hantaï and Bertrand Cuiller.\n\nHailed as a “Martha Argerich of the harpsichord” (ResMusica)\, Lillian regularly performs as a soloist in festivals across Europe and the United States and plays frequently in a duo with Jérôme Hantaï. \n\nHer most recent album\, a double-disc dedicated to Bach (Paraty Productions\, 2022) was awarded a Diapason d’Or and has received praise in the press worldwide (Gramophone\, Scherzo\, American Record Guide\, Fono Forum\, Qobuz…). It was a “coup de cœur nouveauté” on France Musique (Relax !\, Lionel Esparza) and was also featured on the program *Le Bach du Dimanche* (Corinne Schneider). Her first solo recording\, *Zones* (Paraty Productions\, 2019) was entirely dedicated to the sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti.\n\n2023 marked Lillian’s New York début at the Maison française NYU during a 6-city US tour with J. Hantaï\, and her début with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra at the Soraya Center\, as well numerous performances across Europe.\n\nLillian holds dual nationality with the United States and France and resides in Paris. In the 2023-24 academic year\, she will serve as Visiting Assistant Professor of Harpsichord at Oberlin Conservatory.\n\n\nBorn in 1961\, JÉRÔME HANTAÏ studied the viola da gamba with Wieland Kuijken at the Brussels Conservatory. Alongside this\, he took a keen interest in early keyboard instruments\, especially period pianos.\n\nDuring his studies\, he gave numerous concerts on both viol and piano\, and collaborated with pioneers in the renewal of early music\, including Sigiswald Kuijken\, René Jacobs and Jean- Claude Malgoire. He was also associated from the start with the adventure of the Orchestre Baroque d’Île de France and the Ensemble Orlando Gibbons in the 1980s.\n\nAbove all\, however\, he is a member of the Trio Hantaï\, with his brothers Marc (transverse flute) and Pierre (harpsichord)\, an ensemble that has acquired international renown. In addition\, since 2001\, Jérôme Hantaï has directed his own ensemble\, Spes Nostra\, and played in the Trio Almaviva.\n\nA sought-after soloist\, he has appeared throughout Europe and in the United States\, and travels to Asia for tours\, notably in China\, India\, Japan\, the Philippines\, Taiwan and Cambodia. Finally\, he also devotes a large part of his activity to teaching\, at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Cergy-Pontoise and in masterclasses.\n\nHis many recordings include an anthology of folksong settings by Beethoven and a programme of keyboard trios by Haydn (Naïve)\, three volumes of *Pièces à une and plusieurs violes* by Marin Marais (Virgin Veritas)\, a programme of pieces by John Jenkins entitled *Fantazia* (Naïve/ Ambronay)\, and *Consort Music au temps de Shakespeare* (Musicales Actes Sud). All of these CDs have received critical acclaim.

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.

The Higgs boson discovery in 2012 completed the Standard Model of particle physics\, but we know that this picture is insufficient\, and many important questions remain unanswered… How can quantum mechanics and gravity be reconciled? What are dark matter and dark energy? Why is there more matter than anti-matter? Why are there three generations of matter particles\, and why do they have the hierarchy of masses that they do? The newly discovered Higgs boson is the only fundamental spin-0 particle in the Standard Model\, associated with an all-permeating\, ever-present field thought to generate the mass of all other particles\, and it might be the key to answering many of these crucial questions\, and may lead to discoveries we have not anticipated. In particular\, both the strength with which the Higgs boson interacts with itself and the Higgs boson lifetime contain important information about our universe. Moreover\, one or more of these measurements could be the key to understanding many of the mysteries of the early universe\, including why there is more matter than anti-matter\, what caused inflation\, and whether the vacuum of our universe is stable. This presentation will discuss these measurements in the context of the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. These analyses are very challenging\, however\, and the use of novel artificial intelligence techniques may be needed if these discoveries are to be made.

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition.\n \nThis exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections\, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene\, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, U-M Office of the President\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and U-M Ross School of Business.\n  UID:114750-21833431@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Public Health,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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.

A more recent perspective on this problem has instead focused on stability\; more precisely\, how does the cohomology of a fixed line bundle vary as the dimension of the ambient flag becomes arbitrarily large? In recent joint work with Raicu\, we answer this: the cohomology is eventually modeled by a fixed polynomial functor\, depending only on the weight of the line bundle. Moreover\, for certain classes of weights\, we can show that these stability functors exhibit remarkable periodicity properties determined by the characteristic of the underlying field. In this talk\, we will see some of the background and tools that go into these results\, including an unexpected connection to a long-open problem of Akin--Buchsbaum on \"universal\" categorifications of the Jacobi-Trudi identity.

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:84303-21621214@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:20240215T145807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240221T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240221T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Engineered Perspectives: A Black History Month Workshop on Diversity and Understanding DESCRIPTION:Join us for lunch and and an interactive workshop to commemorate Black History Month.

W.E.B. Du Bois presents one counterpoint to the canon and a lightning rod for “decolonization” sweeping through sociology. The talk considers four responses to decolonizing the canon: restoration\, rejection\, revolution or reconstruction. The talk undertakes “reconstruction” by putting Du Bois into dialogue with Marx\, Weber and Durkheim with radical consequences for social science but also challenges for Du Bois.

The key challenges faced by the Ukrainian public health system during the war include\, but are not limited to\, compromised capacity for the public health system to prevent\, detect\, and respond to emergencies\, such as infectious disease outbreaks\, gaps in biosafety and biosecurity\, and low immunization coverage. Restricted access to healthcare services also leads to higher rates of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) contributing to premature mortality and urgent mental health issues. Fortunately\, a range of stakeholders\, including Ukrainian state- and non-state actors\, as well as foreign and global agencies\, are working to address the most pressing needs and risks\, mitigate consequences of war-induced public health emergencies\, and prevent future crises. Even in the face of war\, important reforms in the Ukrainian public health system are taking place to align with EU standards\, which highlight priorities for post-war recovery and will support the country’s euro-integration path.\n \n Olha Kostetska is a public health and healthcare specialist focused on health system strengthening and resilience as well as health policy. She holds master’s degrees in Healthcare Management and in International Law. Olha is currently employed by the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH)\, where she leads the public health components of the USAID project “Public Health Systems Recovery & Resilience Activity” in Ukraine. Before joining Swiss TPH\, Olha served as an advisor to a member of Ukraine’s Parliament on legal matters in the healthcare field to streamline important reforms of the blood donation system and the public health system\, and to address urgent COVID-19-related needs. Olha also has extensive experience in legal consulting in the life sciences and healthcare sectors\, where she has advised public and private actors on various regulatory issues\, as well as supported the implementation of key legal developments in the field.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

However\, it is rather common that the two processes are considered in a separate fashion\, with the analyst being handed a linked file that is possibly subject to substantial linkage error (false matches and missed matches). Ignoring such error can render statistical analysis invalid. At the same time\, accounting for linkage error with limited information about the linkage process poses a variety of challenges. This talk will outline a framework based on a mixture model for addressing mismatch error in the secondary analysis of linked files. Its use will be demonstrated in several case studies. Finally\, we will present recent extensions\, future directions and open problems.\n\nMartin Slawski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics at George\nMason University. His research on data analysis after record linkage is currently\nsupported by NSF. His research interests concern topics in computational statistics and applications in various domains. He serves as an associate editor of the Electronic Journal of Statistics. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Saarland University\, Germany\, and was a postdoctoral associate in Statistics and Computer\nScience at Rutgers University prior to joining his current institution.

The key tool is modular flow\, a nonstandard time-evolution map defined relative to a choice of state\, which makes that state \"look thermal.\" Famously\, the modular flow for the Minkowski vacuum in the Rindler wedge is a geometric boost\, which is one way of stating the Unruh effect. In this talk\, I will outline a characterization of the settings in which modular flow is geometrically local\, i.e.\, a complete list of \"generalized Unruh effects\" in arbitrary spacetimes and for arbitrary quantum field theories. The arguments involve analytic manipulations of position-space correlators\, which may be of independent interest to those of you working on amplitudes.

B. Yeats’s Purgatory DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a discussion of U-M English PhD candidate Asa Chen Zhang's dissertation chapter\, \"'Not Once but Many Times': Noh and Tragedy in W. B. Yeats’s Purgatory.\" You can sign up to receive the chapter and RSVP for the workshop here: https://forms.gle/As9gacqBmpwYk8fx6.\n\n\nAbstract:\nTurning from the celebrated beginning of Yeats’s engagement with Japanese theatre\nin 1916 to the overlooked final phase of this transnational relationship\, this chapter takes\nup the shackled presence of Noh’s crazed female specter archetype (“kyōjo mono”) in\nYeats’s penultimate verse play\, Purgatory (1938). Serving as both a supernatural catalyst\nfor Yeats’s valorization of the tragic sublime and a convenient site of suppression as an\nembodiment of the Victorian melodramatic heroine\, this Noh specter displays an\nuntamable multiplicity within Yeats’s attempt to harness her generic\, transnational\, and\nmystical resonances in the Purgatory manuscripts and the significantly revised 1937\nversion of A Vision. Rather than “die into the labyrinth of itself\,” this figure\, enmeshed in the poet’s ambivalent later affinity with Nietzsche\, becomes a subversive manifestation of\nYeats’s own unease with the eugenic and totalitarian underpinnings of his final discourse\non tragedy as revealed in the play’s posthumous companion pamphlet\, On the Boiler\n(1939). In lieu of the direct replication of Noh’s formal elements in Yeats’s earlier Celtic\nheroic plays\, the case of Purgatory instances a minor type of “modernist orientalism”—and a less theorized phenomenon of transnationalism at large—where an imported element\, no longer visibly foreign\, becomes remarkably constitutive of the ideological anxiety of the hosting text.

In generic isolated systems\, one expects nonequilibrium dynamics to result in thermalization: a relaxation to states in which the values of macroscopic quantities are stationary\, universal with respect to widely differing initial conditions\, and predictable through the time-tested recipe of statistical mechanics. However\, it is not obvious what feature of a many-body system makes quantum thermalization possible\, in a sense analogous to that in which dynamical chaos makes classical thermalization possible. Underscoring that new rules could apply in the quantum case\, experimental studies in one-dimensional systems have shown that traditional statistical mechanics can provide incorrect predictions for the outcomes of relaxation dynamics. We show that isolated \"quantum-chaotic\" systems do in fact relax to states in which observables are well-described by statistical mechanics. Moreover\, we argue that the time evolution itself only plays an auxiliary role as thermalization occurs at the level of individual eigenstates.

In this talk\, I will describe some basic algebro-geometric techniques underlying this theory and explain the need for a theory of character sheaves on jet schemes of reductive groups from the perspective of the Langlands program. Recently\, R. Bezrukavnikov and I have developed the \"generic\" part of this desired theory. In the simplest nontrivial case\, this resolves a conjecture of Lusztig and produces perverse sheaves on jet schemes compatible with parahoric Deligne--Lusztig induction.

This also holds for almost Fuchsian representations\, but not in general for quasi-Fuchsian representations.\n\nI will present an analog of this picture for representations of surface groups into Sp(2n\,R). Among these representations\, there exists a union of connected components containing only discrete and faithful representations\, called maximal representations. We will consider fibrations by projective codimension $2$ subspaces of a projective convex set containing the symmetric space of Sp(2n\,R). These subspaces are described by pencils of quadrics\, and we will see that one can characterize maximal representations by the existence of such a continuous fibration\, satisfying some additional properties.

We establish stability results for small perturbations of preferences\, where the latter can be stochastic. We obtain a sharp condition in terms of the associated concave and convex envelopes and provide counterexamples demonstrating that\, in general\, stability fails. Next\, we investigate a class of models where the indifference price does not depend on the preferences or the initial wealth. Here\, under the existence of an equivalent separating measure\, in the settings of deterministic preferences\, we show that the class of indifference price invariant models is the class of models where the dual domain is stochastically dominant of the second order. We also provide a counterexample showing that\, in general\, this result does not hold over stochastic preferences\, where instead\, we show that the indifference price invariant models are complete models (in both small and large markets). In the process\, we establish a theorem of independent interest on the stability of the optimal investment problem under perturbations of preferences. Our results are new in both small and large markets\, and thus\, in particular\, we introduce large stochastically dominant models\, give examples of such models\, and characterize them as the indifference price invariant ones over deterministic preferences.

That number jumps to 85 gigatons if all students were educated - more powerful than investments in solar or wind turbines alone. You can contribute to this revolution by getting in front of kids and teaching environmental justice\, particularly in underserved communities\, which are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Join us to hear from Parker McMullen Bushman on how we all can be change agents for climate justice.
