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.

Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers DESCRIPTION:Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power\, a cadre of European Jews—German\, Polish\, Hungarian\, Austrian\, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport\, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer\, journalist\, painter\, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.\n \n They did\, however\, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures\, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers\, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work\, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.\n \n Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe\, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille\, France on May 7\, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary\, Belgium\, France\, and Germany: Ilse Bing\, Josef Breitenbach\, Boris Lipnitsky\, Charles Leirens\, Yolla Niclas\, Fred Stein\, Monie Tannen\, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills\, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.\n \n This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world\, seeing it through European eyes.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Each year\, DigiPaint produces a zine featuring art created in response to a thematic prompt. The pieces on display have been printed from the 2023 zine\, \"Dreams and Nightmares.\"\n\nDigiPaint is the University of Michigan’s first student organization dedicated to digital painting.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides\, military checkpoints\, walls\, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine. \n\nSouq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza\, sharing the stories of\, and images captured by\, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them\, Fouad Abu Khammash\, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.\n\n< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi\, Zainab Hakim\, Mariam Odeh\, and Vivian M. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week\, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history\, culture\, and politics.

Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq\, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.\n\nIn the United States\, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized\, under despotic rule\, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students\, and students who became mentors to new students\, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism\, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.\n\nView the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library\, Tappan Hall\, 855 S.

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:116532-21837329@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116532 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240115T111145 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240307T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240307T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamps School of Art and Design Staff Exhibition DESCRIPTION:January 26-April 12\, 9 am - 5 pm or by appointment\ncontact: serrag@med.umich.edu UID:116536-21837488@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116536 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Connections Gallery located on concourse level CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240307T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240307T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering DESCRIPTION:Welcome. 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:107870-21817748@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:20240307T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240307T200000 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:114750-21833444@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.

Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

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:84303-21621227@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:20240228T141012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240307T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240307T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute Seminar | Quantum Optical Interconnects DESCRIPTION:Marko Lončar\, Tiantsai Lin Professor of Electrical Engineering at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS)\, will be presenting \"Quantum Optical Interconnects\" as part of the Quantum Research Institute's winter seminar series from 11am - noon in the Henderson Room (3rd floor) at the Michigan League. A Zoom option is also provided.\n\nSeminar Description:\nOptically active and highly coherent emitters in solids are a promising platform for a wide variety of quantum information applications\, particularly quantum memory and other quantum networking tasks. Rare-earth atoms\, in addition to having record long coherence times\, have the added benefit that they can be hosted in a wide range of solid-state materials. We can thus target particular materials (and choose particular rare-earth species and isotopes) that enable certain application-specific functionalities. I will give an overview of this promising field and discuss several ongoing projects with rare-earth atoms in different host materials and configurations. This includes efforts to identify and grow new materials with rare-earth atoms at stoichiometric concentrations in order to reduce disorder-induced inhomogeneous broadening\, as well as photonic integration of rare-earth doped samples to increase the light-atom interaction for practical quantum devices.

The conversation explores SWF’s practice of re-mapping cities’ resources at its Communiversity to create true Common Wealth – the spaces\, structures\, networks\, resources\, and opportunities essential to mending the urban fabric\, healing communities\, and equipping our neighborhoods to thrive\, rather than merely survive. The talk invites us to imagine: “What if??? What if…. neighborhood development took place on a human scale\, fueled by the critical connections that cultivate the relationships and collective commitment to do the necessary work?”\n\nAbout Emmanuel Pratt\nEmmanuel Pratt is an Urban Designer\, Artist\, and MacArthur Fellow. He is the co-founder and Executive Director of Sweet Water Foundation. Emmanuel’s praxis is rooted in decades of work that interrogates the cross-sectionality of architecture\, urban planning\, agroecology\, and human development. His work builds upon and moves beyond the theory of Communicative Action towards the creation of a new paradigm of Regenerative Neighborhood Development (RND). Emmanuel was a Harvard GSD Loeb Fellow in 2017\, a 2019 Joyce Award recipient\, and a 2019 MacArthur Fellow.\n\nThe Douglas S. Kelbaugh Lecture is generously funded through an endowed fund given by Douglas Kelbaugh and Kathleen Nolan to support an annual public lecture on the topic of urban design. The contributions of Douglas Kelbaugh\, FAIA\, FCNU\, professor emeritus of architecture and urban and regional planning and dean emeritus of Taubman College\, to the field of sustainable architecture and urban planning\, the Taubman College community\, cities\, and the education of students will continue to create a positive impact in the world for years to come\, including through the annual Kelbaugh Lecture.

I develop a theory that implies that the effect should be small on impact—raising only the wages of workers bound by the minimum wage—and grow over time. Guided by my theory\, I present evidence that these dynamic effects are present and powerful. Estimated at the national and state levels\, I show that minimum wages—together with supply and demand—play a central role in shaping the evolution of the U.S. college premium and that the elasticity of the college premium to the minimum wage is small on impact and grows dramatically over time. To verify my theory’s mechanisms\, I additionally document the dynamic impact of the minimum wage over the full wage distribution: on impact\, wages rise only for the lowest centiles (consistent with the literature) but over time this effect spills over up the wage distribution (consistent with my theory and my empirical results on the college premium). On the basis of these results\, I conclude that the minimum wage plays a central role in shaping the U.S. college premium and its variation across states\, in spite of relatively small effects on impact.\n\nThis talk is presented by the Labor Economics Seminar\, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Abraham and Thelma Zwerdling Labor Economics Program.\n\nThis talk is presented by the International Economics Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Economics Strategic Fund.

Phylogenetic comparative methods have emerged as one way to study this questions at the broadest\, macroevolutionary scales. However\, finding the right balance of model realism\, complexity\, and statistical power has proved to be a major challenge to making robust inferences. Here\, I will show work in my lab that seeks to address this challenge by reframing macroevolutionary questions away from questions about rate variation\, and to instead focus on how we define and measure characters themselves. I will argue that this reframing enables new links to biological knowledge and data that provide needed constraints on our models and enable new insights into the causes and consequences of macroevolutionary change.\n\nWebsite: uyedalab.com UID:117489-21839375@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/117489 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,department of ecology and evolutionary biology,ecology,Ecology & Biology,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,eeb,Herbarium,Zoology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240131T163003 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240307T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240307T170000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Hopwood Tea DESCRIPTION:All are welcome for tea\, coffee\, and light refreshments at the weekly tea in the Hopwood Room.

The first story is how biophysical cues dictate the formation and maintenance of dense connective tissues. This work includes how muscle loading during embryogenesis dictates the growth of tissues in the knee joint and how cell contractility regulates cell fate and tissue homeostasis. The second story\, which started with a serendipitous discovery during my graduate studies\, is focused on how the hedgehog signaling pathway is a master regulator of fibrocartilage formation during enthesis development and tendon-to-bone repair in adults.\n\nBio:\nI obtained my undergraduate degree in Materials Science and Engineering with a specialization in Biomaterials from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2005. I completed my PhD in the Functional Tissue Engineering laboratory under the direction of Dr. David Butler at the University of Cincinnati in 2011. After postdoctoral training in musculoskeletal biology with Dr. David Rowe at UConn Health\, I moved to the University of Pennsylvania in 2017\, where I developed an independent research program in the McKay Orthopaedic Research Laboratory.\n\nMy lab’s primary research goals are directed towards understanding the genetic\, cellular\, and mechanical mechanisms that regulate normal development\, disease\, and repair of joint tissues. I am particularly interested in identifying markers that define resident progenitors vs. mature cell types and the environmental cues (molecular and mechanical) that regulate their differentiation. I was awarded a K99/R00 grant in 2015 to define the tendon cell lineage and pathways that regulate tenogenesis\, which led to our current work investigating the role of hedgehog signaling in tendon-to-bone repair and developing novel drug delivery systems targeting this pathway to improve repair outcomes. My lab also examines how mechanical forces impact the formation and maintenance of dense connective tissues\, which have resulted in a recent publication in PNAS and the formation of the Penn Achilles Tendinopathy Center of Research Translation (PAT-CORT). In 2024\, I was awarded the Kappa Delta Young Investigator Award from the AAOS for this work. Ultimately\, the long-term goals of my lab are directed towards translating these mechanistic studies to novel therapeutic strategies.\n\nZoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/94801149707 UID:119421-21842743@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/119421 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Michigan Engineering,seminar LOCATION:Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building - 1311 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240228T134334 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240307T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240307T162000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department of Astronomy 2023-2024 Colloquium Series Presents: DESCRIPTION:\"Probing Exoplanets at the Diffraction Limit with Fiber-fed High-resolution Infrared Spectroscopy\"\n\nIn this presentation\, I will highlight recent discoveries made possible by the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) at the W. M. Keck Observatory. KPIC's pioneering single-mode fiber-fed architecture\, seamlessly integrating the Keck II adaptive optics system with the NIRSPEC infrared high-resolution spectrograph\, has allowed us to delve into the chemodynamics of exoplanets and brown dwarf companions at close separations.\n\nUtilizing KPIC\, we have collected 30 R=35\,000 K-band spectra of low-mass companions\, providing new insights into their spins\, orbits\, and chemical compositions\, including their carbon-to-oxygen ratio\, metallicity\, and isotopologues. These measurements provide valuable new perspectives on their formation processes through dynamics and chemistry. Furthermore\, I will discuss preliminary findings from our ongoing survey for exo-satellites around specific targets within our sample\, offering tantalizing prospects for further exploration.\n\nKPIC's achievements have set the stage for future instruments such as Keck-HISPEC and TMT-MODHIS\, poised to deliver even more refined spectroscopic capabilities for studying directly imaged exoplanets\, as well as close-in and transiting planets\, along with precise radial velocity measurements.

We ask whether household welfare is improved from a universal anti-poverty program\, rather than a program targeted at only the poorest. In order to answer this question\, we will use a clustered Randomized Control Trial of a universal anti-poverty program with nearly 4\,000 households across 335 highly impoverished villages in rural Uganda. The program we consider\, provided to everyone in eligible communities\, offers a package of support including agricultural and livestock inputs and training\; health education and entrepreneurship support. We examine the effects of the programme 2-3 years after its start\, finding large positive effects throughout the distribution\, with average incomes increasing 25%\, wealth increasing 36% and consumption increasing 10%. There are also large positive impacts on a range of social welfare measures\, including physical and mental health\, hunger and nutrition and community engagement. At a cost of only 280 USD PPP per household\, this program is a cost-effective and scalable way to alleviate extreme poverty. \n\nThis talk is presented by the Economic Development Seminar\, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics through a generous gift given by Jay and Beth Rakow. This talk is also sponsored by the International Policy Center at the Ford School.

In this talk\, I will present a formula for the vector space dimension of $\mathbb{F}_2[x\,y\,z]/(x^{d_1}\, y^{d_2}\,z^{d_3}\, x+y+z)$ when $d_1\,d_2\,d_3$ all lie between successive powers of $2$. Combining this with results of Chungsim Han\, we get a complete description of the vector space dimension of $\mathbb{F}_2[x\,y\,z]/(x^{d_1}\, y^{d_2}\,z^{d_3}\, x+y+z)$ for any $d_1\,d_2\,d_3$.

I'll discuss the structure of these spacetimes and demonstrate\, via the analysis of a simple ODE\, that they can also exhibit the formation of naked singularities\, singularities visible from infinity\, accompanying the black hole provided only that the null dust accumulates slowly. More pointedly\, I'll demonstrate that there is a sense in which the emergence of naked singularities is generic within this class of spacetimes. This observation is of note for the weak cosmic censorship conjecture\, a fundamental postulate as to the nature and extent of solutions to the Einstein equations when coupled to \"reasonable\" matter.

Explore how art\, activism\, and scholarship help give these material objects a political afterlife.\n\nMapping is a mode of storytelling. Yet\, cartography is often concentrated in the hands of the powerful. In response\, “counter-mapping” has developed as a practice that empowers communities to challenge hegemonic narratives about space and foreground subaltern knowledge.\n\nThe Mapping and Counter-mapping: Methods for Art\, Activism\, and Scholarship series includes talks\, a graduate student counter-mapping workshop\, and a roundtable discussion.\n\nOrganized by Jatin Dua and Alyssa Paredes\, with Francesca Conterno and Kristi Rhead.

A significant challenge to achieving this goal is the fundamental difference in the excited-state properties of first-row metal complexes as compared to their second- and third-row congeners subsequent to light absorption. Our group has been working on understanding the origins of this difference in an effort to develop design principles that will assist in overcoming these intrinsic challenges and develop new paradigms for the creation of photo-active first-row chromophores for applications in solar energy conversion strategies as well as photoredox catalysis.\n\nThis presentation will provide a brief survey of the work we have been engaged in over the past several years employing a combination of synthetic chemistry and ultrafast spectroscopy. Our primary focus has been on compounds involving metals with a d6 valence electronic configuration. In the case of Fe(II)\, leveraging information from vibronic coherence was found to provide what amounts to a roadmap for effective synthetic design to lengthen the lifetime of MLCT excited states\, whereas the excited-state redox activity of Co(III)-based ligand-field excited states coupled with dynamics occurring in the Marcus inverted region enabled previously unforeseen applications in photoredox catalysis. Future directions envisioned for this line of research will also be discussed.

He began his career as a printer’s apprentice with Juan Pascoe at his renowned letterpress studio Taller Martin Pescador (Kingfisher Workshop) in Tacámbaro\, Michoacán. At the age of 21\, Rodríguez immigrated to Los Angeles and became a printmaker at Self Help Graphics. He co-founded La Mano Press in 2002 in Los Angeles before relocating to Michoacán in 2008\, where he co-founded La Mano Gráfica\, a gallery and craft store. Rodríguez directs the Library of Illustrated Books (Biblioteca del Libro Ilustrado\, BLI)\, where his many public projects include The Bibliográfico\, a 1977 Toyota converted into a traveling library\, and the Graficomovil\, a 1948 delivery truck converted into a gallery and printmaking studio. \nRodríguez is known for his linocut prints as well as his mural-sized prints and for his vehicles. Influenced by both European medieval woodcuts and Mexican cultural symbolism developed by artists like José Guadalupe Posada\, Rodríguez’s style emphasizes simplicity\, clarity\, and imbued with a personal narrative. His images come from contemporary icons like American cartoons and Mexican culture\, mythology and surrealism. A poet at heart\, Rodríguez uses the physicality of the printmaking process to write stories in images. His work has been exhibited internationally and is in the collections of many public institutions\, including the Seattle Art Museum\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, Hammer Museum\, Petersen Automotive Museum\, Library of Congress\, Phoenix Art Museum and Museo José Guadalupe Posada. A retrospective look of his works can be seen in the book American Dream.\n\"Rodríguez’s new works emphasize some of his best-loved figures – skeletons\, devils\, animals\, children\, and the royalty of Michoacán – in acts of celebration\, seduction\, and play. He captures a multitude of experiences within one moment and one image. Entire scenes of a play\, entire poems\, unfold in stark black lines.\" - Paige McCray\, Davidson Galleries\nRodriguez’s talk will cover his journey from his beginnings in rural Mexico to his experience crossing the US border\, becoming part of the Chicano Art and Mexican printmaking scene\, his rise to recognition and giving back to his community.

These six solos are accompanied here by original visual art inspired by each movement of Bach’s music. The original program is divided into three parts averaging about 45 minutes\; the total experience including intermissions is just under three hours. Today’s performance at SMTD is an excerpt\, anticipated as 90 minutes in length (about half the length of the total cycle).\n\n\"Inspired by each of Bach’s 27 movements\, I have created 27 pastel paintings using a mixture of soft pastels\, hard pastels\, sanded paper\, and alcohol. During the performance\, each piece is projected during its corresponding musical movement... Bach’s musical motives\, characters\, key areas\, compositional structures\, and hidden messages all serve as generative sources in this series. I conceive of each work as an entry in a 'musician’s sketchbook\,' this exhibit serving as a way of sharing my musical interpretive process rather than asserting any professional identity as a visual artist.\"\n– Nicholas DiEugenio\, January 2024\n\nPresented by the Department of Strings and the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments\, with support from the Sally Fleming Master Class Fund.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\nViolinist NICHOLAS DIEUGENIO has been heralded for his “excellent...evocative” playing (*The New York Times*)\, full of “rapturous poetry” (*American Record Guide*). Nicholas is in-demand as a soloist\, chamber musician\, and ensemble leader\, creating powerful shared experiences in music ranging from early baroque to contemporary commissions. \n\nA core member of the Sebastians\, a period group hailed as “topnotch” by the *New Yorker* and “sharp-edged and engaging” by the *New York Times*\, Nicholas also performs and records with pianist and wife Mimi Solomon. Their award-winning duo project “Unraveling Beethoven” comprises a full cycle of the Beethoven violin sonatas along with response works from composers Tonia Ko\, Robert Honstein\, Jesse Jones\, Allen Anderson\, and D.K. Garner.\n\nHis Musica omnia recording of the complete Schumann violin sonatas with Chi-Chen Wu on fortepiano was named one of the Top 10 albums of 2015 by *The Big City*. His August 2017 release on the New Focus label with Mimi Solomon\, critically lauded as “a touching\, committed tribute” (*I Care If You Listen*)\, is an homage to the late Pulitzer Prize-winner Steven Stucky. The disc features Stucky’s Sonata for violin and piano\, two new works by Stucky’s students Jesse Jones and Tonia Ko\, and the previously unrecorded Violin Sonata of Robert Palmer.\n\nA two-time prize-winner at the prestigious Fischoff competition\, Nicholas is passionately committed to collaboration\, and has performed chamber music with Laurie Smukler\, Joel Krosnick\, Joseph Lin\, Peter Salaff\, and Ani Kavafian\, as well as members of the Meta4 Quartet.

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.

Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers DESCRIPTION:Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power\, a cadre of European Jews—German\, Polish\, Hungarian\, Austrian\, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport\, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer\, journalist\, painter\, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.\n \n They did\, however\, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures\, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers\, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work\, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.\n \n Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe\, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille\, France on May 7\, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary\, Belgium\, France\, and Germany: Ilse Bing\, Josef Breitenbach\, Boris Lipnitsky\, Charles Leirens\, Yolla Niclas\, Fred Stein\, Monie Tannen\, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills\, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.\n \n This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world\, seeing it through European eyes.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides\, military checkpoints\, walls\, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine. \n\nSouq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza\, sharing the stories of\, and images captured by\, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them\, Fouad Abu Khammash\, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.\n\n< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi\, Zainab Hakim\, Mariam Odeh\, and Vivian M.

We hope to bring together a diverse set of critical interests and disciplines on a terrain where death and precarious (after)lives lay bare the politics of exclusion\, the erosion of memory\, and the ethical responsibilities that confront us in the face of current crises. Our graduate student-organized conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogues\; we welcome researchers\, independent scholars\, and artists to join us in exploring death\, rebirth\, and the in-between.\n\nFor our 28th annual conference\, the Comparative Literature Intra-student Faculty Forum (CLIFF) invites 15 minute presentations based in literary analysis\, critical theory\, history\, politics\, anthropology\, translation studies\, and interdisciplinary work. These presentations may take the form of academic papers\, creative work\, performance\, and/or visual media. \n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year’s keynote speaker will be Dr. Luciana Chamorro\, professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. Dr. Chamorro is a socio-cultural anthropologist studying revolution and its afterlives in the Central American region and its diasporas. Her work includes research on political revolution and violence\, desire and affect\, generational difference\, states of exception\, and feminist and queer imaginaries of the future. \n\nIf you are planning to attend this event and need accommodations\, please notify the organizers by February 22\, 2024\, so that proper arrangements can be made. The organizers can be contacted at cliff.complit@umich.edu.\n\nOur conference is entirely organized by graduate students in the University of Michigan's Department of Comparative Literature. This year's organizing members are Arianna Afsari\, CC Barrick\, Delsa Lopez\, and Sanjana Ramanathan.

Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq\, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.\n\nIn the United States\, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized\, under despotic rule\, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students\, and students who became mentors to new students\, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism\, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.\n\nView the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library\, Tappan Hall\, 855 S.

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.

Within this broader methodological perspective\, sound measurement is foundational to the quantitative enterprise. Despite the problematic history of measurement\, it can be repurposed for critical and equitable ends. MIMIC (Multiple Indicator and Multiple Causes) models are a measurement strategy to simply and efficiently test whether a measure means the same thing and can be measured in the same way across groups (e.g.\, racial/ethnic and/or gender groups). This talk considers the affordances and limitations of MIMICs for critical quantitative methods\, by detecting and mitigating racial\, ethnic\, gendered\, and other forms of bias in items and in measures. Discussion topics will include the affordances of Crit Quant vs QuantCRiT (Quantitative Critical Race Theory) and how Crit Quant and MIMICs do (and don't) detect racism in psychological and social science measures.

Together with our faculty\, graduate students\, and visiting and post-doctoral fellows we have pushed scholarship in Armenian Studies in new directions through our collective efforts. \n\nThe Thirteenth Annual International Graduate Student Workshop will focus on various issues related to the modern Armenian language. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the establishment of Armenian independence\, de-Russification processes have allowed Eastern Armenian to gain an increasing presence in a variety of public institutions in the Republic of Armenia. At the same time\, the future of the many regional dialects of Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) remains uncertain\, in light of both the globalizing modern media environment and the region’s political precarity. In the diaspora\, Western Armenian has been in crisis mode\, even being declared an endangered language by UNESCO. Yet this crisis has also coincided with\, or even itself engendered\, somewhat of a resurgence\, as diaspora communities continue to search for innovative ways to make Western Armenian an everyday part of individuals’ lives. In both the Republic of Armenia and the diaspora\, different varieties of Armenian are constantly coming into contact with one another as well as with foreign languages such as English\, Russian\, and French. What effects have these circumstances had on Armenian and its speakers\, and what will be the future trajectory of the language? How has the linguistic landscape of the Republic of Armenian been affected by recent and ongoing sociopolitical upheavals? What are some of the novel methodologies being used to promote the maintenance and flourishing of Western Armenian\, and to what extent have these been successful? How are teachers of Armenian - both Eastern and Western - responding to this new transcultural moment that the language finds itself in? These are only some of the questions we hope to inform our discussion.\n\n\n*Friday\, March 8\, 2024*\n\n9:45 AM - 10:00 AM | Opening Remarks \nArakel Minassian (University of Michigan) Emma Portugal (University of Michigan) Gottfried Hagen (University of Michigan)\n\n10:00 AM - 12:00 PM | Panel I: Roots of Modern Armenian Literary Languages\nModerator: Jennifer Manoukian (University of California\, Irvine)\n\nEmma Avagyan (University of Michigan)\n Printed Perspectives: The Role of Periodicals in Armenian Language Evolution\n\nAram Ghoogasian (Princeton University)\nNew Tongues: The Armenian Language Question\, 1840s–1860s\n\nRoza Armen Melkumyan (National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia)\nLiterary-cultural significance of Van dialect in Gurgen Mahari's \"Burning Orchards\"\n\n12:00 PM - 1:00 PM | Lunch for Workshop Participants\n\n1:00 PM - 2:30 PM | Panel II: Eastern Armenian Dialects Today\nModerator: Michael Pifer (University of Michigan)\n\nHripsime Hrayr Khachatryan (Pázmány Péter Catholic University\, Budapest)\nThe Roots of Hadrut: Preserving the Hadrut Regional Dialect as a Critical Component of Armenian Identity\n\nEmma Portugal (University of Michigan)\nExamining the Maintenance of Dialect Features in Colloquial Urban ArmenianSpeech via Variationist Analysis of Vowels in Gavar\, Armenia\n\n2:30 PM - 2:45 PM | Break\n\n2:45 PM - 4:15 PM | Panel III: Contemporary Armenian Language Teaching and Research\nModerator: Talar Chahinian (University of California\, Irvine)\n\nAlexia Hatun (University of California\, Los Angeles)\nThe “Creative Literacy” Approach to Armenian Language Instruction: A Theoretical Analysis)\n\nAlexia Hatun (University of California\, Los Angeles) & Annika Topelian (University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa)\nA Meta-Analysis of Contemporary Research in Armenian Linguistics: Presenting a New Research Initiative\n\n4:15 PM - 4:30 PM | Break\n\n4:30 PM - 6:00 PM | Keynote Lecture I\nShushan Karapetian (University of Southern California)\nFrom 'Linguistic Compartmentalization' to 'Language and Masculinity': The Evolution of an Idea\n\n*Saturday\, March 9. 2024*\n\n10:00 AM - 12:00 PM | Panel IV: Western Armenian: Past\, Present\, Future\nModerator: Ben Fortson (University of Michigan)\n\nAnnika Topelian (University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa)\nWord Order Properties of Declaratives and Wh-Questions in Adult (Heritage) Western Armenian\n\nArthur Ipek (City University of New York)\nThe Task of the Lexicographer: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Comparative Lexicography and the Case of Western Armenian\n\nGeorge Balabanian (University of Pennsylvania)\nThe Development and Spread of Western Armenian Dialects\n\n12:00 PM - 1:30 PM | Lunch\n\n1:30 PM - 3:30 PM | Panel V: Armenian(s) in the Diaspora\nModerator: Shushan Karapetian (University of Southern California)\n\nJulianne Kapner (University of California\, Berkeley)\nIntroducing the Armenian Language in the Bay Area Project\n\nInessa Arustamyan (Pázmány Péter Catholic University\, Budapest)\nOne Language\, Many Voices: Interactions between Eastern and Western Armenian in Budapest\n\nSetrag Hovsepian (Arizona State University)\nAn Armenian School in Damascus - A Study of Visual Anthropology and Language Maintenance\n\n3:30 PM - 4:00 PM | Break\n\n4:00 PM - 5: 30 PM | Keynote Lecture II\nTalar Chahinian (University of California\, Irvine)\nKeeping Up With the Armenians: Contact Zones and Language Mobility in the Armenian World Today\n\nRegister here: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91769254957\n\nCosponsors: Department of Comparative Literature and Department of Linguistics\, Office of Research\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact armenianstudies@umich.edu.

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:114750-21833445@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.

However\, sampling from the resulting posterior distribution is a challenge. To address this problem\, previous works have proposed approximations to skew the drift term of the diffusion. In this work\, we take a different approach and utilize the specific structure of the DDM prior to define a set of intermediate and simpler posterior sampling problems\, resulting in a lower approximation error compared to previous methods. We empirically demonstrate the reconstruction capability of our method for general linear inverse problems on the basis of synthetic examples and various image restoration tasks.

Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

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’....

Consumers make inferences from previously searched objects to unsearched objects that are nearby in attribute space\, generating path dependence in search sequences. The estimated model rationalizes patterns in data on online consumer search paths: search tends to converge to the chosen product in attribute space\, and consumers take larger steps away from rarely purchased products. Eliminating spatial learning reduces consumer welfare by 13%: cross-product inferences allow consumers to locate better products in a shorter time. Spatial learning has important implications for product recommendations on retail platforms. We show that consumer welfare can be reduced by unrepresentative product recommendations and that consumer-optimal product recommendations depend both on consumer learning and competition between platforms.\n\nThis talk is presented by the Applied Microeconomics/Industrial Organization Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Jean Coven Speakers Fund in Economics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

Weber\, Jr. 
Distinguished Lecture in Environmental and Energy Sustainability DESCRIPTION:\"Emerging Basic Science Questions Regarding Water Transport in Polymers for Water Purification\, Resource Recovery\, and Energy Applications\"\n\nJoin us in honor of Dr. Weber's remarkable 46-year legacy at the University of Michigan\, where his impact as a scientist\, educator\, and mentor truly shaped the field of environmental engineering. Celebrated as one of the \"One Hundred Engineers of the Modern Era\" by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers\, his esteemed career is an inspiration to us all. Don't miss this opportunity to connect at the lecture that continues his tradition of excellence and innovation and encourage your students to do the same! \n\nAbstract:\nThis presentation will focus on a foundational question regarding the transport mechanism of small molecules through polymers for liquid separations\, specifically water transport through membranes being used or considered for use in\, for example\, desalination\, resource recovery\, and fuel cell membranes. Historically\, the transport of small molecules\, such as gases\, water\, ions\, organic solutes\, etc. through dense membranes that do not have fixed\, permanent pores spanning the membrane\, is described by the solution-diffusion model. In this model\, small molecules partition from a contiguous fluid phase into the membrane\, and the membrane/fluid interface is at thermodynamic equilibrium\, so equilibrium partitioning of solutes into membranes can be modeled using the machinery of thermodynamics. The rate limiting step for transport in virtually all membranes is the diffusion of the small molecules through the membrane\, typically drive by a concentration gradient\, electric field\, or both. Water will permeate through a membrane under the influence of a hydrostatic pressure difference. That is\, a membrane exposed to a high hydrostatic pressure on one side and a low hydrostatic pressure on the other will permeate water from the high pressure to low pressure side of the membrane. This phenomenon is commonly observed in\, for example\, desalination membranes\, such as reverse osmosis membranes. The solution-diffusion model uses thermodynamic principles to link the pressure difference across the membrane to a concentration gradient in the membrane\, with water permeation occurring because of Fickian diffusion of water down its concentration gradient in the membrane.\n\nIn the past few years\, studies have been published purporting to demonstrate that\, in fact\, water transport through such membranes is governed by a pore flow model\, where water transport is presumed to occur via a network of interconnected\, water-filled subnanometer channels or pores\, with water flowing through the pores due to the imposed hydrostatic pressure difference across the membrane. Such pores are presumed to be too small to observe directly by any known technique\, so evidence for this hypothesis comes indirectly from (primarily) water transport data and computer simulations.\n\nA dispositive distinguishing feature between the solution-diffusion and pore flow models is the existence of a water concentration gradient inside a membrane subjected to a hydrostatic pressure gradient. In the solution-diffusion mechanism\, the hydrostatic pressure difference across the membrane induces a water concentration gradient inside the membrane\, and in the pore flow model\, no such concentration gradient would be observed. Therefore\, we have conducted experimental studies to directly measure the water concentration as a function of distance through a series of polymer membranes\, including cellulose acetate\, Nafion\, and crosslinked hydrogels based on poly(ethylene oxide) under hydrostatic pressure differences as high as 200 bar or more. Our studies show distinct concentration gradients in all of the membrane materials considered\, with the flux and concentration gradients well-described by Fick’s law of diffusion and conventional solution thermodynamics.\n\nSpeaker Bio: \nBenny Freeman is the William J.

The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an evidence-based treatment model for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The group is designed for parents and caregivers with children ages 5 and under who have diagnosed or suspected ASD or a Developmental Delay.\n\nThe parent training group is designed to teach parents these strategies to increase the number of intervention hours that young children receive. A secondary goal is to support parents of children with ASD/Developmental Delays and help them develop a community of parents in a similar life stage. Since it is a parent training group\, children are welcome but not required to attend.\n\nRequirements:\n1. In order to enroll in the group\, the caregiver must have a child ages 5 or under who has diagnosed or suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder or developmental delay (e.g. speech delay\, Global Developmental Delay etc). \n\n2. Participating families must attend one group screening/orientation session prior to the start of the group\, to ensure that they are a good fit for the group. This initial screening appointment will last approximately 30-45 minutes.\n\nWhen: 12 – 1 p.m. Fridays\, beginning January 26 (10 weeks).\nWhere: Online via Zoom\n\nProspective clients should call UCCF at (734) 615-7853 to schedule their orientation/screening appointment.

A Zoom option is also provided.\n\nSeminar Description:\nMinimizing the energy of a many-body system is a fundamental problem in many fields. Although we hope a quantum computer can help us solve this problem better than classical computers\, we have a very limited understanding of where a quantum advantage may be found. In this talk\, I will present some recent theoretical advances that shed light on quantum advantages in this domain. First\, I describe rigorous analyses of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm applied to minimize energies of classical spin glasses. For certain families of spin glasses\, we find the QAOA has a quantum advantage over the best known classical algorithms. Second\, we study the problem of finding a local minimum of the energy of quantum systems. While local minima are much easier to find than ground states\, we show that finding a local minimum under thermal perturbations is computationally hard for classical computers\, but easy for quantum computers.

Unlike crystalline materials\, the packing structure in a disordered material is often hard to describe mathematically\, which prohibits us from understanding the deformation from a structure-property point of view. In this presentation\, I will first present experimental results of the deformation of a layer of granular particles floating at an air-oil interface\, through which I can demonstrate the elasto-plastic nature of deformation in the quasi-static regime. Based on the experimental results\, a machine learning-based modeling framework was developed based on the interplay between elasticity\, packing structure\, and quasi-localized rearrangements of particles. The model can capture a ductile-to-brittle transition observed in the experimental system due to the change of particle properties.\n\nIn the second part of the talk\, I will demonstrate the implications of the complex mechanical behaviors of granular materials for locomotion. In this problem\, granular matter can be considered as a soft and yielding medium that interacts with a deforming body. I will show experimentally that a scallop-like swimmer with reciprocally flapping wings generates locomotion in granular matter\, which is often not possible in Newtonian liquids at low Reynolds numbers. We use X-ray imaging and discrete element method simulations to reveal the microscopic picture of how the wings interact with surrounding particles. The locomotion is enabled by a prolonged hysteresis in the material response that originates from a combination of jamming-induced material rigidity and plastic deformation of the free surface. Cooperative effects are observed when the two wings are in close proximity\, which potentially involves interaction of zones with jammed particles as well as heap building on the free surface.\n\nContact: Silas Alben UID:114767-21833582@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114767 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240304T001005 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240308T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240308T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Compactification of the Hurwitz Scheme DESCRIPTION:We are motivated by the following problem: which curves are d-sheeted covering spaces of the projective line? We discuss the moduli space of d-sheeted coverings\, the *Hurwitz Scheme\,* together with a particular compactification due to Mumford and Harris. This compactification\, and its relationship to the compactification of the moduli space of genus g curves\, allows us to use graph-theoretic tools to help determine whether certain general curves are d-sheeted coverings of P^1.

We also have plausible candidates for UV physics that reconciles General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. But there is also Bad News: Decoupling - which beautifully explains why low-energy measurements are largely insensitive to UV details - seems a central organizing feature of Nature that thwarts the extraction of fundamental insights about UV physics from astrophysical or cosmological observations. This talk argues that all is not lost because some UV features can penetrate the decoupling barrier in interesting ways. In particular generic accidental symmetries can robustly point to the existence of scalars in the low-energy effective theory (and these are not just axions). Normally we are taught that naturalness arguments preclude these scalars from being light enough or too weakly coupled to be important for tests of gravity\, but I argue that the additional information that the observed Dark Energy is so small puts us in a regime where some scalars are pseudo-dilatons (ie naturally light with Brans-Dicke couplings to matter). The question of why these scalars are not already detected motivates more detailed studies of whether screening mechanisms exist that could have hidden them from present-day tests of gravity. Crucially they must do so in a way consistent with other properties of UV completions of gravity (in a way that standard screening mechanisms - like Chameleons - are not). The talk describes new proposals for such UV-consistent screening mechanisms and why they thread a blind spot in current theoretical approaches to testing gravity. If time permits I will also explore other implications these models might have\, including possible relevance to other problems like the Hubble tension.

These tori cover almost all of the cluster variety\, but not quite all of it\; the \"deep locus\" is the part of the cluster variety which is not in any cluster torus. In joint work with Marco Castronovo\, Mikhail Gorsky and José Simental Rodríguez\, we conjecture a description of the deep locus\, and prove it for braid varieties on 2 and 3 strands. In this talk\, I will explain our conjecture\, and I will make clear what combinatorial problem we'd need to solve in order to prove this result for all braid varieties. I will not assume that the audience has seen cluster varieties or braid varieties before and\, indeed\, I hope that this talk will serve as a good introduction to those topics.

In my talk I will describe a new method for modeling joints that allows for testing of hypotheses about articular cartilage morphology in extinct taxa. Our case study examines the left elbow of the sauropod dinosaur Dreadnoughtus schrani using articular cartilage reconstructions constrained by extant phylogenetic bracketing (EPB). EPB investigations of alligator and chicken articular cartilage revealed the presence of a spherical anterior projection of cartilage on the distal humerus which articulates with the radius during flexion. Importantly\, this shape does not directly mirror the underlying bone. I will present the results of multibody dynamic modeling of three alternative cartilage reconstructions based on these EPB findings which differ in mediolateral placement of a cartilage sphere and its anteroposterior thickness\, encompassing a range of possibilities for the condition in Dreadnoughtus. Each model\, include of two EPB taxa\, produced distinct results that were generally similar\, supporting this modeling methodology. Based on these findings\, we predict that Dreadnoughtus\, and presumably other extinct archosaurs\, had a spherical projection of cartilage on the anterior face of the distal end of the humerus for articulation with the radius. Future studies applying these methods within a quantitative hypothesis-testing framework can advance the field of paleobiology by testing hypotheses relating shape and kinematics that are not possible with prescribed joint motions.

We apologize for any inconvenience.\n\nOn March 29\, 2023\, the Delhi Art Gallery (DAG) announced its purchase of the modernist painter Jamini Roy’s house as India’s first professionally run private single artist museum—the Jamini Roy House Museum. Contrary to this statement by the DAG\, the conversion of artists’ homes into museums has a longer history in India.\n \n But more significantly\, the announcement is a helpful reminder that the history of the house museum remains largely unexplored in the context of South Asia. If the Industrial Revolution\, the rise of the modern state\, and colonial conquests gradually lent new value to the private homes of illustrious figures as publicly accessible sites for the acquisition and display of various kinds of collections in Europe and the United States\, the reanimation of the house as a museum is tied to the decline of colonialism and the articulation of nationalisms in South Asia. In a departure from the imaginary of the historic house or personal collection that anchors dominant accounts of the European and/or American house museum\, the conversion of homes of Indian royal\, literary\, political\, and cinematic icons into museums is often centered on memorializing the public life and authority of the deceased individual. Here\, their domestic space and effects are represented as a site of reverence with recourse to religious and secular modes of exhibition\, which speaks to the museum’s place in an expanded field of South Asian visual culture and public remembrance.\n \n By attending to the layered histories and varied modes of display that characterize particular “memorial homes” and other houses as museums in India\, this talk will undertake a processual engagement with the houseness of the house museum\, highlighting its potential to illuminate the densities of the relationship between museums and public culture in postcolonial South Asia.\n \n Tankha is an art historian of modern and contemporary South Asia. His research is focused on the relationship between aesthetics\, politics\, and postcolonialism in India. In his current book project\, tentatively titled “Nagaland and the Art of Indigenous Presence in Postcolonial South Asia\,” he explores the slippage that craft objects\, memorial monuments\, and house museums perform across ritual and secular domains of practice\, the tensions that characterize this border-crossing\, and what that tells us about the contemporaneity of art and the political significance of the aesthetic in the Indigenously-inhabited\, predominantly Christian\, and contested state of Nagaland in northeast India.\n \n His research and teaching draw on his graduate studies in art history and anthropology\, ethnographic research on museums\, archival research on photography and modern and contemporary art in India\, and teaching in universities and independent educational institutions in India\, the University of Toronto\, and Yale University.\n \n His work has appeared in Marg\, Trans Asia Photography\, Lalit Kala Contemporary\, IIC Quarterly\, and in the books\, The Artful Pose: Early Studio Photography in Mumbai c.1855-1940 (Mapin Publishing\, 2010) and No Touching\, No Spitting\, No Praying: the museum in South Asia\, edited by Saloni Mathur & Kavita Singh (Routledge\, 2015).\n \n Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

Steady. Still.\" - Master of Fine Arts in Dance First Year Performance DESCRIPTION:After a semester of curation and making\, this event features works by Kiana Cook\, Scott Crandall\, Leah Crosby\, Ginny Jiang\, and Timothy Tsang\, students who were enrolled in Dance 532 (Grad Performance) with Professor Charli Brissey in the winter 2024 term. *Good. Steady. Still.* is a diverse 60-minute show with original lighting design by Mary Cole. \n\nFree tickets are available at the door starting one hour before the performance. Doors open at 7:30 and the show starts promptly at 8pm with no intermission. This performance is made possible through generous support from University of Michigan-Ann Arbor’s School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.\n\nKiana “KC” Cook will present a work on her identity development as a mixed-race child turned woman entitled\, *Steady Searchin’ for My Halo*. Scott Crandall’s *Cousin Lizzie’s First Birthday* is an experiment in how to lengthen and shrink the distance between performer and audience\, and between the audience members from each other. Leah Crosby’s *Tenderizing* uses junk shop technology to tell stories about learning how to be taken care of. It is an illustrated podcast\, it is a puppet show… It is basically a really emo powerpoint presentation. Ginny Jiang’s piece is filled with seemingly ridiculous\, abnormal\, unsafe\, wary\, probing actions which hint at the character of a person's body and movements. Inspired by acts of self-navigation and resistance\, Ginny delves into the wilderness of thought and the meaning of wild\, free-growing vitality through the power of vision and figuration. Timothy Tsang is debuting a solo as a tribute to the memory of Brian Anthony Moczygemba.\n\nAccessibility: ADA accessible\nContent Rating: PG-13 for mild language\n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS\n \nKIANA “KC” COOK is a multidisciplinary artist\, cultural producer\, and practitioner of street and social dance forms from the African diaspora.

They are a daydream creator interested in the empathetic potential of fantasy\, the use of play and pleasure\, the activation of public spaces\, and designing participatory events. With cheeky humor and a flair for the devastating\, they use audio\, performance\, and games to make work that is hilariously sad. They are an MFA candidate at the Penny Stamps School of Art and Design.\n \nLINGJING (GINNY) JIANG is a site-oriented artist\, educator\, filmmaker\, choreographer and dancer\, MFA student at the University of Michigan.

After a decade in Shanghai\, he returned to the Chicago suburbs to complete high school and obtained his BA in Dance from Columbia College Chicago. Many of Tsang’s choreographic endeavors since have centered around inquiries into identity\, contributing to a deeper connection with cultural narratives that shape his identity as a queer Chinese-American artist. Currently\, Tsang is a graduate student at the University of Michigan\, focusing his studies on exploring the intersections between cultures\, identities\, and dance\, with the goal of further developing a multidisciplinary practice and refining his voice as a Queer Chinese-American artist.

We are excited to start off Astronomy night with a feature talk from U-M Astronomy Professor Emily Rauscher called Weird and Wacky Weather on Extrasolar Worlds.\n\nMany of the exoplanets that have been found orbiting around nearby stars have atmospheres completely unlike any in our Solar System. The most extreme examples have supersonic winds\, clouds made of mineral and metallic dust\, and even electrical currents flowing through the gas. Prof. Rauscher will discuss how we learn about these extreme examples of weather\, from both observations and computer models.\n\nTalk begins at 8PM and will be followed by tours at 8:30PM through the historic Detroit Observatory and\, if weather permits\, night sky observing through the historic Fitz Telescope.\n\nYou may purchase a ticket for either the talk plus telescope observing or just for telescope observing.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides\, military checkpoints\, walls\, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine. \n\nSouq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza\, sharing the stories of\, and images captured by\, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them\, Fouad Abu Khammash\, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.\n\n< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi\, Zainab Hakim\, Mariam Odeh\, and Vivian M.

We hope to bring together a diverse set of critical interests and disciplines on a terrain where death and precarious (after)lives lay bare the politics of exclusion\, the erosion of memory\, and the ethical responsibilities that confront us in the face of current crises. Our graduate student-organized conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogues\; we welcome researchers\, independent scholars\, and artists to join us in exploring death\, rebirth\, and the in-between.\n\nFor our 28th annual conference\, the Comparative Literature Intra-student Faculty Forum (CLIFF) invites 15 minute presentations based in literary analysis\, critical theory\, history\, politics\, anthropology\, translation studies\, and interdisciplinary work. These presentations may take the form of academic papers\, creative work\, performance\, and/or visual media. \n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year’s keynote speaker will be Dr. Luciana Chamorro\, professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. Dr. Chamorro is a socio-cultural anthropologist studying revolution and its afterlives in the Central American region and its diasporas. Her work includes research on political revolution and violence\, desire and affect\, generational difference\, states of exception\, and feminist and queer imaginaries of the future. \n\nIf you are planning to attend this event and need accommodations\, please notify the organizers by February 22\, 2024\, so that proper arrangements can be made. The organizers can be contacted at cliff.complit@umich.edu.\n\nOur conference is entirely organized by graduate students in the University of Michigan's Department of Comparative Literature. This year's organizing members are Arianna Afsari\, CC Barrick\, Delsa Lopez\, and Sanjana Ramanathan.

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).

Language Revitalization and Resurgence: The Case of Modern Armenian DESCRIPTION:13th Annual International Graduate Student Workshop in Armenian Studies\nLanguage Revitalization and Resurgence: The Case of Modern Armenian\nMarch 8-9\, 2024\nWeiser Hall 1010 / Zoom: 917 6925 4957\n\nOver the years\, the Center for Armenian Studies has fostered dialogue with graduate students around the globe through our annual graduate student workshops. Together with our faculty\, graduate students\, and visiting and post-doctoral fellows we have pushed scholarship in Armenian Studies in new directions through our collective efforts. \n\nThe Thirteenth Annual International Graduate Student Workshop will focus on various issues related to the modern Armenian language. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the establishment of Armenian independence\, de-Russification processes have allowed Eastern Armenian to gain an increasing presence in a variety of public institutions in the Republic of Armenia. At the same time\, the future of the many regional dialects of Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) remains uncertain\, in light of both the globalizing modern media environment and the region’s political precarity. In the diaspora\, Western Armenian has been in crisis mode\, even being declared an endangered language by UNESCO. Yet this crisis has also coincided with\, or even itself engendered\, somewhat of a resurgence\, as diaspora communities continue to search for innovative ways to make Western Armenian an everyday part of individuals’ lives. In both the Republic of Armenia and the diaspora\, different varieties of Armenian are constantly coming into contact with one another as well as with foreign languages such as English\, Russian\, and French. What effects have these circumstances had on Armenian and its speakers\, and what will be the future trajectory of the language? How has the linguistic landscape of the Republic of Armenian been affected by recent and ongoing sociopolitical upheavals? What are some of the novel methodologies being used to promote the maintenance and flourishing of Western Armenian\, and to what extent have these been successful? How are teachers of Armenian - both Eastern and Western - responding to this new transcultural moment that the language finds itself in? These are only some of the questions we hope to inform our discussion.\n\n\n*Friday\, March 8\, 2024*\n\n9:45 AM - 10:00 AM | Opening Remarks \nArakel Minassian (University of Michigan) Emma Portugal (University of Michigan) Gottfried Hagen (University of Michigan)\n\n10:00 AM - 12:00 PM | Panel I: Roots of Modern Armenian Literary Languages\nModerator: Jennifer Manoukian (University of California\, Irvine)\n\nEmma Avagyan (University of Michigan)\n Printed Perspectives: The Role of Periodicals in Armenian Language Evolution\n\nAram Ghoogasian (Princeton University)\nNew Tongues: The Armenian Language Question\, 1840s–1860s\n\nRoza Armen Melkumyan (National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia)\nLiterary-cultural significance of Van dialect in Gurgen Mahari's \"Burning Orchards\"\n\n12:00 PM - 1:00 PM | Lunch for Workshop Participants\n\n1:00 PM - 2:30 PM | Panel II: Eastern Armenian Dialects Today\nModerator: Michael Pifer (University of Michigan)\n\nHripsime Hrayr Khachatryan (Pázmány Péter Catholic University\, Budapest)\nThe Roots of Hadrut: Preserving the Hadrut Regional Dialect as a Critical Component of Armenian Identity\n\nEmma Portugal (University of Michigan)\nExamining the Maintenance of Dialect Features in Colloquial Urban ArmenianSpeech via Variationist Analysis of Vowels in Gavar\, Armenia\n\n2:30 PM - 2:45 PM | Break\n\n2:45 PM - 4:15 PM | Panel III: Contemporary Armenian Language Teaching and Research\nModerator: Talar Chahinian (University of California\, Irvine)\n\nAlexia Hatun (University of California\, Los Angeles)\nThe “Creative Literacy” Approach to Armenian Language Instruction: A Theoretical Analysis)\n\nAlexia Hatun (University of California\, Los Angeles) & Annika Topelian (University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa)\nA Meta-Analysis of Contemporary Research in Armenian Linguistics: Presenting a New Research Initiative\n\n4:15 PM - 4:30 PM | Break\n\n4:30 PM - 6:00 PM | Keynote Lecture I\nShushan Karapetian (University of Southern California)\nFrom 'Linguistic Compartmentalization' to 'Language and Masculinity': The Evolution of an Idea\n\n*Saturday\, March 9. 2024*\n\n10:00 AM - 12:00 PM | Panel IV: Western Armenian: Past\, Present\, Future\nModerator: Ben Fortson (University of Michigan)\n\nAnnika Topelian (University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa)\nWord Order Properties of Declaratives and Wh-Questions in Adult (Heritage) Western Armenian\n\nArthur Ipek (City University of New York)\nThe Task of the Lexicographer: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Comparative Lexicography and the Case of Western Armenian\n\nGeorge Balabanian (University of Pennsylvania)\nThe Development and Spread of Western Armenian Dialects\n\n12:00 PM - 1:30 PM | Lunch\n\n1:30 PM - 3:30 PM | Panel V: Armenian(s) in the Diaspora\nModerator: Shushan Karapetian (University of Southern California)\n\nJulianne Kapner (University of California\, Berkeley)\nIntroducing the Armenian Language in the Bay Area Project\n\nInessa Arustamyan (Pázmány Péter Catholic University\, Budapest)\nOne Language\, Many Voices: Interactions between Eastern and Western Armenian in Budapest\n\nSetrag Hovsepian (Arizona State University)\nAn Armenian School in Damascus - A Study of Visual Anthropology and Language Maintenance\n\n3:30 PM - 4:00 PM | Break\n\n4:00 PM - 5: 30 PM | Keynote Lecture II\nTalar Chahinian (University of California\, Irvine)\nKeeping Up With the Armenians: Contact Zones and Language Mobility in the Armenian World Today\n\nRegister here: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91769254957\n\nCosponsors: Department of Comparative Literature and Department of Linguistics\, Office of Research\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact armenianstudies@umich.edu.

Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

However\, there remains so much mystery about the amorphous state of matter. Glass is not considered a stable form of matter and yet\, it is durable and lasts for millennia.\n\nThis presentation provides an overview of what makes glass so unique as a material\, the historical role it has played in advancing culture and technology based on its physical properties\, and the knowledge we have to date as to what causes glass formation.

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:107870-21817750@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:20240309T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240309T200000 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:114750-21833446@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. 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:86001-21795831@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:20240309T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240309T200000 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:84303-21621229@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:20240405T192228 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240309T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240309T121500 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sea Monsters DESCRIPTION:Journey 80 million years back in time to an age when ferocious prehistoric creatures swarm\, hunt\, and fight for survival beneath the vast\, mysterious seas.\n\nStunning\, realistic imagery recreates the perilous underwater realm of two young\, dolphin-sized marine reptiles called Dolichorhynchops\, and their journey among the most awesome predators ever to prowl the oceans.

Each photograph in “Soulscape” is an invitation to gaze deeply into the authentic spirit of its subjects\, offering a rare glimpse into the unguarded moments that define our shared humanity.

Spanning the late 1970s to the early ’80s\, this movement would for the first time bring together young\, third-generation Asian American activists\, many of them politically radical\, with older\, conservative Korean immigrants. Their unlikely victory\, with Lee walking into freedom in 1983 after 10 years in prison\, would inspire many young supporters to pursue careers dedicated to social justice. The film will explore the complex legacy of this landmark yet largely forgotten Asian American social movement\, and how Lee and his supporters would intimately shape each other’s lives\, during his imprisonment and long after his release.\n \n Directed by Julie Ha and Eugene Yi.\n \n Presented in English and Korean with English subtitles\n\nKorean Cinema NOW 2024 - Diaspora Edition series features critical picks of recent diaspora film hits.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides\, military checkpoints\, walls\, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine. \n\nSouq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza\, sharing the stories of\, and images captured by\, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them\, Fouad Abu Khammash\, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.\n\n< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi\, Zainab Hakim\, Mariam Odeh\, and Vivian M. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week\, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history\, culture\, and politics.

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).

Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

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

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

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:114750-21833447@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. 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:86001-21795832@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:20240310T102038 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240310T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240310T140000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Ginsberg Center Wellness Workshop DESCRIPTION:As we serve others and promote wellness in our communities\, it is critical that we also center our well-being.

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:84303-21621230@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:20240405T192228 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240310T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240310T121500 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sea Monsters DESCRIPTION:Journey 80 million years back in time to an age when ferocious prehistoric creatures swarm\, hunt\, and fight for survival beneath the vast\, mysterious seas.\n\nStunning\, realistic imagery recreates the perilous underwater realm of two young\, dolphin-sized marine reptiles called Dolichorhynchops\, and their journey among the most awesome predators ever to prowl the oceans.

The quartet is heavily influenced by the Juilliard String Quartet — in fact\, it takes its name from JSQ founder Isidore Cohen — and the idea of “approaching the established as if it were brand new\, and the new as if it were firmly established.” In this program\, they move seamlessly from the great musical innovator of the 18th century to a trailblazer of the 21st: Billy Childs\, whose String Quartet No. 2 (“Awakening”) was composed in the wake of his wife’s emergency hospitalization 10 years ago due to a pulmonary embolism.

The bluesman poet pulls closely from the sights and sounds around him\, his lyrical craftsmanship built by his influences. The sounds from his working-class upbringing—including Folkways legends such as Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie—imbue Parr’s music with stylistic echoes of blues and folk icons of decades past. When Parr sings and plays his resonator or 12-string\, you can hear influences like Mance Lipscomb\, Charley Patton\, Spider John Koerner\, Rev. Gary Davis\, and Dock Boggs. This is especially true in his playing\, when\, after a diagnosis of focal dystonia\, Parr turned to greats like Davis\, Doc Watson\, and Booker White for two-finger picking inspiration. \nParr’s first album with Smithsonian Folkways\,” Last of Better Days Ahead” (2021)\, foregrounded his lyrical craftsmanship and sophisticated bluesman confidence\, with spare production highlighting Parr’s mastery of guitar and elevating his poetry. In his 2024 release\, “Little Sun\,” Parr weaves together stories celebrating music\, community\, and communing with nature. Putting forth an ambitious and raw album that exemplifies the best of Parr's sound: a blend of the blues and folk traditions he continues to carry with him and the steadfast originality of a poet.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4592/4593 for more detail.

Latinx Research Week is an interdisciplinary\, conference-style series of events that we host annually on campus to uplift research being conducted by Latinx staff\, faculty\, and students\, as well as research relevant to Latinx populations. This year Latinx Research Week will be held on March 11th - 14th in the Michigan Union. In 2023\, we were thrilled to host 16 research sessions\, allocate space for over 70 presenters\, and welcome over 300 attendees across our events. We hope to see an even greater turn out this year. \n\nhe theme for Latinx Research Week 2024 is Illuminating Familismo. Familismo is a psychological construct as well as a protective Latinx cultural value that emphasizes the importance of family support\, loyalty\, and honor. Through our interdisciplinary program\, we hope attendees will reflect on\, interrogate\, and reimagine how the academy can be transformed to acknowledge\, welcome\, and illuminate both our biological and chosen familial relationships. In past years\, we have seen spouses\, partners\, siblings\, parents\, children\, and members of the larger Latinx community attend Latinx Research Week in support of their presenting family members\, thus reimagining what an academic conference could and should look like. Additionally\, we have seen other families in attendance: families of co-workers\, cohort-mates\, best friends\, and lab families to name a few. We recognize that many members of the Puentes familia may be far from home but have still chosen to plant roots here and create meaningful communities of chosen family members at UM. We hope that our curated program will illuminate the importance of familismo and encourage attendees to imagine how we can transform academic spaces into more inclusive spaces that honor our families\, chosen or otherwise\, and the ways they have supported our academic journeys. Latinx Research Week 2024: Illuminating Familiso highlights the many ways our families motivate\, inspire\, encourage\, humanize\, and uplift us as we conduct groundbreaking work in our respective fields.

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.

Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers DESCRIPTION:Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power\, a cadre of European Jews—German\, Polish\, Hungarian\, Austrian\, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport\, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer\, journalist\, painter\, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.\n \n They did\, however\, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures\, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers\, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work\, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.\n \n Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe\, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille\, France on May 7\, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary\, Belgium\, France\, and Germany: Ilse Bing\, Josef Breitenbach\, Boris Lipnitsky\, Charles Leirens\, Yolla Niclas\, Fred Stein\, Monie Tannen\, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills\, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.\n \n This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world\, seeing it through European eyes.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides\, military checkpoints\, walls\, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine. \n\nSouq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza\, sharing the stories of\, and images captured by\, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them\, Fouad Abu Khammash\, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.\n\n< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi\, Zainab Hakim\, Mariam Odeh\, and Vivian M.

Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq\, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.\n\nIn the United States\, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized\, under despotic rule\, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students\, and students who became mentors to new students\, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism\, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.\n\nView the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library\, Tappan Hall\, 855 S.

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.

We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

The eigenvalue spectrum of a non-Hermitian lattice also fall into bands\, not along the real axis\, but on the complex plane. \"Spectral topology\" characterizes the shape of the shape of the spectrum on the complex plane\, and is hence unique to non-Hermitian bands. Nontrivial spectral topology leads to physical phenomena such as the skin effect\, the anomalous reflection\, and characteristic features in impurity bound states. In this talk\, I will introduce recent progress on the study of spectral topology in non-Hermitian bands.\n\nReferences\nK. Zhang\, Z. Yang\, and C. Fang\, Phys. Rev. Lett. 125\, 126402 (2020)\nK.

A Zoom option is also provided.\n\n\nSeminar Description:\n\n\nSingle erbium ions in crystalline hosts are attractive candidates for solid-state spin-photon interfaces thanks to long-lived spin states and optical transitions in the telecom band\, promising a clear advantage for long-distance quantum network applications. These ions can be incorporated into a wide range of host materials\, which influence their spin and optical coherence properties through the concentration of other magnetic spins and the erbium site symmetry. Using silicon photonic crystal cavities\, we can isolate single erbium ions and investigate their optical and spin properties using resonance fluorescence and optically detected magnetic resonance. In this talk\, I will show our recent work on erbium ions implanted into CaWO4\, which enabled the observation of the high indistinguishability of subsequently emitted photons in the Hong-Ou-Mandel experiment [1]. This represents a notable step towards the construction of telecom band quantum repeater networks with single erbium ions. I will also discuss our recent progress on generating spin-photon and spin-spin entanglement.\n\n[1] S. Ourari*\, Ł. Dusanowski*\, S.P. Horvath*\, M.T. Uysal*\, C.M. Phenicie\, P. Stevenson\, M.

The importance of maternal care and women’s economic contributions to the household throughout evolutionary history and in contemporary societies requires mothers to decide how to allocate their time and energy between work and childcare in ways that support their reproductive success. In Bangladesh\, traditionally boat-dwelling\, semi-nomadic Shodagor women engage in two different occupations – trading and fishing – that require different trade-offs between time spent in work and in childcare. In this talk\, I will discuss these differences and address three questions: 1) What are the social and cultural predictors of variation in women’s work? 2) What role does environmental change play in structuring women’s economic decisions? And 3) Do differences in trade-offs explain differences in fitness consequences for mothers? Examining variation in women’s strategies for solving the adaptive problem of motherhood provides a better understanding of a critical element of human evolution\, and also allows scientists to create models to predict how behavior is likely to change in the future in response to ecological changes (e.g.\, climate change\, local disease ecologies) and to predict the impacts of this on human biology.\n\nDr. Katie Starkweather is an Assistant Professor of Biological Anthropology at the University of Illinois\, Chicago. Prior to that\, she held two postdoctoral positions\, one as an NSF SBE Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of New Mexico and another at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig\, Germany. She received a PhD in Anthropology from the University of Missouri and a Master’s in Anthropology at the University of Nebraska. Dr. Starkweather works in Matlab\, Bangladesh with a group of traditionally boat-dwelling\, semi-nomadic Shodagor traders and fishers on issues related to women’s work\, parental investment\, and household divisions of labor\, environmental change\, and fitness outcomes associated with these socioecological factors\, including reproduction\, growth and nutrition\, and health outcomes. Dr. Starkweather uses a mixed-methods approach to collect multiple types of cross-sectional and longitudinal data in order to answer research questions associated with her interests\, and to address the interests and concerns of the Matlab Shodagor communities.

The promise of this technology has created an international race to innovate\, with significant investment by government as well as industry. And much innovation is needed as 6G aspires to not only support significantly higher data rates than 5G\, but also improved reliability along with excellent coverage indoors and out\, including for underserved areas. New architectures including edge computing must be designed to drastically enhance efficient resource allocation while also reducing latency for real-time control. Breakthrough energy-efficiency architectures\, algorithms and hardware will be needed so that wireless devices can be powered by tiny batteries\, energy-harvesting\, or over-the-air power transfer. And machine learning may will play a big role in the underlying technologies for NextG as well as the “killer apps” that will drive its deployment and success. This talk will describe what the wireless future might look like along with some of the innovations and breakthroughs required to realize this vision. \n\nBio\n\nAndrea Goldsmith is the Dean of Engineering and Applied Science and the Arthur LeGrand Doty Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Princeton University.

In particular\, these models use either a complex index of refraction or a complex nuclear scattering potential to account for attenuation caused by non-elastic scattering. I briefly outline the historical development of these models\, and give examples illustrating the close analogy between them\, their parameters\, and the resulting scattering. In these and related scattering models\, the ratio of the incident wavelength to the object size\, λ/D\, can be determined from the scattering characteristics\, allowing the extraction of microscopic particle dimensions over many orders of magnitude (e.g. nm to fm). This close analogy allows one to simulate accelerator-based nuclear scattering experiments with table-top optical-scattering experiments.

By the work of Hida and Tilouine the congruences of such forms are governed by the L-value associated with the Hecke character. On the other hand\, the Jacquet-Langlands lift of these modular forms to a quaternion algebra can be realized a the theta lift of the character to the corresponding unitary group. We will focus on the case when the unitary group is definite and discuss how one can p-integrally normalize the theta lift and the Rallis inner product formula. As a result we obtain a similar statement for the congruences. We will also discuss further arithmetic applications if time permits.

Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer\, journalist\, painter\, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have the means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language. \n\nThey did\, however\, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures\, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers\, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work\, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.\n\nOf the dozens of photographers who fled Europe\, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille\, France on May 7\, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary\, Belgium\, France\, and Germany: Ilse Bing\, Josef Breitenbach\, Boris Lipnitsky\, Charles Leirens\, Yolla Niclas\, Fred Stein\, Monie Tannen\, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills\, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.\n\nThis exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world\, seeing it through European eyes. \n\n\"Camera as a Passport\" is open for public viewing from 8 am - 5 pm\, Monday through Friday. The University of Michigan College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts greatly values inclusion and access for all.

Hoyt and Tidiane Ly) DESCRIPTION:We establish a framework to quantify the welfare effects of decentralized policies. Local policies result in benefit-spillovers\, mobility of households and firms\, and interjurisdictional fiscal externalities that are not internalized by the government enacting the policy. Their magnitudes are measured by a new metric\, the \"marginal corrective transfer\" (MCT)\, the share of funding the federal government should provide to induce a locality to internalize these interjurisdictional externalities. Formally\, the MCT is estimated as the wedge between the marginal value of public funds (MVPF) of the locality enacting the policy and the MVPF of the entire federation. To calculate this wedge\, we develop a rigorous framework for distinguishing between the benefits and costs that are internal and those that are external to the enacting locality. The MCT enables comparisons of local policies\, allowing the federal government to prioritize policies based on the relative external benefits and costs. Empirically\, we show that property tax cuts\, K-12 education\, and higher education have positive MCT's\, implying federal subsidies should be employed while race-to-the-bottom type policies such as wealth tax cuts and bidding-for-firm programs with negative MCTs should be federally taxed. Depending on the taxing instruments utilized at the state level\, we show if states rank policies to intervene on\, they may diverge substantially from the federal government and from other states.\n\nThis talk is presented by the Public Finance Seminar\, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Elizalde-Winikates Family Fund in Economics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

It is particularly beneficial when the chemical methods are convenient while at the same time economically and environmentally tenable and sustainable. A focus of our research program at ETH-Zurich is the identification\, study\, and development of novel reactions and methods for preparation of functionalized structures. We are especially interested in catalytic processes that are easily executed and utilize readily available starting materials. We will discuss several new reaction processes that provide ready access to a host of fundamentally versatile building blocks for synthesis. The presentation will focus in part on the unique reactivity of Ir-complexes with a novel phosphoramidite-olefin ligand. We have found that these can activate allylic alcohols towards a wide range of direct displacement reactions\, giving rise to optically active products.\n\nTUESDAY TITLE: New Strategies and Tactics in Natural Products Synthesis\nTUESDAY ABSTRACT: The presentation will include discussion and analysis of recent natural product targets that have been synthesized in the group. It will focus on target-oriented synthesis as an engine for the generation of novel methods and approaches to bioactive agents.

Since then Margulis' results have been generalized to many other contexts where some whiff of hyperbolicity is present.\nThus a 2011 result of Eskin and Mirzakhani shows that for a closed hyperbolic surface S of genus $g\ge 2$\, the number $N(L)$ of closed Teichmuller geodesics of length $\le L$ in the moduli space of $S$ grows as $e^{hL}/(hL)$ where $h=6g-6$. The number $N(L)$ is also equal to the number of conjugacy classes of pseudo-Anosov elements $\phi$ in the mapping class group $MCG(S)$ with $\log\lambda(\phi)\le L$\, where $\lambda(\phi)>1$ is the ``dilatation\" or ``stretch factor\" of $\phi$. \n\nWe consider an analogous problem in the $Out(F_r)$ setting\, for the action of the outer automorphism group $Out(F_r)$ of the free group $F_r$ of rank $r$ on a ``cousin\" of the Teichmuller space\, called the Culler-Vogtmann Outer space. In this context being a ``fully irreducible\" element of $Out(F_r)$ serves as a natural counterpart of being pseudo-Anosov. Every fully irreducible $\phi\in Out(F_r)$ acts on the Outer space as a loxodromic isometry with translation length $\log\lambda(\phi)$\, where again $\lambda(\phi)$ is the stretch factor of $\phi$. We estimate the number $N_r(L)$ of fully irreducible elements $\phi\in Out(F_r)$ with $\log\lambda(\phi)\le L$. The number $N_r(L)$ can also be interpreted as the number of homotopy classes of closed “contracting\" geodesics in the moduli space of the Outer space. We prove\, for $r\ge 3$\, that $N_r(L)$ grows \emph{doubly exponentially} in $L$ as $L\to\infty$\, in terms of both lower and upper bounds. This result reveals new behavior not present in classic hyperbolic dynamical systems. The talk is based on a joint paper with Catherine Pfaff.

Additional details regarding each lecture can be found below.\n\nProfessor Anne Curzan\, the Geneva Smitherman Collegiate Professor of English Language and Literature\, Linguistics\, and Education\n\nLecture Title: On Listening and Language Peeves\n\nAbstract: Many of us grew up with a strong sense of “right” and “wrong” in language\, perhaps drilled into us at school or at home. And these rules of correctness\, often naturalized to feel like common sense\, make language one of our most powerful gate-keeping tools\, from schools to workplaces. What happens when we pull back the curtain and ask where these rules come from? Who resists and why? This talk considers the implications for inclusion and justice when we recognize linguistic diversity as part of cultural diversity and language change as part of every living language. \n\nProfessor Robin Queen\, the Sarah G. Thomason Collegiate Professor of Linguistics\n\nLecture Title: On the Performative Power of Taboo Words in Fictional Television and Film\n\nAbstract: Tabooed words present a fascinating source of cross-cultural and cross-linguistic puzzles. For instance\, taboo words in fictional television and film have become much more common since the turn of the century even as they remain formally regulated through ratings systems\, guidelines from the FCC\, and other similar sources. This talk explores the cultural and linguistic factors that have facilitated an increased use of taboo words in fictional television and film along with the ways in which that increase has coincided with reframing regulation away from preventing offense (or breaking the taboo) and toward the ideological protection of children.\n\nDr. Heather Ann Thompson\, the Frank W. Thompson Collegiate Professor of History and African American Studies\n\nLecture Title: On The Ugly 80s: Rethinking Contemporary Police Violence\, White Vigilantism\, and their Contested Reckonings\n\nAbstract: In the popular imagination the decade of the 1980s was all about Big Hair\, garish neon\, consumerism\, and corporate greed. It was also\, in fact\, the crucible of an unprecedented urban crisis. This lecture will revisit the 1980s and its underappreciated legacies in order to shine new light on today’s civic battles over policing as well as its alarming public support for acts of white vigilantism. It draws from new work Thompson is doing on two important moments in that decade—Bernie Goetz’s notorious shooting of Black youth on NYC subway in 1984\, and the Philadelphia police’s bombing of MOVE in 1985.\n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, please click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/99848276472\nOr One tap mobile :\n +13017158592\,\,99848276472# US (Washington DC)\n +13052241968\,\,99848276472# US\nOr Telephone:\n Dial(for higher quality\, dial a number based on your current location):\n +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n +1 305 224 1968 US\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 +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n +1 360 209 5623 US\n +1 386 347 5053 US\n +1 507 473 4847 US\n +1 564 217 2000 US\n +1 669 444 9171 US\n +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n +1 689 278 1000 US\n +1 719 359 4580 US\n +1 253 205 0468 US\n +1 204 272 7920 Canada\n +1 438 809 7799 Canada\n +1 587 328 1099 Canada\n +1 647 374 4685 Canada\n +1 647 558 0588 Canada\n +1 778 907 2071 Canada\n +1 780 666 0144 Canada\nWebinar ID: 998 4827 6472\n International numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/ad7IRdXaaO UID:117822-21840073@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/117822 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240326T123207 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240311T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240311T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Scotiabank's AMIGOS Employee Resource Group Spotlight DESCRIPTION:Scotiabank is one of the leading foreign banks serving large national and multinational corporations in the U.S. through its Global Banking and Markets group.

In this talk\, I will discuss two examples that transcend this traditional framework\, discovered through neutron scattering experiments. Firstly\, in cobalt oxides with a layered hexagonal honeycomb lattice [1]\, we observed novel magnetic structures known as multi-q order [2]\, characterized by clusters of magnetic moments that are separated from each other by less spinful sites [3]\, in analogy to molecular solids (such as iodine) featuring weak chemical bonds. Theoretical analysis [4] suggests that multi-moment interactions are crucial for the emergence of such magnetic orders. Secondly\, in the near-ferromagnet MnSi\, we find that the fundamental magnetic units are not individual Mn atoms\, but are instead multi-atom electron clouds dubbed magnetic molecular orbitals [5]. We propose that the understanding of our observations can benefit from a reexamination of the single-particle physics with topological band theory. The associated correlated electron problems may represent a new frontier in magnetic quantum materials.\n\nReferences:\n[1] Yao and Li\, PRB 101\, 085120 (2020)\; Li et al.\, PRX 12\, 041024 (2022).\n[2] Chen et al.\, PRB 103\, L180404 (2021)\; Yao et al.\, PR Research 5\, L022045 (2023)\; Gu et al.\, arXiv:2306.07175 (to appear as a Letter in PRB).\n[3] Yao et al.\, PRL 129\, 147202 (2022).\n[4] Krüger et al.\, PRL 131\, 146702 (2023).\n[5] Jin et al.\, Sci.

Latinx Research Week is an interdisciplinary\, conference-style series of events that we host annually on campus to uplift research being conducted by Latinx staff\, faculty\, and students\, as well as research relevant to Latinx populations. This year Latinx Research Week will be held on March 11th - 14th in the Michigan Union. In 2023\, we were thrilled to host 16 research sessions\, allocate space for over 70 presenters\, and welcome over 300 attendees across our events. We hope to see an even greater turn out this year. \n\nhe theme for Latinx Research Week 2024 is Illuminating Familismo. Familismo is a psychological construct as well as a protective Latinx cultural value that emphasizes the importance of family support\, loyalty\, and honor. Through our interdisciplinary program\, we hope attendees will reflect on\, interrogate\, and reimagine how the academy can be transformed to acknowledge\, welcome\, and illuminate both our biological and chosen familial relationships. In past years\, we have seen spouses\, partners\, siblings\, parents\, children\, and members of the larger Latinx community attend Latinx Research Week in support of their presenting family members\, thus reimagining what an academic conference could and should look like. Additionally\, we have seen other families in attendance: families of co-workers\, cohort-mates\, best friends\, and lab families to name a few. We recognize that many members of the Puentes familia may be far from home but have still chosen to plant roots here and create meaningful communities of chosen family members at UM. We hope that our curated program will illuminate the importance of familismo and encourage attendees to imagine how we can transform academic spaces into more inclusive spaces that honor our families\, chosen or otherwise\, and the ways they have supported our academic journeys. Latinx Research Week 2024: Illuminating Familiso highlights the many ways our families motivate\, inspire\, encourage\, humanize\, and uplift us as we conduct groundbreaking work in our respective fields.

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.

Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers DESCRIPTION:Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power\, a cadre of European Jews—German\, Polish\, Hungarian\, Austrian\, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport\, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer\, journalist\, painter\, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.\n \n They did\, however\, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures\, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers\, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work\, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.\n \n Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe\, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille\, France on May 7\, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary\, Belgium\, France\, and Germany: Ilse Bing\, Josef Breitenbach\, Boris Lipnitsky\, Charles Leirens\, Yolla Niclas\, Fred Stein\, Monie Tannen\, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills\, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.\n \n This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world\, seeing it through European eyes.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology.

Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq\, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.\n\nIn the United States\, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized\, under despotic rule\, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students\, and students who became mentors to new students\, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism\, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.\n\nView the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library\, Tappan Hall\, 855 S.

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.

Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

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:114750-21833448@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.

Many parents are concerned about the well-being of their children during this time of change. This UCCF workshop delivers practical parenting advice in a collaborative\, caring environment for those going through change. We help parents understand their children’s needs during the transition and offer specific suggestions for creating the most beneficial post-divorce parenting relationships.\n\nThe workshop is free\, but participants are required to register and will receive the Zoom link to access the online event during the registration process.\n\nThe program is an approved alternative to the SMILE Program by the Friend of the Court.

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:84303-21621231@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:20240222T153900 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240312T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240312T124500 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bachmann Lecture DESCRIPTION:MONDAY TITLE: Enantioselective Tactics and strategies with Iridium Catalysis\nMONDAY ABSTRACT: The ability to readily access small-molecule building blocks at will has important consequences for the discovery and development of novel medicines and materials. It is particularly beneficial when the chemical methods are convenient while at the same time economically and environmentally tenable and sustainable. A focus of our research program at ETH-Zurich is the identification\, study\, and development of novel reactions and methods for preparation of functionalized structures. We are especially interested in catalytic processes that are easily executed and utilize readily available starting materials. We will discuss several new reaction processes that provide ready access to a host of fundamentally versatile building blocks for synthesis. The presentation will focus in part on the unique reactivity of Ir-complexes with a novel phosphoramidite-olefin ligand. We have found that these can activate allylic alcohols towards a wide range of direct displacement reactions\, giving rise to optically active products.\n\nTUESDAY TITLE: New Strategies and Tactics in Natural Products Synthesis\nTUESDAY ABSTRACT: The presentation will include discussion and analysis of recent natural product targets that have been synthesized in the group. It will focus on target-oriented synthesis as an engine for the generation of novel methods and approaches to bioactive agents. The methods involve novel\, unexpected reactivity and unusual building blocks that are fully integrated to lead to efficient routes. We will focus specifically on recently completed syntheses.

DESCRIPTION:The talk will be recorded for later viewing. Coffee and snacks will be available.\n\nAbstract: Cellular space is incredibly crowded with biomolecules yet well-organized. However\, we still lack a precise understanding of how cellular spaces at the microscopic scales are spatially organized to give rise to cellular scale behaviors. In this talk\, I will discuss how bacteria as simple living systems manage subcellular space to determine cell size and possibly to optimize cell fitness. First\, I will show how bacteria cells employ some molecules as a ‘space sensor’\; to maintain cell size within a narrow range despite stochasticity during growth. Second\, I will introduce our ongoing effort of testing a fundamental hypothesis suggested by our preliminary observations: the membrane real-estate hypothesis – the cytoplasmic membrane is so packed with proteins that the cell needs to fine-tune the density\, composition\, and organization of the membrane proteins for optimizing cell fitness. We hope these studies will help bridge our understanding of the organization of subcellular components and cell physiology and fitness\, one step towards getting the answer to a fundamental question – how life at the cellular scale emerges from biomolecules and their interactions.

The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: a. The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the other portions. The final result/score/rating will thus be based on the student’s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary. b. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.c. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.Where can I view my results?Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.Important information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Students can take intensive Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 &102\, combined)\, and Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) in the Spring/Summer terms.If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

Photosynthesis and respiration represent the largest fluxes of C between the atmosphere and the terrestrial biosphere\, but the responses of these temperature-dependent physiological processes to warming remain a source of uncertainty in Earth system models. Climate warming impacts ecosystem-scale carbon fluxes through the direct influence of temperature on the rates of photosynthesis and respiration of individual plants\, and also through changes in the species composition of plant communities. Examining how these direct and indirect effects of increasing temperatures on ecosystem C fluxes interact is crucial to predict the capacity of ecosystem-scale C storage under future climatic conditions. Here\, we use a multi-year factorial warming x dominant species removal experiment in montane meadows at two elevations in the Rocky Mountains\, Colorado to examine the abiotic and biotic drivers of C fluxes over a period of eight years. \n\n& with Holly Scheer\, MCDB PhD Student\n\"Enhancer Function and Evolution in Drosophila Pigmentation Variation\"\nPREVIEW: Morphological diversity is one of the most fascinating aspects of biology. One source of variation in morphology across species is the differential expression of patterning transcription factors that activate downstream cell type-specific genes. The patterns of expression of these transcription factors can change over evolutionary time. My goal is to understand the cis- and trans-regulatory components of differential gene expression and their implications for evolution as a whole. In my study\, I compare two different species of fruit flies and their different body color patterns to get mechanistic insight into this evolutionary process.

However\, information on the primary case is often hard to obtain\, especially in scenarios where the disease has a high asymptomatic ratio. Using a hidden Markov model\, we estimate the most likely date of the primary case of a dengue outbreak in a small community in northern coastal Ecuador.\n\n*Bio*:\nHannah is a doctoral student in the Department of Epidemiology. Her research involves using mathematical models of infectious diseases to understand transmission dynamics. She has a background in mathematics and computer science at her undergraduate institution and a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology.\n\nMusawer Ahmad Saqif will present his talk: Fracture and Collapse Simulation of UHPC Structures.\n\nThis presentation delves into the advanced simulation techniques for understanding the fracture and collapse behaviors of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) structures. Leveraging finite element modeling and experimental validation\, the study elucidates the critical mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of UHPC under various conditions. Through a detailed investigation of microstructural characteristics and their impact on macroscopic performance\, the research provides valuable insights into optimizing the design and resilience of UHPC structures against extreme loading scenarios. The findings contribute significantly to the field of civil engineering by enhancing the predictive capabilities for the structural integrity and durability of UHPC infrastructures.\n\n*Bio*:\nM. A. Saqif is a fifth year PhD student in Civil Engineering and Scientific Computing at the Computational Structural Simulation Lab. His research interest lies in fracture and collapse simulation of concrete structures. \n\n*The MICDE PhD Student Seminar Series showcases the research of students in the Ph.D. in Scientific Computing.

In this context\, the emerging field of continuous-variable quantum computation (CV-QC) offers a novel approach. CV-QC leverages continuous quantum information processing units (qumodes)\, mapping each continuous degree of freedom in the system being simulated onto a corresponding qumode of the quantum device. This paradigm presents a distinct contrast to digital quantum simulation methods\, such as the Zalka-Wiesner method\, which discretizes continuous-variable systems for simulation on digital quantum information platforms. In this talk\, we will explore the application of CV-QC to both quantum and classical many-body systems\, with a focus on systems described by QFFs and classical interacting particle systems.

Galip Ulsoy Collegiate Professor of Engineering. Please join Professor Jin and Interim Dean Steve L. Ceccio\, the Vincent T. and Gloria M Gorguze Professor of Engineering\, for the lecture and ceremony.\n\nProfessor Jin will present a lecture entitled\, \"Data Fusion to Empower Smart Manufacturing\".\n\nAbstract\nIn the era of Industrial Big Data\, the convergence of advanced sensor technologies and the Internet of Things has unveiled unprecedented opportunities to empower\nsmart manufacturing through holistic quality control. However\, the abundance of data poses challenges in data analytics\, especially when dealing with massive\nhigh-dimensional streaming data with spatial and temporal heterogeneity. This challenge has driven our data fusion research\, leveraging the rapid evolution of machine learning and high computing capabilities to advance quality control\nmethodologies. This talk will begin with an exploration of opportunities and challenges in the interface research between data science and quality engineering. Several exemplary research projects will be discussed\, focusing on information integration and data-driven decision-making to elevate holistic quality control in smart manufacturing. Those examples will also illustrate the\nimperative need for interdisciplinary collaboration and broad partnerships between academia and industry.

These materials need to be tailored on atomic scale with increasing complexity and diversity leading to new combinations of properties and functionalities that can enable quantum states to be prepared and processed. In this talk we describe our recent work investigating non-equilibrium MBE synthesis of artificially sequenced complex superlattice compounds. The atomic stacking sequences within the unit cell of the novel superlattice compounds are “programmed” by sequential deposition of one atomic layer at a time\, starting with the model system containing two ternary Heusler compounds (e.g.\, Co_2MnSi and Fe_2TiSi)\, and various other atomic stacking sequences. This approach may provide opportunities to encode properties and functionalities into materials.

If G happens to be the fundamental group of a complex projective manifold\, rigid representations are conjectured (by Carlos Simpson) to be of geometric origin. In this talk I will outline the basic properties of rigid local systems and discuss several consequences of Simpson‘s conjecture. I will then outline recent progress on these questions (joint work with Hélène Esnault) and briefly mention applications to geometry and number theory such as the recent resolution of the André-Oort conjecture by Pila-Shankar-Tsimerman.

His primary areas of research focus on law\, violence\, race\, humanity\, and world order(s) in global politics. He is the author of States of Justice: The Politics of the International Criminal Court (Cambridge\, 2020). His writings have appeared in Human Rights Quarterly\, Cambridge Review of International Affairs\, PS: Political Science & Politics\, Journal of Narrative Politics\, African Studies Review \, Africa Today\, Foreign Affairs\, The New York Review of Books\, The Washington Post\, among others. His opinions have been featured in a number of media outlets including Foreign Policy\, Al Jazeera\, Bloomberg\, and BBC. \n\nResearch Focus\nOumar Ba is currently working on two major projects. The first one\, titled Crimes\, Against Humanity: Governing Global Justice is a genealogy of the international criminal justice system within the liberal order\, highlighting its racialized hierarchy of humanity and explaining its current crisis. It also proposes a decentering of The Hague\, through an exploration of worldmaking projects and visions for and alternatives to the current international order\, from Global South perspectives. \n\nThe second project is titled (Re)Centering Decolonization as Ontology and Sifting through the Archives of Liberation. It seeks to (re)center the ontological grounding of decolonization not only as political processes but as praxis grounded in theories of humanism and the universal. To do so\, it sifts through the archives of liberation\, as articulated by Global South voices at the forefront of the decolonization struggle at the UN General Assembly and other international fora. Ultimately\, it contends that decolonization\, as theorized and articulated by these voices\, is a continued generative site of theory and praxis built around a humanistic ethos of the universal.

We will historicize important moments within Korean hip hop from the introduction of “rap dance” in the early 1990s and the birth of the underground scene in the late 1990s to the recent popularity of reality competition shows like Show Me the Money and Unpretty Rapstar. How did Korean hip hop develop in the last three decades as a musical\, cultural\, and artistic entity? How is hip hop understood within the historical\, sociocultural\, and economic matrices of Korean society? How is hip hop represented in Korean media and popular culture? These are some questions that will guide our conversation on the making of hip hop in South Korea.\n \n Dr. Myoung-Sun Song is an assistant professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign. Her research focuses on the representations of race\, gender\, sexuality\, class\, and national identity in Korean media and popular culture. She is the author of Hanguk Hip Hop: Global Rap in South Korea (2019\, Palgrave Macmillan)\, the first scholarly book-length study in English or Korean on the subject of Korean hip hop.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Latinx Research Week is an interdisciplinary\, conference-style series of events that we host annually on campus to uplift research being conducted by Latinx staff\, faculty\, and students\, as well as research relevant to Latinx populations. This year Latinx Research Week will be held on March 11th - 14th in the Michigan Union. In 2023\, we were thrilled to host 16 research sessions\, allocate space for over 70 presenters\, and welcome over 300 attendees across our events. We hope to see an even greater turn out this year. \n\nhe theme for Latinx Research Week 2024 is Illuminating Familismo. Familismo is a psychological construct as well as a protective Latinx cultural value that emphasizes the importance of family support\, loyalty\, and honor. Through our interdisciplinary program\, we hope attendees will reflect on\, interrogate\, and reimagine how the academy can be transformed to acknowledge\, welcome\, and illuminate both our biological and chosen familial relationships. In past years\, we have seen spouses\, partners\, siblings\, parents\, children\, and members of the larger Latinx community attend Latinx Research Week in support of their presenting family members\, thus reimagining what an academic conference could and should look like. Additionally\, we have seen other families in attendance: families of co-workers\, cohort-mates\, best friends\, and lab families to name a few. We recognize that many members of the Puentes familia may be far from home but have still chosen to plant roots here and create meaningful communities of chosen family members at UM. We hope that our curated program will illuminate the importance of familismo and encourage attendees to imagine how we can transform academic spaces into more inclusive spaces that honor our families\, chosen or otherwise\, and the ways they have supported our academic journeys. Latinx Research Week 2024: Illuminating Familiso highlights the many ways our families motivate\, inspire\, encourage\, humanize\, and uplift us as we conduct groundbreaking work in our respective fields.

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.

Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers DESCRIPTION:Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power\, a cadre of European Jews—German\, Polish\, Hungarian\, Austrian\, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport\, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer\, journalist\, painter\, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.\n \n They did\, however\, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures\, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers\, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work\, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.\n \n Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe\, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille\, France on May 7\, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary\, Belgium\, France\, and Germany: Ilse Bing\, Josef Breitenbach\, Boris Lipnitsky\, Charles Leirens\, Yolla Niclas\, Fred Stein\, Monie Tannen\, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills\, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.\n \n This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world\, seeing it through European eyes.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides\, military checkpoints\, walls\, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine. \n\nSouq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza\, sharing the stories of\, and images captured by\, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them\, Fouad Abu Khammash\, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.\n\n< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi\, Zainab Hakim\, Mariam Odeh\, and Vivian M.

It considers the process of germination as a site for the cross-pollination of ideas from diverse disciplines around the future of the built environment. \n\nAbout the artist:\nSusan Goethel Campbell creates multi-disciplinary work that considers the contemporary landscape to be an emergent system where nature\, culture\, and the engineered environment are indistinguishable from one another. Central to her practice is the collection\, documentation\, and observation of seasonal change and ephemera in both natural and artificial environments. Her work is realized in several formats\, including installation\, video\, prints\, and drawings\, as well as projects that engage communities to look at local and global environments.\n\nCampbell earned an MFA in printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium\, Germany\, Switzerland\, and Slovenia and nationally throughout the US\, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, Queens Art Museum\, Crystal Bridges Museum\, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit\, Grand Rapids Art Museum\, the Detroit Institute of Arts\, The Drawing Center\, and The International Print Center New York. In 2009 she was one of 18 artists selected for the inaugural Kresge Artist Fellowship.\n\nCampbell has been awarded residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts\, the Flemish Center for Graphic Arts\, the Jentel Foundation\, Beisinghoff Print Residency\, and the Print Research Institute of North Texas. She taught studio art for 15 years at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and has been a visiting artist in numerous institutions in the United States and abroad. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, New York Public Library\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Toledo Museum of Art\, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library.\n\nThis project is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities' multi-year High Stakes Art initiative.

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:116532-21837335@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116532 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240115T111145 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240313T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240313T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamps School of Art and Design Staff Exhibition DESCRIPTION:January 26-April 12\, 9 am - 5 pm or by appointment\ncontact: serrag@med.umich.edu UID:116536-21837494@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116536 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Connections Gallery located on concourse level CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240122T134822 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240313T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240313T120000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Welcome Wednesday for Students (Free Breakfast) DESCRIPTION:On most Wednesday mornings throughout the semester\, the Alumni Association hosts Welcome Wednesdays for U-M students.

Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

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

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

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:114750-21833449@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:84303-21621232@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:20240328T063213 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240313T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240313T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Virtual Interview Sessions-Research techs- CHOP DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE: WEDNESDAY\, March 13th starting at 10:00 AM- ENDING AT 2PM\n\nDO YOU KNOW TALENTED AND EXPERIENCED RESEARCH TECHNICIANS WHO WOULD LIKE TO\nJOIN CHOP?\n\nRESEARCH TALENT ACQUISITION WILL BE HOSTING AN INFORMATIONAL SESSION ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESEARCH LAB TECHNICIAN ROLES HERE AT CHOP.\nSEEKING APPLICANTS WITH EXPERIENCE IN:\nDNA/RNA ISOLATION FROM BLOOD AND BACTERIAL CULTURE\nPCR\, RT-PCR \nMICE HANDLING\n\n\nregister here: https://careers.chop.edu/us/en/event/65d7cb7173ff725836775cfc/Research-Tech-Information-Session-March-13th-11-00am-2-00pm\n\n UID:119538-21842971@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/119538 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240328T063210 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240313T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240313T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Walk In Wednesday (Radiology) DESCRIPTION:UC Health Business Center - South Lobby Entrance\n3200 Burnet Ave\, Cincinnati\, OH 45229\n(Validated parking available)\n\nAttend our hiring event on Wednesday\, March 13th\, 2024\, to learn more about Radiology position opportunities at UC Health.

These two groundbreaking scholars will join the symposium for a keynote conversation—marking the first-ever public conversation between them. The symposium will also feature interactive sessions on anti-racism in healthcare and anti-racism health research. Additional information about the sessions along with registration information is included below. \n\nAll sessions will take place in the Palmer Commons Great Lakes Room (4th Floor). The keynote Conversation will also be available via livestream. More information can be found on the registration page. \n\n10:00 - 11:30 AM: REIMAGINING HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS: CREATING AN ANTI-RACIST AGENDA TO ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY\nInteractive Session hosted by MSHIELD\n\nColor-evasive solutions have failed to achieve racial equity in healthcare. We need real institutional accountability. This session will include an orienting discussion about an anti-racist agenda for healthcare followed by a panel of clinical\, academic\, and community speakers. Afterward\, attendees will engage in small-group discussions to brainstorm strategies and develop concrete action steps to start creating an anti-racist agenda for healthcare.\n\n1:00 - 2:30 PM: KEYNOTE CONVERSATION\nThe keynote session will be a conversation between Dr. Camara Phyllis Jones and Dr. Chandra Ford. Both known for anti-racism scholarship and advocacy\, these two luminaries will help the audience consider how we move past the action of naming racism as a public health issue and towards substantive action and change in our institutions.\n\nDr. Camara Phyllis Jones is a family physician and epidemiologist whose work focuses on naming\, measuring\, and addressing the impacts of racism on the health and well-being of the nation. Dr. Jones serves as a Commissioner on the O'Neill-Lancet Commission on Racism\, Structural Discrimination\, and Global Health\, and is a past president of the American Public Health Association\, a senior fellow at the Morehouse School of Medicine\, and an adjunct professor at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. Dr. Chandra Ford is Professor at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University and the Department of African American Studies and the Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Racism\, Social Justice & Health. Dr. Ford created (with Collins Airhihenbuwa) the Public Health Critical Race Praxis\, a framework for applying Critical Race Theory to public health research. This event will be live streamed. \n\n3:00 - 4:30 PM: CHARTING A CRITICAL COURSE FOR THE STUDY OF RACIAL HEALTH INEQUITIES\nInteractive Session hosted by RacismLab\n\nThis “fireside” discussion will bring together scholars\, including Ryan Petteway and Monica McLemore\, to speak on two major issues in the public health literature on racial health inequities that challenge our ability as a field to maintain an evidence base to support change: (a) health equity tourism\; and (b) conventional public health research on race that is reductionist\, simplistic\, and poorly theorized. After the moderated discussion\, audience members will work in small facilitated groups\, to reimagine academic research that reflects the importance of racial health inequities to public health.

DESCRIPTION:MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series\nMarch 13\, 2024\n12:00 - 1:00 EDT\n\nIn person\, room 1070\, Institute for Social Research\, and via Zoom. The Zoom call will be locked 10 minutes after the start of the presentation.\n\nWhen “representative” surveys fail: Can a non-ignorable missingness mechanism explain bias in estimates of COVID-19 vaccine uptake?\n\nRecently\, attention was drawn to the failure of two very large internet-based probability surveys to correctly estimate COVID-19 vaccine uptake in the U.S. in early 2021. Both the Delphi-Facebook COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey (CTIS) and Census Household Pulse Survey (HPS) overestimated vaccine uptake substantially (14 and 17 points in May 2021) compared to retroactively available CDC benchmark data. These surveys had large numbers of respondents but very low response rates (<10%)\, and thus non-ignorable nonresponse could have substantially impacted estimates. Specifically\, it is plausible that “anti-vaccine” individuals were less likely to complete a survey about COVID-19\; we might also hypothesize that “anti-vaccine” individuals could be suspicious of the government and thus less likely to respond to an official government-sponsored survey. In this talk we use proxy pattern-mixture models (PPMMs) to retrospectively estimate the proportion of adults (18+) who received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine\, using data from the CTIS and HPS\, under a non-ignorable nonresponse assumption. We compare these estimates to the true benchmark uptake numbers and show that the PPMM could have detected the direction of the bias and have provided meaningful bias bounds. We also use the PPMM to estimate vaccine hesitancy\, a measure without a benchmark truth\, and compare to the direct survey estimates. We conclude with discussion of how the PPMM could be prospectively as part of an assessment of nonresponse and/or selection bias\, factors that would facilitate such analyses in the future\, and ongoing work to extend the PPMM to novel areas.\n\nRebecca Andridge is an Associate Professor of Biostatistics at The Ohio State University College of Public Health. She conducts methodologic work in imputation methods for missing data\, primarily in large-scale probability samples\, and measures of selection bias for nonprobability samples. In particular\, she works on methods for imputing data when missingness is driven by the missing values themselves (missing not at random). She teaches introductory graduate and undergraduate biostatistics and won the College's Outstanding Teaching Award in 2011 and is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.

The four-point Coon amplitude was first discovered in 1969 by D.D. Coon and is a deformation of string theory’s famous Veneziano amplitude with a free deformation parameter q. At q = 1\, Coon amplitudes become tree-level open string amplitudes. Recently\, several groups have studied the low-energy expansion of Coon amplitudes\, the unitarity properties of Coon amplitudes\, various extensions and generalizations of Coon amplitudes\, and possible physical models realizing the Coon spectrum. In this seminar\, I will survey these recent developments along with some new results on N-point Coon amplitudes. By studying the N-point Coon amplitude\, we will discover a particular limit which reproduces the tree-level amplitudes of a particular field theory with an infinite set of non-derivative single-trace interaction terms. This correspondence is the first definitive realization of the Coon amplitude (in any limit) from a field theory described by an explicit Lagrangian.

First defined by Ji\, Liu and Song\, such states have found a wide variety of applications in areas such as quantum gravity and cryptography. A fundamental question is exactly how much entanglement is required to create such states. Haar-random states\, as well as t-designs for t ≥ 2\, exhibit near maximal entanglement. Here we provide the first construction of pseudorandom states with only polylogarithmic entanglement entropy across an equipartition of the qubits\, which is the minimum possible. Our construction can be based on any one-way function secure against quantum attack.\n\nMore fundamentally\, our work calls into question to what extent entanglement is a \"feelable\" (or efficiently observable) quantity of quantum systems. Inspired by recent work of Gheorghiu and Hoban\, we define a new notion which we call \"pseudoentanglement\"\, which are ensembles of efficiently constructible quantum states which hide their entanglement entropy. We show such states exist in the strongest form possible while simultaneously being pseudorandom states.\n\nThis talk is based on arXiv:2211.00747 and arXiv:2311.12017.

The closing keynote is *FREE* and open to the public.\n\nDisability\, and mental health as an aspect of disability\, are regularly neglected in conversations about diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, yet disability is the one demographic that we may all identify with one day. Therefore\, disability should serve as a means of demonstrating that we are all much more similar than we are different. As a disabled\, black\, Nigerian\, immigrant\, cis-gender heterosexual\, male\, physician\, athlete this presentation will talk about the intersectionality between all of those identities\, striving to demonstrate that disability is not inability\, and encouraging us to allow people to demonstrate what they can do\, rather than attempting to limit them based on what they can’t\; Okanlami will also focus on the mental health aspect of disability\, hopefully to engage you all in conversation about what each of us can do\, within our own spheres of influence to make sure we are not perpetuating ableism in our personal\, academic\, and professional lives.

In this talk\, we'll study Hom_R(F^e_*R\, R): the R-module of splittings of this map. When R is a regular ring\, or more generally a Gorenstein ring\, this R-module can be canonically identified with F^e_*R itself. When S = R/I is a quotient of a regular ring\, the splittings of F^e: R/I -> R/I can be understood in terms of the ideal I. Using this framework\, we demonstrate criteria for determining whether a ring is F-split or F-regular.

The \"stabilization\" of the trace formula is roughly speaking a procedure to make the trace formula more useful for applications and it is an extremely important tool in the Langlands program. I will attempt to motivate the role that endoscopy plays by gently walking through the stabilization of the elliptic regular part of the trace formula for SL(2). During our walkthrough\, we will see glimpses of the (elliptic) endoscopic groups\, transfer factors\, endoscopic transfer of functions\, cohomological invariants\, etc.—objects which all occur naturally in the theory of endoscopy.

The first part of this talk will be a gentle introduction to p-adic integration\, focusing on the case of quotient singularities where it is closely related to orbifold cohomology. In the second half we will compute p-adic integrals for singular moduli spaces of objects in certain abelian categories (e.g. representations of a symmetric quiver\, meromorphic Higgs bundles\, etc) and see that p-adic integration can be related to BPS cohomology arising in the theory of Donaldson-Thomas invariants.

To provide a breakthrough in the complexity of libraries that can be readily searched experimentally for synthetic biology and to allow systems to be directly engineered in the cell\, my laboratory is engineering S. cerevisiae so that both the mutagenesis and selection steps of directed evolution can be carried out entirely in vivo\, under conditions of sexual reproduction. We have built a modular chemical complementation assay\, which provides a selection for diverse chemistry beyond that natural to the cell using themes and variations on the yeast two-hybrid assay. In addition\, we devised a heritable recombination system\, for simultaneous mutagenesis and selection in vivo under conditions of sexual reproduction. Finally\, we have begun to utilize these mutagenesis and selection technologies to engineer yeast to carry out new functions themselves ranging from being a biosensor\, to a therapeutic\, to a self-organizing community.

The Shapley value formula and his four defining axioms form the foundation of the theory.\n\nWe interpret the Shapley value as an expectation of a certain stochastic path integral\, with each path representing a general coalition process. As a result\, the value allocation is naturally extended to all partial coalition states. Furthermore\, the new allocation scheme can be readily generalized by path-integrating various edge flows\, which we refer to as the f-Shapley value. Finally\, by employing Hodge theory on graphs\, we show how to compute the stochastic path integral via the graph Poisson equation.

Zoom registration at http://myumi.ch/rr36r\n\nEmerging technologies are evolving at an astonishing pace. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the field of neurotechnology\, which refers to devices capable of recording\, interpreting\, or altering brain activity. Neurotechnology has long been used in scientific settings\, pioneering both brain research and medical breakthroughs\; in recent years\, neurotechnology has allowed patients with paralysis to regain the ability to communicate\, and helped blind people reclaim partial vision. Recently\, neurotechnology has expanded beyond medical settings into the consumer world\, with a host of products entering the market that allow consumers and companies to access intimate brain data. Among others\, these products include brain training kits\, sleep aids\, devices that track levels of focus\, and toy helicopters that consumers fly using concentration. This brings great promise of innovation and development\, but also pressing concerns\, particularly given privacy risks\, rapid advances in the capacity to decode brain scans using generative AI\, and the possibility of mental interference.\n \n In this lecture\, international human rights lawyer Jared Genser will discuss the unique human rights challenges posed by neurotechnologies. Speaking as co-founder and General Counsel of the Neurorights Foundation\, Genser will examine the ways in which neurotechnology has the potential to change what it means to be human. In particular\, he will discuss how the loss of mental privacy and the risk of mental manipulation present challenges that were previously unimagined and which demand immediate action. He will explore the implications of neurotechnology on existing legal\, ethical\, and regulatory regimes\, pulling directly from his experience advising the United Nations\, industry partners\, and governments around the world. As a way forward\, Genser will introduce the notion of “neurorights”\, which involves further interpreting existing human rights law to safeguard the right to mental integrity\, the right to mental agency\, the right to mental privacy\, the right to fair access to mental augmentation\, and the right to protection from algorithmic bias. The neurorights movement\, he will argue\, is necessary to prevent against the misuse and abuse of neurotechnology before it’s too late.\n \n ---\n \n Jared Genser has been an international human rights lawyer for more than two decades. He is Managing Director of Perseus Strategies\, a public interest law firm\, Special Advisor on the Responsibility to Protect to the Organization of American States\, and outside General Counsel to the Neurorights Foundation. Referred to by the New York Times as “The Extractor” for his work freeing political prisoners worldwide\, he has served as pro bono counsel to five Nobel Peace Prize Laureates\, including three Laureates who won their Prize while imprisoned — Aung San Suu Kyi (Burma\, 2006-2010)\, Liu Xiaobo (China\, 2010-2017)\, and Ales Bialiatski (Belarus\, 2023-Present) — as well as Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Elie Wiesel.\n \n Genser was previously a partner in the government affairs practice of DLA Piper LLP and a management consultant with McKinsey &\; Company. He has also been an Adjunct Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center\, the University of Pennsylvania Law School\, and the University of Michigan Law School\, across which he taught semester-long seminars about the UN Security Council seven times.\n \n In addition\, he was an Associate of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University from 2014-2016\, a Visiting Fellow with the National Endowment for Democracy from 2006-2007\, and earlier in his career was named by the National Law Journal as one of “40 Under 40: Washington’s Rising Stars.” Genser’s other past clients have included former Czech Republic President Václav Havel\, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim\, and former Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed. Over his career\, he has also advised multilateral institutions\, governments\, companies\, foundations\, and civil society organizations on ensuring their work was consistent with international human rights\, labor rights\, and environmental rights standards. Coming from his experience freeing his first client as a law student\, in 2001 he founded Freedom Now\, a non-governmental organization that works to free prisoners of conscience worldwide. Genser holds a B.S. from Cornell University\, an M.P.P. from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government\, where he was an Alumni Public Service Fellow\, and a J.D. cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School.\n \n He is author of *The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention: Commentary and Guide to Practice* (Cambridge University Press\, 2019). In addition\, he is co-editor of *The UN Security Council in the Age of Human Rights* (Cambridge University Press\, 2016) and *The Responsibility to Protect: The Promise of Stopping Mass Atrocities in Our Times* (Oxford University Press\, 2011). His forthcoming book is a co-edited volume with former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein entitled *The Oxford Handbook on the UN Human Rights System* (Oxford University Press\, 2024). \n \n Genser was previously selected as one of three winners of the Tällberg Eliasson Global Leadership Prize from among 2\,165 nominees from 135 countries. He has received the American Bar Association’s International Human Rights Award\, Liberty in North Korea’s Freedom Fighter Award\, and the Charles Bronfman Prize. Genser is a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations\, Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts\, and was selected as a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum (2008). He is a member of the D.C. Bar\, Maryland Bar\, and is a solicitor of England and Wales.

Her process-based work considers the dynamic qualities of the built environment to include periods of growth\, decline\, and dormancy. Central to Campbell’s practice are questions surrounding the integration and erasure of human agency over broader global systems. She often works with ephemeral materials intended to erode and change over time. Her work is realized in formats that include prints\, drawings\, artist books/objects\, photographs\, videos\, and installations.\n\nIn tandem with Campbell’s visit to the series\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities has commissioned and will exhibit her new work\, Garden Repairs\, drawing from the life cycle of plants as a model for repairing landscapes ravaged by war and extreme weather events. Her regenerative brick book is filled with seeds\, soil\, and water\, a hopeful gesture toward new life when it is broken apart. The exhibit will open following the talk and be on view through May 2\, 2024.\n\nCampbell’s work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium\, Germany\, the United Kingdom\, Switzerland\, Slovenia\, and throughout the United States. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, New York Public Library\, Yale University Art Gallery\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Minneapolis Institute of Arts\, Cranbrook Art Museum\, Grand Rapids Art Museum\, University of Colorado Art Museum\, The Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation\, Toledo Museum of Art\, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library. Campbell has been awarded residencies at MacDowell\, Banff Centre for the Arts\, Frans Masereel Centrum\, Jentel Foundation\, P.R.I.N.T Research Center of North Texas\, Skopelos Foundation and Beisinghoff Print Residency. Campbell is the recipient of a Kresge Artist Fellowship\, Creative Artist Grant\, Arts Foundation of Michigan\, and a grant from the Three Rivers Arts Festival in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.\n\nCampbell has taught studio art at both the graduate and undergraduate levels\, including on the faculty of both the Cranbrook Academy of Art and the College for Creative Studies. She has been a visiting artist in numerous institutions of higher education throughout the country. Campbell is represented by David Klein Gallery (Detroit\, MI)\, Aspinwall Editions (Hudson\, New York)\, and Galerie Tom Blaess (Bern\, Switzerland).
