Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.\n\n[The Hatcher Library will be closed December 21 to January 1.] UID:121281-21846186@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121281 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library (2nd floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240522T120437 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240613T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240613T143000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Midwest Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics Conference DESCRIPTION:MTSM is an annual regional meeting for interdisciplinary researchers in all aspects of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics\, with a special focus on those in the early stages of their academic careers. It brings together faculty and students from diverse fields to exchange new ideas and research results. Though originally developed to encourage scientific discourse surrounding thermodynamics and statistical mechanics\, the conference has evolved to include timely topics in those fields\, including simulation and data-intensive research in chemical engineering\, materials science\, physics\, and chemistry. The conference provides an ideal forum for researchers to present their work and engage in intense discussions about topics of similar interest\, enabling camaraderie between groups and fostering sustainable research programs. Each session features an invited speaker and presentations representing a diverse range of research topics and speaker identities.

However\, his untimely passing in 2018 prevented the exhibition. In honor of the artist\, his wife Meighen Jackson has assembled this body of work for this exhibition.\n\nA 1960’s graduate of Monteith College at Wayne State\, Bill saw himself not as a storyteller nor a documentarian\, but as a photographer seeking images with the power and creativity of late 20th century painting and music making.\n\nBill Jackson’s work is represented nationally by Walter Wickiser Gallery in Manhattan and regionally by M Contemporary in Ferndale\, MI. It is included in many permanent collections including Wayne State University in Detroit.

She is a multimedia artist with a newfound attachment to printmaking. A recent Wayne State Fine Arts graduate\, with a major in Drawing\, Diddio’s work is versatile and inquisitive. She is a strong proponent of City of Detroit\, with a strong sense of community\, craftsmanship\, and creativity. They have created as space between traditionally taught skills and the contemporary methods to apply them and I desire to function within that space.\n\nThe works in the exhibition “War Relics” speak directly to the printmaking qualities and imagery of Western war iconography and memorabilia. In recent years the artist has gravitated towards signage\, print\, poster\, stamp\, reproduction and automation and highlighting the roll advertisement and design play in war. Some pieces include pin up nose bird art\, signage\, ration packaging and wartime tattoo flash.

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.

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.

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:114750-21833528@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.

Who’s to say? The animals of these fields and woods\, streams and ponds surely know. They take time each day to adventure and roam\, scamper and scout. The plants and trees excitedly join in. Some bend and sway and some glisten in rain. Perhaps each invites their friends from away to come and show them new ways of play. Let’s have a look and spend the day imagining what happens when we look away. An exploration of encounters real and imagined by local artist\, Nicole Ray. \n\nBio\n\nNicole Ray is an artist and illustrator living in Brighton\, Michigan. She grew up in a small beach town in New York with her toes deep in the sand and her head buried in books. Nicole creates a whimsical line of art prints and paper goods under the name Sloe Gin Fizz.\n\nFrom quirky animal and vegetable characters to nostalgia-filled interiors and calming views of nature\, Nicole’s hand-drawn scenes are highly accessible\, infused with a playful sense of humor and a strong narrative quality. \n\nNicole holds a BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts\, as well as a BA in History from Trinity College in Hartford\, CT. Nicole and her mister live in a log house on a lake just north of Ann Arbor with a spoiled border collie named Stella and an ever-expanding network of critter friends.

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:84303-21621311@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:20240613T112018 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240613T114500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240613T144500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Online Arabic Placement test_June 13\, 2024 (11:45am-2:45pm EST) DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test is approximately two hours and a half in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed via Zoom and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed online through 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: 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.How is the result calculated?Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the LSA language requirement.Where can I view my results? Placement results are posted within 7 business days after taking 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* Please note that only students who are participating in the orientations are eligible to take the online placement test. If you are an existing UM student\, please sign up to take the in-person placement test that is taking place in August.* 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\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer term.About the UM Arabic programUM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand either the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to learning to read and write and understand formal Arabic (fuSHa). If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu UID:122446-21849212@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122446 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Zoom/Canvas CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240614T180012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240613T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240613T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Testing DESCRIPTION:Location\, time\, name of the tournament UID:122795-21849649@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122795 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Easting Lansing CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240628T123117 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240613T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240613T134500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Bring Your Whole Self to Work at National Grid DESCRIPTION:Come hear from our Global Chief Diversity Officer at National Grid\, Natalie Edwards\, as she shares more about how National Grid fosters an environment that allows you to Bring Your Whole Self to Work!

Central to this work is addressing three pivotal challenges: creating a tuning-free\, biomimetic control system that accommodates multiple activities\, adapting to environmental constraints\, and developing a self-contained\, accurate\, and intuitive intent recognition algorithm.\n\nThe thesis starts with modeling the able-bodied steady-state kinematics in walking and stair climbing as a continuous function of gait phase\, forward speed\, and incline. This modeling framework is further refined to incorporate transitions between steady-state activities when led by either the intact or prosthetic leg (i.e.\, inter-leg transitions) by interpolating between those steady-state kinematics. This approach introduces an innovative method for capturing biomechanical relationships between transitions and the corresponding steady states\, which are typically overlooked in prosthetic control. These models have been implemented in a powered knee-ankle prosthesis as reference trajectories to facilitate tuning-free\, biomimetic\, kinematic control throughout daily locomotion and ensure seamless transitions between them with multiple transfemoral amputee participants.\n\nTo improve the adaptability of the powered prosthesis to environmental constraints\, the thesis explores the implementation of an advanced stub avoidance controller. This controller utilizes a small\, low-cost ultrasonic sensor mounted above the prosthetic ankle to adjust the reference joint kinematics from the aforementioned models in real-time. This method was experimentally validated with amputee participants walking on the powered prosthetic leg\, significantly reducing the stub rates when ascending stairs and walking over obstacles of different heights.\n\nFurthermore\, the thesis presents an intuitive activity classification system that can automatically switch between the controllers for different activities based on the user’s transition intent using straightforward heuristic rules. This system leverages kinematic features from the thigh and shank angles\, along with ground reaction forces and the distance measured by the same ultrasonic sensor\, to achieve timely and self-correctable activity recognition. The incorporation of an incline estimation feature further allows the prosthesis to adjust seamlessly between different ground inclines without explicit classifications. This method was experimentally evaluated with amputee participants traversing circuits incorporating daily activities and inter-leg transitions\, achieving around 99% accuracy under both self-paced and fast-paced conditions.\n\nThe collective findings from this research not only advance the biomechanical functionality of powered prosthetic legs but also facilitate their translation from laboratory settings to practical everyday use. The methodologies and results have been rigorously tested through offline simulations and online experiments involving amputee participants\, leading to several publications in top-tier engineering journals and contributions to the field of medical robotics and bionics.\n\nPasscode: 512666 UID:122497-21849267@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122497 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Ford Robotics Building - 2300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240607T122634 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240613T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240613T150000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Lab Swap Shop DESCRIPTION:The Lab Swap Shop offers researchers a convenient opportunity to browse free\, pre-owned laboratory essentials and support the university's waste reduction goals.

The DISCO Summit will include nine panel conversations about the past\, present\, and future of the intersection between digital technology\, culture\, race\, disability\, gender\, sexuality\, and liberation.\n\nThe DISCO Network is a collaborative\, intergenerational group of scholars dedicated to envisioning a new anti-racist and anti-ableist digital future. The DISCO Network comprises six labs across five universities: the Michigan Hub at the University of Michigan Digital Studies Institute (PI: Lisa Nakamura\, University of Michigan)\, HAT Lab (PI: Rayvon Fouché\; Northwestern University)\, DAF Lab (PI: M. Remi Yergeau\, University of Michigan)\, Future Histories Studio (PI: Stephanie Dinkins\, Stony Brook University)\, PREACH Lab (André Brock\, Georgia Institute of Technology)\, and BCaT Lab (Catherine Knight Steele\, University of Maryland-College Park). The DISCO Network is supported by the Mellon Foundation. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public. The DISCO Summit provides a platform for scholars\, students\, artists\, practitioners\, activists\, and community members to convene and engage in dialogue about racial inequality\, histories of exclusion\, disability justice\, techno-ableism\, and digital racial politics within the academy\, the technology industry\, and beyond. We especially welcome individuals whose interests lie in the intersection of the digital and identity and have found difficulties pursuing their endeavors at their home institutions. \n\nView additional information about the event: https://www.disconetwork.org/summit-2024\n\nEvent Schedule: \n\nDay 1: Friday\, June 14\, 2024 \n\n9:00 am - 10:15 am\nDigital Optimism with Lisa Nakamura\, Rayvon Fouché\, Stephanie Dinkins\, André Brock\, Remi Yergeau\, and Catherine Knight Steele\nOptimism is the belief that the interval between the now and liberation is where we can act. Digital optimism is the recognition that there are elements of life that vivify and energize in the here and the now\, despite and amidst the digital purgatories that we endure. Sometimes that energy is found in stillness\; sometimes in refusal\; and sometimes in moments of catharsis or joy. This panel will explore the concept of digital optimism as it appears in DISCO’s collaborative writing and work together.\n\n10:30 am - 11:45 am\nDigital Frictions with Remi Yergeau\, David Adelman\, Jeff Nagy\, Aimi Hamraie\, Jaipreet Virdi\, and Mara Mills\nIn their manifesto on crip technoscience\, Kelly Fritsch and Aimi Hamraie (2019) impress upon us that access production is a “frictional process\,” one that requires “acknowledging that science and technology can be used to both produce and dismantle injustice.” This roundtable explores the frictional intimacies\, practices\, and material conditions of what it means to do the digital. In particular\, panelists will consider myriad ways in which accessibility holds the potential to burn\, grate\, spark\, and tug at new imaginings of crip futures.\n\n1:00 pm - 2:15 pm\nDigital Black Feminist Pleasure and Pain Online with Catherine Knight Steele\, Rianna Walcott\, Brandi Pettijohn\, Francesca Sobande\, Kishonna Gray\, and Apryl Williams\nThe experiences of Black women online serve as a harbinger of what digital culture affords and what is to come. This panel thinks through the relationship between pleasure and pain in the online lives of Black women and how Black feminist methods\, epistemologies\, and strategies may point us toward a better digital future for us all. \n\n2:30 pm - 3:45 pm\nLittle Memes: Storying Race\, Gender\, and Disability in the Digital Studies Classroom with Remi Yergeau\, Toni Bushner\, Huan He\, and Lida Zeitlin-Wu\nHow do students’ stories about themselves or others—their anecdotal relations—inform their burgeoning understandings of digital inequality and related concepts? In this session\, we reflect on student interviews and instructor experiences drawn from a study of five U-M Digital Studies classes focused on race and disability.\n\n4:00 pm - 5:15 pm \nDigital Interventions: Recalibrating Optimism - A Workshop Facilitated by Catherine Knight Steele\, Rayvon Fouché\, Stephanie Dinkins\, and Kevin Winstead [IN-PERSON ONLY] \nIs optimism an antidote or salve for turmoil? Please join us in a collaborative discussion charting pathways for digital scholarship to build optimistic societal interventions that traverse the potentialities of joy\, sadness\, refusal\, skepticism\, and trust.\n\nDay 2: Saturday\, June 15\, 2024 \n\n9:00 am - 10:15 am\nBlack Innovation with Rayvon Fouché\, Aaron Dial\, Ron Eglash\, Michael Bennett\, Aria Halliday\, Tonia Sutherland\, and Ngozi Harrison\nBlack folks have a tradition of being innovative in ways not understood and expected by traditional markets\, dominant cultural formations\, or information platforms. As the world is enamored\, fascinated\, enraptured\, troubled\, or simply confused by the potentiality of generative AI\, is there a place and a role for Blackness to participate\, contribute\, or intervene in this next technoscientific atmospheric river? What will Black innovation and creativity look like in a world propelled by a network of AI trained on past utterances that did not see Blackness as meaningful? How can Blackness and Black innovation and creativity disrupt expected technoscientific futures? \n\n10:30 am - 11:45 am\nDigital Possibilities with Stephanie Dinkins\, Hagar Masoud\, Ria Rajan\, Cezanne Charles\, and Audrey Bennet\n\"Digital Possibilities\" presents an intergenerational panel of arts practitioners who explore the critical role deliberate exploration and practical research play in understanding and shaping digital technologies and culture. The panel showcases the transformative power deeply engaging digital technologies can have on molding practical\, aspirational\, and equitable understandings of self and society. Panelists discuss how practice can leverage discovery\, curiosity\, out-of-the-box thinking\, and leadership to mine and challenge opportunities\, or the lack thereof\, for beauty\, potentiality\, subjugation\, and liberation that digital technologies often carry. The panel also engages thought about how future\, present\, and past technologies combined with narratives centering on underutilized\, underrecognized communities can be coaxed or developed to produce technological ecosystems that produce nuanced\, open\, and equitably informed digital tools\, platforms\, and collaborators.\n\n1:00 pm - 2:15 pm\nMajority World Digital Infrastructures with Lisa Nakamura\, Huan He\, Jasmine Banks\, Marisa Duarte\, Ivan Chaar Lopez\, and Meryem Kamil\nDigital infrastructure shapes access\, representation\, and cultural politics. Indigenous\, Asian and Southeast Asian\, Palestinian\, U.S. Mexico border\, and women of color uses of digital networks are often represented as niche or marginal\, sequestered in area studies\, ethnic studies\, and women studies\, yet the U.S. and Western Europe are the numerical minority.\n\n2:30 pm - 3:45 pm\nLegibility and Community in Digital Studies with Huan He\, Kevin Winstead\, David Adelman\, Aaron Dial\, Jeff Nagy\, Rianna Walcott\, Brandy Pettijohn\, and Lida Zeitlin-Wu\nAs junior scholars\, the Digital Inquiry Speculation Collaboration Optimism (DISCO) Network postdoctoral fellows faced unique challenges negotiating the tensions of being legible for academic employment and serving digital studies projects that foster collaboration and community. This panel discusses best practices for being young career scholars in critical identity and digital studies. \n\nWe would like to thank the following co-sponsors:\n- Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\n- Department of American Culture\n- Department of Communication and Media\n- Department of English Literature and Language\n- Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\n- Department of History\n- Department of History of Art\n- Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies \n- Science\, Technology\, and Society Program \n- University of Michigan Initiative on Disability Studies\n- Center for Racial Justice\n- Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy\n- Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs\n- Spectrum Center\n- Marsal Family School of Education Office of Diversity\, Inclusion\, Justice\, and Equity \n- Computer Science and Engineering\n- School of Information Center for Ethics\, Society\, and Computing\n- Institute for Research on Women & Gender\n\nAccessibility statement: We strive to make our events accessible to all participants.\n- Communication Access Real-time Translation (CART) services will be provided. \n- All attendees are requested to wear well-fitting masks.

She is a multimedia artist with a newfound attachment to printmaking. A recent Wayne State Fine Arts graduate\, with a major in Drawing\, Diddio’s work is versatile and inquisitive. She is a strong proponent of City of Detroit\, with a strong sense of community\, craftsmanship\, and creativity. They have created as space between traditionally taught skills and the contemporary methods to apply them and I desire to function within that space.\n\nThe works in the exhibition “War Relics” speak directly to the printmaking qualities and imagery of Western war iconography and memorabilia. In recent years the artist has gravitated towards signage\, print\, poster\, stamp\, reproduction and automation and highlighting the roll advertisement and design play in war. Some pieces include pin up nose bird art\, signage\, ration packaging and wartime tattoo flash.

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.

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.

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:114750-21833529@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.

Who’s to say? The animals of these fields and woods\, streams and ponds surely know. They take time each day to adventure and roam\, scamper and scout. The plants and trees excitedly join in. Some bend and sway and some glisten in rain. Perhaps each invites their friends from away to come and show them new ways of play. Let’s have a look and spend the day imagining what happens when we look away. An exploration of encounters real and imagined by local artist\, Nicole Ray. \n\nBio\n\nNicole Ray is an artist and illustrator living in Brighton\, Michigan. She grew up in a small beach town in New York with her toes deep in the sand and her head buried in books. Nicole creates a whimsical line of art prints and paper goods under the name Sloe Gin Fizz.\n\nFrom quirky animal and vegetable characters to nostalgia-filled interiors and calming views of nature\, Nicole’s hand-drawn scenes are highly accessible\, infused with a playful sense of humor and a strong narrative quality. \n\nNicole holds a BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts\, as well as a BA in History from Trinity College in Hartford\, CT. Nicole and her mister live in a log house on a lake just north of Ann Arbor with a spoiled border collie named Stella and an ever-expanding network of critter friends.

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:84303-21621312@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:20240629T063059 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240614T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240614T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:*RSVP required to attend.

They will explore the multifaceted world of comics and graphic novels\, particularly those crafted for young audiences. This conversation aims to uncover the diverse array of influences that inspire our panelists' artistic visions\, extending beyond the boundaries of the comic book industry.\n\nOur panel will share personal insights about how various art forms\, cultures\, and storytelling traditions have left an indelible mark on their work\, thus enriching the visual and narrative depth of their comics. The discussion promises to tackle how each creator’s body of work challenges and redefines the existing assumptions about stories for children and young readers within the comics genre. How do they push the envelope in terms of themes\, characters\, and representation? How do they craft stories that resonate with young minds while offering complexity and sophistication?\n\nModerated by Michigan State University professor and comics creator Ryan Claytor\, this discussion is an opportunity to gain an understanding of the thoughtful considerations these creators make in producing engaging\, innovative\, and culturally relevant content for the next generation of readers. Whether you're a comics enthusiast\, an aspiring artist\, or an educator\, \"Influences & Outfluences\" will inspire\, inform\, and broaden your perception of what comics for young people can achieve.

His stories are not new\, but you have never heard them told this way before.” –Grand Ole Opry member\, Jeannie Seely.\n\nDetroit-turned Nashvillian Zachariah Malachi has been known to be a shape-shifter of originality to the genre of honky tonk music. He can glide through the minor chords of Eastern European jazz and morph it into the depths of the barroom basement regret dealing with topics of cheating\, drinking\, fighting\, and the morning after.\n\nHis backing band\, The Nashville Counts is the collected talents of fiddler and harmony singer Jack Bird\, guitarist and banjo player Anthony Castagna\, steel guitar and trumpet player Eddie Slide\, and bass extraordinaire Luca Chiappara. The band name alone gives a hint to a sinister presence that awaits any stage that they are about to take. Together\, this group of juke-joint vampires will take you on a ride through country music madness that you will feel compelled to tell your friends about what you just experienced.\n\nhttps://www.zachariahmalachi.com/ UID:119816-21843618@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/119816 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240619T060010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240615T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240615T235959 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:SC2 Coffee Hour DESCRIPTION:Stop By for a Free Coffee.

The DISCO Summit will include nine panel conversations about the past\, present\, and future of the intersection between digital technology\, culture\, race\, disability\, gender\, sexuality\, and liberation.\n\nThe DISCO Network is a collaborative\, intergenerational group of scholars dedicated to envisioning a new anti-racist and anti-ableist digital future. The DISCO Network comprises six labs across five universities: the Michigan Hub at the University of Michigan Digital Studies Institute (PI: Lisa Nakamura\, University of Michigan)\, HAT Lab (PI: Rayvon Fouché\; Northwestern University)\, DAF Lab (PI: M. Remi Yergeau\, University of Michigan)\, Future Histories Studio (PI: Stephanie Dinkins\, Stony Brook University)\, PREACH Lab (André Brock\, Georgia Institute of Technology)\, and BCaT Lab (Catherine Knight Steele\, University of Maryland-College Park). The DISCO Network is supported by the Mellon Foundation. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public. The DISCO Summit provides a platform for scholars\, students\, artists\, practitioners\, activists\, and community members to convene and engage in dialogue about racial inequality\, histories of exclusion\, disability justice\, techno-ableism\, and digital racial politics within the academy\, the technology industry\, and beyond. We especially welcome individuals whose interests lie in the intersection of the digital and identity and have found difficulties pursuing their endeavors at their home institutions. \n\nView additional information about the event: https://www.disconetwork.org/summit-2024\n\nEvent Schedule: \n\nDay 1: Friday\, June 14\, 2024 \n\n9:00 am - 10:15 am\nDigital Optimism with Lisa Nakamura\, Rayvon Fouché\, Stephanie Dinkins\, André Brock\, Remi Yergeau\, and Catherine Knight Steele\nOptimism is the belief that the interval between the now and liberation is where we can act. Digital optimism is the recognition that there are elements of life that vivify and energize in the here and the now\, despite and amidst the digital purgatories that we endure. Sometimes that energy is found in stillness\; sometimes in refusal\; and sometimes in moments of catharsis or joy. This panel will explore the concept of digital optimism as it appears in DISCO’s collaborative writing and work together.\n\n10:30 am - 11:45 am\nDigital Frictions with Remi Yergeau\, David Adelman\, Jeff Nagy\, Aimi Hamraie\, Jaipreet Virdi\, and Mara Mills\nIn their manifesto on crip technoscience\, Kelly Fritsch and Aimi Hamraie (2019) impress upon us that access production is a “frictional process\,” one that requires “acknowledging that science and technology can be used to both produce and dismantle injustice.” This roundtable explores the frictional intimacies\, practices\, and material conditions of what it means to do the digital. In particular\, panelists will consider myriad ways in which accessibility holds the potential to burn\, grate\, spark\, and tug at new imaginings of crip futures.\n\n1:00 pm - 2:15 pm\nDigital Black Feminist Pleasure and Pain Online with Catherine Knight Steele\, Rianna Walcott\, Brandi Pettijohn\, Francesca Sobande\, Kishonna Gray\, and Apryl Williams\nThe experiences of Black women online serve as a harbinger of what digital culture affords and what is to come. This panel thinks through the relationship between pleasure and pain in the online lives of Black women and how Black feminist methods\, epistemologies\, and strategies may point us toward a better digital future for us all. \n\n2:30 pm - 3:45 pm\nLittle Memes: Storying Race\, Gender\, and Disability in the Digital Studies Classroom with Remi Yergeau\, Toni Bushner\, Huan He\, and Lida Zeitlin-Wu\nHow do students’ stories about themselves or others—their anecdotal relations—inform their burgeoning understandings of digital inequality and related concepts? In this session\, we reflect on student interviews and instructor experiences drawn from a study of five U-M Digital Studies classes focused on race and disability.\n\n4:00 pm - 5:15 pm \nDigital Interventions: Recalibrating Optimism - A Workshop Facilitated by Catherine Knight Steele\, Rayvon Fouché\, Stephanie Dinkins\, and Kevin Winstead [IN-PERSON ONLY] \nIs optimism an antidote or salve for turmoil? Please join us in a collaborative discussion charting pathways for digital scholarship to build optimistic societal interventions that traverse the potentialities of joy\, sadness\, refusal\, skepticism\, and trust.\n\nDay 2: Saturday\, June 15\, 2024 \n\n9:00 am - 10:15 am\nBlack Innovation with Rayvon Fouché\, Aaron Dial\, Ron Eglash\, Michael Bennett\, Aria Halliday\, Tonia Sutherland\, and Ngozi Harrison\nBlack folks have a tradition of being innovative in ways not understood and expected by traditional markets\, dominant cultural formations\, or information platforms. As the world is enamored\, fascinated\, enraptured\, troubled\, or simply confused by the potentiality of generative AI\, is there a place and a role for Blackness to participate\, contribute\, or intervene in this next technoscientific atmospheric river? What will Black innovation and creativity look like in a world propelled by a network of AI trained on past utterances that did not see Blackness as meaningful? How can Blackness and Black innovation and creativity disrupt expected technoscientific futures? \n\n10:30 am - 11:45 am\nDigital Possibilities with Stephanie Dinkins\, Hagar Masoud\, Ria Rajan\, Cezanne Charles\, and Audrey Bennet\n\"Digital Possibilities\" presents an intergenerational panel of arts practitioners who explore the critical role deliberate exploration and practical research play in understanding and shaping digital technologies and culture. The panel showcases the transformative power deeply engaging digital technologies can have on molding practical\, aspirational\, and equitable understandings of self and society. Panelists discuss how practice can leverage discovery\, curiosity\, out-of-the-box thinking\, and leadership to mine and challenge opportunities\, or the lack thereof\, for beauty\, potentiality\, subjugation\, and liberation that digital technologies often carry. The panel also engages thought about how future\, present\, and past technologies combined with narratives centering on underutilized\, underrecognized communities can be coaxed or developed to produce technological ecosystems that produce nuanced\, open\, and equitably informed digital tools\, platforms\, and collaborators.\n\n1:00 pm - 2:15 pm\nMajority World Digital Infrastructures with Lisa Nakamura\, Huan He\, Jasmine Banks\, Marisa Duarte\, Ivan Chaar Lopez\, and Meryem Kamil\nDigital infrastructure shapes access\, representation\, and cultural politics. Indigenous\, Asian and Southeast Asian\, Palestinian\, U.S. Mexico border\, and women of color uses of digital networks are often represented as niche or marginal\, sequestered in area studies\, ethnic studies\, and women studies\, yet the U.S. and Western Europe are the numerical minority.\n\n2:30 pm - 3:45 pm\nLegibility and Community in Digital Studies with Huan He\, Kevin Winstead\, David Adelman\, Aaron Dial\, Jeff Nagy\, Rianna Walcott\, Brandy Pettijohn\, and Lida Zeitlin-Wu\nAs junior scholars\, the Digital Inquiry Speculation Collaboration Optimism (DISCO) Network postdoctoral fellows faced unique challenges negotiating the tensions of being legible for academic employment and serving digital studies projects that foster collaboration and community. This panel discusses best practices for being young career scholars in critical identity and digital studies. \n\nWe would like to thank the following co-sponsors:\n- Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\n- Department of American Culture\n- Department of Communication and Media\n- Department of English Literature and Language\n- Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\n- Department of History\n- Department of History of Art\n- Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies \n- Science\, Technology\, and Society Program \n- University of Michigan Initiative on Disability Studies\n- Center for Racial Justice\n- Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy\n- Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs\n- Spectrum Center\n- Marsal Family School of Education Office of Diversity\, Inclusion\, Justice\, and Equity \n- Computer Science and Engineering\n- School of Information Center for Ethics\, Society\, and Computing\n- Institute for Research on Women & Gender\n\nAccessibility statement: We strive to make our events accessible to all participants.\n- Communication Access Real-time Translation (CART) services will be provided. \n- All attendees are requested to wear well-fitting masks.

Who’s to say? The animals of these fields and woods\, streams and ponds surely know. They take time each day to adventure and roam\, scamper and scout. The plants and trees excitedly join in. Some bend and sway and some glisten in rain. Perhaps each invites their friends from away to come and show them new ways of play. Let’s have a look and spend the day imagining what happens when we look away. An exploration of encounters real and imagined by local artist\, Nicole Ray. \n\nBio\n\nNicole Ray is an artist and illustrator living in Brighton\, Michigan. She grew up in a small beach town in New York with her toes deep in the sand and her head buried in books. Nicole creates a whimsical line of art prints and paper goods under the name Sloe Gin Fizz.\n\nFrom quirky animal and vegetable characters to nostalgia-filled interiors and calming views of nature\, Nicole’s hand-drawn scenes are highly accessible\, infused with a playful sense of humor and a strong narrative quality. \n\nNicole holds a BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts\, as well as a BA in History from Trinity College in Hartford\, CT. Nicole and her mister live in a log house on a lake just north of Ann Arbor with a spoiled border collie named Stella and an ever-expanding network of critter friends.

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:107870-21817834@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:20240130T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240615T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240615T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Angkor Complex: ​Cultural Heritage and Post-Genocide Memory in Cambodia. 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:114750-21833530@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.

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:84303-21621313@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:20240628T211201 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240615T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240615T123000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:We Are Stars DESCRIPTION:What are we made of?

They take the singer-songwriter tradition to a new level by crafting original songs which are emotive\, meticulously arranged\, and inspired by a world of idiosyncratic influences that never let a dull or predictable moment creep in.\n\nBuffalo Rose's lineup of Lucy Clabby (vocals)\, Margot Jezerc (vocals)\, Bryce Rabideau (mandolin)\, Malcolm Inglis (dobro)\, Jason Rafalak (upright bass)\, and Shane McLaughlin (guitar\, vocals) pushes itself and each other far beyond their perceived limits and blends their diverse and atypical approach to songwriting with the desire to see how unique a song can get and still feel like home. They use powerful vocal harmonies\, strong playing\, and an original vision to operate at every possible emotional level and put on dynamic live shows that are unforgettable experiences. They go from up and moving to sad and sweet and back again\, bringing the entire audience along. \n\nRather than play the folk music of the past\, the band gleefully combines genres and ideas together to move acoustic music forward to a new\, contemporary place without ever losing sight of its roots. Fans of Lake Street Dive\, Nickel Creek\, and Punch Brothers will find much to like in this crew. Anyone seeking compelling new acoustic music needs to join Buffalo Rose in the future right now.

Who’s to say? The animals of these fields and woods\, streams and ponds surely know. They take time each day to adventure and roam\, scamper and scout. The plants and trees excitedly join in. Some bend and sway and some glisten in rain. Perhaps each invites their friends from away to come and show them new ways of play. Let’s have a look and spend the day imagining what happens when we look away. An exploration of encounters real and imagined by local artist\, Nicole Ray. \n\nBio\n\nNicole Ray is an artist and illustrator living in Brighton\, Michigan. She grew up in a small beach town in New York with her toes deep in the sand and her head buried in books. Nicole creates a whimsical line of art prints and paper goods under the name Sloe Gin Fizz.\n\nFrom quirky animal and vegetable characters to nostalgia-filled interiors and calming views of nature\, Nicole’s hand-drawn scenes are highly accessible\, infused with a playful sense of humor and a strong narrative quality. \n\nNicole holds a BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts\, as well as a BA in History from Trinity College in Hartford\, CT. Nicole and her mister live in a log house on a lake just north of Ann Arbor with a spoiled border collie named Stella and an ever-expanding network of critter friends.

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:107870-21817835@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:20240130T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240616T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240616T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Angkor Complex: ​Cultural Heritage and Post-Genocide Memory in Cambodia. 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:114750-21833531@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.

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:84303-21621314@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:20240628T211201 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240616T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240616T123000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:We Are Stars DESCRIPTION:What are we made of?

Now she travels around Michigan singing songs about not knowing the answers. She weaves her humor and playfulness into the depth of the human existence\, and it is a regular occurrence for audience members to laugh and cry simultaneously. Hershock is a multi award-winning Michigan based songwriter\, classically trained pianist\, and young mother of three incredible children. She majored in sacred music with an emphasis on the pipe organ: and though you won’t currently find her behind an organ at a church\, you may find little pieces of that influence sprinkled throughout her original folk music.\n\nAnnie Bacon is a writer and songwriter living in Ann Arbor\, Michigan (via Maine and San Francisco). With her OSHEN she merges a literary writing style and folk-rock Americana sound to create rich and emotionally complex music. After surviving a global pandemic while grieving multiple deaths\, Bacon emerges in 2024 with a host of creative works revolving around grief\, including the album release for this show: Storm.\n\nStorm - her 4th full length record - was recorded to analogue tape in Nashville over four days at Daylight Studio with friend and studio owner Paul Defiglia (Avett Brothers\, Langhorn Slim\, Erin Rae) who also co-produced the album with Bacon. The songs cover a range of losses from the keening depths of death's grip\, to the ragged edges of love lost. \n\nhttps://www.anniebacon.me/\n\nhttps://www.sammiehershock.com/ UID:120186-21844199@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/120186 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240619T060010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240617T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240617T235959 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:SC2 Coffee Hour DESCRIPTION:Stop By for a Free Coffee.

The course focuses on the integration of survey methods with multiple alternative methods to achieve a single data collection approach using the strengths of some methods to compensate for weaknesses in other methods. The methods examined include unstructured or in-depth interviews\, semi-structured interviews\, focus groups\, survey interviews\, observation\, geographic information systems\, archival research\, social media analysis and hybrid methods. Emphasis will be placed on the specific contribution of each method\, as well as the use of combined methods to advance specific research questions. This course is designed for those with a specific research question in mind.

Who’s to say? The animals of these fields and woods\, streams and ponds surely know. They take time each day to adventure and roam\, scamper and scout. The plants and trees excitedly join in. Some bend and sway and some glisten in rain. Perhaps each invites their friends from away to come and show them new ways of play. Let’s have a look and spend the day imagining what happens when we look away. An exploration of encounters real and imagined by local artist\, Nicole Ray. \n\nBio\n\nNicole Ray is an artist and illustrator living in Brighton\, Michigan. She grew up in a small beach town in New York with her toes deep in the sand and her head buried in books. Nicole creates a whimsical line of art prints and paper goods under the name Sloe Gin Fizz.\n\nFrom quirky animal and vegetable characters to nostalgia-filled interiors and calming views of nature\, Nicole’s hand-drawn scenes are highly accessible\, infused with a playful sense of humor and a strong narrative quality. \n\nNicole holds a BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts\, as well as a BA in History from Trinity College in Hartford\, CT. Nicole and her mister live in a log house on a lake just north of Ann Arbor with a spoiled border collie named Stella and an ever-expanding network of critter friends.

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:107870-21817836@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:20240130T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240618T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240618T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Angkor Complex: ​Cultural Heritage and Post-Genocide Memory in Cambodia. 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:114750-21833532@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.

DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: Despite the ubiquity of modern electronics in our pockets\, cars\, and buildings\, there’s still relatively few sensors deployed in the natural environment\, including the watersheds\, nearshore areas and open waters of the Great Lakes. Why is that? This seminar will examine a few case studies where the number of sensors has scaled quickly and where progress has stalled. Technological advancements have helped to increase sensor reliability and lower costs (both capital and operation)\, but catastrophic events are still the main catalyzing force driving rapid change in the region. Examples include the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald\, large hurricanes\, and more recently the Toledo Water Crisis. These events have been the nucleation point that has driven the deployment and ongoing operation of over 100 operational sensors on the Great Lakes. However\, these investments pale in comparison to the rapid adoption of sensors in other public sectors including transportation (traffic)\, energy (smart grid)\, and even terrestrial weather. Government funding after each disaster helped rapidly advance new sensor networks\, however\, ongoing expansion and operation of similar sensors has fallen on a mix of federal\, state\, and local sources of funding. However\, there are some exceptions including the use of technology within fisheries management\, which is accelerating adoption of several low and high-tech sensor networks. A myriad of agencies and commercial companies all play a role in coordinating\, funding\, and maintaining sensors networks in these public spaces. Identification of mismatches between investments (either in the public or private sector) in monitoring and public health or shear economic value are easy targets for expansion. While deploying and maintaining sensors offshore is challenging\, there’s many opportunities to grow watershed\, shoreline\, and mobile asset monitoring. Careful attention needs to be paid to the means of funding (public) or monetization (private)\, and how to incentivize\, rather than mandate\, the expansion of sensor networks that reduce risk (health or financial) and improve our understanding of the largest freshwater ecosystem on the planet.\n\nAbout the speaker: Ed Verhamme is a Principal and Senior Engineer at LimnoTech and was recently named president of Freeboard Technology\, a new water technology start-up he co-founded as a subsidiary of LimnoTech.

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:84303-21621315@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:20240703T063133 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240618T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240618T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Dream Job Walk-and-Talk Series: Summer 2024 | June 18\, 2024 DESCRIPTION:Event Description:The summer beforeyour Sophomore year is the perfect time to start setting yourself up to get your dream job when you graduate.

In recent years the artist has gravitated towards signage\, print\, poster\, stamp\, reproduction and automation and highlighting the roll advertisement and design play in war. Some pieces include pin up nose bird art\, signage\, ration packaging and wartime tattoo flash.

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.

Who’s to say? The animals of these fields and woods\, streams and ponds surely know. They take time each day to adventure and roam\, scamper and scout. The plants and trees excitedly join in. Some bend and sway and some glisten in rain. Perhaps each invites their friends from away to come and show them new ways of play. Let’s have a look and spend the day imagining what happens when we look away. An exploration of encounters real and imagined by local artist\, Nicole Ray. \n\nBio\n\nNicole Ray is an artist and illustrator living in Brighton\, Michigan. She grew up in a small beach town in New York with her toes deep in the sand and her head buried in books. Nicole creates a whimsical line of art prints and paper goods under the name Sloe Gin Fizz.\n\nFrom quirky animal and vegetable characters to nostalgia-filled interiors and calming views of nature\, Nicole’s hand-drawn scenes are highly accessible\, infused with a playful sense of humor and a strong narrative quality. \n\nNicole holds a BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts\, as well as a BA in History from Trinity College in Hartford\, CT. Nicole and her mister live in a log house on a lake just north of Ann Arbor with a spoiled border collie named Stella and an ever-expanding network of critter friends.

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.

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:114750-21833533@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.

The EECS department has partnered with two black-owned businesses\, Good Eats and Motor City Sweet Treats\, to offer food truck lunches. As a university\, recognizing Juneteenth involves acknowledging the significance of this date in American history. Juneteenth\, which is celebrated on June 19th\, marks the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston\, Texas\, and announced the end of the Civil War\, ensuring the freedom of all slaves. This was two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation had formally freed slaves in the Confederate states. Juneteenth thus celebrates the end of slavery in the United States and is a day for education and reflection on the history of slavery and the ongoing struggle for racial justice.

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:84303-21621316@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:20240508T115853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240619T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240619T130000 SUMMARY:Performance:Community Keys DESCRIPTION:From May 1 to June 21\, painted pianos by University of Michigan students bring Ann Arbor public spaces to life with impromptu performances throughout Ann Arbor.\n\nThe project’s grand finale piano trio performance is at 8:15PM on June 21 at Top of the Park for a Make Music Day community concert.\n\nScheduled University of Michigan student performances occur at 12:00pm on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the following locations:\n \nSaturday\, May 4: Michigan Theater – Trenton Chang\nWednesday\, May 8: Shapiro Undergraduate Library – Matthew Osterholzer\nSaturday\, May 11: Ann Arbor Farmers Market – Trenton Chang\nWednesday\, May 15: Michigan Theater – Mira Walker\nSaturday\, May 18: Ann Arbor Farmers Market – Mark Zhu\nWednesday\, May 22: Shapiro Undergraduate Library – Cindy Lee\nSaturday\, May 25: Michigan Theater – Cindy Lee\nWednesday\, May 29: Michigan Theater – Matthew Osterholzer\nSaturday\, June 1: Ann Arbor Farmers Market – Max Zelle\nWednesday\, June 5: Shapiro Undergraduate Library – Mira Walker\nSaturday\, June 8: Ann Arbor Farmers Market – Regina Arriola\nWednesday\, June 12: Shapiro Undergraduate Library – Regina Arriola\nSaturday\, June 15: Ann Arbor Farmers Market – Mark Zhu\nWednesday\, June 19: Michigan Theater – Max Zelle\n\nThe Community Keys project was proposed by Ashley Gray\, Sophomore in the School of Kinesiology\, and is supported through the U-M Arts Initiative’s Projects in Partnership (PiP) (*formerly Collaborative Projects) funding program\, which supports large-scale projects that activate the campus and local community.\n\nPresented by Arts Initiative\, A2SF\, Ann Arbor Farmers Market\, Michigan Theater\, Michigan Libraries\, with additional support from Louise and Andrew Chang.

I will offer some reflections on this development based on my collaborations with researchers in the Relativistic Quantum Information community. In particular\, I will focus on the role that metaphysical and interpretative issues have played. I will conclude with a discussion of some implications of recent work in Relativistic Quantum Information that are of philosophical interest pertaining to intertheoretic relations between non-relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. (This talk will be pitched to a general audience of philosophers and physicists and will not require technical background in quantum field theory.)\n\n5-5:50 pm Bixin Guo (University of Pittsburgh): Next Best Thing—What Can Quantum Mechanics Tell Us About the Fundamental Ontology of the World?\n\nMany discussions in the metaphysics and philosophy of physics literature aim to use physics as a guide to elucidate what the world really\, fundamentally is like. However\, we don’t yet have a confirmed fundamental theory of physics—what’s the next best thing we can possibly say about the fundamental that is properly informed by our best theories of physics? This paper offers a starting point to address this question. It focuses on the literature on the ontology of quantum mechanics\, where the problem is especially salient: Many proposals aim at drawing the fundamental ontology of the world from quantum mechanics\, even though they often focus on a non-fundamental theory such as nonrelativistic quantum particle mechanics. I argue that quantum mechanics can plausibly be informative about the fundamental if it is taken as a general framework theory\, which covers a range of specific concrete theories\, including nonrelativistic quantum particle mechanics\, the Standard Model of particle physics\, and string theory. I use Wavefunction Realism as an example to demonstrate what kind of ontological lessons about the world at the fundamental level the quantum framework may teach us.\n\nIf you have any questions please contact: fcalder@umich.edu UID:122404-21848952@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122404 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Philosophy,Physics LOCATION:Michigan Union - Pond CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240704T123110 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240619T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240619T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:*RSVP required to attend.
