As part of our inaugural series celebrating the theme of curiosity, we invite you to a thought-provoking conversation featuring Kishonna L. Gray, Professor of Information and Matthew Solomon, Professor of Film, Television, and Media, facilitated by Professors Natalie Davis and Jon Wargo. In this session, each of our panelists will delve into how curiosity intersects with learning in their fields, from curiosity-driven research to innovative teaching practices.

Then we’ll open up the conversation, asking how fostering curiosity can lead to deeper knowledge and broader perspectives?

Presentations: Kishonna L. Gray - “We got next!” Getting Curious with Others in Gaming This interactive experience centers on what we’ve learned from youth cultures in gaming. Youth are full of curiosity and imagination and engage gaming in truly innovative ways. So by exploring how they play, make, and create, we can develop better tools for gaming. Matthew Solomon - Getting Curious and Collaborative with the Canon: From Archival Research to New Media Sometimes, there can be a sense that there’s “nothing more to be said or done” with certain works that have prominent places in the canon of the arts and humanities. The film Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941) is one such canonical work, but my feeling has been that there is always more work to be done, although inevitably new approaches are needed. In my presentation, I will discuss the collaborative and pedagogical work I’ve done since 2017 at the University of Michigan examining Citizen Kane through the Welles papers in the Mavericks & Makers collections in the UM Special Collections Research Center; co-creating the “VR Citizen Kane” teaching and learning tool with Dr. Vincent Longo (Western Michigan University) in collaboration with the Emerging Technologies Group at the UM Duderstadt Center with generous grant support from LSA Technology Services; and teaching a course exclusively devoted to Citizen Kane, FTVM 307 (Film Analysis for Filmmakers), in which students have examined archival sources while rethinking the film from the inside out through virtual reality, virtual production, and reenactment.

si Brown Bag Seminar | Exploring the dark side in the era of Roman (November 13, 2024 12:00pm) By events.umich.edu Published On :: Fri, 25 Oct 2024 10:44:18 -0400 Event Begins: Wednesday, November 13, 2024 12:00pm Location: Randall Laboratory Organized By: Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics Gravitational microlensing is one of the most sensitive methods we have to search for macroscopic dark matter. NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope will dramatically advance this search by performing a comprehensive microlensing survey of the Galactic Bulge at sensitivities orders of magnitude stronger than existing telescopes. Its unprecedented sensitivity will provide the opportunity to search for dark matter across a wide range of unexplored parameter space; however, it will also pose new challenges, including an irreducible astrophysical background in the form of free-floating planets. In this talk, I will discuss how population-level modeling can help mitigate this background and open the potential for Roman to make a first discovery of macroscopic dark matter in our galaxy.
