Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
2017-09-24 13:00 - 2017-09-25 02:00, 2017-09-25 08:00 - 23:00 (America/Detroit) | Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery (Room 100)
The University of Michigan was founded in 1817 as a public institution, a concept for which there were few models. What makes a university public? What should it look like? Whom should it serve? Who should have access to its resources, and where should those resources come from?

This exhibit explores how students, faculty, staff, politicians, and citizens have attempted to answer these questions. These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.

Exhibit team: Jonathan Farr, Nora Krinitsky, Michelle McClellan, Gregory Parker, Emily Price, Kate Silbert

This LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

The LSA Honor Council is an undergraduate student organization dedicated to developing initiatives that aid in the promotion of respect, integrity, and personal responsibility. We also attend meetings hosted by the Office of Student Academic Affairs for students accused of academic misconduct. In our recruitment efforts, we prioritize the importance of forming a council composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. This spectrum of varied perspectives enables our council to more effectively address issues of integrity on our campus. This upcoming year, we are recruiting a group of motivated and dedicated LSA students who are interested in working closely with the deans, faculty, and fellow students to promote a campus culture that values integrity. This past year, we have accomplished this goal by hosting faculty department presentations, tabling events, and discussions of current ethical issues. Most recently, we hosted Dr. Victor Strecher from the School of Public Health to present a talk on “Designing a Happy Life.” Given the breadth of our activities, it is crucial that we incorporate students with diverse skill sets to maximize our council’s potential. We hope that you will join us next fall! Link to application: http://lsastudenthc.weebly.com/become-a-member.html

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
2017-09-25 08:00 - 20:00 | University Hospitals - University Hospital Main Lobby, Floor 1
Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner, will be on display.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Cut Ups: Paper Collage
2017-09-25 08:00 - 20:00 | University Hospitals - University Hospital Main Corridor, Floor 2
Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester, Michigan.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Under Covers: Encaustic & Mixed Media
2017-09-25 08:00 - 20:00 | University Hospitals - Taubman Health Center North Lobby, Floor 1
Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation, assimilation, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
2017-09-25 08:00 - 17:00 | University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1
Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs, galleries and even Army barrack walls, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin, Indiana, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts
2017-09-25 08:00 - 23:00 | Michigan Union - Willis Ward Art Lounge
The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation, multiplicity, seriality. Through his works, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement, exile, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China, Endi Poskovic, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan, CIUM presents this exhibition.

Over the course of years, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works, “Majestic” and “Dream”, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories, shifting cultural identities, environmental transformation, migration and alienation.

Endi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia, Norway, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the United States Fulbright Commission, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, the Norwegian Government, the Camargo Foundation, the Flemish Ministry of Culture, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the Art Matters Foundation, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum, Detroit Institute of Arts, Jincheon Art Museum, South Korea and others.

Exhibition:Possession, pop-up exhibition by Jaye Schlesinger
2017-09-25 08:00 - 17:00 | 202 S. Thayer - Institute for the Humanities Common Room
Possession evolved in response to Ann Arbor artist Jaye Schlesinger’s interest in mindfulness and minimalism and the role they play in personal well being. After disposing (selling, recycling, giving away) of everything that no longer served to enrich her life, Schlesinger decided to merge this exercise with her art practice and depicted all of her remaining possessions in small oil paintings, 380 in total. The paintings depict objects of functionality and ones of beauty, eliciting contemplation and conversation about the ‘stuff’ we choose to live with.

Exhibition:Reverberations of Rebellion: 1967 in Detroit and Ann Arbor
2017-09-25 08:00 - 23:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - North Lobby (off the Diag)
The 1967 Detroit rebellion was a pivotal event in the history of the Motor City. While Ann Arbor may seem far removed from Detroit, the themes of 1967—housing segregation, media bias, student activism, and police violence—resonated here as well.

This exhibit, on display in the Hatcher Graduate Library North lobby through September 15, 2017, highlights the extensive archival resources of the Bentley Historical Library and the U-M Library’s Labadie Collection. These materials place the rebellion in the context of 1960s activism against racism and inequality in Detroit and Ann Arbor, and illustrate the significance and range of press coverage.

Exhibition:The Grandmother Tree Walk
2017-09-25 08:00 - 20:00 | Nichols Arboretum
Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum celebrates the University of Michigan bicentennial with a tour of 12 historic trees in the Arboretum. The bicentennial story is told from the perspective of the trees, and key moments of U-M's people and history that occurred during the trees' long lives are revealed. Visitors may pick up a map at the Arb visitor center to take this easy, self-guided tour.

Exhibition:Waiting for the Extraordinary installation by Mark Dion
2017-09-25 08:00 - 17:00 | 202 S. Thayer - Institute for the Humanities Gallery
About the installation: As part of the Institute for the Humanities 2017-18 Year of Archives and Futures, and in celebration of the U-M Bicentennial, the Institute for the Humanities presents a new iteration of Mark Dion’s Waiting for the Extraordinary, which was commissioned and first exhibited here in 2011. Inspired by the academic classifications invented by 19th-century Michigan Chief Justice Augustus B. Woodward, this new, architecturally scaled installation serves as an archive of the original, and presents a single room with thirteen plastic sculptures, each representing one of Woodward’s professorships. As viewers peer into the space and encounter these illuminated objects—reproduced using 3D imaging technology from original objects Dion found in departments and collections across the University of Michigan—they confront questions about the distinction between the rational and subjective in our construction of knowledge, as well as role of the museum and institutions that continue to determine it.

About the artist: Mark Dion’s work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history, knowledge, and the natural world. “The job of the artist,” he says, “is to go against the grain of dominant culture, to challenge perception and convention.” Appropriating archaeological, field ecology, and other scientific methods of collecting, ordering, and exhibiting objects, Dion creates works that question the distinctions between ‘objective’ (‘rational’) scientific methods and ‘subjective’ (‘irrational’) influences. Mark Dion questions the objectivity and authoritative role of the scientific voice in contemporary society, tracking how pseudo-science, social agendas, and ideology creep into public discourse and knowledge production.

Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
2017-09-25 08:30 - 18:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room
Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517, Martin Luther, a professor of theology and a monk, published his scathing critique of indulgences, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.

Issued in the provincial town of Wittenberg, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.

The late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged, the demand for practical learning grew, more universities competed for students, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication, knowledge, and belief. In this context, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious, economic, and political change.

Audubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
2017-09-25 09:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location
In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled Cosmogonic Tattoos, his project will use adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides, imaginatively transformed within our campus context, this project celebrates the power of architecture, ornament, and material objects to shape knowledge, historical memory, and cultural identity.

Look for displays in the UMMA from April 22-Dec. 3, the exterior of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Dec. 17, and in the interior special exhibition space of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Sept. 10.

Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
2017-09-25 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
In celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017, artist and distinguished U​–M art professor Jim Cogswell has been invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. For this visionary project, the artist will adhere a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums’ permanent collections. The juxtaposed images will address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge, memory, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.
Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at UMMA April 22 through December 3, 2017 and at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology from June 2 through December 17, 2017.
Lead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Exhibition:Gloss: Modeling Beauty
2017-09-25 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Focusing on the prominent role of women as the subject of photography, GLOSS: Modeling Beauty explores the shifting ideals of female beauty that pervade European and American visual culture from the 1920s to today. The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen, Philippe Halsman, Helmut Newton, Andy Warhol, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt, Joel Meyerowitz, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And
artists James Van Der Zee, Eduardo Paolozzi, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.

Lead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
2017-09-25 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. In the video Towards An Architect, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software, written by the artist, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.

Moving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary, Istanbul, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.

Lead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
2017-09-25 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Before colonization, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs, and covered in beads and precious metals, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles, animal skin, metal, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria, Ghana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.

Lead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction
2017-09-25 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world.

This two-part exhibition presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. Part II: Abstraction, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti,
Louise Nevelson, Christo, Lorna Simpson, José Parlá, and Do Ho Su, among others. It also features a fifth-century Korean roof end tile and an Amish quilt, as well as a work by an Inuit master—thus inviting visitors to explore the pleasures of abstraction across a wide range of media, eras, and genres. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26, 2017, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly, not all together. For visitors, and especially for future Michigan alumni, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.

This exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa, Guest Curator, in collaboration with Laura De Becker, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art, Jennifer Friess, Assistant Curator of Photography, Lehti Mairike Keelman, Assistant Curator of Western Art, and Natsu Oyobe, Curator of Asian Art.

Lead support for Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the University of Michigan Office of the President, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

Presentation:Developmental Area Brown Bag - The importance of parents and neighborhoods for children’s socioemotional and biological development
2017-09-25 12:00 - 13:00 | East Hall - 4464
Abstract: In this talk, I will present the results of two papers that that examine the effects of the social-context (i.e., parents, neighborhoods) on children’s socioemotional and corticolimbic development. The first paper uses data from the Fragile Families study, a longitudinal birth-cohort of 4,898 families oversampled for non-marital births, to test a longitudinal Family Stress Model with child internalizing and externalizing behaviors as the outcomes. The second paper uses data from the Pitt Mother and Child Project, a prospective longitudinal study of 310 low-income boys, to investigate the effects of the neighborhood context across childhood on corticolimbic function in young adulthood.

Bio: Arianna Gard is a fifth-year doctoral candidate in Developmental Psychology. Her work examines biopsychosocial models of psychopathology, with a focus on the interplay between parenting, corticolimbic function, and genome-wide genetic liability.

Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series- Hurricanes: What's Next?
2017-09-25 12:00 - 23:59 | Off Campus Location
The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season has produced incredibly destructive storms, and has raised many questions. What drives a hurricane? How accurate are hurricane models? How do authorities prepare for hurricanes and, when destructive events like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma happen, how do we respond? Is this hurricane season a fluke, or should we start planning for more/similar storms? In this Teach-Out, we will explore the science of hurricanes, hurricane forecasting and monitoring, and with what confidence can we attribute these storms to a warming ocean.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community.

Exhibition:Exhibition Presentation and Opening: The Future Needs..Something Blue
2017-09-25 15:00 - 19:00 | Off Campus Location
Could anyone have foreseen the technical, social, and conceptual issues that have confronted the University of Michigan since its founding 200 years ago, or the challenges it has faced in the last 100, 50, or even five years? In the marshaling of knowledge and expertise, the greatest achievement of the University lies not in its continuity, but in its ability to address the unforeseen. Drawing on the student work from the Taubman College Architecture Program, “The Future Needs…Something Blue” addresses an idea of the future that lies not in the answers to questions we now know, but in possibilities we are only now beginning to imagine. Sited at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning’s Liberty Research Annex, the display is simultaneously shop window, gallery, and salon. Organized around a series of emergent themes it is an interactional space in which to view (in perspective, parallax, parallel, and contrast) the multiple points of view that constitute the future.
“The Future Needs…Something Blue” is curated by Associate Professor of Practice Julia McMorrough and Associate Professor John McMorrough of studioAPT (Architecture Practice Theory).
On Tuesday, September 19 at 6:00pm there will be an opening reception at the Liberty Research Annex (305 W. Liberty St., Ann Arbor). Exhibition on view September 20 - October 29.

Class / Instruction:When History Feeds Fiction
2017-09-25 15:15 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location
The central core of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ novel, The General in his Labyrinth (1989, translated by Edith Grossman) focuses on Simon Bolivar’s last and final trip. Masterly weaving history and fiction, the author focuses his attention on the final months of life of a sick and defeated man, one who has been rejected by the nations he has liberated. Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s writing in this novel is inextricably tied to a geographic and historic reality. He not only describes the Colombian and Venezuelan battles for independence, he provides a prolific description of the navigation through the Rio Magdalena and the small fluvial towns where the General stops on his way.

This study group for those 50 and above will be led by instructor Eliana Moya-Raggio for one hour and 45 minute sessions on Mondays from September 25 through December 4 (except for October 16).

Workshop / Seminar:Social, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Multidimensional Bargaining and Inventory Risk in Supply Chains: An Experimental Study
2017-09-25 15:30 - 17:00 | North Quad - 3100 (Ehrlicher Room)
Abstract:

We study the impact of multidimensional bargaining and the location of inventory risk on the performance of a two-stage supply chain. We conduct a controlled human-subjects experiment where a retailer and supplier either interact through ultimatum offers or dynamically bargain over contract terms, including a wholesale price and, potentially, an order quantity. We also manipulate whether the risk associated with unsold inventory lies with the retailer or the supplier or is endogenously determined in the bargaining process. One key insight is that supply chain efficiency is significantly higher when the order quantity is included in the negotiation and that, contrary to the normative theory, this leads to a Pareto improvement whereby both the supplier and retailer earn higher profits. A second important result, also counter to the normative theory, is that the party incurring the cost of unsold inventory always earns a lower profit than their counterpart, regardless of the bargaining environment or inventory risk location. To explain these data, we posit that retailers and suppliers are affected by an anchoring bias and demonstrate that it can explain many of our results.

Film Screening:CMENAS Colloquium Film Screening. Rachel
2017-09-25 16:00 - 18:00 | Weiser Hall - Room 555
Please join us for a screening of the film, "Rachel," a 2009 documentary film by Simone Bitton detailing the death of Rachel Corrie. Rachel was an American peace activist, killed by an Israeli military bulldozer in 2003 during a nonviolent action against the demolition of Palenstinians homes in Rafah, Gaza.

Rachel is an in-depth cinematic investigation into the death of an unknown young girl, made with a rigor and scope normally reserved for first-rate historical characters. It gives voice to all the people involved in Rachel’s story, from Palestinian and foreign witnesses to Israeli military spokespersons and investigators, doctors, activists and soldiers linked to the affair. The film begins like a classic documentary, but soon develops, transcending its subject and transforming into a cinematographic meditation on youth, war, idealism, and political utopia. In the beginning, there is this: she was called Rachel Corrie. She was 23. She was convinced that her American nationality would be enough to make her an effective human shield, that her simple presence would save lives, olive trees, wells, and houses

Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Constraining New Physics with Lepton Flavor Violating Meson Decays
2017-09-25 16:00 - 17:00 | West Hall - 335
Radiative and non-radiative lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays M --> (gamma) + l-lbar pair of meson states M with different quantum numbers can be used to put constraints on the Wilson coefficients of effective operators describing LFV interactions at low energy scales. The restricted kinematics of the two-body meson decays allows for the selection of operators with particular quantum numbers, significantly reducing the reliance on the single operator dominance assumption that is prevalent in constraining parameters of the effective LFV Lagrangian. Studies of radiative lepton flavor violating M --> (gamma) + l-lbar pair decays provide complementary access to those effective operators, but more importantly, they can provide access to operators that cannot be directly probed via two-body decays.

Strategic nonviolent action is needed today more than ever. Drawing on insights from scholars and practitioners, as well as domestic and international case studies of nonviolent movements, Mr. Merriman will focus on key attributes that enable these movements to powerfully confront oppression and win rights, freedom, and justice.

Hardy Merriman, President of the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict (ICNC)
Hardy Merriman has worked in the field of civil resistance for nearly 15 years, presenting at workshops for activists and organizers around the world; speaking widely about civil resistance movements with academics, journalists, and members of international organizations; and developing resources for practitioners and scholars.

The Bloodmobile Routing Problem
Grisselle Centeno, PhD

Blood centers must determine on a daily basis a set of locations among a group of potential sites to route bloodmobiles for blood collection so as to avoid shortages for health interventions. In this study, a vehicle routing problem is modeled using integer programming approach to identify number of bloodmobiles to operate, and to minimize the distance travelled. The model is extended to incorporate uncertainty in blood potentials and variable durations in bloodmobile visits.

Dr. Grisselle Centeno is an Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering at the University of South Florida. Her research and teaching interests include optimization-based modeling for the planning and control of operations in healthcare, transportation and manufacturing industries. She possesses experience in working with large-scale mathematical programming models and building decision support systems. Her research work has been supported by NSF, FDOT, and ONR, among other sources. Dr. Centeno is also highly involved in conducting research in the area of engineering education and promoting the growth of a diverse engineering workforce.

The seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary, systems-engineering approach.

Other:Author's Forum Presents: Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy
2017-09-25 17:30 - 19:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery, room #100
Heather Ann Thompson (U-M Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies, and History) reads from her Pulitzer Prize-winning book Blood in the Water, followed by a conversation with Angela Dillard (U-M Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies) and then audience Q & A and book sale & signing.

About the book:
On September 9, 1971, nearly 1,300 prisoners took over the Attica Correctional Facility in upstate New York to protest years of mistreatment. Holding guards and civilian employees hostage, the prisoners negotiated with officials for improved conditions during the four long days and nights that followed.

On September 13, the state abruptly sent hundreds of heavily armed troopers and correction officers to retake the prison by force. Their gunfire killed thirty-nine men—hostages as well as prisoners—and severely wounded more than one hundred others. In the ensuing hours, weeks, and months, troopers and officers brutally retaliated against the prisoners. And, ultimately, New York State authorities prosecuted only the prisoners, never once bringing charges against the officials involved in the retaking and its aftermath and neglecting to provide support to the survivors and the families of the men who had been killed.

Drawing from more than a decade of extensive research, historian Heather Ann Thompson sheds new light on every aspect of the uprising and its legacy, giving voice to all those who took part in this forty-five-year fight for justice: prisoners, former hostages, families of the victims, lawyers and judges, and state officials and members of law enforcement. Blood in the Water is the searing and indelible account of one of the most important civil rights stories of the last century.

Lecture / Discussion:The Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Genetics and Newborn Screening
2017-09-25 18:00 - 19:15 | Michigan League - Vandenberg Room
Advances in prenatal screening and genetic manipulation have the potential to all but eliminate birth defects and genetic disorders. For example, prenatal genetic testing in Iceland has almost completely erased incidents of down’s syndrome in newborns. This has led to growing concerns over creating designer babies, hyperbole about the potential for a new era of eugenics, and broader questions about whether science is outstripping societal or ethical norms in regards to human genetic diversity.

Join Joselin Linder, author of “The Family Gene”, and Jodyn Platt, assistant professor in the U-M Medical School in a panel discussion about the ethical, legal, and social implications of genetics and newborn screening. The conversation will be moderated by Kayte Spector-Bagdady, assistant professor in the U-M Medical School and chief of the research ethics service in the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine.

Presentation:UM Psychology Community Talk with Dr. Allison Earl
2017-09-25 19:00 - 20:30 | Off Campus Location
Is the news fake and the facts alternative? Why people hear what they want to hear and how to effectively bridge the divide

Abstract:
Fake news is only fake to those who don’t believe it. In other words, what we already think can color how we evaluate new persuasive messages, particularly about topics in which we are deeply invested (e.g., gun control, climate change, health recommendations). This talk will explore some common pitfalls when evaluating information about which we already have opinions, as well as why we are so motivated to feel right (even when we may not be), and will conclude with some strategies for reducing these biases.

Bio:

The cities of Berlin and Detroit are full of amazing artists. Very much in the same way in which Berlin was regarded as the subcultural capital of the world some 15 or 20 years ago, when artists were flocking to it because of affordable space, bringing with them an incredible energy and of course many talents and abilities, you can feel a certain kind of energy when you travel to Detroit these days. It is rough and at the same time interesting and beautiful. Grimy and at the same time elegant and free. It is a place where devastation is still visible alongside new opportunities. Opportunities for artists, activists and resistance movements to help turn the city into the magnificent place it could be in order to make things better for all of its residents.

From September 11th to September 20th, 2016 artists from Berlin and Detroit, poets, emcees, singer/songwriters, beat producers, came together in Detroit in order to get to know one another and to create. During that period, they also visited the University of Michigan and ran workshops and Q&A sessions with our students. In June of 2017, they got back together, this time in Berlin in order to present what had been created in Detroit, including an album, music videos, and a documentary about the visit. For more information, please visit the project website at http://be-troit.com/, and the Be-Troit blog at http://gangway.de/en/betroit-blog-jugendaustausch-berlin-detroit-vom-11-24-9-2016/; a trailer for the documentary is at https://vimeo.com/215179507.

Now a delegation returns to present the amazing work that came out of this unique collaboration between Berlin- and Detroit-based artists. Please join us for a screening of Philip Halver’s inspiring documentary, artist performances, and a Q&A with BeTroit participants.

This event is free and open to the public.

Other:THE DEAD PIZZA SOCIETY: ACT TWO
2017-09-25 20:00 - 21:30 | 1210 Chem
Stinky Pete the Prospector once said: "How long will it last, Woody? Do you really think Andy is going to take you to college, or on his honeymoon? Andy's growing up, and there's nothing you can do about it. It's your choice, Woody. You can go back, or you can stay with us and last forever. You'll be adored by children for generations." This got Woody to think. The answer to this question is more complex than it seems on the surface. In order to answer this question, he's really answering the question, "What do you ultimately want out of your life?" Is it what you're spending most of your time chasing? Is the chase itself enough? Help us explore this tricky question and see if you can come up with an answer for yourself. After all, if there is a goal to life, whatever it is, we should go for it. So join us for pizza-eating and philosophical thinking on Monday, September 25 8:00 pm. We will gather in Angell Hall Auditorium D once again. Bring a friend, and have your friend bring a friend. Your friend's friend can bring a friend as well, just remember to RSVP by replying to this email with a meme from your favorite movie sequel. This is important so we know how much pizza to get, and so I can laugh at memes. Carpe Diem, Alex KretzschmerSecretary of the Dead Pizza Society

Performance:University Philharmonia Orchestra
2017-09-25 20:00 | Hill Auditorium
Oriol Sans, conductor

Pre-concert lecture at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.

For its first concert of the year the University Philharmonia Orchestra will perform Felix Mendelssohn’s captivating Scottish Symphony, a piece inspired by his visit to the ruins of the Palace of Holyrood in Edinburgh in 1829. The whole work, completed thirteen years later, evolves like a musical stroll around the stones, arches, and half walls of the palace: somber tones, folky sections, magical textures, and a triumphant ending. Tam O’Shanter Overture by Malcolm Arnold as well as Thomas Adès' dances from his opera Powder Her Face provide a less idealistic and Romantic contribution to this musical portrait of Scotland.

PROGRAM:
Malcolm Arnold- Tam O’Shanter Overture
Thomas Adès- dances from Powder Her Face
Felix Mendelssohn- Symphony No. 3 “Scottish"
