DESCRIPTION: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 UID:42259-10129585@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Michigan CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170821T163348 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170929T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170929T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:2017 NextProf Future Faculty Workshop DESCRIPTION:NextProf-UM is designed to prepare Engineering doctoral students from all over the United States for the academic job market and navigating the rigors of first faculty positions.

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?\n\nThis 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.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis 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.

In November 2016\, following a trip to Mexico\, birds unexpectedly started migrating to her canvases and an entirely new body of work began to take shape.

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.

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.

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.

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.” UID:43032-9696872@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170726T152806 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170929T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170929T210000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michigan Past & Present DESCRIPTION:Profiles of U-M’s first six students\, and the two faculty who taught them\, and how they compare to the university of 2017.

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.

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. \n\nThis 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.

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.\n\nAbout 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.\n\nImage: Mark DION\nWaiting for the\nExtraordinary\n2013\nmixed media\n96 x 61 x 122\ninches\; 243.8 x\n154.9 x 309.9 cm\nCourtesy the artist\nand Tanya Bonakdar\nGallery\, New York UID:42127-9560420@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42127 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Bicentennial,Exhibition,History,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.\n\nIssued 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593337@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170726T094049 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170929T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170929T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ACS Medicinal Chemistry Symposium DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan ACS Medicinal Chemistry Student Chapter would like to invite you to attend the Second Annual ACS Medicinal Chemistry Symposium.

Of particular interest for this meeting is the evaluation of their importance for contemporary political thought\, under conditions of globalization and the crisis of liberal democracy\, not so much in reference to the way Derrida remains faithful to the philosophers he approaches\, but to the way in which his reading shifts the very ground of our thinking regarding the relation between historicity\, the history of Being\, and our understanding of the the limitations of the political.

Auditing in this sense takes its name from the social scientific “audit study” where one feature is manipulated in a field experiment\, although it is also reminiscent of a financial audit.\n\nThese events and the resulting white paper proposes to coalesce this new area of inquiry and to produce a report characterizing the state of the art and potential future directions. Participants and white paper co-authors will have opportunities to clarify the potential dangers of algorithmic systems\, to specify these dangers as new research problems\, to articulate challenges that they face as researchers interested in this area\, to present existing methods for auditing or needs for new methods\, and to propose research agendas that can provide new insights that advance science and benefit society.\n\nThis initiative is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and co-organized by the University of Michigan\, the University of Illinois\, and Harvard University.

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.\nCosmogonic 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.\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

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\nartists 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.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch.

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.\n\nMoving 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.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

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.\n\nLead 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.

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\,\nLouise 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.

In The Reaper’s Garden\, Vincent Brown presents such disputes over the public commemoration of the slaveholding past within the frame of “mortuary politics\,” in which the rituals\, practices\, and remembrance of death both uphold and challenge the social order. This panel seeks to generate a conversation between graduate students and Brown’s work\, focusing on the role of death in (1) structures of authority\, (2) popular political action\, and (3) community formation and disruption. Drawing on a variety of different local contexts\, from the nineteenth-century Caribbean to contemporary Africa and Latin America\, the panelists will incorporate evidence from their own research in order to respond to central questions about the generative power and the long afterlife of death in the Atlantic world.\n\nPanelists:\nJamie Andreson\, PhD Candidate\, Anthropology and History\, University of Michigan\nChristine Chalifoux\, PhD Student\, Anthropology\, University of Michigan\nAna Maria Silva\, PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan\nAndrew Walker\, PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan\nWilliam Calvo-Quirós (chair)\, Assistant Professor\, American Culture\, University of Michigan\nVincent Brown (respondent)\, Charles Warren Professor of American History\; Professor\, African and African-American Studies\; Harvard University\n\nFree and open to the public.

They understand that good ergonomics improves employee well-being. This includes reductions in causal absenteeism\, first aid cases\, modified duty cases\, recordable injuries\, lost-time cases\, worker’s compensation claim costs\, among others. However\, dominant stakeholders (i.e.\, Plant Leadership\, Quality\, Operations\, Manufacturing\, Board of Directors\, and Investors) generally have a limited awareness or understanding of the value of ergonomics. As a result\, it is often overlooked and underexploited. During this presentation\, participants will learn how to best convey the value of ergonomics to business stakeholders. This includes how to engage and communicate with business stakeholders\, and how to educate them on the value of ergonomics on business performance.

These probes are not independent\, since they all measure the same physical fields. The resulting cross-correlations allow for a robust test of the cosmological model through the consistency of different physical tracers and for the identification of systematics. Integrated analyses taking into account both the auto- as well as the cross-correlations between cosmological probes therefore present a promising analysis method for both current as well as future data.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present an integrated analysis of CMB temperature anisotropies\, CMB lensing\, galaxy clustering and weak lensing as well as background probes. I will describe the cosmological probe combination framework\, the obtained results and illustrate how this analysis has provided a confirmation of ΛCDM through the consistency of different probes. Furthermore\, I will discuss possible tensions between the derived constraints on cosmological parameters and existing ones.

DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nTeach-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. Come\, join the conversation!

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley\, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCo-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director of The Power Plant\, and Mark Sealy\, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014)\, who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture\, power\, politics\, and history. \n\nTaking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure\, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed\; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception\; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory\, linguistics\, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history\, culture\, popular media\, cold war politics\, gender\, and ethnicity.\n\nBy presenting the work of artists who bring into play time\, memory\, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past\, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural\, political\, personal\, and national identities.\n\nCo-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive\, an image map\, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory\, images\, and politics to an undeterminable\, obscure\, and un-chartable destination\, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time\, to bring them to encounter images\, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux\, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.\n\nThis image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira\, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.\n\nBy stimulating our personal and collective memory\, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being\, but a “becoming\,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them\, black/white\, or native/foreigner\, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures\, imagined or real.\n\nThe thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.\n\nThe Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP\, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director\, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy\, Director\, Autograph ABP.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner\, Sheryl Oring\, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner\, Oring\, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories\; listening and re-learning\; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.\n\nActive public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming\, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner\; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring\; and a tactile\, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out\, listen\, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.\n\nDylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nSaturdays\, September 9-October 14\, 1-3 pm\n\nDylan Miner\, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University\, is an artist\, activist\, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis)\, the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations\, wage labor\, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response\, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist\, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.\n\nSheryl Oring: I Wish to Say \nFriday\, September 8\, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)\nFridays\, September 15-October 13\, 5-7 pm\n\nNationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing)\, a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project\, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States\, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade\, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3\,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan\, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.\n\nThe Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers \nTuesday\, October 3\, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)\n\nThe Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them\, a rich personal archive of publication clippings\, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform\, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction\, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts\, art\, politics\, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

Our study focuses on a unique Afrikaans-Spanish bilingual community that has lived in Patagonia\, Argentina since the early 1900’s. In this presentation\, we will focus in particular on the production of voiced and voiceless plosives by the Afrikaans-Spanish bilingual speakers in comparison to productions by control L1 Spanish speakers and non-Spanish speaking L1 Afrikaans speakers. Our findings suggest that there are L1-to-L2 transfer effects in especially the production of voiced plosives in the speech of the Afrikaans-Spanish bilinguals (i.e.\, Afrikaans influences their Spanish). We contrast these findings with our previous research on the durational properties of vowels\, which showed L2-to-L1 (but not L1-to-L2) transfer effects for the same group of speakers. Altogether\, our findings speak to the malleability of pronunciation patterns in bilingual speech\, especially in situations of close long-term contact where the L2 becomes the dominant language.

Over the last few decades\, scholars in German\, Film\, Music\, and Literary Studies\, and beyond\, have continued to expand on Kittler’s initial insights into the material nature of sound\, image\, and text\, and the medial operations they entail. Both borrowing from and looking beyond Kittler\, this conference seeks to explore productive points of contact between contemporary media theory\, on the one hand\, and the literary and cultural histories of mediation\, remediation\, and intermediation\, on the other.\n\nFrom Herder’s origins of language and Kant’s public sphere to Nazi propaganda and Siegert’s Kulturtechniken​ \, media and mediation have remained central concepts for understanding German modernities.

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.\n“The Future Needs…Something Blue” is curated by Associate Professor of Practice Julia McMorrough and Associate Professor John McMorrough of studioAPT (Architecture Practice Theory).\nOn 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.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nSince the Bare Phrase Structure was proposed\, ‘projection’\, ‘endocentricity’ and ‘label’ have become just stipulation. In Chomsky (2013)\, based on the simplest Merge\, he argues that ‘label’ must not be formed in narrow syntax and it must be captured by the third factor principle\, i.e.\, labelling algorithm. This exocentric\, search-based system gives rise a new problem: how to label the exocentric structures without any stipulation in narrow syntax? In this talk\, I will present one possible solution in the case of infinitival clauses. Based on Epstein\, Kitahara and Seely (2016)\, I argue that external pair-Merge of phase heads to non-phase heads derives de-phasing effect (a cancellation of phases). The consequences of this analysis are also discussed such as ‘grammatical’ derivations for some cases of improper movement\, including tough-constructions in English\, hyper-raising in Japanese\, and Merge-over-Move principle in terms of labelling.

The condition distinguishes\, for example\, between reproducible scientific evidence and the evidence generated by a crime. When evidence is reproducible ad infinitum\, as in the case of some natural sciences\, facts can be learned with a precision that is only limited by the cost of acquisition relative to maximum level of incentives. When evidence is asymptotically scarce\, however\, there is no way of eliciting the truth from the intermediaries\, no matter how numerous they are and no matter how their incentives are structured.\nThe talk will discuss several extensions and limitations of the result\, as well as its various implications for the role of ethical behavior.

These ‘water ages’ of streamflow and groundwaters have remained poorly understood. Here\, we use stable and radioactive isotope compositions of rain\, snow\, groundwater and streamflow to map the relative amounts of younger versus older water (i) flowing in rivers\, or (ii) discharging from groundwater wells. First\, our research shows that ~1/3 of global streamflow is recent rain or snow that fell and flowed to the stream in less than ~2.3 months. This young streamflow is detectable in the great majority (~90%) of surveyed streams\, implying that most catchments can convey precipitation to the stream channel quite quickly\, possibly leaving little time to detect some soluble pollutants before they reach aquatic ecosystems. Second\, we show that most of the fresh water on the planet is ancient water that has been stored underground form more than 10\,000 years. While vast\, these ‘fossil’ groundwaters are also shown to be vulnerable to modern-era pollutants\, emphasizing that both water quality and sustainability should be considered when managing these deep water resources.

Certain physical gestures that readers enacted with illuminated manuscripts—including kissing or laying hands on certain images\, and rubbing out the faces of others—imparted a ritual significance to books. Just as our twenty-first-century culture of ever-smaller screens has created a set of gestures and habits that had not previously existed (typing with two thumbs\, scrolling\, clicking\, tapping)\, reading manuscripts\, which were increasingly available in the late Middle Ages\, also gave people a new set of physical gestures. In this talk I consider the settings and circumstances by which readers learned to handle—and deface!—their manuscripts. I argue that people in authority\, including priests\, teachers\, parents\, and legal officials\, touched books publicly to carry out rituals. In so doing\, they inadvertently taught audiences how to handle books in highly physical ways. Cumulative wear in books testifies to how they were used and handled.\n\nKathryn Rudy is a renowned specialist in western medieval manuscripts who came to St Andrews in 2011 from the Royal Library in The Hague\, where she had been Curator of Illuminated Manuscripts for several years. Much of her current research focuses on the social lives of late medieval books\, including their customization for specific sets of owners and their physical use (for instance through ritual touching and kissing) by different groups of viewers. To determine how users interacted with their books she uses modern forensic tools and methods\, such as densometers and UV light\, which yield important information as to how often specific books were interacted with and which kinds of images or texts were singled out for particular tactile or oscular attention. Rudy has published five books\, including Postcards on Parchment: The Social Lives of Medieval Books (Yale University Press\, 2015)\, and Rubrics\, Images and Indulgences in Late Medieval Netherlandish Manuscripts (Leiden: Brill\, 2017).

This talk takes as its starting point the history of the Sri Lankan Malays\, a community descended from 18th century royal exiles from across the Indonesian archipelago\, soldiers in colonial armies\, servants\, convicts\, and others sent to Dutch and British Ceylon\, to consider if and how earlier traditions of banishment mattered to the Malays’ images of\, and sense of belonging to the island. In particular\, the talk explores the Islamic tradition that views the island\, which the Arabs called Sarandib\, as the site of Adam’s Fall from Paradise to earth\, and the ways that ancient story helped frame\, and give meaning to exile in the colonial period. \n \nRonit Ricci received her PhD in Comparative Literature from UM in 2006.

Kishek\, IREAP\, Univ of Maryland DESCRIPTION:Title: Recent Advances in Theory of Multipactor Discharges\n\nAbstract: Multipactor is an electron avalanche occurring when stray electrons are trapped and accelerated by radiofrequency (rf) waves in a vacuum\, hitting walls and ejecting other electrons by secondary electron emission (SEE). The rapid multiplication in the number of electrons ultimately creates noise\, heat and possibly damage in a wide range of environments from space communication systems to accelerators and microwave tubes. Modern design standards use “susceptibility diagrams” for multipactor based on theory developed in the 1950s by Hatch and Williams\, which considers multipactor as a resonant discharge. Observed discrepancies with experiment are accounted for by the addition of arbitrary margins that have no theoretical basis. Modern theories acknowledge that multipactor does not necessarily have a single resonance\, but can exhibit higher periodicity\, or even non-resonant forms. These theories\, however\, rarely depart from the conventional paradigm of presuming a multipactor mode\, then deriving the conditions for that mode\, an exercise that can be exceedingly difficult for more complex trajectories. A novel approach based on the methodology of nonlinear dynamics and chaos is presented\, in which all possible modes are recovered with no a priori assumptions. Thenewmethodologysystematicallyappliesiterativemapstoidentifymultipactingregion boundaries and stability more reliably and comprehensively than existing models. It does so by globally analyzing the structure of dynamical space\, resulting in bifurcation diagrams that summarize all possible multipactor modes over a wide range of parameters. This information is combined with secondary electron emission properties of the surface material to predict multipactor growth rates and identify parameter regions that are multipactor free. Three-dimensional simulations with the WARP PIC code successfully validate the model under more realistic conditions of random emission velocities of secondaries and more realistic rf field profiles.\n\nBio: Rami A.

It has been shown that synaptic modifications by a discrete subset of neurons forms the initial basis of memory storage and leads to subsequent consolidation of those memories. However\, little is known about how neural network dynamics impact memory storage and consolidation. My project focuses on linking the dynamical properties of neural networks to memory formation through analysis of in vivo mouse recordings and computational modeling. In mice\, we have found that tracking fluctuations of functional network stability (FuNS) from pre- to post-memory training can be used to accurately predict consolidation of a fear memory. We observe that mouse neuronal activity resides near a critical point in a phase transition\, a dynamical regime shown to be important computational feature of neural networks. Through modeling\, we investigated the link between near-critical dynamics and subsequent formation and consolidation of memory. We observed an increase in FuNS only near a dynamical phase transition in a spiking neuron model\, supporting the hypothesis that critical dynamics are important for memory consolidation. Further\, we found that new memories can only be stored near a phase transition in an attractor neural network. In both cases\, we observe long-range correlations increases in FuNS due to the introduction of a memory\, indicating that the full network is participating in information processing. Taken together\, these results indicate that critical dynamics provide a necessary substrate for systems consolidation of memory.

The project asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nThere will be a public reception to celebrate the opening of this exhibition on Thursday\, October 5 at 5:00pm in the college gallery.
