In honor of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial\, we highlight the U-M Ann Arbor campus\, both before its creation and throughout its continuous evolution. Depicting the Ann Arbor area before the establishment of the city\, the exhibit celebrates the Native American community and highlights its presence throughout the decades.

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. The current exhibit\, Flights of Fancy\, features birds in colorful\, light-filled works. The birds represent the lightness she associates with qualities of joy\, hope\, healing and inspiration she sees as a source of personal well-being.

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:43032-9696877@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:20171004T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171004T210000 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:42127-9560425@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42127 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Bicentennial,Exhibition,History,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

The reality of life is that all teams struggle to perform at their best.\n\nIn our Destination Unstoppable workshop\, we’ll focus on three things to help overcome the obstacles to success so that your teams achieve their goals!\n\n1.

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:42280-9593342@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:20170510T144424 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171004T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171004T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos DESCRIPTION: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. \n\nLook 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.\n\nFor information on-the-go about this event and all other Bicentennial happenings\, download our free mobile app: http://guidebook.com/g/umich200.

First\, Scott Allard will give a talk about the rise of suburban poverty. Then\, there will be a Poverty Simulation open to all U of M students. The goal of the Poverty Simulation is to begin to understand what it might be like for a typical low-income family to survive from month to month. The simulation framework was carefully developed by the Missouri Community Action Network\, a nationally recognized community-based organization with expertise developing experiential learning models on poverty-related issues.\n\nYou may register for either of the two events separately\, or choose to attend both. Note that Dr. Allard's keynote is open to anyone\, while the Poverty Simulation is open only to U-M students of all levels. Please see the Poverty Simulation Registration page for more details on the specifics of that event. \n\nWhile this exercise does not fully reflect what it is like to live in poverty\, it is designed to give participants specific realistic challenges associated with feeding your family\, paying your bills\, finding employment\, and navigating many more challenges. The goal is to have students reflect and learn ways to take action\, promote justice\, and be an ally to those living in a real state of poverty. Want to know more?

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. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together.

Against the backdrop of worldwide interest in carbon pricing as a way to meet commitments made in Paris\, and in the context of a Trump presidency\, this talk examines the history\, origins and prospects of carbon pricing in Canada. The talk will focus on recent efforts at developing a national carbon price framework at the federal level\, the challenges now facing the current federal government as it moves toward implementation\, and the prospects for carbon pricing in the future. Specific attention will be paid to the role of recalcitrant provinces\, a divided public\, and the influence of political developments in the United States. The talk will also explore key controversies over carbon pricing\, and highlight potential lessons from the Canadian experience.\n\nErick Lachapelle is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the Université de Montréal where he teaches courses on international environmental politics\, comparative public policy and research methods. He received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Toronto where he completed his dissertation entitled\, Energy Security and Climate Change Policy in the OECD: The Political Economy of Carbon Energy Taxation. Author of two dozen peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters\, Erick is the lead researcher for the Canadian Surveys on Energy and the Environment\, and is also a Research Partner with EcoAnalytics.

The Singing Turk: Ottoman Power and Operatic Emotions on the European Stage from the Siege of Vienna to the Age of Napoleon DESCRIPTION:This lecture will consider the huge cultural phenomenon of operas about Turks that played out across the stages of Europe from the 1680s to the 1820s. Though the best-known of these operas\, Mozart's \"Abduction from the Seraglio\,\" is still widely performed\, most of these operas about Turks are unknown today. They include operas by such important composers as Handel\, Rameau\, Gluck\, Haydn\, Mozart\, and Rossini\, as well as many others. The lecture will try to understand this cultural phenomenon in the geopolitical context of European-Ottoman relations and the intellectual context of the Enlightenment\, will address the significance of such operas for Christian-Muslim relations in European history\, and will also consider why these operas featuring singing Turks disappeared from the repertory over the course of the 19th century. \n \nLarry Wolff is the Julius Silver Professor of History\, director of the Center for European and Mediterranean Studies\, and executive director of the Remarque Institute at New York University. His research has focused on the relation between Eastern Europe and Western Europe\, especially pursuing the argument that Eastern Europe was \"invented\" in the 18th century by the philosophers and travelers of the Enlightenment. His latest book is \"The Singing Turk: Ottoman Power and Operatic Emotions on the European Stage from the Siege of Vienna to the Age of Napoleon\" (Stanford 2016). He is also the author of \"Paolina’s Innocence: Child Abuse in Casanova’s Venice\" (2012)\, \"The Idea of Galicia: History and Fantasy in Habsburg Political Culture\" (2010)\, \"Venice and the

First\, we note that the product length of an operator is directly related to its sensitivity to small perturbations. This reveals that in the SYK model\, the commutator-squared/out-of-time-ordered correlator - a new diagnostic of quantum chaos - is literally measuring the effective length of the operator. It is known that this quantity grows exponentially in time with a \"Lyapunov exponent\"\, and thus we conclude that lengths of operators grows exponentially in time (amongst the internal degrees of freedom). Motivated by this\, we group the operators into families defined by their lengths\, thereby explicitly solving for the coarse-grained dynamics of an operator in the large N\, large q limit. We also note that one can understand the time evolution of operators by relating it to the quantum mechanics of a particle on a graph with a nontrivial topology.

Reliable information is at the heart of what makes an effective democracy\, yet many people find it harder to differentiate good journalism from propaganda. Increasingly\, inaccurate information is shared on Facebook and echoed by a growing number of explicitly partisan news outlets. This becomes more problematic because people have a tendency to accept agreeable messages over challenging claims\, even if the former are less objectively credible. In this teach-out\, we examine the processes that generate both accurate and inaccurate news stories\, and that lead people to believe those stories. We then provide a series of tools that ordinary citizens can use to tell fact from fiction.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\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!\n\nFind new opportunities at teach-out.org.

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.

Dr. Wynshaw Boris is a world expert on the study of neurogenetic disease. His talk is entitled “Modeling Human Neurogenetic Diseases in Mice and Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.\"\n\nDr. Wynshaw-Boris received his MD and PhD degrees from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland\, OH. Under the direction of Dr. Richard Hanson\, his thesis research elucidated the mechanism of transcriptional regulation of the key enzyme in gluconeogenesis\, PEPCK. Following a residency in Pediatrics at Cleveland’s Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital\, he obtained a medical genetics fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital and postdoctoral training in mouse models of developmental disorders at Harvard Medical School under the direction of Dr. Philip Leder. As an independent investigator Dr. Wynshaw-Boris has held positions at the National Human Genome Research Institute\, University of California San Diego\, and University of California San Francisco\, before returning to Case to become the Chair of the Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences in 2013.\n\nHis research is focused on understanding genetic and biochemical pathways important for the development and function of the mammalian central nervous system. He uses genetically engineered mice and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to define pathways disrupted in neurologic diseases. He has made important contributions to understanding the genetics and pathophysiology of autism\, brain overgrowth and microcephaly\, and neurodegeneration caused by mutations in DNA repair and checkpoint genes. He has served as Executive Editor of the journal Human Molecular Genetics since 2005\, and together with Charles Epstein and Robert Erickson\, he co-authored a comprehensive book “Inborn Errors of Development” which is now in its third edition.\n\nThe program will begin at 2:00 with 20-minute talks by three senior Genetics Training Program trainees (Irene Park\, Marcella Nidiffer\, and John McCrone).

Highly-automated modern aerospace systems employ flight deck automation to increase the efficiency and safety of systems while reducing operator workload. However\, there is little knowledge about how operators react to control mode transitions in which they take over control from the automation\, particularly the reversion from autopilot to manual control that can occur during safety-critical situations. In the first half of my talk I will present experimental results that show how an operator’s visual attention\, performance\, and cognitive state change when transitioning between autopilot and flight control modes. In the second half of my talk I will discuss how concepts from human-automation interaction can be applied to the study of interactions between engineering students and their instructors. I will present preliminary results from research conducted here at Michigan investigating how flexible classroom spaces\, which have movable tables and chairs that can be rearranged into different layouts\, support better student-student and student-instructor interaction. I will conclude my talk by outlining a vision for future research that leads to evidence-based improvements in undergraduate aerospace engineering education.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nAaron Johnson is a lecturer in the Aerospace Engineering Department and a research fellow in Engineering Education Research at the University of Michigan. He is interested in how students “make sense” of the different elements within their engineering education as they develop into practicing engineers. He is the (unofficial) Co-I of an NSF project currently studying the influence of flexible classroom spaces on teaching and learning. Aaron received his PhD in Humans in Aerospace from MIT in 2015\, where he was a Draper Laboratory Fellow. His PhD research used quantitative analysis of human-in-the-loop experiments and mathematical modeling to investigate changes in an operator’s performance and cognitive state when transitioning between autopilot and manual flight control modes. Aaron’s dissertation was awarded the 2016 Stanley Roscoe Award for Best Doctoral Dissertation from the Aerospace Human Factors Association. Aaron also holds a BSE from the University of Michigan and an MS from MIT\, both in aerospace engineering. Before returning to Michigan in July 2016\, he was a postdoctoral research associate at the Tufts University Center for Engineering Education and Outreach.

Using this framework\, I discuss parameters of interest and provide conditions under which spillover effects can be identified in a randomized experiment. In addition\, I characterize and discuss the causal interpretation of the estimands that are recovered by three specifications that are widely popular in empirical work: a regression of an outcome on a treatment indicator (difference in means)\, a regression of an outcome on a treatment indicator and the proportion of treated neighbors (a reduced-form linear-in-means model) and a regression exploiting variability in treatment assignment probabilities in two-stage designs. Finally\, I provide conditions for uniform consistency and asymptotic Normality of direct and spillover effects estimators with special focus on the effect of potential outcome modeling assumptions and treatment assignment mechanism on inference. I illustrate my findings with data from a randomized conditional cash transfer pilot in Colombia and with a simulation study.\n\nBIO:\nGonzalo Vazquez-Bare is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of Michigan\, where he is also completing the M.A. in Statistics.

We use administrative data from claims to study the past 10 years of the prescription opioid epidemic. \n\nWe find opioid use remains common\, with only modest reductions in prevalence of use from the peak of the epidemic in 2010-2011. Chronic users of opioids consume the majority of all opioids and often take very high doses (more than 100 mg morphine equivalents per day)\, placing them at high risk for adverse outcomes. To understand the risk of of non-users becoming chronic users\, we follow people who were opioid naïve filling their first opioid prescription in the Emergency Department (ED) and in other care settings. Prescriptions written in the ED are more likely to follow best practices for dose and duration of use\, and are associated with a lower risk of chronic opioid use than prescriptions written in other settings.\n\nFinally\, we explore an apparent anomaly in the data—a sudden\, steep decrease in average opioid doses that was caused by the removal of propoxyphene from the market. Despite decades of concern about its safety\, propoxyphene was one of the most popular prescription drugs until it was pulled in late 2010. We describe treatment courses for people using propoxyphene at the time it was discontinued in 2010\, finding large reductions in their opioid use as they were switched to alternative opioids at lower\, safer doses.

The absolute size of price adjustment decreases. We show that these facts are consistent with menu cost models where the fixed cost of adjustment does not scale with product revenue. This dependence introduces a revenue effect where the price of products with higher revenue are more likely to change and are more responsive to monetary shocks. We also document that the mean and variance of the cross-sectional log revenue distribution decreases with unemployment. Together with our earlier findings\, this implies that the real effect of monetary policy is stronger in recessions than expansions. Using a quantitative menu cost model we show that output is more responsive to monetary shocks in low output states than in high output states. Lastly\, we provide empirical evidence of state-dependence in monetary policy transmission.

The Oct. 4 talk featuring David Sarley\, senior program officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation\, also will highlight how graduating students can make a difference in global public health.\n\nSarley’s talk\, “Primary Health Care Supply Chain Challenges and Opportunities\,” will be held at 5 p.m. in Room R2220 at the Ross School of Business. It is free and open to the public.\n\nThe WDI Global Impact Speaker Series features thought leaders and practitioners who do innovative work in low- and middle-income countries. They share their experience\, provoke thought\, and stimulate discussion around the opportunities and challenges of international development.\n\nOver the last five years at the Gates Foundation\, Sarley has created and managed investments across multiple delivery teams tasked with strengthening supply chains\, and recently joined the Innovation and Strategy team in Vaccine Delivery. \n\n“David has a deep understanding of the needs\, opportunities and challenges that many countries face ensuring that their citizens have access to a reliable supply of lifesaving health commodities\,” said Michael Krautmann\, senior research associate with WDI’s Healthcare Initiative\, who has worked with Sarley on Gates-funded projects. “Through his work at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation\, David is at the forefront of technological and organizational solutions to these challenges\, and his talk will be insightful for students\, faculty and all those who are interested in improving global access to medicines.”\n\nWDI has collaborated with the Gates Foundation on several projects\, and Sarley served as program officer on a large healthcare project\, “Developing a Common Vision of Effective and Efficient Global Health Supply Chains\,” that had a number of sub-components.\n\nOne element of the large project was creating executive communications materials to increase global donors’ investment in supply chain\, and convey key supply chain challenges and opportunities in global health. Another part of the project resulted in a WDI report\, “Designing Global Health Supply Chains for the Future\,” that proposed a series of initiatives that governments\, global development agencies\, and those in the private sector should undertake immediately in order to build supply chain capacity to anticipate these increasing demands in the coming decades.\n\nWDI’s engagement with Gates also studied facilitating data-driven supply chain policy decisions by developing a model that incorporates performance tradeoffs and stakeholder priorities into formal cost effectiveness analysis. And\, designing and initializing a supply chain resource center in West Africa that provides direct strategy support to governments to help transform their healthcare.\n\nSarley has nearly 35 years experience in investment and development in emerging markets. He has worked for 15 years in public health supply chain management\, including 10 years with USAID grantee John Snow Inc. (JSI) and five at the Gates Foundation. Prior to JSI\, he worked in economics consultancy for 16 years in trade\, transport\, finance and health economics.
