SUMMARY:Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
DESCRIPTION: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?\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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Cut Ups: Paper Collage
DESCRIPTION: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.

DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION: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.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Possession\, pop-up exhibition by Jaye Schlesinger
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reverberations of Rebellion: 1967 in Detroit and Ann Arbor
DESCRIPTION: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. \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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Waiting for the Extraordinary installation by Mark Dion
DESCRIPTION: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.\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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION: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.\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

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.

She will end with a reflection on the process of writing a novel for young readers from the perspective of a Jewish-Cuban girl.\n\nThis is the third in a six-lecture series. The subject is Cuba: Our Neighbor in Transition. The next lecture in this series will be October 12\, 2017. The title is The Folkloric Music of Cuba-Clave is the Key!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION: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.\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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION: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.\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. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION: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.\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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\nThis 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\,\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. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis 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.\n\nLead 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Thursday Lecture Series | Exploring Classical Mokuhanga Printmaking Using Laser-engraving and Bit-map Data
DESCRIPTION:Endi Poskovic's creative practice in printmaking considers a range of technologies of reproduction as a way to explore certain characteristics of graphic image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his visual work\, Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of exile\, memory and reconciliation. \n    \nFor many years\, Poskovic produced his multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing mostly traditional hand-carving to produce large scale mokuhanga prints. In recent years\, Poskovic has expanded his practice to use both established and non-traditional methods\, combing classical Japanese carving with laser engraving-printing from bit-map data files. For this presentation\, Poskovic will discuss his \"Dream Series\" of color woodcut prints and the research conducted at the Mokuhanga Innovation Lab in Tokyo. He will share the results of his research into new technologies and how they intersect with traditional methods\, as well as present mokuhanga tools\, washi paper\, finished woodcut prints\, and other works in progress. \n    \nEndi 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\, the Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others. Poskovic is Professor of Art and Design at the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reinventing Normal: Technologies for Empowerment
DESCRIPTION:All of us have things we are good at things we’d like to do but they are hard for us for whatever reason. The idea of “disability” carries with it the idea of what cannot be done. How is technology changing that? How is technology changing the idea of what we can or can’t do?  This presentation features a panel of experts from the University of Michigan addressing ways in which technologies are empowering individuals in their lives\, changing the idea of what is a disability\, and literally reinventing normal.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Teach Out Series- Fake News\, Facts\, and Alternative Facts
DESCRIPTION:How can you distinguish credible information from “fake news”? 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding
DESCRIPTION:On view from September 8-October 14\, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Vital Signs for a New America
DESCRIPTION:On view from September 8-October 14\, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:BME PhD Defense: Hong Zhou
DESCRIPTION:Department of Biomedical Engineering Final Oral Examination\n \nHong Zhou\n \nBioengineering the in vitro ovarian follicle environment\n \nFollicles are the functional units of the ovary and are composed of a germ cell (the oocyte) and layers of somatic cells (granulosa and theca cells). The ovaries contain a limited number of immature follicles. Serving as the ovarian reserve\, follicles have the potential to develop and produce mature oocytes capable of fertilization in a highly regulated process called folliculogenesis. Chemo- and radiation therapies used as cancer treatments can have unintended effects on patients such as detrimental effects on the non-replenishable ovarian reserve\, resulting premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and/or infertility. Clinically established fertility preservation methods\, such as egg and embryo cryopreservation\, are no applicable to all patients. This gap has motivated the development of new strategies to produce mature oocytes to restore fertility at a later date. Among the emerging technologies\, in vitro ovarian follicle growth (IVFG) systems represent great translational potentials to harvest fertilizable eggs regardless of patients’ age or hormone stimulation. Isolated single follicles can be cultured in two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) systems. Specifically among 3D methods\, encapsulated in vitro follicle growth (eIVFG) systems have been developed to mimic the native 3D physiological environment of the ovaries by maintaining a spherical morphology and the cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions between the oocyte and somatic cells of the follicle.\n \nTo better understand and more accurately reflect various signals (growth factors\, hormones\, extracellular matrixes\, mechanics\, etc.) in the culture environment\, we investigated multiple aspects of the eIVFG environment to provide guiding principles to facilitate the development of alternative fertility preservation options. We first started with secondary follicles that can autonomously grow in vitro and examined the effects of xenobiotics on developing follicles in vitro. This knowledge not only complemented our current understanding of the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs and environmental toxicants. More importantly\, the application of such a high-throughput eIVFG system together with its dynamic culture environment provides a faster and cheaper alternative toxicity evaluation method compared to traditional animal models. Next\, we examined the interactions between small\, early stage (late primary and early secondary) follicles and supporting stromal cells. By allowing such interactions in our novel biomimetic matrix\, we were able to harvest mature\, fertilizable oocytes from small follicles. Additionally\, by using supporting cells derived in a patient-specific way\, this synthetic and xeno-free matrix represents great translational potentials for clinical application. Lastly\, we examined the paracrine cues present in various culture environments by monitoring the dynamic activities of specific transcription factors (TFs) in real time. By the first time ever lentiviral transduction of the follicles\, we delivered specific TF reporters. By quantifying bioluminescence intensity from the reporters\, we investigated the underlying mechanism that results in a number-dependent manner of folliculogenesis. Additionally\, this technique can serve as a powerful tool to probe potential TFs on a large scale. By quantifying in real time the dynamic activities of specific TFs\, this technique can provide insightful knowledge to the causation between TF activities and phenotypical changes.\n \nIn conclusion\, by examining multiple aspects of the in vitro ovarian follicle environment\, this dissertation provides new understanding of the bioengineering principles in numerous in vitro follicle culture applications and in the field of reproductive biology more broadly. By providing novel solutions to ongoing clinical issues\, the research described in this dissertation reveals a translational opportunity for combining biomaterials technology and the field of reproductive biology.\n \nDate:               Thursday\, October 5\, 2017\nTime:               1:00 PM\nLocation           1690 Beyster\nChair:              Ariella Shikanov

SUMMARY:Presentation:From Backward to Forward: Intensive Curriculum and L2 Proficiency Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:As global demands for ever-higher proficiency outcomes continue to rise\, and local resources for domestic instruction diminish\, language educators strive to create environments and curricula that can produce proficient students within economic and pedagogical constraints. Drawing on the experience of the National Language Flagship model and research in intensive instruction\, this paper presents a model of instruction that incorporates standards-based reverse curricular design\, flipped classroom\, and a multi-tiered instruction/assessment plan that attempts to address issues of time/budgetary constraints and proficiency. Examples of in-class and out-of-class materials will be provided\, as well as samples of student outcomes from this kind of curriculum.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Series - Routine Hypersonic Flight – The Final Frontier of Aeronautics
DESCRIPTION:Efforts to develop technologies enabling hypersonic flight have been ongoing since the late 1940’s. During this time substantial advancements have been made in hypersonic propulsion systems such as scramjets\, high-temperature structural materials and thermal protection systems\, and advanced vehicle design methods and tools. Taken together\, these advancing technologies are moving mankind ever closer to achieving routine hypersonic flight\, which will enable dramatically faster military missions and global transportation\, and substantially more affordable space transportation.\n\nThis presentation will address the key technical aspects and challenges of hypersonic vehicle design\, and will summarize progress made in maturing technologies critical to the development of practical hypersonic systems. The successful X-51A flight test program will be highlighted. The presentation will conclude by describing a vision for hypersonics.\n\n\nAbout the speaker...\nDr. Kevin G. Bowcutt is a Boeing Senior Technical Fellow and Chief Scientist of Hypersonics for The Boeing Company\, with 35 years of experience. He is an AIAA Fellow\, a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society\, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He holds BS\, MS and PhD degrees in aerospace engineering from the University of Maryland. Dr. Bowcutt is an internationally recognized expert in hypersonic aerodynamics\, propulsion integration\, and vehicle design and optimization. Notable accomplishments include developing the viscous-optimized waverider\, originating the concept and optimizing the design of the X-51A scramjet-powered vehicle\, working on the Space Shuttle Columbia accident investigation simulating wing aero-thermal-structural failure\, designing the HIFiRE 4 flight test vehicle\, and giving a TEDx talk on hypersonics. Dr. Bowcutt leads Boeing’s efforts to design advanced hypersonic missiles\, airplanes\, and space-plane concepts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Eating and not dying: How herbivores deal with plant toxins
DESCRIPTION:At every meal\, animals that consume plants are faced with the prospect of being poisoned by naturally occurring toxins\, i.e.\, plant secondary compounds\, in plants.  Little experimental work exists on the mechanisms that mammals employ to deal with plant toxins or how some species such as the koala or Stephen’s woodrat are capable of specializing on plants that contain high concentrations of toxins. To address this topic\, we have been taking a “pharm-ecological” approach that integrates techniques and tools from various disciplines including ecology\, behavior\, genomics and biochemistry. We have discovered some of the surprising ways in which herbivores cope with toxic diets such as behavioral manipulation\, symbioses with gut microbes\, and liver enzymes with unexpected biochemical properties. I will highlight some recent results from my lab group in this presentation.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/v8VKSSDlJtY

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Immigration\, Religion and Race in the U.S. and Europe - Politics in an era of populism
DESCRIPTION:Immigration has been an important topic in elections in Europe since the rise of the Front National in France in the 1980s. In the last year the far right has seen mixed results\, but immigration has played an important role for populist politicians on both sides of the Atlantic. In Europe\, Islamic terrorism and the refugee issue has played a key role in raising the salience of the immigration issue. In the U.S.\, undocumented immigration from Latin America and the spread of immigrants to new regions of the country has also raised the salience of the issue. Using evidence from previous research\, including research examining the importance of the salience of the immigration issue\, Professor Givens will examine the connection between immigration\, religion and race and the rise of populist politicians in the U.S. and Europe.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bill McKibben\, \"Down to the Wire: A Hot Fight in a Hot World\" (16th Peter M. Wege Foundation Lecture on Sustainability)
DESCRIPTION:Bill McKibben\, an author and environmentalist who in 2014 was awarded the Right Livelihood Prize\, sometimes called the \"alternative Nobel.\" His 1989 book The End of Nature is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change\, and has appeared in 24 languages\; he’s gone on to write a dozen more books. He is a founder of 350.org\, the first planet-wide\, grassroots climate change movement\, which has organized twenty  thousand rallies around the world in every country save North Korea\, spearheaded the resistance to the Keystone Pipeline\, and launched the fast-growing fossil fuel divestment movement.  \n\nThe Schumann Distinguished Scholar in Environmental Studies at Middlebury College and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, he was the 2013 winner of the Gandhi Prize and the Thomas Merton Prize\, and holds honorary degrees from 18 colleges and universities. Foreign Policy named him to their inaugural list of the world’s 100 most important global thinkers\, and the Boston Globe said he was “probably America’s most important environmentalist.”   \n\nA former staff writer for the New Yorker\, he writes frequently for a wide variety of publications around the world\, including the New York Review of Books\,National Geographic\, and Rolling Stone. He lives in the mountains above Lake Champlain with his wife\, the writer Sue Halpern\, where he spends as much time as possible outdoors . In 2014\, biologists honored him by naming a new species of woodland gnat—Megophthalmidia mckibbeni—in his honor.\n\nBill McKibben is the featured presenter of the School for Environment and Sustainability's 16th Peter M. Wege Foundation Lecture on Sustainability.\n\nThis program is presented in partnership with MC²: Michigan & the Climate Crisis in conjunction with the Bicentennial LSA Theme Semester with support from: Science for the People\, Office of the Provost\; School for Environment and Sustainability\; College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; Bicentennial Office\; College of Engineering\, Rackham School for Graduate Studies\; Center for the Study of Complex Systems\; Center for Sustainable Systems\; Institute for the Humanities\; Ross School of Business\; Joseph A.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Christo: The Floating Piers and Work in Progress
DESCRIPTION:Christo is a sculptor known for co-creating large scale ephemeral works worldwide with his longtime artistic partner and wife\, Jeanne-Claude (1935-2009). Over the span of his 60-year career\, Christo and Jeanne-Claude have created many public works involving the exterior wrapping of buildings\, museums\, and public spaces in canvas\, tarp\, and other materials. Oil barrels have also featured prominently in the couple’s work\, selected for their “sculptural effect and low cost.” Their most recent U.S. project\, The Gates (completed in 2005)\, featured 7\,503 rectangular arches draped in saffron fabric across New York City’s Central Park. While many speculate on the specific meaning of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s work\, throughout their career\, the artists have shunned the idea that their creative work seeks to convey deeper meanings\, insisting that they create work to evoke a purely visceral emotional response using visual aesthetic. However\, Christo speaks of the public locations of their installations in decidedly democratic terms. “Nobody can buy our projects. Nobody can sell tickets to experience our projects. Freedom is the enemy of possession and possession is equal to permanence. That is why our projects cannot remain and must go away forever. Our projects are ‘once in a lifetime’ and ‘once upon a time.’”\n\nThis program is presented in partnership with the University of Michigan Museum of Art on the occasion of the UMMA exhibition Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors — Part II: Abstraction\, with additional support from the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.\n\nAll Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series presentations are free and open to the public\; visit http://stamps.umich.edu/stamps to view upcoming events.
