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:43032-9696879@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:20171006T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T210000 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:42127-9560427@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:42280-9593344@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:20171006T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T170000 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.

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 objectives in this annual activity are to raise consciousness about and reinforce the animal-human bond with the intent of making the academic\, hospital\, and surrounding local community feel comfortable with and appreciative of therapy and service dogs and their various roles in helping human beings. In addition\, for the past ten years\, we have Invited various service and therapy dog organizations (e.g.\, Paws with a Cause: Canine Companions\; Leader Dogs\, Therapaws\, etc.) to come to campus in October\, to interact with members of the community\, especially students and hospital patients\, all of which is a wonderful learning experience for our campus and surrounding community. We established several venues for dog viewing (and patting) around campus and in the hospital. We also fielded questions as well as offers from individuals to enroll their own pets in the therapy dog program or to foster and socialize puppies until they were old enough to undergo training as service dogs. Conclusions: By presenting positive\, detailed information about the training and ultimate helpfulness of various types of service and therapy dogs and by providing \"hands-on\" interactions with these canines\, we have promoted the idea of bonding between dogs and people\, both emotionally and as valuable assistants to individuals with disabilities.

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.

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.

However\, the safety issues of riding a bicycle on roadways with mixed traffic have been a major concern. This work investigates how drivers overtake bicyclists using real-world objective data from a recent large-scale naturalistic driving study. Over 4\,800 verified overtaking events were examined. The initial results show how the drivers' lateral maneuver of the vehicle during the overtaking was affected by a range of factors including the types of lane markings\, traffic\, bike lane\, and whether the driver was distracted by an electronic device. This work provides objective data that could be potentially used to support the designs of better road infrastructures\, safety technologies\, and laws and regulations that aim to improve the safety of all road users.\n\nBio: Fred Feng is a research fellow at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI). Dr. Feng joined the UMTRI Human Factors group after completing his Ph.D. in the IOE department at the University of Michigan under the supervision of Dr. Yili Liu. Dr. Feng's research interests include human-machine interactions and human performance modeling with the applications on driver behaviors and the safety of vulnerable road users.

Setting a research vision\, budgets and funding\, building the lab\, recruiting students\, guiding and growing them\, and keeping the whole ship running… it wasn't mostly teaching the way I thought it was. If those were the things I was going to do anyways\, I decided to do them in the business world and shipped myself off to Silicon Valley. I'll talk to you about what it’s like being a physicist in the business world\, and what I've learned along my random walk. I'll go deeper on people management as the critical skill to scaling yourself.

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.

While many factors contribute to this variation (e.g.\, sociolinguistic\, physiological)\, there is considerable evidence that acoustic-phonetic variation is highly structured among speech sounds. Structured variation of this type can be observed in the covariation among vowels in the F1xF2 vowel space\, as talkers form relatively congruent\, but shifted vowel spaces (e.g.\, Joos\, 1948\; Nearey\, 1978)\, as well as in the covariation of talker mean voice onset time among aspirated stop consonants (e.g.\, Chodroff & Wilson\, 2017). The presence of covariation reveals constraints on permissible variation in language- and talker-specific sound systems (e.g.\, Liljencrants & Lindblom\, 1972)\, and may be exploited in generalized perceptual adaptation to novel talkers.\n\nIn this talk\, I will examine the predictions of two constraints on phonetic implementation that could give rise to covariation across talkers. The constraints are formalized as target uniformity\, which requires similar (or identical) phonetic realization of a distinctive feature value within a talker\, and contrast uniformity\, which requires a comparable phonetic difference in sounds that contrast in a feature across talkers. Evidence from several case studies of sibilant fricatives implicates target uniformity\, but not contrast uniformity as a constraint on phonetic realization.\n\nI will also discuss the implications of phonetic covariation for perceptual adaptation to novel talkers. Covariation indicates mutual predictability among speech sounds\, such that evidence from one speech sound could be used to infer properties of a second speech sound. I present evidence that perceptual knowledge of phonetic covariation is consistent with many patterns of generalized adaptation\, but general auditory factors (e.g.\, spectral contrast) may have primary influence on short-term adaptation.

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?

A CONQUEST KOINE: The Oral and Written Transmission of Reports on the Islamic Conquest of Duin DESCRIPTION:Commentators: Manan Ahmed (Columbia U) and Matt Mosca (U Washington).\n\nThe earliest extant Arabic histories describing the rise of Islam and the Caliphate date to the ninth century\, some two centuries after the events they purport to describe. This has prompted a strong tendency towards skepticism among historians of early Islam who suggest that perhaps these histories reveal more about ʿAbbasid-era realities than about conquest- or Umayyad-era events. Accordingly\, a number of scholars have turned to non-Arabic sources to corroborate or challenge the data culled from Arabic histories. \n \nThis paper questions the use of non-Arabic sources as independent checks on the Arabic. In particular\, it examines the accounts of the seventh-century Arab conquest of Armenia and specifically Dabīl/Duin\, the Sasanian and caliphal capital of Armenia\, to forward suggestions about how we might trace oral transmission of historical reports in multilingual communities of the medieval Near East.

The breadth of this aggression has received attention not only from academics\, but in popular press\, where it has been widely critiqued as unfortunate consequences of trolling culture. Largely absent from these conversations is the role of gender\, and in particular masculinity\, in sustaining harassment in digital contexts. In this talk\, I examine the connections between masculinity and sociotechnical affordances of computer-mediated communication in men's motivations to gender harass online. I propose that men's endorsement of online gender-based harassment is motivated by attempts to (re)affirm their masculinity following threats that question their manhood. Anonymity afforded by online communication can exacerbate these effects\, since the impression of being anonymous makes it easier to engage in harassment. Technology therefore enables gender harassment to thrive\, yet men's motivations to gender harass are grounded in performances of masculinity and maintenance of gender relations between (and among) women and men.

In my talk I am going to discuss how the lack of water influences physical and chemical weathering processes\, a perspective that helps in understanding surface landforms and soil mineralogy on other waterless and lifeless (?) worlds like Mars. The big surprise for me about the Atacama has been the fundamental role of seismicity\, something that took me years to recognize because of my origins in an aqueous world. We will look at some of the features of this seismic landscape\, including the truly bizarre rolling and rubbing boulder fields. \nChemical weathering patterns are also rather “extraterrestrial” in the Atacama\, and our studies explain why sulfates are abundant and carbonates negligible in the Atacama and on Mars. Because of its aridity and lack of life\, the Atacama missed out on the Great Carbonation Event (GCE) that overtook Earth starting in the early (oceans) to mid- (land) Paleozoic.

Yet the role of adinkra in practices of remembrance extends far beyond funerals. Since at least the early 19th century\, the Akan have printed adinkra cloth with distinct graphic designs evoking multiple meanings related to proverbs\, historical narratives\, and moral beliefs. Joining visual and verbal arts\, adinkra is a dynamic form of communication that oscillates between expressing personal\, cultural\, and national identities. Ghanaians have innovated the form and meaning of adinkra over time to mark changing relationships to the past and envisions of future aspirations.\n\nThis presentation examines how Ghanaians have re-invented adinkra from a precolonial Akan cultural practice to represent national culture. Specifically\, it analyzes the shifting meanings and contexts of gye Nyame\, one of the most popular adinkra symbols. Often translated as “Except God\,” gye Nyame is ubiquitous in Ghana today – ranging from plastic chairs and key chains to churches\, currency notes\, and tourist souvenirs. In tracing one motif across time and space\, this talk reveals how Ghanaians have transformed gye Nyame and revitalized adinkra to resonate deeply in contemporary life.\n\nElizabeth Rauh\, \"The Colored Horizons of Karbala: Rafa Nasiri and Contemporary Printmaking in Late 1960s Iraq\"\n\nThis presentation looks to Rafa Nasiri’s (1940-2013) printmaking practice and its early experimentation with printed Arabic script as the locus from which he stimulated and historicized the contemporary graphic arts movement in Iraq. Although conversant in pan-Arab and international socialist realist strategies from his training in printmaking at the Institute of Fine Arts in Beijing (1958-1963)\, Nasiri’s work in the 1960s offers experiments with global abstract expressionism and local religious prints. The need for educational programs and publications on the arts of Arab printing led Nasiri to travel around Iraq gathering popular printed textiles. Nasiri collected block printed (hafir al-tarsh) black and white calligraphic banners\, which are carried in the streets during ‘Ashura and the holy month of Muharram\, when mass pilgrimage processions overtake Shi‘i Muslim shrines in the cities of Karbala and Najaf. He then cut these popular prints and their pious poetic verses into separate cartouches and adhered them directly onto his abstract works. \n\nDrawing upon communal rituals and public ceremonies moored Nasiri’s contemporary graphic art practice within Iraq’s historic printing technologies and social and religious practices. The collage-print series offered visual venerations of the Battle of Karbala (680 AD) as colorfully abstracted desert landscapes. Nestled within their references to that catastrophic landscape\, the Shi‘i readymade prints associated Nasiri’s works with the ancient battle and its religious performances of dissent against injustice and oppression. By imprinting his compositions with prefabricated calligraphic texts\, Nasiri elicited collective memories of Karbala and created a representational strategy counter to the new Baathist regime’s use of populist imagery. These works thus show how Rafa Nasiri marshaled Iraq’s historic printing technologies and social traditions to depict popular expressions of the metaphoric horizons of Karbala.

One critical step in understanding why hybrid perovskite solar cells work so well is to determine the influence of defects on photon to current conversion process. I will present the advance in understanding the optoelectronic properties\, unusual defect physics\, and influence of defects on critical properties such as carrier diffusion length\, charge recombination lifetime\, carrier mobility and ion migration of solution processed perovskite materials. The discovery of the extraordinary properties enables new application of halide perovskite in radiation detection beyond solar cells. The recent\n development of X-ray sensors\, imagers\, and gamma-ray spectrum detectors will be presented.\nJinsong Huang received his PhD degree in Material\nScience and Engineering from the University of California-\nLos Angeles in 2007.

For each turn of its catalytic cycle\, cytP450 requires two electrons from its redox partners: Cytochrome P450 Reductase (CPR) and cytochrome b5 (cytb5). We are interested in how these proteins interact with each other specifically in the presence of lipid membrane mimetics and in the presence of various substrates. Here we use NMR spectroscopy and other biophysical tools to characterize the effect membrane has on the interaction between cytb5 and cytochrome c\, a model for cytP450. Our findings reveal the importance of studying these membrane proteins in a biologically relevant membrane mimetic both structurally and kinetically. We have also begun work on understanding how CPR and cytb5 compete for binding to cytP450 and unravelling the structural and dynamic basis for this competition. Our data reveals how substrates can help to modulate the interaction between the two redox partners and cytP450\, starting to define a complete picture of this trio of proteins. \n\nand \n\nBrian Linhares: “Fragment-based identification and optimization of inhibitors targeting BCL6-co-repressor interactions.”\nAbstract: Constitutively overexpressed B-Cell Lymphoma protein 6 (BCL6) is an oncogenic driver in various subtypes of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. In normal B-Cell physiology\, BCL6 governs cell development and regulates affinity antibody maturation\, through mediating the formation of transcription repression complexes. The N-terminal BTB domain of BCL6 (BCL6BTB) is responsible for dimerization and for recruitment of co-repressors\, notably HDAC3-binding partner Silencing Mediator of Retinoic acid and Thyroid hormone (SMRT)\, via the Lateral Groove (LG)\, a unique structural motif of the BCL6-SMRT protein-protein binding interface. This site has therefore been promoted for pharmacological intervention\, yet the development of potent\, selective inhibitors with favorable drug-like properties has largely eluded campaigns to target BCL6. I will report the identification and optimization of a novel inhibitor scaffold of BCL6 BTB. Fragment-based screening identified a hit that binds at the LG\, and structure determination of the fragment hit in complex with BCL6 BTB to high-resolution revealed the binding mode. Guided by the previously determined structure of BCL6BTB-SMRT BCL6 Binding Domain (SMRTBBD)\, structure-based drug design\, in tandem with biophysical approaches\, led an extensive investment in synthetic medicinal chemistry to target an adjacent pocket at the LG that is also occupied in BCL6BTB-SMRTBBD. Exploring substitutions to more fully occupy this pocket yielded small-molecule inhibitors with mid-micromolar affinity for BCL6BTB\, which represents a 100-fold improvement in potency from the hit. As an inhibitor scaffold\, our compounds may hold potential as chemical probes\, and in scaffold hopping to aid in further inhibitor development UID:42543-10152993@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biophysics,Chemistry LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170131T114502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T180000 SUMMARY:Community Service:SLE at Friends of the Campus Farm Workday DESCRIPTION:Join other Oxford and SLE residents for farmwork in the Greenhouse with Friends of the Campus Farm at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.

We have developed a catalytic enantioselective allylic amination of unactivated alkenes via a [2\,3]-rearrangement. In this method\, a diimido-sulfur reagent serves as the source of nitrogen\, and it reacts selectively with terminal alkenes through a hetero-ene reaction. The resulting ene adduct undergoes a Pd-catalyzed enantioselective [2\,3]-rearrangement to generate chiral amines in high enantiomeric excess. Our approach is conceptually distinct from other enantioselective allylic amination strategies. The synthetic utility of our process is being explored by converting simple and inexpensive terminal alkenes into functional materials\, such as the pharmaceutical drugs. Based on this chemistry\, we have developed a copper-catalyzed enantioselective allylic alkylation of unactivated alkenes to generate internal alkenes with high regioselectivity and E-selectivity. We have also discovered regioselective and diastereoselective aminoarylations and aminothiolations of 1\,3-dienes. These results represent a general strategy for functionalizing unsaturated hydrocarbons with aromatic\, aliphatic\, and vinyl Grignard reagents. As an extension of our approach to the catalytic allylic functionalization of unactivated terminal alkenes\, we recently pursued the more challenging problem of catalytic asymmetric allylic functionalization of internal alkenes. We have developed an enantioselective\, regioselective\, and E/Z selective allylic oxidation of unactivated internal alkenes via a catalytic asymmetric hetero-ene reaction with an imido-sulfur oxidant. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nUttam Tambar (UT Southwestern Medical Center) UID:41303-9097455@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/41303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171006T143338 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Harlow Whittemore Lecture DESCRIPTION:This year's Harlow Whittemore Lecture features Chelina Odbert\, co-founder and executive director of Kounkuey Design Initiative (KDI)\, and her colleague Joe Mulligan\, and associate director of KDI.\n\nKounkey Design Initiative (KDI) is a non-profit design and community development organization that partners with underserved communities in the US\, Africa\, and Latin America to physically transform communities and in the process\, improve environmental\, economic\, and social quality of life. KDI was started in 2006 and is composed of architects\, engineers\, planners\, and the communities they work with to create productive public spaces and empower the people of those communities to address major physical\, social\, and economical issues they face.\n\nHarlow O. Whittemore (1889-1986) was a nationally recognized leader in landscape architecture and community planning. After receiving his Masters degree in Landscape Design from U-M in 1914\, Harlow joined the landscape architecture faculty the same year\, where he served as a professor and the chairman of the Department of Landscape Architecture and City Planning until his retirement in 1958.

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.

Maggie Lee (Variety) praised the film as being “sprinkled with witty grace notes and crowd-pleasing without being too ingratiating or idiotic.” The Chinese title 乘风破浪 means “Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves.” In this time-traveling crime film\, a son attempts to reconcile with his father while he travels time back to the year 1998\, when his estranged father was young. Some fateful events allow him to experience his father’s life in the past.\n\nSponsored by the Confucius Institute and Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at U-M\, \"Electric Shadows: 2017 Contemporary Chinese Film Series\" will feature six exciting Chinese films released in recent years.\n\nRegister here: https://goo.gl/1WkBaW UID:44794-9980565@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44794 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Film,Food,Free LOCATION:Angell Hall - Auditorium B CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171006T180037 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T203000 SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Karaoke Night DESCRIPTION:Come join us as we attempt to sing UID:45468-10195157@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45468 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:My Friends Place CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171006T180037 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T210000 SUMMARY:Other:Nesbo Movie Night DESCRIPTION:We meet on Friday nights to watch classic movies selected by Ben Gould.
