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.

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:43032-9696893@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:20171009T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\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\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

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.

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:42127-9560441@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:42280-9593358@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:20171022T180044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T235959 SUMMARY:Other:CWPA Big Ten Championship DESCRIPTION:CWPA Big Ten Championship at Iowa University UID:45849-10381401@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45849 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Campus Wellness and Recreation Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170925T144329 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T150000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Genomics & Antibiotic Resistance: a new paradigm DESCRIPTION:Antibiotic resistant bacteria are a threat to modern medical practice. Antibiotics save us from life-threatening infections\, and are used extensively to prevent or heal infections stemming from medical interventions\, including surgery\, chemotherapy and organ transplantation. While it is fairly straightforward to identify bacteria resistant to therapy\, until the availability of genomics it was extremely difficult to trace the emergence and spread of specific mechanisms of resistance. At the October 20\, 2017 MAC-EPID symposium we will learn how genomics has transformed our understanding of the spread of antibiotic resistance and the spatial spread of pathogens.\n\nThis FREE partial-day symposium includes lunch so PLEASE REGISTER.

Such drift may be caused by large persistent disturbances (e.g.\, wind gusts) or when the control authority is limited (e.g.\, underactuated systems). In other systems\, similar drift is caused by finite resources (fuel\, energy\, component life\, etc.) being continuously depleted. This dissertation advances theory and methods for designing control algorithms that maximize the time or\, in general\, a yield function before a given system violates prescribed constraints. Such problems are referred to as drift counteraction optimal control (DCOC) problems since the controller may be viewed as counteracting drift in order to delay constraint violation. Both deterministic and stochastic settings of the DCOC problem are considered and new theoretical results are derived\, including properties of the objective function\, conditions under which a solution to the DCOC problem exists\, and characteristics of a solution. In addition\, new algorithms based on dynamic programming\, approximate dynamic programming\, and model predictive control are developed to solve the DCOC problem. Several engineering applications of DCOC are proposed with a focus on spacecraft control and driving policies for autonomous vehicles\, where the effectiveness of the developed approaches is demonstrated in numerical case studies.\n\nDissertation Committee:\nChair: Prof. Ilya V.

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.

The Cost of Uplift: Filipino Labor and Exploitation in American Colonial Schools and Prisons DESCRIPTION:By the 1910s\, the United States had firmly established state-run institutions to carryout its brand of colonialism in the Philippines\, “benevolent assimilation.” The new colonial state promised to uplift Filipinos and bring modernity\, industrialization\, and wealth. However\, an examination of labor in colonial state-run industrial schools and prisons and specifically in the sector of embroidery production\, one of the most profitable exports\, reveals a troubling story of racialized and gendered exploitation. These institutions appeared as exemplars of reform and the uplift\, granting Filipino women and girls the education and skills to participate in an advancing and industrializing society. In actuality\, prisons and schools provided a controlled environment where educating “pupil workers” and women prisoners became a way to create a vulnerable and exploitable workforce for the profit of the colonial state and American investors. By linking embroidery and labor to colonial education and prison systems\, this paper questions the “benefits” of American colonialism and explores the hidden cost of uplift.

The main factors detected were: lack of tool or unsuitable tool (in 21% of all events)\, improper (inadequate) layout (18%)\, operation standards did not fulfil ergonomics requirements (17%)\, awkward body position (16%)\, adverse floor (15%)\, overload linked to the task (10%)\, unsuitable procedure to move or convey material (10%)\, unsuitable access\, stairs\, ladders and ramps (9%) and high intensity efforts (8%). The identification of ergonomics-related causes in the origin of typical work-related accidents highlights the companies’ strong necessity to implement ergonomic actions in their safety programs. A significant improvement in accident indicators may be obtained when the investigation process not only detects human failures\, but also asks whether the worker’s condition to do the job could be different from that one existing when the accident occurred. The ergonomic factor showed in this research (41%) is highly significant and it can be stated that it should be a priority as important as the investments in the safety culture.\n\nBio: Hudson Couto – Occupational Physician\, PhD\, Professor of Physiology and Ergonomics at Medical School\, Consultancy in Ergonomics and Safety in Brazil\, author of 15 books.\nDennis Couto – Automation and Control Engineer\, Ergonomics Specialist\, co-author of the book A New Vision on Work Accidents Prevention- The Ergonomic Factor (in Portuguese) UID:45748-10273916@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45748 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion LOCATION:Industrial and Operations Engineering Building - G699 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170818T161608 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T121500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T131500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Stressed!

Pisanello\, Adrian Stokes\, and the Image of the Threshold DESCRIPTION:In his mind-bending early essay\, “Pisanello” (1930)\, Adrian Stokes laid the groundwork for the project that claimed the “Quattro Cento” as the period that contained the beating heart of humanist culture. Central to the essay is an elaborate ekphrasis loosely evoking the arch fresco that Pisanello painted circa 1438 in Church of Sant’Anastasia in Verona. In constructing his own image Stokes both stages a passage and holds it in suspension\, as a threshold. My paper explores the potential of Stokes’ threshold as a means of formulating a critical position capable of engaging the unruly\, sometimes disturbing aspects of Pisanello’s art\, those aspects that the central discourses of modernist art history found difficult to accommodate.

This paper asks whether there are \"moral\" norms that act as such constraints. I will argue that the recent attempts to demonstrate that there are have been unsuccessful\, but I will also try to construct the best case I can for the existence of such a moral norm.\n\nThose who believe that morality has a bearing on aesthetic judgments about nature take one of two tacks. The first appeals to the idea that morally bad states of nature detract from their aesthetic value. Call this idea \"interaction.\" The other tack is that certain aesthetic judgments manifest disrespect for nature\, which makes them defective or inappropriate\, while others manifest respect making them more appropriate. Call this idea \"respect for nature.\"\n\nI will first explain why constraints on aesthetic judgment play such central role in environmental aesthetics. I will then consider each of the two approaches to justifying the claim that there are moral constraints on such judgments\, and in each case show that there has not been successful arguments for a moral norm that bears on aesthetic judgments. I will then use elements from each approach to make a case for the existence of such moral norms. I will argue that there are at least two reasonable competing moral norms that bear on our aesthetic judgments about nature\, and in general\, it is permissible to adopt either one in the face of degraded natural environments.

A long run sender (a public health authority or central bank\, for example) periodically makes cheap talk announcements related to private information it obtains. Under ideal observational conditions\, implicit enforcement mechanisms can perform as well as legal enforcement. Under more realistic conditions the sender’s best equilibrium payoff may be highly inefficient relative to what he achieves with legal commitment. However\, an institution should be able to build a reputation for using information in particular ways. Modeling reputation explicitly\, in the tradition of Kreps\, Milgrom\, Roberts and Wilson (1982)\, restores efficiency if the institution is sufficiently patient. A dynamic version of the standard Bayesian persuasion example illustrates those effects: the nature of reputational dynamics in perfect Bayesian equilibrium is studied\, and the speed of convergence to maximal payoffs (as the sender’s impatience vanishes) is explored. A general existence theorem for PBE in the model with reputational types is established using a modification of the APS algorithm.

In addition to obscuring the night sky\, the destruction of the natural nocturnal environment disrupts the behavior of countless species\, triggering biological abnormalities and seriously impacting the health of many populations\, including our own. Light pollution is a waste of energy\, generated simply by human thoughtlessness and poor planning. Although meant to improve public safety\, many lighting systems actually compromise safety. Light pollution is easy to address by good planning and public awareness\, and at low financial cost. There is already substantial awareness of light pollution in Michigan\, where dark skies are a recognized commodity.

One of dynein’s conserved essential regulators is Lis1\, a gene that is mutated in the brain developmental disease lissencephaly. Previous studies have shown that Lis1 regulates dynein by anchoring it to microtubules. Here we made the unexpected discovery that Lis1 can also act in an opposing manner to stimulate dynein to release from microtubules. Our work describes the molecular basis for these two mechanisms of Lis1 regulation. Using a combination of cryo-electron microscopy structural analysis and in vitro single molecule-assays we show that dynein’s nucleotide state dictates which mode of regulation Lis1 uses. Based on these mechanistic insights we propose a new model for the cell biological regulation of dynein by Lis1.

This paper explores\, for the first time\, the procession of instruments in a previously unknown Japanese 12m-long hand scroll that has been attributed to Kanō Tōun Masunobu (1625-1694)\, the Chōsen shisetsu gyōretsu zukan\, and the disguised musical activity in one of Hokusai’s (1760-1849) ‘100 Views of Mount Fuji’ woodblock prints. Neither depiction has to date been referenced by Korean musicologists. Both celebrate the extraordinary rather than the everyday: they date from a period when Korea’s relations with Japan were tightly controlled—over a 200-year period\, Korea dispatched just 10 envoys to Japan\, each following a regular\, seasonal path. The hand scroll juxtaposes Japanese samurai and Korean musicians\, while the second\, where\, a decidedly secular party replaces any martial overtones\, dispenses with formality. To the Japanese artists\, difference was tempered by their knowledge of Japanese musical practice\, while Korean scholars examining the existing iconography (including tomb paintings)\, bring difference into alignment with a Korea-centered history.
