What makes a university public? What should it look like? Whom should it serve? Who should have access to its resources\, and where should those resources come from?\n\nThis exhibit explores how students\, faculty\, staff\, politicians\, and citizens have attempted to answer these questions. These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696897@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:20171024T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T230000 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.

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:42280-9593362@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:20171001T105837 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: PRACTICE SESSION #5 DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on view October 23 -27\n\"Practice Sessions\" is part of the University of Michigan's \"Third Century Initiative\,\" which funds experimental pedagogies in a bid to change how teaching and learning happen within the bounds of the institution. Over a five-year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition. These sessions are not workshops in the conventional sense. Invited practices are not selected to repeat a known and routinized working method in collaboration with students. Instead\, invitees are called to work in an experimental mode\, where everything is subject to the pressures of practice on design: the design of the session topic\, the design of the work space where the session is held\, the design of the way the session itself occupies the institution of Taubman College\, and the design of the thing(s) produced by the practice session.\nPractice Session #5 Opening lecture is on Friday\, October 20\, featuring Débora Mesa and Antón García-Abril\;\nThe workshop runs from October 21-22.

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.

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.

As UM celebrates its Bicentennial year\, this exhibition asked how past traditions\, tensions\, and technologies left material or cultural traces on campus space today. By juxtaposing rarely examined aspects of the historical university and radical designs for an unrealized present\, “Persistent Pasts” prompted visitors to question entrenched conceptions of what UM should and could be\, architecturally and institutionally. This talk revisits the experience of designing and teaching this course as an opportunity to think critically about two principle questions with ramifications for both humanists and architects. First\, what particular skills\, tools\, and techniques do architects bring to both the processes and objects of archival research? And second\, what are the implications of teaching a design-build course with a public-facing\, museological final project? We will also discuss ongoing efforts to create an afterlife for the exhibition as an immersive digital humanities project\, interrogating the possibilities and challenges of translating a predominantly physical exhibition into an exclusively digital setting.

Hou is also a finalist in the Linguistic Society of America's Five-Minute Linguist competition.\n\nWhen looks count: the function and distribution of LOOK-AT in American Sign Language\nLynn Hou (UCSD)\n\nIn this paper\, I analyze the function and distribution of the ASL verb look-at in a dataset of 14h 15m of naturalistic ASL\, using a construction-theoretic\, usage-based approach. The data come from videos posted on the Internet\, grouped into three genres: face-to-face conversations\, monologues\, and news reportage from an ASL radio show\, The Daily Moth.\n\nThe dataset yielded 800 tokens of look-at. There is much morpho-phonological variation among look-at tokens. I coded tokens both for their lexico-grammatical function (‘look at’\, ‘observe’\, ‘look down on’\, etc.) and for their phonetic properties (handshape\, use of one or two hands\, path movement\, repetition\, English mouthing\, type of facial expressions).\n\nTokens with path movement patterns are often two-handed\, and are typically associated with physical acts of looking at a referent or the state of affairs\; they also map onto cognitive states such as admiration\, contempt\, anticipation\, and retrospection. Many look-at tokens occur with reduced path movement or without path movement altogether\; these signs appear in contexts relating to the signer’s subjective experience\, whether understanding\, thinking about\, or reacting to a situation. These subjective verbs are often accompanied by affective facial expressions\, are prototypically one-handed\, and are often signed with the thumb abducted.\n\nMany tokens of subjective look-at are followed by another cognitive verb such as the reaction sign oh-i-see and feel or a clausal complement analogous to subordinating BE- like [“and I was like?”] in colloquial English. I propose this variant of look-at has been grammaticalized from a perception verb to a cognition verb. This is reflected not only in its specialized semantics and distribution. i.e.\, introduces clausal complements with affective facial expressions\, but also in its reduced form\, i.e.\, no path movement\, thumb abducted\, one-handed. This finding is in line with the robust tendency for phonetic reduction and semantic shift to differentially affect high-frequency words.

When Barbour first traveled throughout Asia\, he met several women who had studied at the University of Michigan and then returned home to aid their countries’ development. Barbour wanted to provide the same opportunity for more women\, who frequently faced obstacles to advancement in their home countries\, to receive a western education. The Barbour Scholarship has survived through a highly dynamic century that has seen dramatic changes in the relationships between the United States and the home countries of many Barbour Scholars\, the rise of globalism\, and incredible innovations across many fields of study. Join us for a conversation amongst Barbour Scholars whose experiences span decades and fields of study. Please email rackham.alums@umich.edu with questions or for more information. \n\nBarbour alumnae and current Scholars will participate in a panel to share their experiences traveling across the globe to earn a University of Michigan education. Participants will include Dr. Meera Sampath (Electrical Engineering)\, Dr. Heasook Rhee (Music Performance)\, and Dr. Wing Li (Mathematics). Current student participants will include Amrita Dhar (English Language and Literature) and Niloufar Emami (Architecture)\, both of whom are doctoral candidates These women will provide a small snapshot of the realization of Levi Barbour's vision of opportunity and a truly global experience.\n\nThe panel precedes a networking event for current Barbour Scholars and alumnae.\n\nIf you are interested in attending\, please register here: myumi.ch/6xPz9 UID:41552-9358897@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/41552 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Asia,Bicentennial,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Rackham,umich200 LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Fourth Floor Amphitheatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171024T182234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Controlling Electronic Structure and Correlations in Artificial Quantum Materials DESCRIPTION:Our ability to control the electronic structure of materials\, for instance at semiconductor interfaces\, has had enormous scientific and technological implications. Recently\, this concept has been extended to materials which possess inherently strong quantum many-body interactions\, such as strongly correlated transition metal oxides\, allowing us to synthesize artificial heterostructures which can harbor novel electronic or magnetic properties. The ability to deterministically manipulate the strength of electron correlations or the electronic band structure will be critical to designing new materials with novel properties. I will describe some examples of our recent work in thin films of nickelates (LaNiO3) and ruthenates (the odd-parity superconductor Sr2RuO4)\, and how we have used both epitaxial strain as well as dimensional confinement in atomically thin films to control the strength of electronic correlations\, the electronic band structure\, the Fermi surface topology\, and drive a metal-insulator transition. These new insights could someday enable deterministic control over the emergent properties of quantum materials. \n UID:42189-9584877@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42189 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171016T141636 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop with Emilie Diouf (Brandeis University) DESCRIPTION:With the best of intentions governmental and nongovernmental humanitarian advocacy groups assemble and collect stories of suffering in order to inform their claims for restoration. They collect trauma narratives for the purpose of supporting their interventions into nations and communities. But they also collect and disseminate these stories to acquire funding and political capital in order to promote their own institutional security even as they promote human dignity in their practices (James 2004). As a result of advocacy against HIV/AIDS\, Female Genital Mutilation\, and armed conflict in particular\, African women’s stories of trauma have often been interpreted and showcased as evidence of extreme gender based abuses in the global rights discourse. How do we ethically empathize with the suffering of women across nations and cultures whose gendering processes are different and who are racialized\, remains an exegetical question for both feminist and trauma studies as well as humanitarian work and policies. I suggest that cross-cultural solidarity can only happen if there is a willingness to ethically translate African women’s traumatic experiences. I argue that ethical translation of pain takes into consideration the intersubjective dimension of trauma narration and considers the cultural\, social\, and political locations of African women as well as the subjects who bear witness to their testimonies.

Atlantic History Initiative - Antiracism in Cuba: The Unfinished Revolution DESCRIPTION:How do racism and antiracism coexist? How do we fight against racism in a racist world? What are the lessons learned from the 1959 Cuban Revolution? Analyzing the ideology and rhetoric around race in Cuba and south Florida during the early years of the Cuban revolution\, Dr. Devyn Spence Benson answers these questions in her book Antiracism in Cuba: The Unfinished Revolution. She examines how ideas\, stereotypes\, and discriminatory practices relating to racial difference persisted despite major efforts by the Cuban state to generate social equality. This talk examines 1960s government programs and campaigns against discrimination\, showing how such programs frequently negated their efforts by reproducing racist images and idioms in revolutionary propaganda\, cartoons\, and school materials. \n \nDr. Devyn Spence Benson is an Assistant Professor of Africana and Latin American Studies at Davidson College. She is a historian of 19th-20th century Latin America with a focus on race and revolution in Cuba. She is the author of published articles and reviews in the Hispanic American Historical Review\, Journal of Cuban Studies\, Journal of Transnational American Studies\, and PALARA: Publication of the Afro-Latin / American Research Association. Benson's book\, Antiracism in Cuba: The Unfinished Revolution (UNC Press\, 2016) is based on over 18 months of field research in Cuba where she has traveled annually since 2003.

A minority opinion even goes so far as to claim that the androgynus is sui generis. But does this definition\, or even the Tosefta’s attempt at creating a halakhic framework for the androgynus\, constitute “providing a means for integrating the androgynus into mainstream culture?” This lecture explores the question\, “does the category of androgynus as defined by Tosefta Bikkurim offer us a new look at gender\, or does it\, once again\, confine us to a binary system of male and female?” This will be explored through an examination of the halakhic status of the androgynus\, as well as through a literary reading of the text itself.\n\nImage: © Sharon Gershoni\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

S. Eliot\, D. H. Lawrence\, E. M. Forster and the Year That Changed Literature\, published by Henry Holt on August 15\, 2017.\n\nWilla Cather wrote in 1936\, \"The world broke in two in 1922 or thereabouts.\" The publication of James Joyce's UIysses in February and T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land in October quickly gave 1922 a privileged place in the history of literary modernism. But for Woolf\, Eliot\, Lawrence and Forster\, the literary apocalypse of 1922 had less to do with publication dates than with the personal and creative challenges explored in this talk.\n\nAt the start of the year\, each was a writer in deep despair about an uncertain creative future. By the end of the year each had done work that transformed them as writers: Woolf had written \"Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street\,\" the story that grew into the novel Mrs. Dalloway\; Forster had made his first substantial progress in nearly a decade on the novel that would become A Passage to India\; Lawrence wrote his most experimental and autobiographical novel Kangaroo\; and Eliot had completed and published The Waste Land -- though the drama of the year for him had less to do with the poem's appearance than with how close he had come to not finishing it or having it published at all. Key to what these writers wrote is what they read\, in particular Joyce's Ulysses\, but even more crucially\, Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu\, a substantial -- and immediate -- influence on Woolf and Forster that The World Broke in Two delineates for the first time.\n\nGoldstein will discuss\, among other issues\, how the specters of Ulysses\, In Search of Lost Time and The Waste Land itself shaped Woolf's ideas of form and structure\; why the seizure of Lawrence's Women in Love by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice in July 1922 led to a landmark legal decision prefiguring the decision in the Ulysses case a decade later\; and how\, most significantly\, the lingering impact of World War One on English life is reflected in the work this quartet of writers did in 1922.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan Library\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, the U-M Department of English Language and Literature\, the Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshops on Critical Contemporary Studies and Pre-Professional Humanists\, and Literati Bookstore.

At the root of this problem lie the dual issues of limited fossil fuel supplies and rising CO2 levels\, both of which threaten severe ecological damage. On a more pragmatic note\, however\, our entire society has been built around facile access to liquid fuels. Thus\, any solution to this predicament requires an end product that can be easily assimilated into the current infrastructure.\n\nIn contrast to anthropogenic methods\, nature has evolved diverse systems to carry out energy conversion reactions. Many\, including metalloenzymes such as hydrogenase\, carbon monoxide dehydrogenase\, and acetyl coenzyme A synthase\, can reversibly generate and oxidize small-molecule fuels such as hydrogen and CO. These processes are implicated in chemoautotrophic origins of life and play a key role in the metabolisms of ancient bacteria and archaea. However\, while these enzymes are highly functional within their native environment\, most are costly to isolate\, sensitive to external conditions\, and generally poorly suited for large-scale application. Additionally\, the multimetallic active sites and auxiliary cofactors obscure distinguishing spectroscopic features and render detailed analyses challenging. As a result\, the molecular mechanisms of catalysis remain relatively poorly understood\, thwarting efforts to build biomimetic synthetic systems that act with the efficacy of native enzymes. \n\nWe have approached this problem from a metalloprotein engineering perspective. Azurin and rubredoxin are two of the most well studied proteins within the bioinorganic community. Both are robust platforms\, known for their unique spectroscopic features and representative coordination geometries. By introducing non-native metals and redesigning the primary and secondary coordination spheres\, we have been able to install novel activity into these simple electron transfer proteins. Recent results will be presented demonstrating catalytic hydrogen evolution\, carbon dioxide fixation\, and carbon monoxide activation in these repurposed bioinorganic scaffolds. Optical\, vibrational\, and magnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques have been used in conjunction with density functional theory calculations to probe the active-site structures across different states\, with the intent of characterizing the catalytic mechanisms. These findings will be discussed in the context of identifying the fundamental principles underlying highly active native enzymes and applying those principles towards engineering effective model metalloproteins for energy conversion reactions. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nHannah Shafaat (Ohio State University) UID:40107-8470407@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40107 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CHEM CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170927T080701 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Boren Awards Information Session DESCRIPTION:Boren Awards provide undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships to study a wide range of critical languages in world areas underrepresented in study abroad to those committed to public service. \n\nJoin U-M campus representatives as they discuss opportunities\, and review the awards and application process.

The present talk uses them to determine the range of strategies used in the social construction of urban territoriality. Analysis is based on texts written by local Gentile authors\, Czech and German\, but also on nostalgic descriptions by Jewish authors who were actually born in the Jewish Town. Based on this\, a contrast between insiders and outsiders\, or participation and observation\, can be worked out. Other perspectives revolve around the concept of the border and its subversion.\n\nThe event will start at 6:30pm with a light supper followed by the presentation at 7pm.
