SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Under Covers: Encaustic & Mixed Media
DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

SUMMARY:Presentation:Climate of Capitulation: An Insider’s Account of State Power in a Coal Nation
DESCRIPTION:About the lecture: \nVivian Thomson will offer an insider’s account of how power is wielded in environmental policy making at the state level. Drawing on her experience as a former member of Virginia’s State Air Pollution Control Board\, she narrates cases in Alexandria\, Wise\, and Roda that involved coal and air pollution. She identifies a “climate of capitulation” —a deeply rooted favoritism toward coal and electric utilities in state air pollution policies. Thomson links Virginia’s climate of capitulation with campaign finance patterns\, a state legislature that depends on outsiders for information and bill drafting\, and a political culture that tends toward inertia. She extends her analysis to fifteen other coal states and recommends reforms aimed at mitigating ingrained biases toward coal and electric utility interests. \nVivian E. Thomson writes and teaches about environmental policy and politics. She joined the University of Virginia faculty in 1997\, where she was Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences and the Department of Politics. She directed\, and helped to design\, the popular\, selective BA program in Environmental Thought and Practice. Professor Thomson retired from teaching and program administration in July 2017. Her work is now entirely oriented toward research\, guest lectures\, and writing.\n\nProfessor Thomson’s research\, lecturing\, and grants have taken her to Denmark\, where she was a Fulbright Professor\, to Panama\, as Director of UVA’s Panama Initiative\, to Germany\, where she was a DAAD visiting scholar\, to Brazil\, where she has ongoing collaborations with colleagues at the University of São Paulo and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro\, and to Italy. Her language skills include Brazilian Portuguese\, German\, and Spanish. Professor Thomson has also worked as a senior policy analyst and manager at the US EPA.\n\nSince 2009 she has published three sole-authored books. The latest is Climate of Capitulation: An Insider’s Account of State Power in a Coal Nation (MIT Press\, April 2017)\, a rare policymaker’s inside story that is based in part on Professor Thomson’s many years as member and vice chair of the Virginia State Air Pollution Control Board. Climate of Capitulation provides insights into the expression of power in state air pollution policymaking\, through first person\, policy participant case studies and analysis that generalizes those cases to fifteen other states. Readers and reviewers have called Climate of Capitulation a no-holds-barred exposé\, a must-read\, a page-turner\, and insightful\, provocative\, vivid\, and persuasive.\n\nSponsored by: University of Michigan Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\n\nCo-Sponsors: University of Michigan Program in the Environment (PitE)\; University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS)\; University of Michigan Environmental Law & Policy Program (ELPP)\; University of Michigan Energy Institute\; University of Michigan Graham Sustainability Institute\n\nFor more information visit www.closup.umich.edu or call 734-647-4091.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Why Are We Sending Innocent People to Prison?
DESCRIPTION:The discovery of DNA has not only made it possible to convict the guilty\, it has also resulted in discovering the awful errors of our criminal justice system. Almost 1\,800 people serving time in prison have been exonerated – they are in fact innocent of the crime. \n\nWho are they and how did this happen? Last year alone five people were exonerated while waiting on death row to be executed. \n\nThis 90 minute lecture for those 50 and above by the Hon. Donald E. Shelton\, who directs the Criminology and Criminal Justice Program at UM-Dearborn\, explores how these innocent people ended up in prison and what changes need to be made to prevent such miscarriages of justice in the future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gloss: Modeling Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on the prominent role of women as the subject of photography\, GLOSS: Modeling Beauty explores the shifting ideals of female beauty that pervade European and American visual culture from the 1920s to today. The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin.

And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Transparency: The Neglected Question in Science and Values
DESCRIPTION:The recent philosophical literature on science and values has focused primarily on questions about whether non-epistemic values can play legitimate roles in scientific reasoning and\, if so\, how to distinguish influences that are legitimate from those that are illegitimate. This paper argues that the question of how to achieve adequate transparency about the influences of non-epistemic values deserves much more attention. First\, the paper argues that transparency is crucial for responding to an important ethical worry about non-epistemic influences on science—namely\, that they threaten principles of democratic accountability and individual self-determination. Second\, it shows that achieving adequate transparency about the influences of non-epistemic values is much more difficult than it initially appears. Finally\, it proposes an overarching strategy for achieving greater transparency\, focusing on the identification of specific value judgments that are of particular significance to stakeholders. It concludes by highlighting the wide range of institutions and initiatives needed for implementing this strategy and by identifying a number of questions that merit further discussion.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. From Land to Sea: Reconceptualizing Southeastern Europe as a Region
DESCRIPTION:This talk asks how insights drawn from the oceanic or watery turn may help us rethink the Balkans\, an area often conceptualized in highly terrestrialized ways. How\, for example\, might thinking with water challenge scholarly understandings about the predominance of the national idea in the modern era\, as well as the image of Central and Southeast European empires as contiguous\, continental entities? In addressing these questions\, the speaker draws upon nearly two decades of field research in and on the Adriatic Sea. In particular\, her discussion centers on a key case study: the mass migration or “exodus” from Istria\, a peninsula in the northeastern Adriatic Sea which passed from Italian to Yugoslav control after a protracted territorial dispute in the decade after World War II. The predominant (if contested) narrative of this migration depicts it in terms of longstanding Italian-Slavic ethnic enmity. Such an interpretation largely attributes the reasons for the Istrian exodus to a history of violence seen as particularly “Balkan.” Ironically\, however\, even while this reading of events in post-1945 Istria privileges the lens of a regional (Adriatic) history of ethnic conflict\, the growing historiography on this topic pays little attention to either actual seaspace or perspectives associated with the oceanic turn. In offering a series of suggestions for how to anchor histories of the modern Adriatic in both the lived seascape and oceanic concepts (such as taking scholarship both “offshore” and “alongshore”)\, the speaker also investigates the limits of such seaborne thinking for our understanding of Southeastern Europe. \n\nPamela Ballinger is Fred Cuny Professor of the History of Human Rights and associate professor of history at the University of Michigan. She holds degrees in anthropology (B.A. Stanford University\, M.Phil Cambridge University\, M.A. Johns Hopkins University) and a joint Ph.D. in anthropology and history (Johns Hopkins University). She is the author of \"History in Exile: Memory and Identity at the Borders of the Balkans\" (Princeton University Press\, 2003). She has published on topics such as refugees\, displacement\, ethnic cleansing\, human rights\, and the Adriatic seascape in journals that include \"Comparative Studies in Society and History\,\" \"Contemporary European History\,\" \"Current Anthropology\,\" \"History and Memory\,\" \"Journal of Modern Italian Studies\,\" \"New Global Studies\,\" and \"Past and Present.\"

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminars |  Searching for Dark Matter in Distant Galaxies
DESCRIPTION:Galaxies beyond our own represent some of the brightest potential sources of dark matter flux on the sky. As such they represent excellent candidates for indirect detection and in this talk I will demonstrate how to exploit this information to search for dark matter using the Fermi telescope. In particular I will outline how to map from an observed baryonic galaxy to its underlying dark matter distribution and a demonstration that our methods work in a simulated N-body environment.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Examining engineering concepts in practice:      Is conceptual understanding relevant to practice?
DESCRIPTION:Concepts are ubiquitous in engineering education in many forms. Engineering educators have developed multiple concept inventories that are widely used to assess student learning and frequently have discussions about the importance of knowing the concepts. Academic artifacts such as textbooks are normally organized around engineering concepts. Although there is comfort in utilizing concepts as the organizing framework for engineering education\, substantial evidence from multiple perspectives suggests that it may not be optimal for student learning or for preparation for engineering practice. Concepts at their core definition imply a sanitized transferable entity\, that transcends context. However\, theoretical perspectives of situated cognition suggest that concepts may not be the fundamental organizing schema for practitioners. Rather\, project constraints and contexts may be an alternative lens for how engineers organize their knowledge. This research implemented two methodologies to examine the role of concepts in engineering practice\, gathering concept inventory responses from practicing civil engineers\, and studying the use of concepts in the design of a roundabout. Students perform better than practicing engineers on statics\, fluid mechanics\, and mechanics of materials concept inventory questions. Concepts in engineering practice related to roundabout design do not have static abstracted representations\, but are continuously negotiated\, abstracted\, and represented in multiple forms. The explicit and implicit organization of concepts in engineering education may not be ideal for learning or preparation for the engineering workplace.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:22nd Annual U-M Department of Psychiatry Waggoner Lecture on Ethics & Values in Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Bridgette Ann Carr\, J.D.\, B.A. will give the U-M Department of Psychiatry’s 22nd Annual Raymond W. Waggoner Lecture on Ethics & Values in Medicine. Carr will give a talk focused on human trafficking victims and the advancement of comprehensive domestic and international anti-trafficking policies. This lecture will be held on Wednesday\, November 1 at 4:00 p.m. at Ford Auditorium in University Hospital.\n\nProfessor Carr’s work focuses on driving paradigm shifts in the way human trafficking victimization is perceived and addressed\, and helping reintegrate victims by developing legal solutions that address the complex issues of coercion and victimization around compelled service and its aftermath.\n\nAs the founding director of the U-M Law School’s Human Trafficking Clinic (the first clinical law program solely devoted to addressing this issue comprehensively)\, Professor Carr\, her colleagues\, and a new generation of trainees have provided free legal services to victims since 2009\, supporting the wide-ranging needs of men\, women\, and children\, both foreign nationals and U.S. citizens\, who have been victimized by a range of trafficking crimes.\n\nUsing the U-M clinic as a model\, Professor Carr is working with university partners around the world to develop similar programs to combat human trafficking and train law students\, and has helped establish university law clinics in Mexico\, Ethiopia\, and Brazil to broaden the network of legal experts who can address the issues of compelled service that transcend international borders. She is the lead author of the first casebook on human trafficking law and policy\, which examines the cross-section of criminal justice\, civil and human rights\, immigration\, and international law that frames these issues.\n\nThe University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry established the Raymond W. Waggoner Lectureship on Ethics and Values in Medicine in 1996.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Blazing a Trail: Towards Imaging Super-Earth from the Ground and Space
DESCRIPTION:The discovery and characterization of extrasolar planets has been data-driven: clearly there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophies.  As the demographics of the myriad diverse systems becomes known\, we begin to piece together the larger story of their formation and evolution. Ultimately\, we seek to understand the prospects for life elsewhere in the Universe. In addition to this scientific quest\, 'exploration' also plays a role. In particular\, the nearest star systems provide an opportunity to explore in detail strange new worlds. The recent announcement of a planet < 10 Mearth in the liquid-water zone of Proxima Centari sent shock waves through the community. What is the nature of this planetary system found in our own galactic backyard? Could it be habitable? How will we know and when?  Here we will review recent progress in imaging planets from the ground\,  contributions the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope will make in imaging sub-Saturns (perhaps with habitable moons) at larger orbital radii\, and complementary work to be done by next generation Extremely Large Telescopes in thermal emission as well as NASA's WFIRST-AFTA in reflected light\, which will enable us to image terrestrial planets around the nearest stars by the end of the next decade.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Threat of Falling High Status and Corporate Bribery: Evidence from the Revealed Accounting Records of Two South Korean Presidents
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Ross School of Business\n\nSocial status and its dynamics may be an important predictor of which firms will engage in large-scale bribery. Prior theory is incomplete\, however\, and prior empirical studies have lacked comprehensive and reliable data on firm-level bribery decisions. We offer a new theoretical prediction and a novel data set on high-level corruption in South Korea\, where the accounting records of two presidents in the 1987–1992 era were exposed to after-the-fact legal and public scrutiny. We find that\, controlling for a range of alternative explanations\, the threat of falling high status—that is\, the combination of longstanding high social status with current-period mediocre economic performance relative to that of industry peers—is a significant predictor of increases in the amount of large-scale corporate bribery.\n\nJordan Siegel is an Associate Professor of Strategy and Michael R. and Mary Kay Hallman Faculty Fellow at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Professor Siegel is also a Research Fellow at the William Davidson Institute and an Associate-in-Research at the Harvard Korea Institute of the Harvard Asia Center.\n\nProfessor Siegel specializes in the study of how companies gain competitive advantage through their global strategy. Professor Siegel finds that there are numerous opportunities for companies to attain superior sustainable corporate performance through creative strategies for corporate governance and human resource management.

SUMMARY:Other:RNA structure heterogeneity
DESCRIPTION:RNA is unique among all biomolecules as it can be both information-storing and enzymatic. These features are tightly linked to its structure\, in which base-pairing interactions give rise to a highly folded macromolecule. Indeed\, in addition to the genetic code\, which specifies the composition of proteins\, we now know there is a secondary layer of information encoded in every transcript in the form of RNA structure that can regulate processes as diverse as splicing\, localization\, and translation efficiency. Our lab has developed approaches to probe RNA structure at single molecule and single nucleotide level\, which are capable of detecting alternative RNA structures forming from the same underlying sequence. Application of these approaches to Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) reveals HIV-1 genomic RNA structure heterogeneity with novel functional implications. \n                        \nSilvia Rouskin (MIT Whitehead Institute)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 Seminar: William J. Cook\, University of Waterloo
DESCRIPTION:Title: The traveling salesman problem with road distances\n\nNOTE: This seminar will not be recorded by request of the speaker\n\nAbstract: Following Dantzig\, Fulkerson\, and Johnson\, we show that a certain tour of 49\,603 sites in the US is shortest possible\, measuring distance with point-to-point routes obtained from Google Maps. We highlight a cost-refinement technique that allows the cutting-plane method to generate lower bounds on the tour length without explicit knowledge of the full distance matrix. The talk is based on joint work with Daniel Espinoza\, Marcos Goycoolea\, and Keld Helsgaun.
