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.

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:43032-9696912@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:20171108T135108 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171108T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171108T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:WORLD LEADERS pop-up exhibition by Chanel Von Habsburg-Lothringen DESCRIPTION:An installation of new work by U-M alumna Chanel Habsburg-Lothringen whose work addresses the American notion of aspiration\, mortality\, and persona.

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:42280-9593377@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:20171018T120542 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171108T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171108T100000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Staff Climate Survey Information Session DESCRIPTION:Presentation of data from staff climate survey.

Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

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.

I will talk about two observational probes of such particles. The first is based on “stellar cooling”: if new particles are produced in the hot cores of stars\, they can escape from the star and carry away energy\, affecting its structure and evolution. I’ll describe how the plasma environment in stellar cores can parametrically alter the rates for these process\, and how this can significantly change the constraints and discovery potential for some new particle candidates.\n\nI will also discuss searches for light vectors at colliders. Unless these couple to a fully conserved SM current\, the production rate for longitudinal modes is enhanced by (energy / vector mass)^2. This is true even if the current is only broken at loop level\, as for anomalous vectors\, and can result in significantly improved constraints on many models of phenomenological interest.

Current research on \"Active Matter\" studies collective behaviors of large groups of self-driven entities (living or artificial)\, whose random motions superficially resemble thermally fluctuating particles. However\, the absence of time reversal symmetry leads to unusual phenomena such as directed (ratchet) forces\, and a pressure that depends on the shape and structure of the confining wall. \n\nSome manifestations of QED fluctuations out of thermal equilibrium are well-known\, as in the Stefan-Boltzmann laws of radiation pressure and heat transfer. These laws\, however\, acquire non-trivial twists in the near-field regime of sub-micron separations\, and in the proximity of moving surfaces. I will discuss dissipation in moving steady states\, and the non-Gaussian fluctuations of a particle in a quantum bath.\n\n UID:42553-9611966@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42553 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171108T181529 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171108T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171108T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Fragment Based Approach to Lactate Dehydrogenase A (LDHA) Inhibitors DESCRIPTION: \n \n \n \n \nBeth Knapp-Reed (GlaxoSmithKline) UID:46523-10526986@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46523 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171102T095311 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171108T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171108T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Writing History Through Photography: Kojong's Funeral of 1919 DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Department of Asian Languages & Cultures.\n\nThis presentation looks into Kojong’s funeral in 1919\, which became a backdrop for the March First Movement. While thousands of people took to the streets in display of modern public awareness and in demand of national independence\, the event took place alongside the carefully-orchestrated funeral procession of the late king Kojong by the Japanese colonial government. This presentation asks how the funeral was re-staged as a modern spectacle and how it was subsequently narrated through photography (and cinema). At the crux of my analysis are the ways in which an age-old monarchical pageantry became an instrument for the narrative strategy of modern history. When a funeral procession was the dead’s journey to a holy place\, making the place of the dead relevant in history through the sacrialization by ritual\, the eternality of history was turned into the virtual\, memory\, and nostalgia by photography. I compare this photographic narrative to Ûigwe (The Records of Rites and Ceremonies) of the Chosôn dynasty\, and discuss how the depiction of ritual -- repetitive and ephemeral -- became the singularity of event in the freeze frame of photography and in the linear narrative of panoramic cinema. \n \nSe-Mi Oh is an Assistant Professor of Modern Korean History in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures.

Puar brings her pathbreaking work on the liberal state\, sexuality\, and biopolitics to bear on our understanding of disability. Drawing on a stunning array of theoretical and methodological frameworks\, Puar uses the concept of “debility”—bodily injury and social exclusion brought on by economic and political factors—to disrupt the category of disability. She shows how debility\, disability\, and capacity together constitute an assemblage that states use to control populations. Puar's analysis culminates in an interrogation of Israel's policies toward Palestine\, in which she outlines how Israel brings Palestinians into biopolitical being by designating them available for injury. Supplementing its right to kill with what Puar calls the right to maim\, the Israeli state relies on liberal frameworks of disability to obscure and enable the mass debilitation of Palestinian bodies. Tracing disability's interaction with debility and capacity\, Puar offers a brilliant rethinking of Foucauldian biopolitics while showing how disability functions at the intersection of imperialism and racialized capital.\n\nPresented by IRWG's Colonialism\, Race & Sexualities Initiative (CRSI) with support from Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Department of English\, the Doing Queer Studies Now Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop\, Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies\, the Department of American Culture\, the UM Initiative on Disability Studies\, Disability Studies Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop\, the Department of Women's Studies\, and the Critical Ethnic and Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies Workshop.\n\nJasbir K.

This approach ensures the beginning of the treatment on time and thus avoids the cancellation of treatment sessions.\n\nBio: Antoine Legrain has a Bachelor of Engineering and a Ph.D. from Polytechnique Montreal. He is currently working as a Postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Professor Pascal Van Hentenryck on the RITMO project. His thesis tackles online stochastic resource allocation problems.

This Polish climber’s visionary approach has resulted in many renowned ascents\, including what has been dubbed the “climb of the century”\, an unrepeated alpine-style ascent of the Shining Wall on the West Face of Gasherbrum IV. Of greater interest than simply the stunning execution of climbs of unsurpassed difficulty\, however\, has always been Kurtyka’s approach to alpinism. While Kurtyka embraced the physical and athletic side of climbing\, he was equally fascinated with the cerebral experience: the constant decision making\, problem solving\, and strategizing that it demanded. Even more important to Kurtyka was the aesthetic aspect of alpinism\, which\, on some ascents\, approached a spiritual level. In Kurtyka’s words: “Beauty is the door to another world. Alpinism is the art of freedom. It offers a creative relationship with the mountain.” In this lecture\, McDonald will discuss her role in bringing this multidimensional individual to the page. Her job remained that of communicating the full scope of the person under discussion\, as well as challenging the reader to be affected in some way by the complexity of a very conflicted\, yet visionary alpinist. McDonald will also show how although not a traditional approach to mountaineering literature\, Art of Freedom offers a window into the world of alpinism\, as practised by the most accomplished and thoughtful of its artists. \n\nBernadette McDonald is the author of several books on mountaineering and mountain culture\, including her most recent Art of Freedom (Rocky Mountain Books\, 2017)\, which has been short-listed for two prestigious awards and is slated for publication in ten languages. A previous title\, Freedom Climbers\, the story of Poland’s golden age of Himalayan climbing\, has been awarded six literary prizes\, including the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature and the Banff Mountain Book Festival Grand Prize. She was awarded Italy’s ITAS Prize for mountain writing and is a three-time winner of India’s Kekoo Naoroji Award for Mountain Literature. In 2011\, the American Alpine Club awarded her their highest honour for excellence in mountain literature. She was the founding Vice President of Mountain Culture at The Banff Centre and director of the Banff Mountain Festivals for 20 years. She has received the Alberta Order of Excellence\, the Summit of Excellence Award from The Banff Centre\, the King Albert Award for international leadership in the field of mountain culture and environment\, and the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal. She is also an honorary member of both the Polish Mountaineering Association and India’s Himalayan Club. She lectures and consults for universities\, museums\, festivals and cultural institutions around the world\, and currently serves on the international advisory committee for National Geographic’s Expedition Council. Her discretionary time is spent in the mountains: climbing\, ski touring and hiking.

Technologies of war and violence\, such as drones and nuclear weapons/energy\, for instance\, also possess many peacetime functions. Humanitarianism similarly blurs the lines between war and peace\, given that humanitarian initiatives may not only respond to situations of war but may aim to forestall it–sometimes through preemptive military actions. With the rise of unconventional and robotic warfare\, too\, the \"front\" becomes a hybrid of fighting and governance\, raising pointed questions as to the future boundaries between civilian and soldier. The three panels comprising this symposium explore these and many other timely issues.\n\nHelen Benedict is a professor of journalism at Columbia University. She is a novelist and journalist specializing in social injustice and the effects of war on soldiers and civilians. Her most recent writings have focused on women soldiers\, military sexual assault\, and Iraqi refugees\, and she is credited with breaking the story about the epidemic of sexual assault of military women serving in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Her work on these subjects include her new novel\, \"Wolf Season\,\" (Bellevue\, 2017)\, her previous novel “Sand Queen” (Soho Press\, 2011) and her non-fiction book\, \"The Lonely Soldier: The Private War of Women Serving in Iraq\,\" (Beacon Press\, 2009)\, which won her the Ida B. Wells Award for Bravery in Journalism in 2013.\n\nRobert Donia is an American historian who studies the human rights movement and the history of Southeast Europe. He served in the US Army from 1969 to 1972 with deployments to Germany\, Korea\, and Vietnam. He received his PhD in history from the University of Michigan in 1976 and has since authored or edited seven books in his fields of study\, most recently a work about the war and war crimes in Bosnia (1992-1995)\, Radovan Karadžić: Architect of the Bosnian Genocide (Cambridge University Press\, 2014). He has been called as an expert witness to testify in fifteen war crimes trials at the International Criminal Tribunal at The Hague. He lives in Ann Arbor with his wife Jane and more cats than allowed by city code.\n\nIan Fishback is a PhD student in Philosophy at the University of Michigan. His research interests are political and moral philosophy\, moral psychology\, conflict studies\, the law of armed conflict\, and criminal law. He is writing a dissertation on the relationship between the morality and law with respect to two principles: proportionality and necessity. Ian has a BS from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Prior to transitioning to academia\, he served as an officer in the paratroopers and Special Forces from 2001-2010\, including four combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. He also served as a philosophy instructor at West Point from 2012-2015. TIME magazine named Ian one of the 100 most influential people in the world for his role in reforming detainee treatment standards in the US military from 2005 to 2006.\n\nDavid Scott received his BS from the University of Michigan in 1970 and his MD from the University of Minnesota in 1974. He practiced Internal medicine in Minneapolis until 2008. In 1987 Dr. Scott joined the Navy Reserve where he served with the Marine Corps 4th Medical Battalion until his retirement in 2008. He was officer in charge of the Minneapolis detachment and became an authority on cold weather operations and participated in numerous winter exercises in Alaska\, Iceland\, and Norway. In 2003\, he was mobilized for the start of the Iraq War and served at several facilities in Kuwait and Iraq. \nDr. Scott returned to Ann Arbor in 2008 and in 2013 received a BA degree in History from the University of Michigan. He is employed by the Ann Arbor VA Health System and is the author of the novel Short Season.\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester event is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

Walk-ins are welcome. Pre-registration is optional but helps with organizers' planning.\n\nIn honor of the University-wide DEI Student Summit\, LSA will work with students to design strategic models to inform the College for year two of our plan. Interested students are invited to join us for a “hack” session to respond to\, critique and improve six concrete initiatives to achieve diversity-related goals. \n\nSign up for one – or more – hacks and then join us on November 8th for hands-on sessions. You'll work with peers to revise\, comment on\, or totally revamp these initiatives.\n\nDean Martin and other LSA representatives will be available to answer questions and chat starting at 6:30 p.m. Ready to challenge yourself and hack the LSA Strategic Plan?\n_________________________________\n\nHack #1\nTrain the Trainer: Building Inclusive Classrooms\nChallenge/Opportunity: LSA has over 1\,200 faculty members and over 3\,000 classes per term. Our plan is tailored to this reality. Create an online DEI training module for the faculty\; incentivize them to use it.\n\nHack #2\nTrain your Peers: The 30 for 80 Model\nChallenge/Opportunity: The 30 largest courses on campus reach close to 80% of the undergrad population. Create a flexible module for implicit bias training for use in these classes.\n\nHack #3\nChallenge/Opportunity: We assessed the degree requirement and are continuing to implement changes\, but we want more students to be involved. Help us to rethink the \"Student Advisory Board\" model\; and create a user driven (aka student-centered\, peer-to-peer) map of R&E courses to guide new LSA students in understanding the requirement and selecting courses.\n\nHack #4\nDialogue and Ideological Diversity: The Democracy in Action Model \nChallenge/Opportunity: We increasingly live inside of ideological echo chambers and struggle to talk across differences. Hack the design of The Democracy in Action Fund. \n\nHack #5\nShift Campus Climate: Forming a Critical Mass \nChallenge/Opportunity: It’s a big campus! LSA has over 17\,500 undergraduates\; not all of them are equally engaged. You probably can’t reach everyone. The key\, we think\, is creating critical mass. Hack the design of the LSA Inclusive Campus Corp.\n\nHack #6\noptiMize Transfer Students: Building Bridges to U-M\nChallenge/Opportunity: LSA has committed to increasing the number of transfer students to 1\,200-1\,300 per year. We want a major percentage from community colleges. We want to build “transfer bridges.” Hack the plan to use co-curricular orgs like optiMize to create them.\n\nQuestions?
