SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2017 Wilbert Steffy Distinguished Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Tony Cox\nPresident\, Cox Associates\nClinical Professor\, University of Colorado\n\nTitle: Causal Analytics for Risk Management: Making Advanced Analytics More Useful\n	\nOperations research provides powerful methods for choosing feasible values of decision variables to optimize an objective function.  In practice\, however\, how decisions affect the objective function\, and even what decisions are feasible\, are often initially unknown. Managing risks effectively usually requires using available data\, however limited\, to answer the following questions\, and then improve the answers in light of experience:\n\n1. DESCRIPTIVE ANALYTICS: What's happening? What has changed recently? What should we be worrying about?\n2. PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS: What will (probably) happen if we do nothing new?\n3.  CAUSAL ANALYTICS:  What will (probably) happen if we take different actions or implement different policies? How soon are the consequences likely to occur\, and how sure can we be?\n4. PRESCRIPTIVE ANALYTICS: What should we do next? How should we allocate available resources to explore\, evaluate\, and implement different actions or policies in different locations?\n5. EVALUATION ANALYTICS: How well are our risk management policies and decisions working? Are they producing (only) their intended effects? For what conditions or sub-populations do they work or fail?\n6. LEARNING ANALYTICS: How might we do better\, taking into account value of information and opportunities to learn from small trials before scaling up?\n7.  COLLABORATIVE ANALYTICS:  How can we manage uncertain risks more effectively together?\n \nThis talk discusses recent advances in these areas and suggests how to integrate and apply them to important policy questions such as whether\, when\, and how to revise risk management regulations or policies. Current technical methods of risk analytics\, including change point analysis and prescriptive maintenance\, quasi-experimental design and analysis\, causal graph modeling\, Bayesian Networks and influence diagrams\, Granger causality and transfer entropy methods for time series\, causal analysis and modeling\, and deep learning and low-regret learning provide a valuable toolkit for using data to assess and improve the performance of risk management decisions and policies by actively discovering what works best and how to improve over time. \n\nTony Cox is President of Cox Associates\, a Denver-based applied research company specializing in health\, safety\, and environmental risk analysis\; epidemiology\; policy analytics\; data science\; and operations research. Since 1986\, Cox Associates' analysts and scientists have applied epidemiological\, risk analysis\, and operations research models to measurably improve health and environment risk assessment and decision-making for public and private sector clients. In 2006\, Cox Associates was inducted into the Edelman Academy of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS)\, recognizing outstanding real-world achievements in the practice of operations research and the management sciences. In 2012\, Dr. Cox was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering (NAE)\, \"For applications of operations research and risk analysis to significant national problems.\" He has served as a member of the National Academies' Board on Mathematical Sciences and their Applications (BMSA) (2012-2016). In 2013\, he co-founded NextHealth Technologies\, a Denver-based company offering advanced data analytics solutions to healthcare plans to reduce health\, financial\, and member attrition risks.

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: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:Exhibition:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty
DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DQSN: Technosexual Dramas and Sexual Realities
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this theoretical chapter\, I offer a new framework for describing how sexualities come into existence through the everyday labor of biomedical practice across scales in the United States healthcare system. I ask: How do sexualities come into existence as actionable entities or constructs in contemporary U.S. healthcare? How does this complex collection of processes shape the constitution of sexual realities? An interdisciplinary constellation of scholars are often at loggerheads over how to answer these questions. One group in the history\, anthropology\, and sociology of sexuality argues that sexualities emerge and stabilize through relational processes of conceptual uptake and exchange between individuals\, communities\, and institutions. Another cohort\, mostly in queer theory\, argues that sexuality constitutes a kind of radical instability\, with sexual acts and queerness standing in for pure negativity\, wild unknowability\, or utopian transcendence of the knowable. In another vein\, scholars who use constructivist approaches to study science\, technology\, and medicine have developed powerful tools to describe how technoscientific practices mobilize physical materials\, digital tools\, and epistemic frames to produce and sustain realities in conditions where the constitutive elements of those realities actively resist coherence. In an explicit move to break through epistemological blockages in queer studies\, social scientists have recently started to co-deploy methods from sexuality studies and Science and Technology Studies (STS) to describe how biomedical methods produce sexualities as tangible entities with varying degrees of spatial\, temporal\, and disciplinary durability (Race 2016\; Waidzunas and Epstein 2016). My dissertation\, “Making Sex Real\,” contributes to this project by showing how assemblages of human and nonhuman actors translate physical materials\, technologies\, and data into temporarily stable entities that become perceptible and provisionally actionable as sexualities only in specific sociotechnical and epistemic arrangements. Drawing on data from extensive health policy research and over a year of fieldwork with practitioners in HIV/AIDS\, LGBTQ health\, and health information technology (IT) in the United States and metropolitan Atlanta\, I show that\, in health contexts\, sexualities are enacted\, materialized\, or\, “built up and sustained” into a kind of temporary existence in biomedical milieus through processes of technosexual dramatization (Mol 2001: vii-vii\; Barad 1998\, 2007\; Murphy 2006\; Law 2004: 13). Technosexual dramas produce what I call situated sexual realities\, following historian of sexuality Robert Padgug and feminist STS scholar Donna Haraway (1979: 10\; 1991[1988]: 188-96).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Chris Rycroft: The reference map technique for simulating complex materials and multi-body interactions
DESCRIPTION:Conventional computational methods often create a dilemma for fluid-structure interaction problems. Typically\, solids are simulated using a Lagrangian approach with grid that moves with the material\, whereas fluids are simulated using an Eulerian approach with a fixed spatial grid\, requiring some type of interfacial coupling between the two different perspectives. Here\, a fully Eulerian method for simulating structures immersed in a fluid will be presented. By introducing a reference map variable to model finite-deformation constitutive relations in the structures on the same grid as the fluid\, the interfacial coupling problem is highly simplified. The method is particularly well suited for simulating soft\, highly-deformable materials and many-body contact problems\, and several examples from engineering and biology will be presented. This is joint work with Ken Kamrin (MIT).\n\nBio: Chris Rycroft is an Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. From 2010–2013\, he was a Morrey Assistant Professor in the UC Berkeley Mathematics Department\, and he was involved in the Bay Area Physical Sciences-Oncology where he collaborated with several experimental groups at Berkeley and UC San Francisco\, on using computational modeling to understand the role of mechanical forces between cells and their environment.

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. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Fridays at Noon Lecture Series. Unverifiable: A History of Rumor in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:In moments of national peril\, the most pernicious rumors relating to the Thai royal family have gained purchase. I explore several of these moments\, the content and context of the rumors circulating\, and the changing technologies of communication that brought the unverified data to the Thai public. All rumors about royalty and their technologies of distribution have been subject to lese majesté laws: from encoded telegrams and confidential documents in the late 19th century to digital photos\, Facebook posts\, and YouTube videos in the 21st. Ironically\, today this censorship has hampered the government’s ability to gate-keep information and to convincingly establish their authority to distinguish rumor from fact. In other words\, not even the Thai military junta can publicly verify facts or falsehoods about the royal family because it would violate les majesté laws\, which equally criminalize truth and falsehood. The resulting ambiguity about truth has created a crisis of verification that adds another layer of complexity to the fake news\, propaganda\, political rumors\, and Photoshop technology that has created epistemic vertigo around the globe today.

TheTech industry always interested me\, so I decided to move up to Silicon Valley and accept a job at Yelp in San Francisco. Sales at Yelp was grand (like any first job out of college!)\, but I loved it because it taught me that hard work drove results and I was ultimately responsible for my own success. I was able to leverage my experience at Yelp to land another salesrole at Google\, where I managed top end-client and agency relationships\, ranging from e-commerce retailers to brand-focused agencies. I learned aton from my experience at Google\, including gaining exposure to many different types of clients and industries\, learning how to sell to senior executives and close bigger deals\, and figuring out which cafe had the bestfood.\"\n\n\nJarrett says\, \"I’m a Director of Banking here at Quicken so I run a team of 14 bankers\, specifically for clients looking to buy a house (instead of refinance their current) and we work with clients primarily through our online chat platform.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 836 Seminar Series: Mark S. Redfern\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Mark S. Redfern\, PhD\, \nUniversity of Pittsburgh \n\"Biomechanics and the Prevention of Slips and Falls\"\n \nBio:  Mark S. Redfern is the Kepler Whiteford Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh\, with secondary appointments in the School of Medicine (Otolaryngology) and the School of Health and Rehabilitation Science (Physical Therapy).  He received a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Michigan in 1988 in the area of biomechanics while working at the Center for Ergonomics. Dr. Redfern's current research focuses mainly on human postural control modeling\, the influence of aging on balance\, and slip/fall prevention.  He has over 150 peer review publications and 20 book chapters.  \n\nAbstract: Slips and falls continue to be a significant problem\, resulting in injury and death across the age-span.  Falls result in 20 % of all occupation injuries and 13 % of fatalities\, with slips being the cause in about half.  Reducing slips and falls requires taking an ergonomics approach.  The presentation will review the slip and fall prevention research undertaken in the Human Movement and Balance Laboratory.   Three areas will be covered: Human Factors\, Environmental Evaluation and Design\, and Computer Modeling.  Human factors will include the biomechanics of slips and falls for young and older populations.  The environmental aspects will focus on slip resistance measurements and characterization of shoe-floor-contaminant interface.  Recent computational modeling efforts will also be discussed\, including shoe-floor tribological modeling.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE285 Undergraduate Seminar: Cyber Physical Systems – Threats and Vulnerabilities
DESCRIPTION:Lydia Lavigne\, Advanced Systems Manager\, Ball Aerospace\n\nThe cyber-based threat environment poses challenges to our ability to develop methods to protect and defend our systems. Retaining cyberspace superiority by protecting information flows is important to maintaining an overall strategic advantage. The cyber domain itself is unlike any other\, with a much larger potential attack surface\, an operations cycle much faster than the human decision cycle\, low barriers to entry for potential adversaries\, and ability to rapidly change in configuration and capability. \n\nThe threat to systems as they operate in\, or interface with cyberspace and the associated cyber threat is a growing concern of many people across the country. To date\, the majority of effort has been on addressing the cyber threat to our critical infrastructure and information systems. Given recent exploitation events\, immediate attention on the cyber threat to our space systems is of critical importance. However\, the unique characteristic of the cyber threat present serious challenges in understanding and resolving their potential impacts. In space vehicles\, the avionics (for example\, operational software\, electronic boxes\, cables\, comm system\, etc.) are all components of a cyber-physical system (CPS).\n\nAbout the speaker...\nLydia Lavigne’s broad background and experience spans across a variety of industries and projects ranging from large-scale U.S. military system development projects to intelligence analysis and space systems acquisition. Her work in project and program management\, technical development and process modeling also includes training and consulting. Her work often integrates complex technical tasks involving multiple technical disciplines including product design\, development\, manufacturing\, and technical analysis. \n\nLydia currently works for Ball Aerospace in its National Defense business unit as an Advanced Systems Manager\, where she develops strategies for pursuing business opportunities in technologies for national defense\, including space systems technologies\, cyber physical systems\, space protection\, data analysis\, and other adjacent technologies. Capture activities include analyzing customer roadmaps\, trade study developments\, writing white papers\, proposals\, and coordinating with both internal and external stakeholders.\n\nPrior to her current role\, Lydia worked in several other positions including Ball’s Systems Engineering Solutions group\, where she was a program manager responsible for managing cost\, schedule\, and technical performance on several projects and programs. Other positions include work as a management consultant and in space systems acquisition for the US Government. \n\nLydia has a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, Michigan and an MBA from Xavier University in Cincinnati\, Ohio. She is also a certified Project Management Professional (PMP). Lydia currently resides in Boulder\, Colorado.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Humanism
DESCRIPTION:This talk will argue for a form of humanism on which we have reason to care about human beings that we do not have to care about other animals\, and human beings have rights against us other animals lack. Humanism respects the equal worth of those born with severe congenital cognitive disabilities. We can defend this view from the charge of illicit “speciesism” and explain why being human is an ethically relevant fact.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Workshop and Exhibit. Crafting Communities in Oaxaca: Drawing Inspiration from Ancient Artifacts
DESCRIPTION:INTERACTIVE DEMONSTRATION\nNovember 9\, 2017\n2:30 - 6:00 PM\n2435 North Quad\nFor generations\, the Fabian family from Oaxaca\, Mexico has created alebrijes\, whimsical wooden figurines. The pieces are inspired by nature and archaeology. The Fabian family uses traditional carving techniques combined with pre-hispanic design motifs from the ancient settlement outside their village of San Martin Tilcajete. Please join us for a live and interactive demonstration of woodcarving and painting techniques. The audience is invited to paint their own pieces with help from the artisans\, ask questions\, and see the artists in action.\n\nWOODCARVING EXHIBIT \nNovember 10\, 2017\, 3:00 – 8:00 PM\nMichigan League\, Kalamazoo Room \nFocusing on the intersection between art and archaeology\, this exhibit features traditional Oaxacan woodcarvings called alebrijes. These pieces are the product of a collaboration between the community of San Martin Tilcajete and University of Michigan researchers. The Fabian family assisted in the excavation and analysis of archaeological artifacts from the site in their village. They have drawn inspiration from this experience to create a series of alebrijes celebrating the pre-hispanic design motifs found on artifacts recovered from ancient Zapotec houses. Through their pieces\, they combine traditional woodcarving techniques with ancient motifs in an innovative celebration of contemporary\, historical\, and ancient art from Oaxaca\, Mexico.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SynSem Discussion Group: Some notes regarding the form and function of Chomsky's recent ideas on the operation Merge
DESCRIPTION:The primary goal of the talk is to discuss Chomsky's recent thinking on Merge. Merge is argued to apply 'freely.' Does this mean that any two syntactic objects can be merged\, regardless if they are contained in the same larger object? Do we allow parallel\, sidewards\, and 'double peak'-creating Merge? If not\, why not? We explore Chomsky's answer to the general question: \"What are the basic conditions that fundamental operations should satisfy and what are the consequences of those conditions with respect to the form and function of Merge?\"

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory: Information Design Under Falsification
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWe derive an optimal test when cheating is possible in the form of type falsification. Optimal design exploits the following trade-off: while cheating may lead to better grades\, it devalues their meaning. We show that optimal tests can be derived among cheating-proof ones. Our optimal test has a single ‘failing’ grade\, and a continuum of ‘passing’ grades. It makes the agent indifferent across all moderate levels of cheating. Good types never fail\, but bad types may pass.  An optimal test delivers at least half of the full information value. A three-grade optimal test also performs well.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Novel Applications of Short-lived Radionuclides (Po-210/Pb-210 and Be-7) as Tracer and Chronometer in the Study of Ice/Snow Dynamics in the Western Arctic
DESCRIPTION:Long-lived progeny of radon-222 (222Rn\, T1/2=3.82 d)\, 210Pb (T1/2=22.3 y) and 210Po (T1/2=138.4 d)\, have been widely utilized as environmental tracer and chronometer covering time scales of <1 to ~150 y. A fraction of 222Rn produced in the upper 1-2 m of earth’s surface escapes to the atmosphere and during its journey\, it undergoes radioactive decay to 210Pb (222Rn →…→ 210Pb → 210Bi → 210Po → 206Pb). This atmospheric 210Pb is subsequently removed from the atmosphere by precipitation in a time scale of < 10-15 d. The atmospherically-delivered 210Pb on surface water is removed by suspended particulate matter and eventually becomes part of the sedimentary record. Lead-210 is the most-widely chronometer after 14C. In this study\, we present newly-developed application to date snow\, melt-ponds\, and ice-rafted sediments (IRS) using 210Po-210Pb disequilibrium in samples collected during Western Arctic GEOTRACES cruise (2015). From the measured concentrations of 210Pb and 210Po in a suite of aerosol samples collected from the Arctic region\, we assessed the residence time of 210Po-210Pb-laden aerosols. The ‘ages’ of snow and melt ponds were determined to be 2-34 and 47-61 days\, respectively. The ‘age’ of IRS ranged between 56 and 136 days\, corresponding to Transpolar Drift Stream velocity of 0.08 – 0.17 m s-1. This range of values is comparable to the satellite-based data of 0.05 to 0.10 m s-1. From the measured disequilibrium between 210Po and 210Pb in a suite of ice cores\, the model-derived accumulation and ablation rates of ice cores were obtained. This study has direct relevance to the energy exchange between the surface ocean and the atmosphere in the Arctic Ocean.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium: Shifty Asymmetries: Universals and Variation in Shifty Indexicality
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nIndexical shift is a phenomenon whereby indexicals embedded in speech and attitude reports depend for their reference on the speech/attitude report\, rather than on the overall utterance. For example\, in a language with indexical shift\, \"I\" may refer to Bob in a sentence like \"Who did Bob think I saw?\". The last 15 years have seen an explosive growth in research on indexical shift cross-linguistically. In this talk\, I discuss three major generalizations that emerge from this work\, and present a theory that attempts to explain them. The account that I develop concerns the syntax of indexical shift along with its semantics\, and has consequences for the linguistic encoding of attitudes de se. Throughout the talk I will exemplify indexical shift primarily\, though by no means exclusively\, with data from original fieldwork on Nez Perce.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Professor Eric D. Siggia - The Rockefeller University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Stem cells are commonly grown on surfaces and when induced to differentiate show disorganized arrangements of fates. The simple process of spatial confinement and BMP4 or Wnt induction leads to a reproducible arrangement of extraembryonic and germ layer fates as a function of colony radius that mimics the proximal distal axis in the mammalian embryo. Fate is defined by distance from the colony boundary which can be hundreds of microns away. The stem cell colonies also form a radially localized primitive streak and exhibit gastrulation like movements. We have characterized the molecular events that control our radial patterns\, which include receptor occlusion in apical-basal polarized colonies\, and the production and diffusion of secreted inhibitors and secondary morphogens. Three dimensional culture\, creates closed epithelia shell that resemble the postimplantation epiblast. They will spontaneously symmetry break into a primitive streak and a region resembling the anterior epiblast. This quantitative assay shows in a context very different from the embryo how the canonical signaling pathways\, generate spatial patterns over large scales\, but it also reveals cell biological aspects of signaling that are difficult to study in mammalian embryos.
