He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching. The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work. Part of this series is included in the 2017 Women to Watch: Metals exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where she lives and works.

It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

The project\, led by the Institute for the Humanities\, symbolizes the humanities in action\, and the empowerment that can be achieved through working together\, overcoming obstacles and divides\, and discovering creative solutions.\n\nMacmurtrie is an award winning artist\, renowned internationally for his large-scale robotic sculpture\, whose work combines materiality and robotics\, the visceral and conceptual. His artist residency and interdisciplinary project \"Border Crossers\" encourages investigation of borders as constructed entities\, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national\, architectural\, environmental\, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.\n\nIn February\, MacMurtrie and the students will launch the robotic sculpture during two \"performances\" and MacMurtrie will give a special Penny W. Stamps Lecture. The gallery exhibition will include large-scale drawings which serve as plans and maps for MacMurtrie's visionary Border Crossers. Life-size robotic models will also be presented in the exhibition in conversation with the drawings. The models\, built by the all-student team with MacMurtrie's guidance\, are prototypes for the project\, offering preliminary steps in the workshop and the process towards realizing the large scale robotic sculpture.\n\nChico MacMurtrie is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works\, an interdisciplinary creative collective located in Brooklyn\, NY. MacMurtrie/ARW have received numerous awards for their experimental new media artworks\, including five grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation Grant\, the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship\, VIDA Life 11.0\, and Prix Ars Electronica. Chico MacMurtrie was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2016.\n\nVisiting artist Chico MacMurtrie's residency and project is sponsored by the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with U-M Museum of Art\, Michigan Robotics\, Michigan Engineering\, School of Information\, Penny Stamps Speaker Series\, Stamps School of Art and Design\, and ArtsEngin.

Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party. UID:47322-10866231@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

She is an anthro-political linguist recognized for her research on U.S. LatinU languages\, language socialization\, \"Spanglish\,\" and \"English-only\" laws. In addition to her award winning community ethnography\, Growing Up Bilingual: Puerto Rican Children in New York (1997)\, she co-authored Spanish in New York: Language Contact\, Dialectal Leveling\, and Structural Continuity (2012) with Ricardo Otheguy\, and edited three volumes\, Building on Strength: Language and Literacy in Latino Families and Communities (2005)\, Multilingual San Diego (2009)\, and Multilingual Philadelphia (2010). Recent articles include a study of language and identity on the Tijuana–San Diego border by Mexican-origin college students and at a border high school\, and Puerto Rican assimilation to Mexican Spanish in San Diego.\n\nIn her talk\, Prof. Zentella will discuss recent debates about language\, truth\, facts\, news\, and the rise of linguistic intolerance and hate crimes. As she indicates\, “An anthro-political linguistic perspective helps us understand the recent attacks on speakers of other languages by the general public\, employers\, teachers\, judges\, senators\, and by the President and his advisors\, by explaining how racial ideologies of superiority/inferiority and purity/contamination have been remapped from biology onto language\, with damaging repercussions for the education\, employment\, and safety of people of color who speak varied languages.”\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

Numerous public goods experiments have shown that many people contribute more to the public good than pure self-interest can easily explain. Correspondingly\, there exists a large body of experimental evidence and behavioral explanations. As a natural extension\, we deploy the standard linear public goods game in a network setting\, where only connected neighbors on the network can contribute to and benefit from the same collection of public goods. In the proposed experiment\, we utilize a series of locally tree-like regular graphs to examine if the network structure will affect learning and other-regarding preferences (social preferences). Building upon the various network structures in the experiment\, we would like to employ structural models that characterize the patterns of local interactions and calibrate the empirical population distribution of such characteristics. Lastly\, the experimental evidence will support the construction of ”Empirical agent-based models\,” which we plan to use for ”out of sample prediction.” Based on our understanding of local interactions\, we are now ready to explore the provision of public goods in networks with other typologies — be it of larger size or different characteristics.

Information is accumulated and transferred within and across generations through the process of cumulative culture. What are the evolved psychological mechanisms that underlie cultural learning and how do they develop over the course of ontogeny? In a systematic program of mixed-methodological\, comparative\, and cross-cultural research\, I study the human capacities to learn\, create\, and transmit culture\, to shed light on the cognitive and cultural evolution of our species. The propensity for social learning provides the foundation for cumulative culture\, and is both early developing and universal. Selective social learning mechanisms also afford the capacity to flexibly respond to diverse ontogenetic contexts and cultural ecologies. I describe the global diversity in childrearing practices\, and present evidence for continuity and variability in the psychological capacities that enable cultural learning. \n\nBio:\nDr. Legare is an alumna of the U-M's Developmental area and studies the influence of culture on children's cognitive and social development.

There is overwhelming evidence that creating an autonomy-supportive learning environment\, in which instructors seek to adopt student perspectives and allow students to take more ownership of their learning\, has numerous benefits. In this session\, we will present data supporting these ideas\, collected through a large-scale\, course transformation program\, which uses the framework of self-determination theory to help instructors increase student engagement and motivation. We will also discuss some benefits and challenges of long-term and widespread data collection.\n\nIn the interactive session\, participants will have the opportunity to identify relevant research questions\, potential data collection measures\, and available resources to help with scholarship endeavors. We will also consider the wide-range of benefits of including scholarly inquiry in your teaching activities.

I will present research suggesting that these “intuitive theories\" are never truly replaced by scientific theories but rather coexist with them\, shaping the kinds of inferences we make\, the kinds of explanations we endorse\, and the kinds of information we accept as true. While adults with extensive science education are typically able to discriminate between scientific and non-scientific claims\, they are slower to make those discriminations for claims that are inconsistent with their intuitive theories\, and they justify the endorsement of scientific claims by appealing to intuition and authority rather than theory and evidence. Our understanding of science may thus be constrained by patterns of reasoning that emerge in childhood but persist long thereafter.

The Miami New Times named her a “Republican power-consultant\,” and the Tampa Bay Times called her “a sought-after voice in Republican politics and an adviser for any presidential hopeful\,” saying\, “with confidants Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio she is poised to play a big role in the GOP response to immigration reform and Hispanic outreach.” Respected on both sides of the aisle for her straight shooting and candor\, Navarro frequently appears in the media\, sought after by Meet the Press\, Bill Maher’s Real Time\, Anderson Cooper 360\, and The View\, to name a few. “Ana speaks the truth\, and she is willing to speak the truth to power without reservation…She has the ear of lots of elected officials\,” said Republican consultant Brett O’Donnell. She is in touch with the political issues people are talking about\, and in presentations\, she discusses the latest hot button issues in politics\, giving audiences an insider’s view of the upcoming elections and a roadmap for where the country is headed.

The Lost Gender Egalitarian Voice of the Qur’an DESCRIPTION:How can a book that--allegedly--openly advises husbands by saying\, “Strike them” in cases of marital conflict have any possible gender-egalitarian interpretation? Does the Qur’an really reflect a misogynist ideology? What can the analytic\, linguistic\, and critical approach to the Qur’anic text reveal when it comes to women’s issues? Could the hermeneutical investigation of the Qur’an end by the reconquest of a lost humanitarian and gender egalitarian richness of a text that has gone poorly and loosely handled for centuries? What does the Qur’an relay say about gender equality\, polygamy\, minor marriage\, women’s right to education and work\, women’s right to public authority positions\, and women’s right to Prophethood?\n\nAbla Hasan is assistant professor of practice of Arabic language and culture at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

Indeed\, some interactions may help to resolve some observed tensions between high and low redshift probes of structure. I will discuss a class of models where the interactions take the form of pure momentum exchange and show how these can lead to a dark energy sound speed that deviates from unity. \n UID:50042-11625145@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50042 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180214T134227 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180219T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180219T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sex and the Archives: A View from the Trenches DESCRIPTION:Where do we find sex in archives?

Indigenous Climate Change Studies and Justice: Indigenizing Futures\, Decolonizing the Anthropocene DESCRIPTION:Indigenous peoples are creating an STS-related field to support their own capacities to address anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change. Indigenous studies often reflect the memories and realms of knowledge that arise from Indigenous peoples’ living heritages as societies with stories\, lessons\, and long histories of having to be well-organized to adapt to seasonal and inter-annual environmental changes. At the same time\, our societies have been heavily disrupted by colonialism\, capitalism\, and industrialization. Through discussing the themes unique to Indigenous climate change studies\, I will claim that Indigenous studies offer critical decolonizing approaches by which to address climate change and achieve climate justice. These approaches arise from how our ways of imagining the future guide our present actions. The presentation will cover and integrate a range of topics\, from the Dakota Access Pipeline to the Indigenous science movement to Indigenous science fiction imagination.\n\nKyle Whyte (Potawatomi) holds the Timnick Chair in the Humanities at Michigan State University.

Béla Fleck is a fifteen-time Grammy Award winner who has taken the instrument across multiple genres\, and Abigail Washburn a singer-songwriter and clawhammer banjo player who re-radicalized the instrument by combining it with Far East culture and sounds. The two met at a square dance\, began collaborating musically and eventually fell in love.
