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:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ink Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Desert Southwest: Photography
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Border Crossers
DESCRIPTION:Students across campus—from LSA\, Engineering\, Art and Design\, and Information—will work with visiting artist Chico MacMurtrie during winter semester 2018 planning\, building\, and launching a 40-foot robotic sculpture that poetically explores the notion of borders and boundary conditions. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era showcases the works of Heidi Barlow\, Shaina Kasztelan\, and Bailey Scieszka\, three young women artists based in Detroit\, MI. 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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:MICHIGAN/MELLON RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM WITH PRESENTATIONS BY ANDREW HERSCHER\, ANA MARÍA LEÓN\, AND REBECCA ZURIER
DESCRIPTION:​“Detroit Art City: Toward a History” Rebecca Zurier\, Associate Professor of History of Art and “Detroit Resists and Architectures of Resistance” Andrew Herscher\, Associate Professor of Architecture\, Associate Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures\, and Associate Professor of History of Art and Ana María León\, Assistant Professor of History of Art\, Assistant Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures\, and Assistant Professor of Architecture.\n\nThe Michigan/Mellon Project on the Egalitarian Metropolis brings together designers and humanities scholars to discuss questions of urbanism\, equity\, privatization\, and the common good. The project is co-directed by Robert Fishman\, Professor of Architecture and Urban Planning\, and Matthew Biro\, Professor of Art History. Fore more information\, please visit our website: http://taubmancollege.umich.edu/research/michigan-mellon-project-egalitarianism-and-metropolis\n\nRebecca Zurier studies what American art and culture can tell us about each other\, defining art broadly to include comic strips\, mass media\, vernacular architecture\, and other aspects of the visual and built environment. Her research has focused to date on the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries\, a time when industrialization\, urbanization\, immigration\, and changes in race relations and social mores–as well as experimentation in politics and the arts–redefined the United States as modern. Current interests include urban culture in New York and Detroit\, national identity and the perception of American art abroad\, and concepts of realism and representation in art and writing.\n\nAndrew Herscher trained as an architect and historian of architecture and works on the spatial politics of violence\, humanitarian and human rights issues\, exile and migration\, and contemporary art and architecture. His research\, writing\, and teaching is informed by his long-term participant-observation in Kosovo’s post-conflict environment\, including work with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia\, the United Nations Mission in Kosovo\, and the Kosovo Cultural Heritage Project\, a nongovernmental organization he co-founded and co-directed. During his time in Michigan\, he has also been involved in a number of collaborative projects in Detroit\, including the We the People of Detroit Community Research Collective\; Detroit Resists\, a coalition of activists\, artists\, architects and community members working on behalf of an inclusive\, equitable\, and democratic city\; and the Detroit Unreal Estate Agency\, an open-access platform for the study of urban crisis using Detroit as a focal point.\n\nAna María León is trained as both an architect and an architecture historian. Her research focuses on the intersection of modernity\, pedagogy\, and politics in art and architecture\, with special emphasis on networks between the Americas and Europe. Her current project examines the housing projects of Catalan architect Antonio Bonet in Buenos Aires as mediators between the avant-garde’s fascination with the unconscious and the state’s mandate to control the crowds. She has worked on the intersection of pedagogy and politics in Latin American art and architecture\, particularly in the influence of the participatory discourse of Marxist pedagogue Paulo Freire in the work of artist Lygia Clark and architect Vilanova Artigas in São Paulo\, and in the Open City architecture school in Valparaíso.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  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. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Tuesday Lecture Series | Moonwalking in Beijing: Michael Jackson\, Piliwu\, and the Origins of Chinese Hip-Hop
DESCRIPTION:During the latter half of the 1980s\, a popular dance craze known as \"piliwu\" 霹雳舞 swept urban communities across China. Incorporating two new styles of US urban popular dance--New York-based b-boying/b-girling or \"breaking\" and California-based popping and locking-- piliwu was China's first localized movement of hip-hop culture\, which reflected new circuits of intercultural exchange between China and the United States during the first decade of China's Reform Era. Analyzing the dance choreography recorded in a 1988 Chinese film\, Rock Youth 摇滚青年 (dir. Tian Zhangzhuang)\, together with media reports and testimonials from members of China's piliwu generation\, this talk reconstructs the history of the piliwu movement\, arguing for the central influence of U.S. pop culture icon Michael Jackson\, the growth of China's underground commercial dance (zou xue 走穴) economy\, and the agency of dancers' bodies in transnational movements of media culture. \n\nEmily Wilcox is Assistant Professor of Modern Chinese Studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan. She is a specialist in Chinese performance culture\, especially dance\, and has published articles in both English and Chinese in \"Asian Theatre Journal\,\" \"TDR: The Drama Review\,\" \"The Journal of Asian Studies\,\" \"Wudao Pinglun (The Dance Review)\,\" and other venues. Dr. Wilcox co-curated the 2017 exhibition \"Chinese Dance: National Movements in a Revolutionary Age\, 1945-1965\" that was on display in the UM Hatcher Library last spring\, and she is the author of a forthcoming book on the history of concert dance in the People's Republic of China.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What is a bitcoin worth?
DESCRIPTION:THE EVENT WILL BE LIVE STREAMED ON LSA WEBSITE (link below). #UMichTalks #bitcoin\n\nFresh off her @MichiganEngineering Facebook Live Bitcoin discussion\, Dr Shaw presents an illuminating discussion on the topic.\n\nAbstract\nThe first posted exchange rate for Bitcoin in 2009 was around $0.001 (USD) = 1 BTC.  Just over eight years later\, in mid-December 2017\, it reached an inconceivable high of over $19\,000 (USD) = 1 BTC\, only to lose near 40% of its value the following month. Along with this dramatic ride in its price came a new wave of attention from mainstream audiences who brought with them a lot of questions - the two biggest being ‘What is Bitcoin?’ and ‘Why is it worth anything?’\n \nThis talk will offer some answers to these questions. The first part will use a computational modeling approach to help clarify how it is that this “something out of nothing” quality can arise out of social valuation processes. The second part will then combine information from the documented history of Bitcoin’s development\, venture capital funding trends\, and text scraped from thousands of news articles to explore the role different groups’ definitions of Bitcoin have played in constituting its current level of value and what this might entail for cryptocurrency’s future.

DESCRIPTION:The study of Black conservatism presents a number of challenges\, but finding the wealth of archival resources necessary to weave this perspective into compelling historical narratives is not one of them. The problem lies\, instead\, with a general unwillingness to look for\, and to look at\, these materials that are\, in many cases\, hiding in plain sight/site/cite.\n\nThis talk takes the history of the 1963 March on Washington as a prime example of this political\, historical\, archival and (arguably) deeply ideological phenomenon. While remembered – and enshrined in our public history – as one of the finest\, defining moments in post-WWII civil rights movement\, the March was heavily contested among African Americans\, with strong arguments against the action put forward from a center-to-right perspective. We are much more likely to memorialize critiques emanating from left-of-center\, such as Malcolm X’s famous “farce on Washington” quip\; but what about those African-American leaders\, activists and intellectuals who rejected plans for the March on “conservative” grounds\, and in defense of a “law and order” politics?  The figures who did so – the Reverend J.H. Jackson\, George Schulyer\, James Meredith and others – were hardly marginal. Obscuring their presence flattens out our political history and diminishes the richness and fluidity that has long defined Black political culture.\n\nIn our present moment of echo chamber politics\, it may be time to excavate moments when ideological diversity was very much at play in shaping debates about protest strategies and the meaning of civil rights activism. \n\nAngela D. Dillard is the Earl Lewis Collegiate Professor of Afroamerican & African Studies and in the Residential College. She serves on the faculty of both of these units within the College of Literature\, Science and the Arts and on January 1\, 2015 will become LSA’s new Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Between Past and Future: Wang Qingsong 1999-2006
DESCRIPTION:Curated by ZHANG Fang\, this art exhibition will include six of WANG Qingsong’s representative photo works that depict the traumatic transformations that have taken place inside China. These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades.  \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge.  \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\,  and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a  pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Heather Mayes: Simulating Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions to Bridge the Gap Between Human Chemical Intuition and Molecular Biophysics
DESCRIPTION:In complex reacting systems\, it can be exceedingly difficult\, or even impossible\, to tease out elementary reaction mechanisms from wet-lab data alone\, due to data convolution resulting from the multiple reacting steps and competing reactions that simultaneously occur. The systems that the Mayes group studies (multiple types of protein-carbohydrate interactions) certainly fall into this category\, with understanding further hindered by the conformational\, stereochemical\, and regiochemical degrees of freedom key to chemical reactions in these systems. Yet\, understanding these elementary mechanisms would not only help answer fundamental questions in biology\, but also improve our ability to harness these systems for applications from renewable energy to pharmaceutical interventions. I will discuss several systems that we are studying\, and focus on our investigations of how enzymes break down plant biomass. I will share how our computational research rationalizes non-intuitive wet-lab observations by revealing mechanisms that do not conform to human intuition. In doing so\, we gather lessons from how nature has evolved efficient enzymes that we can then apply to rational enzyme design.\n\nBio: Heather Mayes is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering. Her research group uses multi-scale modeling to discover protein-sugar interactions and to harness them for renewable energy and improved health. The study of carbohydrate-protein interactions is an important step to create renewable fuels and chemicals from non-food biomass\, and the results can be applied to several human diseases\, including cancer and autoimmune disorders.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Africa Workshop
DESCRIPTION:My primary area of research addresses the rhetoric of application forms within a historical and sociological framework that accounts for the way biographic details are used to distribute institutional resources. My current book project\, Forms of Submission: Writing for Aid and Opportunity in America explores a 125-year history of applications for financial support and college admission\, and the ways institutions address problems with inequality at the level of the applicant’s biography.\n\nThe second area of research emerged from my previous position\, teaching in the Rhetoric Department at The American University in Cairo\, and through an affiliation with the Center for American Studies and Research (CASAR). With Ira Dworkin\, I co-edited a volume of Comparative American Studies on transnational American Studies in the Middle East and North Africa. I also have two forthcoming articles on Egypt\, appearing in The Drama Review and Transition.\n\nThe third area of research represents my latest project as well as a shift from paperwork to logistics\, in an exploration of a little-known back-to-Africa movement that resets the timeline for African American migration to Ghana. Building on research that began as a biography of my ancestor Alfred Charles Sam (1880-1932)\, the book reconstructs the logistical complexity and inspiration for an African organizing African American return to Ghana in 1915. Pan-African Logistics: Chief Sam and the Origins of African American Migration to Ghana identifies African descendants of the movement\, the role of African Americans in an emerging West African nationalism\, and the complex interface between blackness\, business\, and migration.\n\nRecent and Forthcoming Publications\n \n\nApplication Forms/Paperwork:\nSpecial Issue Editor\,\"Biographic Mediation: On the Uses of Disclosure in Bureaucracy and Politics\,\"Biography\, forthcoming 2019.\n\n“Funding the American Dream: On the Biographic Mediation of Aid and Institutional Change in Horatio Alger Scholarship Narratives\, forthcoming\, a/b: journal of auto/biographical studies\, 33.1.\n\n“Biographic Mediation\,” Special Issue on What's Next?

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | \nSub-cycle Terahertz Microscopy Down to the Atomic Scale
DESCRIPTION:\nA new experimental frontier has recently emerged with the potential to significantly impact physics\, chemistry\, materials science\, and biology: the regime of ultrafast time resolution and ultrasmall spatial resolution. This is the domain in which single atoms\, molecules\, and electronic orbitals move. It also corresponds\, on larger scales\, to the territory of low-energy elementary excitations such as plasmons\, phonons\, and interlevel transitions in excitons. These processes are of particular importance for nanomaterial functionality. Moreover\, they typically survive for only femtoseconds to picoseconds after photoexcitation and can evolve within a single oscillation period.\n\nIn this talk\, I will show how these diverse dynamics can be studied with new techniques that combine terahertz technology with scanning probe microscopy. First\, I will describe how ultrafast near-field microscopy has been employed to perform sub-cycle spectroscopy of single nanoparticles [1]\, reveal hidden structure in correlated electron systems [2]\, and resolve transient interface polaritons in van der Waals heterostructures [3]. Then\, I will discuss the invention and development of a related technique: lightwave-driven terahertz scanning tunneling microscopy [4\,5]. In this novel approach\, the oscillating electric field of a phase-stable\, few-cycle light pulse at a atomically sharp tip can be used to remove a single electron from a single molecular orbital within a time window faster than an oscillation cycle of the terahertz wave. I will show how this technique has been used to take ultrafast snapshot images of the electron density in single molecular orbitals and watch the motion of a single molecule for the first time [5].\n\n[1] M.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DISTINGUISHED UNIVERSITY PROFESSORSHIP LECTURE: JUNE MANNING THOMAS\, \"CRITICAL NEEDS IN PLANNING THE 'GOOD CITY': LESSONS FROM DETROIT.\"
DESCRIPTION:Professor June Manning Thomas will give a lecture in honor of her recognition as the Mary Frances Berry Distinguished University Professor of Urban Planning. A reception will follow in the Rackham Building Assembly Hall. \n\nAbout the award:\nEstablished in 1947\, Distinguished University Professorships recognize full professors for exceptional scholarly or creative achievement\, national and international reputation\, and superior teaching skills. Each professorship bears a name determined by the appointive professor in consultation with her or his dean. Manning Thomas chose to be named the Mary Frances Berry Distinguished University Professor of Urban Planning. Centennial Professor of Urban and Regional Planning June Manning Thomas will give the Mary Frances Berry Distinguished University of Michigan Professor of Urban Planning Lecture at Taubman College. As one of nine faculty members university-wide to receive this top faculty honor this year\, Professor Thomas is also the first faculty member at Taubman College to receive this prestigious designation.\n\nMary Frances Berry Distinguished University Professor of Urban Planning Centennial Professor of Urban and Regional Planning June Manning Thomas will give the Mary Frances Berry Distinguished University of Michigan Professor of Urban Planning Lecture at Taubman College. As one of nine faculty members university-wide to receive this top faculty honor this year\, Thomas is also the first faculty member at Taubman College to receive this prestigious designation. \n\nThomas is a pre-eminent scholar on how racial inequality and disunity have affected the planning\, evolution\, and redevelopment of cities and their neighborhoods. Her work focuses on economically distressed central cities\, addressing issues of planning theory and socialjustice. Her co-edited book Urban Planning and the African American Community: In the Shadows is a path-breaking exploration of key connections between racial injustice and urban planning. Redevelopment and Race: Planning a Finer City in Postwar Detroit won the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning’s Paul Davidoff Award for urban planning books published in in the area of social justice. She has written or co-edited three additional books related to race and poverty in Detroit and in other depopulated cities in the Midwest as well as dozens of book chapters and articles in scholarly journals. She also has written policy reports for the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan. \n\nHer recent research explores community development in Detroit and the 1960s civil rights movement in Orangeburg\, South Carolina\, where she helped integrate the local high school. Her research has been widely recognized by numerous academic awards including her election as a Fellow of the American Institute of Certified Planners. She is a prominent and highly effective national advocate for diversity and inclusion of under-represented faculty and students in urban planning academic programs. In 2013 she was named president of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning\, where she encouraged greater racial diversity in the nation’s urban planning schools. \n\nRecognized as an outstanding and inspirational teacher\, Thomas was a founding instructor for the U-M Residential College’s Semester in Detroit program\, teaching at the U-M Detroit Center from 2011 to 2015. Her graduate course in planning theory is a defining experience for many graduate students\, emphasizing ethics and challenging students to consider how the planning process interacts with and affects disadvantaged communities without access to decision-makers. In recognition of her many contributions in the classroom and of her wider service on behalf of a more inclusive University\, Professor Thomas was awarded the 2014 Harold R. Johnson Diversity Service Award. \n\nThomas earned her B.A. from Michigan State University in 1970\, with a major in sociology. Awarded Danforth\, National Science Foundation\, and Woodrow Wilson Fellowships\, she entered the doctoral program in the Urban and Regional Planning Program at the University of Michigan\, earning her Ph.D. in 1977 with a dissertation studying the loss of land ownership among African-Americans in South Carolina. She taught at Michigan State University before accepting a position in 2007 as the Centennial Professor in the Urban and Regional Planning Program of the A. Alfred Taubman College Architecture and Urban Planning.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, February 20\, 2018\n4:00-5:00 p.m.\nFree and open to the public.\n\nMichigan Ross Campus\nRoss Building\n701 Tappan \nColloquium\, 6th Floor\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109-1234\n\nRegister: http://myumi.ch/65Gxm\n\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nIn this talk\, Dutton and Worline invite you to consider the power of high quality connections in organizations as a source of competitive advantage. Research on the power of high quality connections (and the pathways to build them) offers insights into how we can infuse organizational practices (such as onboarding\, meetings\, talent development\, and shift changes) with a greater capacity for building high quality connections. The presentation will offer practical examples of how to re-imagine everyday organizational routines as opportunities to build employee engagement\, health\, creativity\, and resilience.\n\nAbout Dutton:\nJane Dutton is the Robert L. Kahn Distinguished University Emerita Professor of Business Administration and Psychology at the University of Michigan and co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations. Her research on Positive Organizational Scholarship began with an interest in compassion and the difference it makes for individuals and organizations\, and has expanded to focus on the power of positive relationships at work\, job crafting\, and positive identities.\n\nAbout Worline:\nMonica C. Worline\, PhD\, is co-author of Awakening Compassion at Work and founder and CEO of EnlivenWork\, an innovation organization that teaches people how to tap into courageous thinking\, compassionate leadership\, and the curiosity to bring their best work to life.

SUMMARY:Other:Quantifying oxygen’s role in promoting aggressive cancer phenotypes with a paper-based 3D culture platform
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                                                                Oxygen is a master regulator of a number of cellular processes. In tissues\, gradients of oxygen and nutrients extend radially from blood vessels. The gradients in these diffusion-dominated environments increase greatly when a blood vessel is occluded\, or in the case of the tumors\, when the rate of proliferation outpaces the rate of vascularization. The extent of hypoxia in tumors has been correlated with cancer aggressiveness\, drug resistance\, and invasiveness. Gradients of oxygen are also believed to direct cellular invasion from the solid tumor mass to neighboring healthy tissue.\nDespite the pivotal role that oxygen plays in tumor biology\, there are a limited number of in vitro assays able to quantify cellular morphology\, gene- and protein-expression\, or drug sensitivities in well-defined oxygen gradients. Due to the lack of experimental tools\, many studies compare cellular differences at a single normoxic (21% O2) and hypoxic (~0.2% O2) condition. Monolayer cultures are also commonly used in these normoxia-hypoxia comparisons. These experiments provide a simplified view of oxygen-mediated regulation\, overlooking the importance of gradients by exposing cells to a single oxygen and nutrient concentration. Evaluating a limited number of oxygen tensions has led to the inadequate interpretation that cellular responses to oxygen are a binary phenomenon\, eliciting a particular hypoxic phenotype or not.\nWe are developing a 3D culture platform utilizing paper-based scaffolds to prepare tissue- or organ-like structures. We are able to engineer extracellular environments with specific oxygen or nutrient gradients\, and to tease apart the nuanced responses of cells in gradients of different steepness and shape. In this talk\, I will highlight the paper-based culture platform as well as other technologies we are developing to address three long-standing questions in tumor biology. First is the role that oxygen gradients play in directing cellular movement. We have recently shown that oxygen is a chemo-attractant in diffusion-dominated environments\, and are exploring what additional extracellular conditions (e.g.\, gradient steepness\, presence of overlapping nutrient gradients) promote this directed invasion. Second is the oxygen-mediated mechanisms through which hypoxic cells become drug resistant. In particular\, we use invasion assays and tumor-like structures to evaluate the relationship between oxygen tension\, active resistance (upregulation of drug efflux pumps)\, and passive resistance (altered metabolism or halted proliferation). Third is the relationship between hypoxia and hormone responsiveness in estrogen receptor alpha positive (ER+) breast cancers.                        \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nMatthew Lockett (University of North Carolina)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. State Repression and Collective Action in Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Egypt has witnessed thousands of protests over the last decade. In the face of such collective action\, security forces have responded in varied ways\, ranging from tolerating protests to crackdowns using non-deadly force\, to unleashing large-scale lethal repression. What explains these patterns of repression? Which protests were security forces most likely to shut down\, and why? What determined the level of violence that security forces used? Based on extensive fieldwork in Egypt\, Jean Lachapelle will argue that autocrats’ repressive strategies are largely shaped by elite assessments of the risks of a popular backlash—i.e.\, the risk that repression may backfire and cause further mobilization. Empirically\, Lachapelle demonstrates the relationship between backlash risks and patterns of violent repression in Egypt between 2004 and 2015\, using interviews and an original event dataset of protests and police responses.\n   \nJean Lachapelle completed his Ph.D. in political science at the University of Toronto in 2017. His current research examines the causes of state violence in authoritarian regimes\, with regional expertise on the Middle East and North Africa. More broadly\, Jean is interested in issues of repression\, revolution\, the relationship between violence and political order\, as well as methods of causal inference in the social sciences. His first book project\, entitled “Determinants of State Repression in Authoritarian Regimes\,” focuses on Egypt (1981-2013) and theorizes the decision-calculus of authoritarian rulers to deploy repression\, using interviews and an original dataset of protests and repressive events collected over the course of 16 months of research in Egypt. As a Weiser Center postdoctoral fellow\, Jean will complete his book manuscript and work on related projects that test and expand its key arguments. In particular\, he will conduct a cross-national study of Syria\, Tunisia\, Iraq\, and Egypt since the mid-20th century that explains why these countries exhibit divergent patterns of state repression.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Stearns Collection Virginia Howard Martin Lecture: MI Arab Takht Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:The Michigan Arab Orchestra Takht Ensemble (MAOTE) is a classical Arab music chamber ensemble comprising of instruments such as: ‘oud (Arab lute)\, qanun (Arab zither)\, nay (Arab reed flute)\, violin\, bass\, and percussion. Established in April 2010\, the MAOTE includes musicians from the greater Detroit community\; and performs classical and contemporary Arab music otherwise known as tarab music\, characterized by its melodic modes known as maqāmāt (sing. maqām) and complex rhythmic modes (iqā’at).  It is also distinguished by the art of improvisation\, or taqāsim\, during which a musician outlines a melodic mode and/or modulates to other related modes.  The audience plays an extremely important role in tarab music\, since listeners (sami’ah) will often respond with applause during and after a musician’s improvised solos.

SUMMARY:Performance:Guest Recital: Julian Saporiti and Erin Aoyama
DESCRIPTION:No-No Boy is a multimedia concert featuring the songs of singer/songwriter Julian Saporiti. These songs\, inspired by his doctoral research at Brown University\, as well as his experiences growing up as a Vietnamese-American in Tennessee\, are complemented by stories he has collected set against a backdrop of projections displaying archival photographs and films. \n\nThis performance shines a light on diverse but interconnected Asian-American experiences: the many lives of WWII Japanese Incarceration camp survivors\, refugees from southeast Asia\, waves of immigrants\, and kids in middle America making sense of a hyphenated identity. Saporiti is joined on stage by singer and fellow Brown PhD student Erin Aoyama\, whose grandmother was incarcerated during World War II in a Japanese-American concentration camp in Wyoming. Together\, they tell stories\, sing songs\, and show films to share their research in a unique and captivating way.
