SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Free Speech on Campus
DESCRIPTION:Free speech is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, and democratic society. Yet\, the idea of freedom of speech on university campuses is challenged by the ever-evolving social and political realities of a contemporary democracy. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the role free speech plays on university campuses and how this discourse shapes the broader narrative about free speech protection across the United States. Why is free speech suddenly an issue on university campuses? Is speech or safety at the crux of the issue? How has the definition of free speech evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries and how are universities addressing these changes?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come\, join the conversation!\n\nFind new opportunities at teach-out.org.

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.

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:The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet
DESCRIPTION:As the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death\, 2017 presents an opportunity to showcase not only significant early editions of Austen’s works held in the Special Collections Library\, but a much broader swath of materials revealing the historical milieu in which she and her characters lived.\n\nThe 1780s-1810s was a tumultuous time period in Britain with effects reaching to the present day\, and we are fortunate to be able to draw on a rich collection of sources that illustrate Austen’s historical moment\, from A Companion to the Ballroom and The Book of Common Prayer to An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species... and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.\n\nThe Library will be closed December 23 to January 1.

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:Presentation:Clinical Science Brown Bag:  The Yale Food Addiction for Children 2.0 - A Dimensional Approach to Scoring
DESCRIPTION:The Yale Food Addiction Scale for Children (YFAS-C) has not yet been updated to reflect the recent changes to substance use disorder criteria in the DSM-5. The current study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Yale Food Addiction Scale for Children 2.0 (YFAS-C 2.0) to see if the updated criteria are appropriate for examining food addiction in children and adolescents. After examining the endorsement of individual symptoms on the YFAS-C2.0 in a community sample of adolescents ages 13-16\, we determined that many of the updated\, problem-focused criteria in the DSM-5 are not endorsed by adolescents. Therefore\, we created a dimensional version of the scale including only those items endorsed by more than 10% of the sample. The dimensional version of the scale demonstrated expected convergent validity with previously validated measures of maladaptive eating and also demonstrated strong internal reliability. Further\, the items included on the dimensional version were more reflective of the mechanistic aspects of food addiction\, including craving\, the inability to cut down on certain foods\, and eating more than originally intended. This suggests that the new problem-focused symptoms included in the DSM-5 (e.g. eating instead of completing homework\, interference with social relationships) may not be developmentally appropriate in uncovering food addiction in individuals who are beginning to develop signs of maladaptive eating.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Interior Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Collecting Oral Histories
DESCRIPTION:This interactive course will explore oral history as a way of sharing and documenting life stories in creative ways through audio recordings\, videos\, photography\, writing\, and other forms of media. \n\nWe will learn what oral history is and why it is important as both an object of study and a way of “telling” the past. We will practice recording our own oral histories and those of others. We will also have workshops for individual projects\, with the goal of creating a finished piece by the end of the course. \n\nInstructor Moniek van Rheenen is a linguistic anthropology Ph.D. student at the UM who conducts oral histories for her research in Indonesia.  This study group for those 50 and over will be held on Mondays from March 5 to April 9.

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:Examining Heterogeneity in Social Movements Using Social Media Data
DESCRIPTION:Most collective action models conceptualize a social or political movement as actions taken by a rather homogeneous group of activists that come together for a common goal and put in the same amount of effort with similar costs. The availability of online traces of protest participation allows us to move beyond such simplifying assumptions and study heterogeneity in contentious politics along various dimensions. In this talk\, drawing from data on various cases of contentious politics that differ in scales\, geographies\, and goals\, I will discuss various forms of heterogeneity observed in online social and political movements. First\, through the case study of #occupygezi\, I will examine heterogeneity in political attitudes of participants and the implications of exposure to such heterogeneity  for behavioral changes observed for the protesters. Second\, through an examination of Black Lives Matter and Women’s rights movements on Twitter\, I investigate the heterogeneity in participation intensity and protester type. Findings highlight the potential for a better understanding and modeling of movements by leveraging data driven methods   that identify such heterogeneity.

I propose that even in the same objective circumstances\, people can perceive themselves and others as either merely engaging in a series of actions (a neutral action mindset) or making a series of choices (a choice mindset). Going beyond the benefits of actual choices for task-specific motivation\, my research shows that activating the choice mindset can have a broad range of downstream consequences in diverse unrelated domains. When judging others\, people in a choice mindset put responsibility on the individual rather than on contextual factors\, thus becoming more susceptible to the fundamental attribution error and being more likely to blame the victim. People in a choice mindset put responsibility for societal problems\, such as wealth inequality\, primarily on individuals (e.g.\, “rich people make good choices\, poor people made bad choices”) rather than on the context (e.g.\, such as regressive tax systems). People in a choice mindset think more analytically rather than holistically\, focusing on the parts of a phenomenon rather than the whole. The choice mindset helps people cope with distressing events\, helping them positively reappraise the situation through the lens of choice and thus experience lower negative emotions. A field experiment found that a chronic choice mindset can improve people's everyday decision making: students’ time allocation decisions suffered as they approached the end of the semester\, but a five week choice mindset intervention arrested this decline\, helping students allocate their time in a more optimal manner.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Hunting Dark Matter Axions and other Exotic Creatures
DESCRIPTION:The nature of dark matter is one of the great mysteries of modern physics today and could be from new particles beyond the standard model. The Axion\, originally conceived as a solution to the strong-CP problem in nuclear physics\, is one well-motivated candidate. The Axion Dark Matter Experiment (ADMX)\, a DOE Gen 2 project\, uses a large microwave cavity immersed in a strong static magnetic field to resonantly convert dark matter axions to detectable photons. Recently ADMX has completed its first data run with unprecedented sensitivity in the classical QCD-axion mass range of several µeV. In addition\, several new detection techniques have been proposed to cover a large span of potential axion masses beyond that of the classical window. In this talk I will describe the history of axion dark matter searches\, describe the recent ADMX results and give a survey of the R&D efforts currently underway to explore the entire axion dark matter mass window.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Henry Russell Lecture - Rush to Reductionism:  Lessons from Studies on the Neurobiology of Addiction
DESCRIPTION:The Henry Russel Lectureship is considered U-M's highest honor for senior members of active faculty. It is awarded annually to recognize a faculty member with exceptional achievements in research\, scholarship or creative endeavors\, as well as an outstanding record of distinguished teaching\, mentoring and service to the university and wider communities.\n\nConsidered the university’s highest honor for early and mid-career faculty\, the Henry Russel Award recognizes those who have demonstrated an extraordinary record of accomplishment in scholarly research or creativity\, as well as an excellent record of contributions as a teacher.\n\nRobinson\, Elliot S. Valenstein Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience\, and professor of psychology\, LSA\, is renowned for his path-breaking research on the effects of addictive drugs on the brain and behavior\, including the persistent psychological and neurobiological consequences of repeated psychostimulant drug use\, and the implications of these for addiction and relapse.\n\nAmong other contributions\, he discovered the brain mechanisms by which normal reward-related processes go awry\, contributing to drug addiction.\n\nFor his Russel Lecture\, Robinson said he will emphasize how\, \"the reductionist trend in neuroscience these days is to very quickly launch detailed investigations as to the cells\, circuits and molecules that mediate behavioral and psychological functions.\"\n\n\"But one problem with this is that the cart is often put before the horse\, in that mechanisms are sought for behavioral and psychological phenomena that themselves have not yet been well characterized\,\" he said. \"That is\, the behavioral or psychological side of the equation is often given short shrift in the rush to reductionism.\"\n\nRobinson said he will draw on examples from his own work\, which focuses on the psychology and neurobiology of addiction\, to discuss how mechanistic studies using popular animal models of addiction may be premature\, given it is still unclear as to what behavioral procedures best capture the human situation.
