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.

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.

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.

It affects 73 million people worldwide and is usually diagnosed at fracture. Under-treatment of the disease can lead to preventable fracture\, falls\, and death\; whereas over-treatment can cause associated negative effects\, such as atypical fracture.\n\nThe changes to the collagen nano- and micro-structure and the changes in mineral to matrix composition are not fully understood\, and these changes are important to better understanding the biomechanics of bone.\n\nThus\, the lumbar vertebrae (LV) 2 and 4 of cyno monkeys that were treated\, osteoporotic\, or healthy were studied. One group was submitted to Sham surgery\, and the rest were ovariectomized (OVX). Two years post-surgery\, the monkeys were either treated with Alendronate\, a Cathepsin K inhibitor\, Denosumab\, or left untreated.\n\nAtomic force microscopy (AFM) coupled to infrared (IR) spectroscopy was used for topographical imaging and chemical composition characterizations of the LV4. This data provides both structural and chemical data over a length scale that is applicable to the biomechanical properties of bone.

One common concern is that curricula remain too ambitious\, moving onto advanced texts before many children have learned basic literacy skills. In the current project\, we aim to assess the impact of community-based reading interventions that group and teach children according to the current state of their reading skills\, rather than where they ostensibly ’should’ be. In addition\, we will ask whether involving schoolteachers in these interventions can provide further benefits by filtering such practices into the classroom.

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.

The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery. Exhibition on view March 7 - March 28.

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.

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. 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.

This path toward decarbonization of the energy sector promises many societal benefits such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions\, technological innovation\, and reduced air pollution. The costs of this transition such as price spikes or job displacement\, however\, are not evenly spread across the population\, since some individuals and communities are more vulnerable to the adverse impacts than others. In this presentation\, I will introduce a framework for conceptualizing vulnerability and then provide an illustration of its potential application using the case of the renewable portfolio standard. I will also present findings from interviews and focus groups with individuals that reside or work within more vulnerable populations. These findings provide insights about the manner in which communities perceive of the energy transition\, and how they cope with changes introduced by the transition.\n\nSanya Carley is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Policy Analysis and Public Finance faculty at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University.

The lecture will explore these questions by outlining eight core findings and three gaps in the knowledge about the class remaking of cities of Eastern Europe and FSU. Three gaps stand out in the existing urban studies literature on gentrification in Eastern Europe: the key role of Friedrich Engels’ ideas on housing nationalization from the \"The Housing Question\;\" the linkages between housing restitution\, evictions\, and gentrification\; and the problematic assumptions about time and temporality of gentrification. Despite its pros and cons\, using the concept of gentrification has the potential to expand the public agenda with conversations about shrinking affordable housing\, uneven development\, and structural violence in urban Eastern Europe. Cities of Eastern Europe may contribute to gentrification theories through an increased attention to property rights transformations and through a better understanding of the politics of portable knowledge across the world. \n \nLiviu Chelcea (PhD anthropology\, 2004\, U-M) is an urban anthropologist and professor at the Department of Sociology\, University of Bucharest\, Romania.

In the past two decades\, only a handful of them have been explicitly calculated using the standard algorithm. In this talk I will introduce modern methods to compute holographic correlators efficiently\, which are inspired by the bootstrap philosophy and the on-shell methods of scattering amplitudes in flat space. I will show that by translating the problem into Mellin space many difficulties encountered when applying the traditional method are avoided. I will argue that imposing symmetry constraints and general consistency conditions -- avoiding all details of the complicated effective Lagrangian -- leads to many novel results for holographic four-point functions in AdS5×S5\, AdS7×S4 and AdS4×S7. I will conclude by outlining some interesting future directions of this program.

Using previously unexamined historical materials such as rare photographs and performance programs\, dancer biographies\, autobiographies and personal interviews\, unpublished institutional histories\, and contemporary periodicals\, this article demonstrates not only that dance was an integral part of China’s inter-Asian cultural exchange between 1953 and 1962\, but also that the PRC developed a distinct approach to dance diplomacy. Through a series of exchanges with India\, Indonesia\, and Burma\, China’s foreign ministers and dancers developed and refined a method of dance diplomacy in which the primary goal was to learn from\, rather than export to\, these neighboring countries. This approach harnessed the affective power of embodied aesthetic culture to literally “perform” Bandung ideals\, namely\, cooperation and mutual respect among Asian nations and an anti-imperialist cultural stance. Through the establishment in 1962 of the Oriental Song and Dance Ensemble\, the PRC institutionalized this model of dance diplomacy\, expanding it to include the entire Third World. Bandung-era dance diplomacy initiatives of the 1950s and early 1960s not only supported important new international alliances and political movements\, but also asserted China’s self-identity as part of the East in a way that challenged Eurocentric ideals previously entrenched in China’s domestic dance field.\n\nAbout the speaker: \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. Dr. Wilcox co-curated the 2017 exhibition “Chinese Dance: National Movements in a Revolutionary Age\, 1945-1965.” She is the author of numerous articles and has written a forthcoming book tracing the history of concert dance in the People’s Republic of China.

The failure of respondents to pay attention to questions and treatments introduces noise into data sets\, weakening correlations between items and increasing the likelihood of null findings. The Instructional Manipulation Check\, or “Screener\"\, has recently been proposed as a way to identify inattentive respondents. While Screeners hold potential for identifying inattentive respondents\, questions remain regarding their implementation. In this talk\, I will discuss the costs and benefits of using measures of attentiveness of self-administered surveys. The talk will be based on these two articles\, as well as on ongoing research.\n\nBIO: Adam Berinsky is the Mitsui Professor of Political Science at MIT.

Hamstra\, PhD DESCRIPTION:Stanley J. Hamstra\, PhD\nVice President\, Milestone Research and Evaluation\nAccreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education\nTitle: \"Learning Analytics in Graduate Medical Education: Realizing the Promise of CBME with Milestones Achievement Data\"\n\nAbstract: In 2012\, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) introduced the Next Accreditation System (NAS) for improving postgraduate medical education. An important component of the NAS is a shift towards competency-based medical education (CBME)\, involving milestones as markers of achievement during training. Since 2015\, the ACGME has been collecting milestones achievement data (competency ratings) on all resident and fellow physicians in accredited training programs in the USA (n > 110\,000 residents and fellows per year). A critical assumption in CBME is that assessment data regarding any learner (in any form) contains some degree of uncertainty. At the same time\, program directors must make finite/binary decisions about learners at the time of graduation\, and indeed throughout training. The availability of milestones data\, in the context of national trends\, gives the program director an additional tool for making the best decisions regarding learner progression (and ultimately graduation). I will briefly review tools we have developed to help program directors make use of milestones data to enhance the quality of their decisions regarding resident progression and graduation. In addition\, I will outline an approach to using the data for enhancing national curricula within a specialty.\n\nBio: Dr. Hamstra is responsible for oversight and leadership regarding research in Milestones and assessment systems that inform decisions around resident physician progression and board eligibility. Dr. Hamstra works with medical subspecialty societies\, program director organizations\, the American Board of Medical Specialties\, and specialty certification boards. His research addresses medical education broadly\, including competency assessment for residency training programs\, and developing administrative support for educational scholarship within academic health settings. Prior to joining the ACGME\, Dr. Hamstra was at the University of Michigan\, the University of Ottawa\, and the University of Toronto Department of Surgery. He has also worked closely with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada on developing policies regarding competency-based medical education for graduate medical education. Dr. Hamstra received his PhD in sensory neuroscience from York University in Toronto in 1994.

Seating is first come\, first served.\n\n“The function of art is to shake us out of our complacency and comfort\,” says Yvonne Rainer\, whose avant-garde performances and films have agitated audiences for 50 years. Since co-founding New York’s influential Judson Dance Theater\, Rainer’s boundary-crossing art has been labeled in many ways: feminist\, conceptual\, post-modern\, political. 'Feelings Are Facts: The Life of Yvonne Rainer' (2015\, Written and Directed by Jack Walsh\, 82 min) examines the contradictions and creativity of this remarkable provocateur—still performing at age 80—and raises the question\, what does it mean to be an avant-garde artist today? \n \nYvonne Rainer exploded onto the performance scene in the early 1960s\, a protégé of John Cage and Merce Cunningham\, boldly pursuing a minimalist aesthetic\, using everyday\, often random movements that confounded critics. At Judson\, she collaborated with the rule-breaking artists of her generation: Robert Rauschenberg\, Trisha Brown\, Steve Paxton\, Lucinda Childs\, and Meredith Monk. With foundational works like “Trio A\,” Rainer radically altered the vocabulary of modern dance forever. \n \nIn the 1970s\, Rainer turned from performance to filmmaking\, bringing both humorous storytelling and dense theory to seven independent features. As she investigated subjects like political power\, terrorism\, lesbian sexuality\, and breast cancer\, the labels again poured forth. Were her films “difficult” or “accessible?” Funny or frustrating? After 25 years of filmmaking and encouraged by dancers including Mikhail Baryshnikov\, Rainer\, in her 60s\, returned to choreography once again to make courageous\, unpredictable dances. 'Feelings Are Facts' presents Rainer from her revolutionary roots to her tireless current explorations\, breaking rules and challenging audiences no matter what decade she finds herself in.\n \nFollowing the film\, University of Michigan professors will discuss their reflections on the film. Participants include moderator Peter Sparling\, Rudolf Arnheim Distinguished Professor of Dance and Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Dance\; with panelists Diane Kirkpatrick\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Art History Emerita\; Jessica Fogel\, Professor of Dance\; and Holly Hughes\, Professor of Art and Design and Theatre & Drama.\n\nThis special presentation is brought to you by The Ann Arbor Film Festival\, University of Michigan Museum of Art\, and University of Michigan Dance Department.

Activists from all points of the political spectrum\, even the President of the United States himself\, are turning to beloved cultural objects to stake a claim for their differing beliefs in a politically fraught moment. Black athletes are taking a knee. Anti-immigration voters are rallying for a wall. Long-standing Confederate monuments are coming down.\n\nWhat is at stake in the ways we understand culture and cultural conflict? High Stakes Culture is a new series\, presented by the Institute for the Humanities and the Humanities Collaboratory\, that brings humanities perspectives to bear on current debates. Join us as we ask: How and why does culture matter so much now?
