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.

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.

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.

It moves through networks of power and capital\, through corporate establishments\, governmental alliances\, international organizations\, transnational social movements\, and media and technology. These networks of power deconstruct and restructure forms and relations of production—emergent and old. They also produce new social and material assemblages within which spatial knowledge is constantly re-visited and re-organized. The resulting socio-technical formations ultimately reconfigure both the products of\, and knowledge within\, the fields of architecture\, planning\, and affiliated disciplines.\n\nHow do we understand the networks of power and knowledge and the implicit human condition that sustains and transforms architecture and planning practices? At a juncture where our logic and systems of production are becoming digitized and automatized at an unprecedented pace\, and when our understanding of the networks and technologies of information are increasingly inseparable from questions of hardware and software\, of the accumulation and classification of electronic data\, the human mediation of knowledge acquires a new significance. The global phenomenon of post-truth politics equally urges us to re-scrutinize the Foucauldian premise of “knowledge as power.”\n\nIn this highly networked era of the Anthropocene\, we want to explore the interactions between people\, ideas\, institutions\, infrastructures and material objects\, especially as these pertain to architecture and planning knowledge\, in order to reflect on issues including but not limited to: political economies\, ecologies and geographies\, poverty\, inequality\, warfare\, mass re/dis-location of people\, invasion and occupation of lands and territories.\n\nConference Keynote Friday\, March 9: Kazys Varnelis\, PhD\, Director of the Urban Architecture Lab UID:50332-11710226@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50332 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Graduate Students,Urban Planning LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180309T181538 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180309T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180309T100000 SUMMARY:Other:Thesis Defense: \"A quaternary Lewis base reductive aldol towards isopalhinine A\" DESCRIPTION: \n \n \nYvonne DePorre (Advisor: Corinna Schindler) UID:50505-11785336@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50505 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180529T094952 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180309T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180309T223000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Workshop on Poverty and Inequality DESCRIPTION:This workshop series\, sponsored by Poverty Solutions\, is designed to engage PhD students in an ongoing dialogue on poverty in America and to explore poverty-related research. \n\nFall 2018 speakers and dates TBD.\n\nInterested students are invited to contact Poverty Solutions Administrative Coordinator Damien Siwik at dsiwik@umich.edu.

The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) — a network infrastructure where physical devices are embedded with software\, sensors and actuators using network connectivity to enable the collection and exchange of data\, and the execution of actions — has transformed manufacturing systems by integrating the manufacturing system with sensors and actuators on the factory floor. Thus far\, most of the work on IoT-enabled manufacturing systems has focused on the integration of the large volumes of data gathered with IoT-devices and their transformation into useful information. To become smarter\, manufacturing systems need to close the loop and transform IoT data into manufacturing knowledge and useful actions. Closing the loop will allow manufacturing systems to become more responsive to market changes and customer desires\, and will improve production quality\, asset utilization\, and profitability. To realize these goals\, the future of IoT-enabled manufacturing requires closer collaboration between experts in control\, manufacturing\, and information systems. This talk will provide an overview of recent work in the Barton/Tilbury Research Groups at the University of Michigan focused on Smart Manufacturing\, and identify new opportunities for control engineers within the manufacturing sector.

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.

Taylor has received the Lannan Foundation’s Cultural Freedom Award for an Especially Notable Book.\n\nTaylor’s research examines racial inequality\, social movements\, and public policy\, including American housing policies. Dr. Taylor is currently working on a manuscript titled “Race for Profit: Black Housing and the Urban Crisis of the 1970s”\, which looks at the federal government's promotion of single- family homeownership in Black communities after the urban rebellions of the 1960s.

For instance\, the outcome may be disease status and the variables may be hundreds of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms on the genome. In this talk\, we develop an entirely new read of the knockoffs framework of Barber and Candès (2015)\, which proposes a general solution to perform variable selection under rigorous type-I error control\, without relying on strong modeling assumptions. We show how to apply this solution to a rich family of problems where the distribution of the covariates can be described by a hidden Markov model (HMM). In particular\, we develop an exact and efficient algorithm to sample knockoff copies of an HMM\, and then argue that combined with the knockoffs selective framework\, they provide a natural and powerful tool for performing principled inference in genome-wide association studies with guaranteed FDR control. Finally\, our methodology is applied to several datasets aimed at studying the Crohn's disease and several continuous phenotypes\, e.g. levels of cholesterol. Time permitting\, we will discuss the robustness of our methods. \n\nThis is joint work with many people who will be all highlighted during the lecture.\n\nBio: Emmanuel Candès is the Barnum-Simons Chair in Mathematics and Statistics\, a professor of electrical engineering (by courtesy) and a member of the Institute of Computational and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford University. Earlier\, Candès was the Ronald and Maxine Linde Professor of Applied and Computational Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology. His research interests are in computational harmonic analysis\, statistics\, information theory\, signal processing and mathematical optimization with applications to the imaging sciences\, scientific computing and inverse problems. He received his Ph.D. in statistics from Stanford University in 1998. Candès has received several awards including the Alan T. \nWaterman Award from NSF\, which is the highest honor bestowed by the National Science Foundation\, and which recognizes the achievements of early-career scientists. He has given over 60 plenary lectures at major international conferences\, not only in mathematics and statistics but in many other areas as well including biomedical imaging and solid-state physics. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2014.\n\n*Welcome reception at 11:00 am in the Statistics Lounge\, 450 West Hall\n** Buffet reception immediately following in 337 West Hall (Don Meyer Commons) UID:48867-11317271@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48867 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180119T140454 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180309T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180309T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Ruth Gruber\, Photojournalist\" Art Exhibition DESCRIPTION:\"Ruth Gruber\, Photojournalist\" celebrates the remarkable life\, vision\, and heroic tenacity of a 20th-century pioneer and trailblazer.

The Unfilled Vacuum: ASEAN and American Decline in Southeast Asia DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, Southeast Asian states fear that the United States is an unreliable ally. This feeling has been growing since the end of the Cold War. In the 1990s\, the US and Southeast Asian clashed over the “Asian values debate” and predatory American actions during the Asian economic crisis. In the 2000s\, Southeast Asia was alarmed by growing American imperial overstretch in the aftermath of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The inability of the Obama administration to “rebalance” American foreign policy towards the Asia Pacific was a further cause for concern. Today\, the erratic behavior of the Trump administration is adding to regional instability and uncertainty. A security vacuum is opening in Southeast Asia. China wants to fill this vacuum\, but it is distrusted in the larger region. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) sees one of its purposes as shaping the regional security environment. Can it fill the hole left by the changing American regional role?

Such scalars are often taken to have Higgs-like couplings to SM fermions in order to evade stringent flavor bounds\, e.g. by assuming Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV)\, which leads to a rather characteristic phenomenology. Here we describe an alternative approach\, based on an effective field theory framework for a new scalar that dominantly couples to one specific SM fermion mass eigenstate. A simple flavor hypothesis\, similar in spirit to MFV\, ensures adequate suppression of new flavor changing neutral currents. We consider radiatively generated flavor changing neutral currents and scalar potential terms in such theories\, demonstrating that they are often suppressed by small Yukawa couplings\, and also describe the role of CP symmetry. We further demonstrate that such scalars can have masses that are significantly below the electroweak scale while still being technically natural\, provided they are sufficiently weakly coupled to ordinary matter. In comparison to MFV\, our framework is rather versatile since a single (or a few) desired scalar couplings may be investigated in isolation. We illustrate this by discussing in detail the examples of an up-specific scalar mediator to dark matter and a muon-specific scalar that may address the muon anomalous magnetic moment discrepancy.

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.

Higgins DESCRIPTION:In the early 1960s in New York City\, the electronic composer James Tenney held a series of seminars on the offices of the Something Else Press. Working by day in the sound department of Bell Labs in New Jersey\, Tenney was tuned in to the emerging capabilities of FORTRAN\, a programming language\, for artists. Artists programmed early computer music\, graphics and poetry using Bell Labs mainframes with Tenney's inspired guidance. One of these projects\, by Fluxus artist Alison Knowles\, is called the House of Dust\, and resulted in a 2000 long sequence of iterative quatrains. The program for the house continues to inspire experiments in architecture\, poetry\, performance and sound. This lecture introduces the seminar and its many outcomes and the House of Dust and its many materials.

The mechanism is followed by an aftermarket\, that is\, a post-mechanism game played between the agent who acquired the good and third-party market participants. The designer has preferences over final outcomes\, but she cannot redesign the aftermarket. However\, she can influence its information structure by disclosing information elicited by the mechanism.\n\nI introduce a class of allocation and disclosure rules\, called cutoff rules\, that disclose information about the buyer’s type only by revealing information about the random threshold (cutoff) that she had to outbid to win the object. A rule is implementable regardless of the form of the aftermarket and the underlying distribution of types if and only if it is a cutoff rule. Cutoff mechanisms are tractable\, and admit an indirect implementation that often makes them easy to use in practice. I provide sufficient conditions for particularly simple designs\, such as a second-price auction with disclosure of the price\, to be optimal within the class of cutoff mechanisms.\n\nThe theory is illustrated with an application to the design of trading rules and post-transaction transparency in financial over-the-counter markets.

Both have deep waters devoid of oxygen\, have lower sulfur contents than the modern ocean\, and have biogeochemical cycles predominantly driven by microbes. Through two stratified and iron-rich lakes in Minnesota and Michigan\, my group is studying the significance of iron-based photosynthesis in primary productivity and its potential biosignatures\, methane production\, consumption and export in iron-rich (i.e. ferruginous) waters\, as well as primary and diagenetic mineral and isotopic signatures of these systems that are recorded in sediments. While our findings are relevant to Precambrian biogeochemistry\, I will present evidence that these small\, stratified ferruginous lakes might be fairly common in the Midwest\, and perhaps are becoming more so. Therefore\, our findings from monitoring these two lakes are also relevant to trends in our region’s water quality\, and the contribution of similar lakes to global greenhouse gas\, nutrient\, and metal cycles.

The Kieft Lab is interested in understanding how RNA can adopt diverse three-dimensional folds\, how those folds give rise to its many biological roles\, and how conformational changes confer RNA’s ability to regulate so many processes. We are particularly interested in viral RNAs\, which are fine-tuned by evolution to elegantly and powerfully interact with and manipulate the cellular machinery of the host cell\; these viral RNAs provide a “window” into the greater RNA world. In this presentation\, I will present some of our recent findings in regard to a viral RNA that adopts an unexpected tertiary structure. This RNA element undergoes programmed conformational changes that are triggered by its interactions with the host cell machinery and this is responsible for its unique function. This RNA may be a paradigm for novel modes of regulation linked to dynamic RNA conformational changes.

Seating is first come\, first served.\nIn the 1980s\, Japan’s strong trade surplus and currency were causing friction and antagonism overseas. In response\, three renowned Japanese artists—Ikko Tanaka\, Shigeo Fukuda\, and Kazumasa Nagai—took on the challenge of changing Japan’s global image through graphic design. These designers\, and others like them\, were passionate about fostering creative relationships with the international design community to enrich their theoretical and artistic practice and create an exchange with lasting impacts across geographic boundaries. On the occasion of the UMMA exhibition 'Red Circle: Designing Japan in Contemporary Posters\,' and to commemorate the gift of nearly 100 posters by the three artists from the DNP Foundation for Cultural Promotion\, UMMA’s Curator of Asian Art\, Natsu Oyobe\, will talk with Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo\, graphic designer and professor at the Stamps School of Art and Design\, about the significance of these artists and their global exchange in the field of graphic design\, as well as\, take a closer look at the powerful language of simple forms\, vivid color\, and humor that they employed to foster a deeper understanding of the different faces of Japan and its long cultural history.\n\nLead support for 'Red Circle' is provided by AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

Never Remember: Searching for Stalin's Gulags in Putin's Russia DESCRIPTION:The Gulag was a monstrous network of labor camps in the Soviet Union that held and killed millions of prisoners from the 1930s to the 1950s. More than half a century after the end of Stalinist terror\, the geography of the Gulag has been barely sketched and the number of its victims remains unknown. Has the Gulag been forgotten? Writer Masha Gessen and photographer Misha Friedman set out across Russia in search of the memory of the Gulag. They journey from Moscow to Sandarmokh\, a forested site of mass executions during Stalin’s Great Terror\; to the only Gulag camp turned into a museum\, outside of the city of Perm in the Urals\; and to Kolyma\, where prisoners worked in deadly mines in the remote reaches of the Far East. They find that in Vladimir Putin’s Russia\, where Stalin is remembered as a great leader\, Soviet terror has not been forgotten: it was never remembered in the first place. \n\nBooks by the authors will be available to purchase from Literati following the lecture. \n\nMasha Gessen is a Russian-American journalist and the best-selling biographer of Vladimir Putin. A staff writer at The New Yorker\, her work appears regularly in The New York Times and many other publications. She has published numerous books on topics including Putin’s Russia\, the protests of Pussy Riot\, and the Tsarnaev brothers who were responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings. Gessen is an outspoken critic of the re-imposition of totalitarian structures in Russia and a strong advocate for LGBTQ rights. She is a visiting professor at Amherst College and a resident of New York City. \n \nMisha Friedman is an award-winning photographer whose work is regularly featured in The New Yorker\, Time\, Der Spiegel\, Le Monde and The New York Times. Never Remember is Friedman’s third book. Previous work in Ukraine and Russia has covered corruption\, private lives of LGBTQ people\, and the faith of reforms.
