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:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Sleep Deprivation: Habits\, Solutions\, and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic. Since the invention of the light bulb\, we have obtained less sleep than our ancestors\, prioritizing work\, school\, socializing\, sports\, screen time – just about everything – over sleep. Sleep is viewed as compressible\, something that can be made up at any time\, but rarely is. Most believe this poses little risk. Unfortunately\, they could not be more wrong.\n\nThe truth is\, an adequate amount of good-quality sleep is critical to good health. Lack of sleep leads to deadly crashes\, reduces productivity\, and harms quality of life. Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD\, depression\, heart attack\, stroke\, arrhythmia\, heart failure\, and early death.\n\nThis Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation. Learn how sleep works\, why it is important\, and what bad sleep habits are. Hear solutions you can start tonight to sleep better for the rest of your life. Understand strategies to help family and friends improve their sleep. Learn to advocate for the sleep health of your community. This Teach-Out is intended to connect learners worldwide to the University of Michigan in conversation around sleep deprivation.\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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach- Out Series: Free Speech in Journalism
DESCRIPTION:A free press is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, democratic society. Yet public trust in journalism has hit historic lows in recent years and journalists have recently been openly maligned for their work. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the roles and responsibilities of journalists in a free society. Why is the concept of a free press written into the First Amendment? How are the rights of journalists threatened? Is this a unique moment in history? How have new modes of reporting\, such as social media and citizen journalism\, made the press more vulnerable? And\, finally\, what are the broader societal implications of a restricted and diminished press?\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.

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.

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:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: DRAWING CODES: EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOLS OF ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on-view March 7 - 28\n\nEmerging technologies of design and production have opened up new ways to engage with traditional practices of architectural drawing. 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.

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:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

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:Presentation:Developmental Area Brown Bag - Examining Differences Within Low-Income\, Highly-Educated Families
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Past research in developmental psychology has often focused on families with a relatively strong relation between parental education and family income (i.e.\, low education and low income or high education and high income). Both education and income play an important role for children’s development\, particularly on academic achievement\, but their specific mechanisms remain understudied. The purpose of the current study is to examine heterogeneity within low-income yet highly-educated families. In particular\, I examine possible explanations for why these families are low income. Second\, I examine family’s income trajectories over time in order to differentiate between families experiencing chronic or transient poverty. I will finally discuss the implications of this research in a broader context. \n\nBio: Lauren Tighe is a fifth-year doctoral candidate in Developmental Psychology and Social Work. Broadly\, her research focuses on the complexities of socioeconomic status and social inequality across the lifespan. She has a BA and an MSW from the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Galaxy Cluster Cosmology with the Dark Energy Survey
DESCRIPTION:Constraining LambdaCDM cosmology with galaxy cluster abundance is one of the fundamental goals of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Many thousands of clusters out to redshift 0.65 have been identified in DES data. Weak lensing and multi-wavelength studies with X-ray and cosmic microwave background observations are performed to provide inputs to the cosmology analysis. A cosmology pipeline that considers various systematic effects such as cluster projections and mis-centering is used to derive constraints on LambdaCDM cosmology parameters. In this talk\, I will present current progress on DES galaxy cluster cosmology analyses as well as discuss future improvements.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Distinguished Speaker. Making Postcolonial Bodies: Tales from An\"Other\" Enlightenment
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores how science and religion come together in in contemporary Hindu nationalism to create a very particular and powerful biopolitical imaginary. Religious nationalists have selectively\, and strategically\, used rhetoric from both science and Hinduism\, modernity and orthodoxy\, western and eastern thought to build a powerful but potentially dangerous vision of a Hindu nation. With aspirations for a global and modern Hinduism\, scientific and religious practices in contemporary India are inextricably interconnected and result in fluid processes and practices of both institutions. The case of India reminds us about both the transnational stakes of science as well as the local instantiations that challenge enlightenment narratives of reason and unreason. Ultimately to understand contemporary technoscience in India\, we need new epistemological and methodological tools\, and story-making practices to make visible the many phantasmogoric natural and cultural worlds within.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Working as a Designer in Tech
DESCRIPTION:Being a designer in technology can take many different forms\, and while there are some similarities between careers\, each path also has its own skill set and unique qualities. Join us at Atomic Object to hear from four women each performing different roles as designers in tech.\n\nThe Panelists:\nLani Chisnell\, Co-Owner & Creative Director | Boxcar Studio\nLani is part-owner\, information architect and creative director at Boxcar Studio\, a web design agency in Ann Arbor specializing in non-profits and higher education. She holds her Master's degree in Information and Library Science from the University of Michigan\, and worked at Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village and Borders corporate office before starting Boxcar. When she's not designing\, she's dreaming of living off-grid with goats\, or working on her webcomic\, The Flock. She likes dogs. A lot.\n\nStefanie Mitchell\, Marketing Specialist | S. Mitchell Marketing\nStefanie Mitchell is the Founder & Marketing Specialist at S. Mitchell Marketing\, an agency that helps brands grow their business by leveraging digital platforms. As an introvert\, Stefanie developed a natural affection for social media and blogging\, which led to her career as a digital marketer. When she's not online\, Stefanie spends her time mentoring youth in Washtenaw County\, raising her 8 year-old daughter\, and binging on Reese's.\n\nAlina Bochkacheva\, Product Designer | Duo Security\nAlina got her degree in computer science. At her first job doing front-end development\, she discovered a new field of user experience design. She realized that this is what makes products the best of the best. She started spending more time designing interfaces and testing them with users\, moving away from coding. By now\, she has designed for EDU customers\, social media\, and now solving hard problems in cyber security space at Duo Security. After her work day is done\, Alina enjoys chilling out with her corgi\, Argyle.\n\nLauren League\, 3D Digital Artist | University of Michigan Department of Science & Engineering\nPart designer\, part developer\, Lauren's skillset lies at the intersection of technology\, design\, and behavioral psychology. In 2014 she earned a dual bachelor's degree in design and psychology from the University of Michigan. In the years since\, her career has been extraordinarily focused on UI design and code for the web. She lives for designing and building sites to work more efficiently\, and have a knack for identifying and avoiding rabbit holes. Outside of work\, Lauren thoroughly enjoys cooking\, backpacking through the wilderness\, and painting colorful medical art.
