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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Metastructures\, a metamaterial inspired concept\, are structures with distributed vibration absorbers. In automotive and aerospace industries\, it is critical to have low levels of vibrations while also using lightweight materials. Previous work has shown that metastructures are effective at mitigating vibrations\, but do not consider the effects of mass. This work considers mass by comparing a metastructure to a baseline structure of equal mass with no absorbers. Results show that it is possible to obtain a favorable vibration response without adding additional mass to the structure. Experimental prototypes of the metastructures are printed using a 3D printer which uses polymer materials\; these materials exhibit viscoelastic properties which influence the damping inherent in the materials. The frequency and temperature dependent complex modulus of these materials is measured and modeled using the Golla-Hughes-McTavish model. Lastly\, the concept of adding active vibration control to a metastructure to get additional vibration suppression is explored. This is done by adding piezoelectric materials to the metastructure and utilizing a positive position feedback control law to further reduce vibrations. \n\n\nPublications\n\nJournal Publications\n\n1.

Some of her areas of focus include how individuals make financial decisions\, what influences charitable and philanthropic giving\, and bargaining and negotiation. She currently serves as the Dean of the College of Social Science at Michigan State University\, and an MSU Foundation Professor of Economics. \n\nBehavioral economics uses psychology to help explain and predict economic decisions. The impact of this area has been recognized in a series of recent Nobel prizes (Thaler 2017\, Roth 2012\, Ostrom 2009\, Kahneman 2002\, Smith 2002). \nThis lecture will describe the foundations of behavioral economics\, and will illustrate \nthe principles involved using examples of research on charitable giving and \nenvironmentally-conscious behaviors. \n\nThis is the second in a six-lecture series. The subject is Behavioral and Social Sciences: Real World Applications. The next lecture will be March 22\, 2018. The title is Looking Into The Minds of Managers and Consumers.

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.

Allergens are something that allergic bodies (over)react to (to varying degrees)\, but they can also become more than that. Individuals with experience of severe food allergies tend to be attuned to the presence of their allergens in their wider environments. Through embodied memory and affective imagination\, allergens become more than a substance\, protein or material: they become agents that are enacted through affective meshworks (Ingold 2011). This talk looks at the ways in which people dealing with severe food allergies develop and enact an embodied skill-set\, built on embodied memory\, affective imagination and their surrounding environment\, that is enacted to mitigate the risk of severe reactions. \n \nEmma E. Cook is a social anthropologist with interests ranging from gender\, the body\, food\, health\, risk\, emotion\, and affect. Her current research cross-culturally explores the social\, embodied and affective experiences of food allergies in Japan and the UK\, and is funded by a JSPS Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C).\n\nCosponsored by the Science\, Technology\, and Society Program.

This project explores how the personal experience of repression may change the political attitudes of survivors and their descendants in two distinct and competing ways. First\, experiences of repression could engender empathy toward other victims\, making survivors of repression (and their descendants) more supportive of oppressed outgroups. On the other hand\, experiences of repression could heighten levels of fear such that the future security of the group becomes paramount. This could make these individuals less supportive of other repressed groups\, if they believe these groups constitute some type of threat. In this study\, we explore these two divergent effects in the context of the Jewish experience of the Holocaust and their commitment to the abstract principle of ‘never again.’ Specifically\, we use a survey experiment among American Jews (including survivors\, descendants\, and those with no family connection to the Holocaust)\, priming empathy or threat considerations and then measuring support for US acceptance of Syrian refugees\, and other outgroup political attitudes.

Through a combination of solvothermal synthesis\, solid-state to solid-state transformations\, and in situ Raman spectroscopy\, proposed mechanisms of formation (along with their synthetic consequences) of select indium-derived SBUs will be presented. Additionally\, the non-covalent interactions involved in solution-phase sorptive extraction of pharmaceuticals and heavy metals (Pb and Cs) by select MOFs will be examined. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nDoug Genna (Youngstown State University) UID:50281-11701586@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50281 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180312T150541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Abraham and Thelma Zwerdling Lecture DESCRIPTION:Why Does Education Reduce Crime?\n\nResearch on the economics of crime demonstrates that a beneficial\, unintended consequence of education policies that raise the school leaving age is reduced criminality. In this lecture\, I consider the way in which these crime reductions come about by focussing in detail on how such dropout age policies have scope to alter the shape of the crime-age profile. US evidence from a sequence of state-level reforms enacted in the 1980 to 2010 time period\, and Australian evidence from an earning or learning reform from the 2000s\, shows that these policies significantly alter crime-age profiles. The observed change in the shape is consistent with there being both a temporary incapacitation effect and a more sustained crime reducing effect. These combine to generate sizable crime reductions from school dropout age policy reforms. In contrast to previous research on earlier US reforms this does not arise solely as a result of education improvements\, and so the evidence of a longer run effect is interpreted as one of dynamic incapacitation.

Herman\nSolar Electric Propulsion (SEP) Project Ion Propulsion System Lead\nNASA Glenn Research Center\n\nFor missions beyond low Earth orbit\, spacecraft size and mass can be dominated by onboard chemical propulsion systems and propellants that may constitute more than 50 percent of spacecraft mass. This impact can be substantially reduced through the utilization of Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) due to its significantly higher specific impulse. Studies performed for NASA’s Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD) and Science Mission Directorate (SMD) have demonstrated that a 40 kW-class SEP capability can be enabling for both near term and future architectures and science missions. Since 2012 NASA has been developing a 14 kW Hall thruster electric propulsion string that can serve as the building block for a 40 kW-class SEP capability. NASA continues to evolve a beyond low-Earth orbit human exploration approach and\, where practical\, in a manner involving international\, academic\, and industry partners. This seminar will provide an overview of the current NASA human exploration vision and challenges focusing on the implementation of electric propulsion on the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE)\, which is planned to be the first element of a Lunar Orbital Platform – Gateway. The seminar will also provide overviews of electric propulsion and the current NASA high-power electric propulsion system developments.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Dan Herman received Undergrad and Graduate Degrees and\, eventually\, his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 2005 under the tutelage of Prof. Alec Gallimore. He has been performing electric propulsion system research and development for 17 years. His thesis focused on internal ion thruster discharge plasma characterizations to understand and mitigate discharge cathode erosion in NSTAR and NEXT ion thrusters. He has been employed by the NASA Glenn \n\nResearch Center (GRC) in the Electric Propulsion Systems Branch for 12 years leading electric propulsion R&D projects. He performed critical verification test activities for the NEXT ion thruster system development including leading the long-duration wear test and system testing. He led the NASA GRC and JPL in-house 12.5kW Hall thruster system development and contract oversight for the Advanced Electric Propulsion system (AEPS) contract.\nHe is currently the Electric Propulsion Subsystem Lead for NASA’s Solar Electric Propulsion Project that is developing\, qualifying\, and demonstrating on-orbit an advanced\, high-power electric propulsion system capability that is enabling to an affordable human exploration path to Mars. He is also the Electric Propulsion Subsystem Lead for the Power and Propulsion Element planned to be the first element of the Lunar Orbital Platform – Gateway.

Dr. Celina Turchi on the Zika Crisis in Brazil: A Case Study of Interdisciplinary Approaches to Public Health DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, a mysterious increase in the incidence of microcephaly in northeast Brazil alarmed health authorities\, physicians\, scientists\, and the public. The spike in the number of mothers who gave birth to babies with this profound neonatal malformation was mostly concentrated in the poorest areas of the country. Responding to a request from the Ministry of Health\, Celina Turchi\, a physician and epidemiologist at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz)\, the leading institution of biomedical sciences and public health in Brazil\, immediately organized a collaborative network of epidemiologists\, infectious diseases specialists\, clinicians\, reproductive healthcare practitioners\, pediatricians\, neurologists and biologists to identify the causes of the epidemic. These studies established the connections between microcephaly and infection by the Zika virus\, a virus transmitted by the Aedes genus\, mainly Aedes aegypti\, and passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus. In 2016\, the World Health Organization declared the Zika virus to be the cause of a global public health emergency. \n\nThe response Turchi led to the Zika crisis offers a model of how collaborative groups of scientists and interdisciplinary research can meet the needs of the population\, especially the most vulnerable\, in societies stratified by social and economic inequality. Her leadership has been internationally recognized. In 2016\, she was considered by Nature International Weekly Journal of Science as one of the ten most important scientists in the world\; and in 2017\, Time magazine listed Turchi a pioneer in her field and one of the world's 100 Most Influential People.\n \nIn her talk at the University of Michigan\, Turchi will discuss her experience in addressing the Zika crisis\, including her ongoing work with the interdisciplinary Microcephaly Epidemics Research Group.\n\nFor more information or to contact Dr. Turchi\, please email Elizabeth (Bebete) Martins at bmartins@umich.edu UID:50249-11690345@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50249 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Discussion,International,Lacs Featured,Latin America,Lecture,Medicine,Public Health LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - East Conference Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180302T161952 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T190000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Citius\, Altius\, Fortius: Mapping the Olympics DESCRIPTION:Summoning the heroes!

DESCRIPTION:In developing countries\, the state often has limited capacity to effectively target transfers. We examine the effects of enhanced authentication technology on the de facto performance of India’s largest targeted transfer scheme\, the Public Distribution System. We conduct an experiment at scale with the state government of Jharkhand\, randomizing the rollout of biometric authentication in large units and within a representative sample. In contrast with press coverage\, we find that this reform did not significantly or substantially reduce legitimate beneficiaries access’ to benefits on average\, though it did raise transaction costs slightly. In (instructive) contrast with our own work elsewhere\, however\, we also find little evidence that better authentication reduced leakage.

However\, these projects are generally isolated\, often resource intensive\, and rarely have impacts beyond the original context of their development. Understanding more about how to foster and sustain science education reform including support for the implementation of new materials in diverse classrooms is widely recognized as a wicked problem. I coordinate the Quantitative Undergraduate Biology Education & Synthesis (QUBES) project which acts as a scientific gateway for biology education reform by providing access to community specific tools\, opportunities for collaboration\, and data resources. We have integrated a set of social norms with our technical infrastructure to promote teaching scholarship through faculty communities of practice\, publication of open education resources\, and impact metrics. This suite of resources and tools has been embraced by a broad interdisciplinary consortium of projects\, professional societies\, institutions\, and organizations who are vested in the development of biology students’ quantitative reasoning skills. This seminar will share findings from our ongoing work in promoting reform uptake and describe next steps including an emphasis on teaching with data and building data literacy skills.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/HQbx0SFJn4U UID:49172-11386605@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49172 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment,Natural Sciences,Research LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170901T225907 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Public lecture by DESCRIPTION:Daphne Brooks (professor of African American Studies and Theater Studies at Yale University) will discuss her latest work in a public lecture hosted by the American Studies Consortium.

White supremacists have sought to bring hateful rhetoric and ideas to the heart of campus\, igniting difficult conversations about speech in our classrooms\, on our campus\, in our virtual spaces\, and within our broader social interactions. \n\nWe affirm that white supremacy and racism have no place on our campus. Allowing hate to flourish at U-M contributes to a culture of fear for members of our community. As a campus\, we must take action—using our shared knowledge to learn from one another\, build coalitions\, and hold our institution accountable for building a just and inclusive environment. \n\nPlease join us—students\, faculty\, and staff—for a campus-wide teach-in as we share knowledge\, unpack our experiences\, and work toward reclaiming our campus. This teach-in will explore how we can mobilize\, engage in activism\, and discuss the role of white supremacy and speech. We also seek to uplift the voices and experiences of students\, providing a space to dialogue openly with faculty\, staff\, and administrators in an attempt to bridge gaps and break down barriers. We welcome you to join us for all or part of the event (4-10 PM)\, which will feature a keynote and a variety of concurrent workshops and discussions led by members of our community. \n\nThis teach-in is part of a larger series on 2018 Speech and Inclusion: Recognizing Conflict and Building Tools for Engagement.\n\nSponsored by the Office of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion\, the National Center for Institutional Diversity\, Student Life\, the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan\, the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.\n\nRSVP: myumi.ch/LBd28\nLearn more about the teach-in: myumi.ch/JgV8R\nLearn more about the series: myumi.ch/Jl1DR UID:50513-11790992@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50513 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Inclusion,Social Justice LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180220T094016 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UROP - Creating Posters with PowerPoint DESCRIPTION:Creating presentation posters can be a big challenge – arranging the layout is often more difficult than creating the content!

We estimate the model using a comprehensive dataset of the 5\,332\,353 votes cast on 33\,262 proposals from 3\,844 portfolio companies from 2010 to 2015 by 3\,617 mutual funds that in total hold almost 80% of mutual fund industry assets. The two dimensions of funds’ corporate governance preferences reflect the role of the two leading proxy advisors. Mutual funds are clustered into three ‘parties’—the Managerialist Party\, the Shareholder Intervention Party\, and the Shareholder Veto Party—that follow distinctive philosophies of corporate governance and shareholders’ role. We use our methodology in turn to construct measures of the individual distributions of preferences of public companies’ shareholder bases. Our preference measures for mutual funds and for public companies’ shareholder bases generate a range of insights about the broader system of corporate governance.

They played for dances and accompanied singers\, whether in churches or theaters. Harps were the principal basso continuo instruments into the eighteenth century. Early instruction books for harp printed in Spain are filled with notation for the popular dances of the day\, dances whose patterns circulated widely. What can we learn from these dance forms for the working harp player\, beyond the dances themselves? Largely unadorned in rhythm and melody\, compared to dance settings for guitar and keyboard\, they serve as the basis for other instrumental settings and as accompaniments for songs. They also inform us about both the social role of the harp and its effectiveness within the basso continuo ensemble.\n\nChrista Patton\, historical harpist and early wind specialist\, has performed throughout the Americas\, Europe\, and Japan with many of today’s top early music ensembles\, including Piffaro the Renaissance Band\, Boston Camerata\, The King’s Noyse\, Folger Consort\, Newberry Consort\, Apollo’s Fire\, Parthenia and ARTEK. As a baroque harpist specializing in 17th-century opera\, Christa has performed with New York City Opera\, Wolf Trap Opera\, and Tafelmusik. She teaches on the faculty of Rutgers University and the Graduate Center at CUNY\, and is musical director of the Baroque Opera Workshop at Queens College. Her artistry can be heard on the Lyrachord\, Dorian\, Navona and ATMA labels. Sponsored by the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments and the Department of Musicology.

She is an advocate of queer and transgender rights and government transparency. During her time as an intelligence analyst for the U.S. Department of Defense\, Manning publicly disclosed classifed documents that she felt revealed human rights abuses and corruption connected to the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan during her deployment in Iraq in 2009. Upon being sentenced to 35 years for leaking government documents\, she publicly identifed as a trans woman and asserted her legal rights to medical therapy. After serving seven years in military prison\, President Barack Obama commuted her sentence\; she was released in 2017. Heather Dewey-Hagborg is a bio-political artist and educator. In her creative collaboration with Chelsea Manning\, Probably Chelsea (2017)\, Dewey-Hagborg received cheek swabs and hair clippings from Manning to create DNA-derived sculptural portraits. The work illustrates a multitude of ways in which DNA can be interpreted.\n\nThis Penny Stamps Speaker Series event is co-presented with the Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, the Office of Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion\, and Munger Graduate Residences\, with additional support from the Rackham Graduate School\, the Knight-Wallace Fellows\, and the Dissonance Event Series.

DESCRIPTION:Tracking consistency and change in climate data\, habitation sites\, resource availability\, and lithic datasets during the early Holocene (ca. 10\,500–8\,500 years ago) in the American Midwest and Great Basin region\, my research suggests that improved access to specific resources led to increased sedentism among Late Paleo-Indian lithic societies. When looked at through the lens of modern climate change\, these findings suggest that we can predict an increase in human mobility and a consequent escalation in conflicts over resources as modern societies adapt to socioeconomic problems brought about and exasperated by a warming planet.\n\nMichigan Archaeological Society lectures are free and open to the public. \n\nLearn more about the Michigan Archaeological Society: \nhttp://www.miarch.org/ \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this lecture\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) as soon as possible.

As we all reach for our smartphones to gaze upon the manufactured perfection of the lives of those we admire\, we lose sight of what makes our own lives important.\n\nNashville's Langhorne Slim interlaces this theme throughout his new album. \"Everyone's searchin' for something better around every corner\, but it's already right here\,\" Langhorne says. \"We're all born whole -- through livin' we fall apart...\"\n\nThe songs on Langhorne Slim's newest album\, Lost At Last Vol. 1\, out November 10\, 2017\, challenge the idea of social rigidity: the attitude that there's a \"correct\" way for us to live and a side we should be on. He urges the world to see through the idea that by following that path and focusing only on fitting the mold\, one will have lived a good life. He re-interprets the sound of the free-spirited yet vulnerable everyman heard on 2015's The Spirit Moves and brings forth anew the call for us to abandon \"the fold\" and re-connect with ourselves and each other.\n\nLanghorne Slim is no stranger to the world of popular culture and commercial success. Lost At Last Vol. 1is his sixth full-length album\; throughout his career he has been defined by reflective songwriting and passionate delivery. Slim's last album cycle alone garnered him his third appearance on Conan O'Brien's late-night show\, as well as a feature on CBS Saturday Morning\, and the highest charting debut of his career. O'Brien\, a personal fan of Slim stated\, \"After one listen\, I became an instant\, almost obsessive fan.\" Slim has consistently toured on his own\, and has appeared on extensive worldwide runs throughout his career with artists such as The Lumineers\, The Avett Brothers\, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals\, Gregory Alan Isakov\, Josh Ritter\, The Devil Makes Three\, Sara Watkins\, and more. He's also appeared on many festival stages\, such as Bonnaroo\, Newport Folk Festival\, Outside Lands\, Lollapalooza\, and the Philadelphia Folk Festival.\n\nLost At Last Vol. 1 is a record that Langhorne wanted to do differently from the start. \"Almost immediately after recording our last record\, The Spirit Moves\,\" Slim says\, \"I felt a deep desire to make another album. One that would take a step sideways in order to take a step forward\; one that would be very personal and raw...in the making of this record\, I made a deal with myself to trust my own voice and vision more than I ever have before\, and to go willingly wherever it led.\"\n\nThe title alone reflects his need to pen a great wealth of songs\, as if the thoughts and inspiration took on a life of their own and just needed to come out. Recorded over the span of around six months in New Orleans\, Los Angeles\, and Catskill\, NY\, and clocking in at about 34 minutes\, it's a short but intense listening experience. Several songs are under two or three minutes long\, but they pack vivid imagery into concise packages in a way that shows a significant diversion from the songwriting on his previous records. Slim keeps his record-making in the family with this release\; longtime band member Malachi DeLorenzo co-produced the record along with Kenny Siegal\, and DeLorenzo also mixed several tracks in addition to playing drums on the record.\n\nSlim reflects truths that we may or may not want to admit\; in \"Life is Confusing\,\" he muses that \"life is confusing\, and people are insane.\" He stands resolute in the face of trial: .\"..you could break my heart\, but you'll never break me\,\" he sings on \"Never Break.\" He calls upon the listener during this time fraught with challenges to unplug from the trajectory our culture has deemed is \"right\" and find strength in our own vulnerability\, in our own instincts. \"We look to our phones\, drugs\, sex whatever to find ourselves when it's already right here\,\" Slim says. These songs join in the rallying call for the wild ones in us all.
