The installation of his work as a mural in a central public space on our campus is intended to provoke conversation in place of silence. Much reporting on Central America depicts the problem of gangs and violence as far away and impossible to solve\, and the victims and perpetrators of this violence as essentially alien. With the hashtag #NoHumanIsAlien\, the artist and organizers invite reflection on a crisis of violence in Central America that has been exacerbated\, and in important ways created\, by policies originating in the United States. We hope to spark and enrich debate on our campus about current immigration policies\, including the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status for Salvadoran migrants and the asylum claims of tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American children\, children who have fled the conditions depicted in Andino’s work. \n \nThis exhibit\, a large-scale comic strip along the halls of the second floor of Mason Hall\, will be open for viewing from March 19 - April 6\, 2018. \n \nJoin us for the opening reception with Germán Andino on March 26\, 2018 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm.

An Analysis of Panel Data From the MET Project DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nBuilding on prior research suggesting increases in the percent students of color and low-income students in a class is associated with overall lower quality instruction\, we use panel data to examine how teachers’ instruction changes given the different racial\, ethnic\, and socioeconomic status compositions of their classes. We analyze these associations along dimensions of the Classroom Assessment Scoring System. Results of fixed-effects regression analysis find that instruction is robust with respect to changes in classroom composition within teachers. This finding suggests that other factors such as teacher sorting or resource allocation likely account for the lower quality of instruction experienced by these student populations.

The project\, led by the Institute for the Humanities\, symbolizes the humanities in action\, and the empowerment that can be achieved through working together\, overcoming obstacles and divides\, and discovering creative solutions.\n\nMacmurtrie is an award winning artist\, renowned internationally for his large-scale robotic sculpture\, whose work combines materiality and robotics\, the visceral and conceptual. His artist residency and interdisciplinary project \"Border Crossers\" encourages investigation of borders as constructed entities\, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national\, architectural\, environmental\, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.\n\nIn February\, MacMurtrie and the students will launch the robotic sculpture during two \"performances\" and MacMurtrie will give a special Penny W. Stamps Lecture. The gallery exhibition will include large-scale drawings which serve as plans and maps for MacMurtrie's visionary Border Crossers. Life-size robotic models will also be presented in the exhibition in conversation with the drawings. The models\, built by the all-student team with MacMurtrie's guidance\, are prototypes for the project\, offering preliminary steps in the workshop and the process towards realizing the large scale robotic sculpture.\n\nChico MacMurtrie is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works\, an interdisciplinary creative collective located in Brooklyn\, NY. MacMurtrie/ARW have received numerous awards for their experimental new media artworks\, including five grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation Grant\, the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship\, VIDA Life 11.0\, and Prix Ars Electronica. Chico MacMurtrie was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2016.\n\nVisiting artist Chico MacMurtrie's residency and project is sponsored by the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with U-M Museum of Art\, Michigan Robotics\, Michigan Engineering\, School of Information\, Penny Stamps Speaker Series\, Stamps School of Art and Design\, and ArtsEngin.

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

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

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

They found that their classrooms were fundamentally transformed when they decided that the courses were not about specific factual content\, but rather about the skills students take away that are relevant to their lives and the world they inhabit. In their courses\, students rose to high expectations when instructors communicated confidence that students could reach those expectations and provided the resources needed. Furthermore\, with deliberate effort\, Dorf and LaVaque-Manty created explicitly inclusive courses to the benefit of all students. These kinds of changes make possible large courses that inspire students to say\, “This changed my life.”\n\nIn developing courses that tap into student creativity and imagination\, tools for teaching at scale (multiple choice quizzes\, auto-graded homework\, etc.) still play an important role. In order to make the more labor-intensive aspects of courses work at large scale\, it’s essential to staff these courses with a team of instructors and to balance the automated with the artisan. The presenters will discuss how they achieved this balance.\n\nIn the second hour\, participants will engage in a discussion of how to apply the principles that promote creativity\, imagination\, and inclusivity in their own courses. In particular\, we will consider how to make content relevant to students’ lives and their world\, how to plan for and assemble the resources needed\, and how to set expectations that are high enough\, but not so high that students get lost. We’ll also address the reasonable fear of failing to provide an adequate educational experience for students when making radical changes to your approach to a course.\n\nLunch provided UID:50451-11768331@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50451 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Professional Development LOCATION:Palmer Commons - 1013 Seminar Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180124T084857 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Fulbright U.S. Student Program Info Session for Study/Research DESCRIPTION:U-M Fulbright U.S. Student Program Advisors (FPA) will detail specific components of the Fulbright application and provide helpful tips on how to design your application.

The method is formulated for continuum spacetime of any dimension\, in real time and infinite volume\, and is thus complementary to other numerical methods\, such as the lattice. The method harnesses conformal symmetry\, but in a manner applicable to general\, non-conformal QFTs. Specifically\, the input is information about the UV CFT from which the QFT originates. The output is the physical IR QFT spectrum\, along with real-time\, infinite-volume correlation functions. I will discuss applications to 2D phi^4 theory\, where we have performed novel computations of correlation functions at any coupling\, such as the Zamolodchikov c-function along the full RG-flow. The 2D Ising model provides a highly-nontrivial cross-check of our numerics.

The simplest special case is Gauss' law of quadratic reciprocity. In the so called `regular\, self-dual' case much progress has been made in the roughly 40 years since Langlands made these conjectures. In these talks I will discuss recent progress in regular\, but non-self-dual case. In this case the automorphic forms in question can be realized as cohomology classes for arithmetic locally symmetric spaces\, i.e.\, quotients of symmetric spaces by discrete groups. Thus instead of the Langlands correspondence being a relationship between algebra and analysis\, it can be thought of as a relationship between algebra and topology. This realization of the Langlands correspondence is in many ways more concrete. It also admits to generalizations not envisioned by Langlands\, for instance relating mod p Galois representations with mod p cohomology classes.\n\nIn these talks I will describe the expected Langlands correspondence in the special cases of modular curves (an example of the `self-dual' case) and arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds (an example of the `non-self-dual' case). I will try both to present the general picture and to give numerical examples. I will also describe various recent theorems in the latter case due to Lan\, Harris\, Thorne and myself\; to Peter Scholze\; and to Allen\, Calegari\, Caraiani\, Gee\, Helm\, Le Hung\, Newton\, Scholze\, Thorne and myself.\n\nSponsored by the Rainich Lecture Series UID:50244-11690342@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50244 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate School,Lecture,Mathematics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180530T080833 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Introductory Techniques Seminars presented by The Michigan Center for Materials Characterization DESCRIPTION:This continuing series of seminars is designed to introduce potential users of our center to a range of the techniques that are employed with our instruments.

Open to all.\n\nLydia Davis\, who was awarded the Man Booker International Prize in 2013\, is an American writer noted for literary works of extreme brevity\, commonly called “flash fiction.” Davis is also a short story writer\, novelist\, essayist\, and translator from French and other languages\, and has produced several new translations of French literary classics\, including 'Swann’s Way' by Marcel Proust and 'Madame Bovary' by Gustave Flaubert. Her books include a novel\, 'The End of the Story' (1995)\, several full-length story collections—'Can’t and Won’t' (2014)\, 'Varieties of Disturbance' (2007)\, 'Samuel Johnson Is Indignant' (2002)\, 'Almost No Memory' (1997)\, and 'Break It Down' (1986)—and several small-press and limited-edition volumes.

In recent years\, less than 7% of domestic physics PhDs awarded nationwide have gone to students from underrepresented minority (URM) groups\, even though they make up 35% of the college age population. Increasing diversity in a physics PhD program can be difficult\, especially if the program receives a low number of “traditionally qualified” URM applicants. Inspired by successful STEM Bridge programs at San Francisco State\, Fisk-Vanderbilt\, and Michigan\, the Ohio State University MS-to-PhD Physics Bridge Program (OSU-BP) was established in late 2012 with unanimous faculty support to increase the pool of qualified applicants from underrepresented groups\, and accepted its first cohort of four Bridge students in August 2013. I will discuss activities and events that preceded and followed the creation of the OSU-BP\, which have coincided with an increase in the representation of URM students in the OSU Physics PhD program from less than 5% of domestic students in 2012 to almost 20% in autumn 2017. These include building a core group of committed faculty colleagues\, partnering with the American Physical Society Bridge Program for nationwide recruiting and other support\, working with colleagues in Physics Education Research (PER) to develop new graduate physics academic support programs\, and expanding holistic PhD admissions practices. I will also discuss on-going and future efforts\, opportunities\, and obstacles for increasing diversity in graduate programs at OSU and elsewhere. I would like to acknowledge the essential contributions of OSU Bridge Program Co-Director Jay Gupta\, PER colleagues Andrew Heckler and Chris Porter\, and many other colleagues who worked so hard to help these efforts succeed.\n UID:50367-11724549@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50367 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180315T120200 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T170000 SUMMARY:Rally / Mass Meeting:GLACE residential humanities program Mass Meeting DESCRIPTION:Come learn about this new\, interdisciplinary program.

Zajonc Collegiate Professorship in Psychology Inaugural Lecture - East and West: A Cultural Psychological Perspective DESCRIPTION:Please join Dean Andrew Martin in honoring Professor Shinobu Kitayama on his appointment to the Robert B. Zajonc Collegiate Professor of Psychology.\n\nThe study of culture in psychology has come of age. I was fortunate to live this development through my professional career. Along with a number of colleagues\, I have explored cultural pluralism – the hypothesis that there are multiple equilibriums in human cultural adaptation while relying on epistemological positivism – a set of scientific methods employed to evaluate claims made on different cultures. One primary domain of interest has been a macroscopic comparison between (relatively interdependent) East and (relatively independent) West. The resulting field is now called cultural psychology. In this lecture\, I will discuss three core themes of the field and put forward new questions that have emerged on the horizon. Specifically\, the success of cultural psychology was initially anchored in (i) an experimental approach to document cultural variations in mentality. Subsequently\, it has been reinforced by both (ii) an effort to identify situational\, historical\, ecological\, and\, more recently\, evolutionary forces that shape the contemporary cultural variations in mentality and (iii) the adoption of neuroscience methods to assess the “depth” of cultural influences on mentality. Now\, the field is poised to address novel questions on the biological mechanisms that are recruited to support culture\, including neuroplasticity\, gene x culture co-evolution\, and epigenetic pathways of socio-cultural adaptation.

But the two categories frequently conjoin to form more complex hybrids: many pre-­cadential hemiolas are inserted inside displacements\, and the Brahmsian hemiolic cycle inserts a displacement inside of a hemiola. These hybrid formations are related to the formal category of parenthesis usually traced back to Koch (1792)\, but they have a more historically distant origin\, in a 14th-­‐century conception of syncopation: as a dialectic  not of displacement (Verschiebung) and restoration \, but rather of fragmentation (Zerteilung) and reassembly. This paper suggests that this older conception of syncopation provides a framework for theorizing a variety of complex metric formations. Examples are provided from music of Beethoven\, Brahms\, Dvorak\, and West African drum ensembles.  UID:51082-11956304@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51082 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music,North campus LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Glenn E.

Memories of Disintegration: Ibero-American Experimental Film (Ann Arbor Film Festival) DESCRIPTION:As the profile of Ibero-American cinema\, the Spanish- and Portuguese-language films of Latin America\, continues to rise on the festival circuit\, a strong commitment to experimentation remains in the cinema emanating from the region. First-rate film schools in Cuba\, Argentina\, and Mexico\, among other nations\, are producing a new generation of filmmakers who eschew the proliferation of digital techniques\, returning to tactical analog modes of production (This program features work made on Video8\, Super 8\, 16mm\, Super 35mm\, and VHS).
