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.

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.

I would ask that those who judge us to perhaps look past the blue and orange state clothes we wear\, and to try to practice empathy. Please try to understand us. Please try to look past our imperfections and most importantly\, try to forgive us. I believe that many inmates struggle with\, yet desperately desire to express who they truly are\, and the reasons are numerous. Creating art is one avenue I personally use to express myself. All of my paintings reflect either my sadness\, my happiness\, my dreams\, my desires\, my passions\, or I just find them beautiful.

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.

For transnational households – where one spouse temporarily migrates for work – this information asymmetry is further exacerbated\, and can reduce the development impact of such migration. However the role of household communication and information sharing to create and/or address this information asymmetry is unclear. I plan to conduct an RCT to study the effect of making information observable on migrant-household information sharing and the household’s decision making. I will analyze whether spouses strategically misreport information to each other\, which margins are most misreported (income\, expenditure\, savings\, debt etc.) and does the opportunity to share information reduce asymmetry and affect the household’s subsequent decisions.\n\nTeju Velayudhan\n\nTitle: Do Value Added Taxes Thresholds Reduce Real Output?\n\nAbstract: Most countries have a value added tax (VAT) and most VAT systems feature a revenue based exemption threshold\, making the VAT notch a widespread and important element of tax systems. How do these VAT notches affect production efficiency\, and therefore the production efficiency of real VAT systems? This is a particularly relevant question in the context of emerging economies where the VAT exemption threshold is relatively high in the revenue distribution of firms. Recent papers estimate large responses of reported production to tax in developing countries in response to tax incentives and attribute the response to evasion. Unlike these papers which use administrative data from tax returns\, I use survey data where what firms report has no direct impact on their tax liability. Even in this survey data\, I find that firms reduce their survey-reported output between 6 to 20 percent to remain below the VAT exemption threshold. Because the survey-reported output may also be the outcome of misreporting instead of real production changes\, I devise a method to identify real changes using information on their tax-exempt inputs\, which they never report to the tax authority. I assemble a novel dataset by linking the five-digit product information from these establishments to the applicable tariff codes\, which allows me to measure how the tax liability for the firm changes over time.

When scholars study these islands\, they mostly do so from the perspective of the Mao-Chiang conflict or global geopolitics. These islands are thus considered as the products of the Communist-Nationalist rivalry or confrontations of the Cold War. This talk\, instead\, aims to analyze this history from the perspective of the island society and culture\, in particular\, the islanders' gender relations and gambling habits. Dr. Lin will start with the period before the army arrived\, discuss the population's experience of militarization during 1949-92\, and indicate how gender and gambling culture can shed new light on our understanding of this history. \n\nWei-ping Lin received her PhD in Anthropology from Cambridge University. She joined the National Taiwan University in 1999\, where she is a professor. She is affiliated with the Harvard-Yenching Institute during 2017-18. Her research concerns Chinese popular religion\, including topics related to material culture\, spirit mediums\, and urban religious transformation. She is the author of \"Materializing Magic Power: Chinese Popular Religion in Villages and Cities\" (Harvard University Asia Center\, 2015). During the year at Harvard\, she will be writing a book manuscript about the role of imagination in the military outposts between China and Taiwan.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nDuring Mexico’s transition to democracy\, at the end of 1994\, a Judicial Council was created with the explicit aim of establishing a merit-based system for the selection and promotion of judges at all levels of the federal judiciary. However\, a series of indicators including nepotistic practices and ad hoc examinations show a divergence between the formal merit-based judicial career and the actual practice of appointments and promotions\, which is biased in favor individuals with connections to sitting judges and persons already working in the federal judiciary. Why? What is the source of the divergence between the formally merit-based career and the actually biased hiring practices? This paper argues that patronage networks formed during the authoritarian period\, when the Supreme Court hand-picked lower court judges\, have persisted under the democratic regime eroding the meritocratic selection system. Based on archival data\, and on a unique dataset on nepotism within the judiciary\, the paper uncovers the patronage networks\, and aims at showing their persistence and effects on the performance of the Judicial Council set to select judges on merit since 1995. Leveraging a relational perspective\, the paper offers a mechanism of transmission and reproduction of enduring authoritarian practices despite democratic efforts to uproot them.

ANM is also associated with epigenetic age and may be a useful phenotype to unravel mechanistic insights into aging. Within the ReproGen consortium\, we conducted genetic association studies and identified genetic loci for ANM including a common variant in BRCA1\, variants in/near genes associated with delayed puberty\, and enrichment in genes in the DNA damage response pathway. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) followed by Mendelian randomization analyses to assess causal influences on later life outcomes will further our understanding of how reproductive traits impact the overall health of women.\nAbout Dr. Murabito: Dr. Murabito is Director of the Clinic at the Framingham Heart Study and she is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. Her research interests include the epidemiology and genetics of longevity\, healthy aging\, reproductive aging and peripheral artery disease. Dr. Murabito is a member of the Genetics of Longevity Consortium and the ReproGen Consortium.

Muslim Ethical Thought and its Circulation in Colonial India DESCRIPTION:“Compendium as Archive?” considers two compendiums of Muslim ethical thought produced in colonial India: Makhzan-i-Hikmet (A Treasury of Wisdom) by Mufti Ghulam Sarwar\, and Makhzan-i-Akhlaq (A Treasury of Ethics)\, by Rahmatullah Subhani. Published in 1871 and 1932\, respectively\, both compile the sayings of an eclectic group of eminent men\, and/or kernels of their wisdom. Those included are Muslim and non-Muslim\, and date from classical antiquity to contemporary times. This talk considers both texts in their religious and historical context\, asking whether we can read them as archives of popular religious sentiment? While taking up the religious and cultural history of late colonial India\, the talk will also address the broader methodological concern of how print culture can serve as historical archive\, giving particular attention to the compendium as a genre.

In this talk\, I will discuss our recent studies on two seemingly unrelated 2D materials: non-centrosymmetric superconducting NbSe_2 and magnetic CrI_3. As a result of the crystal symmetry and spin-orbit interactions\, the electron spins in both of these materials become Ising-like (i.e. spins locked to the out-of-plane direction)\, giving rise to unique magnetic properties. First I will discuss how the Ising spins in 2D NbSe_2 protect superconductivity under very high magnetic fields and experimental signatures of spin-triplet pairing correlations through tunneling measurements. I will then discuss our recent efforts in studying 2D magnetism in CrI_3 by electric fields. If time allows\, I will briefly discuss interesting future directions by combining these two materials to form heterostructures. \n UID:42208-9584896@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42208 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171122T141935 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180403T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180403T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Cross Campus Transfer to LSA Information Sessions DESCRIPTION:Are you thinking about transferring to LSA from another University of Michigan school or college?

Here\, we report spontaneous lipid corona formation\, i.e. without active mixing\, upon attachment to stationary lipid bilayer model membranes and bacterial cell envelopes\, and present ribosome-specific outcomes for multi-cellular organisms. Experiments show that polycation-wrapped particles disrupt the tails of zwitterionic lipids\, increase bilayer fluidity\, and leave the membrane with reduced ζ-potentials. Computer simulations show contact ion pairing between the lipid headgroups and the polycations’ ammonium groups leads to the formation of stable\, albeit fragmented\, lipid bilayer coronas\, while microscopy shows fragmented bilayers around nanoparticles after interacting with Shewanella oneidensis. Our mechanistic insight can be used to improve control over nano-bio interactions and to help understand why some nanomaterial/ligand combinations are detrimental to organisms\, like Daphnia magna\, while others are not. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nFranz Geiger (Northwestern University) UID:44504-9923098@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44504 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180326T101734 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180403T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180403T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Teaching of Heritage Languages: Theoretical and Pedagogical Issues DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a teaching talk with Professor Alejandro Cuza of Purdue University.

The main concern is to design a management delegation contract between a Principal and an Agent which sets the basis of a satisfactory collaboration so as to put the best incentive for the Agent to fulfill the objective of the Principal. The problem is naturally formulated as a (Stackelberg) differential game.

Capitalist governments in Europe and throughout the world are enacting similar repressive policies.\n\nThe ruling class launched this desperate campaign in a desperate response to growing mass opposition to social inequality and war. Workers and young people around the world are using the Internet to coordinate struggles and share information outside of the control of the corporate media.\n\nThe World Socialist Web Site\, which has been a principal target of the censorship campaign\, is leading a fight against the greatest attack on free speech since the Second World War. In January\, it called for an International Coalition of Socialist\, Antiwar and Progressive Websites Against Internet Censorship to expose what is taking place and coordinate opposition.\n\nThis meeting will explore the political context of efforts to censor the Internet\, examine the pretexts used to justify the suppression of free speech (e.g.\, “fake news”)\, and discuss a political strategy to mobilize the working class in defense of democratic rights.

The band hailed from working-class\, industrial Birmingham\, England\, and it was a time of social\, political and musical upheaval. Into this storm came The Beat\, trying to calm the waters with their simple message of love and unity set to a great dance beat. The band was all about inclusion\, crossing over fluidly among soul\, reggae\, pop\, and punk\, and from these disparate pieces they created an infectious dance rhythm. One of the most popular and influential bands of the British Two Tone Ska movement\, The English Beat toured the world with David Bowie\, The Clash\, The Police\, The Pretenders\, R.E.M.\, and Talking Heads. Members of the band went on to form other groups\, including General Public\, International Beat\, and Fine Young Cannibals\, but frontman Dave Wakeling has kept The English Beat alive and well.
