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.

A social and environmental psychologist\, she studies how social goals \ninfluence climate change mitigation. Professor Raimi is particularly interested in how people compare themselves to others\, how message framing shapes attitudes toward climate policy\, and how adopting one sustainable behavior affects subsequent decisions. She completed her Ph.D. in Social Psychology at Duke University and a Postdoc at the Vanderbilt University Institute for Energy and Environment.\n\nDespite the growing scientific consensus about human-caused climate change\, climate beliefs in the U.S. are sharply divided along political lines. One explanation for this polarization is motivated reasoning: People seeking out information with the goal to maintain their existing beliefs. This talk explores how people use motivated reasoning to reject evidence that challenges their worldviews\, their social goals\, or their belief in their own superiority\, and discusses ways to discuss climate change that better account for these biases. \n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Behavioral and Social Sciences: Real World Applications. The next lecture will be April 12\, 2018. The title is Understanding Charitable Giving Decisions: New Evidence and Recommendations.

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.

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.

Evoking the ground zeroes of Hiroshima and Nagasaki\; Trinity\, New Mexico\; New York City\; and most recently Fukushima\, dances such as Land\, Offering\, Fragile\, and Eiko’s solo project A Body in Places create complex transnational geographies between Japan and the U.S. and raise questions of mutual implication in the nuclear age. Contrary to the nuclear discourse bound to butoh that fixes the post-nuclear firmly in the past\, Eiko & Koma’s engagement with the nuclear invites audiences to perceive the ongoing repercussions of nuclear disasters. \n \nRosemary Candelario\, Assistant Professor of Dance at Texas Woman’s University\, specializes in the Japanese avant-garde movement form\, butoh. She is the author of Flowers Cracking Concrete: Eiko & Koma's Asian/American Choreographies (Wesleyan University Press 2016) and co-editor of the Routledge Companion to Butoh Performance (forthcoming 2018).

Understanding which class of counting formulas can account for a large degeneracy will undoubtedly unveil interesting properties of quantum gravity. In this talk I will discuss the application of Siegel modular forms to black hole entropy counting. The role of the Igusa cusp form in the D1D5P system is well-known in string theory\, and its transformation properties are what allow precision microstate counting in this case. We implement this counting for other Siegel modular and paramodular forms\, and we show that they could serve as candidates for other gravitational systems.

The consequent broad access to these drugs has contributed to the opioid epidemic\, and drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death for Americans under 50. Using data on hundreds of millions of medical claims and 19 million opioid prescriptions in Massachusetts between 2010 and 2015---by then the 7th highest state for death rate by opioid-related overdoses---I will introduce evidence that the diffusion of these medications within families has contributed to the proliferation of opioid consumption. Moreover\, these effects are unlikely to be explained away by shared traits\, environment\, or mate selection. This empirical perspective on the opioid epidemic within families---a ubiquitous social structure---has important implications for policy.

The voltage-gated sodium ion channel is a primary site of action for many of these poisonous substances. No less than six discrete receptor sites for neurotoxins have been identified on the pore-forming alpha-subunit of the channel. This lecture will attempt to illustrate how molecular design and chemical synthesis of toxins and toxin derivatives\, together with the tools of molecular biology and electrophysiology\, can be used to interrogate sodium channel structure and function.\n\nSpeaker:\nJustin Du Bois earned his B.S. in Chemistry from University of California\, Berkeley\, and then earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from California Institute of Technology in the lab of Dr. Erick Carreira. He did his postdoctoral work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the lab of Dr. Stephen J. Lippard. Dr. Du Bois joined the faculty at Stanford in 1999 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2005. His scientific pursuits stem largely from his interest in chemical design\, molecular recognition and physical organic chemistry. His lab has two primary foci\, the first and longest-standing of which is aimed at developing chemical processes and catalyst systems for precision-controlled modification of C–H bonds.\n\nBoxed lunch will be provided.

This talk examines archaeological and archival data from a World War II internment camp in Idaho - the Kooskia Internment Camp - to investigate how Japanese American prisoners were treated by prison officials and the United States government. Prisoners at the Kooskia Internment Camp were to be treated by the standards outlined in the Geneva Prisoners of War Convention of 1929. The Geneva Convention details the basic necessities afforded to prisoners of war and non-citizens\, such as access to leisure activities\, alcohol\, and dental\, ophthalmological care\, and medical facilities. Kooskia's data provide a localized\, on-the-ground account of how the United States government interpreted and responded to the stipulations outlined in the Geneva Convention.

This is a direct extension of our previous work in the context of semi linear parabolic PDEs based on the classical Mc Kean representation for KPP equations. These representations pave the way for a Monte-Carlo approximation of the solution\, thus bypassing the curse of dimensionality. We illustrate the numerical implications in the context of some popular PDEs in physics such as nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation\, a simplified scalar version of the Yang-Mills equation\, a fourth-order nonlinear beam equation and the Gross- Pitaevskii PDE as an example of nonlinear Schr ̈odinger equations.\n\nSponsored by the Van Eenam Lecture Series UID:50374-11724559@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50374 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Business,Graduate School,Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180326T164935 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180405T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180405T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Q&A with Ruth Padel DESCRIPTION:Q&A with writer Ruth Padel!

The lack of simple equations and unprecedented amount of available high-fidelity data are leading to a paradigm shift in how we interact with complex nonlinear systems. Leading approaches stem from data-driven methods which have the potential to discover new mechanisms\, models and control laws and are driven by the tremendous advances in computing power\, new sensors and infrastructures\, and advanced algorithms in machine learning.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss recent advances in data-driven\, equation-free architectures connected to the Perron-Frobenius and Koopman operators leveraging advances in sparsity-promoting techniques and machine learning. Koopman operator theory has emerged as a principled framework to obtain linear embeddings of nonlinear dynamics\, enabling the estimation\, prediction and control of strongly nonlinear systems using standard linear techniques. In addition\, I will discuss work related to statistical modeling in fluids and how to exploit sparsity in dynamical systems for modeling and sensing. The presented work is demonstrated on Hamiltonian systems and different high-dimensional nonlinear systems from fluids.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nEurika Kaiser received her Diploma degree (M.Sc.) in physical engineering from the Technical University Berlin\, Germany\, in 2012\, and the Ph.D. degree from Universite de Poitiers\, France\, in 2015.

Using data from a 20+ year demographic study of two tundra plants across their latitudinal ranges in North America\, I show that different demographic rates change in opposite directions (“demographic compensation”) across latitudes\, which may buffer populations across the range from environmental change. However\, we have also found evidence that compensation may break down suddenly once a warming tipping point has been surpassed. Evidence for local adaptation suggests tipping points may paradoxically be reached sooner at the colder rather than the warmer end of the gradient\, which may lead to counterintuitive range shifts under climate change.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/gyfwX8J6hgE UID:49261-11397844@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49261 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Natural Sciences,Research LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180327T072940 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180405T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180405T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Columbus the Muslim DESCRIPTION:Christopher Columbus lived the vast majority of his life in a Mediterranean world in which the Ottoman and Mamluk Empires dominated the eastern part of the sea and were in constant economic\, political\, and confrontational interaction with the Christian states of Europe.

In doing so\, it thinks critically about the role of Islam in the Spanish decision to send him across the ocean and in the early history of the Spanish Caribbean. It furthermore uses this Muslim history of Columbus to suggest ways of analyzing early modern periodization and the place of Islam in the making of the modern world.\n\nAlan Mikhail is professor of history at Yale University. He is a historian of the early modern Muslim world\, the Ottoman Empire\, and Egypt.

The first––that the injurer’s activity must be dangerous––is sensible because strict liability possesses general advantages in controlling risk. But the second––that the activity must be uncommon––is ill-advised because it exempts all common activities from strict liability\, no matter how dangerous. Thus\, the harm generated by the large swath of common dangerous activities––from hunting\, to construction\, to the operation of railroads––tends to be socially excessive. After developing this theme\, the Article addresses the question of how the uncommon activity requirement could have arisen and finds that its legal pedigree is problematic: it was invented by the authors of the first Restatement of Torts. The conclusion is that the uncommon activity requirement for the imposition of strict liability should be eliminated.

Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nAbout the installation:\n\nDetroit-based artist Matthew Angelo Harrison takes a satirical look at historical narratives—exploring issues of race\, design\, mortality and industry—by making use of analog and digital technologies. For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.
