SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Privacy\, Reputation\, and Identity in a Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Reputation has long been prized. In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.\n\nTeach-Out.org

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach-Out Series: Extreme Weather: Tornado Season
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 1\,200 tornadoes hit the United States per year and because of their unpredictable and violent nature\, tornadoes remain a focal point in extreme weather conversations. In this Teach-Out\, you will learn about the frequency of tornadic events both in the United States and globally\, the methods used to assess the strength of tornadoes\, what research tells us about their origins and structure\, and tornado preparedness and response strategies. You will also explore to what degree scientists believe the frequency and/or intensity of tornadic storms are affected by climate change. \n\nThe Teach-Out will address the following questions:\nWhat is a thunderstorm and how do some become severe?\nWhere are tornadic thunderstorms likely to form?\nWhat are the combination of conditions needed to create a tornadic thunderstorm?\nHow can you best prepare for a tornado in your community?\nIs there any reason to believe that the frequency or intensity of tornadoes is likely to increase in the future due to climate change?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the Extreme Weather Series\, a multi-part examination of the causes of various extreme weather events and to what degree climate change impacts the frequency or intensity of these events. We will also provide participants with strategies and resources to better prepare or respond to extreme weather in their own context. \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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Beauty Meets My Mess: Mixed Media Collage
DESCRIPTION:Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian\, and when she walked outside\, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child\, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers\, old book pages\, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry\, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken\, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Timeless Instants: Still Life Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Originally from Kansas City\, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mr. Vignaud's Maps: Unraveling a Cartographic Mystery from the Golden Age of Dutch Cartography
DESCRIPTION:In 1922 the University of Michigan acquired the library of Henry Vignaud\, an American diplomat living in Paris\, whose extensive personal library included thousands of books\, atlases\, maps\, and other publications. Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:TBP Grad Student Speaker Series: Training (for) Better Presentations
DESCRIPTION:**Note change of location**\nWe are excited to announce the launch of TBP Graduate Student Speaker Series: Training (for) Better Presentations organized by Tau Beta Pi for the College of Engineering\, a pilot professional development event funded by the College of Engineering and the Office of Student Affairs. \n\nTraining (for) Better Presentations is aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills\, so they can learn to effectively convey the \"big picture\" value of their research to a diverse audience. It also aims to engage a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering.\n\nIntended as \"teaching through practice\" event\, each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience)\, highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills\, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.\n\nStarting mid-February and leading up to June\, we will be organizing multiple sessions for this event\, and we invite you to participate. The sessions will be held on Saturday mornings (9am - 11am)\, and will be scheduled to occur once every 2-3 weeks. Breakfast and coffee will be provided!\n\nIf you are interested in participating as a speaker\, please indicate your availability on the \"Speaker sign up\" form and the planning committee will follow up with you for scheduling. If you are interested in participating as an audience member\, please sign up through our TBP website on the \"Audience sign up\" link. Note: you be prompted to create a guest profile in order to sign-up as an audience member.\n\nWe look forward to your participation!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Quaker Oats Makes a Movie: A Scrumdiddlyumptious Wonka Adventure
DESCRIPTION:​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971\, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before\, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.\n\nStudents in Matthew Solomon's class\, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive\, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Illuminated Manuscript
DESCRIPTION:Books of hours—custom-made for private devotion in the Christian faith—were a bestseller in medieval Europe. These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:STARX: ACE Compeition
DESCRIPTION:TESTING FUNCTIONAL EXOSKELETONS\nExoskeletons are posed to change the lives of everyone.  They can improve mobility for the disabled\, strengthen emergency rescue workers\, and keep soldiers safer.  Currently most working exoskeletons are out of reach of the public\, confined mostly to research and military.  With this competition we hope to change this.\n\nTHE COMPETITION\nThe ACE Competition 2018 is an event to test the functionality of load-bearing leg exoskeletons in real-world situations.  The event's obstacle course challenge simulates a firefighter with 75 lbs of equipment navigating through difficult terrain likely to be found in an emergency situation.   Through this challenge\, engineering students can test exoskeletons that reduce the burden of equipment weight in difficult environments.

DESCRIPTION:Join the International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) as we participate in an international online May Day rally! \n\nWhat: Gathering hosted by the IYSSE to listen and contribute remarks to an online May Day rally organized by the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) and the World Socialist Web Site\nWhen: May 5 at 5pm\nWhere: Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Room 2124\n\nMay 5\, 2018 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx\, the greatest philosopher of modern history and the founder of scientific socialism. Marx's call: “Workers of the world unite!” resonates today amid an eruption of the class struggle on every continent. In the first four months of 2018\, tens of millions of people have participated in the largest demonstrations and strikes in decades.\n\nThe capitalist system\, based on the exploitation of the working class\, is wracked by crisis.\n\nAll over the world\, the ruling elites seek to protect their wealth and save this bankrupt system by resorting to war and repression. The governments and corporations are censoring the Internet out of fear that this revolutionary source for information and communication can link workers across the world in a common struggle against inequality\, dictatorship and war.\n\nThe International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) and the World Socialist Web Site are commemorating Marx's birthday alongside May Day\, the international day of working class solidarity\, with an international online rally with participants from dozens of countries worldwide. Speakers will include leaders of the Fourth International from around the world.
