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.

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:Exhibition:Abstract Ancestry: Machine-Works on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-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\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

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.

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.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Yellowdig: News From The LSA Pilot
DESCRIPTION:Yellowdig is a social media platform designed solely to support academic activities. It offers all the common features we expect\, including posting text\, video\, audio\, and images\, and using hashtags\, @mentions\, and upvoting\, but also includes instructor tools for assessing student activity that are integrated into the Canvas Gradebook.\n\nLSA conducted a limited pilot during the Winter 2018 term to assess Yellowdig as a tool for increasing student engagement and connections to course content. Professor Mika LaVaque-Manty used Yellowdig in his course\, Introduction to Political Theory\, and he will share his experiences. We will also provide a high level overview of the features Yellowdig offers.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:A Walk in the Woods: Nature Writing
DESCRIPTION:A combination of literature course and creative writing workshop\, we will explore classic nature writing texts. As a group\, we’ll discuss how and why writers portray the natural world and their own landscapes for broad audiences. We’ll also discuss books which may not\, at first glance\, follow the conventions of what we might think of as nature writing as a way to craft our own creative nonfiction. Readings will include selections from Susan Fenimore Cooper\, Henry David Thoreau\, and Walt Whitman among others. This study group is coordinated by Emelia Abbe\, a Ph.D. candidate in UM’s Department of English.\nThis Study Group is for those over 50\, and will meet on Tuesdays from May 8 - June 26.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Computational Inference Algorithms for Spatiotemporal Processes and Other Complex Models
DESCRIPTION:Statistical data analysis can be carried out based on a stochastic model that reflects the analyst’s understanding about how the system in question behaves. The stochastic model specifies where in the system randomness is present and how the randomness plays a role in generating data. The likelihood of the data defined by the model summarizes the evidence provided by observations of the system. Drawing inference from the likelihood of the data\, however\, can be far from being simple or straightforward\, especially in modern statistical data analyses. Complex probability models and big data call for new computational methods to translate the likelihood of data into inference results. In this thesis\, I present two innovations in computational inference for complex stochastic models.\n\nThe first innovation lies in the development of a method that enables inference on coupled dynamic systems that are partially observed. The high dimensionality of the model that defines the joint distribution of the coupled dynamic processes makes computational inference a challenge. I focus on the case where the probability model is not analytically tractable\, which makes the computational inference even more challenging. Mechanistic model of a dynamic process that is defined via a simulation algorithm can lead to analytically intractable models. I show that algorithms that utilizes the Markov structure and the mixing property of stochastic dynamic systems can enable fully likelihood based inference for these high dimensional analytically intractable models. I demonstrate theoretically that these algorithms can substantially reduce the computational cost for inference\, which may be orders of magnitude in practice. Spatiotemporal dynamics of measles transmission are inferred from data collected at linked geographic locations\, as an illustration that this algorithm can\noffer an advance in scientific inference. \n\nThe second innovation involves a generalization of the framework in which samples from a probability distribution with unnormalized density are drawn using Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms. The new framework generalizes the widely used Metropolis-Hastings acceptance or rejection strategy. The resulting method is straightforward to implement in a broad range of MCMC algorithms\, including the most frequently used ones such as random walk Metropolis\, Metropolis adjusted Langevin\, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo\, or the bouncy particle sampler. Numerical studies show that this new framework enables flexible tuning of parameters and facilitates faster mixing of the Markov chain\, especially when the target probability density has complex structure.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:How To Make Canvas Discussions Meaningful and Manageable
DESCRIPTION:Canvas Discussions are an excellent way to build a sense of community\, engage in course content\, and to assess learning. The key\, however\, is to make Discussions meaningful and manageable for instructors and students. Discussions should be integrated into the course so students see a meaningful connection to their learning. Clear guidelines and reasonable parameters for participation ensure online discussion is a manageable part of the course.\n\nThis session will explore best practices for online discussion including how to ask the right questions\, manage time\, and bring the discussion back to the class. We will also examine how to design clear\, simple Canvas Rubrics to outline expectations.

SUMMARY:Performance:The California Honeydrops
DESCRIPTION:The California Honeydrops spring into 2018 with the Call It Home Tour to promote the release of a new double album\, \"Call It Home: Vol. 1 & 2.\" The California Honeydrops have a reputation as being among the most exciting and dynamic live bands on the planet. With unrelenting energy and a near-encyclopedic knowledge of musical styles\, genres and idioms\, the Honeydrops have spent a decade playing everywhere from subway stations in their native Oakland\, California\, to sold-out shows in theaters and at festivals all across the globe. In addition to their own nonstop touring\, 2016 and 2017 saw them honored to support Bonnie Raitt on her extensive North American tour\, following past support slots with such icons as B.B. King\, Allen Toussaint\, Buddy Guy and Dr. John. The band has come a long way since vocalist\, guitarist\, and trumpeter Lech Wierzynkski and drummer Ben Malament started busking in an Oakland subway station. With the additions of Johnny Bones on tenor sax and clarinet\, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards and Beau Bradbury on bass\, they’ve built a powerful full-band sound drawing on diverse musical influences from Bay Area R&B to funk\, Southern soul\, Delta blues and New Orleans second-line. The breathtaking slide guitar virtuoso Javier Matos opens.
