SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Civil Rights in the Trump Era
DESCRIPTION:What does “civil rights” mean in the Trump era?  How and why is the category evolving? This Teach-Out focuses on the civil rights aspects of two current debates--health care and the President’s seven-country travel ban--looking at politics\, protest\, and law. To understand these better\, you will learn about foundational civil rights history dating back to Reconstruction (after the Civil War). You will also hear the perspectives of scholars in law\, sociology\, and political science\, as well as civil rights advocates\, who will all discuss how civil rights are defended and contested\, often growing and contracting in response to other demands and debates. This Teach-Out ends with a call to action for you: How will you participate as our nation defines our rights?\n\nThe Teach-Out will address the following questions:\n\nCivil Rights generally:\n- What does “civil rights” mean? How has the category been understood both in the past and present?\n\nHealthcare:\n- In what way is healthcare reform a civil rights demand?  \n- In what way does the civil rights “frame” fail to fit healthcare policy?\n\nImmigration:\n- Why did the 19th-century Supreme Court declare immigration a constitutional-law-free zone? \n- How are courts--including the Supreme Court--analyzing the President’s seven-country travel ban?\n\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. Come\, join the conversation!\n\nFind new opportunities at teach-out.org.

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:Lecture / Discussion:AE Defense: Advances in Constrained Spacecraft Relative Motion Planning
DESCRIPTION:This dissertation considers Spacecraft Relative Motion Planning (SRMP)\, where spacecraft operate in close proximity to obstacles or to each other. SRMP techniques must accommodate non-convex constraints\, be robust to disturbances\, and be implementable on-board spacecraft with limited computational capabilities. Three novel SRMP techniques are developed\, and simulations illustrate implementations of each method. \n\nFirstly\, an invariance-based SRMP technique is proposed. Planned maneuvers transition a spacecraft between specified Natural Motion Trajectories (NMTs) while avoiding obstacles and accommodating control constraints. The method is based on a graph search applied to a “virtual net” with nodes corresponding to NMTs\, and adjacency rules based on safe positively invariant tubes built around each NMT. \n\nSecondly\, a SRMP technique is developed for satellite inspection. An information collection model is developed and used to construct a control law based on the local gradient of the information rate. This control law drives the spacecraft on a path along which the rate of information collection is strictly increasing. \n\nFinally\, a SRMP strategy is proposed to generate a formation containing an arbitrary number of vehicles. This strategy is based on an add-on predictive control mechanism\, known as a Parameter Governor\, which modifies parameters in a nominal closed-loop system to enforce constraints. \n\n\nDissertation Committee Names:\n\nProfessor Ilya V.

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. 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:Marcel Dzama: A Jester's Dance
DESCRIPTION:Canadian artist Marcel Dzama is known for imaginative drawings\, sculptures\, dioramas\, and films rooted in the traditions of Surrealism\, Dada and outsider art. His 2013 film Une danse des bouffons (or A jester's dance) tells the tale of a romance between two principal figures of these traditions: Dada icon Marcel Duchamp and Brazilian sculptor Maria Martins\, who was the model for Duchamp's final\, enigmatic artwork Étant donnés. Rife with art-historical references not only to the work of Duchamp but also to Francisco Goya\, Francis Picabia and Joseph Beuys\, among others\, Une danse des bouffons navigates a sexually charged and mesmerizing world in which fantasy and torture run amok. The gallery presentation also includes a storyboard for the film featuring Dzama’s ink and watercolor drawings\, renderings of small hybrid figures resembling children’s book illustrations. The drawings underscore the fantastical elements in a film that combines the carnivalesque with a nightmarish exploration of the surreal.\n\nLead support for Marcel Dzama: A Jester's Dance is provided by Candy and Michael Barasch. Additional generous support is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

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.

Labeled as ‘unknown’ or ‘anonymous\,’ African artists became associated with broad cultural styles and collective identities rather than personal creativity and individual agency. The exhibition Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa includes artworks from both named and unrecorded\, contemporary and historic artists to tell an alternative story. It explores how the changing attributes of an ‘African’ artist’s identity\, and constructions of African identity more broadly\, have shaped perceptions of Africa outside of the continent.\n\nLead support for Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of Afroamerican and African Studies and Susan Ullrich.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Physics Graduate Student Symposium | Illuminating Photosynthesis with Two Dimensional Spectroscopy
DESCRIPTION:Photosynthesis is a process vital to life on Earth by which energy from light is converted to chemical energy. Although much is understood about this process\, unanswered questions remain that\, if answered\, could inspire more efficient artificial light harvesting technologies. The technique of two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy has shown promise in addressing some of these questions. In this talk\, I will discuss 2D studies of the Bacterial Reaction Center (BRC)\, a pigment-protein complex that serves as a model system for investigating the initial steps of photosynthesis. By exciting the BRC in the near-IR and detecting the response over a broad portion of the visible spectrum\, we are able to uncover previously obscured coupling between BRC pigments and begin to further elucidate the kinetic pathways of energy transfer and charge separation.\n\nTalks will be given each Wednesday and will be 30 minutes in length\, with time after for questions. Lunch will be served at 11:45 and talks will begin at 12:00. Unless otherwise noted\, they will be held in 340 West Hall.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantitative Biology Seminar | Single Cell Response to Multiple Carbon Sources: A Case Study of Combinatorial Signal Integration
DESCRIPTION:A major determinant of the fitness of biological systems is their ability to integrate multiple cues from the environment and coordinate their response accordingly. Yet\, our understanding of combinatorial integration of multiple inputs and its age dependence is still limited. One of the well-studied examples of such regulation is catabolite repression - a phenomenon where preferred carbon source (e.g.\, glucose) represses the pathway required for the consumption of alternative carbon sources (e.g.\, galactose). As a model system\, we study how yeast response to hundreds of environments with different carbon sources as a function of time and age. We found that\, in contrast to the textbook view\, instead of merely inhibiting galactose utilization when glucose is above a threshold concentration\, individual cells respond to the ratio of glucose and galactose\, and based on this ratio determine whether to induce genes involved in galactose metabolism. We investigate the genetic architectures that can result in a ratio sensing and derive the conditions in which the optimal switching strategy involves preparation and when it is changed from threshold-sensing to ratio-sensing. We characterize the ability of cells to respond to changes in carbon source as a function of age and show that there is a non-trivial relation between mortality rate and failure rate.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:UMBS Summer Lecture Series: How will climate change affect the Great Lakes Region?
DESCRIPTION:Dr. David Karowe will give this all-camp lecture in May and in June.\n\nDr. Karowe is a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Western Michigan University and a long time General Ecology instructor at UMBS. Karowe and his students investigate the potential ecological consequences of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide. They focus on the ways nutritional quality and defensive chemistry of plants change under elevated CO2\, and how such changes affect the growth\, survivorship and behavior of insect herbivores and parasitoids. The ultimate goal of this research is to expand understanding of the ecological and evolutionary consequences of elevated CO2 to include higher trophic levels. This work has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the United States Department of Agriculture.\n\nDr. Karowe will focus his all-camp lectures\, offered on both May 30th and June 28th\, on the urgent climate change challenges facing the Great Lakes Region\, and will offer an overview of related research at the Biological Station. He will provide a framework by which students\, researchers\, and the public can better understand UMBS's important role in addressing these challenges and protecting our precious natural resources.

SUMMARY:Performance:Open Stage Showcase featuring Ali McManus & Eric Moore
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the organizers of The Ark's monthly Open Stage pick one or two artists who they feel have really honed their stuff and are ready for prime time. This year's Open Stage Showcase features Ali McManus and Eric Moore. Eric is a familiar face on the southeast Michigan music scene. The Pittsburgh native has been a human jukebox in dive bars and a songsmith on festival stages. He takes his singing cues from blue-eyed soul masters like Van Morrison and John Martyn while pursuing songwriting inspired by Paul Simon and fingerstyle guitar work in the vein of Leo Kottke and Bert Jansch. He has released two CDs of original material\, \"Picture Frame\" and \"Songdog.\" Bloomfield Hills teen Ali McManus says: \"My journey has been a series of twists and turns … and I mean that literally. Life—and my body itself—have thrown me some serious curves. But music saved my life. One song means three minutes\nof no pain\, and I can say things with song that I can’t speak in words alone.\"
