These interactions are often examined at the phenotypic level by evolutionary ecologists whereas the mechanistic basis of such interactions are detailed by molecular geneticists\; longer-term outcomes of such interactions are assessed by paleobiologists. It is rare\, however\, that plant-environment interactions are examined across scales within the same system\, i.e. from genes\, to molecular mechanism\, phenotype\, fitness\, and deeper evolutionary patterns across time. The aim of this conference is to highlight the work of prominent evolutionary ecologists\, molecular geneticists\, ecophysiologists\, and paleobiologists at the University of Michigan and beyond that examine similar plant-interaction phenomena but at very different scales of study. Our overall goal is to stimulate new collaborations and novel takes on overlapping phenomenon studied across scales.\n\nIllustration: John Megahan.

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520818@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180926T120527 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180927T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180927T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:GISC Conference.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

Dialogues on Memory and Desire DESCRIPTION:Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement\, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse\, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination\; re-writing the canonical accounts of history\; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.\n\nAt a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees\, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists\, designers\, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art\, design\, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.\n\nArtists: Rudolf Baranik\, Stephanie Dinkins\, Emory Douglas\, Brendan Fernandes\, Chitra Ganesh\, Carole Harris\, Maren Hassinger\, Al Loving\, Josh MacPhee\, Native Art Department International\, Michele Oka Doner\, Yoko Ono\, Kameelah Janan Rasheed\, Martha Rosler\, Buster Simpson\, Gregory Sholette\, Leni Sinclair\, Stephanie Syjuco\, Graem Whyte\, and Zafos Xagoraris. \n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

The subsequent article\, “Michigan Homecoming\,” which brought national attention to UM’s athletic program\, featured a seven-page spread with photographs of the campus during a much-anticipated football game between the number-one ranked Michigan Wolverines and the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers. This installation provides a unique opportunity to view twenty-one images of that weekend\, many of which were not published in the original article\, recently donated to UMMA by John and Susan Edwards Harvith. Considered alongside the article\, these photographs of fervent fans\, strolling couples\, alumni making their annual pilgrimage\, and the game itself present LIFE magazine’s view of a giddy post-war public enjoying a return to American pastimes.\n\nThese photographs were recently gifted to UMMA by John (AB '69\, JD '73) and Susan (MMP '73) Harvith.

This brief presentation will contextualize these new data within the broader scope of the late Holocene transition that took place in central Alaska and the Yukon Territory. \n\nFirst-year PhD student Erina Baci will share the results of her master's thesis\, a GIS-based settlement pattern analysis completed in 2018 at Mississippi State University. The Illyrians were an Indo-European group of people who once inhabited a large expanse of the western Balkans. As interactions with the Greeks and\, later\, the Romans increased\, the traditional way of life and sociopolitical organization of the Illyrians were undoubtedly altered. Her thesis takes a geospatial approach in order to address how interactions with other groups of people influenced Illyrian settlement patterns. Specifically\, how Greek colonization followed by Roman incorporation affected Illyrian settlement patterns in Albania.

These measures do not often facilitate investigations of the way gender and sex can branch or coincide\, change over time and context\, vary in importance to one’s self\, be situated in relation to cultural norms\, or exist outside binary understandings of gender/sex. To address this gap\, we developed a novel method for assessing individual gender\, sex\, and gender/sex (i.e.\, “gender/sex configurations”) using diagrams adapted from sexual configurations theory (SCT\; van Anders\, 2015). SCT provides a way of understanding and describing gender/sex configurations that centers gender/sex diversity. However\, SCT has yet to be adapted for use in survey research. In this presentation\, I will describe a study in which we asked participants (N = 242) with diverse gender/sex identities to describe their gender/sex configurations with both textual descriptions and through marking and writing on the diagrams from SCT via an online platform. Participants also answered follow-up questions about their understanding of the concepts and their experience describing their gender/sex configurations. Results indicated that a) the diagrams were used in ways consistent with self-identified gender/sex and b) a level of nuance was captured that otherwise would have remained invisible. Furthermore\, participants reported generally understanding the concepts\, and though some found the diagrams unnecessarily complicated\, many saw the utility of the survey\, either for describing their own gender/sex\, as a way to consider others’ identities\, or as a tool for understanding gender/sex diversity in general. Taken together\, these findings indicate that drawing on SCT diagrams proves a promising way to allow people of all identities to describe themselves in ways that have not yet been explored in psychological research\, with numerous potential uses in scientific research\, clinical settings\, and for individual self-understanding.

Control-volume analysis and boundary-layer theory have led to methods for computing drag and estimating basic properties of wakes\, such as decay and spreading rates\, whereas empirical flight testing expanded knowledge important for safe separation of aircraft during landing and takeoff. In general\, it is well known that wakes from practical configurations are comprised of momentum sources and sinks\, vortical structures\, turbulence\, and gravity waves. Furthermore\, spatiotemporal description of wake evolution is a function of vehicle configuration\, operational details (such as speed\, heading\, and altitude/depth)\, and the structure and properties of the environment.\n\nToday\, wake physics is important for a number of modern problems\, including ocean remote sensing\, aviation-induced cloudiness\, and even the use of bubbly ship wakes for geoengineering Earth's future climate. The hallmark of these problems is their multi-physics and multi-scale nature which presents significant challenges to computational modeling and design of useful experiments. In this talk\, these problems will be introduced and discussed\, including relevance\, formulation\, status\, and prognosis. \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nEric Paterson is the Rolls-Royce Commonwealth Professor and Head of the Kevin T.

This has allowed graphene to act as a host solid state system for measuring analogous relativistic effects on a laboratory table-top. Recently\, the ability to generate nanoscale substrate gate potentials in hexagonal boron nitride has opened the door for creating confined quantum dot (QD) states in a contiguous sheet of graphene. Unlike other QD systems\, graphene’s exposed electronic surface is uniquely amenable to scanning probe measurements that reveal the detailed spatial structure of the resonant QD states. In this talk I will present scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S) measurements that explore the interplay between spatial and magnetic confinement of Dirac fermions in graphene QDs. I will first describe how quasi-bound resonances occur due to relativistic Klein scattering at QD edges. I will then show how the application of a weak magnetic field (B ~ 0.1 T) can act as a topological Berry phase on/off “switch” resulting in the sudden onset of large energy splittings in the graphene QD spectrum. Finally\, at higher fields (B > 1T)\, I describe measurements that directly visualize the intricate evolution of the QD resonant states into highly degenerate Landau levels where electron interactions lead to the subsequent formation of a 'wedding cake'-like structure of compressible incompressible strips and strong Fermi velocity renormalization.\n UID:53483-13386093@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53483 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180926T092839 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180927T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180927T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series: The genomic basis of life history adaptation to climate in Arabidopsis thaliana DESCRIPTION:Dr. Schmitt will be speaking today as part of the 2018 Green Life Sciences symposium.

We fly to the archive. We fly to the field. (At least those of us with documents\, time\, and money do.) Yet airline travel seldom appears as a topic in the ethnographic pieces we write\, though other modes of transport frequently do. In this talk\, I explore how this form of flight became an untopic in anthropology. I delve into the works of black surrealists and structural anthropologists from the 1940s and 1950s. Inspired by critical race studies\, I think historically about the origins of a claim often heard when discussing airborne ethnographic fieldwork: “I’ve never thought about that.” The aim of the talk is to understand how untopics and unthoughts are made\, grapple with their effects\, find ways to dismantle them\, and envision what does not come next.\n\nChandra D. Bhimull\, an associate professor of anthropology and African American studies at Colby College\, is a graduate of the Doctoral Program in Anthropology and History at the University of Michigan.

Do they also try to influence which cases they decide? Clearly plaintiffs “shop” for the most attractive forum\, but do judges try to attract cases by “selling” their courts? Some American judges actively try to enlarge their influence by making their courts attractive to plaintiffs\, a phenomenon known as “forum selling.” This article shows that forum selling occurs outside the U.S. as well and focuses on Germany\, a country that is often held up as the paragon of the civil law approach to adjudication. As in the U.S.\, German courts attract cases primarily through the pro-plaintiff manipulation of procedure\, including the routine issuance of ex parte injunctions in press cases and refusal to stay patent infringement proceedings when the patent’s validity is challenged in another forum. A critical difference between forum selling in Germany and the U.S. is that court administrators are more actively involved in Germany. As state officials\, German court administrators have the incentive to consider the effect of caseloads on government revenue and the local economy\, and they use their power to allocate judges to particular kinds of cases in order to make their courts attractive. They also use their power over promotion\, case allocation\, and resources to reward judges who succeed in attracting cases. Based on an extensive set of interviews with attorneys\, judges and court officials\, this article describes evidence of forum selling in German patent\, press\, antitrust\, labor and criminal law. It also analyzes how German courts compete internationally with courts from other countries.\n\nco-authored with Stefan Bechtold and Dan Klerman UID:56219-13867068@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56219 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,Law,seminar LOCATION:South Hall - 1020 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180914T105241 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180927T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180927T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Revolutionary Landscapes: Ecology\, Power\, and Anarchism in Modern Korea DESCRIPTION:Where should we locate the origins of modern Korea’s environmental problems? Many assume that environmental issues emerged in 1960s South Korea when heavy industrialization in urban areas visibly started to pollute air and water. This presentation\, however\, traces the origins of environmental issues in agricultural modernization. Vigorous modernization efforts in agricultural food production from the late nineteenth century to the present left an ecological footprint on the Korean peninsula\, as governments on the Korean peninsula and diverse figures and groups from the United States and Japan introduced non-native species and new systems of knowledge and practice. Responding to these top-down modernization drives\, Korean communities and associations organized environmental campaigns to build new “ecological systems of life” that would restore local autonomy and governance based on the principles of anarchism. This presentation argues that we need to spatially re-conceptualize “environmental problems” to shift a focus from industrialization and cities to agriculture and the agrarian area in writing a critical environmental history.\n\nAlbert L.

Democracies Emerging and Submerging DESCRIPTION:Does it still make sense to study emerging democracies in a historical moment when democracies seem mostly to be submerging? In his inaugural address as WCED Director\, Dan Slater discusses how research on authoritarianism and democratic dysfunctions might ironically shed light on enduring questions of democratic emergence—especially when it builds on concepts transcending disciplinary boundaries. \n\nDan Slater specializes in the politics and history of enduring dictatorships and emerging democracies\, with a regional focus on Southeast Asia. He comes to Michigan after twelve years on the faculty at the University of Chicago\, where he served as director of the Center for International Social Science Research (CISSR)\, associate professor in the Department of Political Science\, and associate member in the Department of Sociology. His book manuscript examining how divergent historical patterns of contentious politics have shaped variation in state power and authoritarian durability in seven Southeast Asian countries\, entitled \"Ordering Power: Contentious Politics and Authoritarian Leviathans in Southeast Asia\,\" was published in the Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics series in 2010.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

A movie that tells a story that you have never heard…We will watch four international movies from four different countries during the Fall term. The first movie is “3 Idiots”. Two friends embark on a quest for a lost buddy. On this journey\, they encounter a long forgotten bet\, a wedding they must crash\, and a funeral that goes\, ridiculously out of control. As they make their way through the perilous landscape\, another journey begins: their inner journey through memory lane and the story of their friend -- the impressible free-thinker Rancho\, who is in unique way\, touched and changed their lives. It's a story of their hostel days that swings between Rancho's romance with the spirited Pia\, and his clash with an oppressive mentor\, Viru Sahastrabudhhe. And then one day\, suddenly\, Rancho vanished. Who was he? Where did he come from? Why did he leave? The friend who influenced and inspired them to think creatively and independently\, even as the conformist world called them \"three idiots.\" Where is the original idiot now? Finally\, in misty mountains of unparalleled beauty\, the friends find the key to the secret. -Rotten Tomatoes\n\n*This event is funded by the College of Engineering Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion Committee and the Office of Student Affairs.

Donovan\, a Juno Award nominee\, was raised in the small city of Sarnia\, Ontario\, to the sounds of country music\, with a healthy dose of folk and pop\, a combination that instilled in him a strong belief in the power of a good melody\, the importance of everyday language\, and the potential of a carefully crafted song. While amassing a catalogue of rousing and acclaimed music of his own\, he has worked with some of the top songwriters in North America to craft cuts for performers ranging from Alan Doyle to Billy Currington. It’s not that Woods makes music that is a product of both country and folk\; it’s that he makes music that shows how distracting the line separating the two can be. Like with so many songwriters of note\, what matters isn’t what you call it\, or where it comes from\, but the stories you tell\, and the voice you use. Woods's is a voice that demands attention\, and that attention has been quick in coming\, bringing international accolades\, a growing number of fans inside and outside the music industry\, and proclamations like \"Canada’s best-kept secret\,\" \"piercingly honest\,\" and \"quietly anthemic.\" He comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Both Ways.\"\n\nThis show is free at the door to Ark members at the Solo level and above.
