SUMMARY:Exhibition:Animal Friends: Ceramic Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Marcia Polenberg loves animals\, each with its own unique personality\, intelligence and expressive range of emotions. Using terra-cotta sculpture clay\, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals\, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness\, surprise\, mischief\, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times\, building up a rich\, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting\, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics\, paint\, graphite and pastel.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Celebrating Science & Art
DESCRIPTION:The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research\, and are beautiful in their detail\, form and symmetry. For each one\, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells\, tissues and organs\, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants\, worms\, fruit flies\, fish\, mice and yes\, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators\, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images\, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma\, bipolar disease\, epilepsy and cancer.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Innovations in Ornament
DESCRIPTION:This group show of jewelry and ornaments includes the work of Roger Martin\, who tackled the subject of a raven by relying on planes and shadow lines to imbue the surfaces of the bird with personality. Another one of the seven artists\, Lorraine Kolasa\, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting\, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry. Michael Nashef\, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon\, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches. Other artists included in this exhibit are Kim Cridler\, Roger Smith\, Renee Zettle-Sterling and Ruth Taubman\, whose unmatched exuberance of color and 36 years of work and business innovation\, place her jewelry firmly on the national stage.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Organic Fiction: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical\, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. Blending images from the real world and her imagination\, Organic Fiction celebrates nature in all its beauty\, chaos and complexity. Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature\, such as tree branches\, ice patterns\, twisted vines\, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures\, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Decipher: 2018 Design Educators Research Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design is proud to host Decipher\, a three-day\, hands-on design research conference that will take place on the U-M campus September 27-29\, 2018.\n\nPresented by the AIGA Design Educators Community in partnership with the new DARIA Network (Design as Research in the Americas)\, Decipher is co-chaired by Stamps professors Kelly M. Murdoch-Kitt and Omar Sosa Tzec.\n\nDecipher will adopt a unique\, interactive format to address crucial themes of defining\, doing\, disseminating\, supporting\, and teaching design research. There will be no formal “paper presentations\,” instead all conference attendees will participate in focused conversations\, activity groups\, and workshops. These sessions will be comprised of Participants and Facilitators. Participants attend the conference and are expected to engage in all of the sessions. Facilitators plan and lead the sessions for participants. Facilitators also have an additional expectation of documentation and dissemination of their session following the conference. The submission\, review\, and selection process of Facilitators has been completed\, but our call to people interested in joining us as Participants is still open! \n\nFor information about the brief written submission required to attend the conference as a participant (deadline: September 1st\, 2018): https://educators.aiga.org/participate-in-decipher-2018/\n\nFor answers to common questions about the conference: https://educators.aiga.org/decipher-faq/\n\nFor questions about the conference: decipher2018@umich.edu\n\nThere are also volunteer opportunities at Decipher for students from the Stamps community and beyond. Join the Decipher team to gain insights into design research and contemporary design dialogues\, meet and network with design practitioners and faculty from a variety of disciplines and perspectives\, take part in some conference sessions and events for free\, and add a great line to your resume! Volunteer activities may include manning registration tables\, assisting session facilitators\, helping with wayfinding for guests\, producing photographic and video documentation\, installing exhibitions\, hanging signs\, assisting with special events\, making social media updates\, and more.  We ask that each volunteer work approximately 10-20 hours before and during the conference\, depending upon availability.\n\nTo sign up as a student volunteer: http://bit.ly/deciphervolunteers\n\nFor questions about volunteering: deciphervolunteers@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Urban Biographies\, Ancient and Modern
DESCRIPTION:Human beings are political animals\, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis\,” the Greek word for city. 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

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Green Life Sciences Symposium 2018: Plant-Environment Interactions Across Scales
DESCRIPTION:Plants interact with both a variety of community members (other plants\, the microbial community\, pollinators\, herbivores) and are exposed to a variety of abiotic environmental stressors (drought and changing climate\, human-mediated agents of selection). 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Borders: Global Africa
DESCRIPTION:More than ever in the era of globalization\, ideas traverse geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries\, even as national borders seem to be closing. '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. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Have We Met? 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Life Magazine 1947 Homecoming Photographs
DESCRIPTION:In October 1947\, just two years after the end of World War II\, the popular weekly news magazine LIFE sent staff photographers Lisa Larsen and Ralph Morse to cover homecoming weekend at the University of Michigan. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series. Physiologies of the Flesh: Medical and Moral Matter in Late Colonial Indonesia
DESCRIPTION:In the early 20th century\, the Netherlands East Indies was awash with revivalist and reformist movements. These included Christian missionaries seeking to overcome the failures and frustrations of the previous century and Muslim reformists seeking to reform their faith to meet the political\, epistemological\, and moral challenges of colonial modernity. Both looked to a common resource in pursuit of reform and revival: modern medicine and the medical body. Although often recognizing this convergence of religious and medical modernity among Muslims and Christians in late colonial Indonesia\, historians have done very little to examine critically the role that health\, medicine\, and the medical body played in these projects or the many differences that existed in their appropriations and uses of modern medical discourse and practice. This talk attempts to address these historiographical gaps. It specifically examines how Protestant missionaries and Muslim reformers in Central Java used medical discourse and practice—especially questions of physiology and etiology—to pursue wider ethical\, epistemological\, and devotional projects of modernity. In doing so\, it considers how Protestant and Muslim reformers theologized modernity from conditions of the flesh. \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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Li Ma\, Associate Professor\, Department of Statistical Science\, Duke University
DESCRIPTION:We introduce a method---called Fisher exact scanning (FES)---for testing and identifying variable dependency that generalizes Fisher's exact test on $2\times 2$ contingency tables to $R\times C$ contingency tables and continuous sample spaces. FES proceeds through scanning over the sample space using windows in the form of $2\times 2$ tables of various sizes\, and on each window completing a Fisher's exact test. Based on a factorization of Fisher's multivariate hypergeometric (MHG) likelihood into the product of the univariate hypergeometric likelihoods\, we show that there exists a coarse-to-fine\, sequential generative representation for the MHG model in the form of a Bayesian network\, which in turn implies the mutual independence (up to deviation due to discreteness) among the Fisher's exact tests completed under FES. This allows an exact characterization of the joint null distribution of the $p$-values and gives rise to an effective inference recipe through simple multiple testing procedures such as \v{S}id\'{a}k and Bonferroni corrections\, eliminating the need for resampling. In addition\, FES can characterize dependency through reporting significant windows after multiple testing control. The computational complexity of FES is approximately linear in the sample size\, which along with the avoidance of resampling makes it ideal for analyzing massive data sets. We use extensive numerical studies to illustrate the work of FES and compare it to several state-of-the-art methods for testing dependency in both statistical and computational performance. Finally\, we apply FES to analyzing a microbiome data set and further investigate its relationship with other popular dependency metrics in that context.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 836 Seminar: Albert Fu and HFES Chapter
DESCRIPTION:Title: Lumped Parameter Modeling of Human Gait for Predicting and Evaluating Drop Foot Patient’s Gait\n\nBio: The University of Michigan Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Student Chapter is organized to serve the needs of the human factors profession at the University of Michigan. Its purpose is to promote and advance the understanding of human factors involved in the design\, manufacture\, and use of machines\, systems\, environments\, and devices of all kinds through the interchange of knowledge and methodology in the behavioral\, biological\, and physical sciences and in industrial and operations engineering\, design science\, computer science\, information\, psychology\, and other relevant disciplines.\n\nAbstract: There will be two parts of this talk. The first part\, will be about the University of Michigan HFES Student Chapter\, including goals\, events\, and membership benefits. The second part\, will cover Albert's own research. The research focuses on human gait modeling which is motivated by the demands of a decision support system in orthotic clinics. This system aims at using AFO designs and patient's individual parameters as inputs\, to predict and evaluate the gait pattern\, and then to guide the AFO designs. The current gait model utilizes pendulum and inverted pendulum movements to approach the human gait.\n\nRefreshments Provided!

SUMMARY:Presentation:Psychology Methods Hour
DESCRIPTION:Voodoo Correlations Revisited: Biased Analysis in Neuroimaging and Behavioral Data\n\nNearly a decade ago\, Vul and colleagues (2009) published a paper criticizing then-current methods of region of interest (ROI) analysis. Their criticism focused on what is called biased or circular analysis\, in which data is extracted from voxels that are already defined as statistically significant\, leading to inflated effect sizes. In this talk I will outline the history of the debate\, explain why it is still relevant in both neuroimaging and behavioral studies\, and discuss ways you can prevent inadvertently doing biased analyses.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE285 Undergraduate Seminar Series - Aerospace Through the Decades
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar we will explore the progress of Aerospace as seen through the eyes and career of Karen Albrecht. This seminar will discuss the infancy of space travel in the 60's and discuss the changes and transformation of Aerospace through the 2010's.  She will discuss the many facets of Aerospace and how your education and knowledge of the Michigan education can take you to meet your goals.  Additionally\, Karen will provide insights into the career and recruiting process of the industry.  Her experience in creating engineering predates the use of computers and CAD systems to design and analyze aerospace vehicles.  She will also reveal how the course \"Geography of the Soviet Union\" played a key part in her career.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nKaren’s illustrious career as an Aerospace Engineer began at NASA JSC where she developed analytic methods for composite primary structure under fatigue and fracture mechanics for Space Shuttle. Karen participated in the Longitudinal Study of Astronaut Health (LSAH). \n\nAt Lockheed Martin\, she worked on Missile Launching Systems\, Basic Research\, Commercial Aircraft\, Undersea Systems\, SMART Structures\, Robotics and high performance Military Aircraft. She developed embedded fiber optics technology. She is a Master Black Belt in 6-sigma and Lean Engineering.\n\nKaren serves on several university engineering and non-profit boards. Karen is the 2007 Distinguished Alumnus –Aerospace for the UM.  \n\nKaren is now CEO of Karen Albrecht Enterprises a Career and Personal Development Organization. Karen has delivered over 200 seminars for courses she developed and gives her time and knowledge to help students navigate career fairs and resume. Karen has set up an endowment fund for Aerospace undergraduate education and provides scholarships for Aerospace Engineering students who need the support to finish their education at the University of Michigan. She has already given out 5 scholarships to Aero students.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cultural Entrepreneurship: A New Agenda for the Study of Entrepreneurial Processes and Possibilities
DESCRIPTION:Innovation and entrepreneurship lie at the heart of our modern economy. Yet while scholars have long examined the economic drivers of innovation and entrepreneurship\, we know less about the cultural forces which shape these dynamics. To the extent that the existing entrepreneurship literature has considered how culture shapes innovation and entrepreneurship\, it has mainly been viewed as a constraining force which limited and hindered the creation of novelty. This is especially true for economic approaches to entrepreneurship and innovation. I will present ideas from a forthcoming book in development with Mary Ann Glynn that leverages contemporary cultural approaches to entrepreneurship that were\, in part\, seeded by our 2001 SMJ paper on cultural entrepreneurship. In contrast to conceptualizing culture as a normative constraint\, recent scholarship draws more from Swidler's notion of culture as a toolkit\, highlighting the importance of cultural skill in the context of entrepreneurial action. I will review key arguments from the book that sketches an agenda for future research on cultural entrepreneurship\, highlighting the fruitfulness of a field analytic approach and a focus on projective agency. An example from the development of nanotechnology will be used to illustrate key arguments.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Comparing Roman Hellenisms
DESCRIPTION:Hellenism\, defined as the “adoption or imitation of (elements of) the ancient Greek language\, culture\, philosophy\, etc.” (OED) is central to Roman civilization throughout long periods of its history. Consequently many important aspects of Roman culture and society come into sharper focus through examining the specific forms that Roman Hellenism took at different times\, in different places\, and in different media. These include changes in processes of acculturation at Rome\, in how the Romans’ created meaning and identity\, in the ways various art forms expressed cultural values\, etc. Yet the matter of what scholars do when they compare Roman Hellenisms\, and the practical and conceptual issues that such acts of comparison presuppose and raise\, have never received a focused study of their own. \n\nThe organizers of this conference have sought papers addressing this problem. The conference features an international list of speakers combining major scholars from outside the University with faculty at U-M. It includes researchers working in a variety of fields (archaeology\, literature\, history\, art history) and historical periods (from Rome’s origins to Late Antiquity) so as to encourage the most wide-ranging discussion possible.\n\nSchedule of events:\n\nFriday\, September 28\n\n2:00 Welcome\n\nPanel I: Re-Inventing and Re-Presenting Roman History\, Art\, and Literature\n\n2:15 David Potter (University of Michigan)\, \"Lycophron\, Cato and the Invention of Italian History\"\n\n2:45 Roman Roth (University of Cape Town)\, \"‘Inuenio et Pythagorae et Alcibiadi in cornibus comitii positas’ (Plin.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Comp Lit Alumni Panel: Looking Backward\, Looking Forward
DESCRIPTION:Join alumni Sara Grewal\, Ramon Stern\, and Bram Acosta as they address diversity\, equity\, and inclusion within the context of Comparative Literature. By drawing on their own experiences at the University of Michigan and their home institutions\, alumni will discuss the obstacles that women and underrepresented students experience to timely completion and develop strategies to support them. To this end\, they will address the following questions: What obstacles  to your health\, wellbeing\, and education did you encounter? How did you find allies? How can you be allies to others? How do you foster a collegial environment? What forms of collaboration did you value when you were in grad school? How did your perspectives shift throughout and after your graduate school experience?\n\nThis panel is aimed at Comparative Literature graduate students. Refreshments provided.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminar | Black Holes\, Nuggets\, & Blobs. Oh my!
DESCRIPTION:The past few years have seen a growing interest to explore dark matter candidates that are outside of the standard WIMP / axion paradigms.  A resurgence of macroscopic dark matter candidates have brought with it a mix of whimsical names — primordial black holes\, asymmetric dark matter nuggets\, and dark blobs — to name a few.  In general the difficulty with macro dark matter is not the observational constraints\, which are typically quite sparse and weak\, but rather the challenge is finding a well-motivated mechanism for producing gram-sized dark matter objects.  In this talk\, I will argue that “dark quark nuggets” are a generic prediction of confining\, hidden-sector gauge theories.  I will discuss the phenomenology of these theories\, the cosmological production of dark quark nuggets\, and their observational probes.

The photographs speak to the close relationship of these communities with the natural and spiritual worlds. They record the daily lives of the Maya but also evoke their underlying world of mystical and religious experience -- the rituals that give continuity and permanence in a world of disposable culture. The work focuses on indigenous healers\, many of whom are women believed to have connections with the supernatural. They use ancient Maya practices and derive theirpower and knowledge from dreams. These rituals survive despite the genocide of the Maya people perpetrated over several decades until 1996. The resurgence of Maya identity in the renewal of formerly suppressed Maya practices celebrates the endurance of indigenous cultures. \n\nFran Antmann is a photographer\, writer and educator. She teaches photography at Baruch College\, CUNY. Her photographic work has focused on the lives and culture of theindigenous people of Guatemala and Peru as well as the Dene people of the Western Canadian Arctic and the Inuit of Baffin Island\, Canada. She has received grants from the Ford and J. Paul Getty Foundations\, the Puffin Foundation\, the Social Science Research Council and five NY State Foundation for the Arts fellowships in Photography and Non-Fiction Literature. For over a decade she worked on Maya Healers: A Thousand Dreams withyearly trips to Guatemala. The book is a fiscally sponsored project of the New York Foundation for the Arts\, a finalist for the 2017 Lucie Foundation Photo Book Prize and received Honorable Mention from PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris Juried Awards 2018.\n\nFran Antmann is a photographer\, writer and educator.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Under the Feet of Dinosaurs: A New View of Late Cretaceous Landscapes Along the Margin of the Western Interior Seaway
DESCRIPTION:Terrestrial ecosystems occupying the coastal floodplains of western North America during the Late Cretaceous were comprised of diverse assemblages of plants (e.g. gingkos\, conifers and angiosperms) and herbivorous vertebrates (e.g. hadrosaurid and ceratopsid dinosaurs)\, even over relatively small spatial scales. Such taxonomic diversity is unusual\, and begs the question of how these organisms were distributed over\, and were influenced by\, the landscapes they occupied. In an effort to answer this question\, stable isotope isotope data have been collected from hadrosaurid tooth enamel & dentine\, gar fish scales\, paleosol alkanes and carbonate nodules\, and micritic pond carbonates of the Campanian-aged Kaiparowits Formation in southern Utah. Results suggest the existence of fluvial systems akin to those of present-day Cambodia\, with interfluves impacted by episodic flooding and the resultant mixing of water from low and high elevation sources.  Carbon cycling in interfluve soils took place via oxidation and/or methanogenesis\, depending on soil drainage/the degree of seasonal flooding.  Vegetation appears to track landscape-scale variations in hydrology and carbon cycling\, with closed-canopy and open–canopy forests associated with wetter and drier environments\, respectively.  In turn\, the movement of dinosaurs appears to track vegetation\, with different groups eating vegetation from only one type of forest or the other. Taken together\, these results suggest that differences in soil drainage over a landscape allowed for the occurrence of many unique floral assemblages in close proximity\, each of which supported its own faunal assemblage.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Buddhism\, Secularism and the Pyrrhic Constitutionalism of Sri Lanka
DESCRIPTION:More than half of all constitutions in South and Southeast Asia give special privileges and/or status to a single religion. Despite this fact\, most scholars still treat these types of laws as though they were anomalous. Aside from transgressing the presumed neutrality of contemporary public law\, religiously preferential constitutions are also assumed to give clear political or economic advantages to members of the preferred religious groups.\n\nYet\, are these worries valid? Are religious supremacy clauses always an unequivocal boon for the majority religious groups? Moreover\, when it comes to the functioning of constitutional law in society\, how different are mechanism and effects of religiously preferential constitutions compared with secular ones?\n\nDrawing on my recent book\, and ongoing research\, I explore these questions in the context of Sri Lanka—a country that\, for the last four decades\, has given Buddhism special constitutional status. Through an analysis of Buddhist doctrine\, monastic practices and legal theory I hope to complicate existing wisdom about the effects of religious supremacy clauses and to challenge the assumed binary opposition between secular constitutions and religious preferential ones.  \n\nBenjamin Schonthal is Associate Professor of Buddhism and Asian Religions at the University of Otago\, in New Zealand. His research examines the intersections of religion\, law and politics in late-colonial and contemporary Southern Asia\, with a particular focus on Buddhism and law in Sri Lanka. His work appears in The Journal of Asian Studies\, Modern Asian Studies\, the International Journal of Constitutional Law and other places. Ben's first book\, Buddhism\, Politics and the Limits of Law\, appeared with Cambridge University Press in 2016. His current project\, supported by the Marsden Fund of the Royal Society of New Zealand\, examines the lived practices of monastic law in contemporary Sri Lanka and their links with state-legal structures.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Folded Viral RNAs that Sense and Manipulate the Host Cell Machinery: Windows to RNA Structure-Based Regulation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: RNA is perhaps the most functionally diverse biological macromolecule\, due in large part to its ability to adopt a wide range of conformationally dynamic structures. The Kieft Lab is interested in understanding how RNA can adopt diverse three-dimensional folds\, how those folds give rise to its many biological roles\, and how conformational changes confer RNA’s ability to regulate so many processes. We are particularly interested in viral RNAs\, which are fine-tuned by evolution to elegantly and powerfully interact with and manipulate the cellular machinery of the host cell\; these viral RNAs provide a “window” into the greater RNA world. In this presentation\, I will present some of our recent findings in regard to a viral RNA that adopts an unexpected tertiary structure. This RNA element undergoes programmed conformational changes that are triggered by its interactions with the host cell machinery and this is responsible for its unique function. This RNA may be a paradigm for novel modes of regulation linked to dynamic RNA conformational changes.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistical Models for Analyzing Dynamic Social Network Data
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Due in part to the ubiquity of online social networks these days\, interest in analyzing social network data has spread beyond its traditional home in the social sciences to many other disciplines including physics\, computer science\, statistics\, and engineering. A topic of significant importance in social network analysis is the creation of statistical models for social network data. Many social network data involve relations between people observed at multiple points in time and are thus dynamic network data. In this talk\, I introduce several statistical models for analyzing two types of dynamic network data. Discrete-time network data\, also known as network panel data\, represent the structure of the social network at regular time intervals\, e.g. over each week or each month.Continuous-time network data\, also known as timestamped network or relational event data\, are collected with finer granularity on the time and at irregular time intervals. I demonstrate how these models can be used to infer network structures and how they evolve over time on several dynamic social network data sets\, including a network of physical proximities between people at a university and a network of wall posts between users on Facebook.\n\nBio: Kevin S.

SUMMARY:Performance:Symphony Band
DESCRIPTION:Michael Haithcock\, conductor\nDanielle Gonzalez\, soloist\, SMTD Concerto Competition winner\n\nPre-concert conversation with Judy Bozone\, Danielle Gonzalez\, and Michael Haithcock at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.\n\nFour movements of Mozart’s “magnificent and sublime” Gran Partita recall the work’s premiere in 1784. This timeless classic is contrasted with the premiere of a composition by Judy Bozone\, a recent U-M alumna\, based on her recollections of living in Thailand. Higdon’s Percussion Concerto exploits the traditions of the classical concerto form infused with her award-winning compositional language. Premiered in Hill Auditorium in 1967\, Nelson’s Rocky Point Holiday was an instant classic and has been an audience favorite for more than half a century!\n\nPROGRAM: Mozart- Serenade No.10 “Gran Partita”\, Mvt. 1\, 3\, 4\, and 7\; Judy Bozone- Spilled Orange (premiere performance)\; Jennifer Higdon- Percussion Concerto\, Danielle Gonzalez\, soloist\; Ron Nelson- Rocky Point Holiday
