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.

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.

A sign for gender inclusive bathrooms in a Jewish Community Center. A Christmas tree adorned with rainbow-colored ornaments and a Star of David topper. These are three of the 21 photos-with-narratives that constitute “Hineinu – Here We Are: An LGBTQ+ Jewish Photovoice Exhibit.” Combined with rich\, thought-provoking text\, these photos give insight into the varied experiences of local community members who are both Jewish and queer.\n\n“Photovoice” is the process of putting cameras in the hands of traditionally “voiceless” or marginalized community members to allow them to record\, reflect on\, and share their community’s strengths and concerns. Photovoice participants have the opportunity to capture their current experiences through pictures\, with the goal of sparking dialogue and action related to the themes depicted in the photos.\n\nAs you view this Photovoice exhibit\, we hope that you will consider what it means to be inclusive and welcoming\, and that you will continue to develop an awareness of the diversity of other people’s experiences both within and outside of the Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities.

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.

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.

Some of the reasons suggested for this recession have been a disillusionment with the prevailing democratic models that\, for all their benefits\, often limit popular participation. The banner of participatory democracy has been hoisted by social movements\, by scholars from different disciplines and has also made an appearance in cultural production. This conference proposes to look into what role culture plays in broaching possible crises of the democratic model\, how culture participates in the discussion of current democratic models in the cultural and linguistic spheres\, and how culture can strengthen and/or expand democracy. The concept of democracy is understood here as a broad umbrella theme that implies different paradigms of belonging and social inclusion and applies to various disciplines.\n\nKeynote speakers will include: Alexandra Lucas Coelho (Portuguese writer)\, Luiz Ruffato (Brazilian writer)\, Sidney Chalhoub (Brazilian historian\, Harvard University)\, and Kalaf Epalanga (Angolan-Portuguese writer and musician)\n\nThe full conference schedule and registration information are available on the APSA website:\n\nhttp://apsa.us/apsa-international-conference-2018/\n\nEnglish/Portuguese UID:56413-13896809@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56413 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Africa,Film,Latin America,Literature,Multicultural,Music,Portuguese LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)

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:52176-12520839@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:20181102T063024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181018T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181018T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Meet Mortenson at SWE National Conference DESCRIPTION:Mortenson is a family-owned\, privately-held corporation.

I use a variety of 16th and 17th-century botanical images\, from Chinese plum blossoms to German botanicals\, as starting points for each drawing. Rather than alluding to an actual landscape\, I instead combine species of plants in the same drawing that would not customarily exist together in nature. Obsessive handwork creates intricate layers of visual information to be discovered over time and\, in this way\, the works become a seductive meditation for the viewer.\n\nI use botanical motifs to create images that are universally associated with growth and continuity. My deeper intent is to conjure the ‘flower’ as an active\, forceful agent\, subverting a culturally conditioned point of view that often deems the ephemeral and the organic as less powerful and of limited value. My ‘wonderland’ presents a view of life that pulses with expansive fecundity\; hopefully\, it also propels comprehension of the connectedness of all beings within the limitless energy operating throughout this world.\n\nWhen making art for public spaces\, I strive to invest these commissions with similar content\, while bringing beauty and a high level of craft to a particular environment. As I conceive and develop each piece\, I respond to the specifics of the surrounding architecture\, ecosystem\, and community in an effort to compellingly meet the needs of the site. My studio practice\, in turn\, is invigorated by opportunities to design work in relationship to an existing framework\, and the special demands and responsibilities this process entails.

Her research interests include the development of new methods for nuclear materials detection\, identification\, and characterization for nuclear nonproliferation\, nuclear material control and accountability\, nuclear safeguards\, and national security programs. Prof. Pozzi is the director of the Consortium for Verification Technology\, a consortium of 12 universities and 9 national laboratories dedicated to the development of new technologies for nuclear treaty verification.\n\nSince the discovery of fission\, nuclear chain reactions\, and nuclear weapons\, preventing the spread of nuclear weapons has become a top priority for our nation and the world. Several international treaties have been put into place to curb the expansion of nuclear capabilities. Nevertheless\, there are states that may be pursuing elements of an overt or covert nuclear weapons program. New science and technology developments are needed to verify the existing or proposed treaties in this area and to ensure that nuclear weapons are never used again.\n\nThis is the last of a six-lecture series. The subject is The Koreas – More Than You Know. The next lecture series starts October 25th and runs through December 6th. The subject is Immigration.

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.

In so doing\, they set in motion a series of forces that dramatically reshaped the ritual means by which urban residents mediated their relationship with their physical environment and with the increasingly agitated superhuman world. In this talk I shall argue that a series of aural anomalies recorded in the court histories illustrates a remarkable shift in the ritual means by which the court engaged its newly-built environment of wooden structures that went bump in the night.\n\nMichael Como (B.A.\, Harvard\; Ph.D.\, Stanford University)\, is the Tōshū Fukami Associate Professor of Shinto Studies at Columbia University. His research focuses on the religious history of the Japanese islands from the Asuka through the early Heian periods\, with a particular focus upon the Chinese and Korean deities\, rites and technological systems that were transmitted to the Japanese islands during this time. He is currently working on a new monograph that focuses upon urbanization and the materiality of Japanese ritual performance and interpretation in the eighth and ninth centuries.

Our group has been working on developing a facile route to access inorganic/organic hybrid aromatic species via ring insertion reactions with anti-aromatic BC4 heterocycles\, namely boroles. The insertion chemistry has been effective for the preparation of 1\,2-azaborine\, 1\,2-phoaphaborine\, 1\,2-oxaborine\, and 1\,2-thiaborine heteroarenes which all have lower band gaps\, red-shifted absorbances\, and larger dipole moments in comparison to their carbonaceous counterpart\, benzene. Ongoing efforts are focused on enhancing the electronic properties of these boracycles to explore their utility in electronic materials. Our current strategy is to extend conjugation in the inorganic/organic hybrid arenes by utilizing borole-based starting materials with conjugation installed. The mechanisms of these reactions and properties of the boracycles will be discussed. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCaleb Martin (Baylor University) UID:55724-13777498@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55724 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1706 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181012T093816 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181018T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181018T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Trait-based approaches to plankton ecology & evolution DESCRIPTION:NOTE TIME & LOCATION CHANGE\n\nAbstract\nTrait-based approaches are increasingly seen as a way to reduce the complexity of ecological communities and to incorporate functional diversity in ecosystem models. In this talk I will present Elena Litchman's and my lab's work applying trait-based ideas to marine and freshwater plankton communities. First\, I will describe empirical patterns in the resource utilization and thermal traits we found using meta-analyses of published eco-physiological traits. Second\, I will discuss trait-based approaches to modeling ecological and eco-evolutionary dynamics and how they can enhance our understanding of community structure in heterogeneous environments. Finally\, I will describe recent theory on how local selection and immigration from the regional species pool interact to determine distribution of commonness and rarity in ecological communities and an experimental test.

She published a single collection of short fiction in 1919 that was dismissed by some critics for its embrace of prose narrative techniques that made her more akin to Flaubert than to Sholem Aleichem. The lore about Shtok is that traumatized by negative reviews\, she died in an asylum. However\, this was not true: she continued to write in Yiddish\, and died in LA years after news of her tragic death. This talk offers a revised account of Yiddish modernism\, one that acknowledges the centrality of woman to the modern Jewish revolution.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

The capability to change configuration during use of a system offers dramatically improved performance by replacing the single static geometry that represents a compromise across use cases left unattended to complete its design life\, with a state-changing system capable of a range of geometries each customized for the particular operating condition. The presentation will touch on the complexity added with incorporating active means to control formerly passive components\, and the ensuing need for sensing and intelligence. \n\nApplying any new technology to aviation involves a number of technical\, financial\, cultural and regulatory challenges. Applying to rotary-wing propulsion introduces yet more. The presentation will address the relationship between the push by researchers and developers to insert new technology\, the pull required by operators and users\, and the variety and impacts of risks on the perspective of each. \n\nThe presentation will address the challenges to be overcome for rotary-wing adaptation in aviation\, some of them in work and some still ahead\, in the context of nature’s aviation examples and the history of manufactured morphing aircraft.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nDaniel Newman is a Senior Technical Fellow of the Boeing Company in aircraft configuration design and development. He serves as Chief Engineer for the Advanced Vertical Lift organization in Defense\, Space\, and Security\, responsible for the technical integrity of research for a full range of runway independent technologies\, products and services including rotorcraft\, tiltrotor and powered lift aircraft.

Take Up and Impacts of Digital Loans in Kenya DESCRIPTION:Developing world lenders are taking advantage of fintech tools to create fully digital loans on mobile phones. We investigate the take up and impacts of one of the most popular digital loan products\, M-Shwari in Kenya\, using a regression discontinuity design. While 34% of those eligible for the loan take it\, this does not substitute for other formal or informal credit. The loans improve household resilience against shocks and increase their propensity to spend on education. These digital loans could therefore be an important way to improve financial access\, but they are not a panacea for greater credit market failures.

Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life\, reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past. An important aspect of mindfulness is developing a non-judgmental\, accepting\, even curious\, attitude about your moment-to-moment experience. The more you develop this attitude\, the less you will feel overwhelmed by changes and challenges in your life.\n\nKoru is designed to introduce you to the practice of mindfulness and get you well on your way to developing this important skill. Like learning any new skill\, it takes practice to get comfortable with mindfulness. We invite you to devote yourself to the study and practice of mindfulness over the next four weeks\, and we challenge you to stay curious about what evolves for you as you persistently and patiently practice living mindfully. We also have a free mobile app to track meditation practices for this course!\n\nFor any questions\, please contact Hitomi Katsumi at hkat@umich.edu.

She explores the troubling questions of how to document life and what is worthy of preservation. Poor’s early work captured the various commonplace ways that individuals leave their marks on the world\, including fingerprints\, stains\, human hair\, and dryer lint. In 2011\, Poor’s driving question\, “what is worthy of preservation?” led her to San Quentin State Prison to teach classes on the history of photography for the Prison University Project. This experience changed the focus of her practice and the visual presentation of her ideas. She now spends the majority of her “studio” time inside the prison working with a group of mostly lifers on photographic projects and producing radio stories about life inside via her radio show and podcast\, Ear Hustle. Poor’s work has been shown at many institutions\, including the San Jose Museum of Art\, the Institute of Contemporary Art in San Jose\, Friends of Photography\, SF Camerawork\, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art\, the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego\, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C.\, and the Haines Gallery in San Francisco.\n\nSupported by the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) and U-M Institute for the Humanities.

In order to answer those questions\, they need some ability to extract meaning from the data they generate. Data science has recently risen to prominence for its abilities not only to extract this meaning\, but also to turn that meaning into actionable\, data-driven predictions. Combining HPC and data science can allow a researcher to more easily ask questions and discover answers leading to even deeper questions. However\, despite these benefits\, it can be difficult for full-time researchers to learn an emerging field with no guidance while still producing research.To reduce this barrier\, the Scientific Computing Student Club (SC2) presents the HPC and Data Science Workshop Series. For eight weeks in the Fall semester\, we will meet once a week to discuss HPC and Data Science topics\, focusing on how elements of HPC and data science can reinforce research and discovery. There will be no one instructor for this workshop\; instead we will have guest speakers from SC2\, ARC-TS\, MICDE\, and even MathWorks (MATLAB). Attendance at all workshops is encouraged\, but not required. Pizza will be provided.

Moss discusses his penetrating book that documents and analyzes US-Soviet back channels from Nixon’s inauguration through what has widely been heralded as the apex of détente\, the May 1972 Moscow Summit. Nixon’s Back Channel to Moscow reveals the behind-the-scenes deliberations of Nixon\, his advisors\, and their Soviet counterparts and assesses the central role of confidential diplomacy in shaping America’s foreign policy during this critical era. \nOver the course of his presidency\, Nixon worked to achieve détente - - the relaxing of tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union - - largely through a back-channel diplomatic relationship between Henry Kissinger\, Nixon’s national security advisor\, and Soviet ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin. But Nixon was also wary of press leaks and distrustful of traditional channels of diplomacy\, and would intentionally exclude other parts of the government\, including his own secretary of state. Moss suggests that while Nixon’s back channels may have improved U.S.-Soviet relations in the short term\, the Nixon-Kissinger methods provided a poor foundation for lasting policy. \nRichard Moss is an Associate Research Professor at the United States Naval War College’s Center for Naval Warfare Studies\, and specializes in U.S.-Soviet relations during the Cold War and is an expert on the Nixon presidential recordings.\nFree Admission.

The breathtaking image of Scottish landscapes and an eventful visit to Fingal’s oceanic cave inspired young Mendelssohn to write the Hebrides Overture\, his most famously haunting orchestral piece often considered a predecessor of a tone poem. Two great examples of that same genre will complete the program: Webern’s Im Sommerwind (In the Summer Wind)\, a very suggestive and beautiful early work that the composer himself never heard\, and The Golden Spinning Wheel\, Dvořák’s prominent tone poem and one of his last and most mature orchestral compositions.\n\nPROGRAM: Mendelssohn- Hebrides\; Webern- Im Sommerwind\; Dvořák- The Golden Spinning Wheel UID:53494-13392457@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53494 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
