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: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:Exhibition:David Cope: Player of Invisible Keys
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope\, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the \"leading lights of the next generation.\" This exhibit draws on drafts\, proofs\, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.\n\nWorking most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff\, Carl Rakosi\, and George Oppen\, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally\, for more than forty years\, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine\, The Big Scream\, providing a venue for more than 200 poets\, including both big names names and younger\, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year\, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.\n\nOn view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday\, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Ultrasound Elasticity Imaging and Therapeutics\"
DESCRIPTION:Elasticity imaging techniques aim at the detection of tissue abnormalities following an external\, internal or inherent mechanical stimulation. By taking advantage of the additional depth information provided by ultrasound imaging\, the local tissue response (i.e.\, displacement\, strain and/or vibration amplitude) that depends on its mechanical properties can be imaged. After introducing methods for 2D and 3D strain estimation\, examples will be shown on imaging of normal and pathological myocardium in finite-element models and in vivo murine\, canine and human subjects. Elasticity Imaging developed by our group also expands to Pulse Wave Imaging for the characterization of abdominal aortic aneurysms and atherosclerotic plaques in vivo\, Electromechanical Wave Imaging for the assessment of the conduction properties of the myocardium and the radiation-force-based oscillatory technique of Harmonic Motion Imaging (HMI) for the characterization of breast and pancreatic tumors during tumor progression as well as after chemotherapeutic treatment.\n         In the second part of this lecture\, therapeutic ultrasound techniques will be introduced together with application of elasticity imaging for simultaneous monitoring of the treatment procedures. Most precisely\, Focused Ultrasound (FUS) for ablation of tumors substantially modifies the tissue stiffness by up to a ten-fold in order to annihilate their function. By monitoring this stiffness change\, HMI can successfully detect the temperature rise and coagulation onset during treatment. An all ultrasound-based system providing simultaneous tumor detection and treatment application as well as monitoring will be described. Finally\, brain applications for drug delivery through the opening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for brain drug delivery in conjunction with microbubbles will be shown as well as neuromodulation of both the peripheral and central nervous system.\n\nElisa Konofagou\, Ph.D.\, is a Robert and Margaret Hariri Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology at Columbia University.

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:Lecture / Discussion:THE MYTH OF THE LINE
DESCRIPTION:David Thronson is Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the Michigan State University College of Law. He also teaches immigration law at the University of Michigan as a visiting professor. Thronson’s research focuses on the intersection of family law and immigration law\, in particular on the impact of immigration law on children.\n\nU.S. immigration law is hotly debated yet widely misunderstood. Even as intense political battles surround immigration law and policy\, such fights are often unencumbered by accurate perceptions of the general nature and details of our nation’s immigration system. Immigration is an issue that implicates fundamental national and personal values\, but we cannot attempt to find common ground on these without a shared and accurate understanding of how our immigration system actually functions.\n\nThis is the third in a series of six weekly lectures. The subject is immigration. The next lecture will be on November 15. The title is THE REAL IMMIGRATION DEBATE: WHOM TO LET IN AND WHY.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Nancy Blum\, RC Class of '85
DESCRIPTION:RC alumna '85 Nancy Blum returns to East Quad to exhibit her drawings of flowers and to deliver the 10/19 Robertson Lecture on her public art installations. \n\nExcerpted from her artist statement:\nMy large‐scale works on paper\, rendered in ink\, colored pencil\, gouache and graphite\, portray a fantastic realm in which flowers own the space. 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.

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.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Labor Economics: The Contribution of Immigrants to Innovation in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  \n\nWe characterize the contribution of immigrants to US innovation\, both through their direct productivity as well as through their indirect spillover effects on native inventors. To do so\, we link patent records to a database containing the first five digits of millions of Social Security Numbers (SSN). By combining the first five digits of SSN together with year of birth\, we identify whether individuals are immigrants based on the age at which their Social Security Number is assigned. We establish several results. We find that over the course of their careers\, immigrants are more productive than natives\, as measured by number of patents\, patent citations\, and the economic value of these patents. Immigrant inventors are more likely to rely on foreign technologies\, to collaborate with foreign inventors\, and to be cited in foreign markets\, thus contributing to the importation and diffusion of ideas across borders. Using an identification strategy that exploits premature deaths\, we find that immigrants create greater positive spillovers and contribute more to team-specific capital than natives. A simple decomposition suggests that 30.4% of aggregate US innovation since 1976 can be attributed to immigrants\, with their indirect spillover effects accounting for more than twice their direct productivity contribution.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Archaeological Interpretations of Hunter-Gatherer Lifeways in the Past: Questioning Traditional Assumptions
DESCRIPTION:In the 1970s and 1980s\, under the banner of “processual archaeology\,” new ideas such as logistically organized hunting strategies\, embedded toolstone procurement as indicator of annual foraging range\, biface technology as response to transport constraints\, and many others provided innovative ways to think about the archaeological record. These were small yet bold steps away from the field’s traditional obsession with description\, typology\, and chronology toward a more anthropologically grounded endeavor. But over the intervening years many of these ideas have become fossilized\, transformed from interesting hypotheses to unquestioned “givens.” What has genuinely continued to advance over this period is our understanding of chronology\, paleoclimate\, and many technical matters. But our understanding of past hunter-gatherers as real peoples with real cultures—the anthropological part of the endeavor—has progressed much more slowly\, in part because we remain wedded to a host of underlying assumptions\, some flawed\, others very likely wrong. In this brown bag I will identify a number of these\, and provide reasons why I think they are in serious need of a fresh look.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Past as a Foreign Country: Remembering Spain in Ottoman Lands
DESCRIPTION:In June 2015\, the Spanish government approved legislation granting citizenship to the descendants of Jews expelled from Spain in 1492. This political development\, described by Spain’s Justice Minister as a “historic reparation of … the greatest mistake in Spanish history\,” has sparked a flurry of interest from Jews of Iberian origin across the globe—from Latin America and the U.S. to Israel and Turkey. Based on the assumption of Sephardi Jews’ continued cultural identification with their one-time homeland\, the law promises to reward their “fidelity and special ties to Spain.” Yet\, the precise nature of this historic relationship\, explains historian Julia Phillips Cohen\, is more complex than such characterizations suggest. Using the present debates as a point of departure\, her talk probes the evolution of Sephardi Jews’ ties to Spain in the centuries following their expulsion.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

DESCRIPTION:Are social behaviors heritable? If so\, how are they likely to respond to selection? This talk addresses these questions for two important social behaviors — social grooming and aggressive behavior —  in a well-studied wild primate population\, the baboons of the Amboseli basin in southern Kenya. We took a quantitative genetics approach to this problem\, using the large existing pedigree for this population to estimate both the heritability of these traits and to simultaneously examine how these traits are influenced by  environmental variables. To frame our work in terms of its likely implications for understanding natural selection\, we also examined key female life history traits and investigated the evidence for life history tradeoffs — between reproduction and survival\, and between current and future reproduction — in our population.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:New Perspectives on the Piano Movers' Problem
DESCRIPTION:In 1979\, Schwartz and Sharir introduced the Piano Movers' Problem --- move a piano in a cluttered home from start to goal without bumping into obstacles --- as a formalism for robot motion planning\, spawning generations of research on graph search\, trajectory optimization and randomized algorithms. Now\, motion planning is a technology. But yet\, surprisingly\, there are several fundamental questions unanswered. In this talk\, I will address two of them. The first\, is a unifying formalism for search called LazySP [winner of the Best Paper Award at ICAPS 2018]\, that provides a single meta-algorithm capable of expressing several search algorithms like A*\, Lazy A*\, bidirectional A*\, effortlessly. This formalism enables a surprisingly easy answer to a question that has been open for decades: is there an edge-optimal A* algorithm? The second is a formal connection between motion planning and machine learning\, via Bayesian Active Learning [NIPS 2017\, IJCAI 2018]\, which sets up an efficient algorithm for balancing exploration and exploitation for searching for shortest paths over graphs while exploiting the history of previous problems encountered.\n\nSiddhartha Srinivasa is the Boeing Endowed Professor at The Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington\, and an IEEE Fellow. He is a full-stack roboticist\, with the goal of enabling robots to perform complex manipulation tasks under uncertainty and clutter\, with and around people. To this end\, he founded the Personal Robotics Lab in 2005. He was a PI on the Quality of Life Technologies NSF ERC\, DARPA ARM-S and the DARPA Robotics Challenge\, has built several robots (HERB\, ADA\, CHIMP)\, and has written software frameworks (OpenRAVE\, DART) and best-paper award winning algorithms (CBiRRT\, CHOMP\, BIT*\, Legibility\, LazySP) used extensively by roboticists around the world. Sidd received a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 1999\, and a PhD in 2005 from the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. He played badminton and tennis for IIT Madras\, captained the CMU squash team\, and lately runs competitively.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS) Workshop. Sainthood Between the Ineffable and Social Practice: Jesus Christ in the Writings of Muhyi al-Din Ibn al-Arabi and Later Sufism
DESCRIPTION:This dissertation investigates the various portrayals of ʿĪsā b. Maryam (Jesus son of Mary) in the thought of the Andalusian mystic Muḥyī al-Dīn Ibn al-ʿArabī (d. 1240) and later Sufism\, specifically the teachings of two celebrated North African mystics\, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Dabbāgh (d. 1719) and Aḥmad al-Tījānī (d. 1815). After discussing the organization and methodology of the research in the Introduction\, chapter two explores the corpus of secondary references on Jesus in Islam and Ibn al-ʿArabī studies. Thenceforth\, chapters three and four delve into Christ’s presence in Ibn al-ʿArabī’s Meccan Openings and Bezels of Wisdom respectively. The results of this analysis is then used to gauge the son of Mary’s depictions in the teachings of al-Dabbāgh and al-Tījānī\; all the while also situating Ibn al-ʿArabī’s own image in these later mystics’ Weltanschauungs. Lastly\, the concluding chapter synthesizes the results from chapters three\, four and five in an attempt to answer some overarching questions regarding the importance of Jesus for Sufi mystics like Ibn al-ʿArabī\, al-Dabbāgh and al-Tījānī. In this regard\, the emphasis in this final chapter pertains not only to the concepts in these saints’ writings\, but the contexts in which these concepts arise and insights that they provide into the unique pedagogical and writing styles of these Sufi authors. It is in this last sense that the dissertation contributes to the ongoing research in Sufi intellectual history by also considering the religious concerns and approaches of Sufi figures in Islamic history. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to IslamicStudies@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Vietnam Discussion Group. Monitoring Sustainable Development Goals Implementation in Viet Nam through a Citizen-Centric Measuring Tool
DESCRIPTION:The Viet Nam Provincial Governance and Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI) is Viet Nam’s largest annual time-series\, citizen-centric\, nationwide policy monitoring tool. Over the nine years of its operation\, PAPI has collected the views of 103\,059 randomly selected citizens about the country’s performance in governance and public administration\, based on their direct interactions with local governments at different levels. PAPI generates information about the actual performance of local authorities in meeting citizen needs. By doing so\, it has created constructive competition and promoted learning among local authorities\, while enabling citizens to benchmark their local government’s performance and advocate for improvements. \n    \n   Ultimately\, PAPI helps Viet Nam to identify areas that need greater attention as the country rolls out its national agenda for sustainable development towards 2030. In the same spirit as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that Viet Nam has committed to\, PAPI puts citizens at the heart of Viet Nam’s development. As ‘end users’ of public administration and public services\, citizens are fully capable of assessing the performance of the central and local authorities and of supporting the country in building a State “of the people\, by the people and for the people.” \n    \n   This article presents a snapshot of key findings from the 2017 PAPI research. The 2017 PAPI Report provides data and analysis about the country’s performance in governance and public administration\, as drawn from citizens’ direct interactions and experiences with local governments at different levels in 2017 and over time. It captures experiences and perceptions related to the performance of local governments in governance and public administration based on a survey of 14\,097 citizens with different demographic characteristics\, randomly selected from all 63 provinces. The report also indicates opportunities and challenges in monitoring and assessment of Viet Nam’s progress in implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. \n\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:Lecture / Discussion:Lise Meitner: Her Escape from Germany and the Discovery of Fission
DESCRIPTION:Please join us! \n\n Title: \"Lise Meitner: Her Escape from Germany and the Discovery of Fission\"\n\nAbstract: Lise Meitner was one of the pioneers of nuclear physics and co-discoverer\, with Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann\, of nuclear fission. Albert Einstein once called her “the most significant woman scientist of the 20th century.” Yet by the 1970s\, her name was nearly forgotten. With the publication of the book by Ruth Lewin Sime\, “Lise Meitner\, A life in physics\,” to some extent her name has resurfaced. The chronology of the discovery of fission is considerably more complex than the facts\, and clouded by events beyond the world of science. The facts are that on January 6\, 1939\, Hahn and Strassmann reported in Naturwissenschaften their chemical findings for fission. On February 11\, 1939\, Meitner and Frisch published in Nature the physical interpretation of the process they named fission. In 1944\, Otto Hahn alone received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for his discovery of the fission of heavy nuclei.”\n\nI became familiar with Lise Meitner and her story when\, in 1972\, Dr. Sime started writing my father for details about Lise Meitner's escape from Germany. This is because in July 1938\, my grandfather\, Dirk Coster\, was the person who escorted her out of Germany. In Sime's book\, Meitner's escape from Germany reads like a spy novel\, except that it is completely based in fact. At age 59\, Meitner left Germany forever with 10 marks in her purse\, one small suitcase\, and a diamond ring given to her by Otto Hahn that he had inherited from his mother.\n\nThis talk will be a combination of facts\, excerpts from the film\, “Path to Nuclear Fission: The Story of Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn” (a film by Rosemarie Reed)\, and personal stories heard from my father\, aunts\, and uncles. Lise Meitner's early years\, her role in the discovery of nuclear fission\, her escape from Germany\, and the consequences that followed will be covered. Of special interest to this group is the involvement of Samuel Goudsmit\, a friend of my grandfather’s and a professor at the University of Michigan from 1927 and 1946.\n\nDr. Anthea Coster is an assistant director and principal research scientist at MIT Haystack Observatory. Dr. Anthea Coster has made important contributions in quantifying GPS ionosphere effects and utilization of GPS measurements for ionospheric and atmospheric studies. With expertise in ground-based radio and optical instruments\, and satellite-based measurements\, Dr. Coster successfully compiled data from a myriad of instrumentation sources (the GPS network\, incoherent scatter data from UHF/VHF Radars\, and data from the IMAGE and DMSP satellites) for use in ionospheric research. Her work on analysis of ionospheric effect on satellite tracking\, evaluation of the scintillation model WBMOD\, comparisons between simultaneous GPS and incoherent scatter radar measurements of ionospheric TEC\, and evaluations of several atmospheric density models and their input parameters for use in atmospheric drag calculations represent some of the earliest\, original\, groundbreaking efforts in the field\, and are still widely cited today. Her pioneering efforts in introducing and relating GPS measurements to fundamental ionosphere studies has led to the recognition of GNSS as a viable low-cost\, globally distributed sensor for space weather monitoring and ionosphere remote sensing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE 585 Graduate Seminar Series - Ultra-Short Pulsed Plasmas for Flow and Combustion Control
DESCRIPTION:Atmospheric pressure plasmas are used in applications across a wide range of areas in science and engineering including flow and combustion control\, biomedicine\, materials processing\, nanotechnology\, and environmental engineering.  In recent years\, nanosecond repetitively pulsed (NRP) discharges have attracted great interest due to their extremely efficient generation of excited\, radical\, and ionized species at atmospheric pressure.  It is critical to understand the chemical species production and temperature evolution in these plasmas for advancement of plasma-based technologies.  Such knowledge would permit the development of highly tailored plasma sources that can produce plasmas with spatio-temporal and thermochemical characteristics that are customized to a variety of applications with broad societal impact. This presentation will provide an overview of current research efforts at Purdue University on development and characterization of plasma actuators based on NRP discharges for use as flow and combustion control devices.  Development of time-resolved plasma measurement techniques using streak-spectroscopy and ultrafast lasers will be presented.  Efforts to characterize the local flow field induced by the rapid plasma heating using optical diagnostics will also be discussed.  Finally\, ongoing work to employ these NRP plasmas for control of high-speed flows and combustion will be presented. \n\nAbout The Speaker...\nSally Bane is an Assistant Professor in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University.  She received her B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Virginia and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Aeronautics from the California Institute of Technology.  Dr. Bane’s research interests lie in two primary areas:  plasmas for aerospace applications and combustion dynamics.   Her research group conducts a broad range of research on pulsed nonequilibrium plasmas\, including efforts on ultra-fast plasma measurements and optical diagnostics\, plasmas for high-speed flow control\, and plasma-assisted ignition and combustion. In 2016\, Dr. Bane received an AFOSR Young Investigator award to investigate plasma-assisted combustion at high pressures.  Dr. Bane also conducts fundamental research on flame and detonation dynamics at Purdue’s Zucrow Laboratories.  She is one of the founding members of the Cold Plasmas Preeminent Team in the College of Engineering at Purdue\, and is an active member of the AIAA Plasmadynamics and Lasers Technical Committee.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM Theory Seminar | Hunting for Correlated Topological Matter: \n\nfrom SmB_6 to a Putative Hourglass Fermion
DESCRIPTION:The combination of strong electronic correlations and non-trivial topology presents a novel paradigm with promising experimental realizations. In this talk I will first discuss the case of SmB_6\, a mixed-valent 4f material predicted to be a topological Kondo insulator. Recent thermal transport\, scanning tunneling microscopy\, and electrical transport measurements indicate that the bulk of SmB_6 is truly insulating whereas its surface states are sensitive to perturbations that break time reversal symmetry. In the second part of my talk\, I will introduce a putative Eu-based topological insulator with nonsymmorphic symmetry\, which has the potential of hosting surface states with hourglass dispersion.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Gendered Language\n\nLanguages use different systems for classifying nouns. Gender languages assign many — sometimes all — nouns to distinct sex-based categories\, masculine and feminine. We construct a new data set\, documenting this property for more than four thousand languages which together account for more than 99 percent of the world’s population. At the cross-country level\, we document a robust negative relationship between prevalence of gender languages and women’s labor force participation. We also show that traditional views of gender roles are more common in countries with more native speakers of gender languages. Our cross-country data also permit a novel permutation test\, demonstrating that the patterns we find are robust to statistical correction for correlation in linguistic structure within language families. We also conduct within-country analysis in two regions where indigenous languages vary in terms of their gender structure. In four countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and in India\, we show that educational attainment and female labor force participation are lower among those whose native languages are gender languages.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: The evolution of extreme phenotypic convergence across fish lineages in the hyper-diverse lower Congo River
DESCRIPTION:Recent estimates of species richness in the Congo basin vary but converge on a number close to 1270. However\, that diversity is not evenly partitioned and the lower Congo River (LCR) is highlighted as a hotspot of species richness and endemism within the basin. In marked contrast to the river upstream of Pool Malebo\, the LCR channel is entirely bedrock\, and littoral habitats are mostly rocky and rock strewn. In situ measurements have recorded dramatic changes in channel topology and in addition to fluctuating bed bathymetry\, regions of extreme depth have also been recorded. A combination of high annual discharge\, steep elevational incline\, and fluctuating channel width and depth result in high-energy flow regimes throughout the system. These hydrological features appear to play a key role in isolating fish populations by restricting both cross-channel and upstream-downstream movement\, and likely present powerful drivers for micro-allopatric isolation often over remarkably small geographical scales.\n\nAmong the many species endemic to the LCR are a group of distantly related fishes exhibiting a striking series of multi-trait morphological convergence (including microphthalmia or eye loss\, depigmentation\, laterosensory enhancement etc.). These “cryptophthalmic” forms have arisen independently in at least six phylogenetically disparate families (Cichlidae\, Mastacembelidae\, Mochokidae\, Claroteidae\, Clariidae\, Mormyridae)\, likely in response to similar selective pressures within the extreme environments of the LCR. Here I will present results of an ongoing investigation to characterize and quantify of this case of extreme eco-morphological convergence.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/YpURqGQKsFM

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Peacetime Aerial Bombing: A Colonial Genealogy for the Ever-Disappearing Civilian
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk examines the \"peacetime\" interwar aerial bombing of Waziristan\, and in particular its visual archive\, to interrogate a colonial genealogy of “civilian” and her chronic disappearance in some arenas of war. If Paul Virilio considered the complicity of the airplane and the camera in constituting a \"military field of perception\,\" it has largely been historically accounted for through the aerial bombing of European cities. Yet such a field of perception was simultaneously forged in colonial landscapes\, amidst the expansion of Geneva conventions to address new technologies of war and fierce debates on colonial technologies of rule. In a forensic search for the \"civilian\" in contingent antiwar and anticolonial solidarities of the time\, can one ground the aerial view to a different kind of accountability? \n\nVazira Fazila-Yacoobali Zamindar is a historian of modern South Asia at Brown University\, with an interest in twentieth century histories of decolonization\, nation-state formation\, displacement\, war\, resistance and the visual archive. Her book\, The Long Partition and the Making of Modern South Asia: Refugees\, Boundaries\, Histories\, was published by Columbia University Press in 2007\, the Indian and Pakistani editions of the book came out in 2008\, and the Urdu translation in 2014. Stories from the book have also been performed by the Delhi-based\, Dastangoi. While minorities\, partitions\, and refugees remain enduring concerns\, she is presently working on a book on the history of archaeology\, visual practices and war on the northwest frontier of British India\, on the borderlands with Afghanistan\, and has received the International Institute of Asian Studies Fellowship\, the Fulbright\, and the National Endowment for Humanities Fellowship\, amongst others\, for this project.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Professor Enrique García Santo-Tomás\, Frank P. Casa Collegiate Professorship in Spanish\, Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Spanish novel enjoyed unparalleled success in the seventeenth century\, either independently or as a short piece gathered in a collection. Although it frequently dealt with different variations of love\, honor\, leisure\, and friendship\, it also explored unspeakable acts like incest\, rape\, pederasty\, and even bestiality. Scholars working on the novel’s trajectory from an Italianate experiment (Miguel de Cervantes) to an allegorized portrayal of city life (Francisco Santos) have shied away from examining these transgressive themes. Incest\, in particular\, presents a fascinating paradox: its treatment in contemporary theater\, usually drawn from myth and folklore\, has been widely studied\, whereas its narrative presence\, freed from tradition and more attuned to the time\, remains largely unexplored. Drawing on historical parameters like the decrees on incest by the Council of Trent as well as on recent debates active in the social sciences and literary studies\, this lecture examines a selection of short stories published at different moments of the century that delved into this taboo. Rather than a form of Baroque excess\, the narrative construction of incest should be examined as a fertile tactic through which the novel engaged with national history\, societal expectations\, civil and canon law\, and the (ever increasing) institutional control over the genre.

SUMMARY:Other:Symmetry Making and Breaking in Seeded Growth of Metal Nanocrystals
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                                                                  Crystal growth theory predicts that heterogeneous nucleation will occur preferentially at defect sites\, such as the vertices rather than the faces of shape-controlled seeds. Platonic metal solids are generally assumed to have vertices with nearly identical chemical potentials\, and also nearly identical faces\, leading to the useful generality that heterogeneous nucleation preserves the symmetry of the original seeds in the final product. This presentation will discuss how this generality can be used to access stellated metal nanocrystals with high and tunable symmetries for applications in plasmonics. This presentation will also discuss the limits of this generality in the extreme of low supersaturation. A strategy for favoring localized deposition that differentiates between both different vertices and different edges or faces\, i.e.\, regioselective deposition\, will be demonstrated. Such regioselective heterogeneous nucleation was achieved at low supersaturation by a kinetic preference for high-energy defect-rich sites over lower-energy sites. This outcome was enhanced by using capping agents to passivate facet sites where deposition was not desired. Collectively\, the results presented provide a model for breaking the symmetry of seeded growth and for achieving regioselective deposition.                                                                                                                                              \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nSara Skrabalak (Indiana University)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:When an engineer has a bad day
DESCRIPTION:Professional Engineers are problem solvers. As part of the design process\, we typically work with others to design solutions to infrastructure problems\, including identifying feasible solutions\, evaluating the alternates\, completing a design and overseeing construction. Professional engineers shall hold paramount the safety\, health and welfare of the public with the design process. However\, what happens when things do not go as planned on a design project? Jon and Catherine will present a case study from a slope failure project. The design process was supposed to stabilize an existing slope supporting a roadway\, but resulted in a failure of a retaining wall. The project details will be presented to demonstrate the “lessons learned” from this project and to provide insight as to what type of issues may result on a project\, even when there is “sound engineering analysis” to support the design.\n\nJonathan Zaremski\, PE\, is currently the Geotechnical Group Manager with Somat Engineering. He received his BS in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Michigan in 1998. Catherine Weirauch\, PE\, is currently a project manager in the geotechnical group at Somat Engineering. She received her BS in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2007.

DESCRIPTION:In this talk Michelle M. Wright will argue that it is the way we tend to frame knowledge--both its formation and its progress--that hinders our ability to both research and represent the contributions not only of marginalized collectives\, but those further marginalized within that collective. Drawing from her book Physics of Blackness: Beyond the Middle Passage Epistemology\, Wright interrogates the linear and explores the possibilities of what she terms \"Epiphenomenal\" spacetime.\n\nMichelle M. Wright is the Augustus Baldwin Longstreet Professor of English at Emory University in Atlanta\, Georgia\, where she teaches courses on gender\, sexuality and race in the Black and African Diaspora.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hetain Patel: Don’t Look at the Finger
DESCRIPTION:Hetain Patel is a conceptually driven British artist and performer who explores themes of identity and freedom with an attentive eye toward casting the widest net possible through the use of digital technologies\, media\, and YouTube. Humor\, choreography\, and pop-culture references are hallmarks of Patel’s work. Recent projects include commissions for Tate Modern and Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London\; performances at the Royal Opera House in London\; and building a “working-class” Transformer robot from an old Ford Fiesta (co-created with his dad). His online video and performance works — which include his 2013 TED talk titled Who Am I? Think Again — have been watched more than 30 million times. Patel’s 2017 film\, Don’t Look at the Finger\, was exhibited at Chatterjee & Lal in Mumbai and the John Hansard Gallery in Southampton\, England. The film takes its title from a Bruce Lee quotation about misdirection from the film Enter the Dragon (1973): “It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don’t concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.”\n\nSupported by the U-M Center for World Performance Studies Performing Identities on Campus Symposium.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:High Performance Computing & Data Science Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Researchers can leverage high performance computing (HPC) to pose and probe unique and interesting questions. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Robotics Interfaces with Architecture Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Roland Snooks explores the complexity of the contemporary social and natural world through the creation of objects\, installations\, public art and architectural projects. This work draws on an understanding of the underlying processes of formation that give rise to these contemporary conditions. The studio redeploys these processes through algorithmic techniques in the creation of highly detailed and intricate forms. We are a small\, agile studio based in Melbourne that operates globally. We have an international network of expert collaborators to enable us to tackle complex and large-scale projects.\n\nStudio Roland Snooks's work has been exhibited internationally and acquired by some of the world’s leading collections of modern art and design\, including the Centre Pompidou (Paris)\, and the FRAC Collection (France). The work has been published widely and is the subject of a forthcoming monograph (ACTAR Publishers - Barcelona). Roland is frequently invited to lecture and present his work internationally at the world’s leading schools of design.\n\nWe have a fascination with the impact of new technologies on form. The studio is at the forefront of new computational design processes and robotic fabrication techniques. We are focused on how to develop and leverage these innovations to create intricately crafted forms.\n\nThis seminar series is funded by a grant from the U-M Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Innovation Fund and the U-M Robotics Institute.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:International Movie Night Series: MNL 143
DESCRIPTION:Let’s watch a movie together! A movie that tells a story that you have never heard…\nWe will watch four international movies from four different countries during the Fall term. The third movie is “MNL 143”.\n3rd Movie: “MNL 143”\nA snapshot of the random experiences and encounters of Ramil\, a minivan driver on his final trip before leaving Manila to become one of the millions of overseas workers in the Middle East. Every day for five years\, Ramil has plied the Buendia-Fairview route in hopes of encountering Mila\, the woman he left behind to make his fortune abroad. Hardly the most efficient way to search for someone - especially in Manila - but we nevertheless believe Ramil is the kind of guy who would actually try. -IMDb\n\n*This event is funded by Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion and Office of Student Affairs.\n**Jerusalem Garden will be served.

SUMMARY:Performance:Candide
DESCRIPTION:An operetta composed by Leonard Bernstein. \nLyrics by Wilbur\, Sondheim\, LaTouche\, Parker\, and Hellman. \n\nUniversity Opera Theatre\nUniversity Symphony Orchestra\nKenneth Kiesler\, conductor\nMatthew Ozawa\, director\n\nAdapted from the 1759 novella by Voltaire\, this satirical and comic operetta follows good-natured\, naïve young Candide on his adventures across the globe. Through war\, natural disasters\, and other trials\, the ever-optimistic Candide and his companions cling to the philosophy that they live in “the best of all possible worlds\,” even when reality threatens to teach them otherwise. Candide takes us on a wildly buoyant journey\, reminding us that by cultivating “our very own garden\,” we have the power to create a world we wish to live in. \n\nOur production celebrates the 100th birthday of American composer Leonard Bernstein\, whose musical compositions are renowned for brilliantly uniting diverse musical styles. Candide\, first conceived in 1953 by playwright Lillian Hellman\, has gained enormous popularity having been performed by opera and musical theatre companies alike. While the show has undergone numerous revisions and incantations such as the 1988 Scottish Opera Version (which U-M will perform)\, Candide features Bernstein’s most inventive and melodic score\, including such favorites as “Glitter and Be Gay” and “Make Our Garden Grow.” In collaboration with the Departments of Theatre & Drama and Musical Theatre\, this unique production is sure to be filled with raucous entertainment and exceptional emotional power.\n\nLearn more and listen to excerpts from Candide at: leonardbernstein.com

SUMMARY:Performance:The War and Treaty
DESCRIPTION:As The War and Treaty\, Michael and Tanya Trotter serve up healing and pain robbing with freewheeling joy on their new full-length album\, \"Healing Tide.\" Funky bass lines\, keys\, lap steel\, acoustic strings\, and stripped-down percussion create a swampy Southern soul bed for the couple’s transcendent vocals. A tour-de-force produced by Buddy Miller\, the collection swaggers with confidence only gained by artists who are wholly\, proudly\, themselves. Michael is a wounded warrior who found his voice while serving in Iraq\, when he was pulled from the frontlines to write songs for the fallen. Tanya is a lifelong artist\, drawn to singing’s power to take another’s pain away. “You have to have a deep place of love within yourself to be vulnerable\,” Tanya says. “With The War and Treaty\, we allow people to see two people that are not perfect. We get on stage. We sweat. We’re overweight. We yell. We get ugly\, we scream! My hair comes loose. We’re vulnerable––naked––in front of people\, and it’s a chain reaction. It allows them to be vulnerable\, too.” The War and Treaty’s music and stories bring tears and goosebumps\, but ultimately\, more is at work. “I want people to feel like we care\,” Michael says. “When you think about artists\, you don’t think about that.” He pauses and grins broadly. “But that’s the way I want the world to feel about The War and Treaty.” Songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews opens the show.
