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:Conference / Symposium:ASC/WiSER Mellon Workshop 2018. The Filmic and the Photographic: African Visual Cultures
DESCRIPTION:There is a rich and growing literature in African Studies that critically assesses both past and present generations of photography and film in Africa. One thread in this body of work looks for ways of centering African photographers and filmmakers as creators of new styles\, looks\, and subjectivities. Another thread looks at the artistic environments that Africans created\, at the ways in which images (both still and filmic) shaped religious sentiments and formed communities. A third thread looks at what is termed vernacular photography in distinct African locations\, focusing on the materiality and mobility of images. A fourth thread looks at processes of archival preservation\, collection and digitization as well as creative acts of recuperation\, that is\, newly curated exhibits of old things—both photographs and films. A final thread explores how Africans engaged\, appropriated\, synthesized\, interpreted filmic and photographic practices from beyond Africa. \n    \nThis workshop will bring together a range of scholars working on these and other contemporary issues in the field of African visual cultures. We are interested in blurring the photographic with the filmic in order to explore the qualities of one as inherent to the other.\n\nPanel sessions are free and open to the public. Visit ii.umich.edu/asc/ahi and click the U-M/WiSER Mellon Workshop section for conference details.

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: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:Exhibition:Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection
DESCRIPTION:The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.\n\nJoin us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Deluge
DESCRIPTION:Five Channel Video Installation\n13 Minutes\, 27 Seconds.\n\nDeluge is a culmination of Mendel’s ten years of work on the Drowning World project\, shooting video and stills in thirteen different countries. It depicts a variety of individual stories\, positioned with a synchronous global narrative in a way that is both personally intimate and deeply political. In all his years of responding to floods and making many journeys he has shot a vast archive of video footage\, which is fully activated in this presentation for the first time.\n\nAbout Gideon Mendel and his Drowning World project:\nGideon Mendel came of age as a photographer in South Africa in the 1980’s and identified strongly as a ‘struggle photographer’. This marked him and his subsequent career has been notable for his engagement with three of the crucial political and social issues that have faced his generation. These are the struggle against apartheid\, HIV/AIDS in Africa and Climate Change.\n\nA leading contemporary photographer\, Gideon Mendel's intimate style of image making and long-term commitment to projects has earned him international recognition and many awards. He was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet Prize 2015 and recently has won both the inaugural Jackson Pollock Prize for Creativity and the Greenpeace Photo Award 2016.\n\nHis on-going project ‘Drowning World\, explores the human dimension of climate change by focusing on floods across geographical and cultural boundaries. By highlighting the personal impact of flooding he evokes our vulnerability to global warming questioning our sense of stability in the world.\n\nThe work began in 2007\, when Mendel photographed floods in the UK and in India within weeks of each other. He was deeply struck by the contrasting impact of these events\, and the shared experiences of those affected.\n\nSince then he has endeavoured to travel to flood zones around the world visiting Haiti (2008)\, Pakistan (2010)\, Australia (2011)\, Thailand (2011)\, Nigeria (2012)\, Germany (2013)\, The Philippines (2013)\, The UK (2014)\, India (2014)\, Brazil (2015)\, Bangladesh (2015)\, the USA (2015 and 2017) and France (2016 and 2018).\n\nAs the work progressed photographing floods became both a literal and allegorical means of documenting the tension between the personal and the global effects of climate change. Each location added has intensified the narrative impact of the endeavour.\n\nDrowning World now consists of four parallel and connected narrative elements: Submerged Portraits\, Flood Lines\, Watermarks\, and Deluge.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Who Reads Fake News? Evidence from the 2016 and 2018 campaigns
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n\nThough some warnings about online \"echo chambers\" have been hyperbolic\, tendencies toward selective exposure to politically congenial content are likely to extend to misinformation and to be exacerbated by social media platforms. We test this prediction using data on the factually dubious articles known as \"fake news.\" Using unique data combining survey responses with individual-level web traffic histories\, we evaluate consumption of fake news during the 2016 and 2018 elections\, the role of Facebook in exposing people to fake news\, and the effectiveness of fact-checks in countering it.

SUMMARY:Other:Developmental Brown Bag
DESCRIPTION:Title: \"How 'you' makes meaning.\"\n\nAbstract:\nWhy do people say 'you' when they really mean 'me'?  The answer reveals how our attempts to derive meaning from life experiences are woven into the fabric of everyday language. I will report our research finding that people--both adults and young children--spontaneously shift from a self-focused (\"I\") to a generalized (\"you\") perspective when thinking about norms or reflecting on difficult personal experiences. Using generic \"you\" helps people 'normalize' challenging events and achieve psychological distance. In this way\, a simple linguistic mechanism serves a powerful meaning-making function.\n\nBio:\nSusan is a Professor in the Departments of Psychology and Linguistics. She studies concepts and language in young children. She is especially interested in how children organize their experience into categories\, how categories guide children's reasoning\, how children discover and reason about non-obvious aspects of the world\, and the role of language in these processes. These interests have led to the study of concepts ranging from gender to digital privacy\, and to collaborations with colleagues in philosophy\, anthropology\, linguistics\, education\, marketing\, and pediatrics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Concordance Cosmology and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss the relevant statistical tools aimed at testing the concordance of cosmological observations and how they can be used as the most model independent test for the standard cosmological model. These statistical tests are a powerful way of assessing whether a specific model explains the observed measurements or whether there are indications of residual\, unaccounted\, systematic effects or hints toward new physical phenomena. I will show the results of these tests when applied to state of the art cosmological measurements and discuss the overall level of agreement of the standard cosmological model with observations. I will then move to discuss extensions of the standard model and how these might help in explaining some of the discrepant aspects of observations. In particular I will focus on dark energy and modified gravity models discussing their cosmological phenomenology and highlighting the observational aspects that they improve and that can be used to test them.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IOE 813 Seminar: Paula Anne Newman-Casey
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Newman-Casey is a clinical ophthalmologist who specializes in the medical and surgical management of glaucoma. She is an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center. She completed medical school (2007)\, residency (2011) and fellowship (2013) at the University of Michigan. She holds a master’s degree in Health Services Research (University of Michigan\, 2012). Her current research on developing and testing technology based behavioral interventions to improve glaucoma self-management support. She is also interested in how operations engineering techniques can be used to improve patient’s experience in clinic and identify ways to integrate more education into patients’ clinical encounters. Her research is funded by a K23 Career Development Award from the National Eye Institute and a Research to Prevent Blindness Career Development Award. \nDuring the talk\, “The Intelligent Glaucoma Clinic: A Passive RFID Time Study System to Optimize Patient Wait Times\,” Dr. Newman-Casey will describe design choices that enabled the development of a low-cost\, continuous automated\, passive time-motion study in the glaucoma clinic. \nABSTRACT:  Objective: Outpatient clinics lack infrastructure to easily track and improve patient wait times. Our objective was to design a low-cost\, portable passive RFID system for real time localization within an outpatient clinic setting to measure patients wait times. \nMaterials and Methods: Direct observation was used to determine workflow in an outpatient glaucoma clinic at the University of Michigan. We used off-the shelf integrated ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID readers (ThingMagic\, Astra-Ex\, Woburn\, MA)\, UHF re-useable passive RFID tags (Zebra Impinj Monza 4QT\, Seattle\, WA) and a custom java RFID management application that was equipped with ‘live’ device administration to collect time and location data from patients and providers\; these choices enabled low cost system installation. Hidden Markov modeling was used to smooth patient and provider location data. The model was validated with: 1) direct patient observations 2) direct provider observations and 3) comparison of provider location by electronic health record audit log trail. \nResults: The smoothed RFID system data accurately predicted patient and provider presence >80% of the time. \nDiscussion: Passive RFID time study systems can enable real time localization of people in clinic\, facilitating continuous capture of patient wait times. The system must be customized to the clinic to improve accuracy. \nConclusions: Capturing wait time data continuously and passively can facilitate continuous clinical quality improvement initiatives to enhance the patient experience.  \n\nThe seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS):  Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach.\nFor additional information and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series\, \nplease contact genehkim@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Presentation:UM Psychology Community Talk
DESCRIPTION:Title: When Counting Doesn't Count: The Development of Math Skills in Young Children\n\n\n\nAbstract: For decades schools have struggled with how to teach and increase the learning of mathematics in children. It has been the focus of multiple federal programs and funding agency (NSF\, NIH\, IES\, Gates Foundation) initiatives. Even with all of this focus and research dollars\, we see very few changes in children increasing their ability in mathematics especially in foundational skills like fractions. This presentation will review my research over the last few years on trying to understand the developmental pathways of math achievement. I will explore both individual characteristics (self-concept) and contextual influences (parenting\, socioeconomic status) that may relate to the early development of math skills. Throughout the talk\, the issue of whether or not counting is an important skill as children enter into schooling will be discussed as well as how math skills prior to formal schooling predict to college attendance.\n\nBio: Dr. Davis-Kean is Professor of Psychology (Developmental) at the University of Michigan where her research focuses on the various pathways that the socio-economic status (SES) of parents relates to the cognitive/achievement outcomes of their children\, specifically math achievement. Her primary focus is on parental educational attainment and how it can influence the development of the home environment throughout childhood\, adolescence\, and the transition to adulthood. Davis-Kean is also a Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research where she is the Program Director of the Population\, Neurodevelopment\, and Genetics (PNG) program. This collaboration examines the complex transactions of brain\, biology\, and behavior as children and families develop across time. She is interested in how both the micro (brain and biology) and macro (family and socioeconomic conditions) aspects of development relate to cognitive changes in children across the lifespan.

SUMMARY:Performance:Guest Master Class/Recital: Masumi Rostad\, viola
DESCRIPTION:Professor Masumi Rostad (Eastman) presents a mini-recital and master class.\n\nThe Grammy Award-winning violist Masumi Per Rostad has received praise for his rich and expressive tone\, energy\, and commanding presence\, and has been described by critics as an “electrifying\, poetic and sensitive musician.” In addition to performing\, Rostad teaches and has contributed to online and print publications.\nRostad started studying music\, initially on the violin\, at the Third Street Music School Settlement in New York City when he was three years old. He discovered the viola when he was twelve years old and four years later\, attracted to the instrument’s warm and mellow sound\, devoted himself to the viola.\n\nAs a member of the Pacifica Quartet\, which he joined in 2001\, Masumi has performed and toured extensively throughout the United States\, Europe\, Asia\, and Australia. In 2009\, the quartet received a Grammy for Best Chamber Music Performance and was named Musical America’s Ensemble of the Year. Other honors include the Cleveland Quartet Award and the Avery Fisher Career Grant. From 2009 to 2012\, Pacifica was the quartet-in-residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, a position that had been held only by the Guarneri String Quartet. The ensemble has served as quartet-in-residence at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music\, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, Northwestern University\, and the University of Chicago.\n\nAs a soloist\, Rostad has appeared at prominent festivals including Spoleto USA\, Music@Menlo\, Marlboro\, and Rockport Chamber Music\; collaborated with such string quartets as the St. Lawrence\, Pavel Hass\, Emerson\, and the Ying Quartet\, which is the quartet-in-residence at the Eastman School of Music\; and toured extensively and recorded as a former member of the International Sejong Soloists and the Metamorphosen Chamber Orchestra.\n\nRostad’s advocacy for the arts and passion to increase opportunities for audiences to hear chamber music led him to launch DoCha\, a festival in Champaign\, IL. Events feature multi-genre collaborative presentations from classical chamber music to contemporary dance to the spoken word. All programs are free and include performances for elementary school students and master classes\, competitions\, and performance opportunities for local music students.
