In the early years of the American Studio Glass Movement (1974-1984) Babcock’s sculptural and painterly expression utilized the vessel format. By layering color — both mass and line — between gathers of clear\, molten glass\, the full compositions are viewed through the vessel as three-dimensional. Babcock is Professor Emeritus\, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home\, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker\, Elvis Presley\, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash\, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch\, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings\, Mystery Train\, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

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well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic.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.

In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

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.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society.

His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n UID:58560-14511096@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Philosophy,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Jan and David Brandon Family Bridge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190201T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190201T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Proof: The Ryoichi Excavations DESCRIPTION:A narrative of Ryoichi's archaeological work \nThe story of Japanese archaeologist Ryoichi and evidence of his worldwide excavations are explored by Patrick Nagatani in this series of photographs.

Beyond the Headlines: Morocco 8 Years after the February 20th Movement DESCRIPTION:Eight years have passed since Morocco’s iteration of the “Arab Spring” with the February 20th Movement. Since then\, Moroccans have continued expressing dissent in varying forms\, while the state has responded with varying forms of oppression. Despite promises for reforms and grandiose development projects\, socioeconomic indicators remain grim\, contributing to an ongoing emigration of the country’s skilled and educated population. This talk will examine recent political\, economic\, and social developments in Morocco to better understand where the country stands today and to consider what possibilities for the future may hold. \n\nSamia Errazzouki is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in history at the University of California\, Davis. She is a former Morocco-based journalist\, where she reported for the Associated Press and\, later\, Reuters. While in Morocco\, Samia also worked as a research associate with the University of Cambridge\, researching the media landscape in the country. Samia is a co-editor with Jadaliyya and a co-founder of their Maghreb Page. Her past publications have appeared in the Journal of North African Studies\, the Washington Post\, the Middle East Institute\, and the Guardian\, among others. \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.

Organizers hope to reschedule in the fall. \n\nMales in many species must convince females to mate by producing elaborate courtship displays tuned to female preferences\, like the song of a cricket or the train of a peacock. But courtship in many species is more like a negotiation than an advertisement\, thus in addition to elaborate signals\, success in courtship may require tactical skills. These skills may include the ability to choose a flattering display site\, respond appropriately to female courtship signals\, and adjust display investment in response to the marketplace of other males and females. My lab has been investigating courtship negotiations in greater sage-grouse\, which mate in an open marketplace of competing males and choosing females (the lek). I will discuss experiments using robotic females to investigate courtship interactions between the sexes. I will also discuss ongoing research investigating how off-lek foraging behaviors affect on-lek displays\, and how this basic science has informed my lab's research into human impacts on lekking activities.

This symposium engages widely shared anxieties and aspirations regarding the role of the humanities in the midst of crisis. The challenge of integrating climate change and environmental justice into teaching is only partly a matter of disciplinary expertise. Georgetown University climate historian Dagomar Degroot will discuss his successes and failures in teaching about climate change. The symposium concludes by grappling with dystopian visions in order to ask how humans live with climate change and how critical pedagogies can avoid exacerbating a “climate of despair.” \n\nModerated by Perrin Selcer (University of Michigan)\, facilitated by Anne Berg (University of Michigan).\n\nDagomar Degroot is an assistant professor of environmental history at Georgetown University. His recent work focuses on the resilience of different societies to pre-industrial climate change\; the history of animal cultures in the Arctic\, and the social impacts\, on Earth\, of environmental changes in outer space. His first book\, The Frigid Golden Age: Climate Change\, the Little Ice Age\, and the Dutch Republic\, 1560-1720\, was recently published by Cambridge University Press. His second book\, Civilization and the Cosmos: An Environmental History of Humanity's Place in the Solar System\, is under contract with Harvard University Press and Penguin Random House. He is the co-founder of the Climate History Network\, an organization of more than 200 climate scholars\, and the founder of HistoricalClimatology.com\, a website that receives roughly 500\,000 hits per year.\n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

AIs are intended to guide the efforts by therapists\, teachers\, and other clinical and/or academic staff to provide individualized intervention to individuals in practice. A Just-in-time Adaptive Intervention (JITAI) is a special form of an adaptive intervention that often capitalizes on advances in wireless and mobile devices to address the rapidly changing needs of individuals. In recent years there has been increased interest in developing empirically-informed AIs and JITAIs to address a wide range of behavioral health issues\, including depression\, anxiety\, alcohol use\, substance use and sedentary lifestyles. These intervention approaches play an important role in various domains of psychology\, including clinical\, educational\, organizational and health psychology. The goal of this talk is to provide an introduction to AIs and JITAIs\, and discuss novel experimental approaches for optimizing these interventions.

In the process\, it will extract Auerbach out of the critical impasse into which he has been wedged between a mandarin Eurocentric and a pre-post colonial exilic consciousness. The theo-philosophical conversations in which he was engaged in his early work had a robust afterlife in the magisterial Mimesis (1946)\, and help explain the huge popularity of that book when it was translated into English in 1953. \n\nJane O.

Mineral physics experiments and simulations seek to reverse-engineer the recipes that generate the features we detect in the deep Earth today. Because Earth and other planets are almost entirely composed of materials at high pressures and temperatures\, the key to translating geophysical observations to structure and composition is the dependence of mineral stability and physical properties such as density\, elasticity\, and transport properties on composition and thermodynamic conditions. I will discuss recent observations of chemical reactions and properties of minerals relevant to Earth’s mantle\, and implications of these experiments for the compositions of layers and regions in the deep Earth.

We hope to see you at our next event!\n\nIn a longer project called The Postcolonial Commons\, I am interested in the emergence of fluid political subjectivities around questions of defending existing commons\, and creating new ones\, in two regions of India: of small-scale fishers in coastal Kerala\, and small farmers in the Garhwal region of present-day Uttarakhand state. I am in conversation with strands of contemporary political theory (represented\, among others\, by Hardt and Negri\, Federici\, de Angelis\, Zizek\, and Bauwens) that posit a future organised around ‘the commons’. However\, while these writings are futuristic\, I suggest that they have an underpinning narrative of the transition from the ‘pre-capitalist commons’ to the ‘commons unmade through capitalism’\, which has implications for the political imaginaries outlined in their works. I challenge their orthodox account of this transition with drawing on writings on ‘postcolonial capitalism’\, including my own recent work.\n\nFor this seminar\, I offer two sections of the ‘historical’ part of the larger project: a discussion of the historiographical challenges in reconstructing ‘the pre-capitalist commons’ and the transitions it undergoes ‘under capitalism’ in relation to Kerala fisheries and Garhwali forests\, and the limits of the ‘commodity frontiers’ approach to narrate this process. Among other things\, the very nature of ‘rule’\, and the problems of establishing it in these ‘unruly’ spaces\, has a bearing on the sources – rather\, the lack thereof – on which an account of such a process can be reconstituted. Accounts are few\, and the reliability of some sources is uncertain\, for much of the period of early colonial conquest. And what accounts there are do not point to the transformation of fish or forest into ‘commodities’ until relatively recently. Nor are capitalist production relations visible in any meaningful sense. The conditions for fish and forests becoming ‘commodities’\, and for the emergence of capitalism in these sectors\, come from a number of scientific\, technological and other governmental innovations under late-colonial and early-postcolonial developmentalism. I conclude by identifying the implications of my account for radical political theory of the commons. \n\nSubir Sinha studied History at the University of Delhi (BA) and Political Science at Northwestern University (MS\, PhD)\, and has taught at Northwestern University and the University of Vermont.

Multi-physics\, multi-scale feedback gets the most attention in efforts like CASL\, MOOSE and NEAMS\, with a focus on increasing the fidelity of those simulations to reduce approximations of well- understood fundamental physical phenomena on relatively simple geometric domains. My work explores alternative axes: in one case the geometry itself introduces the complexity\; in the other\, poorly defined interactions among facilities may lead to complex emergent behavior. \n\nWith CAD-based Monte Carlo radiation transport at its core\, the Svalinn software suite supports workflows that couple the neutronics results in these complex geometries to other analyses including deterministic transport\, neutron activation\, heat transfer\, and mechanical analyses. These tools are being used for support of licensing at ITER\, designing radiation protection for astronaut travel to Mars\, and experiment design at ATR. \n\nCyclus uses agent-based modeling to track the flow of material among nuclear energy facilities with a specific goal of facilitating the introduction of new facility models\, either to improve the physics model\, add nuance to the way the facility interacts with others\, or both. This open source platform enables innovation while ensuring nuclear engineering material compatibility as new facilities are introduced and improved. Recent work has used Cyclus at large scale to study optimization of fuel cycles and hedging scenarios under disruption.\n\nBio: Paul Wilson is the Grainger Professor of Nuclear Engineering in the University of Wisconsin-Madison‘s Department of Engineering Physics\, and Chair of the Energy Analysis and Policy Program.
