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from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic.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

We harbor a diverse group of microbial population in our intestines that also rely on host diet for their iron. It is unclear if and how the gut microbiota compete with the host iron absorption pathways. Germ free (GF) and control mice fed with iron-sufficient (350 ppm)\, moderately iron-containing (35 ppm) and iron-deficient (<5ppm) diets for 2 weeks demonstrated a significant resistance to iron deficiency anemia in the GF compared to the controls. This provides the first evidence of a reciprocal competition between host and commensals for limiting dietary iron. Interestingly\, commensals possess an active mechanism that is inhibitory to the host iron transport system. Using a high throughput microbial screen\, we demonstrate that gut microbiota produce metabolites that suppresses iron absorptive mechanisms. Specifically\, we identified 1\,3-diaminopropane (DAP) and reuterin as inhibitors of the master transcription factor for intestinal iron absorption\, HIF-2a. This suggested that probiotic based therapies could be utilized in iron overload disorders. Both DAP and reuterin effectively ameliorated systemic iron overload in a mouse model\, suggesting these microbiota derived novel HIF-2a inhibitors could be strong candidates for the treatment of various forms of iron overload disorders in human.

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.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908099@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T104044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190206T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190206T170000 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.

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. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754470@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121619 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190206T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190206T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paul Rand: The Designer's Task DESCRIPTION:Paul Rand's visionary conceptions of brand identity \nPaul Rand was a giant of American design\, whose influential career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. 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:58560-14511099@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:20190116T161517 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190206T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190206T120000 SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Schokoladenstunde DESCRIPTION:Schokoladenstunde will take place in the comfy seating area between the two computer classrooms in the Language Resource Center.

The Polish Athens: Zakopane as a Center of Polish Culture DESCRIPTION:The Zakopane of the late 19th and early 20th centuries\, a period referred to as “The Young Poland\,” is of particular importance in Polish culture. It was the freest place in Poland at the time\, partitioned by three neighboring empires – a place where artists\, scientists\, social\, and political activists met. They went there to rest and rejuvenate\; they roamed the Tatra Mountains\, discussed\, created\, and conspired. Visitors at this time included the statesmen Józef Piłsudski and Roman Dmowski\; writers Henryk Sienkiewicz and Stefan Żeromski\; doctor Kazimierz Dłuski\; and aristocrat Władysław Zamoyski. Anyone who meant anything in the spiritual life of the Poles frequented Zakopane\, adding to the aura of this extraordinary place. Among the visitors were also people who became well-known in America: Helena Modjeska\, Ignacy Jan Paderewski\, Artur Rubinstein\, Bronisław Malinowski\, and Joseph Conrad. Thanks to all of them\, this small highlander village became known as the \"Polish Athens” at a time when Zakopane achieved its spiritual peak.\n\nMaciej Krupa\, a journalist and mountain guide who lives and works in Zakopane\, will discuss the importance of this time and place in Polish culture and history. Krupa has authored numerous publications related to Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains and is the co-founder of the local weekly newspaper \"Tygodnik Podhalanski.\"\n\nThis lecture is related to “100 Years of Polish Independence: Zakopane 1918\,” an exhibition of photographs from the archives of the Tatra Museum in Zakopane\, Poland. The Copernicus Program in Polish Studies has curated the exhibit and organized public lectures in collaboration with the Tatra Museum\, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute in Warsaw\, and Culture.pl as part of POLSKA 100\, an international cultural program commemorating the centenary of Poland regaining Independence. It is financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland as part of the multi-year program NIEPODLEGŁA 2017-22. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

This makes biomass a very attractive source of sustainable alternatives to fossil-derived chemicals. The production of various chemicals from biomass usually involves the depolymerization of biomass’s three constituent polymers: cellulose and hemicellulose\, which are both polysaccharides\; and lignin\, which is a polymer of phenyl propanoid sub-units. These three types of complex molecules are broken down into their constituent monomers\, which include sugars and phenyl propane derivatives. In turn\, these low-molecular weight monomers can be catalytically upgraded to either direct or indirect substitutes for petrochemicals. In both depolymerization and catalytic upgrading\, the biggest challenge is usually not achieving the desired reaction\, but rather avoiding being outcompeted by other\, detrimental reactions. Depolymerization reactions of the major biomass constituents – polysaccharides and lignin – are often outpaced by subsequent degradation reactions of sugars and lignin intermediates. In parallel\, coking reactions and catalyst deactivation processes plague the upgrading of highly oxygenated and water-miscible biomass derivatives.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present several solutions to these challenges that my laboratory has developed. I will show how we can use protection group chemistry\, both during lignin extraction and polysaccharide depolymerization\, to reversibly “trap” stabilized intermediate molecules\, and facilitate their high-yield upgrading1\,2. Notably\, we can show that\, under the right conditions\, extracted lignin can be catalytically upgraded at high yields to as few as 1-2 major products3. I will also discuss how targeted surface modifications on heterogeneous catalysts can lead to dramatic changes in activity\, stability and selectivity\, even in the presence of highly oxygenated renewable streams4–6.\n\nReferences:\n1 L.

While some did so out of conviction and others out of practical convenience\, many in the Christian world converted as a response to pressure or force. A small number also sought conversion to Judaism. How did fellow Jews view converts and apostates in their midst? Did they distinguish between Jews who chose to leave the fold and those who were anusim\, or \"forced ones”? A traditional rabbinical theme that “Even though he sinned\, he is still Israel” (BT Sanhedrin 44a) often guided discussion of how to deal with conversion\, and not all were in agreement about the rights of a Jew to return to the fold. By the same token\, not all could agree on the status of one who left his own religion to claim a Jewish faith and identity. This talk will present the stories of a variety of converts\, including one story of forced “conversion” from Karaism within the Jewish community itself—to explore how changing religion affected the understanding of Jewish identity in the Middle Ages.\n\nIf you have a disability that requires an accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at judaicstudies@umich.edu or 734-763-9047.
