SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Image Vessels: Blown Glass
DESCRIPTION:Sculptor Herb Babcock creates both monumental and human-scale work using metal\, glass and stone. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple\, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Mystery Train: Oil on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Gregg Chadwick grew up with the rails of America in his blood. 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.

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:Conference / Symposium:De-Centering the Global Middle Ages
DESCRIPTION:De-centering the Global Middle Ages invites researchers to consider scholarly perspectives of the “global turn” of the premodern world\, addressing connectivity and mobility of the globe c. 500-1600 CE. What work does the idea of “the medieval” do\, and for whom? What do we gain and what do we lose by insisting on a shared notion of the medieval? By conceiving of a more diverse Middle Ages characterized by mobility and connectedness rather than isolation and limited travel?  This symposium will explore what the “medieval” means for scholars of various geographic regions\, including Africa\, Asia\, the Americas\, and Europe in hopes of facilitating a dramatic shift in our visions of what it means to do medieval history\, and the meaning of global history more broadly.\n\nPlease see the conference website for the program and registration details.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paved with Good Intentions
DESCRIPTION:In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work\, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
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.”

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. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
DESCRIPTION:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic\nJanuary 24\, 2019 – March 2\, 2019\n\nStamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic\, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. 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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Cosma Shalizi\, Associate Professor\, Department of Statistics\, Carnegie Mellon University
DESCRIPTION:Latent homophily generally makes it impossible to identify contagion or influence effects from observations on social networks. Sometimes\, however\, homophily also makes it possible to accurately infer nodes' latent attributes from their position in the larger network.  I will lay out some assumptions on the network-growth process under which such inferences are good enough that they enable consistent and asymptotically unbiased estimates of the strength of social influence.  Time permitting\, I will also discuss the prospects for tracing out the \"identification possibility frontier\" for social contagion.\n\n(Joint work with Edward McFowland III\; paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.06565 )

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminars | The Search for Axion Dark Matter
DESCRIPTION:Dark matter is the dominant source of matter in our Universe.  However\, while dark matter dictates the evolution of large-scale astrophysical systems through its gravitational effects\, the particle nature of dark matter is unknown.  This is despite the significant effort that has gone into the search for particle dark matter over the past decades.  In this talk I will review the current status of the search for particle dark matter.  I will focus specifically on a dark matter particle candidate called the axion\, which is both well-motivated theoretically and also relatively unexplored experimentally.  I will outline the near-term program for searching for axion dark matter and show that if this theory is correct\, then we will probably know soon.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Robotics Seminar - Marine Robotics: Planning\, Decision Making\, and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Underwater gliders\, propeller-driven submersibles\, and other marine robots are increasingly being tasked with gathering information (e.g.\, in environmental monitoring\, offshore inspection\, and coastal surveillance scenarios). However\, in most of these scenarios\, human operators must carefully plan the mission to ensure completion of the task. Strict human oversight not only makes such deployments expensive and time consuming but also makes some tasks impossible due to the requirement for heavy cognitive loads or reliable communication between the operator and the vehicle. We can mitigate these limitations by making the robotic information gatherers semi-autonomous\, where the human provides high-level input to the system and the vehicle fills in the details on how to execute the plan. In this talk\, I will show how a general framework that unifies information theoretic optimization and physical motion planning makes semi-autonomous information gathering feasible in marine environments. I will leverage techniques from stochastic motion planning\, adaptive decision making\, and deep learning to provide scalable solutions in a diverse set of applications such as underwater inspection\, ocean search\, and ecological monitoring. The techniques discussed here make it possible for autonomous marine robots to “go where no one has gone before\,” allowing for information gathering in environments previously outside the reach of human divers.\n\nGeoff Hollinger is an Assistant Professor in the Collaborative Robotics and Intelligent Systems (CoRIS) Institute at Oregon State University. His current research interests are in adaptive information gathering\, distributed coordination\, and learning for autonomous robotic systems. He has previously held research positions at the University of Southern California\, Intel Research Pittsburgh\, University of Pennsylvania’s GRASP Laboratory\, and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. He received his Ph.D. (2010) and M.S. (2007) in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon University and his B.S. in General Engineering along with his B.A. in Philosophy from Swarthmore College (2005). He is a recipient of the 2017 Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Program (YIP) award.

I will outline the near-term program for searching for axion dark matter and show that if this theory is correct\, then we will probably know soon.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Future Scenario Modeling to Evaluate the Environmental Impacts of New Technology
DESCRIPTION:Estimating environmental impacts of a system at an early design stage provides insights into the overall impact of a new technology and offers the greatest opportunities for improvement. Unfortunately\, products at an early stage of development lack sufficient data to perform a traditional life cycle assessment (LCA).\nThere has been significant research on the diffusion of innovations to understand\npotential market penetration of a new technology\, adopter characteristics\, and displacement effects. Diffusion of innovation concepts are useful when constructing scenarios for consequential LCA and understanding how different policy or design\nchoices may affect overall technology adoption and market penetration.\nThis seminar will present methods to construct future scenarios within the context of consequential LCA to identify preferable options for new technology design or policy development. A number of case studies will be explored\, discussing research projects that involve assessment of transportation fuels\, carbon capture and storage\, and penetration of refrigerated food supply chains in developing countries.\n\nProfessor Miller's research uses life cycle assessment and scenario modeling to identify environmental problems before they occur. Historically\, our society has taken a reactionary approach to the environment. By proactively understanding the environmental issues of emerging technologies\, we can identify a greater number of options and more creative solutions to avoid or reduce negative consequences. Miller's research group works on a variety of energy-related topics\, including the energy-water nexus\, bioenergy\, refrigeration in the food system\, and autonomous vehicles.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Using Cr-Redox Systematics in Basaltic Liquids and Olivine to Decode the Oxidation State of Planetary Basaltic Magmas and their Mantle Sources
DESCRIPTION:The evaluation and interpretation of redox (i.e\, fO2) “messages” carried by silicate liquids and their crystallization products\, both terrestrial and planetary\, has been a major theme and active field of petrologic research for the last 40 years. Chromium is a minor\, yet consequential\, multi-valent element that is present at dilute concentrations in nearly all basaltic magmas. Recent work has shown that synchrotron μ-XANES measurements of Cr valence in early liquidus olivine phenocrysts can be exploited to yield quantitative information on the prevailing fO2 conditions of primitive mantle-derived basaltic liquids. Spatially resolved measurements of Cr valence in olivine are also unique in that they can be placed into the context the growth history of the phenocryst\, thus potentially revealing a wealth of information about temporal variations in the oxidation state of the magmatic system as a function of crystallization and the compositional evolution of the residual liquids. In this way\, olivine phenocrysts may serve as high fidelity recorders of magmatic fO2 that can provide new insights into the connection between the oxidation state of basaltic magmas and their mantle sources. Decoding the Cr2+/ΣCr of natural olivine phenocrysts and exploiting this information as a redox “chronometer” is a challenging petrologic problem that requires a multifaceted experimental\, analytical\, and thermodynamic modeling approach to understand how Cr2+/ΣCr values are dictated by temperature\, fO2 and melt chemistry.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:NERS Colloquium:  Félicie Albert\, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Bright sources of x-rays\, such as synchrotrons and x-ray free electron lasers (XFEL) are transformational tools for many fields of science. They are used for biology\, material science\, medicine\, or industry. Such sources rely on conventional particle accelerators\, where electrons are accelerated to gigaelectronvolts (GeV) energies. The accelerating particles are also wiggled in magnetic structures to emit x-ray radiation that is commonly used for molecular crystallography\, fluorescence studies\, chemical analysis\, medical imaging\, and many other applications.  One of the drawbacks of synchrotrons and XFELs is their size and cost\, because electric field gradients are limited to about a few 10s of MeV/M in conventional accelerators. \nThis seminar will review particle acceleration in laser-driven plasmas as an alternative to generate x-rays. A plasma is an ionized medium that can sustain electrical fields many orders of magnitude higher than that in conventional radiofrequency accelerator structures. When short\, intense laser pulses are focused into a gas\, it produces electron plasma waves in which electrons can be trapped and accelerated to GeV energies. This process\, laser-wakefield acceleration (LWFA)\, is analogous to a surfer being propelled by an ocean wave. Betatron x-ray radiation\, driven by electrons from laser-wakefield acceleration\, has unique properties that are analogous to synchrotron radiation\, with a 1000-fold shorter pulse. This source is produced when relativistic electrons oscillate during the LWFA process. \nAn important use of x-rays from laser plasma accelerators we will discuss is in High Energy Density (HED) science. This field uses large laser and x-ray free electron laser facilities to create in the laboratory extreme conditions of temperatures and pressures that are usually found in the interiors of stars and planets. To diagnose such extreme states of matter\, the development of efficient\, versatile and fast (sub-picosecond scale) x-ray probes has become essential. In these experiments\, x-ray photons can pass through dense material\, and absorption of the x-rays can be directly measured\, via spectroscopy or imaging\, to inform scientists about the temperature and density of the targets being studied. \n\nWork performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under contract DE-AC52-07NA27344\, supported by the LLNL LDRD program under tracking code 13-LW-076\, 16-ERD-024\, 16-ERD-041\, supported by the DOE Office of Fusion Energy Sciences under SCW 1476 and SCW 1569\, and by the DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program under SCW 1575. \n\nBio: Félicie Albert is currently a staff scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the National Ignition Facility and Photon Science directorate and the Joint High Energy Density Sciences (JHEDS) organization. She was hired at LLNL in 2008 as a postdoctoral researcher in the photon science and applications (PS&A) program to work on nuclear resonance fluorescence experiments\, and became a permanent member of the technical staff in 2010. She earned her PhD in physics in 2007 from the Ecole Polytechnique in France\, her MS in Optics from the University of Central Florida in 2004\, and her BS in engineering from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Physique de Marseille\, France\, in 2003. Her areas of expertise include the generation and applications of novel sources of electrons\, x-rays and gamma-rays through laser-plasma interaction\, laser-wakefield acceleration\, and Compton scattering. She has conducted many experiments using high-intensity lasers. \nFélicie was awarded a 2016 U.S. Department of Energy Early Career Research Program Award to develop new x-ray sources for high energy density science experiments\, and has been leading several Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Projects at LLNL. She is the recipient of the 2017 American Physical Society (APS)\, Division of Plasma Physics Katherine E. Weimer Award for outstanding contributions to plasma science research\, of the 2017 Edouard Fabre Prize for contributions to the physics of laser-produced plasmas\, of a LLNL Director’s Early and Mid-Carreer Recognition award in 2015\, and was selected by the APS as an outstanding referee in 2015. She serves on many technical review panels\, conference committees\, editorial boards\, and is regularly involved in outreach activities for large or specialized audiences. She has over 70 refereed publications and has given over 35 invited talks at international conferences.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Seminar Title: Emergent properties of membrane proximal signaling events
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In eukaryotes\, cell polarity emerges from the complex interplay between plasma membrane and cytoplasmic molecules\, most notably phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) lipids\, lipid modifying enzymes\, small GTPases\, and the actin cytoskeleton. In many cases\, competition between lipid kinases and phosphatases underlies the production of PIP lipids that become asymmetrically distributed across the plasma membrane. Although many of the enzymes that regulate PIP lipid synthesis in vivo have been identified\, questions concerning how PIP lipid phosphorylation reactions are rapidly turned ON and OFF remain unanswered. The Hansen lab has taken a reductionist approach to biochemically reconstitute minimal sets of signaling molecules that control PIP lipid phosphorylation at the plasma membrane. The knowledge gained from our biochemical analysis has provided new insights concerning how lipid modifying enzymes regulate the formation of transient\, polarized\, and oscillatory PIP lipid signaling reactions in living cells.

SUMMARY:Performance:Complex Rhythms
DESCRIPTION:Department of Dance\nChoreography by guests Jawole Willa Jo Zollar and Jennifer Harge\, and faculty Bill DeYoung and Robin Wilson.\n\nThe Department of Dance’s annual concert\, Complex Rhythms\, features the re-staging of a noted twentieth-century masterpiece and three new creations. Shelter\, created in 1988 by Urban Bush Women founder Jawole Willa Jo Zollar\, is an unsentimental commentary about homelessness and disenfranchisement. The New York Times wrote\, “[Shelter] is so filled with compassion and anger that it becomes a powerful incantation against the evils of obliviousness and neglect.” Alumna Jennifer Harge\, artistic director of Detroit’s Harge Dance Stories\, is a performer who uses the body to tell stories. She was recently honored as a Visual Arts Fellow by Kresge Arts in Detroit. Harge’s work lies at the intersection of movement\, performance art\, African-American culture\, and choreographies of protest. In celebration of Leonard Bernstein’s centenary\, faculty member Bill DeYoung sets a new work to Bernstein’s Prelude\, Fugue\, and Riffs (1955). Robin Wilson will create a new work inspired by her upcoming trip to Cuba in May.\n\nWatch an excerpt of Shelter performed by the Alvin Ailey Dance company at: youtube.com
