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from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic.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

Fraker Conference at the University of Michigan will take as its point of departure the complicated interactions of space\, place\, and mapping\, in all of their contexts. This conference hopes to both clarify and complicate the notion of spatiality which arose during what Foucault referred to as the “epoch of space” and has continued to develop after the “spatial turn” in the humanities at the end of the 20th century. Further\, we hope with this conference to place a focus on geocriticism\, a term developed in part by Robert Tally\, Jr.\, whom we are delighted to welcome as our keynote speaker.\n\nThe broad understandings and implications of space do not permit a facile definition nor do they warrant one. Instead of conceptualizing space as a backdrop for historicism\, modern critics choose to regard space as an actor with significant agency. The goal of this conference is not to effect a common definition of the complexities of space\, but rather to embrace these intricacies through dialogue. As we know\, physical space is ubiquitous and\, at times\, unremarkable or invisible. It can welcome us or alienate us\; place us at the center\, in the margins\, in between\, or beyond\; facilitate or hinder our movement\, choices\, and behavior\; and influence our very thoughts. It follows that our work is similarly affected by spatial concerns. What can we learn from the spaces created by cultural production?​ ​How does space affect the production of knowledge? How does space relate to power\, or to memory\, or to narrative?\nThis year\, we welcome panelists from Brown\, Concordia (Montréal)\, CUNY\, Emory\, Purdue\, Rutgers\, SUNY–Buffalo\, Texas State\, UCSB\, UAlberta\, UChicago\, UVirginia\, UW–Madison\, and UT–Austin\, as well as our own University of Michigan. In recent years\, papers have been given in different Romance languages as well as in English\; 2019 will be no exception as our program includes panelists from across languages and disciplines.\n\nThe conference will take place on the 15-16th February 2019 at the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor. On Friday\, 15th February\, it will be held in the Michigan League\, and on Saturday\, 16th February\, it will be held in the Rackham Graduate School\; both buildings are near Ingalls Mall on UM’s Central Campus.\n \nThe keynote address will be delivered on Saturday at 5PM in the Rackham Amphitheatre.

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/ UID:59301-14728286@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190115T140953 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T170000 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.

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:60543-14908108@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:20190208T095612 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:U-M Structure Seminar DESCRIPTION:Sarah Keane Lab UID:55754-13777526@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55754 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Structural Biology LOCATION:Life Sciences Institute - Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190121T091456 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T104500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:CSAS Graduate Interdisciplinary Conference on South Asia 2019 DESCRIPTION:For complete details and the conference schedule\, please see the conference website: https://ii.umich.edu/csas/news-events/events/conferences/graduate-interdisciplinary-conference-on-south-asia---February-2019.html\n\nThis one-day conference will be held on Friday\, February 15th in the 10th Floor event space at Weiser Hall.

My teaching interests have evolved to keep pace with my own travels in time. So the courses I have taught include Slavery and South Asian History\, the Gender of South Asian pasts\, Early Modernity in the subcontinent\, and The Power of Performance. \n\nRecently\, I find myself drawn simultaneously to both intellectual and economic histories of the subcontinent. In particular\, I am interested in the ways in which wealth travelled between and within monastic lineages in the past. Having worked on the ways in which monastic governmentality was forgotten in Indian historiography by the early decades of the twentieth century\, I am currently revisiting the costs of such forgetting to women's wealth in eastern India.

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.

Interestingly\, separate but related processes shape these trait differences across biological scales (e.g. microevolution in populations versus assembly of communities). These processes occur simultaneously in all natural systems\, but are only rarely considered together\, stunting a holistic understanding of multi-scale biological systems. Here\, I use dragonfly larvae to investigate (1) how traits are linked to one another across biological scales\, (2) the relative importance of trait change at different biological scales\, and (3) the ecosystem consequences of multi-scale trait change.\n\nImage credit: Tobias David Mankis UID:60968-14997742@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60968 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,department of ecology and evolutionary biology,Museum - Herbarium,Museum - Zoology,Museum Of Zoology,Research,science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190111T121526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T170000 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 UID:59587-14754478@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:20190130T102433 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Redesigning Manufacturing Machines\, Design Tools\, and Robotics for Smart Human Augmented Spatial Interfaces DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe convergence of many factors such as low-cost sensors\, electronics\, computing\, fabrication\, and more recently machine learning\, aided by human interactive interfaces has created the potential to redesign our manufacturing ecosystem. I will describe three themes in our research. First is redesigning design tools and machines around humans to enabling easy access to manufacturing by non-experts. I will provide examples of transforming everyday objects to interactive objects\, mixed dimensional modeling\, and creating objects directly in the physical world. Second\, I will show construction of reconfigurable modular robots and mixed reality interactions with new forms of distributed intelligence and an open system architecture\, that can give rise to vastly new forms of smart machines\, robotic structures\, and functions. Furthermore\, because these robots and machines can be programmed and controlled with just a mobile phone\, the developers of such “low-cost” robotics and machine “apps” do not need programming experiences at all. It will transform high-tech to low-tech and make it accessible to small and medium scale industries. Third\, I will demonstrate new forms of location-aware collaborative intelligence and information exchange between humans-robots and machines. In addition\, new soft interface wearables will free hands to work and interact at the same time\, enabling augmentation. With such possibilities\, our factories can be more productive and agile by using cognitively intuitive\, spatially aware\, and easy to program interactive interfaces that aid the human(s)-robot(s)-machine(s) to work together. Our research directions in artificial intelligence-based human augmentation technologies will have a direct impact on workforce re-skilling programs\, increasing human labor capacity\, factory productivity\, and agility. \n\nBio\nKarthik Ramani is the Donald W.

Marcia Ball grew up in Vinton\, Louisiana\, in the heart of an area overflowing with blues\, zydeco\, and swamp rock. All the female members of her family played the piano. In 1970 Marcia and her first husband were heading for San Francisco\, but their car broke down in Austin\, and that's where she stayed. She put together a trio of talents: piano playing\, songwriting\, and vocals. In 1983 Marcia released her first solo album\, \"Soulful Dress\,\" and ever since then she's been letting the good times roll at The Ark and other clubs around the country where a corps of devoted fans has watched her evolved into a true legend of the piano blues. Marcia has won nine Blues Music Awards\, and she was recently inducted into the Gulf Coast Music Hall of Fame. Come check out music from Marcia's fabulous recent album \"Shine Bright\"!\n\nAfter a dozen acclaimed albums\, virtuoso slide guitarist and bandleader Sonny Landreth has released \"Recorded Live in Lafayette\,\" capturing the one-of-a-kind live Sonny experience. Sonny Landreth has collaborated with the very top names in guitar over the years: Eric Clapton\, Mark Knopfler\, Eric Johnson\, Derek Trucks—the list goes on. The noted slideman cut his musical teeth in The Red Hot Louisiana Band of zydeco king Clifton Chenier\, and he has since recorded and toured with artists ranging from John Mayall to John Hiatt. \"Recorded Live in Lafayette\" adds another major chapter to his tale\, as new vocal and instrumental colors emerge UID:56943-15061103@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56943 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190208T130046 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T190000 SUMMARY:Other:The 2019 Schuman Challenge DESCRIPTION:The 2019 Schuman Challenge will welcome undergraduate students from seventeen different U.S. colleges and universities to the EU Delegation to the United States in Washington DC on February 14-15\, 2019.

These advances provide unprecedented opportunities and challenges to tackle much larger and more complicated data in academics and industry. To overcome these difficulties\, massive computing frameworks such as MapReduce and Spark are becoming increasingly important. However\, statistical challenges have not been paid much attention to in the implementation of these frameworks. Recently\, we have proposed to use sufficient statistics instead of the whole data in the analysis. We have investigated the concept of sufficient statistics under the framework of a variety of statistical approaches\, including linear regression and generalized linear models. The current talk will focus on linear regression problems. It will briefly mention the idea to generalized linear models.

Although large scale replication efforts and highly publicized failures to replicate have been the most notable ways of assessing and showcasing the reproducibility of psychological research\, meta-analyses can be a useful option for evaluating the rates of replicability in a population of studies in the literature. However\, since their inception\, meta-analyses have also been the subject of censure. There is the issue of publication bias causing inflated effects\, the problem of the inclusion of the results of under-powered studies and the overlooked complication of heterogeneity. In this talk\, Dominic and Sammy show how meta-analyses can be improved\, including the use of p-curve analyses and continuously cumulating meta-analysis. They then go on to discuss how meta-analyses can serve as diagnostic tools for assessing statistical power\, selective reporting bias\, and between-study heterogeneity and ultimately\, how meta-analyses can themselves be used as way quantify the degree of replicability in psychological science.

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.

The first examines how vocal cues can differentiate heterosexual and non-heterosexual individuals\, and how these distinctions can ultimately lead to job-related discrimination. The second study examines how disclosing a non-heterosexual identity can improve interpersonal outcomes when stigmas become known through indirect cues. The third study meta-analytically examines both the intrapersonal and interpersonal benefits of disclosing/expressing a stigmatized identity\, as well as the boundary conditions of these effects. These studies are representative of my general program of research in that they identify subtle forms of workplace discrimination as well as potential strategies that stigmatized targets can engage in to remediate these barriers.

I discuss the mechanisms underlying the effect\, and also its social cognitive extension: People in general not only have difficulty identifying intellectual weaknesses in themselves but also genius and virtuosity in other people.

One such line of flight is the retraction of the passion itself in Gersholm Scholem’s anecdote about the advent of the messiah in which almost nothing changes\, as retold by Benjamin\, Bloch\, and now Blumenberg. Here Blumenberg returns to his earlier concerns with Gnosticism (Legitmacy\, 1966) and considers a different answer to what has gone so wrong with creation that it needs to be destroyed.\n\nPaul Fleming is Professor of Comparative Literature and German Studies as well as the Taylor Family Director of the Society for the Humanities. He has published monographs on Exemplarity and Mediocrity: The Art of the Average from Bourgeois Tragedy to Realism (2009) and The Pleasures of Abandonment: Jean Paul and the Life of Humor (2006) along with edited volumes on Hans Blumenberg\, Siegfried Kracauer\, the scholars around Stefan George\, and Ulrich Peltzer. He is currently co-translating Blumenberg’s The Saint Matthew Passion for Cornell Press as well as completing a book-length project that examines the use of the anecdote in and as theory with respect to questions of exemplarity\, evidence\, history\, and rhetoric.

All are welcome. Light refreshments will be served.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nHandmade Events\n\nEvents in the world unfold in different ways and the way we use language to talk about the world reflects these differences. However\, a central tenet of contemporary linguistics is that language is not an “anything goes” kind of system. In this talk\, I’ll present a series of studies that explore communicative (and\, to a lesser extent\, cognitive) biases in how we talk about events\, focusing on what happens when how we talk about events is with our hands. These studies examine (a) abstract linguistic structures that underlie both sign and speech\, (b) modality effects that shape how these structures are manifested in signed versus spoken languages\, and (c) patterns in gesture that suggest certain phenomena may be driven by broader communicative biases and not restricted to language.

Even as coal plants closed last year at a record pace\, carbon emissions increased more than three percent\, the second-largest increase in two decades. Nuclear energy can and should play a key role in addressing climate change. Nuclear energy provides about 20% of the electricity in the United States but approximately 60% of the clean energy. Other characteristics of nuclear energy can help address additional concerns of today\, such as energy resiliency\, energy security\, and boosting the U.S.’s geopolitical influence. From an economic perspective\, the nuclear energy industry provides a large source of skilled\, high paying jobs and contributes approximately 60 billion dollars to the gross domestic product. The nuclear industry plays an important if not fully recognized role in our society. To preserve and sustain a robust nuclear energy industry\, some of its attributes must be recognized by the energy market\, and efforts underway have resulted in positive action at both the state and federal level. At every plant in the nation\, efficiencies are being implemented and innovative technologies are being deployed to help maintain the safety of the plants while concurrently reducing costs. Attributes of the nuclear energy industry as well as industry-led initiative\n\nBio: Dr. Jennifer Uhle is Vice President of Generation and Suppliers at the Nuclear Energy Institute. Prior to joining NEI\, Jennifer was the Director of Reactor Safety Programs at Jensen Hughes\, a consulting company to the nuclear industry where she worked in the area of advanced reactors\, thermal-hydraulics and regulatory affairs. Prior to joining JENSEN HUGHES\, she served at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for 23 years in several positions including the Deputy Director of the Offices of Nuclear Regulatory Research and Nuclear Reactor Regulation and the Director of the Office of New Reactors. Jennifer obtained her B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in nuclear engineering from MIT in 1991 and 1996\, respectively\, with a specialization in reactor systems and design. She served as the U.S. representative to the IAEA’s first fact finding mission to Fukushima in 2011. She has over 24 years of experience in the nuclear industry.
