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.

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.

Although most of their artwork is textile based, members use many different techniques. The theme of this exhibit is Inspired, and the art quilts on display incorporate elements of assemblage, collage and painting. The exhibit showcases the round robin approach that guided the creation of the work: the first artist made something which inspired the work of the second artist, which inspired the work of the third artist, and so on. A brief statement about the inspiration is included with each piece.

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.

she was here, once (February 21, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875187@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 21, 2019 8:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

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.

In 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).

The 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.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: 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.

This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

Join us for an exhibit opening event on November 16th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., in the Clark Library.

The lap, worn around the waist, is the uniform of the African dancer. At its simplest it is a rectangular piece of cloth, at its most elegant it is a beautiful skirt made of different colors, textures, and patterns. Whine, Werk, and Roll: the Art of the Lapa celebrates this utilitarian object of beauty and the craftsmanship of the men and women who sew their seams.

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.

Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

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.

The 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.

About David Opdyke:
David 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.

For 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.

This project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Next generation aircraft designs are incorporating more extensive electrical distributions that cover a broader range of applications, increasing the power levels to be met and the complexity of their operation. The expansion of the electrical grid cascades out into the engine, where the generators extract power from. This dissertation develops advanced predictive control strategies that account for the interactions between the subsystems in order to enable the potential benefits of a More Electric Aircraft (MEA), such as improved efficiency and reliability.

First, models representing the engine and power subsystems of the MEA, including their interactions, are developed. The control objective in this MEA system is to actuate the engine and power subsystem inputs to satisfy demands for thrust and power loads while enforcing constraints on compressor surge
and bus voltage deviations.

Second, model predictive control (MPC) strategies incorporating disturbance rejection, coordination between the subsystems, and anticipation of the changes in the power loads are shown to be effective in the MEA.

Third, a Distributed MPC is formulated that accounts for separately developed subsystems through controller privacy and differences in update rates.

Finally, a Scenario Based MPC is proposed to handle stochastic transitions in the thrust and power load references.

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.

The 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.

Cloth 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.”

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (February 21, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53719 53719-13452907@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 21, 2019 11:00am

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.

Lead 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.

Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps 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.

ABSTRACT
“Towards a Holistic Understanding of Cellular Metabolism”

Measuring intracellular fluxes by 13C metabolic flux analysis (13C-MFA) has become a key activity in metabolic engineering, biotechnology and medicine. Here, I will present important new advances that have extended the scope of this technology to more complex biological systems, including dynamic, interacting, and evolving systems. One of the key 13C-MFA technical advances that was pioneered in our lab centers on the use of parallel labeling experiments for metabolic pathway discovery. In this presentation, I will describe several surprising new metabolic pathways that we have discovered in central carbon metabolism in microbes, including E. coli, as well as mammalian cells using this new powerful technology. These metabolic pathways have been ”hidden” from our view so far because they cannot be estimated using traditional experiments. Only through the use of carefully selected tracers and parallel labeling experiments are we able to visualize these pathways. Applications in cancer medicine, phermaceutical production, and synthetic biology will be discussed.

A strong and wealthy America meets Japan’s security as well as economic interests. In this sense Tokyo prefers Trump’s type of leadership to Obama’s. However, as the U.S.-China relations become confrontational, Japan has to make sure that they will not spill over to itself. Trade war between Washington and Beijing will affect Japanese trade and eventually its economy. Military tensions in the South China Sea may prevent Japan’s vital trading route from safe use. China is conducting “smile diplomacy” for Japan and is trying to drive a wedge between Japan and the United States. Japan should sustain the strong alliance with the United States in this triangular relationship.

Two days after the 2016 elections, 27-year-old Katie Fahey, a political novice, posted on Facebook, “I’d like to take on gerrymandering in Michigan. If you’re interested in doing this as well please let me know. {smiley face emoji}.” What began as a Facebook group, turned into an army of volunteers in a matter of weeks. The massive nonpartisan citizen campaign, now named Voters Not Politicians, gathered over 400,000 signatures to put redistricting reform on the Michigan ballot. The ballot initiative sought to create an independent commission to determine voting districts in Michigan. Michigan voters overwhelmingly approved the ballot measure in November 2018. The success of Fahey’s campaign has made it a model for anti-gerrymandering campaigns—and citizen organizing—across the nation. As Tina Rosenberg wrote in the New York Times, “If you doubt that a private citizen can make a difference, meet Fahey.”

**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**

Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills. The series will be co-hosted/sponsored by TBP and the graduate societies of MSE, ECE, ChE, and MACRO and also sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs! As "learning-by-practice" event, it aims to help students learn how to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience, while also engaging a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering. The event is aimed primarily at graduate students planning to take their candidacy exam, but anyone is welcome to participate! We will host 7-10 events each term, and event dates/times will be announced on a rolling basis.

Each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

If you would like to participate as a speaker/audience, please fill out the links below. We will follow-up with you with scheduling details. NOTE: The event is open to ALL CoE students, regardless of TBP membership status.

Location: Industrial and Operations Engineering Building
Organized By: U-M Industrial & Operations Engineering

The IOE 899 Seminar Series is open to all. U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.

The seminar will be followed by a reception in the IOE Commons (Room 1709) from 4:00 pm-5:00 pm.

Presenters:
Ali Taghavi, Network Optimization team manager
Jeremy Castaing, Transportation Optimization team manager

Abstract:
In this presentation, we discuss two ongoing research projects from the Applied Research team at LLamasoft. First, we look at how to integrate safety stock costs into a Network Optimization problem, and we show why previous approaches are either sub-optimal or become practically unsolvable. Second, we present a constraint-based Vehicle Routing algorithm that uses an evaluation sub-routine flexible enough to consider real-world constraints such as driver breaks, recharging of electric vehicles and dock doors. We then discuss the pros and cons of this approach compared to more traditional, MIP-based, methods.

Title: "A continent on the brink: How climate change and wildfire are reconstituting life in Africa"

Abstract: Human-set wildfires have long been a defining characteristic of the open savannas and grasslands of Africa. During the dry season, farmers and land managers burn small plots of land to eliminate expired crops, return nutrients to the soil, or to clear trees and brush for planting. In this talk, I present remote sensing observations which establish a cyclical link between drought and wildfire, and discuss how climate change has made (and will make) Africa hotter, and drier, and therefore more susceptible to destructive fire.

Can modes of lamentation in poetry contribute to current thought on international border regimes? How do literary forms and temporalities of grief rework our understanding of border regimes as they bind and fracture political collectivities? This talk takes up such questions in readings of Aracelis Girmay’s The Black Maria (2016) and Sara Uribe’s Antígona González (2012, transl. 2016). It considers how Girmay and Uribe each construct a poetics of citation and assemblage that rework grief over the violence of border regimes, from the militarized deportation regime for African migrants in Israel to the U.S.-led transnational drug war that both prompts and exploits border politics. Such poetry incorporates ancient Greek narratives and contemporary geopolitical realities to press against humanitarian and citizenship-centered understandings of mourning, justice, and sovereignty. The talk explores how Girmay and Uribe’s poetry of grief envision a future-oriented politics of the living in a time of war and global apartheid on the right to move.

Art Exhibition Opening: Householdments (February 21, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61105 61105-15034013@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 21, 2019 4:00pm
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

Join us for the opening of John DeHoog's Exhibition, Householdments.
Thursday, February 21, 4-6pm.
John will give an artist talk and Q&A at 4:30pm.
Light refreshments will be served.

John was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1971. His family settled in Grand Rapids, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art, the Midland Center for the Arts, the Grand Rapids Art Museum, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.

<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>
While I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born, I have over my lifetime, stitched together memories based on home movies, family photos, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood, stone, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty, a perfection made possible by keen tools, quality materials, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.

While finding my way as a young maker, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty, the metals studio was acrid and smoky, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels, planes, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit, how drawers fit, how joints fit, how hinges fit. It all makes sense, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.

Working in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.

When starting with a sketch that I believe has potential, I now begin to build directly, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it, continue with it, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.

The word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

Chair's Distinguished Lecture: Hierarchical Control for Electro-Thermal Coordination of Aircraft Energy Systems (February 21, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61258 61258-15061101@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 21, 2019 4:00pm

Aircraft energy systems are governed by nonlinear dynamics spanning multiple timescales and physical domains. They can be viewed as ‘systems-of-systems,’ forming complex networks of interconnected elements that convert, store, and exchange energy. Due to electrification and increasing on-board power demands, managing the thermal and electrical energy of these systems has become a significant challenge, limiting their capability, safety, and efficiency. This talk will present a hierarchical control framework for vehicle energy management that meets this challenge by facilitating the coordination of dynamics across multiple physical domains and timescales. Analysis methods ensure the stability and feasibility of this control framework, while experimental validation certifies its applicability as game-changing technology for advanced vehicles, bridging the theory-practice gap. Recent results to be presented include a hardware-in-the-loop implementation of electro-thermal hierarchical control and a decentralized passivity-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach that leverages the system structure to guarantee closed-loop stability, including under switching. These tools are applicable to conditions in which the environment serves as a heat sink, such as subsonic and supersonic aircraft, as well as a heat source, such as hypersonic and space systems. While the talk will focus primarily on the former, a brief discussion of the latter will be included.

The fitness landscape analogy has been transformative for evolutionary genetics, providing a conceptual bridge between genotype-phenotype maps and the mechanisms of molecular evolution. In this seminar, I explain my plans to abandon the concept, arguing that modern technology and the nature of cutting edge problems in evolutionary genetics are beyond the scope of its capabilities. In the process, I summarize the range of projects related to the fitness landscape that I’ve recently explored on the brink of my departure, including clonal interference, the context-dependence of higher-order epistasis, and the drugability of antibiotics. In closing, I introduce several new conceptual tropes that are better equipped to address modern questions in evolutionary biology.

EIHS Lecture: White Nationalists Dream of the Ethnostate (February 21, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52319 52319-12631419@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 21, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

This talk traces the genealogy of the ethnostate, often envisioned by white nationalists in the United States as the ultimate destination in a racially reordered world. Professor Stern will explore expected and unexpected origins of this place concept, including eugenics and bioregionalism, and discuss how white nationalists grapple with the slippery category of whiteness in constructing criteria for inclusion and exclusion. She will also examine the affective dimensions of the ethnostate as an antidote for perceived rootlessness, and ask questions about how this concept is mobilized to vitiate civic nationalism and promote ethnonationalism and racism in America.

Alexandra Minna Stern, PhD, is a professor in American Culture and History, with appointments in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan. Currently she chairs the Department of American Culture. She also is a core faculty member in the Latina/o Studies Program and the Science, Technology, and Society Program. Her research has focused on the uses and misuses of genetics in the United States and Latin America. She is the author of the award-winning Eugenic Nation: Faults and Frontiers of Better Breeding in Modern America which was published in second edition by University of California Press in 2015. Her latest book, Telling Genes: The Story of Genetic Counseling in America (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2012) was a Choice 2013 Outstanding Academic Title in Health Sciences. She leads the Sterilization and Social Justice Lab, which studies qualitative and quantitative patterns of eugenic sterilization in twentieth-century California; this research is informing policy efforts to provide redress to survivors of compulsory sterilization. Stern has held grants for her work in medical history and health policy, including from the National Endowment for the Humanities, National Institutes of Health, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Her book Proud Boys and the White Ethnostate: How the Alt-right is Warping the American Imagination will be published by Beacon Press in 2019.

Geomechanics of Sinkholes (February 21, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60866 60866-14979678@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 21, 2019 4:00pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory

Sinkholes pose a major threat to environment, infrastructure, and human safety. They can develop via a cluster of inter-related processes, including bedrock dissolution, rock collapse, soil washing away, and soil collapse. Current practices involved in the sinkhole hazard assessment are generally of a qualitative, empirical nature and largely based on geological characteristics of the karst terrains. This talk aims to present a quantitative analysis of the interplay of multiple mechanisms involved during sinkhole development. The dominant mechanism behind sinkholes formed in rocks is the dissolution of soluble karstic rocks. Dissolution process may be enhanced by potentially aggressive groundwater acidity and the presence of caves or fissures. Specific dissolution rate of the constituent mineral (limestone or dolomite) and the surface area available for reaction are related via a chemo-mechanical coupling with the consideration of the damage-enhanced dissolution mechanism. The second part of the analysis explores the cover collapse type of sinkholes in which the critical mechanism is the growth and upward propagation of cavity. A strain-softening constitutive model is used to describe the strength evolution dependent on accumulated plastic deviatoric strain and erosion progression of soils around the cavity. The numerical results demonstrate the feasibility of expanding classical geomechanics to address intricate, often coupled processes in sinkholes.

Part of the Department of Sociology's Law, Justice, and Social Change Speaker Series

Two days after the 2016 elections, 27-year-old Katie Fahey, a political novice, posted on Facebook, “I’d like to take on gerrymandering in Michigan. If you’re interested in doing this as well please let me know. {smiley face emoji}.” What began as a Facebook group, turned into an army of volunteers in a matter of weeks. The massive nonpartisan citizen campaign, now named Voters Not Politicians, gathered over 400,000 signatures to put redistricting reform on the Michigan ballot. The ballot initiative sought to create an independent commission to determine voting districts in Michigan. Michigan voters overwhelmingly approved the ballot measure in November 2018. The success of Fahey’s campaign has made it a model for anti-gerrymandering campaigns—and citizen organizing—across the nation. As Tina Rosenberg wrote in the New York Times, “If you doubt that a private citizen can make a difference, meet Fahey.”

Verrett was a James Earl Jones Distinguished University Professor of Voice at the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance, as well as an internationally acclaimed opera singer who was one of the pioneering leaders in the generation of black opera singers. She performed more than 40 roles all over the world during the course of her four-decade career.

This can be particularly true with people in a position of authority, such as one’s research advisor, work supervisor, or future employer. In this workshop, we will explore conversation topics, turn-taking strategies, active listening, and sources for sample conversations. We will consider different types of conversations, such as seeming friendly and confident at a job interview or competent and insightful in a research group meeting. Come ready to practice with one another and to identify effective ways to practice on your own.

Anishinaabe Theatre Exchange Residency | Three Sisters (February 21, 2019 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59770 59770-14786523@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 21, 2019 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

Anishinaabe Theatre Exchange artists will be in residence at the University of Michigan campus from February 16-23, 2019, culminating in two performances of the new play by Carolyn Dunn, Three Sisters. The Anishinaabe Theatre Exchange uses theatre to activate networks with Native communities in the Great Lakes region. The group is a consortium of people from various backgrounds working to promote dialogue about Indigenous culture and issues.

In this brand new tragicomedy by Carolyn Dunn, three sisters, long estranged from family, community, and one another, return home to the Tunica-Biloxi Reservation lands in Louisiana at the behest of their dying aunt as she makes preparations for her final journey home. Family tensions, simmering secrets, death and grieving all intersect with the loss of tradition, culture, spiritual formation, and love. Poet, playwright, and scholar Carolyn Dunn was born in Southern California and is of Cherokee, Muscogee Creek, Seminole, Cajun, French Creole, and Tunica-Biloxi descent. Her scholarly work focuses on American Indian women’s literature and American Indian identity, and her play The Frybread Queen was produced by the Montana Repertory Theater in Missoula, Montana, and Native Voices at the Autry in Los Angeles. Her collections of poetry include Outfoxing Coyote (2001) and Echolocation: Poems and Stories from Indian Country L.A. (2013).

Location: Shapiro Library
Organized By: University Library

Students, nominated by their instructors, have been invited to read their own poems and short stories to a peer audience. For many student writers, Café Shapiro is a first opportunity to read publicly from their creative work. For others, it provides a fresh audience, and the ability to experience the work of students they may not encounter in writing classes.

Through its over 20 years of existence, Café Shapiro has evolved to become several nights of sharing among some of our best undergraduate writers, their friends, families, and the wider community. We'll have light refreshments available. Please stop by!

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

A dramatic comedy by Caryl Churchill
Department of Theatre & Drama
Directed by Gillian Eaton

Love and Information features 57 short, hilarious, and poignant vignettes with over 100 unnamed characters trying to communicate with each other in today’s world of shortened attention spans and vast societal sharing. Spouses, friends, siblings, and colleagues are dramatized in the middle of conversations as they deal with endless streams of data that can possibly alter relationships. They interrupt. They finish each other’s thoughts. They think they have finished each other’s thoughts. With so much sharing, when does TMI really become TMI? How do we love in a world with so much information? This is a play about individuals trying to connect with and understand one another.

Written in 2012, Love and Information distills the societal forces shaping our lives. Considered one of Great Britain’s greatest living playwrights, Caryl Churchill is well known for her provocative and relevant plays that are remarkably varied in both structure and topic. Her best-known works, Cloud Nine, Top Girls, Serious Money, Far Away, and A Number, combine a darkly funny imagination with a strong political viewpoint. “Leave it to Ms. Churchill to come up with a work that so ingeniously and exhaustively mirrors our age of the splintered attention span. (The New York Times.)

During the fall of 2018, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology faculty and undergraduate students conducted survey and excavations at Gordon Hall, the residence of Judge Samuel W. Dexter, located in Dexter, Michigan. The goals of this project were to identify the remains of architectural features and outbuildings demolished during the house’s multiple renovations. Both the northern wing of the house and the large, eight-seat privy were located during excavations. In this presentation, Martin Menz discusses the process of data recovery, results, and future directions for UMMAA fieldwork at Gordon Hall.

Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

The Celtic-influenced Michigan roots music of Detroit native Kitty Donohoe has been praised in Sing Out! for its "intelligent, literate songwriting infused with an inherent optimism." Over the years Kitty has opened for a variety of artists, from Doc Watson to David Bromberg, from Bruce Cockburn to Cheryl Wheeler—and in 2008 she and sideman David Mosher took the stage at an Obama rally just before Bruce Springsteen. Her song "There Are No Words," written on September 11, 2001, has been performed by numerous other songwriters and has taken on a life of its own. Rich Warren of WFMT radio in Chicago has included Kitty on his list of the 50 most significant songwriters in the last 50 years. She has some great seasonal songs like "The Michigan Waltz" that may be making an appearance on tonight's show.
