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:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Householdments
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile 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.\n\nWhile 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.\n\nWorking 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.\n\nWhen 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.\n\nThe 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.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Predicting and Understanding Initial Play
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nWe use machine learning to uncover regularities in the initial play of matrix games. We first train a prediction algorithm on data from past experiments. Examining the games where our algorithm predicts correctly\, but existing models don’t\, leads us to add a parameter to the level-1 model that significantly improves predictions. We then generate new games where our modified level-1 model l performs poorly\, and obtain better predictions with a hybrid model that uses a decision tree to decide game-by-game which rule to use for making predictions. Finally\, we show how to further improve predictions using crowd-sourced predictions as an input. (Joint with Drew Fudenberg)

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Brown Bag:How might Improving Methodology Improve Policy? The Case of Special Education Research
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: An often underlooked issue is the importance of using the right methods to answer research questions that have significant policy implications. Specialized policies may be required to address issues specific to certain at-risk populations. Though understanding these populations is important\, they can be difficult to study. A prime example are children with disabilities\, who are legally entitled to a free and appropriate education in U.S. schools\, usually through the receipt of special education services. Researchers have long struggled with the lack of an appropriate comparison group to children with disabilities\, especially when assessing best-evidence practices or the impact of receiving specialized services. As a result\, research on the education of children with disabilities has largely relied on correlational or descriptive statistics\, which are then used to make decisions about laws\, regulations\, and funding allocations. In this talk\, Dr. Woods explains how improving methodological choices about specialized populations can substantively change the conclusions we draw about how (in)effective specialized services might be. Obtaining a better understanding of how education impacts at-risk populations like children with disabilities would not only improve policy\, but could also alter the way we value the education of children with disabilities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LSI Seminar Series: Benjamin Engel\, Ph.D.\, Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry
DESCRIPTION:Ben Engel is an expert in cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET)\, a critical science component of the Cryo-EM Biosciences Initiative.\n\nCells accomplish the biochemical reactions of life by concentrating their proteins into a variety of subcellular compartments called organelles. Engel’s group explores the relationship between the form of the organelle and the function of its resident macromolecules. How does organelle architecture direct molecular function\, and reciprocally\, how do macromolecules sculpt and shape organelles? To investigate these questions\, they use focused ion beam (FIB) milling of frozen cells followed by cryo-electron tomography to image macromolecules within their native cellular environment. Through a combination of nanometer-precision localization and high-resolution structural analysis\, Engel aims to chart the molecular landscapes of organelles. Thanks to its superb cryo-EM contrast and textbook organelle architecture\, the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas is an ideal specimen for this approach. Engel’s group has taken a holistic approach to survey the whole integrated “planimal”\, with in situ molecular studies of the nuclear envelope\, ER\, Golgi\, basal body apparatus (centrioles)\, and chloroplast. In this talk\, Engel will provide an overview of some of these studies\, touching on proteasome-rich degradation centers\, the nuclear pore complex\, COPI coats\, and the molecular organization of chloroplast’s thylakoid membranes and pyrenoid.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantitative Biology Seminar | Understanding Entrainment Properties of Circadian Oscillator Models Using a One-dimensional Map
DESCRIPTION:A central feature of many oscillatory networks is their ability to display phase-locked solutions where the constituent elements fall into a well-defined pattern in which the phase difference between pairs of oscillators can be determined. Often the networks contain an identifiable pacemaker or external forcing. In these cases\, the network is said to be entrained\, because the pacemaker determines the overall network period and phasing. In this talk\, we consider entrainment that arises in circadian systems. Such networks are subject to an external\, pacemaking 24 hour light-dark drive in which the intensity and total hours of light within the 24 hour cycle are important parameters. We will introduce a new computational tool\, a 1-dimensional entrainment map\, to assess whether and at what phase a circadian oscillator entrains to periodic light-dark (LD) forcing. We have applied the map to a variety of circadian oscillators ranging from the Novak-Tyson model for protein-mRNA interactions to the Kronauer model of the human circadian rhythm. Using the entrainment map\, we systematically investigate how various intrinsic properties of the circadian oscillator interact with properties of the LD forcing to produce stable circadian rhythms. We will focus on how to use the map to study the reentrainment process due long-distance travel to address the so-called east-west asymmetry of jet lag. Further\, we show that individuals can experience jet lag after purely north-south travel. The mathematical and computational methods used to study these problems should be of wide interest to members of the mathematics community. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rachel Ablow Lecture
DESCRIPTION:“Believing Romola” considers George Eliot’s interest in what it means to change one’s mind—or someone else’s—in relation to recent debates about reading and the politics of critique. Ultimately it argues that Eliot’s great novel of belief provides us with new ways to understand the stakes involved in \"post-critique\" as well as some of its potential limitations.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RNA Innovation Seminar\, Guest Speaker
DESCRIPTION:“A novel mode of RNA maturation in viruses…and beyond?”\n\nAbstract: \nRNA is a very functionally diverse macromolecule\, performing a large variety of tasks in the cell. Viruses also use RNA to manipulate the cellular machinery in unexpected ways\, and the remarkable variety of RNA-based strategies used by viruses thus gives a window into the RNA world and its capabilities. How is RNA able to perform so many different tasks? The answer\nlies\, in part\, in the ability of RNA elements to fold into complex and unexpected three-dimensional conformations that then interact with their cellular targets and alter the target’s function. By combining structural biology\, virology\, biochemistry\, bioinformatics\, and biophysics\, we seek to understand the three-dimensional folds of these RNA elements\, their conformational dynamics\, how they manipulate the cellular machinery\, and how this relates to viral infection. In this presentation\, I will present discoveries from my lab regarding RNA elements that have the ability to\nspecifically block the ability of exonucleases to degrade RNA\, leading to the production of pathogenic viral non-coding RNAs. I will reveal the structural basis for this ability\, and also how we are finding these RNAs in diverse places\, how we are using them to engineer novel research tools\, and how we believe we have discovered a general mode of RNA maturation that may exist beyond the viral RNA world\, in cellular RNAs.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro | Probing the non-Gaussian density field with clusters of galaxies
DESCRIPTION:Considerable effort in cosmology today is focused on understanding the statistical nature and evolution of the (dark matter) density field that underlies the observed large-scale structure. Information about this field is mostly phrased in terms of two-point statistics\, such as the power spectrum of galaxies or weak lensing\, essentially approximating the large-scale structure as a Gaussian random field. However\, the Universe is far more complex than that: Gravitational collapse turns the simple initial conditions into the cosmic web consisting of halos\, filaments and large voids we see today. In my talk\, I will show how we can use the abundance of galaxy clusters residing in the the 'knots' of the cosmic web to probe the non-Gaussian shape of the density field. This gives us insights into the physics of structure formation\, and provides at the same time a new method to search for deviations from the cosmological standard model.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Musicology Distinguished Lecture Series: Prof. Katherine Preston\, College of William and Mary
DESCRIPTION:In October 1873 the American economy was hit by a major panic—the worst economic crisis in American history. Audiences for high-priced entertainment (like foreign-language opera) disappeared as Americans turned to newer forms of entertainment (operettas\, opéra bouffe) and to one older style: opera in English. The company of American soprano Clara Louise Kellogg was a major beneficiary of this situation for four years in the 1870s. Kellogg not only circumvented male operatic managers by establishing and managing her own company\, but also helped to rekindle an American taste for opera in English. These developments marked a pivotal point in the history of Americans’ support for foreign-language opera\, which henceforth was patronized by a shrinking demographic of wealthy individuals. Middle-class Americans never regained their former love for this style of opera\, turning instead (and permanently) to other types of musical theatre.\n\nEvent co-sponsored by the Department of American Culture.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HIGH STAKES CULTURE The Politics of Blackface Then and Now: What’s in Your Yearbook?
DESCRIPTION:We are in a moment in which a ‘culture war’ – in large part about race -- has been ignited and is being stoked daily by activists across the political spectrum and by the President of the United States himself. This high stakes culture war is playing out across our cultural landscape in ways that we need to better understand and the practice of blackface as a political tool has become a particularly potent flash point.\n\nPlease join us for a conversation about ‘blackface – then and now.’ What is it? Why does it still matter?  Why was it a thing in 1880 and 1980?  Why is it all over the news now? And\, how can we better understand the violent uses to which cultural appropriation more broadly gets put?\n\nCome talk to scholars who work on questions like these about these questions and others you might have about blackface\, redface and yellowface then and now.\n\nWith:\nStephen Berrey (American Culture and History)\, Bethany Hughes (American Culture and Native American studies)\, and Peter Ho Davies (English)\, and Matthew Countryman (Afroamerican and African studies\, American Culture\, History). Moderated by Angela Dillard (Residential College\, Afroamerican and African Studies\, and Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education).

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Printmaking Workshop with Kim Berman
DESCRIPTION:This workshop uses an art-based methodology called Paper Prayers\, which are expressions of hope and well-being. Paper Prayers have been used in South Africa for the past 20 years to help people respond to trauma around HIV\, gender-based violence\, conflict\, and a range of other social issues.\n\nParticipants will learn how the visual arts can help shift our perspectives on people different from ourselves. Each participant will make at least one small artwork in the format of a longitudinal strip of paper characteristic of a Paper Prayer using hand printing and/or collage.\n\nAt the end of the workshop\, participants meet together in their small groups to share the meaning of the image they created. Their testimony or story becomes a way to discuss difficult issues in a safe space.\n\nThe event takes place at Ann Arbor District Library Downtown - Secret Lab.
