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).

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:59301-14728312@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:20190124T101455 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190313T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190313T103000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Nuclear Option: New mechanisms of tumor evolution and drug resistance DESCRIPTION:2019 Cell & Developmental Biology Seminar Series\n\nHosted by: \nPierre Coulombe\, Ph.D. \nSunny Wong\, Ph.D. UID:60229-14849132@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60229 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biosciences,Science LOCATION:Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building - BSRB Seminar Rooms A, B, C CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190227T145015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190313T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190313T170000 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.

In 1963 a new planning approach was developed that was much better suited to the realities of higher education in the post-World War II era. This approach transformed the campus from a loosely organized\, unattractive setting with numerous functional and organizational problems to the more coherent\, functional\, and attractive campus of today. \n\nThis two hour presentation will focus on the key role played by open space\, circulation systems\, and community interface as well as architecture to achieve the desired outcome – a functional\, well organized\, pedestrian-oriented\, and aesthetically harmonious campus. The emphasis will be on the implementation process and how the desired results were obtained\, rather than theories of campus planning or the personalities involved. It will give insight into how the campus plan was translated into a physical reality.\n\n Instructor Fred Mayer served for 37 years as the Campus Planner for the University of Michigan. The two hour presentation for those 50 and over will be held on Wednesday\, March 13\, from 10 am to 12 pm.

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:60543-14908134@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:20190214T094905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190313T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190313T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with SRC faculty Erin Ware DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ware is a self-taught HPC user and excited to host a weekly hackerspace from February 13 to April 3\, 2019.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W.

The Language Politics of Contemporary Ukrainian Cinema: From Unreflective Confusion to Strategic Multilingualism DESCRIPTION:This talk traces the evolution of post-Soviet Ukrainian cinema\, from the excitement and experimentation of the early post-independence years to the serious economic and institutional challenges during the late 1990s and early 2000s\, to the creative revival of the latest 5 years\, in the post-Euromaidan era. The language choices made by the filmmakers serve as a window into the struggles with questions of identity\, implied audience\, and aesthetic and political choices. Films examined range from those by leading filmmakers of the older generation\, such as Kira Muratova and Iurii Illienko\, to prominent younger innovators\, such as Myroslav Slaboshpyts´kyi and Kateryna Hornostai. \n \nVitaly Chernetsky is an associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures and director of the Center for Russian\, East European & Eurasian Studies at the University of Kansas.

A rally will be held on Wednesday\, March 13 at 12 PM on The Diag in front of Hatcher Graduate Library. A subsequent meeting will take place on Thursday\, March 14 at 7 PM in the Michigan League\, Room A.\n\nThe IYSSE is declaring the imprisonment of Manning an egregious attack on democratic rights and a threat to press freedom. The courageous whistleblower was imprisoned on Friday for refusing to testify before a secret grand jury that is drawing up fabricated charges against WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange on behalf of the Trump administration. Beginning in 2010\, Manning exposed major US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan including the infamous Collateral Murder cockpit video showing a US helicopter in Baghdad gunning down 16 unarmed civilians\, including two Reuters journalists. \n\nWednesday’s demonstration is part of a series of coordinated rallies around the country\, with the Socialist Equality Party (US) and the World Socialist Web Site (wsws.org). The perspective of this campaign places the basis of the defense of press freedom and democratic rights on the mobilization of the international working class.

Mohler Prize Lecture and Reception DESCRIPTION:Title: Cosmic Collisions Reveal Einstein’s Gravitational-Wave Universe\n\nAbstract: For the first time\, scientists have observed ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves\, arriving at the earth from cataclysmic events in the distant universe. These recent observations confirm a major prediction of Albert Einstein’s 1915 general theory of relativity and open an unprecedented new window onto the cosmos. Gravitational waves carry unique information about their dramatic origins and about the nature of gravity that cannot otherwise be obtained. Detected gravitational waves were produced during the final fraction of a second of the mergers of two black holes but also during the last hundred seconds of the collision of two neutron stars. The latter is the first ever cosmic event to be observed both in gravitational waves and in electromagnetic waves\, shedding light to several long-standing puzzles\, like the production of gold in nature and the physics origins of brief gamma-ray flashes. I will review the beginnings of this exciting field of cosmic exploration and the unprecedented technology and engineering that made it possible.\n\nShould you require any reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access and opportunity related to this event\, please contact Stacy Tiburzi at 734-764-3440 or stibu@umich.edu.

In part\, this is because the forms of scholarly communication are diversifying as its production expands and accelerates. Scholars are starting to publish the materials of research\, e.g.\, data sets\, analytic code\, and intermediate results. These types of artifacts complement published monographs and journal articles. Besides\, communication of research results can take the form of scholarly code. In some cases\, results arrive first as machine-executable models\, which are only later reiterated and described in natural language for people to read.\n\nThese changes in scholarly communication are impacting the global advancement of biomedicine. They have sparked conversations and debates about the replicability of scientific experiments and studies. They challenge us to understand more deeply the value of integrity and continuity for the biomedical scholarly record\, in particular. A record which\, for many decades\, has been used to disseminate evidence that is needed to advance medical practice. Indeed\, for all professions\, making published scholarly code findable\, accessible\, interoperable\, and reusable (the FAIR principles) seems necessary to advance practice through mass action.\n\nFlynn's academic teamwork generally focuses on the research and development of technical knowledge infrastructure for managing and deploying computable knowledge throughout health systems. Current team projects include the Knowledge Grid\, an open source prototype platform and testbed for exploring ways to mobilize computable biomedical knowledge and thereby improve human health and safety. He holds a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and a Doctorate in Information Science\, both from the University of Michigan.

How Panzi Hospital and its Foundation Added Advocacy to its Pillars of Care DESCRIPTION:Alain Mukwege is a Congolese born physician and a human right activist. His work was inspired by his father’s\, Denis Mukwege\, the 2018 Nobel Peace prize recipient for his advocacy against sexual violence in conflicts. Alain Mukwege is a member of the advisory board of Panzi Foundation USA\, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide holistic care to victims of sexual violence and to advocate to end violence against women and girls in DR Congo and beyond its borders. He holds a Master a Clinical research and Translational Science and his research interests lie in the development of mechanisms to improve Women’s health and to prevent gender based violence. \n \nPresently living in Ann Arbor Michigan to prepare for a training in Obstetrics and Gynecology\, his work also involves building partnerships between American institutions and Panzi Hospital to help develop local Congolese capacities to address local problems. This framed collaborations with notably\, the University Of Michigan School Of Nursing and with World without Genocide. He believes that the cessation of violence against women would be indispensable in the advancement of healthy communities and that violence against women in addition to be a violation of basic human rights is also a global health hazard. \n \nThis event is sponsored by: Program in International and Comparative Studies and Donia Human Rights Center.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

The limited adoption of machine learning in healthcare to date highlights the fact that there remain important challenges. In this talk\, I will highlight two key challenges related to applying machine learning in healthcare: 1) interpretability and 2) small sample size. First\, machine learning has often been criticized for producing ‘black boxes.’ In this talk\, I will argue that interpretability is neither necessary nor sufficient\, demonstrating that even interpretable models can lack common sense. To address this issue\, we propose a novel regularization method that enables the incorporation of domain knowledge during model training\, leading to increased robustness. Second\, machine learning techniques benefit from large amounts of data. However\, oftentimes in healthcare we find ourselves in data poor settings (i.e.\, small sample sizes). I will show how domain knowledge can help guide architecture choices and efficiently make use of available data. There’s a critical need for machine learning in healthcare\; however\, the safe and meaningful adoption of these techniques requires close collaboration in interdisciplinary teams and a careful understanding of one’s domain.\n\nJenna Wiens is a Morris Wellman Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Her primary research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning\, data mining\, and healthcare. She is particularly interested in time-series analysis and transfer/multitask learning. The overarching goal of her research agenda is to develop the computational methods needed to help organize\, process\, and transform patient data into actionable knowledge. Jenna received her PhD from MIT in 2014. In 2015 she was named Forbes 30 under 30 in Science and Healthcare\; she received an NSF CAREER Award in 2016\; and recently she was named to the MIT Tech Review's list of Innovators Under 35.

One of the most widely disseminated universal histories - known as the \"Histoire ancienne jusqu’à César\" - was written in Flanders in French c.1210\, but then circulated widely throughout the rest of the Middle Ages\, particularly in Italy and the eastern Mediterranean\, as well as in France\, often in sumptuous illustrated copies. This lecture will focus upon the ideological freight of the \"Histoire ancienne\" being written and circulating in French in the light of the text’s own insistence on the value of being written ‘en nos lengue’. The analysis will draw on Jacques Derrida’s work on monolingualism and on the myth of a universal language\, paying particular attention to the Histoire ancienne’s\" account of Babel\, to the different visual style of manuscripts from different places (the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem\, Italy and France)\, and to the narrator’s own repeated designation of the text’s language as ‘ours’. It will be argued that texts like the \"Histoire ancienne\" instantiate what might be called a ‘language network’ as opposed to the more familiar notions of a ‘language [or speech] community’ or indeed ‘textual community’.

The antielectron (now called the positron) and the antiproton were discovered experimentally in 1932 and 1955\, respectively. It then took\, however\, more than half a century before physicists were able to create and control the atomic form of antimatter\, the antihydrogen atom\, in sufficient quantity to be able to study its properties.\n\nThe hydrogen atom\, the simplest atomic system has played a central role in developments of modern physics. By studying antihydrogen\, an antiproton orbited by an antielectron\, we wish to precisely probe the fundamental symmetries between matter and antimatter. In particular\, CPT (charge\, parity\, time-reversal) symmetry underpins relativistic quantum field theory\, and the Equivalence Principle is a key assumption in Einstein’s General Relativity. A violation of these symmetries\, even at a very minute level\, would force a radical change in the way we understand subatomic physics at its deepest level. In this talk\, I will discuss how we produce\, control\, and perform precision measurements on antihydrogen atoms that are \"bottled\" in the ALPHA antihydrogen trap at CERN.\n UID:61264-15063347@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61264 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190204T101941 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190313T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Gender: New Works\, New Questions- Branding Humanity: Competing Narratives of Rights\, Violence\, and Global Citizenship by Amal Hassan Fadlalla DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \n- Amal Hassan Fadlalla\, Associate Professor\, Women's Studies\, Anthropology\, Afroamerican and African Studies\n- Sandra Gunning\, Professor\, Afroamerican and African Studies\, and American Culture\; \n- Victor Mendoza\, Associate Professor\, English and Women’s Studies\; Faculty Associate\, Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies Program\, and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies\n\nThe Save Darfur movement gained an international following\, garnering widespread international attention to this remote Sudanese territory.

Moreover\, this disconnect is stronger for firms with fewer\ncompetitors. This paper poses a new dynamic general equilibrium model of rational inattention with oligopolistic pricing that explains these facts. Under high micro-level strategic complementarities (1) the model implied Phillips curve relates inflation mainly to firms' expectations about their competitors' beliefs and (2) firms with fewer competitors pay more attention to their competitors' beliefs and less attention to aggregates. To provide evidence for this channel\, I measure micro-level strategic complementarity for a representative sample of firms in New Zealand and document that the average firm faces a strategic complementarity of 0.8\, and that it is decreasing with the firms' number of competitors. An exploratory calibration shows that imperfectly competitive firms' strategic inattention to aggregates significantly propagates monetary non-neutrality: it increases the impact response of output to an expansionary monetary policy shock by 25%. It also decreases the impact response of inflation to such a shock by 47% and increases its half-life by 31%.

Associate Professor Eric Lormand will be joining us to discuss \"The Easy Hard and Hard Easy Problems of Consciousness.\"\n\nProfessor Lormand’s research concerns those mental phenomena that inspire philosophical challenges to cognitive science\, including consciousness and qualia\, self-knowledge\, meaning\, mental representation\, emotions\, skills\, and rationality. Currently he is working on the epistemic justification of logic\, of inference to the best explanation\, and of evaluations. He is also interested in pursuing related issues in phenomenology and metaphysics.\n\nOverview\n\"The Easy Hard and Hard Easy Problems of Consciousness: Two Reasons to Be Nice\"\nThe famous so-called “hard problem” about explaining conscious experience--which many like David Chalmers take to be a show-stopper--turns out to be easy. If you’re nice I’ll tip you off on how to solve it. But there’s a different reason why none of the famous theories you can read about in online encyclopedias (theories from philosophers and scientists like Tye\, Tononi\, Prinz\, Penrose\, Lycan\, Kriegel\, Koch\, Dennett\, Chalmers\, Carruthers\, Block\, Baars) come anywhere close to explaining conscious experience. I’ll describe that second easy-to-understand problem\, and if you’re extra nice I’ll tip you off on how to solve it\, too.

Since the turn of the millennium\, Crowell has been on a roll\, releasing personal\, ambitious albums to wide critical acclaim. With his autobiographical masterpiece \"The Houston Kid\,\" he took an unflinching look at his own down-and-out upbringing\, and he comes to The Ark with a new album\, \"Close Ties\,\" that flows from the same sources and has been nominated for an Americana Music Association Album of the Year award.
