To speak of silence means to speak of a multitude of paradoxes\, as well as to enter an exciting avenue for literature\, activism and interdisciplinary scholarship. Our conference interrogates what it means to plumb silences in the archive in search of unheard voices\, and invites scholars to investigate the meanings of silence as a critical category. In particular\, this conference is interested in mapping – across scholarly and creative disciplines – questions of translating silences in the archive\, in the text\, in the subject\, and in activism. What are the possible ways of translating silence when events and experiences resist such translation? What challenges and possibilities does silence offer translators and scholars\, who are tasked with making meaning of both the enunciated and the unsaid or untranslatable? How can we engage with knowledge that does not yield itself to current academic frameworks? In what ways can a focus on silence help to transform knowledge itself?\n\nProfessor Irena Klepfisz received her doctorate from the University of Chicago in Victorian literature\, and later did post-doctoral work in Yiddish at YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. In addition to teaching in numerous universities around the country\, Klepfisz taught for ten years in the college program at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility\, a women’s maximum security prison. Last year\, she retired after 22 years of teaching Jewish Women's Studies at Barnard College. Klepfisz immigrated to the U.S. at age 8 and was raised among Yiddish-speaking\, Jewish Labor Bundist (socialist) Holocaust survivors in the Bronx\, where she attended public schools\, a Yiddish shule\, and mitlshul. She was an activist during the Second Wave\, particularly in the lesbian/feminist movement\, and addressed issues of anti-Semitism\, Israeli/Palestinian peace\, Jewish identity\, and veltlekhe yidishkayt/secular Yiddish culture. \n\nKlepfisz’s extensive publishing and performance record includes founding and co-editing Conditions magazine\, serving as the Yiddish editor of the Jewish feminist Bridges\, contributing to Nice Jewish Girls: A Lesbian Anthology\, and co-editing The Tribe of Dina: A Jewish Women’s Anthology. She authored two performance pieces commissioned by the Jewish Museum (NY): Bread and Candy: Songs of the Holocaust and Zeyre eygene verter: In their own words (Yiddish women writers). She is the author of A Few Words in the Mother Tongue (poems) and Dreams of an Insomniac (essays)\, and most recently co-edited The Stars Bear Witness: The Jewish Labor Bund 1897-2017 and Koved zeyer ondenk: Honor to Their Memory (for the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising).\n\nSCHEDULE:\n15th March\, Friday \n10 am - 10.30 am Breakfast \n10.30 am -10.45 am Opening remarks \n10.45 am - 12.15 pm \nPanel 1: Justice and Activism\nRespondent: Antoine Traisnel\nPanel Papers:\nMina Khalil: “Presenting the Criminal Defendant in Nineteenth-Century Egypt: the Presumption of Innocence as Silence”\nElisa Corona Aguilar: “Fists up: Orchestrating Silence in Mexico City´s Post- Earthquake Rescuing Activities”\nSeon-Myung Yoo: “The Deafening Silence of Comfort Women Survivors”\n12.15 pm - 1.15 pm Lunch\n1.15 pm - 2.45 pm \nPanel 2: Untranslatability\nRespondent: Maya Barzilai\nPanel Papers:\nCorbin Allardice: “Di Rayze Aheym: Yiddish Heteroglossia as State Critique in Sutzkever’s Gaystike Erd”\nAaron Coleman: “The Role of Literary Translation in Witnessing the African Diaspora: Neglected Legacies of Black USAmerican Poets translating AfroCuban Poets”\nElias Pitegoff: “What Remains\; On the Memorial Addressed to Nothing in Particular”\n2.45 pm - 3 pm Coffee Break\n3 pm - 4.30 pm \nPanel 3: Violence and Witnessing\nRespondent: Tatjana Aleksić\nPanel Papers:\nMartha Henzy: “Real Violence” and Virtual Reality: Jordon Wolfson’s Theater of Cruelty\nNina Jackson Levin: The Worst Loss\, Silenced: Problematizing the Social and Archival Silencing of Grieving Mothers”\nKristina Krasny: “Vertretung and Darstellung in the Poetry of Hester Pulter”\n4.30 pm - 5.30 pm Reception\n5.30 pm - 7 pm\nKeynote- Irena Klepfisz “The 2087th question\, or when silence is the only answer”\n\n16th March\, Saturday:\n9 am - 9.30 am Breakfast \n9.30 am - 11 am \nPanel 4: Sounding Queer Desire\nRespondent: Shira Schwartz\nPanel Papers:\nBenjamin Hollenbach: “Silent Faith: Mainline Protestants\, LGBTQ Inclusion\, and Religious Devotion”\nLars Stoltzfus-Brown: “Why White People Love the Amish: Settler Colonialism\, Violence\, and White Heteronostalgia”\nAmanda Kubic: “‘Neither honey nor the bee for me:’ Silence and Desire in Fragment 113”\n11 am - 11.15 am Coffee Break\n11.15 am - 12.45 pm\nPanel 5: Poetics \nRespondent: Yopie Prins \nPanel Papers:\nLisa Levin: Notes on Notes on Speechlessness\nJasmine An: “‘the model minority disability disability creation’ – a mixed media experiment in digital storytelling”\nSara Deniz Akant: “One Sea Leads to Another: Approaching Memory and the Unsayable in Meena Alexander’s Atmospheric Embroidery”\n12.45 pm - 2 pm Lunch \n2 pm - 3 pm A Reading and Conversation with Irena Klepfisz \n3.15 pm - 4.45 pm \nPanel 6: Silence\, Address\, Redress\nRespondent: Liz Wingrove\nNathaniel Harrington: “Cànan a’ bhreithneachaidh (The language of criticism)”\nLuiza Caetano: Contradiction as strategy: Germaine de Staël’s “Three Novellas”\nGrace Zanotti: “Reading Through the Lacuna: Anne Carson’s Pinplay and Euripides’ Bacchae”\n4.45 pm - 5 pm Closing Remarks\n7.30 pm - 9 pm Student Creative Reading at Literati Bookstore\n\nGrace Zanotti\, Genta Nishku\, Shalmali Jadhav\, Shira Schwartz\, Duygu Ergun\nCLIFF 2019 Conference Organizers\nDepartment of Comparative Literature\nUniversity of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\ncliff.complit@umich.edu UID:58374-14491981@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58374 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Anthropology,Books,Classical Studies,Culture,Discussion,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Food,Free,Graduate Students,History,Interdisciplinary,Jewish Studies,Lecture,LGBT,Multicultural,symposium LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)

Using Medicare claims data we estimate a model of treatment decisions\, in which physicians are partially altruistic and value both their own compensation and their patients’ health. We then use the recovered parameters of the model in combination with contract theory to derive and simulate optimal linear and nonlinear reimbursement schedules. Physicians differ in their marginal costs of treatment\, and this heterogeneity is unobservable to the govern-ment\, which affects payment policy\, along with physician altruism and the effectiveness of treatment. Comparing outcomes under these optimal contracts against those ob-served under the actual contracts suggests that substantial improvements in payment policy can be achieved within a fee-for-service framework.\n\nPRELIMINARY—PLEASE DO NOT CITE UID:58710-14544815@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58710 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Ross School of Business - R0420 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190227T145015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190315T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190315T170000 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.

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:60543-14908136@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:20190330T063021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190315T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190315T163000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:BlackRock's Find Your Future Forum DESCRIPTION:Apply Now For BlackRock’s Find Your Future Forum!\n\nLearn how to jump start your career at BlackRock’s one-day educational program for college sophomores\n\nWhere & When:\nBlackRock Offices\n• New York: March 15 or 29\n• San Francisco: April 1\n• Atlanta: April 3\n\nApplication Deadline: \nThursday\, February 28 @ 8:00AM EST\n\nEligibility Requirements: \nWe are seeking talented sophomores with strong academic credentials across any major or discipline.

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.

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.

On filthy nouns and dirty verbs: Translating sex in Tagalog missionary linguistics DESCRIPTION:Some of the oldest specimens of indigenous literacies in the Philippines are found in the linguistic texts written by Catholic missionaries who wanted to talk about Christianity in any of the archipelago’s many tongues. These texts\, the object of the discipline we now refer to as missionary linguistics\, constitute the earliest systematic attempt to reduce these languages into a set of replicable rules. While current research directions generally analyze missionary linguistics as a resource for studying early written forms of non-European languages or for reconstructing the initial stages of linguistics as a scientific pursuit\, I argue that it can similarly be examined as a corpus of translation. This is particularly true for colonial articulations about sex. In this presentation\, I will describe how missionary texts on Tagalog\, the basis of the modern-day national language called Filipino\, commemorated sexual practices in the early modern Philippines through the use of a specific translational repertoire. I will show instances where the juxtaposition of the translational parameters of equivalence\, incommensurability and untranslatability with the moral teachings on human sexuality resulted in peculiar translation strategies for describing indigenous sexualities and inscribing them into a Christianized discourse on civility. \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.

However\, developing matrix completion algorithms for networks requires taking into account the network structure. This talk will discuss three examples of matrix completion used for network tasks. First\, we discuss the use of matrix completion for cross-validation or non-parametric bootstrap on network data\, a long-standing problem in network analysis. Two other examples focus on reconstructing incompletely observed networks\, with structured missingness resulting from network sampling mechanisms. One scenario we consider is egocentric sampling\, where a set of nodes is selected first and then their connections to the entire network are observed. Another scenario focuses on data from surveys\, where people are asked to name a given number of friends. We show that matrix completion can generally be very helpful in solving network problems\, as long as the network structure is taken into account. \n\nThis talk is based on joint work with Elizaveta Levina\, Tianxi Li and Yun-Jhong Wu.

The botched switch to the Flint River from Lake Huron exposed city residents to long-term hazardous levels of lead\, dangerous bacteria\, and other toxins. Officials employed fraudulent testing methods to declare the water safe\, dismissed residents’ mysterious health ailments as anecdotes\, and discounted “citizen scientist” data showing lead levels to exceed safety standards. Only when Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha produced incontrovertible evidence of elevated lead levels in her patients did the state publicly acknowledge a problem. At first\, the struggle over data by officials and “citizen scientists” produced what Dr. Hanna-Attisha called a “loop of white noise” in the news media that confounded public understanding. This would soon change. Drawing on a 2017 focus-group interview with Michigan Radio reporters and editors covering the Crisis\, this lecture considers how and why “data” became a protagonist in the story and how these journalists chose to interrupt the “loop of white noise” with sound data of a different form.

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.

Yet\, past research shows that longer parental leaves can have unintended negative career impacts\, especially for women\, while the effects for men are less well understood. In this talk\, I will present data examining the effect of parental leaves on both women’s and men’s careers. I will first present a set of studies examining effects of longer (one year and above) parental leaves on women’s careers. Given that past research shows that longer parental leaves may unintentionally harm women’s career progress\, while they are also beneficial for the health of mothers and babies\, here we sought to identify the mechanism underlying negative effects of longer (vs. shorter) maternity leaves: undermined perceptions of agency. That is\, to enable mothers to do both\, i.e.\, take longer maternity leaves and advance their careers\, it was important to identify an underlying mechanism and consequently utilize this knowledge to test interventions that boost agency perceptions and mitigate negative effects of longer parental leaves. In a context of Canadian parental leave policies\, we found that undermined perceptions of agency mediated the negative effects of a longer (i.e.\, one year) compared to a shorter (i.e.\, one month) maternity leave on job commitment (Study 1)\; providing information about a woman’s agency mitigates the unintended negative effects of a longer maternity leave (Study 2)\; and the usage of an organizational program that enables women to stay in touch with the workplace while on maternity leaves enhances agency perceptions and mitigates negative consequences (Study 3). Next\, given that true gender equality involves men’s experiences as well\, I will present findings from two studies on the effects of parental leaves on men’s career outcomes. Contrary to the negative effects of parental leaves on women’s careers\, we theorized and found in a sample of undergraduate students (Study 4) and employees (Study 5) that the effects of parental leaves on men’s careers can be positive due to others’ enhanced perceptions of men’s “communality\,” i.e.\, traits generally ascribed to women such as warmth\, friendliness\, and a sensitivity to the needs of others. Implications for theory\, practice\, and gender equality broadly are discussed.

In male humans\, conspicuous consumption—the consumption and display of luxury goods as an ostentatious expression of wealth and status—serves similar functions. Conspicuous consumption in humans has been found to increase sexual selection\, costly signaling of mating qualities\, and the perception of heterosexual men’s mate attraction motives. Because the literature has focused more on the conspicuous consumption of single men\, the function of men’s conspicuous consumption within a committed romantic relationship has been overlooked. Through three studies\, the current research explores the association between heterosexual men’s conspicuous consumption\, self-reported satisfaction of their current committed romantic relationship\, and their female partners’ beliefs and behavioral reactions to this consumption. The current study adds to the previous literature by providing a framework to understand men’s motivation to consume luxury products and women’s response to their conspicuous consumption within a committed romantic relationship.

These include (i) that the aim of inquiry is not to uncover truth but to serve our practical interests\, (ii) that truth is nothing other than that which rational inquiry converges on in the long run\, (iii) that the meaning of a statement is given by its practical consequences\, and (iv) that any inflationary notion of truth or representation should be rejected as philosophically idle. These are all rejected by contemporary realists\, for whom truth plays a central role in a theory of meaning and inquiry. I will argue that a normative assumption widespread amongst contemporary realists in fact leads straight to these four pragmatist theses.

To test this idea\, galaxies and clusters of galaxies serve as cosmic colliders for measuring self-scattering among dark matter particles. Present constraints imply that if self-interactions are to solve the infamous core-cusp problem in dwarf galaxies\, the scattering cross section must fall with energy/velocity to avoid cluster limits. To test this velocity dependence\, I present new constraints on dark matter self-interactions at an intermediate scale with groups of galaxies. I also describe using mock observations from N-body simulations of self-interacting dark matter with baryons as a test of our methods.

Given these spatial constraints\, it is essential to have the right capability to measure the resultant features at the appropriate fine scale. High resolution topography samples the ground surface at least once per square meter and has decimeter local or preferably global accuracy. Analyses of high resolution topography in the study of active faulting can be divided into 4 classes: fault zone mapping\, reconstructing surface deformation including offset\, investigating geomorphic responses to active deformation\, and differencing of repeat surveys for both fault and ground failure characterization.

By analyzing Hmong women’s narratives against U.S. redacted archival records that erase Hmong and Laos history during the U.S. “secret war\,” the talk explores the politics of knowledge formation which has generated a historiography about the Hmong refugee as a masculinized refugee soldier and a distinct U.S. ally. Taking a feminist refugee approach\, Dr. Vang’s talk will show how Hmong women’s narratives rechronicle the history of war through the patterns of displacement and migration rather than military operations\, which does not succumb to either of the veteran or “good” refugee representations. Hmong women’s narratives’ rechronicling of history foregrounds refugees as knowing subjects whose social production can help us understand the processes of war and militarism\, gender and migration\, and knowledge formation.\n\nBio:\nMa Vang is an Assistant Professor of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at the University of California\, Merced. Her interdisciplinary research on Hmong refugees and the “secret war” advances a refugee critique of secrets\, history\, and knowledge production.

She is the co-editor of Claiming Place: On the Agency of Hmong Women(2016)\, and her writings have been published in positions: asia critiqueand MELUS. She has received several awards including the Ford Dissertation Fellowship\, the UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship\, and the UC Multicampus Research grant.

This paper explores how these alignments draw on images of feminism as modernity and menace\, and normative masculinity as bewilderment\, abandonment and alienation\, appropriating the identities of marginalized men and feminized weakness to their advantage. I draw upon my ethnographic fieldwork with Men’s Rights Activists across Indian cities to identify some of the contradictions about gendered and intersectional power within such representations and their connection to MRM movement strategies. I argue that Men’s Rights Activists’ practices of projecting vengeance and claiming vulnerability in legal and political realms are premised upon inversions of discourses of power\, elisions of gender\, caste and class\, and conflations of feminism and the State.\n\nSrimati Basu is Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies and Anthropology\, and a member of the Committee on Social Theory and the Asia Center Affiliates.

This makes them unsuitable in applications that have limited data or require safety or stability guarantees\, such as robotics. By infusing structure and physics into deep-learning algorithms\, we can overcome these limitations. There are several ways to do this. For instance\, we use tensorized neural networks to encode multidimensional data and higher-order correlations. We combine symbolic expressions with numerical data to learn a domain of functions and obtain strong generalization. We combine baseline controllers with learnt residual dynamics to improve landing of quadrotor drones. These instances demonstrate that building structure into ML algorithms can lead to significant gains.\n \nBio: Anima Anandkumar is a Bren professor at Caltech CMS department and a director of machine learning research at NVIDIA.

All are welcome!\n\nABSTRACT\nThe Relationship between Speaking and Understanding\n\nLanguage comprehension\, language production\, and grammatical analysis are typically pursued relatively independently of one another. We have long been interested in the relation between parsing and grammar\, but have neglected mechanisms for production. If we cannot unify mechanisms for speaking and understanding\, then unifying grammatical computation with either of them is likely fruitless. I will discuss the progress that we have made on understanding these issues.

Kelly\, American Nuclear Society DESCRIPTION:Title: Perspectives on the future of nuclear power in the United States\n\nAbstract: Currently there are dozens of Light Water Reactors (LWRs) under construction around the world. Most experts expect LWR technology to be the primary source of nuclear power well into the latter half of this century. At the same time there continues to be strong interest in moving to more advanced LWR technology (such as Small Modular Reactors) and Generation IV systems. The presentation will provide perspectives on the future of nuclear power in the United States and how the integration of LWR technology and Gen IV technology can lead to sustainable nuclear power.\n\nBio: Dr. John E. Kelly is the President of the American Nuclear Society. He retired from the U.S. Department of Energy at the end of 2017. At DOE\, he was the Chief Technology Officer in the Office of Nuclear Energy. He was responsible for establishing the strategic technical direction for the research\, development\, demonstration\, and deployment portfolios. Prior to assuming the duties of Chief Technology Officer\, he was the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Reactor Technologies. He was responsible for the civilian nuclear reactor research and development portfolio\, which included programs on Small Modular Reactors\, Light Water Reactors\, Generation IV reactors\, and Radioisotope Power Systems for space exploration. In the international arena\, he chaired the Generation IV International Forum and the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Standing Advisory Group on Nuclear Energy. Prior to joining the Department of Energy in 2010\, Dr. Kelly spent 30 years at Sandia National Laboratories where he was engaged in a broad spectrum of research programs in nuclear reactor safety\, advanced nuclear energy technology\, and national security. Dr. Kelly received his B.S. degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan in 1976 and his Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1980.

Light refreshments will be provided.\n\nIn 1969\, Ann and Ken Mikolowski set up a 1904 letterpress in their home and began The Alternative Press\, an experimental press publishing work by artists and writers from Detroit's Cass Corridor\, alongside key voices from the Beat and Black Mountain schools of poetry. Their unusual mailings included bookmarks\, broadsides\, bumper stickers\, and postcards\, including a unique project where artists were set loose with 500 blank postcards to turn into one-of-a-kind pieces. The exhibit presents work produced by the press\, from early free poems to the final issue of the mailings\, as well as correspondence and drafts that provide unique insight into the process of producing these artworks. All materials are from The Alternative Press Records held in the Special Collections Research Center.

How did the NEA funding controversy and charges of indecency surrounding his posthumous exhibition The Perfect Moment shape the way his work has been remembered? How have contemporary artists been influenced by\, and commented on\, his large and varied body of work? In conjunction with UMS's world premiere of Triptych (the eyes of one on another)\, a new music theatre work about Mapplethorpe's life and work\, noted art historian Richard Meyer will unpack Mapplethorpe's complicated afterlife in the public imagination. \n \nRichard Meyer\, Robert and Ruth Halperin Professor in Art History at Stanford University\, teaches courses in twentieth-century American art\, the history of photography\, arts censorship and the first amendment\, curatorial practice\, and gender and sexuality studies. His first book\, Outlaw Representation: Censorship and Homosexuality in Twentieth-Century American Art\, was awarded the Charles C. Eldredge Prize for Outstanding Scholarship from the Smithsonian American Art Museum. In 2013\, he published What Was Contemporary Art?\, a study of the idea of \"the contemporary\" in early twentieth-century American art\, and\, with Catherine Lord\, Art and Queer Culture\, a survey focusing on the dialogue between visual art and non-normative sexualities from 1885 to the present. \n\nThis program is organized by UMS and co-sponsored by UMMA.

His music transcends the confines of genre\, continually challenging the notion that tradition-bearers fail to push musical boundaries. Cleverly striding among numerous forms of traditional American music\, Pokey has crafted a genre all his own\, marked by its accessible ingenuity. Rather than merely conjuring up half-forgotten imagery of days past\, Pokey is a lyrical storyteller\, the plot delivered smoothly through his dynamic vocals. One moment he shouts a line and the next he croons above his archtop guitar. He transmits a rare distillation of old American sounds! Based in St. Louis\, Missouri\, Pokey honors the musical traditions of that town without aping them. He's an Ark favorite\, heard most recently at the 2019 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.
