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.

However\, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has neuroprotective effects that may reduce the need for downregulation of the axis in response to stress. Furthermore\, high DHEA/cortisol ratios are often conceptualized as reflecting a protective profile due to high availability of DHEA. In this study we explored if DHEA and DHEA/cortisol ratios moderated the association between early trauma and the cortisol response.\n\nMETHODS: The sample consisted of 80 adolescents (aged 12-16) who completed the Child Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and the Trier Social Stress Test. Cortisol was modeled using saliva samples at seven timepoints after the start of the TSST. Cortisol and DHEA ratios were examined at baseline and 35 minutes post-stress initiation.\n\nRESULTS: Early trauma was associated with lower activation slope and peak levels but DHEA moderated this effect. Specifically\, at high levels of DHEA\, the impact of CTQ on cortisol peak levels was no longer significant. High DHEA/cortisol ratios were associated with an intensification of the impact of CTQ on peak levels. \n\nCONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that DHEA can limit blunting of the HPA axis in response to early trauma. However\, this protective effect was not reflected in high DHEA/cortisol ratios. Instead\, high ratios were associated with a greater effect of early trauma. Therefore\, high DHEA and high DHEA/cortisol ratios may reflect\ndifferent\, and often opposite\, processes. Our findings indicate that DHEA/cortisol ratios do not necessarily reflect a protective neuroendocrine profile.

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:60543-14908139@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:20190207T080405 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Center for Research on Learning (CRLT) DESCRIPTION:Whitney Peoples of the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching will be leading a faculty workshop on whiteness in the classroom.

A more novel perspective views adolescence as a stage optimized for exploration\, including of new motivations and emerging identities in ways that foster both autonomy and connectedness. While the dominant neurodevelopmental approaches have relied on dual-systems and imbalance models to explain adolescent behavior\, I will argue that motivated behavior during adolescence can be modeled by a general value-based decision-making process centered around value accumulation in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). Interestingly\, neuroimaging studies of self-related processes demonstrate enhanced engagement of the vmPFC in adolescence\, which may both facilitate and reflect the development of identity by integrating the value of potential actions and choices. This approach advances models of adolescent neurodevelopment that focus on reward sensitivity and cognitive control by considering more diverse value inputs\, including contributions of developing social processes related to self and identity. It also considers adolescent decision making and behavior from adolescents' point of view rather than adults' perspectives on what adolescents should value or how they should behave.

DESCRIPTION:According to the latest IPCC report\, the world must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions drastically if it is to keep global warming below 1.5 °C. Economists generally agree that the most efficient way to reduce such emissions is to put a price on the carbon content of fossil fuels\, either by taxing carbon or through cap and trade systems. In his book\, Can We Price Carbon?\, UM Public Policy Professor Barry Rabe analyses the history of successes and failures of previous carbon pricing schemes\, and shows that despite the political difficulties\, carbon pricing can be workable. We will discuss his book over three sessions and then meet with Prof. Rabe at a fourth for updates and further discussion. \n\nThese sessions for those 50 and above will be led by Instructor Craig Stephan\, a retired physicist who has led several OLLI study groups including two on the science of climate change. The Study Group will meet on Mondays from 1-3 p.m. and run from March 18 through April 8.

The inherent advantages of these devices\, including the electrodeless design and the potential to be propellant-agnostic\, coupled with the potential to efficiently accelerate the propellant makes low-power magnetic nozzles attractive propulsion options for small satellites. A theoretical model was developed to predict low-power magnetic nozzle performance and identify fundamental differences in operation between these devices and their higher power counterparts. \n\nAn experiment was designed to inform the theoretical model to provide insight into the fundamental plasma dynamics within a low-power magnetic nozzle. This test article consisted of a reconfigurable inductively-coupled plasma source and an electromagnet. Electrostatic probes and laser induced fluorescence are used to measure the plasma properties throughout the plume. By coupling the experimental results with the theoretical framework two novel effects that reduce device performance are identified: $1$) neutral-collisional effects impedes ion acceleration and $2$) non-uniform power deposition degrades source and divergence efficiency. These effects arise from the low input power and the thruster design parameters. Experimental characterization of a reconfigured test article demonstrates that performance can be recovered by accounting for these two effects when designing the thruster and selecting the operating parameters.

Different Pathways\, Common Destination? Public Policy and Institutional Changes in Greece\, Italy\, Portugal\, and Spain during and after the Economic Crisis DESCRIPTION:While Greece\, Italy\, Portugal and Spain slid into economic crisis in the 2010 for different reasons and at different time points and have already started overcoming the crises in a varied manner\, there was visible policy convergence among the four countries. There were similar policy responses regarding fiscal\, macroeconomic\, incomes\, welfare and labor relations’ issues. Moreover\, despite the fact that the four countries had followed different paths to government reform and administrative modernization before the crisis\, they eventually converged towards similar policy responses regarding government organization and public administration. The observed convergence may be interpreted through external constraints imposed by Europe and international organizations and creditors and through the adoption of public management ideas\, which prevailed in international and domestic policy networks. Policy shifts were not evenly implemented across the four countries for reasons related to historical legacies of state-society relations and variations in political party systems. Such legacies may also help explain why Greece remained a reform laggard compared to the rest of South European countries.\n\nDimitri A.

Or perhaps less because of an additional wedge that distorts labor effort? Do concerns about inequality have implications for antitrust\, regulation\, trade\, and other policies that influence market power\, which contributes to inequality? This article addresses such questions using a model with heterogeneous abilities\, markups\, multiple sectors\, ownership that is a function of income\, allowance for any share of profits to be recoveries of investments (including rent-seeking efforts)\, and a nonlinear income tax. In this model\, proportional markups with no profit dissipation have no effect on the economy\, and a policy that reduces a nonproportional markup raises (lowers) welfare when it is higher (lower) than a weighted average of other markups. With proportional (partial or full) profit dissipation\, proportional markups are equivalent to a downward shift of the distribution of abilities\, and the welfare effect of correcting nonproportional markups associated with nonproportional profit dissipation now depends also on the degree of dissipation and how that is affected by the policy. In all cases\, optimal policies maximize consumer plus producer surplus\, without regard to a policy’s distributive effects on consumers and profits or how markups and income taxation distort labor effort.

Just in Time: The Chronopolitics of the Queue DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the politics of time as they play out through various problems of the queue—the organizational science and logistics of waiting lines. Drawing on ethnographic analysis of civility campaigns and customs inspection reform in contemporary China\, I will show how the queue offers insight into shared concerns about “quality control” over the flows of both global supply chains and the movement of populations. These concerns link the market metrics of timeliness as configured by the dominant global production model of JIT or Just-in-Time with social questions of expedience and justice in the other sense of being \"just\" in time. These entangled issues converge in what I will explain as a politics of tempo--that is\, as a question of pace and rhythm--in contradistinction to the conventional emphasis on \"speed\" or \"space-time compression\" in the analysis of global temporalities.\n\nBiosketch: Julie Y. Chu is a sociocultural anthropologist with interests in mobility and migration\, economy and value\, ritual life\, material culture\, media and technology\, and state regulatory regimes. Her book\, Cosmologies of Credit: Transnational Mobility and the Politics of Destination in China (Duke University Press\, 2010)\, received the 2011 Sharon Stephens Prize from the American Ethnological Society and the 2012 Clifford Geertz Prize from the Society for the Anthropology of Religion. Her current writing project is entitled The Hinge of Time: Infrastructure and Chronopolitics at China's Global Edge. Based on three years of fieldwork largely among Chinese customs inspectors and transnational migrant couriers\, this work will analyze various infrastructures in place (legal-rational\, financial\, cosmic\, piratical) for managing the temporal intensities and rhythms of people and things on the move between Southern China and the United States. A graduate of NYU’s Program in Culture and Media\, she is also currently completing video projects related to her fieldwork as well as developing a new ethnographic focus on Chinese soundscapes\, especially in relation to the changing qualities and valuations of the Chinese concept of renao (热闹\, a bustling scene\, social liveliness or\, literally\, “heat and noise”).

We have discovered the first two RNA demethylases\, FTO and ALKBH5\, which catalyze oxidative demethylation of the most prevalent modifications of mammalian messenger RNA (mRNA) and other nuclear RNA\, N6-methyladenosine (m6A). These findings indicate that reversible RNA modification could impact biological regulation analogous to the well-known reversible DNA and histone chemical modifications. We have also characterized proteins that selectively recognize m6A-modified mRNA and affect the translation status and lifetime of the target mRNA\, as well as molecular machines that deposit the m6A methylation on mRNA. Functional studies reveal m6A methylation as a critical mechanism to synchronize groups of transcripts for coordinated metabolism\, translation\, and decay\, allowing timely and coordinated protein synthesis and transcriptome switching during cell differentiation and development.

The dumpster-folk\, thriftstore-Americana duo\, consisting of Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler\, have been circulating around the country in their 16’ camper since 2015. They picked up a couple of actual strays along the way—two 100-lb. dogs\, Puddle & Magpie Mae—and have been making themselves at home in living rooms\, bars\, theaters\, and festivals across the country. The Rough & Tumble are collectors ... a new kind of collector: songwriting with illustration\, and arranging each song with a menagerie of instruments\, ranging from acoustic guitars to mailbox snares to a banjulele.\n\nThe Lucky Nows play dynamic\, high-energy Americana folk-rock with echoes of Isbell and Isakov and a bluesy center. Their music draws from every genre\, delivering a wide range of lyric-driven originals with intricate arrangements and gorgeous harmonies. If Steve Earle had a love-child with Lucinda Williams\, and that child was raised by Kris Delmhorst and Jeffrey Foucault\, and frequently visited by Shovels & Rope and the ghost of Townes Van Zandt\, their debut CD would sound eerily similar to The Lucky Nows' \"Rise.\" The Lucky Nows feature Detroiter Jen Cass on vocals.
