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:59301-14728318@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:20190227T145015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T170000 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.

The loss of these functions can have devastating implications on the quality of one’s life\, interfering with activities of daily living related to walking\, bladder and bowel control\, trunk stability\, and arm and hand function. Current approaches used to help improve and restore mobility require residual movement to control\, which can be unintuitive and inoperative by individuals with higher level cervical injuries. In order to develop technology used by individuals of all levels of injury\, it is necessary to generate control signals directly from the brain. This thesis is intended to address the clinical limitations of implantable neural recording systems\, and thus lay the foundation for the development of a design and safety profile for a fully implantable intracortical system for motor restoration.\n\nWe first present the design and testing of a 96-channel neural recording device used to mate with an existing functional electrical stimulation (FES) system in order to facilitate brain-controlled FES. By extracting signal power within a narrow frequency bandwidth and reducing overhead processer operations\, a 25% power reduction is achieved. This establishes the feasibility for an implantable system and enables the integration of the neural recording device with implantable FES system. The specifications of this platform can be used as a guide to develop further application specific modules and dramatically accelerate the overall process to a clinically viable system.\n\nWith a functional device\, the next step is to move towards a clinical trial. Here we investigate the potential safety risks of future modular\, implantable neuroprosthetic systems. A systematic review of 240 articles was used to identify and quantitatively summarize the hardware-related complications of the most established intracranial clinical system\, deep brain stimulation\, and the most widespread experimental human intracranial system\, the NeuroPort\, including the Utah microelectrode array. The safety and longevity data collected here will be used to better inform future device and clinical trial design and satisfy regulatory requirements.\n\nThe stability and longevity of the Utah array are critical factors for determining whether the clinical benefit outweighs the risk for potential users. We investigate the biological adverse response to the insertion of the Utah array in a rhesus macaque. We examined the health and density of neurons around the shanks of the array in comparison to control brain. Non-human primate animal models allow us to further examine the effects of the implantation of the Utah array on neural tissue\, which cannot be done with humans. Information gained through this will continue to increase the pool of safety data for the Utah array and emerging intracranial devices.\n\nOverall\, we developed a neural recording device to be used for brain-controlled FES and examined the potential safety concerns reported in the human literature and experimentally using non-human primates. These results represent significant progress towards a clinically-viable system for motor restoration in people suffering from spinal cord injury.\n\nChair: Cindy Chestek UID:62024-15276098@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62024 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical engineering,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 10 - G065 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190315T162002 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhD Defense: Crystal Green DESCRIPTION:Title: Automated Deformable Mapping Methods to Relate Corresponding Lesions in 3D X-ray and 3D Ultrasound Breast Images\n\nCo-Chair: Prof. Mitchell Goodsitt\nCo-Chair: Prof. Alex Bielajew UID:62197-15311072@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62197 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dissertation,Energy,Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences LOCATION:Lurie Robert H.

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:60543-14908140@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:20190214T094704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with CPS faculty Christopher Fariss DESCRIPTION:Dr. Fariss is excited to host a weekly Tuesday morning hackerspace from February 12 until April 23. Dr. Fariss uses computational methods and the statistical program R to study why governments around the world torture\, maim\, and kill individuals within their jurisdiction\, and the processes monitors use to observe and document these abuses. Other research projects cover a broad array of themes but share a focus on computationally intensive methods\, research design\, and the analysis of data at a massive scale. \n\nThis weekly meeting with Dr. Fariss is for those with an interest in the R statistical programming language. Both beginners and experienced users are invited to attend. Dr. Fariss plans to introduce mostly introductory material during these sessions but will also cover Bayesian modeling in R and STAN.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate\, hackers need to bring their own laptops and\, ideally\, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

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.

A part of authentic leadership is committing to a purpose that helps us to deepen our impact. Your purpose springs from your identity and is the essence of who you are. To figure out who you are in such a world\, let alone “be nobody but yourself\,” is indeed hard work. This workshop will help you uncover what your ultimate purpose is and learn how to commit to it in times of uncertainty. This workshop is powered by the Sanger Leadership Center. \n\nRegistration is required by 4/4\, at: https://goo.gl/forms/1jfl8uOPq6OuxaiB3\n\nSponsored by the CoE Office of Student Affairs.

How has the role or impact of poetry changed? What’s most vital in a poet’s education? How can we rethink and reclaim publishing? How we can bridge the divides between different schools of poetry? How can we reconcile the ivory tower and the community center? What can poetry do in our communities? What good books are we reading (songs are we singing\, art are we seeing)? What do we love? How can we brave joy?\n\nAbout the presenters:\n\nMentored by poet Langston Hughes\, Naomi Long Madgett moved to Detroit in 1946. In the 1960s\, she joined a group of African American writers who met regularly at Boone House\, including Margaret Danner\, Dudley Randall and Oliver LaGrone. Madgett was named Detroit poet laureate in 2001. In her poetry\, influenced by the work of Emily Dickinson\, John Keats\, and Langston Hughes\, Madgett often engages themes of civil rights and African American spirituality. She is the author of numerous collections of poetry\, including One and the Many (1956)\, Exits and Entrances (1978)\, and Octavia and Other Poems (1988\, reissued and expanded in 2002). In 1972\, Madgett founded Lotus Press. She edited the anthology Adam of Ifé: Black Women in Praise of Black Men (1992)\, and her own work was included in the anthologies The Poetry of the Negro\, 1746–1949 (1949\, edited by Langston Hughes) and Ten: Anthology of Detroit Poets (1968\, edited by Oliver LaGrone). A selection of her papers\, documenting her poetry career and the history of Lotus Press\, is held by the University of Michigan’s Special Collections Library.\n\nGabrielle Civil is a black feminist performance artist\, originally from Detroit\, MI. She has premiered fifty original solo and collaborative performance works around the world. Signature themes included race\, body\, art\, politics\, grief\, and desire. Since 2014\, she has been performing “Say My Name” (an action for 270 abducted Nigerian girls)” as an act of embodied remembering. She is the author of Swallow the Fish and Tourist Art (with Vladimir Cybil Charlier). She currently teaches Creative Writing and Critical Studies at the California Institute of the Arts. The aim of her work is to open up space.Experiments in Joy is forthcoming from CCM Press.

These future possibilities present new challenges in aircraft design and optimization that cannot be fully understood through computational methods alone. Just as analytical solutions from thin airfoil theory\, lifting-line theory\, slender body theory\, and others formed the foundation of aircraft design methods in the past century\, similar solutions must be obtained to fully understand relationships between morphing aircraft parameters and aircraft performance. This is increasingly important as the number of design variables and geometries increase with increasing morphing capability. Example methods and solutions will be presented that demonstrate how such analytical solutions can be obtained and employed in the design of future morphing aircraft.\n\n \n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nDoug Hunsaker is an assistant professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at Utah State University. Before joining the faculty in 2016\, he worked for 4 years in industry\, including work for Scaled Composites on the Stratolaunch and SpaceShipTwo programs\, as well as consulting for multiple drone companies. Doug’s research focus is on analytical and low-fidelity methods for aircraft design and optimization\, with an emphasis on subsonic and supersonic morphing aircraft. He currently has grants with the Air Force Research Lab\, Office of Naval Research\, and NASA to develop and explore relationships of morphing parameters to aircraft performance and control. Doug also has a strong interest in bio-inspired flight.

On the one hand\, most historians (and biologists) today do not believe that biological race exists. On the other hand\, they do not doubt that racial concepts played powerful roles in some (but not all!) periods in the past. How can we tell when a concept we encounter in the past is “racial”? And what do the racial concepts of one period in the past have to do with those of another? Can we speak of “the origins of race” in any particular period or place? These are the questions addressed in this talk\, which focuses on times and places in which conversion from Judaism to Christianity or Islam has produced the idea that religious characteristics are biologically reproduced.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

The lecture previews Shah's larger upcoming book project\, Refusal to Eat\, which investigates the tenacious practice of hunger strikes as it grew as a potent transnational idiom of 20th and 21st century political defiance. Following his earlier work\, Stranger Intimacy\, Shah examines these practices through the lenses of intimacy\, affect and the material cultures of bodily defiance.\n\nBio: \nNayan Shah is Professor of History and American Studies & Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. His research examines historical struggles over bodies\, space\, and the exercise of state power from the mid-19th to the 21st century. Shah is the author of two award-winning books -- Stranger Intimacy: Contesting Race\, Sexuality and the Law in the North American West (2011) and Contagious Divides: Epidemics and Race in San Francisco’s Chinatown (2001). \n\nShah's new project\, Refusal to Eat\, explores the transnational history of mass hunger strikes\, and political struggle and medical ethical crises through 20th century and contemporary case studies drawn from U.S. and British suffrage activists\, Irish Republicans\, Bengali Revolutionaries\, Japanese American Internees\, South African anti-apartheid activists\, Guantanamo prisoners\, and refugees in Australia\, the United States\, and Europe. \n\nGraduate Student lunch also available in afternoon.

Nitrogen-centered radical applications remain underexplored due to the lack of convenient methods for their generation. Recent advances have improved access to nitrogen-centered radicals through photoredox-mediated oxidation of two such directing groups: amides and sulfonamides. Guided by this approach\, we hypothesized that alcohols\, masked as sulfamate esters\, and amines\, masked as sulfamides\, could engage in photoredox-mediated oxidation to furnish nitrogen-centered radicals that could guide C–H functionalization reactions. \nMoreover\, our directed technology has been inspired by one of the most reliable and powerful known reactions to guide C–H functionalization reactions: the Hofmann–Löffler–Freytag (HLF) reaction\, which uses amines or amides as directing groups. Like many of the most robust radical-mediated technologies to direct the activation of tertiary and secondary centers\, the HLF reaction is guided through 1\,5-hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) processes\, which proceeds through a kinetically-favorable six-membered ring transition state. By contrast\, few reports describe 1\,6-HAT with a traceless linker\, such as an alcohol masked as a sulfamate ester or an amine masked as a sulfamide\, and there are no general strategies to enable masked alcohols or amines to direct functionalization of aliphatic ?-C(sp3)–H centers. This talk will outline this novel strategy to harness alcohols and amines to replace C–H bonds at ?-C(sp3)–H centers\, which are not generally accessible to directed functionalization. We will demonstrate that C–H abstraction can be robustly coupled with varied functionalization reactions. This talk will highlight one of the first generalizable synthetic strategies to functionalize ?-C(sp3)–H bonds based on masked alcohols or amines\, to push the boundaries of organic chemistry at a fundamental level and benefits drug discovery.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJennifer Roizen (Duke University) UID:51507-12126782@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51507 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190319T181621 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | \"Spintronic\" Quantum Transport\, Chemistry and Interferometry in an atomic BEC DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will describe our experiments studying spin-dependent quantum transport\, chemistry and interferometry in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of ultracold (87Rb) atoms subject to optically-generated “synthetic” spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We demonstrate spin-resolved atomic beam splitters and two-pathway interferometers based on tunable Landau-Zener transitions in the energy-momentum space (synthetic band structures generated by the SOC as well as Floquet-engineering) [1]. We also demonstrate a new approach of quantum control of (photo) chemical reactions (photoassociation of molecules from atoms) --- a “quantum chemistry interferometry” --- by preparing reactants in (spin) quantum superposition states and interfering multiple reaction pathways [2]. By performing a “quantum quench” in a SOC BEC\, we induce head-on collisions between two spinor BECs and study spin transport and how it is affected by SOC\, revealing rich phenomena arising from the interplay between quantum interference and many-body interactions [3]. Time permitting\, I may discuss our recent realization of a (bosonic) topological state with band crossings protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry [4]\, by creating a “synthetic” cylinder with combined physical and synthetic dimensions and also a synthetic radial magnetic flux\, where the BEC acquires an emergent crystalline order and exhibits quantum transport (Bloch oscillations) mimicking motion on a Mobius strip in energy-momentum space (band structure). Our experimental system can be a rich playground to study physics of interests to AMO physics\, quantum chemistry\, condensed matter physics\, and even high energy physics.\n\nRefs:\n[1] A.

The Truth about Lies in International Relations: Reflections on the Media in Russia and Beyond DESCRIPTION:Lots of countries lie. \n\nSome call it “winning hearts and minds\,” others call it “strategic communications\,” still others call it “softening the battlefield.” However it’s described\, propaganda is a key component of international relations\, a tool employed both by diplomats and warriors. Russia has used propaganda since the 1917 Russian Revolution both to mold the minds of its own citizens and to spread the gospel of Marxism-Leninism around the world. Today’s Russia uses a well-honed media strategy to craft public opinion at home—and to promote the country’s public image abroad.\n\nBut the Kremlin also uses propaganda—now turbo-charged by digital advances like artificial intelligence\, machine learning and big-data analytics—as a tool of war\, a less-costly form of conflict than shedding blood\, to undermine and weaken foes.\n\nJill Dougherty\, former CNN Moscow Bureau Chief\, examines how Russia uses information\, and disinformation\, to achieve its strategic objectives.\n\nJill Dougherty served as CNN correspondent for three decades\, reporting from more than 50 countries. She is a Global Fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington\, D.C. and a CNN Contributor who provides expert commentary on Russia and the post-Soviet region. Ms. Dougherty joined CNN in 1983\, and was appointed Moscow Bureau Chief in 1997. During nearly a decade in that post\, she covered the presidencies of Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin\, Russia's post-Soviet economic transition\, terrorist attacks\, the conflict in Chechnya\, Georgia's Rose Revolution and Ukraine's Orange Revolution. After a long career with CNN\, Ms. Dougherty pursued academic interests\, most recently as a Distinguished Visiting Practitioner at the University of Washington’s Evans School of Public Policy and Governance. An alumna of the University of Michigan\, she has a B.A. in Slavic languages and literature\, a certificate of language study from Leningrad State University\, and a master’s degree from Georgetown University. In addition to writing for CNN.com\, her articles on international issues have appeared in the “Washington Post\,” \"Huffington Post\,” and “The Atlantic\,” among other publications. Jill Dougherty is also a member of track-two diplomatic initiatives seeking to improve the U.S.-Russia relationship. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Ellen Muehlberger is Associate Professor of Christianity in late antiquity in the departments of Middle East Studies and History at the University of Michigan\, where she teaches graduate and undergraduate courses on ancient history\, contemporary religious traditions\, scholarly methods\, and Coptic and Syriac language. Muehlberger has held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies.

You can hear instructors from various disciplines describe how they handle the same challenges student writers face\, from finding a thesis to managing deadlines. Professors will also discuss what they want from student writers in their courses\, and will take questions put forth by students and by other members of the University community. If there's anything you've ever wanted to ask a professor about writing\, Writer to Writer gives you the chance.
