It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

PAZ PASTRANA (Director\, Producer\, Cinematographer)\; JASON DE LEÓN (Producer\, Advisor)\; JOHN A. DOERING-WHITE (Field Producer\, Advisor and Sound)\n---------\n\nRound-table: Exploring Border Security and Migration in 2019\nMARCH 29\, 12-2 PM\, ANGELL HALL\, AUDITORIUM B\n\nWe will discuss the realities currently experienced by migrants along the US/Mexico border and the history of America’s border security paradigm known as “Prevention Through Deterrence.” Given the heightened discussion in recent months about the supposed dangers posed by migrants and the potential role that a border wall would play in securing America’s southern geopolitical boundary\, this roundtable seeks to facilitate an open and frank discussion about what migration currently looks like\, who is migrating\, and why. In addition to facilitating a conversation about the lives of migrants\, our panelists will also discuss the important roles of history\, storytelling\, art\, and film in the telling and (re) presentation of nuanced information about America’s current border crisis. Of particular interest is how the panelists seek to tell new and impactful stories about about a social process that has a deep history and often overdetermined by simplistic tropes such as the “noble migrant” and “foreign invader.” \n\nModerator: DANIEL NEMSER\, Romance Languages and Literatures\n\nPanelists: JASON DE LEÓN\, Anthropology\, Director of Hostile Terrain Exhibition\; LUCY CAHILL\, Curator of Hostile Terrain Exhibition\; RAÚL O.

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.

What are the origins of this traditional claim to Sephardic exceptionalism? How were traditional claims enhanced or altered by the decline in Jewish-Christian relations in the Christian kingdoms of Iberia in the later Middle Ages and by the eventual expulsion of the Sephardim\, first from the Spanish kingdoms in 1492 and then from Portugal in 1496? “Sephardic Identities: Medieval and Early Modern” looks at Sephardic myths of identity from a diachronic perspective\, bringing together papers both on the origins of Sephardic exceptionalism within medieval Sephardic communities themselves and on the evolution of such notions under pressure from forced conversion and inquisition\, expulsion and diaspora\, and ghettoization and emancipation.\n\n\nThe front entrance of Rackham\, located on East Washington\, is accessible by stairs and ramp. There are elevators on both the east and wends ends of the lobby.

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:59301-14728326@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:20190124T101540 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T103000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Modeling rare and common genetic risk for schizophrenia using stem cells DESCRIPTION:2019 Cell & Developmental Biology Seminar Series\n\nHosted by:\nSue O’Shea\, Ph.D. \nRoman Giger\, Ph.D. UID:60227-14849130@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60227 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:20190222T144819 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Trademark Basics DESCRIPTION:The library is hosting a series of workshops from the US Patent & Trademark Office\, led by Managing Attorney Craig Morris from the Office of the Commissioner for Trademarks.\n\nThis workshop will cover how trademarks\, copyrights\, patents\, domain names\, and business name registrations differ.

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 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.

Drawing from anthropological and ethnographic research with Romani and Egyptian communities in Albania\, this talk features a critical discussion of social inequality with a particular focus on processes of racialization\, dehumanization\, and marginalization. In Albania\, Roms and Egyptians are often racialized as dorë e zezë or ‘black’ while Albanians are racialized as dorë e bardhë or ‘white’. Additionally\, many Roms and Egyptians in Albania frequently invoke the language of dehumanization to articulate their experiences with discrimination and non-belonging in Albania. Through an exploration of ethnographic cases\, this talk will examine local constructions of these racial identities in the post-communist period\, specifically as they pertain to housing segregation\, health\, labor\, and the environment. This talk will also shed light on the ways that Roms and Egyptians in Albania mobilize around issues of inequality to promote social justice. \n \nChelsi West Ohueri is a sociocultural anthropologist and postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Population Health at the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School. Her research interests include race and racialization\, belonging\, marginalization\, health disparities\, and global health. She has conducted extensive ethnographic research in Albania\, southeastern Europe\, and Central Texas. West Ohueri is a native of Jackson\, MS and completed her Ph.D. in sociocultural anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin in 2016. Her dissertation analyzed racialization and belonging in Romani\, Egyptian\, and Albanian communities of Albania. \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.

Sphere packing in a large number of dimensions maps to the modular bootstrap at large central charge\, which can be used to constrain quantum gravity in large AdS_3.

Our empirical strategy takes advantage of a parental-leave program in Denmark\, which offered any parent the opportunity to take up to one year's absence per child aged 0-8. Combining the policy variation with administrative employer-employee match data\, we document substantial program take-up among nurses\, who could not be replaced on net despite public education and immigration expansion efforts to mitigate the employment effects. We find that the parental leave program reduced hospital and nursing home nurse employment by 15 percent and 10 percent\, respectively. Using detailed patient health records\, we find detrimental effects on hospital-care delivery as indicated by a large increase in 30-day readmission rates among acute myocardial infarction patients. We find no evidence for an increase in hospital mortality. In nursing homes\, we estimate a large increase in mortality.

Lunch provided. Please RSVP to help us order food: https://goo.gl/forms/yS61hwJmjn88emi13.\n\nPlease join us for a book talk by Rucker C. Johnson (MA '97 Econ\, PhD '02 Econ)\, Associate Professor & NBER\, University of California\, Berkeley & Goldman School of Public Policy.\n\nAbout the book:\n\nWe are frequently told that school integration was a social experiment doomed from the start. But as Rucker C. Johnson demonstrates in Children of the Dream\, it was\, in fact\, a spectacular achievement. Drawing on longitudinal studies going back to the 1960s\, he shows that students who attended integrated and well-funded schools were more successful in life than those who did not — and this held true for children of all races.\n\nYet as a society we have given up on integration. Since the high point of integration in 1988\, we have regressed and segregation again prevails. Contending that integrated\, well-funded schools are the primary engine of social mobility\, Children of the Dream offers a radical new take on social policy. It is essential reading in our divided times.\n\nFor more info\, visit https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/rucker-c-johnson/children-of-the-dream.\n\nAbout the author:\n\nRucker C. Johnson is an Associate Professor in the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and faculty research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. As a labor economist who specializes in the economics of education\, Johnson’s work considers the role of poverty and inequality in affecting life chances.\n\nJohnson was one of 35 scholars to receive the prestigious 2017 Andrew Carnegie Fellowship. His research has appeared in leading academic journals\, featured in mainstream media outlets\, and he has been invited to give policy briefings at the White House and on Capitol Hill. His forthcoming book\, Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works\, will be published by Basic Books & the Russell Sage Foundation Press in April 2019.\n\nJohnson is committed to advance his scholarly agenda of fusing insights from multiple disciplinary perspectives to improve our understanding of the causes\, consequences\, and remedies of inequality in this country. Johnson earned his Ph.D. in economics at the University of Michigan. At UC-Berkeley (2004-present)\, he teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in applied econometrics and topical courses in race\, poverty & inequality.\n\nHosted by the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy and co-sponsored by Education Policy Initiative.

These data present an unprecedented opportunity to learn new mechanisms and ask unasked questions. Matrix factorization (MF) techniques can reveal low-dimensional structure from high-dimensional data to uncover new biological knowledge. The knowledge of gained from low dimensional features in training data can also be transferred to new datasets to relate disparate model systems and data modalities. We illustrate the power of these techniques for interpretation of high dimensional data through case studies in postmortem tissues from GTEx\, acquired therapeutic resistance in cancer\, and developmental biology.

The informational friction is not only the source of nominal rigidity but also an impediment to the coordination of production. The main lesson is that the optimal monetary policy does not target price stability\; instead\, it leans against the wind in the sense of targeting a negative relation between the nominal price level and real economic activity. This policy serves the goal of inducing the firms to utilize their information and to coordinate their decisions in the best possible manner. An additional contribution is the adaptation of the primal approach of the Ramsey literature to a setting with a rich form of informational friction.\n\njoint with George-Marios Angeletos UID:58617-14520000@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58617 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 201 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190325T092708 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Pizza with Profs DESCRIPTION:Come meet our English professors and learn more about Fall 2019 undergraduate English classes. \nSpeed panel format with Q & A session. \nCottage Inn pizza provided!

Yet such solicitations occur against the economic and political background of neoliberalism\, in which all citizens are asked to make sacrifices for the sake of economic health. How does one read\, then\, the discourse of Muslim assimilation in light of the psychological\, political\, and economic realities of neoliberalism? The article explores the transformation of the so called “Jewish question” into the contemporary concern with the “Muslim problem.” Drawing on Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer’s reflections on the affinities between capitalism and fascism (especially their reading of Odysseus)\, as well as Sigmund Freud’s reflections on narcissism and group psychology\, the article analyzes the figure of the sacrificial victim in the context of neoliberalism’s authoritarian tendencies\, and argues that sacrificial figuration allows us to think past the polarizations (West/rest\; Muslims/Trump supporters) of our contemporary historical moment.\n\nKeywords: Islam\, minority\, assimilation\, neoliberalism\, psychoanalysis\n\nSponsored by Critical Contemporary Studies and the Global Postcolonial Collective with generous contributions from the Nineteenth-Century Forum UID:54659-13629713@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/54659 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Contemporary Literature,Diaspora,immigration,Inclusion,Literature,Media,Politics,Theory LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3154 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190313T132406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T190000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Colonialism and Spatial Histories of Migration: the Caribbean Diaspora\" DESCRIPTION:This lecture asks how the spatial politics of migration have been inflected by histories of colonialism. Using the example of the Anglo-Caribbean island of Barbados and its majority African-descended population\, Osayimwese examines migration to the Global North as a response to the inequitable structure of plantation society. She shows that migration fundamentally transformed the structure of Barbadian society by enabling property acquisition through remittances. The remittance landscape that ensued\, however\, encompassed both land and houses on the island and property purchased in receiving countries\, which remain connected by particular Afro-Caribbean approaches to land ownership and modes of dwelling.\n\nItohan Osayimwese is an architectural and urban historian. She is assistant professor of history of art and architecture at Brown University. She engages with theories of modernity\, postcoloniality\, and globalization to analyze German colonial architecture\, urban design\, and visual culture\; modern architecture in Germany\; African and African diaspora material cultural histories\; and the architecture of development in Africa. Another research interest is the architectural and urban lives of religious cults. She received a BA from Bryn Mawr College\, an M.Arch. from Rice University\, then a master’s and PhD in the history of architecture from the University of Michigan A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.

Al-Ghazālī and the Foundations of Medieval Islamic Ontology\, Epistemology\, and Scientific Inquiry DESCRIPTION:Medieval Muslim scientists trace most of their foundational ontological and epistemological underpinnings to Al-Ghazālī’s (1058-1111 CE) contribution in bridging the gap between scholastic theology (kalām) and scientific inquiry and experimentation. In doing so\, Al-Ghazālī draws on two related subdomains: philology and exegesis. This talk sheds some light on Al-Ghazālī's holistic rational view which informed Medieval Islamic ontology\, epistemology\, and the scientific method\, falling at the nexus of language\, scholastic theology\, Qur’anic hermeneutics\, and the philosophy of science. Al-Ghazālī’s thought has implications for positivism and post-positivism\, including the rejection of the behavioral psychology view of knowing and learning through mere habituation. \n \nMohammad T. Alhawary is Professor of Arabic Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition. In addition to his research in applied linguistics\, his interests lie in the Medieval Arabic grammatical tradition and its interactions with neighboring disciplines such as exegesis\, jurisprudence\, philosophy\, and scholastic theology. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to IslamicStudies@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast—dynamic and emotionally uplifting. Alternating between upbeat rock numbers with sing-along choruses and slower\, more introspective alt pop songs\, the band plays progressive and lyrically driven music that’s strongly rooted in Celtic tradition—from the storytelling to the bagpipes.

Mahler wrote the Sixth Symphony during a particularly happy time\, yet this monumental work seems to portray a vision of tragic events that soon followed. It juxtaposes some of the composer’s most gripping and beautiful music.\n\nPROGRAM: Mahler- Symphony No. 6 UID:61129-15038527@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61129 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190327T180015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T210000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Wed@8: Small Group Discussion on Life and Faith DESCRIPTION:An open small group discussion around issues of life and faith.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, the University of Michigan Library\, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR)\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\n  UID:60521-14903602@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60521 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Books,Library LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
