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. The assembly hall is on the fourth floor.\nIf you have a disability that requires an accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at judaicstudies@umich.edu or 734-763-9047.

How does it feel to look ‘critically’ now?” \n\nNow in its third year\, Critical Visualities has grown into a major national conference\, drawing top faculty from across the country in the fields of American studies\, African American studies\, visual culture studies\, performance studies\, media studies\, and literary studies. Designed to offer the University of Michigan community an unparalleled opportunity to engage with these scholars in an unusually intimate setting\, Critical Visualities incites new insights\, new questions\, and new collaborations for presenters and audience members alike.\n\nAs always\, Critical Visualities is particularly attune to the ways in which our interdisciplinary work enables us to engage with current events marked by feelings of shock and urgency about ongoing racial injustice and gendered violence.\n\nSpeakers include: Sarah Bay-Cheng (Bowdoin)\; Kimberly Juanita Brown (Mt.

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.

His book\, Struggling to Define a Nation: American Music and the Twentieth Century\, received the Irving Lowens Memorial Book Award from the Society for American Music. He also served as editor-in-chief for an award-winning reference work\, The Grove Dictionary of American Music\, second edition. \n\nWhat is musical humor? How can a sound be funny? What makes the combination of music and humor distinctive and appealing? Drawing on comic examples across the history of American music\, this presentation examines the rich relationship between music and humor\, first by delving into how composers and musicians produce humor through purely musical means and then by exploring how music generates special comic effects in combination with lyrics\, staging\, performance\, film\, and new forms of media. \n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series. The subject is Humor\, Comedy\, and Laughter in Everyday Life and Beyond. The next lecture series will start April 4\, 2019. The subject is: Changing Gender Roles.

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.

Archaeology is well equipped to study history as sequences of transformative events linked together loosely by the thread of time\, or as a continuous process of everyday life where time serves as a function of cultural persistence. On a macro-scale the sweeping reconfiguration of human-material relations marked by events and interpreted as cultural change have been at the center of archaeological practice since the first descriptions of ‘cultures’ as convenient analytical and spatio-temporal units of analysis. Within narratives of everyday life\, the emphasis shifted to the mundane\, to the multivocality and messiness of social existence. Corresponding to the decreasing scale of analysis and interpretive context\, the struggle became to present the ways in which people’s repetitive day-to-day practices mattered and figured into broad-scale historical events. In my current project\, I attempt to redirect focus from easily discernible events to political discourse\, to the processes that lead up to change and to the ways in which agency constitutes the textur history. Through the analysis of mortuary practice\, I will present a case study exploring the ways in which members of the Bronze Age Kajászó community engaged in political action surrounding change and persistence in the wake of some momentous transformations.

In his lab\, Dr. Sadovsky utilizes molecular and cellular approaches to decipher mechanisms underlying placental development\, differentiation\, and response to injury. Using cultured primary human placental cells\, genetically-altered mice\, and placental samples from human pregnancies\, his lab examines molecular mechanisms underlying trophoblast response to diverse stressors that adversely influence the homeostatic balance between cell injury and adaptation. Dr. Sadovsky’s research assesses how these stressors contribute to placental dysfunction and fetal growth restriction (FGR)\, which predispose to childhood neurodevelopmental dysfunction and adult metabolic syndrome.

Unfortunately\, it appears challenging to compute DNE limits that simultaneously maintain the system flexibility and incorporate a large portion of the available renewable energy at the minimum cost. In addition\, it is often challenging to accurately estimate the joint probability distribution of the renewable energy. In this paper\, we propose a two-stage distributionally robust optimization model that co-optimizes the power dispatch and the DNE limits\, by adopting an affinely adjustable power re-dispatch and an adjustable joint chance constraint that measures the renewable utilization. Notably\, this model admits a second-order conic reformulation that can be efficiently solved by the commercial solvers (e.g.\, MOSEK). We conduct case studies based on large-size test instances to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and analyze the trade-off among the system flexibility\, the renewable utilization\, and the dispatch cost.\n\nBio:\nBiosketch: Ruiwei Jiang is an Assistant Professor of Industrial & Operations Engineering in the University of Michigan.

Yet\, this powerful technology relies on extremely low power\, vulnerable signals traversing a vast space to reach receivers on the Earth surface or near-Earth space environments. Many complex elements interfere with the signals along their propagation path\, including plasma in the upper atmosphere\, water vapor in the lower troposphere\, as well as physical objects and electromagnetic sources in the user environment. These nuisance factors degrade and limit navigation systems performance. Understanding their effects on navigation signals is the pre-requisite for developing robust navigation technologies that can mitigate these elements impact. Moreover\, these effects enable satellite navigation signals to function as signals-of-opportunity for low cost\, distributed\, passive sensing of our space and local environments. This presentation will first discuss our efforts in developing a worldwide network of software-defined sensors to capture and characterize the effects of the space environment on satellite navigation signals. Based on findings obtained through these sensor networks\, we designed and developed a library of novel algorithms that have demonstrated the capability to mitigate these effects. Some of these algorithms will be highlighted in this presentation. Finally\, I will present case studies demonstrating the potential powerful applications of the satellite navigation sensor network for environmental monitoring.\n\n\nDr. Jade Morton is a Professor at the Ann and H.

Prior to joining CU in 2017\, she was an electrical engineering professor at Colorado State University and Miami University\, a full-time mother\, and a post-doc research fellow at the University of Michigan. Dr. Morton’s research interests lie at the intersection of satellite navigation technologies and remote sensing of the Earth’s space environment\, atmosphere\, and surface. She is the President of the US Institute of Navigation (ION) and a fellow of IEEE and ION.

He argues for this latter claim by treating the city as analogous to the natural\, organic body of a human being: since natural wholes such human bodies are prior to parts and since their parts can no longer perform their function when separated from the functionally complex whole to which they belong\, the same must be true for cities and their parts. And while Aristotle seems to resist the view that cities are themselves natural substances (ultimately\, cities that exist for the sake of living well are the product of the art of lawgiving)\, he frequently naturalizes the city and resorts to analogies between cities and human/animal bodies in order to draw out and explain important features about the city or its constitution\, which he designates as ‘a kind of life of the city’. My purpose in this paper to specify the heuristic and explanatory uses of these analogies between cities and natural\, living bodies. I will first discuss a few relatively innocent uses of this kind of analogy before attempting to offer an interpretation of a more complicated passage in Politics IV 4 in which Aristotle suggests that one can determine the species of cities in exactly the same way as one would compile a complete list of species of animals.

These restricted notations provide good documentation support\, but only provide limited support for semantic analysis. These notations are generally not rich enough to unambiguously specify the requirements of safety-critical systems that\, for example\, involve complex numerical computations or that interact with the physical environment. Examples of these safety-critical systems are autonomous vehicles such as unmanned aircraft systems. This talk advocates the use of expressive formal logics\, such as higher-order logic\, to specify the operational and functional requirement of unmanned systems and to prove the correctness of these requirements. Semantic analysis of requirements written in higher-order logic is supported through the use of interactive theorem provers. Formal models serve as ideal reference implementations of functional requirements. Hence\, formal logics enable software validation techniques where software implementations can be checked against functional requirements in a mechanical way. The Formal Methods group in the Safety-Critical Avionics Systems Branch at NASA Langley Research Center has conducted research on the development and application of formal verification techniques to safety-critical applications of interest to NASA for more than 30 years. This talk illustrates the use of formal methods at NASA Langley Research Center in the development of highly-assured autonomous unmanned aircraft systems. \n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nDr. Cesar Munoz is a senior research computer scientist at the NASA Langley Research Center\, where he leads the Formal Methods Team. Dr. Munoz's primary research interest is the development of formal methods technology for the design\, verification\, and implementation of safety-critical aerospace systems. Dr. Munoz has contributed to the development of highly-assured software for the next generation of air traffic management concepts developed at NASA\, including autonomous unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). In particular\, Dr. Munoz is the main developer of DAIDALUS (Detect and Avoid Alerting Logic for Unmanned\nSystems)\, a software library selected by RTCA SC-228 to be the reference implementation of detect and avoid minimum operational performance standards for UAS included in DO-365. Dr. Munoz is an internationally recognized expert on the computer science field of Formal Methods and has made several contributions to the development of interactive theorem proving technology for industrial\napplications. Prior to joining NASA in 2009\, Dr. Munoz was a Research Fellow at the National Institute of Aerospace. He got his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from University of Paris 7\, France\, in 1997.

While technology and science has contributed to advancing Precision Medicine at an accelerated pace\, regulatory bodies have needed to quickly adapt to address the new challenges presented by these novel scientific applications. In addition to ensuring patient safety\, regulatory bodies are heralding enhanced therapeutic effectiveness delivered by new targeted therapies and devices by offering breakthrough designations and expedited regulatory pathways. A key development that is front and center of Precision Medicine is the companion diagnostic to guide patient therapy. Drug and diagnostic manufacturers must collaborate effectively to overcome significant hurdles to identify and co-develop a companion diagnostic which is then contemporaneously approved with its corresponding drug product. This presentation will introduce regulatory concepts affiliated with co-development of drug and diagnostic\, as well as outline the regulatory challenges in realizing Precision Medicine.

Diaspora as Counter Response: Human Rights Stories and Violence Against Women DESCRIPTION:There is no doubt that the Islamists’ rise to power in the 1980s has put Sudan at the center of transnational media attention. Consequently\, the worldwide resurgence of conservatism and right wing politics reanimated a politics of fear and reproduced new clashing discourses over identity\, ethnicity\, and citizenship. Within these contexts\, Amal Hassan Fadlalla examines how the production and circulation of violence narratives about Sudan’s conflicts branded humanity in a neoconservative fashion and shaped the practices of Sudanese activists and their allies in the United States\, the Sudans\, and online. In many temporary and newly formed humanitarian publics\, she argues\, the ethno-gendered representation of Sudanese women (and men) as victims and survivors is transformed into powerful narratives that won them the status of role models within the human rights and humanitarian fields. These representations reproduced Sudanese ethnic divisions and racial politics in new forms in the diaspora and hardened existing gender and class divisions. In response\, many secular Sudanese in the United States and in the Sudan created their own platforms to respond to these new forms of exclusions. These tensions and debates\, Fadlalla argues\, highlight the post-Cold War politics and confrontations among different national and transnational actors over the meanings of rights\, sovereignty\, and global citizenship. \n \nThis talk is based on Amal Hassan Fadlalla’s newly released book “Branding Humanity: Competing Narratives of Rights\, Violence\, and Global Citizenship\,” in which the author treats Sudan—a dispersed nation due to sixty years of violent conflicts—as a site for examining these historical shifts and tensions before the country’s division into two nations states in 2011. \n \nAmal Hassan Fadlalla is Associate Professor of Anthropology\, Women’s Studies\, and Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Her research interests and teaching focus on global issues and perspectives related to gender\, health\, reproduction\, diaspora\, transnationalism\, population\, development\, and human rights and humanitarianism. She holds a B.Sc. and Masters degree in Anthropology from the University of Khartoum\, Sudan\, and a PhD from Northwestern University\, United States. \n \nShe is the author of \"Branding Humanity: Competing Narratives of Rights\, Violence and Global Citizenship\" (Stanford: Stanford University Press\, 2018) and \"Embodying Honor: Fertility\, Foreignness\, and Regeneration in Eastern Sudan\" (Madison: The University of Wisconsin Press\, 2007).

Police supervisors offer their protection to police agents so that agents can collect bribes. In exchange\, police agents must escort a predetermined quota of drivers to their supervisors for the supervisor to take bribes\, and occasionally make monetary transfers to the supervisor. 99% of supervisors’ income and 86% of police agents’ income is financed through hierarchical corruption\, involving the quota system and institutionalized toll fees for police agents. We then use a simple model to explain this organizational form. Based on this model\, we establish three results. First\, consistent with maximization of corrupt revenue for supervisors\, higher quotas are observed in locations where bribe taking by supervisors is relatively more effective\, which amplifies mis-allocation of drivers’ rights to circulate. Second\, through taxation of supervisors\, the adjustment of the hierarchy reduces in half the effect of experimental increases in police agents’ income\, which otherwise induce absenteeism\, traffic congestion\, and decrease harassment of drivers. Third\, hierarchical corruption negatively affects social welfare. Experimentally decreasing the quotas decreases traffic congestion and harassment of drivers\, and leaves police agent effort at collecting private bribes unaffected which\, as suggested by the model\, implies quotas reduce social welfare. These results have two implications. First\, while agents’ revenues from bribes incentivize harassment\, they also incentivize socially productive effort and decrease congestion. Second\, supervisor-agent corrupt strategic interaction has a negative externality on social welfare that was previously ignored.

DESCRIPTION:The mammalian skull performs multiple functions\, including feeding and protecting the brain and sensory organs. Dietary demands are considered a major driver of the evolution of skull morphology in mammals\, but there have been few quantitative tests of the impact of feeding versus other functions on skull morphological diversification across whole mammalian orders. Bats (Order Chiroptera) are an ideal group to investigate this topic because they represent 20% of all mammals\, are highly diverse in terms of cranial morphology\, and encompass nearly the full spectrum of mammal diets and sensory ecologies. In this seminar\, I will explore whether and how the macroevolution of skull shape is related to feeding strategies in bats\, or if other life history traits and behaviors can explain their cranial diversity. I will present results from our current geometric morphometric and phylogenetic comparative analyses\, which are based on 3D representations of bat skulls and jaw muscles generated via micro-CT scanning. I will further discuss these results in the context of behavioral plasticity and performance outputs in a clade of bats that has adaptively radiated.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/Xt8LXqoU8-Q UID:49668-11487553@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49668 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190308T102738 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190328T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190328T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:GradSWE Winter Networking Mixer DESCRIPTION:Join GradSWE for its Winter Networking Mixer where you will be able to interact with faculty from the College of Engineering and industry professionals!

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.

This contest will be judged by a panel of faculty members. The entries will be identified only by the student’s university ID number\, making the judging anonymous. There will be monetary prizes of $150 for first place\, $125 for second place\, and $100 for third place!\n\nParticipants: All undergraduate University of Michigan students currently enrolled in a German course or who are registered as a German major or minor are welcome to participate.\n\nRegistration: All contest participants are required to register for the contest by 5 p.m. on Monday\, March 25! To register contact Andrew Mills: ajmills@umich.edu.\n\nAlternative times: If students can demonstrate that they cannot make the contest time due to their class schedule or work schedule constraints\, an alternative time and location can be arranged. This alternative time must be arranged and confirmed before 5 p.m. on Monday\, March 25\, and must take place at some point during the day of Thursday\, March 28.\n\nContest Rules: The contest will be held under the same conditions used by the American Translators Association (ATA) for its certification exam. Students will have approximately 70 minutes to translate a text by hand that will be provided for them. The translation will be from German to English. The contest will be held in “open book” format. Students will not have access to the internet\, but may bring and use as many hardback or paperback dictionaries as they wish. All students receive the same text\, which will be approximately 225-275 words in length. The contest must be written in (dark) pencil capable of being photo-copied for our judges. Students must bring their own pencils. Paper will be provided.\n\nThe text to be translated will be “general” in nature. This text expresses a view\, sets forth an argument\, or presents an idea or situation. Examples include: a newspaper article\, an essay\, or a passage from a non-fiction book. The contest passage is chosen in such a way as to avoid highly specialized terminology requiring research. There are\, however\, terminology challenges in the text\, and knowledge of German culture\, society\, and history often is necessary for contestants to excel. \n\nChallenge yourself! The worst that could happen is you discover how things stand with your translation skills. The best thing that could happen: you win some money!

Both show the advantages of ultrafast nonlinear IR spectroscopic technique to decipher hidden physics of exotic molecular materials. \n2D IR of Molecular Polaritons. Molecular vibrational polaritons\, hybrid half-light\, half-matter quasiparticles\, are studied using ultrafast coherent 2D IR spectroscopy. Molecular vibrational-polaritons are anticipated to open opportunities for new photonic and molecular phenomena. Many of these developments hinge on fundamental understanding of physical properties of molecular vibrational polaritons. Using 2D IR spectroscopy to study vibrational-polaritons\, we obtained results that challenge and advance both polariton and spectroscopy fields\, which invokes new development of theory for the spectroscopy\, observation of new nonlinear optical effects and unexpected responses from hidden dark states These results will have significant implications in novel infrared photonic devices\, lasing\, molecular quantum simulation\, as well as new chemistry by tailoring potential energy landscapes. \nHeterogeneous water dynamics templated by self-assembled materials. We report observations of mesoscopically homogeneous but macroscopically heterogenous water dynamics in self-assembled materials by a new\, spatially resolved infrared (IR) pump vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) probe microscope. We found that the strong hydrogen-bond interactions between host molecules and nearby water not only template nearby water networks to adopt the chirality of self-assembled materials\, but also induce resonant energy transfer from ?-CD to nearby water\, which is heterogeneous among domains\, but uniform within domains. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nWei Xiong (UC-San Diego) UID:57406-14186925@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57406 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190320T151120 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190328T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190328T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Whither the map collection: keeping paper maps relevant in a digital age DESCRIPTION:As digital mapping continues to prevail\, library staff become less connected to the physical collections they once managed and these collections are repeated targets for dramatic weeding projects\, meant to liberate highly sought after space.

How\, it asks\, might music’s large-scale form relate to its emotional content? Recent work on musical grammar\, drawing on cognitive linguistics\, understands musical schemas as constructions that pair form and function (Gjerdingen & Bourne 2015\; Zbikowski 2017). In this account\, syntax is not neutral\; instead\, syntax and semantics—the how and why of communication—are interrelated at all levels. This research mainly emphasizes local features\, which fit the temporal constraints of working memory. And some scholars argue that schemas are not relevant to extended formal patterns. For example\, David Huron (2006\, 208) claims that sonata form and rondo form “almost certainly do not evoke different listening schemas.” In the late eighteenth century\, however\, rondos were often identified with a certain character or mood. Here I will discuss a new empirical project on instrumental rondos\, composed between 1770 and 1799. Our corpus analysis and psychological experiments suggest that movements in sonata and rondo form have distinct affective tendencies. The project extends earlier research on acoustic cues for emotion in music and speech\, and it raises questions about how listeners categorize sonata and rondo movements. Finally\, I will interpret these results—and theories of musical grammar more generally—in phenomenological terms. Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s work on “institution” is particularly suggestive here\, connecting musical form and emotion with history\, sociality\, and human embodiment.

Without imposing a future\, what political\, cultural and social questions emerge when we center dignity in thinking beyond solidarity? Specifically with regards to the complimentary\, contested and contradictory relationships between the university and the prison\, who produces and benefits from the creation and production of knowledge? What is considered knowledge? \n\nWhat is the role of Ethnic Studies in how we imagine and create a society not centered and organized around the idea that vengeance is justice\, that punishment should only mean exile and imprisonment? What is the role of the university in the after-life of incarceration and the after-life of detention\, for the communities that students come from\, or in relation to policy or pedagogy? How does/can the university reproduce and undue the prison as a total institution?

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:60521-14903603@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
