Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world. In contrast with the ubiquitous and mundane\, successes in innovation and entrepreneurship represent the exciting and inspiring aspects of nuclear science and technology that will energize those students in attendance.

To incentivise trustworthiness\, defaulters should be punished by temporary exclusion. However\, it is profitable to trust defaulters who are on the verge of rehabilitation. With perfect bounded information\, defaulter exclusion unravels and trust cannot be sustained\, in any purifiable equilibrium.

In public and private prescription drug plans\, issuers utilize preferred pharmacy networks to reduce drug prices. We show that\, in the Medicare Part D program\, drug plans with restrictive preferred pharmacy networks pay lower retail drug prices\; however\, enrollee insensitivity to preferred pharmacy copay discounts leads to higher prices. We then estimate plan and pharmacy demand models to quantify the costs and benefits of selective contracting with heterogeneous enrollee sensitivity to benefit design.\n\nJoint with Amanda Starc UID:58712-14544817@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58712 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Ross School of Business - R0320 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180920T154248 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:U-M Structure Seminar DESCRIPTION:Jason Porta\, Fellow\, Melanie Ohi Lab\, University of Michigan UID:55762-13777533@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55762 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Structural Biology LOCATION:Life Sciences Institute - Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T104044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? 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.

The Thousand Year Old Stolen Burmese Buddha Who Traveled The World And The Saga Of Its Return DESCRIPTION:This presentation will profile the return of a rare Buddha image that was stolen from a remote temple in Bagan in 1988 and would travel around the world before finally being returned to its home country in 2012. This long saga\, which involved looters\, antique dealers\, art historians\, lawyers\, ambassadors and curators\, demonstrates the intricate complexities in restituting objects. The priceless sculpture was transported from Myanmar (also known as Burma) to Bangkok\, San Francisco\, New York\, Chicago and Paris. It would be saved from the auction block\, before drawing the involvement of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and becoming the subject of a precedent setting lawsuit for antiquities. \n \n This research explored the different phases of this complex and successful story but also question how to implement restitutions most efficiently in the 21st century. Indeed\, as the themes behind this stolen Buddha’s history have wider resonance for the region. Southeast Asian policymakers have been debating for decades on how to best protect their national heritage from criminals\, while fighting for the restitution of stolen artworks. While the level success within each country has varied\, much remains to be done in facing the continuing challenge of art trafficking. \n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

For larger blocks\, variance estimation is relatively straightforward. For matched pairs\, however\, because one cannot directly estimate variance within a block we have to use estimators that look at variation across the blocks. These alternative estimators have been evaluated under different assumptions than found in the large block literature. Because of this\, these two literatures do not handle cases with blocks of varying sizes\, but which contain singleton treatment or control units. This has also created some confusion regarding the benefits of blocking in general. In this talk\, we reconcile the literatures by carefully examining the performance of different estimators of treatment effect and of variance under several different frameworks. We also provide variance estimators for experiments with many small blocks of different sizes and for experiments with mixtures of large and small blocks. We finally discuss in which situations blocking is or is not guaranteed to reduce the variance of our estimator.\n\nNicole Pashley & Luke Miratrix UID:60717-14946092@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60717 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 411 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190407T120009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T235959 SUMMARY:Other:A team Tournament DESCRIPTION:The A team has a tournament at Northern Illinois University  UID:62654-15511471@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62654 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Northern Illinois University CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190227T095818 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Beyond Science Outreach: Connecting with Communities DESCRIPTION:Learn about community engaged scholarship and the variety of ways you can promote positive social change!

Focusing too much on specific details of the networks ignores the overriding theme that the emergence of generic network features is independent of these details. \n \nResults: Cancer is caused by 9 sources of chronic cellular stress which often interact to provide the multiple “hits” that produce malignancy. They are: chronic inflammation (due to infection\, infestation\, autoimmune disorders\, trauma\, overweight\, diabetes and other causes)\; exposure to carcinogens\; reproductive hormones\; Western diet (low fiber\, vegetable and fruit consumption\; high fat)\; aging\; radiation\; immune system dysfunction\; germ line changes and random chronic stress / bad luck. \n \nConclusions: Cancer is an inevitable tradeoff of human biologic design that will always be with us\, particularly as life expectancy increases. However\, we can often prevent it\, we can detect it earlier and we can treat it more effectively. Most cancer is cause by chronic cellular stress\, which disturbs the delicate balance of our interconnected biologic networks. Malignancy arises due to a build up of hierarchies\, in which combination of agents (biomarkers and networks) at one level become agents at the next level. Hierarchies are identifiable by patterns of molecular changes and sometimes by accompanying histologic changes. New cancer treatment approaches will focus on targeting multiple networks to overcome tumor heterogeneity\, reducing the chronic stressors\, moving networks into less lethal states and targeting the chaotic nature of tumors.

I will present evidence that cosmic censorship is violated in the quintessential phenomenon of General Relativity: the collision and merger of two black holes. It only requires a sufficient total angular momentum in a collision in high enough number of dimensions.\nNevertheless\, I will argue that even if cosmic censorship is violated in this and in some other know instances\, its spirit remains unchallenged: classical relativity describes the physics seen by observers outside the black holes accurately\, with only minimal quantum input that does not entail macroscopic disruptions.

The presenters will provide some background information on the prevalence of parents' use of Twitter and then provide rationale for studying fathering and mothering\, especially amongst stay-at-home fathers and mothers\, using Twitter data. Specifically\, the presenters will introduce a few studies their group has conducted to better understand topics and content stay-at-home parents discuss. The presentation will culminate in discussing a number of challenges and opportunities that arise when using Twitter to engage in parenting research. The presenters hope to generate and engage in subsequent discussions on these methodological and ethical issues.

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.

Drawing on self-affirmation theory\, we propose that social worth affirmation – which we define as the process by which an individual’s unique contributions are affirmed by social relationships – can prepare individuals to contribute to team performance more effectively. We theorize that affirming team members’ social worth spills over to the new team context\, thereby decreasing their social concerns about being accepted by other members. This\, in turn\, leads to better information exchange and performance in teams. In a first field experiment\, we found that teams in which members experienced social worth affirmation prior to team formation performed better on a problem-solving task (compared to teams without social worth affirmation). In a second experiment\, conducted using task-oriented teams in the U.S. military\, we tested a full model that social worth affirmation influences information exchange and team performance by reducing members’ concerns about social acceptance. In the third experiment using virtual teams\, we find that social worth affirmation improves teams’ ability to exchange information by sharing unique information cues.

In order to overcome various shades of 'othering\,' Homi Bhabha and other postcolonial theorists have conceptualized interactions between different cultures as processes of hybridization. \nI would like to propose an alternative model for describing processes of cultural translation\, namely the model of grafting that has been used not only by Jacques Derrida as a metaphor for textual cut and paste operations\, but also by Johann Gottfried Herder and Friedrich Schleiermacher for the purpose of coming to terms with the foreignness of other languages as well as other cultures. \n \nUwe Wirth holds the chair for German Literature and Cultural Theory at the German Department at the Julius-Liebig-University Giessen since 2007. From 2005 until 2007 he was the scientific coordinator at the Center for Advanced Literary and Cultural Research (ZfL) in Berlin. \nIn his dissertation\, he addressed topics such as the theories of humor and stupidity (published 1999 under the title Diskursive Dummheit: Abduktion und Komik als Grenzphänomen des Verstehens\, [Discursive Stupidity: Abduction and Comic as Border Phenomena of Understanding\, 1999]. In his 'habilitation'\, he reconstructed the central role of editorial fiction in German literature 'around 1800' (published by the Fink Verlag under the title: Die Geburt des Autors aus dem Geist der Herausgeberfiktion. Editoriale Rahmung im Roman um 1800: Wieland\, Goethe\, Brentano\, Jean Paul und E.T.A. Hoffmann [The Birth of the Author from the Spirit of Editorial Fiction. Editorial framing in the novel around the year 1800: Wieland\, Goethe\, Brentano\, Jean Paul and E.T.A. Hoffmann]. His current research interest is the model of grafting as a model for intercultural relationships as well as a metaphor of inscription and quotation.

We will describe PAR\, its particular relevance to agroecology and food system work\, and its application in our educator training program Laboratorios para la Vida (LabVida). LabVida has been working for eight years to train educators to use school gardens and food systems as venues for inquiry-based learning linking local and academic knowledge. We applied PAR to development and analysis of our training program\, and invited participating educators to use PAR with their groups to explore and improve their food environments. PAR has proven to be an effective tool for generating small but significant changes in participants' narratives and practices.\n \nHelda Morales is from Guatemala City and went to college there.

These are cases where becoming more confident that things will go one way gives you evidence that they'll go the other way\; and vice versa. In these cases\, any belief you adopt undermines itself.

These may not only compete but also cooperate with each other\, describing phases with a common origin that are intertwined. Holographic techniques provide a theoretical laboratory to probe such strongly correlated systems\, offering a new window into their dynamics.\nIn this talk I will discuss a holographic model of a striped superconductor\, which provides a concrete realization of intertwined orders. I will also examine the formation and structure of Fermi surfaces in various holographic systems with broken translational invariance. In particular\, we will see that sufficiently strong lattice effects generically cause the Fermi surface to dissolve\, leaving behind disconnected segments. This segmentation process is reminiscent of the puzzling Fermi arc phenomenon observed in the high temperature superconductors.

From Rome\, the fifty-six year-old painter exerted his power over an “homme de couleur” and a black man by orchestrating a confrontation that left both men in ignorance of its ultimate purpose. Ingres’s sixteen year old student Théodore Chassériau\, was being told secretly to paint the celebrated black model Joseph\, famously placed at the apex of Géricault’s Raft of the Medusa. While refusing to share his intentions with either man\, Ingres confided to a friend that the subject was “Christ Chasing the Devil from the Mountain. As for the pupil\, he does not need to know this.” Locked behind closed doors and left in the dark as to Ingres’s plans\, two Creoles – painter and model - confronted one another\; the result of this encounter was Chassériau’s famous Étude de Nègre of 1838. This talk analyzes the picture and the circumstances of its making in light of France’s colonial history. \n\n\"The Hidden Mod in the New Art History: Another Origin Story\". \nThomas Crow\n\nSummary: the revival of art history as an intellectual discipline from about 1975 drew much of its strength from Parisian modern-life painting in the later 19th century. The story of how it got there contains an earlier and overlooked contribution that surprisingly arose from the rebellious youth culture of postwar London.\n\nFree and open to the public.

Stamps School of Art & Design\nLeela Fernandes\, Womens’ Studies\nAkil Kumarasamy\, English and Creative Writing\nAliyah Khan\, Department of English\nSwarnavel Pillai\, English and Media & Information\, Michigan State University \n\nAbout the exhibit:\n\nUsing an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.

At the same time\, mountains host a substantial proportion of the world’s species and the long-term surface elevation history of orogens not only affects local (e.g. rainfall\, seasonality\, biodiversity) but also global climatic conditions e.g. through atmospheric teleconnections. Recovering the timing and rates of Earth’s surface processes\, therefore\, directly links to patterns of biomes and biodiversity at the interface of atmospheric and geodynamic processes. Here I present stable and clumped isotope approaches from the European Alps (Switzerland)\, the Anatolian plateau (Turkey) and the East African Rift System (Malawi) to identify the interactions of regional surface uplift and climate change on paleo-environmental conditions. Given the rapid technological advances in modeling and proxy approaches to determine paleoelevation as well as phylogenetic techniques in recovering the evolutionary history of mountainous species\, understanding the interactions among biodiversity and Earth surface processes will develop into a key opportunity for the geological and biological sciences.

As part of the Memory\, Urban Violence and Performance Project founded by Ford-Smith\, Vigil for Roxie draws on the memorial practices of working-class Black Jamaican women who have lost loved ones to gang and state violence over the past three decades. Shakes utilizes a womanist paradigm to explore the racial\, economic and gendered dimensions of memory\, healing and justice as depicted in Vigil. By representing experiences of gang and state violence through the bodies and voices of Black women\, Vigil challenges mainstream male-centered understandings of violence while creating a holistic vision of social justice involving the community\, nation and wider region of the Americas.\n\n \n\nBio\n\nNicosia Shakes is Assistant Professor in the Department of Africana Studies at The College of Wooster.

We can make our productions strongly\, even aggressively about our politics rather than Rome’s or early modern England’s. But one major area of Shakespeare marketing that Shakespeare cultural criticism has almost completely ignored is the film - and now also the theatre – trailer. Trailers are everywhere.

In the first example\, she will propose how EEG connectomics coupled with manifold learning and dimensionality reduction may allow us to measure the ‘speed of thinking’ on a sub-second time scale. In the second example\, she will introduce her recent joint work with Dr. Melvin McInnis that seeks to unobtrusively turn smartphones into ‘stethoscopes’ of the brain\, in real time and in the wild. \n\n \n\nBio: Dr. Alex Leow is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry\, Bioengineering\, and Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and an attending physician at the University of Illinois Hospital. With Dr. Olu Ajilore\, Alex founded the Collaborative Neuroimaging Environment for Connectomics (CoNECt) at UIC. CoNECt is an inter-departmental research team devoted to the study of the human brain using multidisciplinary approaches of brain imaging\, non-invasive brain stimulation\, Big Data analytics\, virtual-reality immersive visualization\, and more recently mobile technologies.\n\nMost relevant to this talk\, Alex is honored to the project lead of the BiAffect project. BiAffect is the first scientific study that seeks to turn smartphones into “brain fitness trackers”\, by unobtrusively inferring neuropsychological functioning using entirely passively-collected typing kinematics metadata (i.e.\, not what you type but how you type it) from a smartphone’s virtual keyboard. The iOS BiAffect study app now powers the first-ever crowd-sourced research study to unobtrusively measure mood and cognition in real-time using iPhones and Apple’s ResearchKit framework. \n\nThe CoNECt team’s research has been extensively featured in the news\, including more recently in Chicago Tribune\, Chicago Tonight\, Forbes\, the Wall Street Journal\, the Associated Press news\, and the Rolling Stone.

Osborn Lecture\n\nAbstract: Laboratory thermonuclear fusion experiments with z-pinches\, tokamaks\, stellarators\, and mirror machines began in the early 1950’s\, but achieving the Holy Grail of energy breakeven has remained a Quixotic quest. The first laser was built in 1960 and by 1974\, KMS fusion in Ann Arbor reported the first thermonuclear neutrons from a laser-driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosion (Chroma laser: 0.8kJ). The optimism of producing net energy with modest lasers based on 1-D simulations with limited physics proved unfounded. In the succeeding 45 years\, a series of larger lasers has been built\, but NIF (1.8 MJ) @ LLNL has yet to achieve ignition. All the approaches in the NNSA ICF program\, laser indirect and direct drive\, as well as magnetic direct drive on Z at Sandia will require a major new facility to produce significant yield. Can modern computing models\, validated by new data on critical physics issues\, help cut the Gordian Knot and establish a credible path for a high yield facility? Until recently\, computational constraints limited the physical adequacy of our ICF design tools. In particular\, thermal conduction flux limiters are still used in direct and indirect drive laser ICF target design\, rather than accounting for the kinetic and non-local nature of electron heat transport. My 1978 dissertation on Fokker-Planck modeling was motivated by this problem\, but the development of practical models for use in 3-D rad-hydro codes is ongoing. Excitingly\, recent measurements on Omega of nonlocal heat flux in laser-produced coronal plasmas using a novel Thomson scattering technique [1] are finally providing the missing validation data for these models\, and Vlasov-Fokker-Planck simulations are in progress to determine the self-consistent electron distribution functions and heat flux. Improvements in this and related laser-plasma interaction models will provide a firmer foundation for future extrapolations. My talk concludes with a roadmap for achieving ignition and yield from direct drive ICF with excimer lasers.\n\nBio: Dr. Tom Mehlhorn\, heads the Plasma Physics Division at the Naval Research Laboratory where he oversees a broad spectrum of research\, including fusion\, pulsed power\, laser wakefield acceleration\, space plasmas\, and plasma processing. He has a B.S.\, M.S. and Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Michigan. Dr. Mehlhorn has received several scientific awards\, including the 2004 U of M Alumni Society Award in NERS. He is a Fellow of the APS Division of Plasma Physics\, the AAAS in Physics\, and the IEEE. He is an author on over 160 peer-reviewed papers.\n\nThis annual lecture series has been made possible by a generous endowment by MIT Professor Emeritus Sidney Yip\, a former student of Professor Osborn. These annual lectures are a tribute to Professor Osborn's unwavering dedication to education of students in fundamental science. It is the goal of these lectures to inspire future generations of students in nuclear theory and simulation.

Often\, functionally-relevant states are nearly isoenergetic (separated in energy by a few kT\, or less)\, meaning that at physiological temperatures\, multiple conformational states populate the ensemble. Using newly developed multiconformer models of X-ray crystallography data\, we have shown how population shifts can result from simple temperature perturbation. Our experience over multiple systems has demonstrated that temperature sensitive conformational states are the same ones used by evolution to create new functions\, by small molecules in creating new binding sites\, and by enzymes to transit through a catalytic cycle. Using an easily controllable physical perturbation (temperature) to predict the conformational response to physiological perturbations suggests the specific conformations to enforce at allosteric sites to achieve long-range control over protein activity.

Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: An Evening With Mary Kathryn Nagle DESCRIPTION:Native American Studies at the University of Michigan presents the 2019 Robert F. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: An Evening With Mary Kathryn Nagle\n\"Native Theater in the 21st Century: Piercing the Invisibility and Restoring Our Humanity\"\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. There will be a catered reception to follow the lecture.\n\nMary Kathryn Nagle is an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation. She currently serves as the Executive Director of the Yale Indigenous Performing Arts Program. She is also a partner at Pipestem Law\, P.C.\, where she works to protect tribal sovereignty and the inherent right of Indian Nations to protect their women and children from domestic violence and sexual assault. Nagle has authored numerous briefs in federal appellate courts\, including the United States Supreme Court. Nagle studied theater and social justice at Georgetown University as an undergraduate student\, and received her J.D. from Tulane Law School where she graduated summe cum laude and received the John Minor Wisdom Award. She is a frequent speaker at law schools and symposia across the country. Her articles have been published in law review journals including the Harvard Journal of Law and Gender\, Yale Law Journal (online forum)\, Tulsa Law Review\, and Tulane Law Review\, among others.\n\nNagle is an alumn of the 2012 PUBLIC THEATER Emerging Writers Group\, where she developed her play “Manahatta” in PUBLIC STUDIO (May 2014). Productions include “Miss Lead” (Amerinda\, 59E59\, January 2014)\, and “Fairly Traceable” (Native Voices at the Autry\, March 2017)\, “Sovereignty” (Arena Stage)\, “Manahatta” (Oregon Shakespeare Festival)\, and Return to Niobrara (Rose Theater). In 2019\, Portland Center Stage will produce the world premiere of “Crossing Mnisose.”\n\nNagle has received commissions from Arena Stage (“Sovereignty”)\, the Rose Theater (“Return to Niobrara\,” Omaha\, Nebraska)\, Portland Center Stage (“Mnisose”)\, Denver Center for the Performing Arts\, Yale Repertory Theatre (“A Pipe for February”)\, and Round House Theater. \n\nThe Berkhofer Lecture series (named for a former U-M professor and founder of the field of Native American studies) was established in 2014 by an alumni gift from the Dan and Carmen Brenner family of Seattle\, Washington. In close consultation with the Brenners\, Native American Studies decided to create a public lecture series featuring prominent\, marquee speakers who would draw audiences from different communities (faculty and students\, Ann Arbor and Detroit\, and Michigan tribal communities as well as writers and readers of all persuasions). Native American students at U-M have consistently expressed their desire to make Native Americans more visible both on campus and off\, and we believe that this lecture takes a meaningful step in that direction. Additionally\, because of the statewide publicity it generates\, we think it is already becoming another recruitment incentive for Native American students. It goes without saying that the speakers we are inviting provide tremendous value to the mission and work of Native American Studies at U-M.

In addition to discussing language barriers\, the event will give artists an opportunity to discuss how language enriches their life\, informs their artwork\, as well as how it challenges the individual and community\, especially regarding identity\, bias\, and prejudice.

Casas’s new drama creates a mosaic of a city struggling to survive and present itself to the world by exploring its hidden stories and history. Guest stage director Dexter Singleton\, now based on the East Coast\, grew up in Detroit and has relatives in Flint\, bringing a local touch to the production. With many of the issues remaining unresolved four years out\, Flint serves as a platform for dialogue regarding the future of the city and its resilient residents\, as well as for other communities facing similar problems.

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:60521-14903611@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 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190402T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190406T010000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Fantastic UMix DESCRIPTION:What do an armadillo\, a boa constrictor\, a rat\, and a tarantula have in common?
