Gifts of presents Art, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway (April 9, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62140 62140-15302145@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 8:00am
Location: University Hospitals
Organized By: Gifts of Art

In Juliette Hemingway’s work, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. 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.

she was here, once (April 9, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875158@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 8:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. 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.

In 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).

The 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.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency (April 9, 2019 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/58928 58928-14578340@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

"Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency," by collaborative artists Paloma Muñoz and Walter Martin, is a razor-sharp work that brings into question our ideals of house and home, privacy, and safety.

The exhibition combines photographs the artists have envisioned of houses without windows as well an actual glass house planned for the center of the gallery, revisiting the whole notion of a glass house as an example of sophistication, luxury, and modernism.

In a darkening an era of surveillance and the internet, for Martin and Muñoz, "Blind House" serves as "a metaphorical solution to the full on campaign against personal privacy." Read the artists' statement at http://myumi.ch/6wxbk

Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

Dr. Hanson holds an MA in economics and a Ph.D. in political science from the
University of Michigan. He is a lecturer in statistics for public policy at the Ford School. He is a specialist in comparative political economy and political development,

In this lecture Dr. Hanson examines the ways in which, and the channels through which, political institutions affect economic performance and human development. In his recent projects, he has explored whether democracy and state capacity complement or substitute for each other when it comes to improving human development, why authoritarian regimes vary significantly in economic and social outcomes, how the spatial distribution of ethnic group populations interacts with political institutions to affect the supply of public services, and how to measure state capacity.

This is the eighth in OLLI’S distinguished lecture series for 2018-19. A total of ten lectures will be presented covering a variety of topics. The next lecture will be May 14, 2019. The topic will be: The Fall and Rise of Income Inequality in the United States

Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Center for Political Studies - Institute for Social Research

Dr. Fariss is excited to host a weekly Tuesday morning hackerspace from February 12 until April 23. Dr. Fariss uses computational methods and the statistical program R to study why governments around the world torture, maim, and kill individuals within their jurisdiction, and the processes monitors use to observe and document these abuses. Other research projects cover a broad array of themes but share a focus on computationally intensive methods, research design, and the analysis of data at a massive scale.

This weekly meeting with Dr. Fariss is for those with an interest in the R statistical programming language. Both beginners and experienced users are invited to attend. Dr. Fariss plans to introduce mostly introductory material during these sessions but will also cover Bayesian modeling in R and STAN.

The goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate, hackers need to bring their own laptops and, ideally, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (April 9, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53718 53718-13452808@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

Lead support for "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY

In celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. 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.

#CosmogonicTattoos

Lead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

Biopsychology Colloquium: The male gelada chest patch: a visual signal of male quality (April 9, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59097 59097-14677975@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 12:00pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Psychology

The most striking feature of the gelada (Theropithecus gelada) is a flame-red patch of skin on the chest. Dominant males exhibit the brightest chest patches, suggesting this signal may function as a sexually selected handicap signal to ward off potential male competitors. However, little is known about the mechanism linking color intensity to male quality or the potential physiological costs to maintaining chest redness. In most systems, testosterone links signal intensity and the quality of the signaler as testosterone is metabolically costly and prevents low quality males from falsely signaling high quality. Despite a large sample size of chest patch photos and hormone samples, our research group has been unable to find a link between fecal testosterone levels and chest color in geladas. Here, I investigate the potential driving mechanisms and associated costs of chest patch coloration in a group of habituated geladas living in the Simien Mountains National Park, Ethiopia.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | The Origins and Evolution of Social Surveillance in China (April 9, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59706 59706-14780085@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

This talk focuses on the post-1949 efforts of the Chinese state to develop a panoptical surveillance capacity. Although these efforts have been largely successfully with regard to the Han majority, the talk argues that from the 1950s to the present day, territorially concentrated minority groups like the Tibetans and the Uighurs have remained poorly penetrated and thus present a persistent powerful obstacle for the highly sophisticated Chinese surveillance apparatus. The paper is based on internal circulation (neibu) materials from China.

Martin K. Dimitrov is Associate Professor of Political Science at Tulane University. He received his PhD from Stanford University in 2004. His books include “Piracy and the State: The Politics of Intellectual Property Rights in China” (Cambridge University Press, 2009); “Why Communism Did Not Collapse: Understanding Authoritarian Regime Resilience in Asia and Europe” (Cambridge University Press, 2013); and “The Political Logic of Socialist Consumption” (Ciela Publishers, 2018).

Many people commit to a purpose or a mission statement of a company they might work for, shop at, or go to, but many people do not have a purpose of their own. A part of authentic leadership is committing to a purpose that helps us to deepen our impact. Your purpose springs from your identity and is the essence of who you are. To figure out who you are in such a world, let alone “be nobody but yourself,” is indeed hard work. This workshop will help you uncover what your ultimate purpose is and learn how to commit to it in times of uncertainty. This workshop is powered by the Sanger Leadership Center.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Assistant Professor of American Culture and Women's Studies, and 2018-19 Institute for the Humanities Charles P. Brauer Faculty Fellow Ava Purkiss gives a 30-minute talk followed by Q & A.

In 1959, black fashion and marketing expert Elsie Archer published Let’s Face It: A Guide to Good Grooming for Negro Girls in which she offered health and beauty advice to young black women. Before suggesting diet plans and exercise programs, she asked her readers: “How did you get fat anyway?” Archer added that avoiding fatness through diet and exercise would enable young black women to discover their feminine charms, enhance their appearances, and achieve a body that will “fit in.” My talk will examine how black women like Archer used nutrition advice, diet and exercise promotion, and fat shaming tactics to literally shape the fit black female body in the mid-twentieth century.

The Wrong Man: Detective Mystery on Film (April 9, 2019 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58962 58962-14628125@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 1:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

The innocent man (or woman) wrongly suspected of a crime, who must become the “detective” to exonerate or even save him/herself from danger. It’s a detective mystery genre used to great effect by film-makers over the years, primarily Alfred Hitchcock. We’ll watch three examples from Hitchcock to see how he perfected this form through the years, and then watch two other more modern adaptations. Can they live up to Hitch’s model?

Instructor George Ferrell is a mystery fan who has led three previous mystery film study groups. These sessions for those 50 and above meet on Tuesdays (and one Wednesday on May 8th) from 1:30-4:30. No session May 7.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Using 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.

This exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam, Osman Khan, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

In the 1880s, when the future of Malawi was being decided between Cecil Rhodes and the British government, Protestant missionaries from Scotland issued a series of scathing attacks on Rhodes’s imperial designs. For David Clement Scott, the most visionary amongst them, Rhodes epitomised the wrong turn that race relations would take when the territory was declared a Protectorate in 1891. Scott’s vision was of an Africa in which different races worked for the common good – “not side by side but as one”. From language learning to land tenure, the approach he advocated was no idealism detached from practical initiatives. It involved as much status reversal between white and black as it did hierarchical forbearance. By attending to some of Scott’s short-lived innovations, I ask whether the intervening century has made such decolonial thought all but impossible to comprehend in its own terms. What is the prospect of recovering de-racialized humanity, even if in a Christian key, as the critical concept in decolonial thought?

Dr. Barense is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto. Dr. Barense has been trained in animal neuroscience, human neuropsychology, fMRI, and cognitive psychology and enjoys bringing these approaches together to study the neural underpinnings of memory.

Presentation Title: Understanding memory disorders: At the level of cognitive process representational content?

Abstract:

How does perception of an object relate to subsequent memory for that object? A central assumption in most modern theories of memory is that memory and perception are functionally and anatomically segregated. For example, amnesia resulting from medial temporal lobe (MTL) lesions is traditionally considered to be a selective deficit in long-term declarative memory with no effect on perceptual processes. This view is consistent with a popular paradigm in cognitive neuroscience, in which the brain is understood in terms of a modular organization of function based on cognitive process. The work I will present offers a new perspective. Guided by computational modelling complemented with neuropsychology and neuroimaging, I will provide support for the notion that memory and perception are inextricably intertwined throughout the MTL, relying on shared neural representations and computational mechanisms. I will then describe how this new framework can improve basic understanding of cognitive impairments observed in Alzheimer’s disease, as well as guide development of new diagnostic procedures for those at risk for dementia.

Jeroboam in Medieval Jewish Thought (April 9, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57445 57445-14193517@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 4:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Judaic Studies

Jeroboam Ben Nabat, a pretender to the throne of ancient Israel who had created a rival cult outside of Jerusalem replete with golden calves dedicated to the worship of Yahweh (1 Kings 15), was a contested figure within medieval Jewish thought. Post-biblical sources tend either to magnify or diminish the severity of the king’s error. This paper will study how Jeroboam’s image was shaped through forces of intra- and inter-religious polemic and served as a focal point for contemplating issues of Jewish orthodoxy and heterodoxy as well as the nature and boundaries of idolatry.

There is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor. If you have a disability that requires an accommodation, contact the Judaic Studies office at judaicstudies@umich.edu or 734-763-9047.

City’s water systems are experiencing the pressure of growing populations, shrinking budgets, climate change, and aging infrastructure. These factors present
utilities with the urban water cycle trilemma: investing capital to maintain or expand infrastructure, doing business as usual to maintain its level of service, and doing all this affordably.
This talk will show how utilities are using machine learning and internet of things to solve the urban water cycle trilemma by disrupting the status quo. Data intensive solutions are being used to adapt water infrastructure in real time to provide citizens with higher levels of service while reducing energy and chemical consumption in treatment plants, reducing storm related flooding and overflows, and increasing drinking water quality.

Luis is the CTO and President of EmNet. Luis founded EmNet to study and develop solutions to optimize the operation of complex wastewater collection systems. EmNet’s Real Time Decision Support System technology helps utilities maximize the use of existing and future infrastructure to reduce combined sewer overflows volumes and frequencies.

Nam Center for Korean Studies Colloquium Series | Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies (April 9, 2019 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58150 58150-14433285@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 4:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

This book examines how national policies and immigrant advocacy groups interact to shape collective identity formation, solidarity networks, and strategies for political empowerment among immigrants and their descendants in East Asian democracies, focusing on Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. With immigrant agency at the center of its analysis, this book asks why foreign residents make the political choices they do as they become permanent members of their receiving societies. Based on over 150 in-depth interviews with immigrants, pro-immigrant activists, and government officials and 28 focus groups with the major foreign resident groups in each country conducted in the greater Tokyo, Seoul, and Taipei metropolitan areas from 2009 to 2013, this book prioritizes the role played by civil society actors—including migrants themselves—in giving voice to migrant interests, mobilizing migrant actors, and shaping public debate and policy on immigration. Departing from the dominant scholarship on immigrant incorporation that focuses on national cultures or traditions, domestic political elites, and international norms, I argue that civil society actors drew on existing ideas, networks, and strategies previously applied to incorporate historically marginalized groups, or what I call civic legacies, to confront the challenges of immigrant incorporation. Rather than determining the paths available to later generations, civic legacies form the opportunities and constraints that demarcate the rules of the game for migrant claims making, thus framing the direction of immigrant incorporation, the level of penetration in society, and the potential for structural reform. As the first English-language book comparing three countries that represent a single model of immigrant incorporation in East Asia, Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies proposes to shed insights into the gaps between policy intent, interpretation, and outcomes.

Erin Aeran Chung is the Charles D. Miller Associate Professor of East Asian Politics in the Department of Political Science and the Co-Director of the Racism, Immigration, and Citizenship (RIC) Program at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. She specializes in East Asian political economy, international migration, and comparative racial politics. She has been a Mansfield Foundation U.S.-Japan Network for the Future Program Scholar, an SSRC Abe Fellow at the University of Tokyo and Korea University, an advanced research fellow at Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs Program on U.S.-Japan Relation, and a Japan Foundation fellow at Saitama University. Her first book, Immigration and Citizenship in Japan, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2010 and translated into Japanese and published by Akashi Shoten in 2012. Her second book, Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies, is under contract at Cambridge University Press. She was recently awarded a grant from the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS) to support the completion of her third book project on Citizenship, Social Capital, and Racial Politics in the Korean Diaspora.

“Darlings, Delicacies, Deities & Donations: Ancient Egyptian Animal Mummies as Cultural and Environmental Markers” (April 9, 2019 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58567 58567-14511742@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 5:30pm

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Animals have played a crucial role in human history, and continue to do so until today. The interaction between humans and animals can affect the environment, and vice versa. In the ancient Egyptian Nile Valley, in addition to providing food, transportation, raw materials, companionship and entertainment, animals played a key role in religion. As such, they inspired divine iconography and language, and served both as manifestations as well as offerings to gods. Ultimately, in the twilight of Egypt’s pharaonic history, animals played a part in defining cultural identity and world-view. This talk will focus on a critical locus of this agency: animal mummies in ancient Egypt, and what they tell us not only about Egyptian culture, economy, and human-animal relationships, but also about Egypt’s changing environment.

Salima Ikram is Distinguished University Professor of Egyptology at The American University in Cairo, and has worked as an archaeologist in Turkey, Sudan, Greece and the United States. After double majoring in history and classical and near eastern archaeology at Bryn Mawr College, she received her MPhil in museology and Egyptian archaeology and PhD in Egyptian archaeology from Cambridge University. She previously directed the Animal Mummy Project, the North Kharga Darb Ain Amur Survey, Valley of the Kings KV10/KV63 Mission co-directed the Predynastic Gallery project and the North Kharga Oasis Survey. She has also participated in several other archaeological missions throughout Egypt. She has lectured on her work internatioinally, and publishes in both scholarly and popular journals. She also has an active media presence.

Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

JigJam is a multi-award winning quartet from the heart of the midlands in Ireland. Blending the best of traditional Irish music with Bluegrass and Americana in a new genre which has been branded as 'I-Grass' (Irish-influenced Bluegrass), their onstage energy along with their virtuosic musical ability has captivated audiences throughout the world. Says "Here's an Irish band that's going to impact the world as hard as Clancy Brothers or U2 if they get only half a chance." Jamie McKeogh, Cathal Guinan and Daithi Melia all hail from Tullamore, County Offaly with County Tipperary–born Gavin Strappe completing the quartet. All four members grew up immersed in Irish traditional music and culture, and the band has collectively achieved over twenty All-Ireland titles at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann competitions. They have now developed their own unique style of music influenced by American folk music whilst staying true to their Irish roots. They've recorded two albums and are coming to Michigan with one more.

Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library (April 9, 2019 9:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60521 60521-14903615@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 9:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations, performances, interventions, and events by University of Michigan faculty, staff, and students, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan, dean of the Penny W. 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.

The 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.

Bookmarks: 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.
