We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728342@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190411T131708 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190412T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190412T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:LRCCS Conference | Understanding Media: New Perspectives on Ming–Qing Literature DESCRIPTION:The full two-day schedule is available here: https://ii.umich.edu/lrccs/news-events/events/conferences/understanding-media--new-perspectives-on-ming-qing-literature/schedule--understanding-media--new-perspectives-on-ming-qing-lit.html\n\nThis international conference examines the critical role of media in the making and remaking of Ming-Qing literature. Invited scholars will bring to light the supports and surfaces that shaped sensory experiences of the “literary.” Some panels will trace the lives of literary works from the oral to the analog to the digital\; others will consider how early modern readers understood what we now call “media.” Over the course of two days\, the conference proceeds from the early modern moment to rethink 21st-century understandings of “new” media.\n\nFriday\, April 12\, 2019\n9am–6pm\nMichigan Room at Michigan League\, 911 N.

The meaning of the past and threats to the future are hotly contested. Scientists simultaneously proclaim epochal ruptures and extrapolate present trends into the next millennium. New technologies promise to help us “be present” even as they stretch our attentions to the breaking point. The nature of time is of central importance to modern intellectual\, cultural\, and political life\, and STS is well-positioned to address how divergent temporalities structure our public and private lives\, environmental imaginaries\, and embodied experiences. Recent work on the sciences of prediction and forecasting\, the vital politics of science fiction\, and the Anthropocene suggest some of the many ways scholars of STS can and should intervene in broader debates that trouble the present moment.\n\nPanels: Experiencing Time\, Embodying Time\; Apocalyse Now?\; Scholarship NOW\; Is Ancient Science Studies an Anachronism?

This conformable\, stretchable\, self-healable and biodegradable material simultaneously collects signals from external stimuli that translate into information such as pressure\, pain\, and temperature. The development of electronic materials\, inspired by the complexity of this organ is a tremendous\, unrealized materials challenge. However\, the advent of organic-based electronic materials may offer a potential solution to this longstanding problem. In this talk\, I will describe the design of organic electronic materials to mimic skin functions. These new materials and new devices enabled arrange of new applications in medical devices\, robotics and wearable electronics.\n \n\n\n \nLecture 2: April 12\, 2019\, 9:00 am\nResearch Auditorium\, B10 Research Auditorium\n\nSkin-Inspired Electronic Material Design\n\nFuture electronics will take more important roles in people’s life. They need to allow more intimate contact with human beings to enable advanced health monitoring\, disease detection\, medical therapies\, and human-machine interfacing. However\, current electronics are rigid\, non-degradable and cannot self-repair\, while the human body is soft\, dynamic\, stretchable\, biodegradable and self-healing. Therefore\, it is critical to develop a new class of electronic materials that incorporate skin-like properties\, including stretchability for conformable integration\, minimal discomfort and suppressed invasive reactions\; self-healing for long-term durability under harsh mechanical conditions\; and biodegradability for reducing environmental impact and obviating the need for secondary device removal for medical implants. These demands have fueled the development of a new generation of electronic materials\, primarily comprised of polymers and polymer composites with both high electrical performance and skin-like properties\, and consequently led to a new paradigm of electronics\, termed “skin-inspired electronics”. In this talk\, I will discuss our general material design concepts to realize skin-like properties without compromising electronic properties. Such fundamental understandings will allow us to further develop skin-inspired materials to meet future requirements for various new applications.\n\nBIO\n\nZhenan Bao joined Stanford University in 2004.

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.

A real data example of an intervention for learning rotational skills in spatial reasoning is used to illustrate restricted latent class models for item responses\, known as cognitive diagnosis models\, that are coupled with transition models for learning. An array of possibilities are considered that include models with explanatory variables\, such as intervention and practice effects\, as well as more parsimonious first-order Markov models. In addition\, we consider a higher-order continuous variable that may be thought of as general learning ability. The value of response times in assessing learning is considered\, and the concept of fluency in which learned attributes are applied more and more easily is introduced. Extensions of the models that include parameters for the instructional value of individual items are given\, and MCMC methods for fitting the models are discussed along with results from numerical studies. An R package that includes the spatial reasoning dataset and tools for fitting learning models is reviewed and future directions and new possibilities for applying learning models in e-learning environments are discussed.

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.

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.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

The story of Backyard Brains\, alternative academia and the Neurorevolution DESCRIPTION:More people have Ph.D.s than ever before\, and yet the amount of traditional academic jobs at universities hasn’t increased with the supply. For many\, the uncertainty of their academic careers can be overwhelming: often having to choose between leaving academia all together\, or waiting a very long time for a position to open up. But what if it didn’t have to be that way? In this talk\, Greg Gage argues for an alternate academic career—one where you can be a true academic outside of the university setting—by using entrepreneurship. You can perform original research\, publish papers and present at conferences outside of the hallowed halls of an institution: and grad students are the perfect fit. Here\, Gage will share how to take the ideas generated at school and turn them into a business. Now is a really great time to be an entrepreneur\, and Gage will show you how.

We identify a canonical class of mechanisms rich enough to replicate the payoffs of any equilibrium in a mechanism-selection game between an uninformed designer and a privately informed agent. A cornerstone of our methodology is the idea that a mechanism should encode not only the rules that determine the allocation\, but also the information the designer obtains from the interaction with the agent. Therefore\, how much the designer learns\, which is the key tension in design with limited commitment\, becomes an explicit part of the design. We show how this insight can be used to transform the designer’s problem into a constrained optimization one: To the usual truthtelling and participation constraints\, one must add the designer’s sequential rationality constraint.\n\nJonit with Vasiliki Skreta UID:58627-14520009@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 301 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190411T082632 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190412T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190412T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Afrofuturist Challenges to Humanism: The Fiction of Sharon Dodua Otoo DESCRIPTION:In her short story\, “Herr Gröttrup setzt sich hin\,” Sharon Otoo engages with the topic of posthumanism from an Afrofuturist perspective in this parody of an encounter between a German married couple at breakfast. Riffing on famous German comic Loriot’s sketch\, “The Breakfast Egg\,” which mocked the lack of communication between husbands and wives from the perspective of the husband\, Otoo’s story is a feminist re-reading of this scenario that strips the white man of his agency by granting agency to a breakfast egg that has refused to cook properly. In this story\, the posthumanist strategy of granting agency and reflection to non-human objects allows readers to consider who else in German history might have been treated similarly – Women? People of color? Queer folx? It is therefore fitting that the story ends with Herr Gröttrup’s interaction with his non-German maid\, a woman whose presence he was unaware of until then because her status as a woman\, a domestic worker and a non-German made her and her labor invisible to him. It is only on the day that he contemplates the possibility of the egg having agency that he is able to really see the others who populate his world.

The framework is consistent with the null result of LHC colored top partner searches while offering many alternative discovery channels. Depending on model details\, the phenomenology looks very different: either spectacular long-lived particle signals at colliders\, or a plethora of unusual cosmological and astrophysical signatures via the existence of a predictive hidden sector. I will examine the latter possibility\, and describe how the asymmetrically reheated Mirror Twin Higgs provides a predictive framework for a highly motivated and highly non-trivial interacting dark sector\, with correlated signals in the CMB\, Large Scale Structure\, and direct detection searches\, as well as higgs precision measurements at colliders. This provides a vivid example of the collider-cosmology complementarity\, and motivates a variety of new astrophysical searches\, including the search for X-ray point sources from Mirror Stars\, that are motivated by the hierarchy problem.

According a second view\, which I call \"quotienting\" (short for \"quotienting-out conventional content by hand\")\, theories may be equivalent even when we cannot state\, in an intrinsic or \"artifact-free\" way\, the content that the theories have in common. These two views are in a sense the extremes. The first view (which I accept) leads to uncomfortable conclusions about the kinds of questions that are genuine (e.g.\, whether negation and conjunction\, as opposed to negation and disjunction\, form the metaphysically correct basis for propositional logic). The second is dizzying\, but sheds light on various otherwise perplexing viewpoints in metaphysics\, philosophy of physics\, and philosophy of mathematics.

The framework is consistent with the null result of LHC colored top partner searches while offering many alternative discovery channels. Depending on model details\, the phenomenology looks very different: either spectacular long-lived particle signals at colliders\, or a plethora of unusual cosmological and astrophysical signatures via the existence of a predictive hidden sector. I will examine the latter possibility\, and describe how the asymmetrically reheated Mirror Twin Higgs provides a predictive framework for a highly motivated and highly non-trivial interacting dark sector\, with correlated signals in the CMB\, Large Scale Structure\, and direct detection searches\, as well as higgs precision measurements at colliders. This provides a vivid example of the collider-cosmology complementarity\, and motivates a variety of new astrophysical searches\, including the search for X-ray point sources from Mirror Stars\, that are motivated by the hierarchy problem.

The talk will focus on 3 examples. The first draws from our work on risks associated with the mining industry and highlights the significant spatial and temporal correlation or concentration of risk across global assets that may be owned by the same company. Implications for supply chains\, commodity markets and risk premiums are briefly discussed.The second example focuses on livestock mortality in Mongolia at a national scale that is determined by a combination of climatic factors. In this example\, I will introduce a stochastic simulator that can allow a characterization of the aggregate risk accounting for the spatial correlation of tail risk. An application to index insurance for the Government of Mongolia provides the context. The third example pertains to the securitization of financial risk for an energy utility in Uruguay\, where both the utility and the government face significant financial risk in the event of a drought disrupting hydropower production. A strategy for the simulation of the system\, and of a combination of financial instruments to select the optimal risk hedging strategy through an allocation to the different financial instruments is provided.\n\nDr. Upmanu Lall is the Director of the Columbia Water Center and the Alan and Carol Silberstein Professor of Engineering\, and the Chair of the Dept. of Earth & Environmental Engineering at Columbia University.

Conceiving of filmed space as a tensile relationship between a film’s onscreen space and its defining social spaces\, which together constitute a film’s visual appearance and its institutional materiality\, I look at the ways in which Bollywood’s backgrounds register India’s politico-economic transitions. The composition and appearance of a film’s backgrounds encode socio-economic histories of India’s transition from an era of economic protectionism to the current phase of privatization and the commodification of everyday life. Based on my interviews with professionals who work on producing Hindi cinema’s locations and backgrounds\, conducted in the months leading up to the national elections that put Narendra Modi in power in 2014\, this talk proposes a spatial film historiography to account for the complex spatialities of a media form and society\, when both are in transition.\n\nPriya Jaikumar is Associate Professor at the Division of Cinema and Media Studies in the School of Cinematic Arts\, University of Southern California. Her talk will draw on her forthcoming book\, Where Histories Reside: India as Filmed Space\, in production with Duke University Press.\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.

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:60521-14903618@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:20190220T121916 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190412T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190413T010000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Super UMix Arcade DESCRIPTION:Swing by the Michigan League from 9:00PM to 1:00AM for this week's Super UMix Arcade!
