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.

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. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock).

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.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728346@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:20190411T142653 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:MPR Associates\, Inc Company Day DESCRIPTION:The ECRC is hosting MPR for a Company Day on Tuesday\, April 16th\, from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM in the EECS Atrium.\n\nJoin MPR in the EECS building atrium to learn about engineering consulting work and current opportunities.

In response to the power of the white gaze against which African Americans have always struggled\, Baldwin launches in this novel a three-part framework of resistance. First\, the narrative exposes the deleterious effects of that gaze on African Americans through underscoring the state’s visible violence. Second\, it opens up spaces for the counter-gaze as a means of resistance to the state’s racist gaze\, even as it shows the limitations of the exclusive use of counter-gazing as a resistance strategy. Third\, Baldwin’s narrative also employs sound-based resistance to more effectively counteract the damage that the white gaze causes in the lives of his black characters. In this context\, I argue that Baldwin’s tripartite framework of resistance is effective\, as it does not privilege sight over sound and in so doing does not adopt the same gaze-based framework of the oppressor. On the contrary\, what If Beale demonstrates\, I show\, is how to reshape the contours of resistance\, engaging—wittingly or unwittingly—philosophical approaches that concern themselves with auditory and visual ways of knowing and resisting power\, which I call audision. While lending itself to the theoretical and thematic aspects of the novel\, this tripartite framework extends as well to the novel’s structure. Baldwin produces an art form that urges readers not only to read but also to listen\, a new novelistic form that opens up possibilities for multisensory resistance without (fore)closing them.\n\nPlease email Hayley O'Malley (hayleyom@umich.edu) or Joshua Miller (joshualm@umich.edu) if you are interested in receiving the paper\, which will be available on Monday\, April 8th. \n\nMahmoud Zidan is an assistant professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Jordan. His interests include African American literature during the Cold War\, postcolonial studies\, Palestinian literature\, native-speakerism\, and contemporary fiction.

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. \n\nThis 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.\n\nThe 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.

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.

And yet two-thirds of American adults cannot name a single living scientist\, and the gap continues to widen between the informed conclusions of scientists and public understanding. Political divisions increasingly dictate science’s role in public discourse as well as funding priorities. With many researchers lacking a command of effective communication strategies\, science often punches below its weight when it comes to influencing policy on vital issues such as climate change\, vaccinations and science education.\n\nIn this interactive talk\, science journalist Tom Clynes will present ways to harness the power of narrative to create compelling and influential stories that bridge the divide between scientists and the public. Emerging evidence-based communication strategies and a shifting media landscape have opened up new possibilities (and a few pitfalls too) that can empower researchers who seek a broader audience for discoveries that might otherwise languish in lecture halls and academic journals.\n\nTom Clynes is an award-winning author and photojournalist who travels the world covering science and environmental issues. His feature stories have appeared in National Geographic\, Nature\, The New York Times Magazine\, Nature\, Popular Science\, and Scientific American\, among other publications. \n\nTom is the author of three books\, including\, most recently\, The Boy Who Played With Fusion\, which tells the story of the 14-year-old who became the youngest person on Earth to build a working nuclear fusion reactor. He’s a Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow and an International Reporting Project Fellow.

Nature\, 2001\; Pickens et al. TINS\, 2011). In these studies\, the rats were removed from their drug self-administration environment during extended periods of forced abstinence. More recently\, we have established a rat model in which we observe incubation of drug craving after extended periods of voluntary abstinence in the drug environment. Voluntary abstinence is achieved using a mutually exclusive discrete choice procedure in which food-sated male and female rats with prior extended history of intravenous methamphetamine or heroin self-administration can choose every day (20 trials per day) between the palatable food and the drug. In this lecture\, I will present our behavioral\, pharmacological\, and brain circuit characterization of incubation of drug craving after voluntary abstinence. I will also introduce a novel relapse model in which voluntary abstinence is achieved by providing the rats an alternative social reward. \n\n\n\nBiography: Yavin Shaham received his BS and MA from the Hebrew U\, Jerusalem\, and his PhD from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences\, Bethesda\, MD.

An organism that epitomizes both the urgency and challenges associated with this threat is carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). CRKP was first observed in a clinical case in 1996\, in a hospital in North Carolina. Since that time\, successful lineages of CRKP have spread across the globe\, becoming endemic in healthcare networks in many regions. This increasing prevalence of CRKP poses a great risk to hospitalized patients\, as crude mortality rates for CRKP infections can be upwards of 50 percent. Moreover\, the threat associated with CRKP continues to escalate\, with numerous reports of CRKP that are resistant to even last-line antibiotics\, leaving affected patients with limited treatment options.\n\nThe lack of effective treatments for CRKP infections places an even greater importance on prevention of CRKP transmission. A major hindrance to CRKP prevention is a lack of understanding of the patient factors and clinical practices that influence the risk of transmission. In this presentation I will discuss both published and ongoing work aimed at analyzing whole genome sequences of CRKP isolates from patients\, along with detailed data on clinical exposures and locations to understand the sites and drivers of transmission. Ultimately\, we hope this work will help us understand the drivers of CRKP transmission across regional healthcare networks and identify modifiable risk factors that can be targeted to help control the CRKP epidemic.

DESCRIPTION:On April 27\, 2012\, Birame Abeid\, a renowned Mauritanian activist planned carefully and executed the public burning of several books of Islamic jurisprudence. Nearly two years later\,​ ​in December 2014\, Muhamed Mkhaitir\, a blogger claiming to speak for the community of “blacksmiths”\, published a lengthy text in which he accuses the Prophet Muhammad himself of “favoritism.\" Both offenders claimed afterwards they only wanted to denounce the ways in which the local elite has been consistently using Islam and Sharia to sanction the oppression/marginalization of former slaves and other occupational groups. In so doing\, these human rights activists have indeed thrown their country\, a self-proclaimed Islamic Republic\, into an uproar. As they no doubt must have expected\, their unprecedented religious offenses sparked nationwide protests. With few exceptions\, almost all political figures and religious elites campaigned for their execution for “apostasy” in accordance with the (Islamic) law of the land. Yet\, despite being promptly arrested and thrown in jail\, the two “defendants” were ultimately able to essentially get away with blasphemy. In this presentation\, I draw on a treasure trove of qualitative data collected on the field over several years in order to demonstrate that\, at least in this context\, what is at stake in these \"blasphemy controversies” has less to do with the usual tension between secular criticism and religious censure and more to do with ongoing public negotiations over what it means to be Muslims amid heated political debates over race\, gender\, social hierarchies\, belonging\, citizenship and inequality. Shifting the focus away from the usual framing of blasphemy accusations in terms of conflict between religious freedom and Islamic taboos\, I offer a detailed comparative account of these two “cases” in order to go beyond the notion that “outdated\, medieval blasphemy laws” illustrate the so-called stand-off between Islam and liberal democratic values.” \n\nZekeriah Ould Ahmed Salem is Associate Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University and Director of The Institute for the Study of Islamic Thought in Africa in the Program of African Studies. He specializes in Islam and Muslim Politics in Africa in comparative perspective. His research engages contemporary academic debates regarding religion and politics\, especially the interplay in contemporary African societies of a variety of issues such as: the state\, religious authority\, race\, social hierarchies\, identity politics\, Islamic knowledge and political power. Ahmed Salem secondary research interests include everyday negotiations over citizenship\, bureaucratization and the Institutionalization of the state in Africa. \n\nHe is the author of: Prêcher dans le Desert: Islam\, Politique et Changement Social en Mauritanie (published by Karthala\, Paris\, in 2013\, with an English translation forthcoming as Preaching in the Desert: Islam\, Politics and Social Change in Mauritania) and the editor of: Trajectoires d’un Etat-Frontière.

Recently they emerged in the nonrelativistic condensed-matter setting as gapless quasiparticle states in some types of crystals. Notable examples of 2D systems include graphene and surface states in topological insulators such as Bi_2Se_3. Their 3D implementation is Dirac and Weyl semimetals. Most of the research has been focused on their topological properties and electron transport. However\, their optical properties are no less exciting. Optical phenomena provide valuable insight into the fascinating physics of these materials. Optical spectroscopy can provide a cleaner and more straightforward way of studying topological properties of electron states as compared to transport measurements. Moreover\, unusual optical properties of these materials can be utilized in future optoelectronic devices. I will discuss several examples illustrating these points. They include bulk and surface polaritons in Weyl semimetals\, magnetooptics of Dirac and Weyl semimetals\, and the nonlocal nonlinear optical response of graphene and topological insulators. \n UID:62977-15528488@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62977 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190107T155520 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T170000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Cross-Campus Transfer Info Sessions DESCRIPTION:If you are enrolled in another University of Michigan-Ann Arbor school or college and are interested in transferring to LSA\, you must attend a transferring to LSA information session.\n\nInfo sessions will be held in Angell Hall\, Room G243 at 4:00 p.m. on the following dates:\n\nMonday\, January 14\nTuesday\, January 22\nMonday\, February 11\nWednesday\, February 27\nTuesday\, March 19\nMonday\, April 1\nTuesday\, April 16\nWednesday\, April 24 UID:59248-14719641@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59248 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Undergraduate LOCATION:Angell Hall - G243 Angell Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190501T123007 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Internship Lab DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to start searching for a great internship?

Optimally\, this type of activity would provide them an entry point into the scientific practice of constructing and using models. But\, evidence shows that after participating in traditional approaches to general chemistry students tend to approach mathematical problem solving algorithmically and may struggle to connect mathematical representations to particulate-level ideas. The question becomes: How can we as instructors support students in more meaningful engagement with mathematical and other models in chemistry contexts? Here\, we discuss findings from our research into students’ reasoning about different types of models in the general chemistry sequence and discuss potential routes towards promoting more meaningful engagement in model-based reasoning and mathematical thinking.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nNicole Becker (University of Iowa) UID:62975-15528486@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62975 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1706 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190408T140859 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T190000 SUMMARY:Other:Dinner with...
