SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION: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.\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). 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.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Exhibition:True to Life: Film Director Nancy Savoca’s Quest for Authenticity
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Nancy Savoca aims to be as authentic as possible. Her films are brilliant\, intimate portraits that explore the weight of social institutions and social injustice placed upon the shoulders of her characters. Her lead characters\, typically women\, must balance their needs with those of others in order to find their true voice. This U-M student-curated exhibit is the result of a semester-long course devoted to her films and career.\n\nSavoca contributed her papers — spanning her career as a director\, producer\, and screenwriter — to the Screens Arts Mavericks & Makers collection at the U-M Library. Her archive represents nearly three decades of indie filmmaking\, and includes notes\, notebooks\, photos\, and script drafts.\n\nSee the symposium schedule for Character Driven: Exploring the Career and Archives of Nancy Savoca: https://www.lib.umich.edu/announcements/symposium-celebrates-filmmaker-nancy-savoca

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Introduction to the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Health and Retirement Study (hrsonline.isr.umich.edu) Summer Workshop is intended to give participants an introduction to the study that will enable them to use the data for research. HRS is a large-scale longitudinal study with more than 20 years of data on the labor force participation and health transitions that individuals undergo toward the end of their work lives and in the years that follow. The HRS Summer Workshop features morning lectures on basic survey content\, sample design\, weighting\, and restricted data files. Hands-on data workshops are held every afternoon in which participants learn to work with the data (including the user-friendly RAND version of the HRS data) under the guidance of HRS staff. Staff of the Gateway to Global Aging project (G2Aging.org)\, which harmonizes data across HRS international sister studies\, conduct an afternoon training. At the end of the week\, students have the opportunity to present their research ideas to the class and HRS research faculty and obtain feedback. Topics include (but are not limited to) in depth information on HRS data about health insurance and medical care\; biomarkers\, physical measures\, and genetic data\; cognition\; health and physical functioning\; linkage to Medicare\; employment\, retirement\, and pensions and linkage toe Social Security records\; psychosocial and well-being\; family data\; and international comparison data. The data training portion assumes some familiarity with SAS or STATA.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A NOVEL PATH TO A SECOND CAREER
DESCRIPTION:Barbara Stark-Nemon\, author of award-winning novels “Even in Darkness” and “Hard Cider”\, lives\, writes\, cycles\, swims\, does fiber arts\, and gardens in Ann Arbor and Northport\, Michigan. She has degrees in English literature\, art history\, and speech-language pathology from the University of Michigan and worked with deaf and language disabled children. “Even in Darkness” is historical fiction based on a family story in 20th century Germany.  ”Hard Cider” is contemporary fiction set in northern Michigan.\n\nMs. Stark-Nemon will describe the path to her current career as a novelist\, from her story-telling grandfather to work as a speech-language therapist and teacher. A love of narrative is the common thread. Fictional elements woven into family stories\, personal experiences\, research\, and travel contributed to the writing of both her novels\, and a third novel-in-progress. Stark-Nemon will address the challenges and rewards of embarking on an encore career as a novelist.\n\nThis is the first in a three-lecture series. The subject is A Celebration of Local Authors. The next lecture will take place June 27\, 2019. The title is The Thriller Alchemist.

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. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s\, artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights
DESCRIPTION:Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights presents an enigmatic world filled with unexpected and unsettling sensory temptations. In this immersive installation of photographs and wallpaper\, Michigan-based photographer Jason DeMarte weaves together detailed images of fauna (birds\, caterpillars\, and moths) and flora (local plants and flowers). Each scene is set against ominous cloudy skies\, which rain melted ice cream\, whipped topping\, candies\, and glossy paint. Overburdened with decorations\, the flowers and plants begin to decay\, leaving the birds and insects unable to survive for long in this overly sweet environment. DeMarte’s illusionistic landscapes recall the long tradition of still life painting in Europe and America\, and a rich history of fantasy environments represented in literature and film—from Alice’s Wonderland to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Yet\, his images decidedly foreground the complicated visual circumstances of our contemporary moment and provoke us to consider this imagined and oversaturated world as analogous to our own.\n\nSupport for Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit\, Amelia and Eliot Relles\, and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Oshima Tsumugi Kimono
DESCRIPTION:Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan\, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty\, incredible softness\, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Six Senses of Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Art museums generally give primacy to the sense of sight. Religious and ritual objects\, on the other hand\, stimulate an array of multi-sensory experiences. Focusing on works from UMMA’s collection associated with different types of Japanese Buddhism\, we engage all of the six senses in this exhibition.\n \nSix senses are integral to Buddhist devotion: sight\, hearing\, smell\, touch\, taste\, and mind (or the activity of thinking\, including what is perceived via the other senses). The “Six Senses” gallery experience extends beyond vision to include: the sound of chanting and ritual implements\; the fragrance of incense\; the feel of bronze\, ceramic\, and silk\; and the creation of mental images. Our goal for visitors is to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and histories of objects used in Buddhist practice.\n\nLead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS\, DISASTERS\, CONSUMPTION\, LOSS\, AND JUSTICE\n \nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene\, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues\, the exhibition presents photography\, video\, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials\, disasters\, consumption\, loss\, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists\, including Sammy Baloji\, Liu Bolin\, Dana Levy\, Mary Mattingly\, Pedro Neves Marques\, Gabriel Orozco\, Trevor Paglen\, and Thomas Struth\, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness\, wonder\, and curiosity about the world to come.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \n  \n\nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith\, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art. Support for the exhibition is provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, UF Office of the Provost\, National Endowment for the Arts\, C. Frederick and Aase B.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Physics Graduate Student Symposium (PGSS) | The Role of Cell-Cell Contacts in Pattern Formation in Tissues: from Juvenile Zebrafish to Mammalian Embryos
DESCRIPTION:Many physicists see biology as very complex and messy\, and often it is. Certain problems in biology\, though\, serve as an elegant playground for physicists to develop quantitative AND predictive models. For example\, problems in biology in which cells generate forces to perform some function allow physicists to make ourselves useful to biologists\, our collaborators. In this talk\, I will take you on a journey from the retinae of juvenile zebrafish to the outer tissue layer of developing mammalian embryos. In juvenile zebrafish\, the cone photoreceptors in retinae form a precise crystalline lattice based on subtype (i.e.\, sensitivity to different wavelengths of light). We find that the defects in this lattice form lines\, called grain boundaries\, as the pattern forms\, not by subsequent defect motion. Based on this observation\, we propose a model in which cells of fixed fate (i.e.\, subtype) contact their neighbors of the same  subtype\, generating active forces for building the crystal. From there\, I will take you to an example in which cell fate is not fixed. In this stem cell culture system\, without any imposed chemical gradients and in the absence of many known endogenous gradients\, cells of initially unspecified fate differentiate into two types\, with one type localized to a ring at the boundary. We propose a model for this system in which mechanical stress biases fate and fate determines contractility. The role of cell-cell contacts and mechanics in pattern formation in developing tissues remains poorly understood. Luckily for us physicists\, these problems provide endless intellectual stimulation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Multi-Item Scale Development and Testing
DESCRIPTION:Standardized multi-item scales are more common in some disciplines than others. This 2-day course is designed to inspire participants from all disciplines that it is possible to develop your own high quality multi-item scales (or correctly adapt existing multi-item scales) and offers an introduction on how to do this. It covers the psychometric principles of question development while adding in principles of general questionnaire design. Focusing first on Classical Measurement Theory\, participants design their own multi-item scales. This is followed by a group discussion of existing multi-item scales. The course then introduces some basic statistical tools for assessing the reliability and dimensionality of multi-item scales and participants get to practice evaluating some existing scales in a computer lab session. The course finishes with an introduction to Item Response Theory.\n\nPrerequisite: There is no prerequisite\, but a little knowledge about questionnaire design\, multi-item scales and SPSS would be of value.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special Astronomy Talk | The Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey (S5)
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, more than a dozen new stellar streams in the Milky Way were discovered in the southern hemisphere with the Dark Energy Survey (DES). In this talk\, I will present an ongoing spectroscopic program S5\, which maps these southern streams with the 2df/AAOmega spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. S5 is the first systematic program pursuing a complete census of known streams in the southern hemisphere. The radial velocities and stellar metallicities from S5\, together with the proper motions from Gaia DR2\, provide a unique sample to understand the Milky Way halo populations\, the progenitors and formation of the streams\, the mass and shape of the Milky Way potential\, and to test the characteristics of dark matter. So far\, the S5 program has obtained the 6D+1 (metallicity) phase space information for 10 streams in the DES footprint\, all of which are the first-time measurements for these southern streams\, and we are expanding our program beyond the DES footprint to cover more southern streams. I will give an overview of the S5 program\, including target selection\, observation\, and data analysis\, and I will end with a discussion of the implications of the preliminary results from S5.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Speaking American English: A Communication Workshop for English Language Learners
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\n\nThe workshop will run from June 6 to August 15\, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. The program cost is $275.00\, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin. \n\nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

SUMMARY:Performance:Kaia Kater
DESCRIPTION:A Montreal-born Grenadian Canadian\, Kaia Kater grew up between two worlds: her family’s deep ties to folk music and the years she spent soaking up Appalachian music in West Virginia. Her old-time banjo-picking skills\, deft arrangements\, and songwriting abilities have landed her in the spotlight in North America and the UK\, garnering critical acclaim from outlets such as NPR\, CBC Radio\, Rolling Stone\, BBC Music\, and No Depression. Kaia started her career early\, crafting her first EP\, \"Old Soul\" (2013)\, when she was just out of high school. Since then\, she’s gone on to release two more albums\, \"Sorrow Bound\" (2015) and \"Nine Pin\" (2016). Her second album wove between hard-hitting songs touching on social issues like the Black Lives Matter movement (“Rising Down”) and more personal narratives speaking to life and love in the digital age (“Saint Elizabeth”). \"Nine Pin\" sent Kaia on an 18-month touring journey from Ireland to Iowa\, including stops at The Kennedy Center\, Hillside Festival and London's O2 Shepherd's Bush. For her third album\, \"Grenades\,\" she has taken a decidedly different direction\, choosing to lean into a wider array of sounds and styles\, in order to convey a wider array of emotions and topics\, most notably her paternal ancestry.  Grenades has been nominated for a 2019 JUNO award for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year. Grand Rapids singer-songwriter Olivia Mainville opens.
