The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

The Dynamic Football laminated paper works explore compositions of action\, allowing the artist to exploit the properties of the medium. The pieces are constructed by gluing many layers of paper over wire armatures. When dry\, the sculptures are painted in an often splashy\, sketchy style. Wirtz’ silly animal works are what the artist is best known for\, and they take shape in his Goetzville\, Michigan studio.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059349@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190919T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190919T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

The exhibition also includes nearly 100 I.D. photos of migrant children from a Texas holding center. Buentello took the photos in 2014 while working for an intake agency.\n\n\"Focusing on images from the US media sources that exposed the violence of migrants’ dehumanization\, vulnerability\, fear\, loss\, and criminalization\, the paintings document the embodiment of state-authorized brutality and erasures of personhood.\" -Ruth Leonela Buentello\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Evaluating the results of the 2019 National Elections DESCRIPTION:This presentation evaluates the state of democracy in South Africa over the last 25 years. How respected and stable are democratic institutions following the historic elections of 1994? Has the African National Congress\, the ruling party\, successfully addressed the harmful legacy of apartheid? Has the government realized the ideals of the country’s first\, democratically elected president\, Nelson Mandela\, to eradicate poverty and promote dignity? We focus on the 2019 National Elections to answer these questions.\n\nAnne Pitcher is a Professor in the Departments of Political Science and Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan. Her current research examines party politics\, urban political economy\, and state-business relations in Africa. She has conducted fieldwork\, survey and archival research in Angola\, Mozambique\, Kenya\, Zambia\, and South Africa. She has published several books and dozens of articles in scholarly journals. She formerly served as President of the African Studies Association.\n\nThis is the second in a six-lecture series. The subject is South Africa: Past\, Present\, and a Look Forward.

Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N.

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.

Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role.

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 UID:63803-15884065@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

In place of visible objects\, each plinth is equipped with a speaker from which we hear the word “thing” sung—edited out of and isolated from a range of pop songs. The result is an amusing and thoughtful exploration of language\, meaning\, and the conventions of museum presentation and spectatorship.\n \nThe installation\, like much of Berlin-based artist Ceal Floyer’s art\, is characteristically austere\, but its visual simplicity masks a more complicated message—often a wry cerebral twist the artist creates through language-based symbols and aesthetic devices. Floyer’s work is rooted in conceptual art\, in which the idea\, delivered through words or acts that undercut or supersede formal qualities\, is the essence of the artwork.\n\nLead support  for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan College of Engineering and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W.

Shells and Shell-Rings: The Woodland Period use of Mollusks at Mound Field - Julian E. Schultz Doc Student Anthropology DESCRIPTION:PhD candidate Lauren Pratt will share the results of her research this research in Peru this summer. Although persistent use of sites over time is a common theme in archaeology\, rapid changes in subsistence\, economy\, and technology throughout most of the world over the past few centuries means that anthropologists rarely have the opportunity to see such persistence in action. In the Chachapoyas cultural area of northern Peru\, however\, caves and rockshelters remain in regular use by local agriculturalists. Previous work in the region (Church 1996) suggests that in some cases modern use of these caves provides useful analogs to prehistoric behavior. Here\, I discuss a variety of caves and rockshelters surveyed in July 2019\, highlighting modern human activities and possible analogies to the past.\n\nFirst year graduate student Julian Schultz will share some of the results from Florida State University's excavations (in 2016) at a Swift Creek/Weeden Island ring-midden\, where he completed his undergrad. Julian analyzed the mollusk remains from three shell units\, and in doing so found there to be a steep decline in the prevalence of a key resource\, the eastern oyster\, as the site's occupation waned. His talk will be primarily focused around this decline\, the factors that may have caused it\, and how this statistical drop-off potentially relates to the site's eventual abandonment. In addition\, he will explore how this statistical feature places Mound Field into the prehistoric landscape\, both in the Southeast and (to a degree) in a more global sense.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nThe seminar will be followed by a reception in the IOE Commons (Room 1709) from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.\n\nTitle:\nStochastic Decomposition for Risk-Averse Multistage Stochastic Programming\n\nAbstract:\nMean-risk multistage stochastic programming (MR-MSP) provides a framework for modeling sequential decision-making problems under uncertainty and risk. However\, MR-MSP problems are difficult to solve due to their large-scale nature and the incorporation of risk measures in the objective. This work derives multistage stochastic decomposition (MSD) for solving large-scale MR-MSP instances with deviation and quantile risk measures. We show that risk-averse MSD converges asymptotically to an optimal solution and report on a computational study on the application of MSD to long-term hydrothermal scheduling. The study provides several insights into how optimal solutions vary across different risk levels as well as across different risk measures. In particular\, the results reveal that conditional value at-risk exhibits desirable control over extreme scenarios than other risk measures.\n\nKeywords: \nMultistage stochastic programming\, stochastic decomposition\, interior sampling\, mean-risk measures.\n\nBio:\nLewis Ntaimo is a Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Texas A&M University and has been with the university since 2004.

We know that these vehicles can fly in idealized conditions\, but will it take for their use to really “take-off” in society? This presentation will start by reviewing the enablers of these new vehicles. Then\, we’ll note a number of pressing issues being examined at Penn State that may limit their wide-spread use. For example\, small rotors can easily accrete ice in less-than-perfect atmospheric conditions. When designed for maximum performance\, they can be too noisy to operate in an urban environment — requiring trade-offs between vehicle performance and societal acceptance\, and meriting a careful engineering design of their landing and take-off procedures.\n\nThese vehicles typically depend on new methods of flight control and the business cases for many of them assume highly automated operations allowing for reduced human staffing levels. In a broader sense\, these vehicles\, and their operations\, are so novel compared to traditional methods for certification and operational approval that the aviation community needs to envision new bases for safety cases\, including new concepts for human-autonomy teaming\, new requirements for adaptive\, contextualized behavior\, and new methods for modeling and assessing safety.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nAMY R.

At the same time\, fracton phase contains subextensive ground-state degeneracy and the restricted mobility of quasiparticle which exclude itself from the TQFT paradigm. In this talk\, I will present a theoretical framework on higher rank Chern-Simons theory in 3D as the low energy effective theory for Fracton phases. In addition\, I will mention the emergent fractonic phenomenon in plaquette paramagnetic crystal which prompts an algebraic quantum liquid phase with a 'bose Fermi surface'.\n UID:65861-16662139@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65861 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190903T103851 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190919T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190919T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Critical Conversations: Media Studies at the Intersection of Theory and Practice DESCRIPTION:Established in Fall 2017\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media’s speaker series creates a space for film and media scholars and artists/practitioners to engage in dialogues about past and contemporary topics that influence media industries\, audiences\, and society at large.

But while we have yet to lose a single bird species to our rapidly changing climate\, birds and other creatures are currently adapting and responding. Studying changing bird communities over decades to centuries\, Dr. Tingley’s work demonstrates the complex ways that species are responding to climate change\, often by shifting in space and traveling in time.

What were they looking for\, in the faces and bodies of those in bondage? What\, if any\, aesthetic\, cultural and racial understanding did these photographers bring to their craft? This discussion will explore these questions in the work of Louis Vossion\, a French photographer commissioned by his government to visually recreate the “types” of people living in Khartoum\, Sudan\, in 1882. With over 150 photographs\, Vossion created a visual encyclopedia of a city full of slaves\, a city that in 2 years' time would be completely changed by the Mahdiyya rebellion. These pictures thus form a museum by themselves\, an ode to a world that was\, in Vossion’s lifetime\, to be completely and violently changed.\n\nEve M. Troutt Powell is the Christopher H.

Her work focuses on disentangling genetic heterogeneity in complex traits\, and on discovering rare alleles that cause common disorders. From her ground-breaking doctoral dissertation that transformed evolutionary biology to her formative work proving the existence of a major gene for a complex trait that demonstrated the genetic inheritance of breast cancer\, Dr. King has contributed significantly to the advancement of scientific knowledge of genetics. Most recently\, her laboratory developed and patented a targeted capture and massively parallel sequencing approach (BROCA) that detects mutations in breast and ovarian cancer genes. \n\nA leading human rights advocate\, Dr. King pioneered the development of genomics tools for human rights investigations including use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing to match kidnapped children to possible maternal relatives after the end of Argentinian dictatorship of 1975-1983. Her approach is now used by governmental and United Nations forensic teams worldwide to identify remains of victims of extra-judicial execution and missing soldiers. \n\nDr. King received her PhD in Genetics from the University of California at Berkeley\, and her postdoctoral training at UC San Francisco. A professor at UC Berkeley from 1976-1995\, she has been the American Cancer Society Professor of Medical Genetics and Genome Sciences at the University of Washington since 1995. She is a member of the National Academy of Medicine (1994)\, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1999)\, and the National Academy of Sciences (2005) and is a past President of the American Society of Human Genetics. Among her many honors\, she was awarded the Lasker-Koshland Special Achievement Award in Medical Science (2014)\, the National Medal of Science (2016) and the Advocacy Award of the American Society of Human Genetics (2018).\nA reception\, sponsored by UM Precision Health\, will immediately follow the lecture.

DESCRIPTION: \n Over the last few years a significant effort has been directed towards unconventional imaging techniques\, such as microscopy without lenses as it can overcome some of the drawbacks associated with tradition optical microscopy\, that rely on objective lenses\, which results in a trade-off between the field of view and the resolution. Thus lens-less microscopy allows imaging and analysis over a wide area\, enabling high throughput measurements\, in addition to being cost-effective and portable. In this type of microscopy\, the images are computationally reconstructed from in-line holograms\, which result from the interference between the scattered optical wave from the sample and the directly transmitted wave. Here\, I will present about lens-free on-chip microscopy designs\, image reconstruction and its utility towards a wide range of applications related to sizing of nanoparticles\, nanoparticle-aggregation\, bio-sensing of pathogens and rare cancer cells\, characterization of polymer degradation\, material properties and rheology. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nAniruddha Ray UID:62913-15494564@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62913 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191004T123050 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190919T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190919T173000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Pitching Yourself to Startups (September 2019) DESCRIPTION:Venture For America has helped over 1\,000 recent grads find jobs in startups across the country.

Her song “The Weight of the World” was named as the #4 Best Folk Song of the last decade by NYC’s premiere AAA radio station\, WFUV and was recorded by Judy Collins. From her beginnings in New York City as a classically trained actress with The National Shakespeare Company\, to the coffeehouses of Greenwich Village where she began playing her original songs\, to her move to East Nashville in 2009\, to her most recent release\, \"That Kind Of Girl\,: what ties all of her work together is a palpable empathy for the small struggles of the human condition. Rock critic Dave Marsh\, long a fan\, wrote taht \"Amy Speace’s songs hang together like a short story collection\, united by a common vantage point and common predicaments … it’s a gift to hear a heart so modest even when it’s wide open.\" She comes to Michigan with a brand-new release\, \"Me and the Ghost of Charlemagne.\"\n\nThis show is free at the door for Ark members at the Solo level and above.
