Assuming desired coordination of an unmanned aerial system (UAS) team is the solution of Laplace equation\, Lagrangian and Eulerian continuum mechanics will be applied to safely plan UAS coordination in a finite airspace. The Lagrangian continuum mechanics is used to manage large-scale coordination of a UAS team in a cluttered environment when the total number of agents is fixed. In this context\, we optimize a large-scale continuum deformation coordination\, and formally specify and verify collision-free collective motion with minimal communication and computation overhead\, enabling distance between individual UAVs to significantly change while assuring the vehicles do not collide. Furthermore\, the Eulerian continuum mechanics can be applied to achieve freely scalable coordination and manage traffic coordination in a finite airspace. Using the Eulerian description of continuum mechanics\, the space and time allocated to an individual UAS can be effectively managed and the airspace capacity can be maximized through controlling UAS inflow and outflow at the airspace boundaries with minimum computation overhead. In particular\, the airspace can be classified into planned and unplanned spaces by dynamically updating planned-unplanned airspace boundaries while nominal coordination is obtained as the solution of a governing PDE with spatiotemporal cyber-physical parameters. The unifying nature of Laplace equation and its application to Aerospace control problems will also be highlighted.\n\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nDr. Hossein Rastgoftar is an Assistant Research Scientist in the Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of Michigan.

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.

In Pen & Ink Queens\, Cavanagh draws inspiration from medieval and renaissance-era garments to adorn quirky\, queenly figures. Cavanagh works in a style that is hyper-detailed and intricate\, so she remains present during the creative process. A true Michigander\, Cavanagh was born and raised in Southeast Michigan\, attended U-M\, and currently works in Detroit. Cavanagh makes a concerted effort to exhibit as much as possible in her home state\, and when she is not in her studio\, you can find her cooking\, practicing yoga or playing with her cat\, Benji.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

However\, this strategy can succeed only if the synthetic chromosomes are faithfully transmitted to each daughter cell upon cell division. Eukaryotic cells use the kinetochore\, an immensely complex protein machine\, to segregate their native chromosome during cell division. We are initiating an effort to engineer a synthetic kinetochore to faithfully segregate synthetic chromosomes. This ambitious goal encompasses three aims. First\, we will use bottom-up reverse engineering to yield deep insight into function and regulation of the kinetochore\, potentially exposing unexpected gaps in our understanding. Second\, we will identify functionally necessary kinetochore components from those that are its ‘evolutionary legacy’. This is necessary to reveal strategies for simplifying the design of the synthetic kinetochore. Third\, we will establish the blueprint for designing a synthetic\, orthogonal segregation machine that specifically controls the inheritance of synthetic chromosomes.

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:63992-16059356@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:20190926T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T180000 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.

South Africa’s first racially inclusive election on April 26\, 1994 literally and symbolically marked this legal ending\, after four years of tense and at times violent negotiations between the leaders of Apartheid South Africa and those of the antiapartheid movements. \n\nHowever\, 25 years after this hopeful and euphoric historical moment the dead are still being counted\, the transmutation of formal apartheid into social and economic apartheid is all but complete and the legacy of Apartheid’s crimes endure – threatening the very dream of Nelson Mandela’s vision for a nonracial\, nonsexist\, equal and just political system in South Africa. This lecture will critically engage the political\, legal and moral failures of state responsibilities to international humanitarian and human rights law and the state’s political\, legal and moral management of the freedom moment.\n\nYazier Henry teaches at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. He is a public intellectual\, strategist\, conflict management expert\, teacher\, facilitator\, scholar\, professional human rights advocate\, and poet. His research and writing priorities focus on the interrelationship and intersections of structural\, systemic\, institutional\, and administrative violence. He is particularly interested in the politics and economics of human rights and the social violence of the law. His current work is on how state violence becomes systemically structured and institutionalized during political transitions in the global south.\n\nThis is the third in a six-lecture series. The subject is South Africa: Past\, Present\, and a Look Forward. The next lecture will be October 3\, 2019. The title is: Education Inequality and Income Inequality in South Africa since the End of Apartheid.

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.

The gallery highlights five main themes that were discussed: Stability and Security\, Interpersonal Difficulties\, Rooting Factors\, Personal Growth\, and Contribution.\n\n“I wish I could help out people… Imma give them everything.

It will engage the anti-normative forms of living Blackness has enabled. Given these histories and contemporary articulations\, it asks: Who can claim Blackness? Under what conditions and with what effect can one make this claim? To what extent does claiming Blackness lead to social change? What are the conditions for coalition around claiming Blackness? Does racism persist\, even amongst people of color\, in spite of this coalitional claim?\n\nThe symposium is free and open to the public and will include a special screening of the documentary Whose Streets? (2018) and the short What Kind of Power Y’All Got (2016) with a Q&A with the filmmakers to follow in Lecture Hall II of the Modern Language Building on Friday\, September 27 at 7 PM.\n\nIf you have any questions\, please contact Damani Partridge (djpartri@umich.edu)\n\nView the schedule online: myumi.ch/zxKNx UID:66703-16915706@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66703 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:african diaspora,African Studies,Anthropology,Film,immigration,Multicultural,Multidisciplinary Design LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T104044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T170000 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.

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:63803-15884071@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.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820743@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times\, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality\, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind.

Gallimore\, Co-Chair\nAssistant Professor Benjamin A. Jorns\, Co-Chair\nProfessor John E. Foster\, Cognate\nDr. Richard R. Hofer\, Member\n\nPresentation Info:\n\nThursday\, September 26th 2 PM\nJohnsons Room\, LEC\n\nThis work examines two innovative technologies in high-power electric propulsion – magnetic shielding and nesting channels. Magnetic shielding increases the lifetime of Hall thrusters by three orders of magnitude\, while nested Hall thrusters allow these devices to be scaled to the very high powers necessary for Mars missions. Despite these advancements\, there remain open questions about the exact implications on Hall thruster operation. These open questions pose large risks for transitioning the thrusters to flight. One of the most critical is how neutral gas particles emanating from various sources influence the overall performance and lifetime of these thrusters. There exist several sources of neutrals such as the background facility pressure\, the cathode\, and adjacent channels on nested Hall thrusters. As such\, we investigate here the neutral density impacts on the operation of high-power Hall thrusters. In summary\, we show that neutrals shift and compress the plasma\, which leads to an increase thrust and efficiency with higher neutral density. Additionally\, we find that these neutrals can change the near-wall ion behavior\, which affects the erosion and overall lifetime. Ultimately\, we have improved our understanding of the mechanisms behind neutral impacts on the performance and lifetime of magnetically shielded and nested Hall thrusters.

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:\nReference Pricing for Healthcare Services\n\nAbstract:\nThe traditional payment system between an insurer and providers does not incentivize providers to limit their prices nor patients to choose less expensive providers\, hence contributing to high insurer expenditures. Reference pricing has been proposed as a way to better align incentives and control the rising costs of healthcare. In this payment system\, the insurer determines the maximum amount that can be reimbursed for a procedure (reference price). If a patient selects a provider charging more than the reference price\, the patient is responsible for the entire portion above it. We propose a model to analyze the reference pricing payment scheme. Our model incorporates an insurer who chooses the reference price\, multiple competing price-setting providers\, and heterogeneous patients who select a provider based on a multinomial logit choice model. Our goal is to understand how reference pricing compares with payment systems where patients pay a fixed or a variable amount. We find that the highest-priced providers under a fixed payment system cut their prices under reference pricing. Moreover\, reference pricing often outperforms the fixed and the variable payment system both in terms of expected patient utility and insurer cost\, unless the procedure cost is high in relation to the reference price (i.e.\, the reference price is low). The entire system also benefits from reference pricing despite a loss in provider profit due to lower prices. Furthermore\, reference pricing with a variable portion below the reference price tends to perform worse than reference pricing with a fixed payment below the reference price.\n\nBio:\nDr. Shima Nassiri is an assistant professor of technology and operations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Her research interests involve (a) designing coordination mechanisms in supply chain and its applications in healthcare and public health policy using game theory and optimization techniques\, and (b) studying the behavioral aspects of healthcare operations using econometrics and data-driven methods. She is particularly interested in studying the healthcare policies that are aiming to reduce healthcare expenditure by moving towards performance-based care. She received her Ph.D. from the Foster School of Business at the University of Washington.

A follow-on to the still-active OCO-2 mission\, OCO-3 will bring not only a new vantage point but new techniques and new technologies to NASA's carbon dioxide observations. OCO-3 is a 3-band grating spectrometer that measures sunlight reflected from Earth’s surface\, and it can make extremely precise measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide\, sensing changes of less than 1ppm (relative to today’s concentrations that are about 400ppm). The space station circles Earth from 52 degrees north to 52 degrees south latitudes — about the latitudes of London and Patagonia. The vast majority of Earth's cities and agricultural lands\, responsible for most of our planet's carbon absorption and emissions\, fall within this zone. Where OCO-2's polar orbit takes it over each location at exactly the same time of day\, the space station's orbit will put OCO-3 over each location at a slightly different time on every orbit. OCO-3 will demonstrate a new technique to measure urban carbon emissions\, volcanic eruptions and other local carbon sources from space. This scanning technique\, enabled by the instrument's ability to swivel and point rapidly\, produces a tightly woven blanket of measurements over an area of about 50 by 50 miles (80 by 80 kilometers) — about the size of the Los Angeles Basin.\nAnnmarie Eldering\, the Project Scientist for OCO-3 will share some of the latest news and data from OCO-3\, as well as the goals for the three year measurement campaign from the ISS.

Finding the South in the Global South DESCRIPTION:Is there such a thing as ‘world literature from the global south’? Perhaps the strongest conjunction between the theories of the global south and world literature is the interest in the political scope of literature. How can we imagine a literary canon that consolidates or prompts modes of political action\, thereby bringing the political imperatives of the south or of regionalism to bear on the global scope of world literature? It sounds like a great deal of detective work. As such\, this talk will present the case of uncanny affiliation between detective fiction north and south of the Mediterranean\, starting from Sicily and Alexandria going via Paris\, Liège and mediaeval Arabia. Whodunit? Everybody. That is what world literature means. But why? That is the imperative of the global south.\n\nThis event is made possible by the Andrew W.

Yet\, as Artemis Leontis reveals\, Palmer’s most spectacular performance was her daily revival of ancient Greek life. For almost half a century\, dressed in handmade Greek tunics and sandals\, she sought to make modern life freer and more beautiful through a creative engagement with the ancients. Along the way\, she crossed paths with other seminal modern artists such as Natalie Clifford Barney\, Renée Vivien\, Isadora Duncan\, Susan Glaspell\, George Cram Cook\, Richard Strauss\, Dimitri Mitropoulos\, Nikos Kazantzakis\, George Seferis\, Henry Miller\, Paul Robeson\, and Ted Shawn.\n\nBrilliant and gorgeous\, with floor-length auburn hair\, Palmer was a wealthy New York debutante who studied Greek at Bryn Mawr College before turning her back on conventional society to live a lesbian life in Paris. She later followed Raymond Duncan (brother of Isadora) and his wife to Greece and married the Greek poet Angelos Sikelianos in 1907. With single-minded purpose\, Palmer re-created ancient art forms\, staging Greek tragedy with her own choreography\, costumes\, and even music. Having exhausted her inheritance\, she returned to the United States in 1933\, was blacklisted for criticizing American imperialism during the Cold War\, and was barred from returning to Greece until just before her death.\n\nDrawing on hundreds of newly discovered letters and featuring many previously unpublished photographs\, this biography vividly re-creates the unforgettable story of a remarkable nonconformist whom one contemporary described as “the only ancient Greek I ever knew.” UID:65991-16678394@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65991 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,Discussion,Film,History,Lecture,Women's Studies LOCATION:202 S.

During implantation\, inflammatory pathways are activated and important for successful implantation\, but during the second trimester\, intrauterine inflammation is a grave threat to the continuation of pregnancy. An investigation of the gene expression changes during opossum pregnancy led us to propose and test a model for the origin of eutherian implantation and pregnancy. In brief: if we take the opossum gestation as a model of the situation at the most recent common ancestor of marsupials and placental mammals\, the evidence suggests that an acute inflammation is the result of the attachment of the trophoblast to the uterine epithelium. The difference between opossum and the eutherians is the outcome: In opossum the inflammation directly leads to parturition\, while in eutherians inflammation never leads to neutrophil infiltration and soon is turned off. I will present evidence suggesting that one key innovation to achieve sustainable implantation was the origin of the decidual cell\, which prevents the recruitment of neutrophils and thus prevents the development of an acute inflammation during implantation.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/cec0A_iwmLI UID:65469-16603596@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65469 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190903T133037 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Hub Studio - Career Fair Prep DESCRIPTION:Planning to attend a career fair this fall?

Battle Scars: The Middle East After the Arab Uprisings DESCRIPTION:Eight years after the dizzying hopes raised by the Arab Spring\, the Middle East is consumed by a bewildering array of conflicts\, from wars in Libya\, Yemen\, Syria and Iraq to new popular uprisings in Algeria and Sudan.

In Occupation Series\, Mahama focused on the jute sacks that are synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works. Fabricated in Southeast Asia\, the sacks are imported by the Ghana Cocoa Boards to transport cocoa beans and eventually end up as multi-functional objects\, used for the transportation of food\, charcoal\, and other commodities. Often exploring the potentialities and failures of modernity\, Mahama’s work uses materials and forms that present us with alternative perspectives through which to view the conditions of contemporary society\, labor\, and the “politics of the hand.” His most recent work\, A Straight Line Through the Carcass of History\, has also dealt with forms related to the second world war and bacteria life. Mahama obtained an MFA in painting and sculpture in 2013 and a BFA in painting in 2010 at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi\, Ghana. His work has been included in the 56th and 57th Venice Biennale\, and has been exhibited internationally. He was an artist-in-residence with the Berliner Künstlerprogramm in 2018.\n\n Co-presented with the Institute for the Humanities.

In fact\, baths were so valued that their patronage became a powerful public relations tool and greatly enhanced one's popular and political clout. It is hardly surprising\, then\, that as a spectacular gift to the people\, the emperors commissioned eight magnificent baths in the city of Rome between 25 BCE - 337 CE. This lecture brings the lived and visual experience of Roman baths into dialogue with the original appearance of these monuments\, while also addressing the underlying ambitions of imperial patrons.\n\nThis lecture analyzes the extensive decoration of the best preserved of these complexes\, the Baths of Caracalla (inaugurated 216 C.E.). This decoration was a carefully strategized ensemble\, meant to impart a particular message to a diverse Roman audience. I examine the subtext of this sumptuous display\, addressing the visual experience of the baths and elucidating the decoration's critical role in articulating innuendo and advancing imperial agendas. The case studies addressed herein\, ranging from architectural to freestanding sculpture and mosaic\, demonstrate that endowing monumental baths was a concern of dynastic legitimacy and imperial largess\, and that decorative programs articulated these themes by consistently drawing analogies between the subjects of the decoration and the emperor who had paid for it. Decorative choices were by no means incidental\, but rather purposeful decisions by Caracalla and his architect to honor the emperor and to consolidate his power and reputation.\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor Society of the Archaeological Institute of America\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this lecture\, please contact the Kelsey Museum Education Office (734-647-4167) as soon as possible.

Each dinner is hosted by a local individual we believe can bring a lot to the metaphorical (and actual) table and free food is provided to all who attend. This dinner will feature food from Baba Dari Mediterranean Grill including Chicken Shawarma bowls\, Falafel bowls\, and Fattoush Salad\n\nThis month's host is Dominique Canning. Here's a little more about her:\nDominique is a Ph.D. candidate in Linguistics (with a focus on sociolinguistics and phonetics) and in her 4th year at the University of Michigan. She graduated in 2016 from Eastern Michigan University (EMU) where she was part of the McNair Scholars Program.\n\nDominique’s research is partially motivated by her own identity as a queer woman of color. She identifies as aromantic asexual and is frequently conscious of how she uses language to navigate through both academic and non-academic spaces. At EMU\, she researched the discussion around asexual inclusion in queer spaces online. Though she is not currently looking at asexuality specifically\, she looks at queerness and language in her current research. Most recently\, she examined the way language was used to construct Titus Andromedon's identity as a Black gay man in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. In her future research\, she plans to look at how queer people of color use language to construct their own identities in various spaces. \n\nAll dinners are hosted 5:30 to 7pm at 1443 Washtenaw.
