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. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

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:63992-16059362@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:20191002T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191002T180000 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.

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\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\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:58562-14511277@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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:63803-15884076@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.

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:63627-15820748@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:20191002T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191002T170000 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. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased\; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning\; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self\; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.\n\nLead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Information\, and College of Engineering.

Stop by during Jamaica's office hours! Jamaica Jordan is a senior\, Pre-Medicine student with a major in Gender & Health. Jamaica grew up in Detroit and attended Detroit Public Schools. Jamaica’s favorite activities are to watch movies and travel. Working for Semester in Detroit for the past 2 years has helped her grow in leadership\, team building\, communication\, and utilizing university resources. After interning at Eastern Market Corporation through Semester in Detroit\, summer 2017\, she was given the opportunity to continue working for Eastern Market the following summer\, working in the Market’s Nutrition Educational programs. In Jamaica’s previous three years at the university she has continued to be lifted by her mentors and values the work of mentorship\, this has lead her to accept a position with the Office of Multicultural Initiatives as an Academic Success Partner mentoring freshmen and sophomore students. The past three years at the University and the past 2 years at Semester in Detroit has continued to bring blessings of new and challenging experiences.

Another approach would be to adopt a state-wide list system of proportional representation\, as described in Bob Davidow’s recent article in the Wayne Law Review. With a state-wide system\, there would be no district line to draw -- hence no gerrymandering. The proposed system would not only reduce the amount of money needed for election\, but also reduce the influence of the wealthy and well-connected. Demographic changes would not affect the operation of the system. An independent redistricting commission would do none of these things. \n\nThis course for those 50 and over will be led by Instructor Bob Davidow\, Professor of Law (retired) from George Mason University.

In de Sitter\, we examine what happens to massive gravity as its mass approaches the partially massless value. In this limit\, if the interactions are chosen to be precisely those of the 'candidate' non-linear partially massless theory\, the strong coupling scale is raised\, giving the theory a wider range of applicability. In anti-de Sitter and flat spacetime\, we show how shift symmetries acting on the vector modes emerge from massive spin-2 theories fixing the non-linear structure and discuss whether these theories have amplitudes that can be constructed via soft substracted recursion.

Some paradata\, such as response times\, enjoy a long tradition in survey research\, but others\, such as window/tab switching\, are only rarely used in survey research. In this talk\, I focus on the usefulness and usability of JavaScript \"OnBlur\" functions informing about how often and for how long respondents switch away from web surveys. For this purpose\, I present the results of two empirical studies: the first study explores the impact of on-device multitasking\, such as switching away to check social media notifications\, on response behavior. The second study\, in contrast\, focuses on the consequences of looking up answers online for measuring political knowledge. The talk ends with a discussion of further fields of application for JavaScript \"OnBlur\" functions in survey research.

How would you respond? Would you protect or condemn your friend? What makes dilemmas like these so vexing is that they pit two fundamental drives against one another: protecting those we love versus abiding by universal rules. Here we demonstrate that when people are presented with scenarios forcing them to decide whether to protect or condemn the perpetrators of crimes\, they demonstrate an extremely strong bias to protect close (vs. distant) others\, and the size the of this effect increases along with the severity of the crime they observe. Moreover\, using event-related potentials (ERPs) we show that the amplitude of the P300\, an early neural component occurring around 300ms that is sensitive to expectancy violations\, was greater when people thought about close (vs. distant) others committing crimes and predicted people’s decisions to protect versus condemn perpetrators’ behaviors. However\, we show that the behavioral bias toward close others is attenuated by a brief self-distancing manipulation. Preliminary cross-cultural work shows that the bias is also present but attenuated among a Japanese sample\, suggesting that cultural factors may modulate the balance between loyalty and justice. These findings underscore the importance of studying the role of close relationships in moral reasoning.

Although central nervous system (CNS) tissue has the innate capacity to repair the local environment that develops after SCI lacks sufficient factors that promote regeneration and has an abundance of factors that inhibit regeneration. Many strategies have been attempted to aid in the regeneration of CNS tissue\, yet re-entry into intact spared tissue remains inadequately low. This is due to the complexity of the spinal cord microenvironment post injury and the barriers that must be addressed to elicit adequate regeneration. The Shea lab has developed multi-channel poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) bridges to promote spinal cord regeneration and restore functional losses. These bridges are biodegradable and provide a temporary structure that promotes regeneration for between 2 and 6 months post-implantation. The bridges have an interconnected pore structure\, that allows infiltration of endogenous cell populations\, including macrophages\, Schwann cells\, oligodendrocytes. Additionally\, the bridge mechanically stabilizes the injury with tissue ingrowth and reduces secondary injury and axonal dieback. Longitudinal channels encourage axons to regenerate into the bridge with cells aligned along this major axis. Both motor and sensory axons have been identified in bridge channels. These bridges also serve as a platform for delivery of therapeutics including drugs\, cells\, and notably lentivirus.\n \nThis dissertation investigated the use of lentiviral gene therapy from multi-channel bridges to barriers to regeneration during acute and chronic phases of SCI. We investigated myelination of regenerating axons by over-expression of platelet-derived growth factor-AA (PDGF) and noggin either alone or in combination in an acute mouse SCI model. The combination of noggin + PDGF enhanced total myelination of regenerating axons relative to either factor alone and importantly\, enhanced functional recovery relative to the control condition. The increase in myelination was consistent with an increase in oligodendrocyte-derived myelin\, which was also associated with a greater density of cells of an oligodendroglial lineage relative to each factor individually and control conditions. We investigated synergistic effects of anti-inflammatory and regenerative factors by bi-cistronic delivery of NT-3 and IL-10 using PLG bridges after acute SCI. The combination of IL-10+NT-3 enhanced axonal growth and oligodendrocyte myelinated axon density significantly over control This resulted in increased locomotor functional recovery compared to IL-10 or NT-3 alone but increased hypersensitivity compared to IL-10 alone. Furthermore\, we observed a strong positive correlation between oligodendrocyte myelinated axon density and functional recovery. Lastly\, we investigated regeneration using the multi-channel bridge implanted into a chronic SCI following surgical resection of necrotic tissue. We characterized the dynamic injury response and noted that scar formation decreased at 4 and 8 weeks post injury (wpi)\, yet macrophage infiltration increased between 4 and 8 wpi. Subsequently\, scar tissue was resected and bridges were implanted at 4 and 8 wpi. We observed robust axon growth into the bridge and remyelination at 6 months post initial injury. Axon densities were increased for 8 week bridge implantation relative to 4 week bridge implantation\, whereas greater myelination\, particularly by Schwann cells\, was observed with 4 week bridge implantation. Taken together\, these results show the bridges as a great tool to manipulate and investigate the spinal cord microenvironment to improve functional outcomes.

The Hall thrusters (HTs) being flown on the PPE will operate at three times the power of current state-of-the-art HTs and utilize magnetic shielding\, which greatly increase the wear life of the thrusters. Associated with these advances in technical capability are uncertainties regarding the plasma properties of the exhaust plume\, particularly the low density plume exiting sideways from the thrusters. To better predict the erosive power of the plasma plume and how the plume might interact with the PPE and future spacecraft\, NASA is flying the Plasma Diagnostics Package (PDP). The PDP data will refine plasma models for predicting the behavior of high-power HT systems on future missions. This presentation will describe a brief history of the PDP project\, basic Hall thruster plume physics\, the plasma physics behind the PDP sensor design\, and current status of the PDP project.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nWensheng Huang received a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2011 and BS degrees in Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2006. His dissertation was on the use of optical diagnostics to study Hall thruster erosion under the tutelage of Prof. Alec D. Gallimore. Wensheng is currently a researcher in the Electric Propulsion Systems branch at the NASA Glenn Research Center. He is the Principle Investigator for the Plasma Diagnostics Package (PDP) that will be flying on the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE)\, the first element of NASA's Moon-orbiting Gateway. He is also the diagnostics lead for the Solar Electric Propulsion Hall thruster project\, which will also be flying on the PPE.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

The Turkish language works of Yunus Emre\, Kaygusuz Abdal and the hagiography of Otman Baba allows us to situate saintly figures who functioned in the Turkish vernacular into the larger historical context of Islamic cultural history of Anatolia. In the process\, I identify and describe in broad strokes the fault lines that ran between saintly figures/Sufis who expressed themselves primarily\, even exclusively\, in the Turkish vernacular and other Sufi and non-Sufi Muslim learned elites who foregrounded their expertise in Arabic and Persian instead\, even when they composed their works in Turkish.\n\nAhmet T. Karamustafa is Professor of History at the University of Maryland\, College Park. His expertise is in the social and intellectual history of Sufism in particular and Islamic piety in general from the tenth through the fifteenth century. His publications include God’s Unruly Friends(University of Utah Press\, 1994) and Sufism: The Formative Period (Edinburgh University Press & University of California Press\, 2007). He is currently working on a book project titled Vernacular Islam: Everyday Muslim Religious Life in Medieval Anatolia (co-authored with Cemal Kafadar) as well as a monograph on the history of early medieval Sufism titled The Flowering of Sufism.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor of the building.

This conference will convene international experts and practitioners to examine how these core functions contribute to financial inclusion\, poverty allevation\, and a more inclusive economy – and what could be improved.\n\nThe conference contributes to a research initiative undertaken by the University of Michigan’s Center on Finance\, Law & Policy\, in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to consider how the role of a central bank could evolve in the future and enable central banks to make greater contributions toward financial inclusion. Ultimately\, the research intends to identify technologies\, processes\, or tools that could benefit a central bank in supporting public policy objectives related to inclusion\, and consider whether other sectors\, including philanthropy\, might have a role to play in supporting the development of those tools. \n\nRegistration to the event is free. Speakers and attendees will include individuals from standards-setting bodies\, central banks and other financial regulators\, and policymakers\, as well as futurists and technologists\, and other financial ecosystem stakeholders.\n\nFor more information visit http://financelawpolicy.umich.edu/central-bank-of-the-future-conference UID:63527-15782016@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63527 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Central Bank Of The Future,Finance,Financial Inclusion,Free,Information and Technology,International,Poverty,Public Policy LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Auditorium and Great Lakes Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190916T152925 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191002T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191002T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Diasporic Dialogues with Angel David Nieves (San Diego State University) DESCRIPTION:Digital and interactive forms of scholarship challenge established practices in the Arts & Humanities. Audiovisual content\, graphic interfaces\, and different types of visualizations employed in new forms of presentation and publication (e.g. websites\, blogs\, online databases\, 3D worlds) do not conform with existing concepts of scholarship\, and established practices of evaluation. Bringing together 3D model making (scholarship more generally) and the work of digital scholarly editions (DSE) is in fact new\, and not a series of scholarly theories and practices that have been previously deployed in the digital humanities. Although these digital vehicles powerfully disseminate and engage with scholarship\, scholars who implement these ‘new’ modalities are confronted by “the same old\,” established mechanisms with which to gauge ‘impact’ among one’s scholarly peers\, i.e. within traditional and long-established publications. Interactive 3D visualization\, despite its long tradition in humanities research\, is still faced with skepticism and hesitation\, not only because of the constant technological shifts and exigencies and the fragile ecosystem within which projects are being developed\, but also due to their non-conventional nature that does not adhere to established “norms” and metrics. Nieves will discuss the challenges of doing social justice based work\, in digital humanities\, while also providing new methods and platforms for dissemination in the Global South. He is currently working on a digital book project entitled\, Apartheid Heritages: A Spatial History of South Africa’s Township’s (www.apartheidheritages.org)\, now under consideration at Stanford University Press as part of their Mellon Foundation-funded digital publishing initiatives. \n\n\nBio\n\nAngel David Nieves\, Ph.D. is Professor of History & Digital Humanities (in the Area of Excellence in Digital Humanities and Global Diversity) at San Diego State University (SDSU) and Co-Director of their Digital Humanities Initiative (DHI). He was\, most recently\, (2017-2018) Presidential Visiting Associate Professor at Yale University in the Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies Program and an affiliate in the Yale Digital Humanities Laboratory (DHLab). He is Research Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of the Witwatersrand\, Johannesburg\, South Africa.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nCreativity is responsible for all human progress. Unfortunately\, powerful forces in most classroom\, workplace\, and home environments can kill the motivation for creativity. In this interactive session\, Harvard Professor Teresa Amabile will describe the science underlying these discoveries\, as well as the science behind keeping creativity alive. The audience will leave with tips and tools for nurturing their own creativity and facilitating creative growth in their children\, students\, and work colleagues.\n\nAbout Amabile:\nTeresa Amabile has researched and written about creativity for over 40 years. Beginning with a series of papers in the 1970s and 1980s\, she was instrumental in establishing the social psychology of creativity – the study of how the social environment can influence creative behavior\, primarily by influencing motivational state. \n\nAmabile’s research has examined individual creativity and productivity\, team creativity\, and organizational innovation. This program of research has yielded a comprehensive theory of creativity and innovation\; methods for assessing creativity\, motivation\, and the work environment\; and a set of prescriptions for maintaining and stimulating both individual creativity and organizational innovation. \n\nHer more recent research investigated how everyday life inside organizations can influence people and their performance by affecting inner work life\, the confluence of motivation\, emotion\, and perceptions. She is currently studying retirement and post-employment life\, including the impact of creative activities on attitudes toward aging and experiences in later life.\n\nAmabile’s scholarly work has appeared in a variety of psychology and organizational behavior journals\, as well as her 2011 book (with Steven Kramer)\, The Progress Principle: Using Small Wins to Ignite Joy\, Engagement\, and Creativity at Work. She has presented her work to audiences in a variety of settings\, including Pixar\, Genentech\, TEDx Atlanta\, Apple\, and The World Economic Forum in Davos. \n\nIn 2018\, Amabile received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Organizational Behavior Division of the Academy of Management\, the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Israel Organizational Behavior Conference\, and the Distinguished Scholar Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology. In 2011 and 2013\, she was named to the global Thinkers50 list. \n\nAmabile holds a BS in Chemistry from Canisius College and a PhD in psychology from Stanford University.\n\nHost: \nJulia Lee\, Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations\n\nSponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks University of Michigan Organizational Learning\, Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, Samuel Zell & Robert H.

Brazil under Bolsonaro: What Is Emerging? What Is Submerging? DESCRIPTION:Moderator: Robert Jansen\, associate professor of sociology\, U-M. Presenters: Guilherme Casarões\, lecturer in international relations\, Fundação Getúlio Vargas São Paulo Business School (FGV EAESP)\; Marília Corrêa\, WCED Postdoctoral Fellow\, U-M\; Benjamin Lessing\, assistant professor of political science\, University of Chicago.\n\nBrazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro became notable to the public as a controversial right-wing congressman. His brash criticism of left-wing politicians\, praise of military dictatorship\, support of pension reform and privatizations\, defense of the “traditional Brazilian family\,” and the promise to address Brazil’s rampant crime rates through violent policing helped him gain the support of many conservative segments. Meanwhile\, during his first nine months in office\, his government is already facing criticism for his divisive rhetoric\, attacks on the press\, laxing of environmental regulations\, and cuts to education\, leading many public figures to denounce him as an authoritarian figure. In this panel\, Benjamin Lessing\, Guilherme Casarões\, and Marilia Corrêa will discuss different aspects of Bolsonaro’s government and Brazil’s current political landscape. \n\nRobert Jansen is a comparative-historical sociologist with substantive interests in politics\, culture\, and memory. He has recently completed a book on the historical emergence of populist mobilization in early twentieth century Peru. He is currently working on a project on the history of historic preservationism in the United States.\n\nGuilherme Casarões is a lecturer at the Fundação Getúlio Vargas São Paulo Business School (FGV EAESP). He holds a Ph.D. and an M.A. in political science from the University of São Paulo and an M.A. in international relations from the State University of Campinas. He has authored many peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on Brazilian foreign policy and Latin American politics. Among his publications are “Brazil First\, Climate Last: Bolsonaro’s Foreign Policy” (GIGA Latin America Focus\, 2019)\; “The Evolution of Brazilian Foreign Policy Studies: Four Perspectives” (Routledge Handbook of Brazilian Politics\, 2018)\; “Itamaraty’s Mission” (Cairo Review of Global Affairs\, 2014)\; and “Itamaraty on the Move” (Bulletin of Latin American Research\, 2013). He has been a visiting fellow at Tel Aviv University and Brandeis University.\n\nMarília Corrêa is a WCED Postdoctoral Fellow for 2019-21. She received her Ph.D. in history at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign in 2019. Her dissertation\, titled “Unusual Suspects: Persecuted Officers and Soldiers Under Military Rule in Brazil\, 1964–1985\,” studies the military dictatorship in Brazil\, examining the life trajectories of armed forces officers and soldiers who did not support the 1964 coup. Focusing on the perspectives of these expelled soldiers\, she examines how they remember their expulsions from the military\, life during the dictatorship\, and the ways in which their experiences and the memory they created affected these men socially and culturally. Her dissertation is situated at the intersection of political\, social\, and gender history\, as well as at the history of memory\, law\, and human rights of Latin America in the context of the Cold War. Her research has been funded by the Tinker Foundation\, the Nelle M. Signor Graduate Scholarship in International Relations\, the Illinois Program for Research in Humanities and the Lemann Institute for Brazilian Studies.\n\nBenjamin Lessing\, assistant professor of political science at the University of Chicago\, studies \"criminal conflict\"—organized violence involving armed groups that do not seek formal state power\, such as drug cartels\, prison gangs\, and paramilitaries. His first book\, \"Making Peace In Drug Wars\" (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics\, 2017)\, examines armed conflict between drug cartels and the state in Colombia\, Mexico and Brazil. Lessing has also founded the Criminal Governance in the Americas project\, which is measuring the extent and intensity of gang rule over civilian populations throughout Latin America\, and is co-director of the Project on Political Violence at Chicago. Lessing has also studied gang-state negotiations and armed electioneering by paramilitary groups. Prior to his doctoral work at UC Berkeley\, Lessing lived in Rio de Janeiro for five years\, first as a Fulbright scholar\, later conducting field research on arms trafficking in Latin America and the Caribbean for non-governmental organizations including Amnesty International\, Oxfam\, and Viva Rio\, Brazil’s largest NGO.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

We'll talk about how coffee spread outward from Eastern Africa and how its introduction reshaped local societies and economies.
