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:63992-16059377@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:20191015T093952 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:IBM Career Day DESCRIPTION:The ECRC is hosting a Career Day for IBM on Thursday\, October 17\, from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM and 2:00-4:00 PM in the Duderstadt Connector.\n\nIBM Research will also host a luncheon in Pierpont Commons for interested students.

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.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods.

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.

Stamps School of Art & Design\, with support from the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nThrough visually and auditorily immersive installation\, artist JuYeon Kim recognizes\, illuminates\, and honors the unimaginable suffering and enduring spirit of the Korean “comfort women” (wianbu in Korean) who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.\n\nIt is estimated over 200\,000 Korean women fell prey to Japanese soldiers during this time period\, many were as young as 14 years old. The girls and women\, often from rural villages\, were enslaved in a variety of ways\, including kidnapping\, coercion\, or being convinced with lies of paid factory work during desperate times of famine. Victims of forced sterilization\, many died during their time of enslavement. Those who survived often did not return home after the war for fear of stigma and rejection. For much of history\, their story has remained untold.\n\nThrough WiAn\, Kim invites viewers to join her in the recognition of this atrocity — and in providing comfort to the souls of these women. Through meditative poetry\, a soundscape by classical music composer George Tsontakis\, and sculptural objects\, Kim creates a physical space for the souls of these women to be honored\, to be comforted\, to let go of the past\, and to move forward. \n\nVisitors to the exhibition encounter an ethereal white gardenscape of transparent and opaque fictitious flora\, comprised of many different plant specimens. White\, the traditional color for Korean funerals\, returns the women to their rightful purity and innocence. At the center of the garden\, two palanquins engraved with original poetry invite the souls of the wianbu to take rest from their arduous journey to be carried like royalty\, to receive unequivocal compassion and kindness. A transparent door and trellis\, also engraved with original poetry\, invites souls to move lightly\, unburdened\, to the next chapter of being.\n\nIn a time when the #metoo movement has brought about a cultural reckoning\, Kim’s work also provides comfort\, strength\, and a space of contemplation for the living\, to all who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of systemic power inequity.\n\nJuYeon Kim is the 2019 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. \n\n  UID:67261-16831200@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67261 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,History LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190510T121534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T170000 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\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:58562-14511290@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:63803-15884089@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:63627-15820761@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:20191004T181807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

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.

The other traces the Power family’s seminal role in supporting Inuit art and introducing it to a U.S. audience. Seventy years ago\, neither the Inuit artists nor the Power family could have foreseen the tremendous popularity that this work would come to enjoy. Taking its title from the Inuktitut word for “unexpected\,” this stirring exhibition showcases 58 works from the collection of Philip and Kathy Power\, most from the very early contemporary period of the 1950s and 60s. Included are exquisite sculptures of ivory\, bone\, and stone\, as well as stonecut and stencil prints\, some from the first annual Inuit print collection in 1959. Among the renowned Inuit artists featured in this historic survey are Kenojuak Ashevak\, Lucy Qinnuayuak\, Niviaksiak\, Osuitok Ipeelee\, Kananginak Pootoogook\, and Johnny Inukpuk.\n \nThe exhibition also serves as a promising launch pad for future groundbreaking research\, exhibitions\, and programming related to Inuit art and culture at the University of Michigan\, thanks to the generosity of the Power family.\n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

But\, turbulent systems are not well understood. Rayleigh-Benard Convection is a more simplified system which captures some of the key features of turbulence\, including thermal plumes\, thin boundary layers and large-scale flow. In Rayleigh-Benard convection\, an enclosed fluid is bounded by horizontal parallel plates kept at a constant temperature difference. Results from numerical simulations of the equations which describe Rayleigh-Benard convection will be discussed and compared to experimental and theoretical results. These include flows in air and liquid metals in confined containers in addition to more horizontally extended systems.

Chemical analysis with ambient ionization mass spectrometry and other methods can provide further information about such materials. Our current projects seek to determine the accuracy\, precision and minimum sample size that can be AMS dated with PCO sample preparation\, allowing us to gather more information from small and fragmentary objects that could not be dated otherwise.

I will highlight some of the specifically Japanese aspects: the underground dance and theater\, the student politics\, the protests against the Vietnam War\, the radical cinema. In many ways\, the counterculture was a rediscovery of Japanese traditions. After a century of Westernization and a rather fossilized high classical culture\, artists were going back to the erotic and often dark roots of pre-modern popular culture\, hence the title: Reeking of Mud. \n\nIan Buruma studied Chinese at Leyden University\, and cinema at Nihon University College of Arts\, in Tokyo. He lived in Japan from 1974 to 1980. He worked in Tokyo as a photographer\, filmmaker\, and journalist.

Climate\, Caravans\, and Historical Violence in Central America DESCRIPTION:Recent news coverage of Central American migrants routinely describes them as “climate refugees\,” fleeing lands where anthropogenic drought has made small farming impossible. Much of this reporting ignores or minimizes the extreme inequality of land distribution in Central America\, as well as the organized violence\, corruption\, and legal impunity that has maintained that inequality over generations. Rendering migrants as victims of climate change erases their past and their historical agency\, reducing them to helpless casualties of a disembodied “anthropocene.” And yet\, stories about Central Americans succumbing to climate change are not new. This lecture will show that deterministic climate narratives purporting to explain the poverty of the Central American countryside have their origins in the expansion of the US empire. In the early twentieth century\, North American scientists scouting for natural resources were baffled by the tropical landscapes of Central America\, some of which contained indigenous milpa fields alongside the ruins of an advanced civilization. Attempting to make sense of terrain which defied deeply held convictions about race\, climate\, and civilizational development\, these scientists created the concept of the “Maya Collapse” as we know it. The Maya Collapse erased a thousand years of Maya history\, including half a millennium of colonial domination\, and replaced it with a parable of nature’s power over man. Since its emergence among the disciplines of forestry\, agronomy\, and climatology\, the Maya Collapse has taken many forms\, but the fable at its core has proven remarkably durable\, even in the face of widely available contradictory evidence. Like the climate refugee stories of today\, the Maya Collapse redirected the gaze of outsiders away from the political violence and economic exploitation abetted by their own society. Human misery is attributed to nature’s wrath\, and to no one in particular. \n\nTony Andersson earned a PhD in Latin American history from New York University and held a postdoctoral fellowship with the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies in 2018-19. His talk\, part of the continuing LACS series Central American Contexts\, will examine historical connections between violence and climate refugees\, especially in Guatemala.

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 Hierarchical Planning: A Win-Win Paradigm for Power System Operations\n\nAbstract:\nDriven by ambitious renewable portfolio standards\, variable energy resources (such as wind and solar) are expected to impose unprecedented levels of uncertainty to power system operations. The current practice of planning operations with deterministic optimization tools may be ill-suited for a future where uncertainty is abundant. To overcome the reliability challenges associated with the large-scale inclusion of renewable resources\, we present a stochastic hierarchical planning (SHP) framework. This framework captures operations at day-ahead\, short-term and hour-ahead timescales\, as well as the interactions between decisions and stochastic processes across these timescales. While stochastic counterparts of individual optimization problems (e.g.\, unit commitment\, economic dispatch etc.) have been studied previously\, this presentation is built around a comprehensive computational treatment of planning frameworks that are stitched together in a hierarchical setting. Computational experiments conducted with the NREL118 dataset reveal that\, relative to its deterministic counterpart\, the SHP framework significantly reduces unmet demand\, and can lead to substantial savings in costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Such a \"Win-Win\" paradigm is only possible through new approaches which combine OR and Data Science through Stochastic Programming.\n\nJoint work with S. Atakan (formerly USC\, and currently at Amazon) and H. Gangammanavar (SMU).\n\nBio:\nSuvrajeet Sen is Professor at the Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Southern California. Prior to joining USC\, he was a Professor at Ohio State University (2006-2012)\, and University of Arizona (1982-2006). He has also served as the Program Director of OR as well as Service Enterprise Systems at the National Science Foundation. Professor Sen’s research is devoted to many categories of optimization models\, and he has published over one hundred papers\, with the vast majority of them dealing with models\, algorithms and applications of Stochastic Programming problems. He has served on several editorial boards\, including Operations Research as Area Editor for Optimization and as Associate Editor for INFORMS Journal on Computing\, Journal of Telecommunications Systems\, Mathematical Programming B\, and Operations Research. He also serves as an Advisory Editor for several newer journals. Professor Sen was instrumental in founding the INFORMS Optimization Society in 1995\, and recently served as its Chair (2015-16). Except for his years at NSF\, he has received continuous extramural research funding from NSF and other basic research agencies\, totaling over ten million dollars as PI over his career.

This is motivated by three forcing functions. First the creation of the College of Computing at MIT and the vision that computing broadly defined now infuses all of modern engineering. Second\, the aerospace enterprise is thriving and has been undergoing a burst of entrepreneurial activity in the past few years. This is driving the democratization of air and space at scales and applications that universities can approach. Third\, as the undergraduate population in the nation has become more diverse\, aerospace writ large has dramatically lagged behind. \n\nThe talk will explore changes in directions to address these forcing functions and position the Department for the future.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nProf. Daniel Hastings is the Department Head of the MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Previously he was the CEO and Director of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART). \n \nProfessor Hastings earned a PhD and an SM\, from MIT in Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1980 and 1978 respectively\, and received a BA in Mathematics from Oxford University in England in 1976. He joined the MIT faculty in 1985. With almost 30 years of experience in academia\, Professor Hastings was MIT’s Dean of Undergraduate Education from 2006 to 2013\, head of the MIT Technology and Policy Program and director of the MIT Engineering Systems Division. \n \nProfessor Hastings was US Air Force Chief Scientist From 1997-1999 and chair of the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board from 2002-2005.

This presentation provides an overview of forms of extractive or “hungry” perception\, and alternatives to these that emerge from Indigenous sensory engagement. The range of such listening practices are necessarily multiple and dependent upon the specificities of Indigenous and settler epistemes at play\, it is nonetheless possible to discern historical patterns of “civilizing” the attention of Indigenous people\, and ongoing settler listening practices oriented toward the instrumentalization Indigenous knowledge. In contrast\, forms of Indigenous listening resurgence refuse the anthropocentrism of listening\, and instead proceed from intersubjective experience between listeners and song-life.\n\nDylan Robinson is a xwélméxw artist and writer (Stó:lō Nation\, Sqwa)\, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Arts at Queen’s University.

Throughout each of these processes\, the question of mate choice is crucially important. For example\, every instance of mating with oneself (self-fertilization or selfing) halves an individual’s genomic variation\, exposing rare recessive mutations. At the other end of the spectrum\, mating with another species may either reduce fitness via hybrid incompatibilities or introduce novel\, potentially adaptive\, genetic variation. I present my research\, which combines theory\, and data to investigate both the evolutionary implications of these mating decisions (e.g. their effects on the species range\, the nature of genetic variation\, genomic architecture etc) and when and how such traits can (or cannot) evolve.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/w7GGngxIysU UID:65473-16603599@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65473 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Biology,Biosciences,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190219T101017 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hanes Walton Jr. Lecture DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker Dianne Pinderhughes (Notre Dame Presidential Faculty Fellow and Professor\, Department of Africana Studies and the Department of Political Science\, University of Notre Dame)\n\nReception follows the lecture in the ISR Atrium UID:61388-15097061@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61388 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Political Science LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190918T110200 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hanes Walton Jr. Lecture DESCRIPTION:Racial Dynamics in the American Context: A Second Century of Civil Rights and Protest?\n\nThis lecture will explore the factors shaping electoral and policy developments in the wake of late 20th century civil rights reform\, and the growing political incorporation of African Americans into electoral politics.  Drawing from a set of collected papers compiled for publication as Black Politics After the Civil Rights Revolution\, social and political scientists recognized the gradual increase in African American political participation\, the increasing numbers of elected officials of color\, and perhaps most remarkably\, the election in 2008 and 2012 of Barack Obama to the Presidency.  The unexpected election of Donald Trump in 2016\, posed a direct challenge to that framing of reaching the mountaintop and the evolution of successful racial reform. The lecture considers the possible alternative explanations for the Obama and Trump Presidencies in sequence\, and whether these changes in early 21st century politics reflect those in previous eras. \n\nThe Hanes Walton Jr. Lecture is sponsored by the Center for Political Studies\, Institute for Social Research and occurs in the autumn of odd-numbered years\, in honor of Hanes Walton\, Jr. UID:61398-15097072@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61398 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Politics,Social Sciences LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191007T111650 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:LSA Scholarships Info Session DESCRIPTION:Are you an LSA student looking for funding?

Membrane association of α-synuclein is associated with its biological function and implicated in pathogenesis. Upon membrane association\, α-synuclein adopts an α-helical structure\, whereas in solution\, the protein is disordered. In a disease state\, β-sheet rich\, amyloid fibrils of aggregated α-synuclein accumulate in the cytosol. In this work\, we aim to understand how amyloid formation is influenced by lipids and in turn\, how the protein aggregation process may lead to deleterious α-synuclein interactions with membranes. We are especially interested in the ability of α-synuclein to sense and generate membrane curvature\, which could have both functional and dysfunctional consequences. Building upon the fundamental understanding of α-synuclein–lipid interactions\, we are developing Raman microspectroscopy to study protein conformational dynamics and aggregation in cells. This powerful approach reports on protein secondary structural changes\, allowing us to identify whether the protein has adopted a β-sheet rich form\, indicative of amyloid structure\, as a function of its spatial location. In this talk\, I will present our latest results on (1) membrane fluidity and curvature sensing by α-synuclein\, (2) Raman spectroscopic characterization of α-synuclein amyloid formation\, and (3) cellular studies of α-synuclein. Through our work\, we are developing a chemical understanding in how specific biomolecular interactions and cellular environments modulate α-synuclein structure and aggregation propensity. \nJennifer Lee (NIH) UID:64839-16460976@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64839 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190930T131416 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T190000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:The Golden Door: Mapping Ellis Island & the History of Immigration in the US DESCRIPTION:Come and celebrate the storied history of Ellis Island with us on the anniversary of its closing.

J. T. Mitchell.\n\nAs part of the Embodying Vision/Envisioning Embodiment Graduate Student Conference hosted by the German Department\, Professor W. J. T. Mitchell of the University of Chicago will give the keynote lecture. \n\nProfessor Mitchell is the Gaylord Donnelley Distinguished Service Professor in the Departments of English\, Art History\, and Visual Arts in addition to serving as Editor of Critical Inquiry. His research explores the relations of visual and verbal representations in culture and iconology\, and he has authored several foundational books on the history and theories of media\, visual art\, and literature\, from the eighteenth century to the present.\n\nOn Thursday\, October 17th at 5:30 pm\, Professor Mitchell will give his keynote lecture in Forum Hall. \"Present Tense: Time\, Madness\, and Democracy\" is an experimental engagement in philosophical reflections on time informed by current events. A first draft appeared just before the 2018 elections on the Critical Inquiry blog\, In the Moment. His lecture will provide an update of that draft\, while maintaining its methodological commitment to an iconology of time rather than an ontology of time\, asking not “What is time?” but rather \"How do we picture time?\" This lecture is inspired by Nietzsche’s observation that madness in individuals is rare and exceptional\, but in “groups\, parties\, nations\, and epochs\, it is the rule.” In arguing that we are living in an “epoch\,” a moment of historic uncertainty\, risk\, and transformation\, Professor Mitchell will ask the following questions: What is the “affective temporality” that characterizes this epoch? How do we feel about the times in which we live\, and how does that feeling congeal into images and iconic moments? \n Reception to follow.\n\nFriday\, October 18th @ 8 am - 5 pm (Forum Hall): Embodying Vision/Envisioning Embodiment Graduate Student Conference\n\nSaturday\, October 19th @ 8 am - 5 pm (Rackham East Hall): Embodying Vision/Envisioning Embodiment Graduate Student Conference UID:66812-16779003@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66812 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Rackham LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191030T132212 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T183000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:Star talks will examine the night sky with its slowly changing constellations\, bright planets\, and a short journey to visit far-away objects.\n\nThe new Planetarium & Dome Theater has comfortable seating for 57 visitors and space for up to 9 wheelchairs\, easy-access seats\, and a limited number of hearing assistance devices.

Last fall\, SiD faculty member Diana Seales coordinated 5 workshops for students and community members to learn about\, discuss\, and practice healing justice. This time\, the series is back with some updates and an additional workshop.\n\nAll workshops are free and open to the public and include a light dinner.\n\nIf you are coming from Ann Arbor as a registered student or someone who wants to drop in for one or more workshops\, please email Craig Regester (regester@umich.edu) to confirm your transportation.\n\nSERIES INFORMATION:\n\nCultural organizing places culture at the center of an organizing strategy. It can be done to unite people through the humanity of culture and the democracy of participation. This series explores the ways in which healing justice\, creativity and arts enhance cultural organizing through a series of unique workshops led by Detroiters that are at the forefront of this movement. This type of creative organizing empowers communities to come together in celebration of culture while developing valuable skills that challenge power and oppression.\n\nHealing Justice is woven through each of the workshops. Dr. Page of the Kindred Healing Justice Collective (often attributed with coining the phrase) describes Healing Justice as identifying how we can holistically respond to and intervene on generational trauma and violence\, and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our bodies\, hearts and minds.”\n\nAdditionally\, this series is led entirely by indigenous community members and activists. The practice of ritual\, which is deeply tied to healing justice and cultural organizing\, often comes at the risk of cultural appropriation. As we try to create cross-cultural community healing spaces\, it is vital to understand Anishinaabe culture as we stand on their land. This series will struggle with that idea\, with the challenge of ritual in the modern era\, and will encourage people not familiar with healing justice to get outside their comfort zones and confront the ways in which the destruction of indigenous healing practices and colonization are deeply interconnected.\n\nWORKSHOP SCHEDULE:\n\nOctober 3rd: Dreams as Empowerment - using dreams for self-healing\, transformation\, and intuition\nWorkshop by Zoë Villegas of Gemineye Tarot\n\nOctober 10th: How to Build Community Through Active Story Sharing and Movement - Dress comfortably and be ready to move: this workshop will include aspects of traditional as well as modern interpretations of Great Lakes Indigenous Dances\nWorkshop by Christy Giizigad of Aadizookaan\n\nOctober 17: Herbs & Ceremony - how ritual can be used for personal and activist self-care\nWorkshop by Adela Nieves Martinez of Healing by Choice!\n\nNovember 7th: Using Tarot and Folk Magic as Defense Against Colonialized Structures and Oppression\nWorkshop by Zoë and Alejandra Villegas of Gemineye Tarot\n\nNovember 14th: Understanding Anishinaabe Healing Practice to Create Cross-Cultural Community Healing Spaces\nWorkshop by Chantel Henry of American Indian Health and Family Services\n\nNovember 21st: Beat back the oppressors!

Meaning “wayfarer” in the language of the Wixarika people\, Makuyeika was formed after an extensive search across the country’s indigenous communities\, a project undertaken by Flores Komatsu as an inaugural recipient of The Julie Taymor World Theatre Fellowship. \n\nAndares is a theatre creation about the lives of indigenous youth in México\, devised collectively through personal anecdotes\, ancestral myths\, as well as traditional music and art forms. The play shines light on a range of realities — land usurpation\, widespread violence\, ancestral duties\, community resistance\, — that indigenous people face at the crossroads of modern life and tradition. Meaning “pathways\,” Andares is a genuine\, eye-opening\, and intimate close-up on Mexico’s most remote corners and the extraordinary stories of its humble\, everyday inhabitants. \n\nCo-sponsored by: Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies\; LSA Department of American Culture\; LSA Latina/o Studies\; LSA Native American Studies\; LSA Residential College\; SMTD Office of Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion\; SMTD EXCEL\; and SMTD Department of Theatre & Drama.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact the Center for World Performance Studies\, at 734-936-2777\, at least one week in advance of this event.
