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.

Her large paintings are emotive abstract portraits of specific bodies of water. The Oil on Water exhibition features Eubank’s oil on linen paintings of the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. She creates patterns within patterns\, representing vertical stacks of rhythms. The undulating forms\, such as water ripples\, oil slicks\, and refuse\, combined with the memories that water evokes\, makes her work eye-opening\, yet soothing and sensual. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1 \n1500 E.

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.

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.

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.

At the same time\, the nature and specificity of these associations remains unclear. I will present data establishing rapprochement between contemporary models of personality and psychopathology\, integrating empirically based\, hierarchically organized structural representations of both at phenotypic and etiologic levels. This work emphasizes the utility of broad higher-order factors (or spectra) of psychopathology (i.e.\, internalizing\, externalizing)\, but not necessarily the p-factor or individual diagnostic entities\, as valuable foci for targeting transdiagnostic mechanisms undergirding psychopathology.

Paced like a scientific thriller\, What the Eyes Don’t See reveals how misguided austerity policies\, broken democracy\, and callous bureaucratic indifference placed an entire city at risk. \n\nAnd at the center of the story is Dr. Mona herself—an immigrant\, doctor\, scientist\, and mother whose family’s activist roots inspired her pursuit of justice.\n\nOLLI Reads invites OLLI members and others to read together and discuss two books a year. This fall we are collaborating with Great Michigan Read\, and other community partners\, to enjoy participating in a wider project.

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.

We theoretically show that even when agents are self-interested and perfectly rational\, the information externality induces an encouragement effect: a positive effect of first-player exploration on the optimality of the second-player exploring as well. When agents have other-regarding preferences and imperfectly optimize\, the encouragement effect is strongest. The explorative nature of the game raises the expected surplus compared to a payoff equivalent public goods game. We empirically confirm our main theoretical predictions using a novel experimental paradigm. Our findings are relevant for motivating and managing groups and teams innovating not only for private but also\, and especially so\, for public goods.

Growing up in impoverished contexts is associated with myriad psychosocial adversities\, all of which dramatically increase risk for psychopathology across the lifespan. One proposed mechanism by which environmental stress becomes biologically-embedded to predict maladaptive developmental outcomes is via alterations in brain function. In this practice job talk\, I will present my research program linking poverty and poverty-related adversities to corticolimbic function during socioemotional processing. Using harsh parenting and neighborhood disadvantage as examples\, I show that developmental timing is an important consideration for elucidating the effects of childhood adversity on corticolimbic development. Additionally\, in an application of the model of Differential Susceptibility\, I will highlight how amygdala reactivity during face processing may serve as a plasticity marker by moderating behavioral responses to socioeconomic resources.

In order to move forward\, we must understand the role of cultural and structural racism upon which these inequities are built. Cultural racism shapes our society's structure and ultimately shapes the answers to the questions: \"Whose life counts? Who is worthy of a healthy life?\" In this presentation\, Dr. Hicken will discuss the interwoven nature of both career trajectory\, as a former PSC predoctoral trainee\, and the development of her science on cultural and structural racism and health inequities. Specifically\, she will outline her theory on racism and health and describe her collaborative data project designed to empirically examine this theory.\n\nBIO:\nDr. Margaret Hicken is on faculty at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan where she serves as director of the UM RacismLab\, an interdisciplinary research collected designed to facilitate the career progression of scholar who study cultural and structural racism. She is also director of the Landscapes of Racism Dispossession and Control data project\, supported with funding from NIDDK\, NIMHD\, and NIA\, to examine the ways in which historical and contemporary forms of racial control have resulted in contemporary health inequities.\n\nPSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

The Reshaping of Persian after the Seventh-Century Arabian Conquest and Colonization DESCRIPTION:The 2019 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme is \"Migration in the Islamicate World.\" \n \nThis presentation discusses the reshaping of the Persian language in the seventh and eighth centuries\, conditioned by the settlement patterns of the coalition of conquering Colonists (muhājirūn) from Arabia. Breakthroughs in contact linguistics combined with traditional historical linguistics and philology provide new insights into the demographic history of premodern populations and shed light on how the Persian language still used today first emerged. In this analysis\, modern narratives of Persian ethnic or national continuity with the ancient past give way to a history of discontinuity and colonial rupture. \n \nAbout the Speaker: \nKevin van Bladel is Professor of Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations at Yale University.

Anger often occurs as a response to wrongdoing and seems to play an important role in the blaming and punishing of wrongdoers. As such\, it’s neither uncommon nor surprising for anger to be referred to as a moral emotion\, though what precisely is meant by the term “moral anger” is not always clear: does generic\, garden variety anger\, which is likely familiar to us from computer malfunctions or heavy traffic\, also show up in the moral domain\, perhaps as a morally appropriate\, fitting\, or epistemically reliable response to (certain features of) wrongdoing? Or is there a distinctive psychological state of moral anger that is differentiable from generic anger\, and from other emotion types? I defend the claim that there is a distinctively moral kind of anger. I argue that moral anger counts as distinctively moral primarily in virtue of its action tendencies\, which are typically triggered by perceived injustice against oneself or others and aim to satisfy two moral goals: a communicative goal\, and a retributive goal.

Measurements of the Higgs boson decay may shield lights on those open questions. In this talk\, I will present a few selective results from the ATLAS experiment on the Higgs boson decays. Namely the first observation of the Higgs boson decay to a pair of b-quarks\, which had eluded us for many years despite it is the most probable Higgs decay channel\; novel techniques to search for potential new physics using the hardonically decaying Higgs boson\, and a first search for singly produced long-lived neutral particle that may be realized via Higgs portal. The talk will mainly focus on general descriptions of the measurements without too much technical details\, so that the content is accessible to non experimental particle physicists.\n UID:64425-16348357@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64425 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191017T121727 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T163000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:King Talks Information Session DESCRIPTION:This session will allow you to learn more about the King Talks\, including expectations and application tips.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/bv0wY.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

We develop a quasi-experimental approach to measure and characterize discrimination in the context of pretrial bail decisions. Race-specific average treatment effects (of pretrial release on subsequent misconduct) are used to purge omitted variables bias from conventional benchmarking regressions\, isolating legally-unwarranted release rate disparities among black and white defendants with the same potential for pretrial misconduct. Leveraging the quasi-random assignment of bail judges in New York City\, we find that approximately 70 percent of the average release rate disparity between observationally-equivalent white and black defendants is due to discrimination. Nearly all judges discriminate against black defendants\, with higher levels of discrimination among judges who are older\, more stringent\, and less exposed to black cases. To explore the form that this discrimination takes\, we develop and estimate a hierarchical marginal treatment effects model in which judges can differ in their rankings of defendant misconduct risk (in violation of the conventional monotonicity assumption). We find evidence of both racial bias and statistical discrimination\, with the latter arising from both lower mean risk and more precise risk signals for white defendants.\n\njoint with David Arnold and Will Dobbie UID:66761-16776774@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66761 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 201 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191105T123018 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:Just getting started building a resume?

Rodríguez Lecture DESCRIPTION:This talk will examine the politics of fantasy in relation to representations of Latino male sexuality in contemporary independent and queer cinema. Primarily focusing on Miguel Arteta’s 1997 film Star Maps\, the talk reads the film as a critique of Hollywood’s racially exclusive practices while illustrating how fantasy helps make sense of protagonist Carlos’s American dream of becoming an esteemed film and television star who also finds himself ruled by the sexual desires and labor demands of others.\n\nRichard T. Rodríguez is associate professor of Media & Cultural Studies at the University of California\, Riverside. He specializes in Latina/o literary and cultural studies\, film and visual culture\, and queer studies with additional interests in transnational cultural studies\, popular music studies\, and comparative ethnic studies. The author of Next of Kin: The Family in Chicano/a Cultural Politics (Duke University Press\, 2009)\, he is completing two book projects: “Fantasies of Latino Male Sexuality” and “Latino/U.K.: Transatlantic Intimacies in Post-Punk Cultures.”\n\nThis event is sponsored by the Critical Contemporary Studies Workshop and the Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative (LGQRI) UID:64334-16318429@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64334 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English Department LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3222 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190925T105939 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RNA Innovation Seminar\, Ruslan Afasizhev\, Boston University Medical Campus DESCRIPTION:Ruslan Afasizhev\, PhD\, Professor\, Molecular & Cell Biology\, Boston University Medical Campus\n\nAbstract: Parasitic protist Trypanosoma brucei causes African human and animal trypanosomiasis\, a spectrum of diseases affecting the population and economy in sub-Saharan Africa. These digenetic hemoflagellates belong to Kinetoplastea\, a taxonomic class distinguished by possession of a kinetoplast. This nucleoprotein body contains mitochondrial DNA of two kinds: ~25 maxicircles (each ~23kb) encoding ribosomal RNAs\, two guide RNA (gRNAs)\, ribosomal proteins and subunits of respiratory complexes\, and approximately 5000 of ~1kb minicircles bearing the majority of gRNA genes. Relaxed maxicircles and minicircles are interlinked and packed into a dense disc-shaped network by association with histone-like proteins. Both maxicircle and minicircle genomes are transcribed by a phage-like RNA polymerase from multiple promoters into 3′-extended precursors which undergo 3′-5′ exonucleolytic trimming. To function in mitochondrial translation\, pre-mRNAs must further proceed through 3′ adenylation\, and often gRNA-directed uridine insertion/deletion editing\, and 3′ A/U-tailing. Ribosomal and guide RNAs are typically 3′ uridylated. Historically\, the fascinating phenomenon of RNA editing has attracted major research efforts\, but more recent developments provided insights into pre- and post-edited processing events and identified key players in transforming primary precursors into functional RNAs and regulating their turnover. I will present a forward-looking model that integrates known modalities of mitochondrial RNA metabolism.

DESCRIPTION:Who was Agrippina\, what did she do and how was she constrained\, and what belonged to her? To write a biography of Agrippina the Younger presents a Roman historian with significant challenges\, including the limited number of primary sources\, even for this most notorious Roman woman\; authors’ clear biases against a woman aiming for power and “sex positive”\; and the versions of Agrippina created through time. Just as important are point-of-view and ultimate aim. Carandini assumes the first-person voice in his Io\, Agrippina\, but the personal voice is at odds with his book’s emphasis on spatial and historical contingency as a way to understand Agrippina. Barrett’s account in Agrippina: Sex\, Power\, and Politics in the Early Empire offers a thick description of facts relating to her\, illuminating the times in which Agrippina lived but doing little to make her come alive. My illustrated lecture covers such issues as well as some important insights gained from investigating a woman who was remarkable for many reasons\, not the least of which is the legacy constructed for her by others.

I show how the manuscript lyric anthologies known as *chansonniers *participate in the name games that are an integral part of troubadour lyric poetics. While names in manuscripts can be important evidence\, they do not correspond neatly to modern notions of the author as an individual with a fixed historical identity. By shifting the focus of inquiry to manuscript attributions\, and particularly to female author attributions\, I demonstrate the complexity of medieval understandings of lyric authorship. I challenge especially certain modern (and often gendered) assumptions about the authorship of troubadour songs\, and critique those book historical methods that can reinforce such assumptions. My conclusions are grounded in a new approach to troubadour manuscripts of the 13th and 14th centuries\, but the central issues of textual stability and authorial identity that I address are significant more broadly to both medievalists and modernists. My approach\, elaborated in my larger book project\, makes possible new ways of understanding the authorship of troubadour song.\n\nCo-sponsored by Medieval and Early Modern Studies\, Forum on Research in Medieval Studies\, Department of Musicology\, and the College of Literature\, Science and the Arts UID:66604-16767944@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66604 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Lecture,Music,Romance Languages LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - RLL Commons Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191021T114241 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T180000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Cancelled-Info Session: James C Gaither Junior Fellows Program DESCRIPTION:Event cancelled.
