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.

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.

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

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. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770246@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190731T120334 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191028T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191028T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mindfullness-based Dementia Care DESCRIPTION:A free\, 7-week program designed for family caregivers of persons with dementia.

She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism.

These are among the many diplomatic issues expected to be discussed by the 18 leaders from around the Indo-Pacific Region participating in the East Asia Summit (EAS) to be held in Thailand on November 4. Retired U.S. Ambassador Daniel Shields\, whose 33-year Foreign Service career in Southeast Asia\, China\, Japan\, and Washington included deep involvement in the 2013 EAS in Brunei and the 2017 EAS in the Philippines\, will share personal insights\, as an experienced diplomatic practitioner no longer speaking for the U.S. government\, on what to expect from the 2019 EAS.\n\nMonday\, November 4: After the Bangkok East Asia Summit: Prospects for Diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific\n\nJust as the East Asia Summit (EAS) in Bangkok concludes on November 4\, Ambassador (Ret.) Shields will offer his personal views\, not U.S. government policy positions\, on what just happened diplomatically in Bangkok and what lies ahead for diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific Region in 2020. One of the unique things about the EAS system is the importance of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) chair/host country. Ambassador (Ret.) Shields will look at the transition from Thai chairmanship in 2019 to Vietnamese chairmanship in 2020. He will analyze what that might mean with regard to the South China Sea\, trade uncertainties and other challenges that lie ahead for diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific in 2020.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nAmbassador (Ret.) Daniel Shields consults\, teaches courses and conducts simulations relating to diplomacy and U.S.-Asia relations. From 2015-18\, while on detail from the U.S. State Department as the Diplomatic Advisor to the Commandant at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle\, Pennsylvania\, he helped educate future strategic leaders on how to integrate the diplomatic\, informational\, military and economic (DIME) instruments of power to achieve national security objectives. He served as the U.S. Ambassador to Brunei from 2011-14\, handling sensitive South China Sea-related issues in connection with Brunei’s hosting in 2013 of the various Summits involving the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Ambassador (Ret.) Shields led two other U.S. diplomatic Missions in Southeast Asia as Chargé d’Affaires (at times when no Ambassador was in place.) In response to an urgent request from the State Department\, he temporarily left the Army War College for six months in 2017 to serve as the Chargé at the U.S. Mission to ASEAN in Jakarta\, traveling to Manila to support participation by the President and Cabinet Secretaries in the ASEAN-related Summits. His other Chargé duty was for 15 months\, mainly in 2009\, when he led Embassy Singapore in supporting then-President Obama’s participation in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings.\n\nHis early to mid-career assignments were mainly in Japan and China\, including as Political Minister Counselor at Embassy Beijing from 2004-07. He speaks Japanese and Chinese. His first tour in the Foreign Service was as a Vice Consul at Embassy Manila from 1985-87\, where he witnessed firsthand and reported on the People Power demonstrations and the fall of the Marcos regime.

Across six experiments including 2\,360 subjects\, individuals equalize components of payoffs rather than overall payoffs. When earnings are comprised of “small tokens” worth 1 cent and “large tokens” worth 2 cents\, subjects frequently equalize the distribution of small (or large) tokens rather than equalizing total earnings. When payoffs are comprised of time and money\, subjects similarly equalize the distribution of time (or money) rather than total payoffs. In addition\, subjects are more likely to equalize time than money. These findings can help explain a variety of behavioral phenomena including the structure of social insurance programs\, patterns of public good provision\, and why transactions that turn money into time are often deemed repugnant.

DESCRIPTION:Dr. Booth’s visit is being co-sponsored by the Department of Psychology Developmental Area and the Combined Program in Education and Psychology.\n\nAbstract\nReading is fundamental to human society and the costs of illiteracy are enormous. In this lecture\, I will discuss our attempts to uncover the mechanisms underlying the development of our amazing abilities to read. I will argue that general principles of brain development are key to reaching a deeper understanding in this field of inquiry. These principles suggest increases across development in (1) the specialization of brain regions for different computations and (2) the interaction between brain regions through enhanced connectivity. I will also review evidence suggesting that our growing knowledge of typical brain development is relevant for understanding why approximately 6% of children have reading disabilities. Finally\, I will discuss our attempts at using brain imaging in clinical applications.\n\nBiography\nJames R. Booth is the Patricia and Rodes Hart Professor of Educational Neuroscience in the Department of Psychology and Human Development at Vanderbilt University. The main goals of his research are to understand the brain mechanisms of the development of language\, reading and math in typical and atypical populations. Prof. Booth has been continuously funded for two decades and has published extensively in diverse journals. He has served in various roles both within and outside of the university\, such as departmental chairperson\, grant review panel member and associate journal editor. Prof Booth aims to facilitate the interaction between the fields of cognition\, neuroscience and education.

There is good reason for this: Aristotle’s is the lengthiest account of phronesis. We regularly fail to note\, however\, the importance of phronesis in epicureanism. He will explore how Epicurus’s conception of phronesis differs from Aristotle’s. He will also indicate how Epicurus’s conception influences political discourse in early modernity in materialists such as Machiavelli and Spinoza. Finally\, he will indicate how the exclusion of Epicurus’s conception of phronesis in early twentieth century\, for instance by Heidegger\, resulted in the invention of a politics beyond instrumentality and calculation as a way of repressing the materialism of practical judgment.\n\nDimitris Vardoulakis is the deputy chair of Philosophy at Western Sydney University.

Therefore\, its measurement is useful for constraining cosmological parameters that describe structure formation\, e.g. Omega_m\, sigma_8\, and the sum of neutrino masses. In this talk\, I will present a measurement of and the cosmological constraints from the CMB lensing potential and its power spectrum using data from the SPTpol 500 deg^2 survey. From the minimum variance combination of the lensing estimators from all combinations of SPTpol temperature and polarization data\, we measure the lensing amplitude A_MV = 0.944 \pm 0.058 (Stat.) \pm 0.025 (Sys.)\, which constitutes the tightest lensing amplitude measurement using ground-based CMB data alone. Restricting to only polarization data\, we measure the lensing amplitude A_Pol = 0.906 \pm 0.090 (Stat.) \pm 0.040 (Sys.)\, which is more constraining then our measurement using only temperature data. As SPT-3G\, the successor to SPTpol\, and other CMB experiments continue to lower the CMB map noise levels\, polarization data will dominate the signal-to-noise of lensing measurements for angular multipoles below at least several hundred. Looking to the future\, high signal-to-noise measurements of lensing enabled by deep polarization maps is crucial for constraining the sum of neutrino masses and the amplitude of inflationary gravitational waves through delensing. If time permits\, I will give an update on the current effort of delensing the BICEP/Keck telescope data. \n UID:67014-16796441@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67014 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191125T085404 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191028T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191028T170000 SUMMARY:Meeting:LSA/Ross MDDP Info Sessions DESCRIPTION:If you are interested in applying for the Multiple Dependent Degree Program (MDDP) between LSA and the Ross School of Business you must attend an MDDP information session.\n\nInfo sessions will be held in Angell Hall\, Room G243 at Mondays at 4:00 p.m. on the following dates: \n\nSeptember 23\nOctober 28\nNovember 25\n***new date: November 26***\nDecember 16 UID:66936-16787725@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66936 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Advising LOCATION:Angell Hall - G243 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191008T092330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191028T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191028T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance & Labor Economics: A Unified Welfare Analysis of Government Policies DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nWe conduct a comparative welfare analysis of 133 historical policy changes over the past half-century in the United States\, focusing on policies in social insurance\, education and job training\, taxes and cash transfers\, and in-kind transfers. For each policy\, we use existing causal estimates to calculate both the benefit that each policy provides its recipients (measured as their willingness to pay) and the policy’s net cost\, inclusive of long-term impacts on the government’s budget. We divide the willingness to pay by the net cost to the government to form each policy’s Marginal Value of Public Funds\, or its “MVPF”. Comparing MVPFs across policies provides a unified method of assessing their impact on social welfare. Our results suggest that direct investments in low-income children’s health and education have historically had the highest MVPFs\, on average exceeding 5. Many such policies have paid for themselves as governments recouped the cost of their initial expenditures through additional taxes collected and reduced transfers. We find large MVPFs for education and health policies amongst children of all ages\, rather than observing diminishing marginal returns throughout childhood. We find smaller MVPFs for policies targeting adults\, generally between 0.5 and 2. Expenditures on adults have exceeded this MVPF range in particular if they induced large spillovers on children. We relate our estimates to existing theories of optimal government policy and we discuss how the MVPF provides lessons for the design of future research. All estimates can be also viewed in our interactive web tool at www.policyinsights.org.

The Batista laboratory uses genome-wide methods to uncover alterations that drive cellular failure upon critical telomerase dysfunction\, using the targeted differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells to tissues of clinical relevance as a primary model. We combine in vitro biochemical and mechanistic studies with our ability to generate and differentiate pluripotent cells towards different fates to better understand the importance of correct ribonucleoprotein assembly and function in tissue fitness and to determine the events that lead from impaired RNA-protein assembly to disease in humans.

Hegemon Risen: Turkey's Emergence as an Independent Authoritarian State DESCRIPTION:In 2000\, leaders in the last Western-orientated Turkish government embarked on a strategic realignment and defense plan that encouraged more independent military actions and intensified the internal debate about Turkish identity. After the collapse of Turkey's policies toward Syria and ISIS and the renewal of hostilities with Kurdish insurgents\, Turkish-American relations became ever more strained. Increasing violence along the border and inside Turkey culminated in July 2016 with an unsuccessful coup against President Erdogan. The coup’s failure cleared the way for Turkey to become the independent authoritarian state we recognize today\, an independent regional hegemon increasingly restive in the NATO alliance and no longer closely allied with the U.S.\n\nMichael Hickok received his PhD in Ottoman history at the University of Michigan and soon thereafter published his first book\, which has been hailed as a pioneering work showing the Empire in the 18th century to have been a functioning\, viable state with internal problems but robust legal and administrative institutions to contain them. After several years of teaching\, he went to work for the CIA and then the FBI\, where he was recognized for extraordinary service and valor during the failed anti-Erdogan coup. He has both written about and participated in these events over the course of a career in Turkish affairs. He is currently Las Vegas Division Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge.\n\nOrganized by the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies with support from the Donia Human Rights Center\, Department of History\, and Michigan War Studies Group.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Some have been tortured or killed through waterboarding\, others have been forced into oceans to die or disappear. Refugees across world regions have drowned crossing bodies of water in hopes for a better life. \n\nMillions of people all over the world are being tortured\, disappeared\, and forcibly displaced by repressive regimes and wars while governments of other countries are denying them a safe place to live. There are now as many as 1.3 million survivors of politically motivated torture survivors living in the U.S. And over 70 million refugees in the world according to the United Nations Refugee Agency\, the highest number in the almost 70 years since the refugee agency was founded.\n\nDuring this time of rapid political change worldwide\, the Blood Underwater Workshop and Exhibition offers an opportunity for students\, activists\, members of civil society organizations\, and NGOs to come together as change agents to protect human rights\, freedom and dignity\, and to spread peace\, justice and love.\n\nBlood Underwater is a collaborative work\, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists\, especially from political\, national\, racial\, religious and other minorities\, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by “artivist” Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence\, torture\, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.\n\nBlood Underwater is a demand for “freedom\, peace and justice” -- from San Salvador to Khartoum to Sindh -- and throughout the world. This visual narrative will recognize men and women who have been murdered because they wanted to live in freedom\, political prisoners\, people forced from their homes\, and those who have been tortured for standing up to dictatorships.\n\nThe Blood Underwater artwork narrative will connect participants to one another\, and to refugees\, asylum seekers\, political prisoners and others who have already died or are currently suffering in their own countries or in new lands. This collaboration and new knowledge will enable participants to reflect together about global suffering\, and what can be done about it.\n--------\n\nEishafei Dafalla received a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture from the College of Fine and Applied Art at Sudan University for Science and Technology in Khartoum\, Sudan as well as a Diploma in Folklore from the Afro-Asian Institute at the University of Khartoum\, Sudan. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan. Elshafei has participated in more than fifty exhibits worldwide\, and his work is part of public and private collections in Africa\, Asia\, the Middle East\, Europe and the United States. He continues to lecture and to exhibit his work\, holding artist residencies\, participating in community building activities\, and creating performative installation events around the U.S. and internationally. An extended interview with Elshafei was created by the Washington DC-based\, nonprofit\, Center for Concern. He's also created a series of short videos: Wagala\, Unshackled Memory\, Root Cause\, Made By Survivors.\n\nThe exhibition will be on display November 4-22\, M-F\, 10am-5pm\, at the Residential College Art Gallery at 701 East University Ave.\, Ann Arbor MI 48109. Free and open to the public.\n\nThere will be an opening reception for the exhibition on November 1 from 6-8pm. The exhibition runs through November 22.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Synesthesia is an automatic and involuntary phenomenon in which one sensory modality evokes additional experiences in an unrelated modality (e.g.\, sounds evoking colors or tastes). Synesthesia is also associated with other psychological/neurological differences that can lead to savant-like traits. What is special about the brains' of synesthetes that leads to these experiences in only 4% of the population? And\, if synesthetes’ brains are different\, why can non-synesthetes acquire these sensations following drug-use or sensory deprivation? Dr. Brang will review wide-ranging evidence for synesthesia as a continuum of experiences that are present in the general population\, neurobiological models underlying synesthesia-like phenomena\, as well as the consequences of having synesthesia.\n\nBio: David Brang is an Assistant Professor in the Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience area in the Department of Psychology\, where he directs the Multisensory Perception Lab. He received his BA in Cognitive Science and PhD in Psychology from the University of California\, San Diego\, and completed Post-Doctoral Fellowships at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago. His research examines how the sensory systems (such as vision and hearing) influence one another in order to enable sensory signal recovery after brain damage or disease.

Voted Guitarist of the Decade by Guitarist magazine and Best Acoustic Fingerstylist four years in a row by readers of Guitar Player\, Adrian Legg dazzles audiences with an unclassifiable mixture of country\, jazz\, folk\, rock\, and classical styles. For all his rapid-fire playing\, though\, Adrian never loses sight of melodies and their power to move us. And on top of that\, he's a tall tale teller of the first order\, with a dry sense of humor that would be reason enough in itself to come to one of his concerts. Says Newsday: \"Unlike Richard Thompson or Robert Fripp\, in whose league he belongs\, Legg seems never to have been seduced by rock. But unlike Leo Kottke or Ry Cooder\, whom he also occasionally resembles\, Adrian Legg is an adventurer\, not an archivist.\" He is\, quite simply\, one of the greatest guitarists in the world\, and perhaps the very least heralded among that group.
