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.

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:63992-16059389@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:20191029T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191029T180000 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.

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:66701-16770247@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:20190920T130853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191029T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191029T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists DESCRIPTION:Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. 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:67261-16831208@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:20191015T114849 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191029T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191029T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:How To Create High-Performing Teams DESCRIPTION:U-M Professor and Researcher Dr. Scott E.

Faculty and students will work independently to identify their own objectives and styles initially\, and then faculty-student pairs will have time to work together to develop a mentoring plan: a two-way document to codify goals\, needs\, and shared expectations. Our mentoring committee places high value on this exercise because we know that of the Rackham students who have written mentoring plans\, 86% report that they find them useful.\nRegistration is required of both the faculty and student. Lunch is provided. If a faculty member has recently attended a MORE workshop\, they may attend the last hour of the workshop only.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event\, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time (one week preferred) to arrange for your requested accommodation(s) or an effective alternative.

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:58562-15002295@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:63803-15884099@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:63627-15820771@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:20191029T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191029T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988406@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191029T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191029T170000 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.

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.

This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

Her research focuses on the intersection of biology and computation\, including cybersecurity\, software engineering\, and biological modeling.\n\nAbstract:\nSoftware today is a complex adaptive system. Although we think of computer programs as the products of intelligent design\, they also evolve inadvertently through the actions of many individual programmers\, often leading to unanticipated consequences. Similarly\, economic and political incentives produce arms races between competitors and adversaries\, which in turn have shaped the cyber landscape.\n\nThe talk will give examples of evolution\, robustness and diversity in the context of software\, describing how these concepts provide new insights and suggest new approaches to problems such as repairing software bugs and cybersecurity. It will present recent results on the mutational robustness of software and describe a new algorithm for bug repair that leverages neutral mutations.\n\n\n_____\nPrior to joining ASU in 2017\, Professor Forrest was at the University of New Mexico and served as Dept. Chair 2006-2011. She is a member of the Santa Fe Institute External Faculty and 2013-2014 served at the U.S. Dept. of State as a Senior Science Advisor for cyberpolicy.

We use the Flint water crisis to test if an exogenous increase in office visits reduced avoidable emergency room visits. In September 2015\, citizens in Flint became aware of increased lead levels in their drinking water\, resulting from the switch from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Using Medicaid claims for 2013-2016\, we find that this information shock increased the share of enrollees with lead tests by 1.7 percentage points. Additionally\, it increased office visits immediately following the information shock\, then decreased them afterwards. This led to a reduction of 4.9 preventable\, non-emergent\, and primary care treatable emergency room visits per 1000 eligible children (8.2%). This decrease is present in shifts from emergency room visits to office visits across several common conditions. Our results suggest following lead tests\, children were more likely to receive care from the same clinic and that establishing care reduces the likelihood a parent will take their child to receive care at the emergency room for conditions treatable in an office setting. Our results are potentially applicable to any situation in which individuals are induced to seek more care in an office visit setting.\n\nMartha will be presenting Reducing Out-of-Pocket Costs for Contraceptives Increases Use among Low-Income Women.\n\nAbstract: In the U.S.\, nearly half of pregnancies are unintended\, and unintended pregnancies occur twice as often among poor relative than in the U.S. population overall. The cost of effective contraception may be among the most important drivers of unintended pregnancies. Even with generous subsidies under Title X of the Public Health Services Act\, the insertion of an IUD at Planned Parenthood costs $223 for uninsured women earning between 100 and 150% of the poverty line. To examine the role of costs in determining the use of contraception\, the Michigan Contraceptive Access\, Research\, and Evaluation Study (M-CARES) has randomized over 1\,800 women at Michigan Planned Parenthood (PPMI) clinics to receive vouchers that reduce out-of-pocket costs for contraceptives. Using follow-up surveys and administrative records\, we report on how vouchers for contraceptives impacted the use of any birth control the use of long-run acting contraceptives.

There will be an opening reception November 1 from 6-8pm. The exhibition runs through November 22.\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. \n\n----Water\, as a natural resource\, has been weaponized or made treacherous against people seeking safety and security. 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-------\n\nThe exhibition will be on display M-F\, 10am-5pm\, at the Residential College Art Gallery at 701 East University Ave.\, Ann Arbor MI 48109 November 4-22. Free and open to the public.\n\nThere will be an opening reception for Blood Underwater with Elshafei Dafalla in attendance on November 1 from 6-8pm\, and refreshments will be served.

Two lines of investigation aim to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying cue-processing and cue-guided movement. The first of these examined choline transporter (CHT) activity in the prefrontal cortex of mice expressing the human CHT coding variant\, I89V. As choline reuptake is the rate-limiting factor in acetylcholine synthesis\, CHT impairment was hypothesized to have a strong influence on cholinergic function in attentional circuits. Separately\, a second series of experiments evaluated glutamatergic cortico-striatal projections during cue-guided movement in rats. In this way\, we hope to further illuminate the contribution of cholinergically-driven striatal inputs in the completion of the attentional-motor circuit.

Shifting fire regimes may lead to long-lasting directional changes or shifts in biogeochemical states\, potentially impacting carbon and nitrogen balance over large spatial and temporal scales. However\, data have been lacking to test these ideas over longer timescales – and to consider their implications for future projections – until only recently. A network of paleoecological records will document the role of climate in past fire-regime variability\, and the potential for changing biogeochemical impacts will be evaluated. Combined with inferences from ecosystem and Earth system models\, these results characterize how disturbances shape biogeochemical dynamics across a range of spatial and temporal scales. The important role of biological stations in catalyzing cutting-edge research\, education\, and outreach will also be explored.

At the dramatic center of *One Minute to Zero*\, a Hollywood film from 1952\, is a massacre of refugees. Kim contextualizes this depiction within the framework of what he terms Military Humanitarianism\, an ideology that emerged in the United States during this period to frame its interventions as benevolent. Somewhat surprisingly this film openly foregrounds how US forces\, in the course of saving Korean civilians from the menace of Communism\, will also have to kill them. *Taegukgi: The Brotherhood of War*\, a South Korean blockbuster that appeared in 2004\, similarly casts a spotlight on the atrocities that were inflicted upon civilians\, though in this case by South Korean military and paramilitary forces. Both films sentimentally embed their viewers in an ethos of sacrifice\, an affectively saturated biopolitical calculus\, in which such deaths emerge as a tragic but ultimately necessary price for securing the nation’s future. Overall\, this talk elaborates a transnational mode of analyzing such works that maintains a contrapuntal awareness of how critiques of the dominant narratives in one nationalist tradition might reinforce those in another and vice versa.

Yiddish today performs a variety of new functions as a post- and trans-vernacular language in addition to its role as a language for daily communication. It is evoked\, cited\, and nostalgically remembered\; it is used in art\, music\, theater\, and literature\; it is studied\, theorized\, spoken by enthusiasts\, and admired by new generations who never spoke the language at home. In this symposium we explore Yiddish in both its traditional contexts and in these surprising new contexts. By considering Yiddish in and out context we hope to reach new understandings of how the role of Yiddish has changed and what these changes tell us about contemporary culture.\n\nSymposium Schedule\nTwo panels that begin with the participants presenting their objects of analysis for around 10 minutes each\, followed by a dialogue between all the panelists.\n1:00 pm: First Panel with Eve Jochnowitz & Mikhail Kruitkov\n3:00 pm: Second Panel with Justin Cammy\, Sunny Yudkoff & Saul Zarrit\n\nThe front entrance of Rackham\, located on East Washington\, is accessible by stairs and ramp.

Many of our universities invest in promoting diversity and inclusion\, including monitoring progress in different areas\, but what if some of our approaches can hide or even reproduce racial inequality on campus?\n\nW. Carson Byrd\, a 2019-2020 NCID scholar-in-residence\, will discuss a snippet of his current research examining how the processes and policies at universities can reinforce racial inequality on our campuses\, particularly when campus units rely on numbers-driven approaches to both measure and monitor progress of diversity and inclusion.\n\nW. Carson Byrd is an associate professor of sociology at the University of Louisville and a 2019 NCID scholar-in-residence. Dr. Byrd's research examines how colleges and universities can simultaneously operate as centers for social mobility and engines of inequality with particular attention to the reproduction of racial inequalities on college campuses. He is currently working on a new book tentatively titled Behind the Diversity Numbers: What Makes a University “Too White” and How to Change Racial Inequality in Higher Education that examines how universities’ uses of quantitative approaches to diversity and inclusion can shape racial inequality on campuses. He is also the author of Poison in the Ivy: Race Relations and the Reproduction of Inequality on Elite College Campuses (Rutgers University Press)\, an examination of how college students’ social interactions influence what they think about race and inequality\, and co-editor of Intersectionality and Higher Education: Identity and Inequality on College Campuses (Rutgers University Press)\, a collection of intersectional studies of college students\, faculty\, and staff.\n\nSponsored by the National Center for Institutional Diversity\, Race and Racial Ideologies Workshop in the Department of Sociology and the Department of Sociology.\n\nThe National Center for Institutional Diversity Research and Scholarship Seminar Series features scholars who have furthered our understanding of historical and contemporary social issues related to identity\, difference\, culture\, representation\, power\, oppression\, and inequality — as they occur and affect individuals\, groups\, communities\, and institutions.

However\, research that finds high relative mobility in America’s past is based on data with few or no black families\, and therefore does not account for the limited opportunities available for African Americans. Moreover\, historical studies often measure the father’s economic status with error\, which biases estimates towards higher mobility. Using new early 20th century data\, I show that the persistence of economic status from father to son is over twice as strong after accounting for racial disparities and for measurement error. After addressing these two issues\, I estimate that relative mobility has increased over the 20th century. The results imply that there is greater equality of opportunity today than in the early 20th century\, mostly because opportunity in the past was never that equal.

They allow\, for example\, a low-dimensional system to act as effectively higher-dimensional. Experiments on ultracold systems create synthetic dimensions using internal or external degrees of freedom of particles for highly controllable quantum simulation.\n\nWe consider two methods to create synthetic dimensions in ultracold gases - momentum states of ultracold atoms\, and rotational states of ultracold dipolar molecules. In the atomic system with the momentum-state lattice\, which has been realized experimentally in the Gadway group\, pairs of Raman lasers drive momentum-state transitions\, realizing tunnelings in the synthetic lattice. In the molecular system\, microwaves can be used to induce rotational-state transitions\, realizing tunnelings in the synthetic lattice which can span hundreds of sites. Both systems can show many-body physics due to strong interactions arising respectively from contact interactions and dipolar interactions. We discuss the many-body physics of these systems\, ranging from momentum-dependent self-trapping that has been experimentally observed in the atomic systems\, to a novel string phase that is theoretically predicted to occur in the molecular systems.\n UID:68736-17147124@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68736 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191001T125134 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191029T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191029T180000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Engineering Majors/Minors Fair 2019 DESCRIPTION:Undecided on an Engineering major?

Like negative cognitive biases\, rumination reflects the thought content (negative\, potentially distorted) typical of depression. Unlike negative cognitive biases\, rumination also includes habitual tendencies in responding to stressors (avoidance\, passivity) which are not clearly or necessarily ascribed to negative thought patterns. As depressive rumination includes both content and habit it has been difficult to measure well. The fact that it may reflect a disengaged state from active cognitive processing means that it is often ascertained through the absence of certain mental states and behaviors\, which also makes measurement challenging. The talk will focus on fMRI paradigms that are thought to capture the ruminative state and habit\, behavioral correlates of increased rumination\, and the relations of rumination to depression risk\, poor treatment response\, and frequent recurrence of depression. Moreover\, it will cover strategies to intervene to change rumination\, and resulting changes in resting state connectivity and task-based brain activation.

People with social anxiety often worry about seeming incompetent\, unintelligent\, or awkward in social situations. Symptoms like heart pounding\, shaking\, sweating\, dry mouth\, or “blanking out” are common symptoms. People with social anxiety may continue to worry about how they came across to others long after the event is over. This group can help you build skills to counter the effects.\n\nIf you think social anxiety is negatively affecting your relationships\, your work\, or your overall mental health\, this group might be the next step for you. Clinicians at the Psychological Clinic use evidence-based group therapy to help participants learn to identify and shift unhealthy thinking patterns. You will build coping skills and increase confidence in a supportive environment and at your own pace. The group will meet on Tuesdays\, beginning October 15\, 2019\, for eight weeks\, with an additional follow-up booster session a month after the program’s conclusion.\n\n\nIf you think this group is the right fit for you\, call the Psych Clinic at (734) 764-3471 to schedule an individual\, preliminary screening. This screening will take 30-60 minutes. Some insurance is accepted to cover the cost. Without insurance the screening cost is $20. This screening allows you to work with a clinician to determine if the group is right for you.\n\nPlease send referrals by faxing a brief treatment summary or evaluation report to the Psychological Clinic\, attention Michelle Van Etten Lee\, Ph.D. The fax number is (734) 764-8128.

Halaloween: Under The Shadow DESCRIPTION:On October 29th\, 2019\, Under The Shadow will be the last film to conclude our Muslim Horror Film Festival: Halaloween. \n \nThis film festival aims to explore a couple of questions: What scares Muslim audiences? How do horror movies conceived for a Muslim public transform the familiar tropes that Hollywood and Hammer horror taught us? How do Muslim directors of horror movies use the genre to ask probing questions about gender and family tensions\, social injustice and political oppression\, demographic change and social unrest? Are horror movies halal (permissible in Islamic law)? Why so many jinn - and where are the Muslim zombies? \n \nJoin us at 9:00 PM at the Michigan Theater on October 29th\, and every Tuesday of October for a free screening of a Muslim horror film. All Screenings are free\, open to the public\, and will include English subtitles. Screenings are first come-first served. For more information on our festival\, why we're running it\, and the other films we are screening\, please visit: ii.umich.edu/islamicstudies/news-events/events/films.html \n \n \nFilm Description: \nOctober 29: Under the Shadow (dir. Babak Anvari\; Iran\, 2016): set in Tehran during the Iran-Iraq war\, this movie is celebrated as a meditation on the fallout of the Iranian Revolution from a feminine perspective. A woman and her daughter hunker down in their Tehran apartment during the Iraqi bombardment. Did the missile that struck their building bring a jinn into their lives? Jump scares\, demonic kids\, revolutionary misogyny\, mother-daughter and husband-wife tension\, and violence against furniture as a mom fights to save her child. In Persian with English subtitles.
