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.

In the last two decades\, PAI evolved as a multi-scale imaging technology\, enabling in vivo imaging from organelles to organs\, and translated to several clinical applications such as breast and thyroid imaging. Nevertheless\, the development of PAI systems for internal organs (e.g.\, prostate and ovaries) in the clinic has its challenges. In the first part of my talk\, I will present the development of a transrectal ultrasound and photoacoustic (TRUSPA) human prostate imaging system\, and its validation in various phantoms\, surgically removed human prostates\, in vivo mouse models of prostate cancer\, all the way to the first-in-human multispectral photoacoustic human prostate imaging results. In the second part of my talk\, I will introduce some new research developments in my lab. This includes results from a multimodal thermoacoustic simulation platform\, novel ultrasound transducers for high throughput and wearable\nphotoacoustic imaging\, and low-cost portable photoacoustic imaging systems.

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:63992-16059391@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:20191031T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191031T180000 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:66701-16770249@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:20191031T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191031T163000 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.

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:67261-16831210@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:20191031T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191031T170000 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:58562-15002297@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:63803-15884101@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:63627-15820773@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:20191011T090542 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191031T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191031T130000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Coffee and Bagels DESCRIPTION:Take root and flourish cosmic ocean realm of the galaxies explorations tendrils of gossamer clouds something incredible is waiting to be known?

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:68063-16988408@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:20191031T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191031T170000 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. The purchase was made possible thanks to the generosity of UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee.\n\nThis acquisition was made possible by the generosity of the UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee\, 2016.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? 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.

These technologies enable animated video-sharing applications\, such as Apple’s animoji and memoji\, Facebook Messenger’s masks and filters and Samsung’s AR Emoji. Such animations serve as technical phenomena translating moments of affective and emotional expression into mediated\, trackable\, and socially legible forms across a variety of social media platforms. \n\nThrough technical and historical analysis of these digital artifacts\, the talk will explore the ways facial recognition systems classify and categorize racial identities in human faces in relation to emotional expression. Drawing on the longer history of discredited pseudosciences such as phrenology\, the paper considers the dangers of both racializing logics as part of these systems of classification\, and of how social media data regarding emotional expression gathered through these systems can be used to reinforce systems of oppression and discrimination.\n\nSpeaker Biography\n\nLuke Stark is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Fairness\, Accountability\, Transparency and Ethics (FATE) Group at Microsoft Research Montreal.

I argue that the practice of that loosening is a core tension in 21st century African American literature. I bring together scenes of loosening in Toni Morrison’s flow from Paradise to her last novel God Help the Child.\n\nKevin Quashie\n“Poetic Inclination\, Black Subjunctivity”\n\nI want to make a case about ethics that requires first that I make a case for aliveness. But just to establish a marker for the ethical—the urgency of the ethical—I want to be clear that there is no question more vital than the question “how to be\,” and no doing more vital than to imagine that this question belongs to ones who are black (and to black literature). That is\, because the question of the ethical is a question of relation\, it seems to elide blackness: in an antiblack imagination\, there is no “how to be” since antiblackness presumes to answer or overwhelm or even render inept this query. I want to get to the question “how to be” without reifying it as one of respectability or worthiness that is sutured to behavior\; I want to get to the question as if we\, black people\, are not exempt from its daily reckoning. This thinking through both aliveness and ethics will lean on black poetics.\n\n\nMargo Natalie Crawford is professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania. She is a scholar of 20th and 21st century African American literature and visual culture and global black studies. Crossing boundaries between literature\, visual art\, and cultural movements\, her scholarship opens up new ways of understanding black radical imaginations. Her other research interests include performance studies\, queer theory\, comparative ethnic studies\, radical feminism\, and transnational modernism. Her most recent book is Black Post-Blackness: The Black Arts Movement and 21st Century Black Aesthetics (2017). Her earlier work includes Dilution Anxiety and the Black Phallus (2008) and New Thoughts on the Black Arts Movement (co-edited with Lisa Gail Collins\, 2006). She is now completing What is African American Literature? Through a focus on textual production\, diasporic tensions\, and the ongoing\, repetitive production of the contemporary\, What is African American Literature? shows how tensions between the material and ephemeral make the textual production of African American literature become the textual production of black affect.\n\nKevin Quashie is a professor in the English Department of Brown University\, where he teaches black cultural and literary studies.

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:\nConvexification of substructures in quadratically constrained quadratic program\n\nAbstract:\nAn important approach to solving non-convex quadratically constrained quadratic program (QCQP) to global optimality is to use convex relaxations and branch-and-bound algorithms. In our first result\, we show that the exact convex hull of the solutions of a general quadratic equation intersected with any polytope is second-order cone representable. The proof is constructive and relies on the discovery of an interesting property of quadratic functions\, which may be of independent interest: A set defined by a single quadratic equation is either (1) the boundary of a convex set\, or (2) the boundary of union of two convex sets or (3) it has the property that through every point on the surface\, there exists a straight line that is entirely contained in the surface. We next study sets defined for matrix variables that satisfy rank-1 constraint together with different choices of linear side constraints. We identify different conditions on the linear side constraints\, under which the convex hull of the rank-1 set is polyhedral or second-order cone representable. Finally\, we present results from comprehensive set of computational experiments and show that our convexification results together with discretization significantly help in improving dual bounds for the generalized pooling problem.

Though it is now appreciated that gene flow often occurs before\, during\, and after speciation\, little about the evolutionary impact of hybridization is understood\, from the ecological and behavioral forces driving hybridization to the ways in which selection acts on hybrid genomes. Our research addresses these questions using replicate\, recently formed hybrid populations of swordtail fish. I will discuss work mapping the locations of hybrid incompatibilities and investigating the role of selection on these regions in hybrid genome evolution. I will also discuss our work investigating how selection on incompatibilities interacts with other genetic processes such as recombination. Together\, this work highlights a set of mechanisms that shape hybridization on a population and genetic level.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/NX1wEe5CCzk UID:65475-16605609@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65475 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191028T115233 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191031T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191031T173000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Hopwood Halloween Tea DESCRIPTION:-Trick or treating noon to 4:00 p.m.\n-Spooky (and delicious) treats\n-Costume contest\n-Book raffle for \"Ghost Writers\"\n-Exquisite Corpses\, cooperative ghost stories\, and other creepy stuff!

DESCRIPTION:Dr. Duara seeks to grasp the genealogy of China’s Belt and Road (BRI) in relation both to the imperial Chinese world order and the historical sequence of forms of global domination\, i.e.\, modern imperialism\, the ‘imperialism of nation-states’ during the inter-war and Cold War period as well as the post-Cold War notion of ‘soft power’. While we may think of BRI as poised uncertainly between the logics of the older imperial Chinese order and the more recent logic impelled by capitalist nation-states\, there are significant novelties in the new Chinese order\, mostly in relation to debt\, the environment and digital technology which constitute new realms of power not easily dominated by a hegemon.\n\nPrasenjit Duara is the Oscar Tang Chair of East Asian Studies at Duke University. He received his PhD in Chinese history from Harvard University.

Challenging these histories or going against and beyond them demands an interrogation of the space from which we think\, write\, and act: the university and its various arms. Following this thinking\, our second event will be a workshop on \"Rethinking the University: On Discipline\, Excellence\, and Solidarity\" with Professor Reginald Jackson\, to be held on Thursday\, Oct. 31st\, 4-6 pm\, room 1014 Tisch Hall\, dinner included.\n\nProfessor Jackson is an Associate Professor of Pre-modern Japanese Literature at U of M's department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and has been long committed to thinking and practicing knowledge production in relation to solidarity with the marginalized and forgotten\, within both the university's own space and its many outsides. As such\, ahead of this event\, we recommend reading Professor Jackson's recently published article\, titled \"Solidarity's Indiscipline: Regarding Miyoshi's Pedagogical Legacy\,\" along with two theoretical pieces he is in engaging with. All readings are available here\, and we recommend reading them in this order: \n\nReadings\, “The Idea of Excellence”\nJackson\, “Solidarity’s Indiscipline: Regarding Miyoshi's Pedagogical Legacy” \nMoten and Harney\, “The University and the Undercommons” (optional) \n\nAdditionally\, if you plan on attending this event\, please RSVP here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd9zWJXZZnlGwM1-MIwVj7GNA5DZ_vnK-KvGxWzV26Is898Vw/viewform. We would also very much appreciate circulating this invite with any student\, department or anyone else who might be interested in this event. \n\nThis event and the Global Theories of Critique project are part of a partnership between the University of Michigan and the American University in Cairo (AUC) focusing on Public Humanities in the Global South supported by a Grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to AUC. Please get in touch with Hakem Al-Rustom (hakemaa@umich.edu) or Raya Naamneh (rnaamneh@umich.edu) with any questions.

This workshop will examine principles that support more effective communication\, regardless of the software you use. We'll talk about visual design guidelines\, how to ensure better audience comprehension\, and other things to keep in mind when putting together a presentation. We'll also talk about a few lesser-known features of presentation software that will make it easier to build a useful and consistent presentation.

These conflicting ends are a kind of Gordian knot with which the black scholar of black studies cannot fail to grapple—the question of how far “to define Black people as reactions to White presence\,” as Toni Morrison once put it\, never completely beyond the horizon of debate. And where Morrison redefined black studies\, freeing black writing from the imperative of having to address a white reader\, those changes could never quite accommodate James Baldwin\, whose work fell into some disfavor upon his death in 1987. This talk will frame the recent resurgent interest in Baldwin in terms of an aesthetic turn within black studies\, arguing that his invocations of the category of “beauty\,” while not a clean cutting of the Gordian knot\, offer a means of grappling with origins\, both one's own and that of the field.

DESCRIPTION:Designboom Magazine has Described the work of Joe Caslin as “towering works of art [that] appear like massive sketch books across the architecture of Ireland’s cities.” Caslin is the recipient of the 2013 Association of Illustrators award for New Talent in Public Realm Illustration. He creates highly accessible work that engages directly with the social issues of modern Ireland. Caslin confronts the subjects of suicide\, drug addiction\, economic marginalization\, marriage equality\, stigma in mental health\, the Irish asylum system\, institutional power\, and most recently\, sexual consent. The monochrome drawings Caslin creates live with us and against many of us for some time before washing away. They hold a mirror up to the kind of society that we are\, while asking us individually what kind of society we want to be a part of. In 2018\, Caslin worked with the National Gallery of Ireland to create Finding Power\, a huge mural of the writer and activist Stephen Moloney installed in the gallery’s courtyard. His current project\, Our Nation’s Sons\, aims to persuade entire communities to address the very real problem of young male’s apathy and their mental well-being.\n\n Supported by the Institute for the Humanities.

As computational design and digital fabrication technologies become mainstream in the AEC industries\, scaling up to address construction level challenges\, concrete holds tremendous promise for the future\, not only in shaping our built environment but also in how we build\, our ethos and aspirations. Yet\, there are many hurdles to overcome. With traditional building processes steeped in protocols and regulations\, moving R+D to the building sector requires an awareness of the different players\, institutions\, and contingencies that shape the contours of concrete innovation.\n\nWhat approaches contribute to a smooth transfer of innovations to the building sector? Given new modes of manufacturing\, what are the new codes and standards that will govern the path toward implementation? What cross-platform systems will need to be in place in order to facilitate automation and construction productivity? What are the new technologies and associated expertise that will emerge to redefine architectural practice and the building industry\, especially to navigate and manage the increasingly multi-disciplinary teams?\n\nThis symposium\, rather than a survey of contemporary concrete architecture\, brings researchers and industry experts together from diverse disciplinary fields and areas of production – history & theory\, engineering\, construction technology\, material science\, design\, and manufacturing – for a timely discussion centered on concrete as a building material with enormous potential for innovation. The symposium aims to foster and identify trajectories for advancing concrete research and align potential collaborative exchanges.\n\nCo-organized by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning and the University of Michigan College of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, the symposium will launch with an evening keynote lecture on Thursday\, October 31\, followed by a full day symposium on Friday\, November 1. The format consists of paired presentations centered on different topics related to concrete research\, with a second keynote lecture at noon. A closing panel discussion aims to chart trajectories and methodologies for research and collaboration. Friday’s event will conclude with an exhibition opening reception downtown at the Liberty Research Annex gallery\, highlighting some of the work produced by participants\, including a performance by Brandon Clifford and Davide Zampini of Cemex. \n\nThe symposium is free and open to the public\, and will also be available via live stream.\n\nKeynote Lectures:\nThursday\, October 31: Mark Burry\, Swinburne University of Technology\nFriday\, November 1: Sarah Billington\, Stanford University\n\nParticipants:\nLucia Allais\, Princeton University\nBrandon Clifford\, MIT\nBrian Ellis\, University of Michigan Civil and Environmental Engineering\nMike Fiske\, Jacobs Space Exploration Group (NASA Marshall Space Flight Center)\nMaría González Pendás\, Columbia University\nVineet Kamat\, University of Michigan Civil and Environmental Engineering\nAndrew Kudless\, CCA\nWanda Lau\, Architect Magazine\nVictor Li\, University of Michigan Civil and Environmental Engineering\nJerry Lynch\, University of Michigan Civil and Environmental Engineering\nJonathan Massey\, University of Michigan Taubman College\nWes McGee\, University of Michigan Taubman College\nForrest Meggers\, Princeton University\, Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment\nShadi Nazarin\, Penn State University\nTsz Yan Ng\, University of Michigan Taubman College\nSarah Nichols\, Rice University\nDavide Zampini\, Cemex\nSasa Zivkovic\, Cornell AAP UID:65602-16966892@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65602 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,Architecture\, Urban Planning,Civil and Environmental Engineering,concrete,Earth Day At 50,Energy,Engineering,Graduate Students,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Stamps Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191030T132212 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191031T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191031T193000 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.

Beyond Faith-based Humanitarianism: What Everyday Responses to Iraqi and Syrian Displacement Tell Us About Encountering Difference DESCRIPTION:Drawing on research conducted with Iraqi refugees in Damascus and Syrian refugees on the Turkish-Syrian border\, Dr. Zaman considers how displaced people re-imagine understandings of religious traditions to produce a distinctive geography of belonging. In so doing\, a window opens for us to reflect on what decolonial readings of refuge and the sacred can offer.

As he became hypnotized by the vivid life force of her work memories\, real and imagined\, from his own life were released. Encouraged by Zürn’s creative strategies as well as playwright Charles L. Mee’s intuitive text/image assemblage approach\, Tulip brings together seemingly disparate fragments of text and imagery to conjure a new hybrid autobiography. Texts from multiple and contrary sources live side by side. The friction between apparent non-sequiturs fire the imagination\; more closely resembling our brain activity with collisions of past\, present\, tangible\, and subconscious events that constantly fight to be seen and heard. \n\nMade possible with the generous support of the U-M Office of Research\, the Center for World Performance Studies\, SMTD\, the Department of Theatre & Drama\, and Trinosophes\, Detroit.
