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.

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.

This paper argues that the range of allocation policies used across U.S. cities involves a trade-off between two policy objectives: maximizing welfare gains for tenants\, and targeting the most economically disadvantaged applicants. Using waitlist data from Cambridge\, MA\, I develop and estimate a model of public housing preferences in a setting where heterogeneous apartments are rationed through waiting time. Counterfactual simulations show that the preferred mechanism depends on social preferences for redistribution. However\, many cities use systems that would be suboptimal in Cambridge for any value of redistribution.

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 the 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. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan. Dafalla 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 Dafalla was created by the Washington DC-based\, nonprofit\, Center for Concern. \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 Blood Underwater with Elshafei Dafalla in attendance on November 1 from 6-8pm\, and refreshments will be served.

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:66701-16770253@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:20191104T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191104T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mindfullness-based Dementia Care DESCRIPTION:A free\, 7-week program designed for family caregivers of persons with dementia.

A light lunch will be served. \n\nMonday\, October 28: Indo-Pacific Diplomacy:What to Look for at the November 4 East Asia Summit in Bangkok\n\nThe South China Sea. The Korean Peninsula. Trade tensions. Myanmar’s Rakhine State and the plight of displaced persons from the Rohingya community. 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.

Specifically\, the findings indicate that complexity and bounded rationality can cause workers to overlook a dynamic aspect of workplace incentive contracts that would otherwise create perverse incentives to reduce effort\, the so-called ratchet effect. The findings are based on a combination of large-scale\, long-term field experiments within a warehouse\, online experiments conducted with the same worker population\, and online experiments conducted with workers on Amazon Mechanical Turk. The field experiments find only a weak ratchet effect. The online experiments build the case that for many workers\, particularly those with lower cognitive ability\, ratchet effects may be weak because in the relatively complex scheme\, the dynamic aspect of incentives is a shrouded attribute. Making the scheme simpler causes the ratchet effect to emerge. The evidence suggests that there may be an optimal degree of complexity that allows firms to harness static incentives while avoiding perverse dynamic incentives. A systematic analysis of what types of changes to the contract make the ratchet effect stronger or weaker provides findings with implications for incentive design as well as shedding light on the nature of complexity in general.

South-South Relations in the Era of Far-Right Populism: The Syrian Refugee Crisis on Brazilian Television DESCRIPTION:The 2019 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme is \"Migration in the Islamicate World.\" \n\nBrazil’s Arab and Arab-descended community\, numbering an estimated 7-10 million\, or 3.5-5% of the population\, has been quite visible in national life\, especially when compared to its counterpart in the United States\, which numbers 2.5-3.5 million\, or a mere 1% of the population. Since the early twentieth century\, the turco stereotype has been widespread in Brazilian literature and popular culture\, but in the immediate aftermath of 9/11\, television melodrama O Clone (The Clone) captured the nation’s attention with its depiction of Islam and Muslim immigrants in Brazil. Less than two decades later\, in April 2019\, and a few months after the election of a populist\, far-right president\, a new Brazilian telenovela focusing on Arabs debuted. Orfãos da terra (Orphans of the Earth) depicts the plight of mostly Syrian\, but also African and Haitian\, refugees fleeing civil wars and natural disasters to Brazil. This presentation will analyze the representation of the latest wave of Arab arrivals and compare it to earlier representations in the context of current cultural politics in Brazil. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nWaïl S. Hassan is Professor of Comparative Literature and English at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the President of the American Comparative Literature Association. A specialist in modern Arabic literature and intellectual history\, he is the author of Tayeb Salih: Ideology and the Craft of Fiction (2003) and Immigrant Narratives: Orientalism and Cultural Translation in Arab American and Arab British Literature (2011). He has translated Abdelfattah Kilito’s Thou Shalt Not Speak My Language from Arabic into English (2008) and Alberto Mussa’s Lughz al-qāf from Portuguese into Arabic (2015)\; co-edited Approaches to Teaching the Works of Naguib Mahfouz (2012)\; and edited The Oxford Handbook of the Arab Novelistic Traditions (2017). He is currently working on two books\, one on the institution of Arabic literature in the U.S.\, and another on Arab literary and cultural relations with Brazil. \n\n-----\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Agranoff Lectureship in Neuroscience DESCRIPTION:This annual lectureship features a pre-eminent neuroscientist and honors Bernard W. Agranoff\, a leader in biochemistry and an internationally recognized expert in the neurosciences. Dr. Agranoff is a graduate of the University of Michigan who returned as a faculty member in 1960. He served as the Director of Mental Health Research Institute (now known as the Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience Institute) from 1985 to 1995 and was the Neuroscience Laboratory Building Director from 1983-2002. His scientific career helped establish that long-term memory formation requires de novo protein synthesis and also enhanced our understanding of the processes involved in nerve regeneration. The Lectureship builds upon a career dedicated to promoting excellence in research\, education\, and mental health care and is an enduring legacy to those seeking to improve our understanding of the brain and apply that knowledge to help those with brain disorders. \n\nDr. Richard Huganir is the 2019 Agranoff Lecturer. Dr. Huganir is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience and Psychological and Brain Sciences and Director of the Solomon H. Snyder Department of Neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. His career has focused on synapses in the brain. His research has shown that the regulation of receptor function is a major mechanism for the regulation of neuronal excitability and connectivity in the brain and is critical for many higher brain processes\, including learning and memory\, and is a major determinant of behavior. Moreover\, dysregulation of these mechanisms underlies many neurological and psychiatric diseases including Alzheimer’s\, ALS\, schizophrenia\, autism\, intellectual disability\, PTSD as well as in chronic pain and drug addiction. Dr. Huganir is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the National Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences.

The artist will present her digital works 'We are fragmented' and 'A dictionary of the revolution\,' reflecting on some of the questions and complications that arise when assembling text from other people's voices.\n\n'We are fragmented' was made in response to research conducted in five countries by the Centre for Applied Human Rights at the University of York. Researchers spoke with human rights defenders around issues of security and wellbeing. The artist was given access to a collection of fragmented transcriptions of these interviews and commissioned to make a work about them. At the time of making this work\, she was also completing the long-term project ‘A dictionary of the revolution\,’ an experiment in polyvocal story-telling of the 2011 uprising in Egypt and its aftermath. For the project\, she had collected over 200 hours of recorded conversation and woven transcriptions of this speech into 125 entries in ‘A dictionary’. Both works present new formats for reading through research\, based in intuition\, emotion\, and connection.\n\nBorn 1979 in the US\, Amira Hanafi has lived and worked in Cairo since 2010. Her work has been exhibited internationally\, most recently at Dokk1 Library in Aarhus\, Sodų 4 in Vilnius\, Studio XX in Montréal\, Flux Factory in New York\, and at the Lisbon Consortium in Portugal. Her texts have appeared in Ibraaz\, Matrix\, Makhzin\, Fence\, American Letters & Commentary\, and Index on Censorship\, among other publications. She is the author of the books Forgery and Minced English\, a number of limited edition artist’s books\, and several works of electronic literature\, including ‘A dictionary of the revolution\,’ which won the Public Library Prize for Electronic Literature 2019\, the New Media Writing Prize 2018\, and the Artraker Award for Changing the Narrative 2017. She earned a Master of Fine Arts in Writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2008) and a Bachelor of Political Science from Rutgers College (2000). \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please contact us at umichhumanrights@umich.edu\, we'd be happy to help.

Patterns in exoplanet populations\, compositions\, and planetary system architectures are already revealing the most common outcomes of planet formation. I will discuss how I use exoplanet systems as laboratories to test theories of planet formation. My work ranges from characterizing broad patterns across many planetary systems to studying individual systems through their transits\, transit timing variations\, and radial velocities. In the next ten years\, we will measure exoplanet multiplicities\, orbital periods\, masses\, radii\, eccentricities\, inclinations\, obliquities\, dynamical interactions\, atmospheric compositions\, and host star properties using a combination of ground-based and space telescopes. These detailed observations of our exoplanet laboratories will allow us to place the solar system in its galactic context.\n UID:64646-16404982@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64646 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191029T123022 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191104T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191104T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:Just getting started building a resume?

Working Things Out: Design-STS Transitions from Technical Formalization to Critical Imagination. DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore the notion that the fields of design and science and technology studies (STS) offer distinct but mutually enriching traditions of research and practice\, and that at their nexus we may discover opportunities for critical and creative engagements with both technologies and the built environment. Drawing from the author’s recent efforts\, including media archaeological\, data-ethnographic\, historiographic\, and pedagogical explorations\, the talk will articulate ways to mobilize STS themes and methods towards questions of design — broadly understood to encompass a diversity of conceptual and practical approaches to the production of artificial environments. It will show what we may gain by\, on the one hand\, creating the conditions for technologies to be formulated inquisitively to interrogate or renegotiate sociotechnical relations and\, on the other\, cultivating an interpretive attitude construing digital environments and human-machine entanglements as new and exciting sites of sociotechnical inquiry in the processes of designing and making. The picture that emerges is one of design as both a crucial phenomenon by which to understand and a sociotechnical ecology by which to thoughtfully re-imagine\, intervene\, and explore.\n\nBio: Daniel Cardoso Llach is an architecture and design scholar working on social and historical aspects of automation in design\, the politics of representation and participation in software\, and new methods for visualizing design as a socio-technical phenomenon. His book Builders of the Vision: Software and the Imagination of Design (Routledge\, 2015) uses STS methods and themes to show how postwar era research on computer-aided design (CAD) and numerically controlled manufacturing shaped a technological imaginary of design shaping present-day architectural ideas and labors.

The purportedly closed list of New Testament books generated new categories of Christian literature\, such as “apocrypha” and “ecclesiastical writers\,” which still shape how we understand the literary legacy of pre-modern Christians.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor of the building.

Over the past ten years\, Cuba has witnessed the growth of a private economic sector dependent on tourism and the unfolding of a so-called “sexual revolution” aimed at combating homophobia and transphobia. Both of these reform movements have been criticized\, however\, for the lack of material gains experienced by women and Afrodescendants on the island. In response\, some independent projects have emerged that draw on histories of Afrofeminist and antiracist critique in Cuba to elaborate an Afroqueer social vision for the future. I examine the performances of Havana’s transformistas masculinas (drag kings) in this context to discuss how they critique normative masculinity\, create space for Black lesbian women\, and promote dignity for ordinary Cubans. This work\, along with the broader Afroqueer movement of which it is a part\, resonates with related artist-activism throughout the hemisphere that imagines social possibilities that go beyond the well-documented alliances between neoliberalism and LGBT rights.

But these products are only effective when they can be reliably delivered to the patients who need them\, and in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)\, health product supply chains are not as efficient or reliable as they need to be. Patients and providers often lack access to quality\, affordable medicines\, and health outcomes suffer as a result.\n \nGovernments\, businesses\, multilateral agencies\, and nonprofits are all play a critical role in LMIC health supply chains\, but each have their own unique perspectives\, processes\, and goals. Improving supply chain performance in this context requires a systems thinking approach\, one that combines traditional logistics management and optimization techniques with a more holistic understanding of how to incentivize and align the actions of diverse organizations. \n \nIn this session we will explore the William Davidson Institute's work in improving LMIC health supply chain performance\, and will highlight lessons and experiences that are applicable in any complex health system environment.\n\nMichael Krautmann joined the William Davidson Institute's Healthcare Initiative in 2015. His research and consulting work focuses on modeling\, investment decisionmaking\, and strategy development to improve the operational efficiency and service levels of public health supply chains. While at WDI Michael has helped develop several Excel tools and white papers that inform key elements of the supply chain design and strategy development process. He has also conducted strategic evaluations of ongoing supply chain programs in several countries\, helping client organizations improve their approach for providing technical assistance and delivering health products. \n \nMichael holds master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Industrial and Operations Engineering from the University of Michigan.  Prior to joining WDI\, he worked for Lean Care Solutions\, a healthcare technology startup that uses predictive analytics to help hospitals improve patient scheduling and postoperative care. He also served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Zambia\, where he helped evaluate clinic-level supply chain practices for a United States Agency for International Development-funded health project.

The book explicates the logics of five key modes of alterity through encounters with which Persianate selfhood defined itself over the first millennium of Persian literature. Attending to these figures of foreignness lets us infer claims for the self through what the self expels\, fears\, desires\, deems ugly or appropriates. Conceived in five interlocking sections on the foreigner\, strange sexual practices\, the anthropology of barbarism\, linguistic barbarism and diasporic identity\, this book explores literary articulations of Persianate selfhood in multiple genres by putting into question modern studies that characterize pre-modern Persian literature in terms of confident humanist self-knowledge. \n\nKeshavmurthy is an Associate Professor of Persian Studies in McGill University’s Institute of Islamic Studies. He is the author of Persian Authorship and Canonicity in Late Mughal Delhi: Building an Ark (Routledge\, 2016)\, a monograph on the relations between poetics\, mysticism and politics in the works of the Persian poet ‘Abd al-Qādir Bidel (d.1720) and his circle. He teaches courses on Persian literature\, pre-modern Persianate literary theory\, and selfhood and autobiography in Islamic societies. He is currently making a verse translation into English of Amir Khusrow’s (d.1325)\, Persian romance\, Eight Paradises\, a translation into English prose of Daryoush Ashouri's widely acclaimed Nietzschean interpretation of Hāfiẓ\, ‘Irfān va rindi dar shi‘r-i Hāfiẓ (Tehran: Nashr-i markaz\, 2011) as well as working on a study of figures of foreignness in a millennium of pre-modern Persian literature. \n\nPlease email Shahla Farghadani (sfarghad@umich.edu) to receive a copy of the chapter in advance.

Four young\, talented\, acoustic musicians with instrumental prowess only surpassed by love of collaboration have brought their diverse musical backgrounds together to create an exciting result. With each member being one of the most highly regarded young players in genres ranging from roots\, to classical and jazz\, Westbound Situation fuses these musical influences into a unique original repertoire. Westbound Situation blends the precision of classical chamber music\, the rhythmic drive of bluegrass\, and the colorful expression of jazz into a new style of chamber music—chambergrass. The quartet—comprising Grant Flick on violin\, Matt Davis on banjo\, Zach Brown on cello\, and Jacob Warren on bass—mixes composition and improvisation seamlessly into their entirely memorized arrangements.
