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.

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:63992-16059396@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:20191105T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T180000 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.

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:66701-16770254@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:20191105T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T163000 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.

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:58562-15002301@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:63803-15884105@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:63627-15820777@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:20191105T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T170000 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:68063-16988412@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:20191105T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T170000 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.

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.

However\, in many cases these interactions are hidden from us\, either because they are impossible to be measured directly\, or because their measurement can be done only at significant experimental cost. In such situations\, we are required to infer the network of interactions from the observed functional behavior.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present a scalable nonparametric Bayesian method to perform network reconstruction from observed functional behavior\, that at the same time infers the modular structure (or \"communities\") present in the network. I will show how the joint reconstruction with community detection has a synergistic effect\, where the edge correlations used to inform the existence of communities are also inherently used to improve the accuracy of the reconstruction which\, in turn\, can better inform the uncovering of communities. I will illustrate the use of the method with observations arising from epidemic models and the Ising model\, both on synthetic and empirical networks\, as well as on data containing only functional information.

Here\, I describe a definition-free approach to studying empathy using consoling behavior in the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster). I use a series of behavioral assays to demonstrate empathy-related characteristics and capacities in prairie vole\, including pro-social contact\, social buffering\, emotional contagion\, state matching\, and familiarity bias. I then explore the neurobiology of empathy using this model\, implicating the anterior cingulate cortex and the neurohormone oxytocin. Finally\, I demonstrate how empathy-related behaviors in rodents can be used to assess autism phenotypes by discussing my experiments looking at behavioral and neurological effects of developmental toxin exposure in mice. Animal models of empathy hold significant promise as outcome measures relevant to autism research.

In particular\, I will highlight how our work blends macroecological approaches\, physiological experiments in the lab\, and experimental manipulations in the field\, mostly on ants. My view is that this synthetic approach\, across scales\, is the best way to understand and predict how biodiversity responds to global change drivers. Field stations are perfect launching pads for this kind of research and for introducing students\, across disparate disciplines\, to biodiversity and the services and functions it provides. Field stations can also be hubs for interdisciplinary collaborations and provide opportunities to ask\, and address\, pressing and fundamental questions across fields. The UMBS has been both a launching pad and hub for decades and is poised for continued growth and success.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/ND2ttvGjZ7U UID:65003-16501302@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65003 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190904T104456 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Estimating the Unofficial Income of Officials from Large Asset Purchases DESCRIPTION:From a paper co-authored by Yongheng Deng (University of Wisconsin-Madison)\, Shang-Jin Wei (Columbia University\, FISF\, and NBER) and Jing Wu (Tsinghua University) \n \nProfessor Deng and his co-authors propose a method to estimate not only the relative size of unofficial incomes but also the pervasiveness of corruption based on large asset purchases. Additionally\, they applied this idea to a unique Chinese data and provide a first estimate of the proportion of officials who take in unofficial incomes. They have found that an average official’s unofficial income is 83% of his/her official income\, and 57% of the officials have an unofficial income and this proportion rises with the rank. They also tested and reject the notion that unofficial incomes are a compensation for below-the-market government salaries. \n \nYongheng Deng is a Professor and the John P. Morgridge Distinguished Chair in Business\, in the Department of Real Estate and Urban Land Economics\, Wisconsin School of Business\, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before joining Wisconsin School of Business\, Professor Deng has served as a Provost's Chair Professor of Real Estate and Finance\, Director of the Institute of Real Estate Studies\, and Head of the Department of Real Estate\, at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He was also a Professor in the Department of Finance at NUS Business School\, and Director of the Lifecycle Financing Research Program at NUS Global Asia Institute. Professor Deng was also a Professor at the University of Southern California (USC)\, School of Policy\, Planning and Development\, and the Marshall School of Business. \n \nProfessor Deng holds a Ph.D. in Economics from University of California at Berkeley\, and a Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Wharton Real Estate Center\, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. While Professor Deng’s recent research interest is in evaluating conditions in Asian and China’s real estate markets\; his research pertains to a wide variety of issues in residential and commercial real estate finance and capital market worldwide. That includes real estate related financial capital market and asset-backed security pricing and risk analysis\, econometric analysis of competing risks of mortgage prepayment and default with unobserved heterogeneity. \n \nProfessor Deng has published his research works in leading economics and finance journals. Some of those journals include “Econometrica\,” “Journal of Financial Economics\,” “Journal of Urban Economics\,” “Review of Finance\,” “China Economic Review\,” “European Economic Review\,” “Capitalism and Society\,” and “Real Estate Economics\,” among others. Major global media have frequently cited his research works\, for example\, “Wall Street Journal\,” “New York Times\,” “Economist Magazine\,” “Telegraph\,” “Forbes\,” “People’s Daily” (China)\, and more. \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.

It predicts a stunning variety of phenomena to an extraordinary degree of accuracy\, and its impact goes well beyond the world of the very small and into our everyday lives.\nYet at its foundation quantum physics is seriously flawed\, the orthodox “Copenhagen interpretation” replacing locality with\, in Einstein’s words\, “spooky action at a distance”\; it is at once fundamentally concerned with measurement but unable to define it.\nWe will discuss this and several other interpretations using physicist/philosopher Adam Becker’s fascinating book\, \"What is Real?\". Please read Part 1 (of 3) for the first session. The fourth session will be a discussion with an expert in the field\, TBD (possibly Adam Becker).\nCraig Stephan\, instructor\, is a retired physicist who has led several study groups at OLLI\, including ones on cosmology\, the Higgs boson\, and (concurrently) astrophysics. He is quite sure he does not have rocks in his head. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and meets select Mondays and Tuesdays\, 1:00-3:00 pm on November 5\, November 12\, November 19\, and November 25.

In the first system\, we directly image the otherwise elusive crystallization pathways of nanosized colloids into superlattices\, where the discreteness and multi-scale coupling effects complicate the free energy landscape and the application forms of the final superlattices. We find that there exist similarities to the prevalent model system of micron-sized colloids\, such as a non-classical two-step crystallization pathway\, and an agreement with the capillary wave theory. But there are also differences\, in particular\, a universal layer-by-layer growth mode that we observe consistently for diverse nanoparticle shapes. Single particle tracking\, trajectory analysis\, and simulations combined unravel the energetic and kinetic features rendering this crystal growth mode possible and universal at the unexplored nanoscale\, enabling advanced crystal engineering. In the second system\, we sandwich and capture moving membrane proteins in their native lipid and liquid environment at nm resolution. The proteins exhibit real-time “fingering” fluctuations\, which we attribute to dynamic rearrangement of lipid molecules wrapping the proteins. The conformational coordinates of protein transformation obtained from the real-space movies are used as inputs in our molecular dynamics simulations\, to verify the driving force underpinning the function-relevant fluctuation dynamics. This platform invites an emergent theme of structural biophysics as we foresee. \n\nBIO\n\nQian Chen is currently an Assistant Professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).

Evidence from the Great Migration DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe northern United States long served as a land of opportunity for black Americans\, but today the region's racial gap in intergenerational mobility rivals that of the South. I show that racial composition changes during the peak of the Great Migration (1940-1970) reduced upward mobility in northern cities in the long run\, with the largest effects on black men. I identify urban black population increases during the Migration at the commuting zone level using a shift-share instrument\, interacting pre-1940 black southern migration patterns with predicted out-migration from southern counties. The Migration's negative effects on children's adult outcomes appear driven by neighborhood factors\, not changes in the characteristics of the average child. As early as the 1960s\, the Migration led to greater white enrollment in private schools\, increased spending on policing\, and higher crime and incarceration rates. I estimate that the overall change in childhood environment induced by the Great Migration explains 28% of the upward mobility gap between black and white households in the region today.

Probing all of these with a single technique is consequently highly desirable. In this talk\, I will describe how resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) opens up important new possibilities for measuring these degrees of freedom. This includes observing precursor charge density wave correlations in cuprates [1]\, observing orbital hybridization in iridates [2]\, and characterizing the spin behavior within the transient state of photo-doped Sr_2IrO_4 [3]. \n\nReferences\n1.

Over the nineteenth century\, as Jews were emancipated and ghettos were dissolved\, the word \"ghetto\" transcended its Italian roots and became a more general term for pre-modern Jewish life. It also came to designate new Jewish spaces—from voluntary immigrant neighborhoods like New York’s Lower East Side to the holding pens of Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe—as dissimilar from the pre-emancipation European ghettos as they were from each other. After World War Two\, ghetto broke free of its Jewish origins and became more typically associated with African Americans than with Jews. Chronicling this sinuous transatlantic journey\, this talk reveals how the history of ghettos is tied up with the struggle and argument over the meaning of a word.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

Building on the phenomenon of Korean pop culture\, Youjeong Oh argues that pop culture-featured place selling mediates two separate domains: political decentralization and the globalization of Korean popular culture. The local election system introduced in the mid 90s has stimulated strong desires among city mayors and county and district governors to develop and promote their areas. Riding on the Korean Wave—the overseas popularity of Korean entertainment\, also called Hallyu—Korean cities have actively used K-dramas and K-pop idols in advertisements designed to attract foreign tourists to their regions. Hallyu\, meanwhile\, has turned the Korean entertainment industry into a speculative field into which numerous players venture by attracting cities as sponsors. \n \nBy analyzing the process of culture-featured place marketing\, Pop City shows that urban spaces are produced and sold just like TV dramas and pop idols by promoting spectacular images rather than substantial physical and cultural qualities. Popular culture-associated urban promotion also uses the emotional engagement of its users in advertising urban space\, just as pop culture draws on fans’ and audiences’ affective commitments to sell its products. Oh demonstrates how the speculative\, image-based\, and consumer-exploitive nature of popular culture shapes the commodification of urban space and ultimately argues that pop culture–mediated place promotion entails the domination of urban space by capital in more sophisticated and fetishized ways. \n \nYoujeong Oh is Assistant Professor in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Her topics of interest include urban processes in Korea and East Asia\, development and social movement\, Korean popular culture\, and media and space.\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.

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.

The event will be held in the Educational Conference Center of the School of Social Work (1080 S University Ave). She will discuss the intersection of U.S. Jewish identity and race\, as animated by modern movements for social justice. Informed by community pain-points such as Jewish communal reactions to the Women’s March and the Movement for Black Lives Platform\, Kaufman will explore notions of anti-Semitism\, community and movement-building\, and how to effectively partner with groups despite some fundamental disagreements and tensions. \n\nIlana Kaufman is the Executive Director of the Jews of Color Field Building Initiative. Kaufman’s work aims to draw attention to those in the Jewish community who have diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds\, namely non-white and non-Ashkenazi heritage\, or of multiple racial and ethnic identities. These individuals\, many of whom identify as Jews of Color\, have historically been underrepresented in our Jewish institutions and largely invisible in Jewish demographic studies. Through the Jews of Color Field Building Initiative\, Kaufman develops more accurate demographic information about how many American Jews of Color there are and how to create more inclusive Jewish communities. She focuses on grantmaking to programs that support Jews of Color\, research and field building\, and community education.\n\nThe event is generously sponsored by the Jewish Communal Leadership Program in the School of Social Work\, Trotter Multicultural Center\, Michigan Hillel\, The School of Social Work Office for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, LSA Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, and the Jean and Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies.

He is also the author of the recently released book Agents: The FBI and GPU Infiltration of the Trotskyist Movement.\n\nThe Socialist Equality Party (SEP) in the US and its youth and student movement\, the International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE)\, is holding a series of meetings on “Race\, Class and the Fight for Socialism: Perspectives for the Coming Revolution in America.”\n\nThis series is the socialist answer to the New York Times “1619 Project\,” which has been accompanied by an unprecedented publicity blitz\, including at schools and campuses throughout the country. The occasion they cite for the publication of this project is the 400th anniversary of the arrival of 20 African slaves at Port Comfort\, Virginia.\n\nThe Times project raises the question: Is race the driving force of history\, as the Times insists? Or\, as Karl Marx analyzed\, is it class? Is “anti-black racism … in the very DNA of this country” as the Times writes? Or is the history of the United States fundamentally the history of class struggle? As social inequality reaches record levels\, is America heading toward race war or socialist revolution?\n\nThe promotion of the 1619 Project takes place under conditions of expanding class struggle internationally and a growing interest in socialism among workers and youth in the United States. Its aim is to block the development of a united movement of workers across all races by cultivating racial divisions.\n\nThese meetings will refute the historical falsifications advanced in the 1619 Project\, explain their underlying political motivations and present the strategy for socialist revolution in America today.

Wilco’s brand of classic roots rock incorporates folk\, pop and genre-spanning experimentalism. The band’s 10-album catalog includes 2002’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (named one of the 500 greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone)\, 2005’s Grammy award-winning A Ghost is Born\, the Grammy-nominated Wilco (The Album) and The Whole Love and more. NPR has called Wilco “the best rock band in America” and the band has been heralded by the Los Angeles Times as “an amazing machine whose six players seem more at one with their music than any rock group working today.” UID:64163-16171653@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64163 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark,Wilco LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191009T112604 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:David Wax Museum DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark. \nThe roots of David Wax Museum stretch back over a decade\, and all the way from New England to Mexico. As a student at Harvard\, David Wax began traveling south of the border to study and immerse himself in Mexico's traditional music and culture. Back in Boston\, he met fiddler/singer Suz Slezak\, whose love of traditional American and Irish folk music fused with Wax's Mexo-Americana into a singular\, energetic blend that captivated audiences and critics alike (Bob Boilen of NPR Music hailed their live performance as \"pure\, irresistible joy\"). Their 2010 breakout performance at the Newport Folk Festival made them the most talked-about band of the weekend. They released a trio of albums that earned escalating raves everywhere from SPIN and Entertainment Weekly (which described them as sounding \"like Andrew Bird with a Mexican folk bent\") to the New York Times and the Guardian (which dubbed the music \"global crossover at its best\").
