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.

The physics of photoacoustic wave generation has been compared to lightning and thunder. The interest in photoacoustic imaging has been steadily growing as optical contrast can be probed deeper in tissues compared to optical methods alone\, resulting in possibly one of the most exciting new biomedical imaging techniques of the decade. Ultrasound waves produced by the absorption of light in tissue can be analyzed by methods similar to those developed to analyze ultrasound backscatter signals in the field known as ultrasound tissue characterization or quantitative ultrasound. The physics of photoacoustic wave generation can help in the interpretation of the signals detected by ultrasound transducers in photoacoustics. In the absence of exogenous optical absorbers\, hemoglobin in red blood cells is the primary endogenous chromophore in tissues (as melanin is predominantly confined to the skin). The spatial distribution of red blood cells\, typically confined to the vasculature\, determines the frequency content of the ultrasound signals produced. Analysis of the photoacoustic signals can reveal information related to the tissue vasculature. We have applied these principles to cancer treatment monitoring and other blood pathologies. Tumor blood vessels have a distinct organizational structure compared to healthy blood vessels: typical\nvessel networks are hierarchically organized\, with vessels that are evenly distributed to ensure adequate oxygen and nutrient delivery. Tumor vessels are structurally different: they are torturous and typically hyperpermeable. Therapies that target the vasculature can induce changes in the vascular networks that\, in principle\, should be detected using photoacoustic imaging. In this presentation\, we will review the techniques we have developed\, which depend on the analysis of the frequency content of the ultrasound photoacoustic waves. We will show how we can use this information to filter vessels according to size with high specificity (resulting in a technique we have termed F-mode) and for non-resolvable vessels\, how the frequency content of the photoacoustic signals encodes information about the size\, concentration and spatial distribution of blood vessels. We also show how these techniques can be used to assess treatment response and speculate how we can use photoacoustic imaging to guide drug delivery and monitor its effects on tissues.

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:63992-16059398@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:20191107T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T180000 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:66701-16770256@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:20191107T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T163000 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:58562-15002303@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:63803-15884107@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:63627-15820779@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:20191107T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T170000 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:68063-16988414@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:20191107T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T170000 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. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times\, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality\, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased\; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning\; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self\; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.\n\nLead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Information\, and College of Engineering.

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. Johe Endowment.

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.

Furigana was used to indicate the pronunciations of various Kanji (Chinese characters).\n\nWhen Japanese people began to use Kanji to express both Chinese and Japanese characters\, they began to adopt Kanji even when they express Japanese words. \n \nAlthough Furigana\, as phonetic characters\, could express Japanese words\, Chinese characters continued to be used because a significant amount of Chinese words had already become enrooted within the Japanese lexicon. Both Chinese characters\, which are ideographic characters\, and Furigana\, which are phonetic characters\, were used in the Japanese language. This lecture covers the development and the influence of Furigana as “linguistic phenomenon\" in Japanese literary history. \n\nProfessor Konno’s specialty covers the history of the Japanese language from the 7th century to medieval to early modern period (Muromachi to Meiji period). His methodology is to find the common practice within the Japanese language during different periods of history and the language usage in art and everyday culture. His lecture is planning to focus on the development of KANA and the usage of FURIGANA and its influence on the literary expression found in various publications and art. His lecture should be of interest for both academic and layman audiences who are interested in Japanese Studies. His lecturer at Michigan should be informative for community members interested in Japanese culture.\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.

At the same time\, the change these environments undergo can strongly affect humanity\, e.g. depleting water resources with retreating glaciers\, or changing weather patterns in North America and Europe with a warming Arctic. Therefore\, it is important to develop process-level understanding of such environmental change in order to more accurately simulate it and to develop future scenarios. \nAmong the many drivers of change are aerosol particles that can reflect radiation directly or indirectly via cloud formation\, and hence influence Earth’s energy budget. \n\nIn this presentation\, I will discuss the climate-relevant role of aerosol particles in extreme environments. The talk will cover field observations of deposited aerosols on glaciers in Central Asia and the implications for accelerated melt. It will also discuss how studying extreme environments that are in part still untouched by human influence -- such as the Southern Ocean or the high Arctic -- can help to better constrain anthropogenic radiative forcing globally caused by agents other than greenhouse gases. I will close the presentation with preliminary results from the recent Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition to the North Pole and give an outlook of what we expect from the currently ongoing one year long drift experiment MOSAiC in the Arctic.

Penrose Professor\nAerospace Engineering & Mechanics\nUniversity of Minnesota\n\nThe Boundary Layer Transition (BOLT) sounding rocket flight experiment will be launched in May of 2020. BOLT is designed to make detailed measurements of the boundary layer state and the onset of transition to turbulence on ascent at about Mach 5 and on descent at Mach 7.5. BOLT has a complex nose geometry\, highly swept leading edges and a concave surface\, which challenge the validity of conventional stability analysis methods. At Minnesota we have been developing new approaches for predicting instability growth for complex geometry flows. The seminar will discuss results and progress using high-order\, low-dissipation numerical methods to perform “quiet” direct numerical simulations of the BOLT flow field. The simulations reveal four different instability mechanisms\; these include with a vortical disturbance associated with boundary layer roll-up on the centerline\, traveling crossflow due to boundary layer distortion near the leading edge\, and a complex multi-mode instability near the trailing edge. Comparisons to the available wind tunnel data will be presented. The prospects for extending the DNS to laminar flow breakdown and transition to turbulence will also be discussed.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nGraham V. Candler is the Russell J. Penrose and McKnight Presidential Chair of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics\, University of Minnesota. He received his Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University in 1988. His current research interests are in the areas of computational fluid dynamics of hypersonic flows\, CFD method development\, high-temperature nonequilibrium gas dynamics\, re-entry and hypersonic aerodynamics\, and stability and transition of hypersonic flows. In his research\, he supervised the development of the data-parallel line-relaxation method and the widely used NASA DPLR CFD code\; he was instrumental in the development of the STABL boundary layer stability analysis tool\, and its three-dimensional version\, STABL-3D. He is a co-developer of the unstructured grid extension of the DPLR code\, US3D\, which is becoming a leading method for hypersonic and re-entry flow simulations. He has used these simulation tools to study a wide range of supersonic and hypersonic flows\, including supersonic parachutes\, ablating re-entry vehicles\, scramjet flow paths\, and hypersonic transition processes with high-enthalpy effects. He has published over 400 articles in various journals\, conferences\, and books.

This works because the CR absorption in systems having a parabolic dispersion—a reasonable description of most materials—is unaffected by inter-particle interactions. An intriguing corollary is that\, for instance\, in high mobility GaAs heterostructures when the electronic transport shows remarkably complex behavior in the fractional quantum Hall regime\, there is still only a single cyclotron resonance peak that is qualitatively little different from a low-mobility device. But: in materials with a linear dispersion such as graphene\, this proscription on spectroscopy of interactions does not hold. We have built a dedicated infrared magnetospectroscopy setup for exploring the cyclotron resonance of interacting Dirac systems\, and will report progress including an exciting observation of full integer symmetry breaking of the underlying Landau levels in monolayer graphene. We will also discuss plans for `shining light’ on other correlated electron systems.\n UID:65284-16565503@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65284 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191018T093754 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Lecture. Using the United Nations to Help Free Political Prisoners in the 21st Century – The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention in Theory and Practice DESCRIPTION:In a period where the international human rights system faces growing strain\, Jared Genser’s United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention: Commentary and Guide to Practice is the first comprehensive review of the contributions of this important institution to understanding arbitrary detention\, rule of law\, and protecting human dignity today. The Working Group is a body of five independent human rights experts that considers individual complaints of arbitrary detention and decide whether a detention is compatible with international law. Since its establishment in 1991\, it has adopted more than 1\,200 case opinions and conducted more than 50 country missions. Written for both practitioners and scholars alike\, this book also covers five case studies – from China\, Turkey\, Myanmar\, The Maldives and France. The foreword is written by Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu.\n\nGenser’s lecture will provide important background and commentary on this little-known but very important United Nations body and he will bring to life how its opinions can be combined with political and public relations advocacy efforts to free political prisoners.\n \nReview of The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention: Commentary and Guide to Practice from Prince Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein\, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (2014-2018):\n \n“This meticulously researched volume is the first book to review the extensive jurisprudence and reporting of the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention since its creation in 1991. Authored by Jared Genser\, one of the leading human rights lawyers in the world and someone who I had the pleasure of working with on many of his most challenging cases during my time as High Commissioner\, the book is written to be highly accessible even for those without legal background. Importantly\, Genser weaves into the narrative his experiences having successfully taken dozens of cases to the Working Group over his career\, explaining how he has combined its opinions with focused political and public relations advocacy to secure the release of his clients from prison. This rare combination of serious scholarship with real world application is as powerful as it is inspiring\, making this book a must read for anyone wanting to secure the release of political prisoners today.”\n\nJared Genser is Managing Director of Perseus Strategies\, a public interest law firm\, and an Adjunct Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center. Referred to by the New York Times as “The Extractor” for his work freeing political prisoners\, he was previously a partner in the government affairs practice of DLA Piper LLP and a management consultant with McKinsey & Company. Genser has taught semester-long seminars about the UN Security Council at Georgetown University Law Center and the University of Michigan and University of Pennsylvania law schools. He was an Associate of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University from 2014-2016. His past clients have included former Czech Republic President Vaclav Havel\, former Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed\, incoming Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim\, and Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Liu Xiaobo\, Desmond Tutu\, and Elie Wiesel. He holds a B.S. from Cornell University\, an M.P.P. from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government\, and a J.D. cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School. In addition to his most recent book\, Genser is co-editor of The UN Security Council in the Age of Human Rights (Cambridge University Press\, 2014)\, and The Responsibility to Protect: The Promise of Stopping Mass Atrocities in Our Times (Oxford University Press\, 2011). He is the recipient of the American Bar Association’s International Human Rights Award.\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.

Increasing human activity restricts animal movements and isolates formerly connected populations\, a particular concern for the conservation of large carnivores\, but no prior research has used high throughput sequencing in a standardized manner to examine genetic connectivity for multiple species of large carnivores and multiple ecosystems. We used RAD SNP genotypes to test for differences in connectivity between multiple ecosystems for African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) and lions (Panthera leo)\, and to test correlations between genetic distance\, geographic distance and landscape resistance due to human activity. We found weaker connectivity and a stronger correlation between genetic distance and landscape resistance for lions\, and propose a new hypothesis that adaptations to interspecific competition may help to explain differences in vulnerability to isolation by humans.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/ekCd9EWl5G4 UID:65477-16605610@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65477 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:20191030T132838 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: The Truth of Place in Cities of the Habsburg Monarchy DESCRIPTION:How is “historical truth” inscribed or obscured in the material presence of cities? While much of East Central Europe belonged for centuries to the empire known from 1867 until its demise in 1918 as Austria-Hungary\, various agendas of this vast realm’s successor states were chiefly opposed to preserving its memory. And yet\, traces of this past are more integral to the present reality of these cities than they at first appear. Parallel examples of a few cities from Ukraine to Romania to Italy will open questions of how contemporary subjects relate to their place in space and time\, and of the landscape of memory and forgetting.\n\nScott Spector (PhD\, The Johns Hopkins University\, 1994) is the Rudolf Mrázek Collegiate Professor of History and German Studies at the University of Michigan He is a cultural and intellectual historian of modern central Europe\, specializing in Habsburg and Jewish culture. He is the author of Prague Territories: National Conflict and Cultural Innovation in Franz Kafka's Fin de Siècle (University of California Press\, 2000)\; Violent Sensations: Sexuality\, Crime\, and Utopia in Vienna and Berlin\, 1860-1914 (University of Chicago Press\, 2016)\, and Modernism without Jews? German-Jewish Subjects and Histories (University of Indiana\, 2017). He serves on the editorial board of the journal Jewish Social Studies as well as the series Nexus: Essays in German Jewish Studies and the book series Social History\, Popular Culture\, and Politics in Germany at the University of Michigan Press. He is currently working on a manuscript on the layers of historical traces in cities of the former Habsburg Empire\, a project he has been researching in the past year as a DAAD visiting professor in Potsdam and a visiting fellow at the Institut für Wissenschaften vom Menschen (IWM) in Vienna.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Last fall\, SiD faculty member Diana Seales coordinated 5 workshops for students and community members to learn about\, discuss\, and practice healing justice. This time\, the series is back with some updates and an additional workshop.\n\nAll workshops are free and open to the public and include a light dinner.\n\nIf you are coming from Ann Arbor as a registered student or someone who wants to drop in for one or more workshops\, please email Craig Regester (regester@umich.edu) to confirm your transportation.\n\nSERIES INFORMATION:\n\nCultural organizing places culture at the center of an organizing strategy. It can be done to unite people through the humanity of culture and the democracy of participation. This series explores the ways in which healing justice\, creativity and arts enhance cultural organizing through a series of unique workshops led by Detroiters that are at the forefront of this movement. This type of creative organizing empowers communities to come together in celebration of culture while developing valuable skills that challenge power and oppression.\n\nHealing Justice is woven through each of the workshops. Dr. Page of the Kindred Healing Justice Collective (often attributed with coining the phrase) describes Healing Justice as identifying how we can holistically respond to and intervene on generational trauma and violence\, and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our bodies\, hearts and minds.”\n\nAdditionally\, this series is led entirely by indigenous community members and activists. The practice of ritual\, which is deeply tied to healing justice and cultural organizing\, often comes at the risk of cultural appropriation. As we try to create cross-cultural community healing spaces\, it is vital to understand Anishinaabe culture as we stand on their land. This series will struggle with that idea\, with the challenge of ritual in the modern era\, and will encourage people not familiar with healing justice to get outside their comfort zones and confront the ways in which the destruction of indigenous healing practices and colonization are deeply interconnected.\n\nWORKSHOP SCHEDULE:\n\nOctober 3rd: Dreams as Empowerment - using dreams for self-healing\, transformation\, and intuition\nWorkshop by Zoë Villegas of Gemineye Tarot\n\nOctober 10th: How to Build Community Through Active Story Sharing and Movement - Dress comfortably and be ready to move: this workshop will include aspects of traditional as well as modern interpretations of Great Lakes Indigenous Dances\nWorkshop by Christy Giizigad of Aadizookaan\n\nOctober 17: Herbs & Ceremony - how ritual can be used for personal and activist self-care\nWorkshop by Adela Nieves Martinez of Healing by Choice!\n\nNovember 7th: Using Tarot and Folk Magic as Defense Against Colonialized Structures and Oppression\nWorkshop by Zoë and Alejandra Villegas of Gemineye Tarot\n\nNovember 14th: Understanding Anishinaabe Healing Practice to Create Cross-Cultural Community Healing Spaces\nWorkshop by Chantel Henry of American Indian Health and Family Services\n\nNovember 21st: Beat back the oppressors!

In one of the most touching romances ever imagined\, a poor poet of the Latin Quarter meets his charming young neighbor by accident and both become completely smitten with each other. The new couple and their group of artisan friends personify the values of the bohemian lifestyle\, in which art and love stand before all else. These young Parisians live passionately and ardently – until\, at last\, life gives out. Set in post-World War II Paris and filled with tenderness and pathos\, Puccini’s La Bohème captures the enthusiasm of youth and the joy of true love. \n\nLa Bohème has won the hearts of audiences since its premiere in 1896. It features the beloved and exquisite arias “Mi chiamano Mimi\,” “Che gelida manina\,” and the flirtatious waltz “Quando m’en vo.” The New York Times declared Bohème “the world’s most popular opera\,” and new listeners continue to discover its timeless story through Jonathan Larson’s beloved rock-opera update\, Rent. Whether this is your first experience or your tenth\, La Bohème’s spirited music and universal tale is sure to capture your imagination and your heart.

Listening to Lech sing\, it can be a surprise that he was born in Warsaw\, Poland\, and raised by Polish political refugees. He learned his vocal stylings from contraband American recordings of Sam Cooke\, Ray Charles\, and Louis Armstrong\, and later at Oberlin College and on the club circuit in Oakland\, California. With the additions of Johnny Bones on tenor sax and clarinet\, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards\, and Beau Bradbury on bass\, they’ve built a powerful full-band sound to support Wierzynski’s vocals. More like parties than traditional concerts\, their shows feature extensive off-stage jamming and crowd interaction. “The whole point is to erase the boundaries between the crowd and us\,” Wierzynski says. \n\nGuitarist Javier Matos opens.
