SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Oil on Water: Painting on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Danielle Eubank is an award-winning artist who has been on four international sailing expeditions and painted every ocean on the planet to raise awareness about the oceans and climate change. Her large paintings are emotive abstract portraits of specific bodies of water. The Oil on Water exhibition features Eubank’s oil on linen paintings of the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. She creates patterns within patterns\, representing vertical stacks of rhythms. The undulating forms\, such as water ripples\, oil slicks\, and refuse\, combined with the memories that water evokes\, makes her work eye-opening\, yet soothing and sensual. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1                                                                       \n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. 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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:ASC Event. Mellon Workshop: Historical and Contemporary Expressions of Populism in Africa and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Populism has re-emerged across the globe\, displaying multiple\, left and right leaning variants and provoking complex engagements with the limits of liberal democracy. There is a new generation of populists on the African stage\, offering contradictory and often disturbing visions regarding Africa’s future. Some\, including Julius Malema and the Economic Freedom Fighters in South Africa\, have re- imagined concepts and policies linked historically to theories on the left\, while others\, such as David Bahati and the anti-gay campaigners of Uganda\, have advanced a deeply conservative and reactionary religiosity. These new forms of populism that are being expressed across the political spectrum invite careful analysis of the continuities and ruptures in African politics from the 20th to the 21st centuries\, as well as the ways in which ideas and movements travel across national boundaries. Several contemporary populist movements are historically rooted in older movements on the continent\, and those histories provide linguistic markers and affective registers for contemporary encounters. Yet the current brands of populism are also distinctive in their own right\, rather than simply being a re- packaging and reiteration of national liberation. As in the 1950s and 60s—the era of decolonization— when newly independent African states were sometimes confronted with populist movements that challenged their technocratic and nationalist frames\, the failures of postcolonial developmental projects have provoked contestations today. Moreover\, in the 1970s\, African dictators drew on new media— radio and television in particular—to define for their audiences new modes of political and cultural belonging. Social media today is different from that period in reach and in tone\, but it has made possible the creation of new spaces and organisational forms for politics. For example\, aided by social media\, social movements\, especially queer and feminist organisations\, have escalated in intensity and appeal over the past several decades\, and these also shape the contours of populism. Their aspirations and objectives significantly inform populist rhetoric\, either acting as subjects of its many demands\, or as the objects of derision.\n\nThis workshop will reflect on the cultural and political registers and infrastructures of populism in Africa (and elsewhere). What circumstances invite (some) people to see themselves as an oppressed majority? What work do authenticité and other nativist agendas do to clarify identities and marginalize minorities? What is the relationship between African forms of liberal democracy\, and development in particular\, and populism? Are populist movements opening up spaces for new forms of gendered political performances? Finally\, what lessons can be learned from the past as African\, American\, and European democracies together confront a renewed wave of nativist enthusiasm?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION:Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. 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/

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WHITE HISTORY MONTH VOL. 1
DESCRIPTION:Mining symbols of power and oppression from the historical strata of western art\, Sawyer exposes truths\, while covering others to gain a clearer picture of concepts that have shaped our current society. Within the context of his figurative drawings and paintings Sawyer presents an alternative to the historical record that often accompanies well known images throughout art history. \n\nInspired by current trends to redact post Civil War Confederate monuments from the American landscape\, Sawyer poses the question: Why are some symbols of oppression lauded\, considered sacred and become canonized while others cause the public to demand their destruction? Is there a logical thread in the tapestry of oppression? Can this thread be observed and considered? Lastly\, can this thread then be unraveled?  \n\nAdditionally\, this exhibition features a series of drawings titled Grâce Nóir\, which features Black women whose works have contributed to shaping the landscape of visual culture.\n\nAs part of his residency\, Sawyer also worked with U-M students to create a mural to honor Samuel C. Watson\, the first African American student admitted to the University of Michigan. The mural is on view on the first floor of MLB.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nTylonn J. Sawyer (b. 1976) is an American figurative artist\, educator\, and curator living and working in Detroit\, Michigan.  His work centers around themes of identity\, both individual and collective\, politics\, race\, history and pop culture. In 2013\, Sawyer expanded his studio practice to include large public murals and collaborative projects throughout Detroit. Sawyer is a professor of art at Oakland Community College and teaches drawing at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. His passion for arts education lead to his community work with youth including various community arts programs throughout New York\, where he served as an art director\, teacher\, curriculum specialist\, and more. Most recently\, in early 2014\, Sawyer started the first teen arts council in Michigan for the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. He earned an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art: Graduate School of Figurative Art and a BFA in drawing & painting from Eastern Michigan University.  In 2019\, he was awarded the Alain Locke Recognition Award as well as a Kresge Fellowship for Visual Art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibition: Blood Underwater
DESCRIPTION:Water\, as a natural resource\, has been weaponized or made treacherous against people seeking safety and security. Some have been tortured or killed through waterboarding\, others have been forced into oceans to die or disappear. Refugees across world regions have drowned crossing bodies of water in hopes for a better life. \n\nMillions of people all over the world are being tortured\, disappeared\, and forcibly displaced by repressive regimes and wars while governments of other countries are denying them a safe place to live. There are now as many as 1.3 million survivors of politically motivated torture survivors living in the U.S. And over 70 million refugees in the world according to the United Nations Refugee Agency\, the highest number in the almost 70 years since the refugee agency was founded.\n\nDuring this time of rapid political change worldwide\, the Blood Underwater Workshop and Exhibition offers an opportunity for students\, activists\, members of civil society organizations\, and NGOs to come together as change agents to protect human rights\, freedom and dignity\, and to spread peace\, justice and love.\n\nBlood Underwater is a collaborative work\, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists\, especially from political\, national\, racial\, religious and other minorities\, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by “artivist” Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence\, torture\, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.\n\nBlood Underwater is a demand for “freedom\, peace and justice” -- from San Salvador to Khartoum to Sindh -- and throughout the world. This visual narrative will recognize men and women who have been murdered because they wanted to live in freedom\, political prisoners\, people forced from their homes\, and those who have been tortured for standing up to dictatorships.\n\nThe Blood Underwater artwork narrative will connect participants to one another\, and to refugees\, asylum seekers\, political prisoners and others who have already died or are currently suffering in their own countries or in new lands. This collaboration and new knowledge will enable participants to reflect together about global suffering\, and what can be done about it.\n\n-------\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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Literature in Fragments: Lost Greek Works at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents a selection of such fragmentary literary texts from the University of Michigan’s Papyrology Collection. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ripple Effect
DESCRIPTION:Ripple Effect is an interactive art exhibition that visualizes local water quality data through sound\, light\, and water. Through software technology\, water contamination data is translated into sound waves.\n\nThe installation consists of speakers that play the ‘data sound tracks’\, which vibrate the water held in attached trays. The sonic vibrations create unique patterns to emerge in the water\, known as water cymatics. Participants hear and see the water vibrate based on the chemical concentrations in their water samples. \n\nRipple Effect travels to communities that neighbor resource extraction activity and aims to transform the way people understand their data in relation to their environment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s\, artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. 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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama
DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Pick: Collecting Found Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.\n \nTake Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. 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. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n

DESCRIPTION:Boundary correlators in (anti)-de Sitter space-times are notoriously difficult beasts to tame. In AdS\, where such observables are equivalent to CFT correlation functions\, recent years have seen significant progress in our understanding of their structure owing to the development of numerous systematic techniques\, many of which have drawn inspiration from the successes and the strengths of the scattering amplitudes programme in flat space. In dS however\, the problem is more complicated owing to the time-dependence of the background and it is unclear how consistent time evolution is encoded in spatial correlations on the boundary. This makes application of our hard-earned wisdom from flat and AdS spaces far from straightforward. In this talk we explain how boundary correlators in AdS and dS can be placed on an equal footing by adopting a Mellin-Barnes representation in momentum space\, providing a framework in which techniques and results available in AdS can be generalised to de Sitter.  This connection allows us to systematically derive expressions for exchange diagrams in de Sitter involving fields with and without spin. Throughout we shall keep in mind applications to the classification of possible non-Gaussianities in cosmological correlation functions\, of both scalar and tensor fluctuations.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Social Area Brown Bag Talk:  Cultural differences in the link between social anxiety and drinking
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Social anxiety disorder is a risk factor for developing alcohol use disorders. This link is in part due to the expectation that alcohol reduces feelings of social anxiety. Despite wide variations in cultural norms for drinking\, little work has examined the social anxiety-alcohol association across cultural groups. Our present work with epidemiological data suggests that there is a stronger link between social anxiety and drinking in Asian Americans compared with non-Hispanic whites. Future directions for research on cultural differences in alcohol expectancies are also discussed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Speaking American English
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\n\nThe workshop will run from October 16 to December 18\, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27. The program cost is $275.00\, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.\n\nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Elizabeth Tacke Practice Job Talk
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Tacke\nPhD English and Education Student\n\nPractice Job Talk\nWednesday\, December 4\, 1-2:30 in Angell Hall 3222\n \nNegotiating Precarious Affects: Anger\, Humor\, and Disability Disclosure\n \nEvery day\, individuals must navigate how\, when\, and to what extent they disclose disability\, because doing so is a risky act\, laden with consequences. Drawing on data generated through discussion groups and semi-structured interviews with ten women who self-identify as disabled or chronically ill\, my dissertation complicates existing theories of disclosure by exploring how individuals employ rhetorical tactics of “masking” in their disclosures of disability and trauma. Within this theoretical framing\, I understand masking as a process of disclosure that both reveals and conceals\, that engages in silence and speech (or other forms of multimodal and embodied communication). \n \nIn this talk\, I draw from qualitative data to explore how participants adopt particular affective stances as rhetorical vehicles for disclosure that can help mediate how those disclosures are received. In particular\, participants draw on humor to advocate for access\, to deemphasize being read as having a political “agenda\,” or to soften the material and emotional stigma of disability or trauma. For example\, Rachel wrote an online blog about her experiences of institutionalization\, making fun of her hospital attire and highlighting the mundane milestones\, like painting one’s nails\, that constituted acts of wellness\, in order to humanize those who are institutionalized\, particularly herself. These rhetorical uses of humor work as tactics of resistance (Certeau 1980)\, as participants adopt more socially acceptable\, affective means of self-advocacy. However\, akin to Hannah Gadsby’s (2018) argument in her stand-up\, Nanette\, there are often embodied and epistemological prices to pay for humor. Using participants’ stories\, I highlight how humor as translation requires emotional and rhetorical labor\, and I interrogate the stakes of adopting humor\, particularly when humor may fail to portray the “whole story” of experience.\n\nWe hope you can attend and support our Jobseekers\, light refreshments will be available.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DCMB Weekly Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  GWAS of neuropsychiatric diseases have identified many loci\, however\, causal variants often remain unknown.  We performed ATAC-seq in human iPSC-derived neurons\, and identified thousands of variants affecting chromatin accessibility.  Such variants are highly enriched with risk variants of a range of brain disorders.  We computationally fine-mapped causal variants and experimentally tested their activities using CRISPRi followed by single cell RNA-seq.  Our work provides a framework for prioritizing noncoding disease variants.\n\nThe second part of my talk will be focused on genetics of N6-methyladenosine (m6A)\, a common form of mRNA modification.  m6A plays an important role in regulating various aspects of mRNA metabolism in eukaryotes.  However\, little is known about how DNA sequence variations may affect the m6A modification and the role of m6A in common diseases.  We mapped genetic variants associated with m6A levels in 60 Yoruba lymphoblast cell lines.  By leveraging these variants\, our analysis provides novel insights of mechanisms regulating m6A installation\, and downstream effects of m6A on other molecular traits such as translation rate.  Integrated analysis with GWAS data reveals m6A variation as an important mechanism linking genetic variations to complex diseases.\n\nBlueJeans livestreaming link:  https://primetime.bluejeans.com/a2m/live-event/rbuvycdc\n\n3:45 p.m. - Light Refreshments\n4:00 p.m. - Lecture

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Publics\, Humanities\, and Public Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Re-translating Manners: Russification of the Eighteenth-Century French Courtesy Books\n\nMaria Neklyudova is Professor and Chair of the Department of Cultural Studies and Social Communication\, School of Advanced Studies in the Humanities\, The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA):\n\nBooks on good manners and proper etiquette easily travel through time and space and during the last decades managed to adapt to digital reality much better than other types of writing. Although the origins of this phenomenon can be traced to the Renaissance (and beyond)\, the real flourishing of courtesy treatises started in the 18th century\, partially due to the spread of French language and manners throughout European courts. Their sheer number is staggering\, yet we still know very little not only about their audience but also about their authors or compilers. With some notable exceptions\, such as Baldassare  Castiglione’s Il Cortegiano and Baltasar Gracián’s Oráculo\, even less attention is paid to their translations. But if we take much less famous treatises\, the fact is that most of them were translated at least into one – and more often into several – European languages. For example\, many books of Abbé de Bellegarde\, a prolific distributor of advice\, were rendered into English\, German\, Portuguese\, Polish and Russian. When we compare these translations with the originals (the “originality” of the originals is another problem to be dealt with)\, it becomes obvious that not all advice was “translatable” either because of political implications or because of linguistic difficulties (the absence of relevant vocabulary in the target language). This paper is part of a research project that attempts to trace the network of translations of the 17th and the 18th century’s courtesy books. It will focus on English and Russian translations of Jacques de Callières’ and Abbé de Bellegarde’s treatises.   \n\n\nNational Peculiarity of Boredom: English spleen\, French l’ennui\, Russian khandra.\n\nNatalia Mazur is Professor of History of Art and Provost\, European University at St. Petersburg:\n\nIn the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries\, many European philosophers\, theologians\, physicians and writers agreed that boredom was the main malady of their time. However\, the nature and the causes of boredom were explained differently in different countries. The English considered spleen\, or the “English malady\,” a serious disease often leading to suicide: people afflicted by spleen looked for medical help. The French saw the roots of l’ennui in human psychology or in the structure of the society: one could escape l’ennui through religion or revolution. The protagonists of the best Russian novels – from Pushkin's Eugene Onegin to Goncharov's Ilya Oblomov – were looking for a remedy against boredom. What has happened to boredom in the last two centuries\, what do we call it today\, and how can the history of emotions help us escape it?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Why Are Buddha Statues So Big? Space\, Time\, and Unusual Human Bodies in Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:First Annual Luis Gómez Memorial Lecture\n\nTaking the ordinary human body as a baseline\, Buddhist authors sometimes chose to imagine the human body in an exaggerated way\, on a scale utterly beyond the realm of human experience. Human bodies that extend through space until they reach the ends of the universe\; human bodies that contain everything in the universe\; human bodies whose individual body-parts are multiplied until they reach almost-infinite numbers\; human bodies whose lifespans stretch throughout eons of time to approach eternity—all of these constitute Buddhist examples of using the human body as a “corporeal code” by means of which human beings give voice to that which is immaterial\, unimaginable\, and otherwise unfathomable. This talk will examine the Buddhist use of human bodies on a non-human scale to give voice to immaterial and otherwise hard-to-conceptualize entities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Writing the Other: A Hopwood Teaching Roundtable Special Event
DESCRIPTION:Writing across identity difference is always a fraught endeavor. Yet many of us want to encourage our students to try it with thoughtfulness and care. In this workshop we'll share our classroom experiences with setting up guidelines and expectations. Our goal is to emerge from the workshop with a few models for introducing young writers to the seriousness of writing from the perspective of someone different from themselves. Please come with your anecdotes\, ideas\, and questions!\n\nRachel Ann Girty\, Zell Fellow\, served on the English Department Diversity Committee while she earned her MFA and co-created the Graduate Diversity Allies Initiatives. This year she works as Student Leadership Coordinator for the Lloyd Scholars for Writing and the Arts and mentors undergraduates through the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives.\n\nHopwood Teaching Roundtable events are primarily intended to support new teachers of undergraduate creative writing\, but all are welcome to attend.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASP Lecture | Roving Revolutionaries: Armenians and Connected Revolutions in the Russian\, Iranian\, and Ottoman Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Three of the formative revolutions that shook the early twentieth-century world occurred almost simultaneously in regions bordering each other. Though the Russian\, Iranian\, and Young Turk Revolutions all exploded between 1904 and 1911\, they have never been studied through their linkages until now. “Roving Revolutionaries” probes the interconnected aspects of these three revolutions through the involvement of the Armenian revolutionaries—minorities in all of these empires. Armenian revolutionary movements and Armenian participation within and across frontiers tell us a great deal about the global transformations that were taking shape. Exploring the geographical and ideological boundary crossings\, this archivally grounded analysis of the circulation of revolutionaries\, ideas\, and print tells the story of peoples and ideologies in upheaval and their practices of collaborating. In doing so\, the talk will illuminate our understanding of revolutions and movements.\n\nDr. Houri Berberian is Professor of History\, Meghrouni Family Presidential Chair in Armenian Studies\, and Director of the Armenian Studies Program at the University of California\, Irvine. She is the author of a number of articles and two books\, “Armenians and the Iranian Constitutional Revolution of 1905-1911: The Love for Freedom Has No Fatherland” (Perseus\, 2011) and\, most recently\, “Roving Revolutionaries: Armenians and Connected Revolutions in the Russian\, Iranian\, and Ottoman Worlds” (UC Press\, 2019).\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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Performance:Joan Shelley
DESCRIPTION:Kentucky-born singer-songwriter Joan Shelley opened for Patty Griffin at The Ark several years ago. She was recently featured on NPR's \"Fresh Air\" and has been compared to Sandy Denny and Vashti Bunyan. Joan is a songwriter and singer from Louisville. She draws inspiration from traditional and traditionally minded performers from her native Kentucky\, as well as those from Ireland\, Scotland\, and England\, but she’s not a folksinger. Her disposition aligns more closely with that of\, say\, Roger Miller\, Dolly Parton\, or her fellow Kentuckian Tom T. Hall\, who once explained—simply\, succinctly\, in a song—\"I Witness Life.\" Joan has shared shows with the likes of Bonnie \"Prince\" Billy\, Wilco\, Chris Smither\, Andrew Bird\, and Richard Thompson\, and Jeff Tweedy produced her 2017 record \"Joan Shelley\" at The Loft in Chicago. She comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Like the River Loves the Seal.\"
