We’re committed to achieving this bold goal. Through the Artemis program\, we will go to the Moon in a way we have never gone before – with innovative new partnerships\, technologies and systems to explore the entire lunar surface. Then we will use what we learn on the Moon to take the next giant leap – sending astronauts to Mars.”\n- NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine\n\n\nThink you have issues with sibling rivalry? Or do you get along with your favorite brother or sister? NASA has named its new program to return to the Earth’s moon “Artemis”\, the twin sister of Apollo and Greek mythological goddess of the Moon. With plans to land the first woman and next man on the Lunar South Pole by 2024\, U.S. space policy provides the direction for NASA to more effectively organize government\, commercial and international efforts to develop a sustainable presence on the Moon and beyond. Come hear one of NASA’s senior managers talk about NASA’s exploration campaign which cuts across three strategic areas: low-Earth orbit\, the Moon\, and Mars & deeper into space and how American leadership will drive an open\, sustainable and agile architecture\, with international and commercial partners\, to get astronauts back on the lunar surface as quickly as possible via the Artemis Program.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nThroughout her successful 30 year NASA career\, Trudy Kortes has developed a unique speaking style and brand of leadership\, championing compelling tools that elevate leaders and their ability to connect. Her strong reputation for maneuvering technically challenging and complex workplace dynamics to meet objectives and empower leaders and teams is indisputable. And as the winner of the 2017 NASA Headquarters talent show for stand-up comedy\, it is her authentic\, relatable presence that is perhaps most powerful. \n\nTrudy offers speaking\, panel moderation\, career mentoring\, and consulting services on a variety of leadership and workplace topics. Her focus is on helping women in STEM fields excel and raising across-the-board awareness of the challenges faced along the way as a means to help shift the collective mindset towards one of a healthy\, holistic work environment that can meet the demands of a changing world.

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.

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:63992-16059413@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:20191122T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T180000 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.

The workshop will be hosted jointly by the Nam Center for Korean Studies as part of University of Michigan’s Perspectives on Contemporary Korea conference series.\n\nThis year’s gathering focuses on the culture of division. The recent\, highly publicized crossings of the Thirty-Eighth Parallel by Kim Jong-un\, Moon Jae-in\, and Donald Trump have dramatized the possible dissolution in the foreseeable future of what South Korean critic Paik Nak-chung has called the “division system”: the interdependence of seemingly hostile actors borne of and sustained by the partition of the Korean peninsula. As a defining feature of Northeast Asian geopolitics since the second half of the twentieth century\, the division system gave rise to extreme and violent forms of physical\, linguistic\, and cultural territorializations even as it conditioned diasporic Korean communities in Northeast Asia and authored vectors of unexpected movement. Reflecting on the historical complexities of the division system as it faces its potential demise\, the conference seeks to shed light on the varied literary and cultural experiences that were mediated by the Korean language under the condition of division by considering together the literatures of the two Koreas\, as well as Korean-language writings produced in Japan and Northeast China. How did the division system shape literature in these regions? How did literature and film challenge this system from within and across national boundaries? And how might the concept and practice of Korean literature change in a post-division era within a rapidly changing mediascape? Especially welcome are papers that consider the study of Korean literature and film broadly or approach specific authors and works in relation to the following list of topics.\n\nWar\, division\, memory\nKorean diaspora in Northeast Asia\nCross-border movements (including wŏlbuk\, wŏlnam\, nappuk\, and t’albuk)\nCensorship and canon-making in North and South Korea\nConcepts of minor literature in Northeast Asia\nGlobal cold war and notions of neutrality\nBilingualism and translation UID:64517-16380907@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64517 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,Korea LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 1010 | 10th Floor Event Space CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191111T105153 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T170000 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.

But they can also give hospitals excessive bargaining leverage\, leading to increased reimbursement rates and premiums. To study this\, I develop and estimate a model of network formation and bargaining between hospitals and insurers. Crucially\, my bargaining formulation allows insurers to threaten to replace an in-network hospital with an out-of-network one. Applied to a health insurance market in Massachusetts\, my model predicts that regulations mandating large minimum network sizes can raise prices substantially. Also\, surprisingly\, network adequacy regulations can cause “broad-network” plans to downsize.

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:66701-16770271@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:20191119T090744 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T180000 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.

This estimation is complicated by the fact that genes can evolve under processes\, including incomplete lineage sorting (ILS)\, gene duplication and loss (GDL) and horizontal gene transfer (HGT)\, that make their trees conflict with the species history. I will survey recent progress on some statistical questions that arise in this context. Specifically\, the identifiability of standard probabilistic models of phylogenomic data will be discussed\, as well as the large-sample properties of computationally efficient methods for species tree estimation.

The exhibit is a tribute to antiquarian bookseller and outstanding Americanist William S. Reese (1955-2018)\, drawing upon Reese's 2017 book \"The Best of the West\" for its descriptions of the titles on display. \n\nThe books and pamphlets in the exhibition range chronologically from Miguel Venegas' 1757 \"Noticia de la California\" to Thomas F. Dawson & F. J. V. Skiff's 1879 \"The Ute War.\" In between are dozens of the rarest examples of western Americana primary sources\, in Spanish\, French\, English\, and German. They include discovery and exploration narratives\, 19th-century overland narratives\, prints and views of Native Americans\, color-plate books\, gold and silver mining reports\, and other glimpses of the trans-Mississippi West.

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:58562-15002316@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:63803-15884120@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.

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.

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.

Have you ever seen highway information boards with travel time estimates and wanted to know where they came from? Or maybe you’ve wondered how emergency responders coordinate to respond to traffic accidents on the highway?  Well you’re in luck! This Friday\, 11/22\, MiTSO will be offering a tour of the Oakland County Traffic Operations Center (TOC). The TOC is responsible for monitoring all county intersections in real-time\, adjusting traffic lights and coordinating them as necessary to reduce congestion. Additionally\, they coordinate with emergency response and law enforcement in order to respond to and clear accidents that further block the roads. The tour is scheduled for 1pm-4pm. We will be leaving from north campus around 11:30am and will be back to campus before 5pm. Transportation will be provided. Please fill out the google form (https://forms.gle/qakMZ8u2DBotAnj56) by noon on Wednesday (11/20) if you are interested so that we can organize transportation!  UID:69562-17362151@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Oakland County Traffic Operation Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191112T120240 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T125000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Human Performance Seminar (836): Don Chaffin\, PhD\, Nadine Sarter\, PhD\, U-M IOE DESCRIPTION:The Human Performance Seminar Series (836) from the Center for Ergonomics is open to all. U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nBack to the Future—The C4E Story\n\nAbstract:\nFrom 1960 to 2000\, several major social and economic conditions in the US created the need and opportunity for multiple disciplines to combine in an effort to improve a variety of environments for people of all ages. This seminar will discuss how these conditions led faculty members from IOE\, Environmental and Occupational Health\, Statistics\, Psychology\, Pediatrics\, Anthropology\, and the Transportation Research Institute to collaborate and then form the Center for Ergonomics in 1980. Early problems addressed by these faculty members and their students led to methods and solutions related to improving: Apollo EVA/IVA tasks\, Child Product Safety Requirements\, OSHA Fall Protection Requirements\, Occupational Weight Lifting Requirements\, Aircraft Baggage Handling Limitations\, Disney Resort Manual Activity Requirements\, Automobile Egress and Ingress Designs\, to name a few. More recently\, the emphasis in workplace and product design has broadened and shifted from supporting primarily physical task requirements to addressing the perceptual and cognitive demands imposed by increasingly automated and (semi)autonomous technologies. The second part of this talk will highlight recent C4E research and accomplishments\, and discuss future opportunities in the areas of human-machine teaming and human-robot interaction.

There are hundreds of active shortages each year\, and they persist for an average of fourteen months. Shortages are often caused by supply chain disruptions. In this work\, I present a multi-stage stochastic program that optimizes a pharmaceutical company’s supply chain design under uncertainty in component availability. Components include suppliers of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)\,\nmanufacturing plants\, and lines. It is one of the first models to consider the effects of disruption and recovery over time and for facilities at multiple echelons. I introduce a replenishment rule to enforce the nonanticipativity constraints implicitly and solve a thirteen stage program. I study the effects of policies that have been proposed to reduce shortages on supply chains of example oncology drugs.\n\nBio:\nEmily L. Tucker is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. She received her MSE in IOE from Michigan and her BS in Industrial Engineering from NC State. Prior to graduate school\, she worked as a Research Health Economist for RTI International.

Teachers give lower grades to immigrant students compared to natives with the same performance in standardized tests. Differences in grading are bigger for teachers with stronger stereotypes\, elicited through an Implicit Associa-tion Test (IAT). We reveal teachers their own IAT score\, randomizing the timing of disclosure. Teachers informed before grading increase grades assigned to immigrants. This result is driven by teachers who do not report explicit views against immigrants and who receive a more precise signal of their implicit bias.\n\nAlberto Alesina\, Michela Carlana\, Eliana La Ferrara\, Paolo Pinotti UID:68423-17080056@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68423 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 201 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T111359 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T140000 SUMMARY:Other:MIW Application Deadline-February 14\, 2020 DESCRIPTION:Regular admission deadline for Fall 2020 and early admission Winter 2021.

In this talk\, I will present a collection of findings from my research program that suggest not only are deviant behaviors costly\, but they are also a way in which covert varieties of sexism and racism persist in today’s organizations. Grounded in theories of modern discrimination\, I will display data that illuminates a dark side of organizational life: low-level forms of rudeness and mistreatment that are often disregarded as trivial. I suggest that to truly equal the playing field\, organizations must root out interpersonal experiences that undermine women’s (and men’s) success and satisfaction. Further\, I will present findings on how the process of incivility harm unfolds as a function of individual differences. However\, I will also complicate this picture with my recent research that finds an unexpected potential bright-side to uncivil interactions. The goal of my work is to inform academic theory and to encourage workplace interventions that both minimize incivility and gender harassment and help those experiencing these types of stressors.

The absence of early-forming ultra-compact minihalos (UCMHs) establishes an upper bound on the amplitude of the primordial power spectrum on small scales and has been used to constrain inflationary models. I will show how numerical simulations of UCMH formation reveal that these constraints need to be revised because the dark matter annihilation rate within UCMHs is lower than has been assumed. Nevertheless\, we have found that minihalos can still provide unrivaled constraints on the small-scale primordial power spectrum. The abundance of minihalos also encodes information about the evolution of the Universe prior to Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). I will discuss how the pre-BBN thermal history can enhance the minihalo population\, thereby boosting the dark matter annihilation rate if dark matter is a thermal relic. Conversely\, the nonthermal production of dark matter can suppress the small-scale power spectrum. It is therefore possible to use gamma-ray observations and observations of the Lyman-α forest to learn about the origins of dark matter and the evolution of the Universe during its first second.

In the motivational part of the talk\, I will show that these applications possess features that make them “easy” to control\, while numerous potential applications remain outside our reach. To explain why\, I will\nfirst demonstrate that feedback control is a powerful—almost miraculous—technology\, and then deliver the bad news that the same technology can be extremely dangerous. In the technical part of the talk\, I will describe recent advances in adaptive control aimed at challenges that make many problems—such as scramjet engines and the power grid—hard. Finally\, in the provocative part of the talk\, I will argue that feedback control is anti-scientific since its ultimate goal is to manipulate the world without fully modeling it.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nProfessor Bernstein’s interests include identification\, estimation\, and control for aerospace applications. His research has focused on active noise and vibration control\, adaptive flight control\, and attitude control for space applications. His current interests are in the theory and application of nonlinear system identification\, large-scale state estimation for data assimilation\, and adaptive control. He was Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Control Systems Magazine from 2003 to 2011. He has coauthored more than 200 journal papers and 400 conference papers\, and he is the author of Scalar\, Vector\, and Matrix Mathematics\, third edition published in 2018.

A common way that word meaning is extended is via conceptual metaphors. For instance\, we can talk about experiences as if they were food (a bitter pill\; a treat). Such metaphorically extended words and phrases are regularly used even when literal paraphrases exist\, which raises the question as to why metaphorical language is so common. fMRI work has found that literal meanings remain active even when words are used metaphorically\, which may imply that metaphorical uses of words have richer semantic representations. Moreover\, recent work has found that metaphorical statements and short stories activate the amygdala more than carefully matched literal paraphrases\, indicating that conceptual metaphors are more engaging than their literal counterparts. \n\n*The work to be presented was done in collaboration with Francesca Citron of Lancaster University.

In contrast\, the tiny world of atomic and subatomic particles is held together by nuclear and quantum forces. As one sizes up from the subatomic to the astronomical scales\, a natural question emerges: What fundamental principles govern the world of the “in-between”? In other words\, what happens to the laws of nature when the time and spatial scales are neither large nor small? In this talk\, I invite you to a journey through the mesoscopic wonderland of dusty plasma\, where principles are semi-classical\, forces are non-linear\, thermodynamics is non-equilibrium\, and dimensions are quasi-defined. We will tour this almost impossible world by exploring dusty plasmas in nature and laboratory\, both on Earth and in space.\n\nBIO: Dr. Kostadinova obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Physics at Furman University in South Carolina in 2014. She received her Doctoral degree in December 2017 from Baylor University. The focus of her dissertation was employing new mathematical techniques in the study of transport in two-dimensional disordered systems. Her dissertation work was published as a book by Springer in 2018.\nCurrently\, Dr. Kostadinova works as an assistant research professor at Baylor University’s Center for Astrophysics Space Physics and Engineering Research (CASPER). Her primary research interests lie along the intersections of fundamental physics and applied mathematics. Those include the onset of turbulence and instabilities in disordered media\, nonlocal interactions in correlated systems\, self-organization and stability of dusty plasmas in gravity and microgravity conditions\, thermodynamics of non-Hamiltonian systems\, and dust particle techniques for plasma diagnostics. Dr. Kostadinova’s works for the Plasmakristall-4 project – the latest dusty plasma laboratory on board the International Space Station. Most recently\, her work has focused on developing a spectral approach to the onset of Kolmogorov turbulence in dusty plasma liquids.

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.

Working together for the first time\, the two groups–b-boys (or breakdancers) and voguers–brought different views on choreography\, fashion\, gender\, and sexuality into the workshop\, differences that nearly led to the cancellation of a planned public performance. The U.S. facilitators were initially unaware of the conflict and were only able to avert disaster with the help of a local dancer who was serving as an interpreter. This case study opens up space to discuss a range of broader issues and subjects\, including cross-cultural artistic collaboration\, conflict transformation\, diplomacy\, gender constructions\, queerness in dance\, and the history of U.S. intervention abroad. The presentation draws on the author’s participation in and observation of the program\, as well as interviews with U.S. and Indonesian participants. Photos and video of the workshop and performance will accompany the presentation.

What do we know about him beyond his bland title as the President of the People’s Republic of China? As the strongest Chinese leader in recent years\, President Xi Jinping has overseen a multitude of changes affecting both China’s domestic sphere and the international community. Thus\, how did he come to power? What role will he play in the history of our time? From the anti-corruption campaign to “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era\,” how has he transformed the political climate within one of the last surviving parties with “anti-capitalist” principles? What about the economy? Though no longer based on communist principles\, it is certainly not the liberal free-market western scholars envisioned it to be. Yet\, it is nevertheless characterized by rapid urban development\, consumer market growth\, and technological breakthrough\, though complicated by downward pressure in recent years. How have these domestic factors together challenged Sino-US relations? How can the two countries work together to prevent a downward spiral? With China’s rising global influence\, it is never too early to be acquainted with the face of China in the new era. Come join us at a panel discussion moderated by professor Ann Chih Lin\, with professors Mary Gallagher\, Alan Deardorff\, and WCED fellow Jundai Liu as panelists\, on how President Xi Jinping has reshaped contemporary Chinese politics and its relations with the United States!

In contrast\, current AI systems are bound to the specific tasks for which they were originally programmed. We have seen great advances in the ability of AI systems to learn to do individual tasks at human expert levels (e.g.\, Chess\, Go\, and video games)\, but they are hopeless when presented with a new task. As AI systems become more prevalent\, we need to start asking how can we teach them to do what we want. Join us for an evening to discuss research on how we are building AI systems that learn new tasks through natural language instruction and demonstrations. \n\nWhat is the state-of-the-art in teaching robots new tasks through natural interaction? \nWhat are the key challenges? \nWhat are the potential applications and who will benefit?

The Canadian-Scots band Enter the Haggis (bagpiper Craig Downie is from Scotland) has just about as much variety in their style\, a high-speed collision of Celtic music\, rock\, bluegrass\, funk\, and world music. An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast—dynamic and emotionally uplifting. Alternating between upbeat rock numbers with sing-along choruses and slower\, more introspective alt pop songs\, the band plays progressive and lyrically driven music that’s strongly rooted in Celtic tradition—from the storytelling to the bagpipes. Enter the Haggis returns to The Ark with an as-yet-untitled new release—be the first one on your block!
