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:Football & Pets: Paper Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit of Steve Wirtz’ sculptures features a selection of his Dynamic Football series and animal works. The Dynamic Football laminated paper works explore compositions of action\, allowing the artist to exploit the properties of the medium. The pieces are constructed by gluing many layers of paper over wire armatures. When dry\, the sculptures are painted in an often splashy\, sketchy style. Wirtz’ silly animal works are what the artist is best known for\, and they take shape in his Goetzville\, Michigan studio.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

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.

In Pen & Ink Queens\, Cavanagh draws inspiration from medieval and renaissance-era garments to adorn quirky\, queenly figures.

A true Michigander\, Cavanagh was born and raised in Southeast Michigan\, attended U-M\, and currently works in Detroit. Cavanagh makes a concerted effort to exhibit as much as possible in her home state\, and when she is not in her studio\, you can find her cooking\, practicing yoga or playing with her cat\, Benji.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\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:Presentation:Clinical Brown Bag:  The Neuropsychology of Stuff
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIn our current\, Western context of abundance\, we are surrounded by stuff. We are fortunate to have access to so many affordable items. Far from being simple utilitarian tools\, we have deeply personal\, emotional\, and sometimes even contentious relationships with our stuff\, as we do with other people. Most research on this topic resides either in the context of shopping and the way people overvalue their own stuff or clinical hoarding disorder\, in which people accumulate and failure to discard goods to the point of distress and impairment. Our interdisciplinary research instead assumes that all of these phenomena reflect a common\, neural and affective system that evolved to guide us toward rewarding items that we care for and protect. This system is largely adaptive\, but it can lead to bad consequences in a modern context of superabundance\, stress\, and chronic psychopathology. This talk summarizes our work in the ecological neuroscience laboratory\, which demonstrates a role for both positive and negative affect in our drive to acquire and keep goods\, which is subserved by ancient neural systems for allocating resources and produces individual differences across typical and disordered populations alike.

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: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:Workshop / Seminar:Seeking Justice for Syrian Victims of War Crimes: Possibilities and Limitations of Universal Jurisdiction
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to Ford School students only.\n\nSince 2011\, Syrians have witnessed widespread atrocities with an estimated 500\,000 killed\, tens of thousands disappeared and 12 million displaced from their homes. The International Criminal Court cannot prosecute Syrian war criminals\, and international mechanisms created by the UN have no jurisdiction to prosecute. Into this void\, European prosecutors in Special War Crimes units have invoked Universal Jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute those suspected of war crimes in Syria. Roger Lu Phillips\, Legal Director at the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre\, will discuss SJAC's work supporting Universal Jurisdiction prosecutions in Europe as well as its work ascertaining the fate of Syrian victims who have been detained or gone missing during the conflict.\n\nRoger Lu Phillips is a human rights lawyer at the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre (SJAC). He leads SJAC's coordination with special war crimes units in Europe that have undertaken the prosecution of atrocity crimes committed during the Syrian conflict through the exercise of Universal Jurisdiction.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Primate patience: from foraging to cooperation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nIntertemporal choices involving tradeoffs between benefits and time costs are ubiquitous in both human and animal lives. Several proposals argue that nonhumans are stuck in the ‘now’\, whereas future-orienting cognition allows humans to think ahead and make adaptive decisions. What is the ultimate function of high levels of patience\, and why do such abilities emerge? I will argue that a suite of decision-making capacities including inter-temporal choice and future planning evolved in the context of foraging behaviors\, and vary with ecological complexity across species. Then\, I will examine how these capacities for self-control can be generalized from foraging contexts to solve new but evolutionarily-important problems\, like cooking food. Finally\, I will present work testing the hypothesis that low levels of self-control constrain cooperation in primates\, and therefore may explain human-unique forms of ultra-sociality.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:School district segregation and the racial inertia of parental choices since 1970
DESCRIPTION:A Population Studies Center Brown Bag Seminar.\n\nSince the 1970s\, residential segregation between school districts has accounted for two thirds of all school segregation in the U.S.\, but it is unclear how much families prioritize racial characteristics of school districts when they choose where to live. I analyze the relative importance neighborhood and school district characteristics on residential selection for households from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics between 1970 and 2015 using a discrete choice analysis. A post-estimation counterfactual simulation reveals the partial effects of micro sorting behaviors on macro segregation. I find that racial avoidance has played an increasingly prominent\, but always secondary\, role in segregation between districts since 1970\, with economic and housing characteristics adding little explanatory power. More than half of district segregation is explained by tendencies to stay or move to nearby neighborhoods without crossing district lines. District recirculation reinforces the inertia of historic racial exclusion at a large\, socially meaningful spatial scale.\n\nBIO:\nPeter Rich is a sociologist at Cornell University studying the intersection of structural inequality\, individual choice\, and public policy in the United States. His work primarily examines how micro sorting processes affect policies intending to expand opportunity to under-served populations. Peter's recent projects analyze spatial inequality between school districts\, the effect of charter school expansion on racial segregation\, trends in parental residential sorting during and after the era of school desegregation\, and the contextual origins of racial gaps in educational outcomes.\n\nPSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Dark Matter Searches in LZ and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:LZ will be the world's most sensitive dark matter direct detection experiment\, starting to take data in Spring 2020. The experiment is located 1 mi underground in the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead\, SD. LZ consists of a central time projection chamber (TPC) containing 7 tonnes of liquid xenon as dark matter target surrounded by an outer detector (OD) with 17 tonnes of gadolinium doped liquid scintillator to veto neutrons. I will highlight my group's research contributions to TPC assembly as well as to design and manufacturing of the OD. I will demonstrate how the equipment we built\, combined with my analysis and phenomenological experience\, will lead to most the sensitive searches including novel signatures. The use of active veto detectors has been adopted by all upcoming direct dark matter experiments and are indispensable to the future of the field. I will present status of my program to develop novel scintillating detectors including the first concepts for future veto detectors for the next generation of dark matter experiments.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cognitive Science Seminar: Task sets serve as boundaries for the congruency sequence effect
DESCRIPTION:Psychology PhD student Lauren Grant will present \"Task sets serve as boundaries for the congruency sequence effect.\" \n\nABSTRACT\n\nCognitive control processes that enable purposeful behavior are often context-specific. A teenager\, for example\, may inhibit the tendency to daydream at work but not in the classroom. However\, the nature of contextual boundaries for cognitive control processes remains unclear. We therefore revisited an ongoing controversy over whether such boundaries reflect (1) an attentional reset that occurs whenever a context-defining (e.g.\, sensory) feature changes or (2) a disruption of episodic memory retrieval that occurs only when the updated context-defining feature is linked to a different task set. To distinguish between these hypotheses\, we employed a cross-modal distractor-interference task to determine precisely when changing a salient context-defining feature – the sensory modality in which task stimuli appear – bounds control processes underlying the congruency sequence effect (CSE). Consistent with the task set hypothesis\, but not with the attentional reset hypothesis\, Experiments 1 and 2 revealed that changing the sensory modality in which task stimuli appear eliminates the CSE only when the task structure enables participants to form modality-specific task sets. Experiment 3 further revealed that such “modality-specific” CSEs are associated with orienting attention to the sensory modality in which task stimuli appear\, which may facilitate the formation of a modality-specific task set. These findings support the view that task sets serve as boundaries for the CSE.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | SUSY Searches with ATLAS and Potential Improvements from Track Triggers
DESCRIPTION:The lack of evidence for SUSY at the LHC motivates new search strategies such as looking for scenarios with small mass differences between SUSY particles.  However\, this can bring challenges because of lower momentum visible decay products.  SUSY searches with two leptons offer the possibility to use unique shapes in the invariant mass spectrum as an additional discriminant.  In this talk\, I will go through the details of ATLAS SUSY searches with two leptons\, and show some highlights of recent SUSY results.  Additionally\, I will discuss how track triggers can enhance the discovery reach of these searches\, focusing on the ATLAS Fast TracKer as an example along with its Phase-II counterpart.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance: Anti Insurance: The Perverse Targeting of Health Insurance
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nHealth insurance typically covers not only the small probability\, large loss events emphasized by theory but also routine services like regular checkups.  Usage of such services responds to liquidity shocks\; people cut back when times are tight\, such as during an unemployment spell.  As a result\, coverage of such services is least valuable in the states of the world in which marginal utility is greatest---an anti-insurance effect.  Whether the net effect of health insurance is to improve or worsen risk exposure depends on the insured's relative exposure to health versus non-health risks.  I find that for many U.S. households\, health insurance worsens risk exposure\; on average it targets states of the world in which marginal utility is relatively low.  This highlights an important cost of the many policies that subsidize health insurance or health care.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RNA Innovation Seminar\, Auinash Kalsotra\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
DESCRIPTION:Auinash Kalsotra\, PhD\, Associate Professor of Biochemistry\, Affiliate\, Institute for Genomic Biology\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\n\nAbstract:  For many genes\, steady-state messenger (m)RNA levels provide an inaccurate reflection of the extent to which they are translated into proteins. This seminar will focus on post-transcriptional mechanisms that affect the “quality” and “quantity” of RNAs produced in a cell-type- and context-dependent manner. First\, I will describe the identification of a conserved developmentally regulated alternative splicing program that supports terminal differentiation\, functional competence\, and postnatal maturation of hepatocytes. Second\, I will show evidence that following liver injury\, this developmental splicing program is transiently re-activated to rewire a critical signaling pathway that enables proper liver regeneration. Third\, I will demonstrate that in severe alcoholic hepatitis\, the sustained re-activation of this developmental program causes hepatocytes to shed adult functions and become more regenerative but threatens overall survival by populating the liver with functionally-immature cells.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker. Civil Rights as Patient Experience: How Healthcare Organizations Handle Complaints
DESCRIPTION:The non-discrimination clause of the Affordable Care Act\, known as Section 1557\, formally expanded patients’ civil rights in nearly every healthcare setting in the U.S. in 2010. Sex discrimination was a protected category for the first time in healthcare\, and the Obama administration interpreted sex discrimination to include transgender discrimination. Regulations required healthcare organizations to name a person to handle grievances and set up an internal grievance process for resolving them. Drawing on interviews with 58 healthcare grievance handlers in four U.S. states about how they process patient complaints\, this study examines how medical organizations have responded to expanded patient rights. What does it mean to bring civil rights into U.S. healthcare settings\, and what implications are there for transgender healthcare rights in particular? We found a range of approaches to rights in healthcare settings and a dominant approach devoted to patient experience that served to diminish the power of healthcare rights. The project also extends to health insurance problems and coverage for transgender care\, religious non-discrimination rules as competing values in healthcare settings\, and the Trump administration's efforts to undo the Obama efforts to advance transgender rights.\n\nBio: Anna Kirkland\, J.D.\, Ph.D.\, is an Arthur F.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Asia as a Growth Pole: Past\, Present\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:Asia has made remarkable progress over the past decades and is now at the forefront of the global economy in growth terms. That said\, there are several near-term risks that could derail Asia’s growth momentum\, including trade tensions and too-low-for-long global interest rates.  At the same time\, there are fundamental challenges to Asia’s long-term prospects\, such as the slowdown of potential growth\, ageing\, rising inequality\, and the challenges and opportunities posed by the digital economy. In this talk\, Chang Yong Rhee\, Director of the Asia and Pacific Department at the International Monetary Fund\, will discuss Asia as a growth pole in the past\, present\, and future.\n\nChangyong Rhee is the Director of the Asia and Pacific Department at the International Monetary Fund (IMF)\, where he oversees the Fund’s work on the region\, including its lending operations and bilateral and multilateral surveillance of economies ranging from China\, Japan\, and India to the Pacific Islands. Before joining the IMF in 2014\, Mr. Rhee was Chief Economist of the Asian Development Bank (ADB)\; Secretary General and Sherpa of the Presidential Committee for the 2010 G-20 Seoul Summit\; Vice Chairman of the Financial Services Commission (FSC) and Chairman of the Securities and Futures Commission of Korea\; professor of economics at Seoul National University and the University of Rochester. He has also been a frequent policy advisor to the Government of Korea\, including in the Office of the President\, the Ministry of Finance and Economy\, the Bank of Korea\, the Korea Securities Depository\, and the Korea Development Institute. He has published widely in the fields of macroeconomics\, financial economics\, and on the Korean economy. He holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University and an undergraduate honors degree from Seoul National University\, both in economics.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 813 Seminar: Leia Stirling\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Wearable sensors provide opportunity to augment occupational therapy through telemedicine. However\, there are several design challenges embedded in creating an at-home telemonitoring system that can visualize the complex biomechanical data required for clinical decision making. These challenges include defining performance metrics that correspond to clinical needs and being able to robustly make these measures in a natural environment. In this talk\, we describe quantified metrics of motion coordination\, balance strategy\, and torso compensatory motions. These metrics were informed by clinical observations and were features monitored and synthesized to adapt the selected patient activities.\n\nLeia Stirling is an Associate Professor in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. Her research quantifies human performance and human-machine fluency to assess performance augmentation\, advance exoskeleton control algorithms\, mitigate injury risk\, and provide relevant feedback to subject matter experts across domains. She received her B.S. (2003) and M.S. (2005) in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, and her Ph.D. (2008) in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT.
