Donated funds benefit students involved in HELA - Honors in Engaged Liberal Arts (333462) as well as students applying for research and travel grants through the Strategic Fund (309547). \n\nFrom the Director's Letter in the 2019 Forum:\n\"Our new LSA Dean\, Anne Curzan\, emphasizes the importance of joy\, play\, and gratitude in our academic lives. Dean Curzan and I have known one another for twenty-one years — we both have our Ph.D.s from U-M and defended our dissertations just weeks apart — so maybe it’s no surprise that I share those commitments. In the Honors Program\, it’s easy to experience both joy and gratitude\, and as I begin my second term as Director\, going to campus every day feels more like getting to play than going to a job. Our students\, our staff\, our faculty\, and you\, our alums\, are the reason for it. \n\nPlay doesn’t mean a lack of seriousness. Our students\, in particular\, confront a world that is more competitive and more uncertain than that many of us faced at their age. (By “us” I mean those of us who need more than their fingers and toes to count the years since college graduation.) But it is exactly the younger generation’s creativity\, grit\, and innovativeness that move us\, too\, to be playful...The Honors Program both maintains its traditional strengths and builds new ways of focusing on our core values: intellectual curiosity and academic rigor. [Additional content at lsa.umich.edu/honors/news and in the 2019 Forum Vol. 23.]\n\nJoy and gratitude\, indeed. I feel it every day\, getting to work and play with our students\, the Honors staff\, our faculty and graduate instructors. And joy and gratitude to you\, as well\, our alums and friends\, who make so much of it possible. Thank you!\" UID:69398-17318565@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69398 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:honors,Honors Program LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T153628 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191203T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191203T230000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Applications Open for Detroit Community-Engaged Research Program DESCRIPTION:UROP's Detroit Community-Engaged Research Program ( DCERP) will be accepting applications for Summer 2020 through December 3rd!

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.

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.

She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059424@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:20191203T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191203T180000 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.

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.

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:66701-16770282@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:20191112T151035 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191203T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191203T120000 SUMMARY:Other:Psychology Walk-In Advising DESCRIPTION:Peer Advising Walk-Ins are great for declaring\, registration and waitlist questions\, major progress and course selection\, finding research\, careers/grad school\, and general questions. \n\nStaff Advising Walk-Ins are reserved for senior major releases\, transfer credit\, course selection and major progress.

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:58562-15002325@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:63803-15884129@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.

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.

When costs of group membership increase relative to benefits\, this can result in dramatic\, permanent changes to group composition via group fission events\, or more subtle changes to social structure. At the same time\, research in animal behavior is increasingly focused on the ways that the social environment influences individual behavior and fitness. I will discuss work using long-term data on chimpanzees in Gombe National Park\, Tanzania\, analyzing the precursors of unique community fission event\, as well as longitudinal changes to social network structure\, to better understand the costs and benefits of group membership among males. Additionally\, I will discuss the consequences of social structure on aggression between males as it relates to in-group biases in chimpanzees.

From Coffee to Tourism: Grassroots Organizations and Returned Migrants Navigating Economic Shifts in Guatemala DESCRIPTION:Much of the recent news coverage and scholarly attention on Central America has focused on reasons for migration including violence\, climate change\, and dismal economic conditions. Less common is a focus on the influence of returning migrants and the efforts of those attempting to remain. This lecture will showcase local responses in Guatemala to global economic trends\, in particular in the coffee and tourism industries. In contemporary Guatemala\, market fluctuations and disease have radically altered the structure of the coffee industry creating an opening for other raw products\, increasing migration\, and driving a shift towards a service economy. Part of this growing service economy is the tourism industry\, which is a site of political contention over national identity\, development\, culture\, the past and future. Using ethnographic data from a network of grassroots organizations in the Western Highlands of Guatemala\, this talk will discuss how local actors\, including former guerrillas\, coffee workers\, and returned migrants\, have used increased tourism for both economic and political ends. These experiences highlight the importance of transnational platform intermediaries that direct tourist flows\, opportunities for community-led development\, and the risks of a reliance on tourism.\n \n Eric Sippert is a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a Visiting Scholar with the University of Michigan Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. He is a student of Comparative Politics and Political Theory with research interests that are broadly located at the intersection of resistance\, globalization\, and development\, with a particular interest in Guatemala. Sippert's research aims to understand what types of political action (broadly understood) globalization engenders and what forms it takes. He uses ethnographic methods as well as network mapping to study how groups understand and interact with economic\, cultural\, and political transnational flows including\, but not limited to\, capital\, aid\, migration\, and tourism.

The deterioration of relations has not been caused by a single incident but is systemic and broad. China’s international and domestic overreaching has provoked a widespread backlash not just in the United States\, but in many other advanced economies as well. Within the United States\, there is talk about protecting ourselves from the perceived China threat by decoupling our intertwined economies\, and Chinese and Chinese-Americans are starting to come under suspicion. How can the two countries stabilize relations and reverse this downward spiral? \n \nSusan Shirk is the Chair of the 21st Century China Center and Research Professor at the School of Global Policy and Strategy at the University of California - San Diego.

In the U.S.\, there are 51\,000 P. aeruginosa infections\, and about 440 deaths occur each year. The common treatment method for the infection is antibiotics\, but antibiotic treatment has been becoming more and more challenging today due to the development of antibiotic resistance.\n\nAs a potential solution for this problem\, combination antibiotic therapy has been widely studied as a useful method to treat multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. The advantages of combination antibiotic therapy over monotherapy include not only prevention of development of resistance during therapy\, but also potential synergetic effect over the original potency of each of the antibiotics. Therefore\, combination antibiotics therapy may result in a more efficient treatment of P. aeruginosa in addition to preventing resistance development. However\, although some efforts have been made to investigate the best drug combinations to treat P. aeruginosa infections\, it is almost impossible to test combinations of every single type of existing antibiotic experimentally considering the time and cost.\n\nIn this project\, we used a machine learning software\, called INDIGO\, to predict drug interactions of antibiotic combinations against P. aeruginosa with a motivation to develop more effective treatments. INDIGO uses chemogenomics data and known experimental drug interaction scores to predict synergetic and antagonistic effects of new antibiotics combinations. We then assessed the accuracy of INDIGO performance by comparing the prediction results with the experimental data. INDIGO demonstrated high prediction accuracy for almost 200 new drug pairs with more than 40 different drugs. In the future\, the INDIGO algorithm will be applied to predict the effect of drug combinations on various drug-resistant strains of P. aeruginosa.

Classified by an order parameter which is an axial vector invariant under both time-reversal and spatial-inversion operations\, this order is closely related to a number of phenomena such as polar vortices\, giant magnetoelectric coupling and spin-helicity-driven ferroelectricity\, but it has received little attention so far. Here\, using high-sensitivity rotational-anisotropy second-harmonic generation\, we have exploited the electric quadrupole contribution to the second harmonic generation to directly couple to this centrosymmetric ferro-rotational order in an archetype of type-II multiferroics\, RbFe(MoO4)2. We found that two domain states with opposite ferro-rotational vectors emerge with distinct populations at the critical temperature Tc ≈ 195 K and gradually evolve to reach an even ratio at lower temperatures. Moreover\, we have identified the ferro-rotational order phase transition as weakly first order and have revealed its coupling field as a unique combination of the induced electric quadrupole second-harmonic generation and the incident fundamental electric fields.\n\n\nCeren Dag\nU-M Physics\n\nInformation Scrambling in Quantum Phases\n\nOut-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) are well-established tools for studying quantum chaos in quantum many-body systems as well as information properties of black holes. They characterize the information scrambling which is a dynamical phenomenon where both spatial and temporal correlations spread across a many-body system. Recently an unexpected relation between symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions and information scrambling has been numerically observed. We introduce a new theoretical tool to understand the reasons and the mechanism of this relation\, which makes the dynamical detection of long-range ordered quantum phases via OTOCs intuitive. Based on the studies in literature and our numerical results in the XXZ model\, our method renders the relation between information scrambling and quantum phase transitions universal.\n\nSpeaker Information: Ceren B. Dag is a graduate student in the Physics Department at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. She works towards her PhD thesis with Kai Sun and Luming Duan.

What’s Left of the Yellow Vest Movement DESCRIPTION:The emergence of the yellow vests movement\, its rapid extension\, its endurance\, and its popularity have been a source of surprise and confusion among politicians as well as commentators. Whereas it was initially viewed as a mere reaction to an increase in fuel tax\, it soon appeared to be a broader protest against the policies led by Emmanuel Macron regarded as deepening economic inequalities. Instead of responding to the claim to more social justice\, the government first expressed contempt but soon used repression\, the violence of which caused hundreds of severely wounded. Characterized by a unique repertoire of action\, an unusual combination of social groups and a grassroots organization without clear leaders\, the mobilization challenged traditional forms of democratic representation. While it is too early to assess its long-term signification\, it has however revealed the resistance of the “classes populaires” to authoritarian neoliberalism. \n\nDidier Fassin is professor of social science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris. A physician\, sociologist\, and anthropologist\, he has conducted research in various countries on issues related to inequality and immigration. His recent works are ethnographies of the police\, the justice system and the prison institution as well as on the idea of crisis. \n\nAnne-Claire Defossez is researcher in social sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Evidence for the existence of dynamic\, “activity-silent” short-term retention processes in the brain diverge from traditional models that have argued that items in WM are retained by sustained representation in buffers or activated states. Such evidence comes from the use of machine-learning analytic approaches to decode patterns of brain activity and the simultaneous administration of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to causally manipulate brain activity in specific areas and time-points. TMS has been used to 'ping' brain areas and reactivate latent representations retained in WM and affect memory performance\, but only when the information is still relevant for the current trial. These findings argue for a supplement to the sustained retention mechanisms associated with attending to information in WM. Brain decoding methods reveal dynamic\, hierarchical levels of representation in WM that vary according to task context\, from perceptual/sensory codes in posterior areas to more conceptual/abstract codes distributed across frontal-parietal regions. A Dynamic Processing Model of WM is advanced to account for the overall pattern of results.

He has published ten books of poetry\, including Sight Lines\, Compass Rose\, The Ginkgo Light\, Quipu\, The Redshifting Web: Poems 1970-1998\, and Archipelago\, all from Copper Canyon Press. He has also published The Silk Dragon: Translations from the Chinese and edited Chinese Writers on Writing. A bilingual Chinese/English selected poems\, Pig’s Heaven Inn\, was published in Beijing\, and he has also collaborated with sculptor Susan York to create a book and installation\, The Unfolding Center.\n \nKnown for his difficult\, meticulous poems\, Sze’s work has been described as the “intersection of Taoist contemplation\, Zen rock gardens and postmodern experimentation” by the critic John Tritica. The poet Dana Levin described Sze as “a poet of what I would call Deep Noticing\, a strong lineage in American poetry… Dispassionate presentation of ‘the thing itself’ is its prevailing attribute\, yet Sze’s attention is capacious\; it’s attracted to paradox\; it takes facing opponents and seats them side by side.” In addition\, K. Michel\, a Dutch poet writing for Poetry International says\, “Sze’s work is characterized by its unusual combination of images and ideas\, and by the surprising way in which he makes connections between diverse aspects of the world. In his poetry he combines images from urban life and nature\, ideas from modern astronomy and Chinese philosophy as well as anecdotes from rural and industrial America. In this way\, he creates texts that capture and reflect the complexity of reality.”\n \nSze’s many awards include The Jackson Poetry Prize from Poets & Writers\, a Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Writers’ Award\, a Lannan Literary Award\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, two National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing fellowships\, a Howard Foundation Fellowship\, and five grants from the Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry. From 2012-2017\, he served as a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets and\, in 2017\, was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is a professor emeritus at the Institute of American Indian Arts and lives in Santa Fe\, New Mexico.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. Onsite book sales will be provided by Literati Bookstore. \n \nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester.

This group can help you build skills to counter the effects.\n\nIf you think social anxiety is negatively affecting your relationships\, your work\, or your overall mental health\, this group might be the next step for you. Clinicians at the Psychological Clinic use evidence-based group therapy to help participants learn to identify and shift unhealthy thinking patterns. You will build coping skills and increase confidence in a supportive environment and at your own pace. The group will meet on Tuesdays\, beginning October 15\, 2019\, for eight weeks\, with an additional follow-up booster session a month after the program’s conclusion.\n\n\nIf you think this group is the right fit for you\, call the Psych Clinic at (734) 764-3471 to schedule an individual\, preliminary screening.

Book Workshop with Professor Alexander Knysh DESCRIPTION:IISS is pleased to announce our first book workshop of the semester with Prof. Alexander Knysh on his most recent book Sufism: A New History of Islamic Mysticism. Prof. Knysh's new monograph explores the history and intellectual vicissitudes of Islamic mystical and philosophical thought in historical perspective. The distinctive aspect of the New History is a comparative element\, which is present in almost all of its six chapters: Muslim approaches to Sufism are compared with Orientalist ones\, while Sufi discourses are contrasted with Neoplatonic\, Jewish and Christian traditions. This groundbreaking monograph is critical not only for understanding the complex phenomenon that is Sufism\, but also for gaining insight into the significant methodological issues of modern historiography.

Two years ago\, things were changing fast\, and the songwriter didn’t want to forget. \"I often think of Leonard Cohen’s line\, 'I hope you’re keeping some kind of record\,'\" Leif says. \"So I did.\" It was like he was pretending you can compose a soundtrack to your own life (which perhaps you can). In the end\, \"New Ways\" is a document of everything felt\, the way each moment arrived and moved through him. Whereas his Polaris Prize–winning \"Twin Solitude\" was about self-reflection\, \"New Ways\" is about engaging and changing\, touching and being touched. It’s a physical record\, with louder and tighter grooves\, and the rawest lyrics the musician has ever recorded. A portrait of beauty\, desire\, longing\, risk\, remembrance—without an instant of regret. \"She’s my woman and she loved me so fine\,\" goes the chorus to one tune. \"She’ll never be back.\" UID:64345-16324400@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64345 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191105T142315 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191203T235900 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191203T235900 SUMMARY:Other:Cultural Vistas - Summer 2020 Internships in Germany DESCRIPTION:Cultural Vistas' Summer Internship Program in Germany with the University of Michigan provides students with unique and enriching opportunities to enhance their careers while experiencing life and culture abroad during their summer break.\n\nInternship placements are available in a variety of fields and are customized to match students’ career goals.
