First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

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

Such imperial systems were durable\, ruling over vast territories for long durations of time. The Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire\, for example\, each lasted for almost 700 years\, the Mongols and Comanche Empires for about two centuries\, while some have argued the Chinese Empire endured for well over 4\,000 years. All empires faced resistance and rebellion in some form and to some degree.\n\nImperial systems and those who have opposed\, resisted\, and rebelled against imperial power\, politics\, and culture have played a long and important role in global history. Given how important empires\, decolonization\, and independence movements have been\, it is not surprising that we have a rich historical\, literary and artistic heritage that captures the impact empires and liberation from imperial control has had on individuals\, peoples\, communities\, and the world.\n\nThe World History and Literature Initiative’s (WHaLI) three-day conference for secondary teachers will focus on these issues using examples drawn from different historical times and areas of the world. In addition to helping teachers develop their knowledge and understanding of this Empires\, imperial practices\, independence movements and decolonization in world history and literature\, the conference also illuminates challenges students face in learning such content and explores ways teachers might meet those challenges. WHaLI conference provides participants with relevant resources as well as lunch and refreshments. This year we will meet on December 6 (Friday)\, December 7 (Saturday) and December 14 (Saturday).\n\nRegistration: https://payments.lsa.umich.edu/whali/ UID:64242-16260522@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64242 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:International LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191122T104619 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T143000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Forum on Defense and Diplomacy in Afghanistan DESCRIPTION:This forum will engage policymakers\, military officials\, academic experts\, diplomats and other thought leaders to examine challenges and opportunities at the intersection of defense and diplomacy during this crucial transitional period in Afghanistan. It will feature three public panels and a pair of keynote sessions\, as well as a smaller\, closed-door academic workshop in the afternoon. The conversation will be wide- ranging but will focus on a few major themes: \n\n● Recalibrating in defense and diplomacy. How should the roles and responsibilities of U.S. allied military forces and resident diplomats evolve to reflect the changing political conditions in Afghanistan? \n\n● Keeping the peace. What types of diplomatic arrangements will be necessary to help maintain any cease-fire between the Afghan government and the Taliban and help promote a lasting peace? What form of U.S. and/or international military engagement will be appropriate in that context? \n\n● Promoting democracy\, development and the rule of law. What priorities should the international community set for domestic developments in Afghanistan looking forward? How might a political transition in Afghanistan challenge democratic governance\, inclusive development\, human rights and the rule of law? What tools are available to meet these challenges and seize opportunities?\n\nFor the event agenda please visit: https://umich.box.com/s/e637svug67s6ewxu4v9eunm3jp8cm3s6 UID:69715-17390844@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69715 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Afghanistan,Defense,Diplomacy,international policy,international relations,Public Policy,Weiser Diplomacy Center LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190823T100616 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan DESCRIPTION:Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059427@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:20190724T155824 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T120000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Group Facilitation Training DESCRIPTION:Do you want to brush up on your facilitation skills so that you can feel comfortable leading one of OLLI’s many fine courses?

Even though they might all go out for a “Chinese” meal\, there is little uniformity to what arrives on their plates\, in their bowls\, or at the tips of their chopsticks or forks. In Germany\, “Chinese” food could mean ribs in hoisin sauce\, served with pickled cucumbers\; in India\, deep-fried vegan cauliflower\; and in South Korea\, sweet brown sauce on a plate of beef noodles. What do these diverse examples tell about the nature of Chinese food? How does a global perspective deepen our understanding of culinary authenticity and heritage? These questions will be the focus of Global Chinese Food. The conference will bring scholars of Asian American\, African\, Chinese Studies\, Latin American\, and Japanese into a wide-ranging and exciting conversation. The conference is free and open to the public. \n\nOrganized by Professor Miranda Brown (@Dong_Muda)\, Asian Languages and Cultures.\n\nThis conference is sponsored by Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies with additional support provided by the Departments of History\, American Culture\, Asian Languages and Culture\; the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; the Institute for Humanities\; the Confucius Institute\; Office of Research\; and the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.

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.

These considerations are particularly relevant in many developing countries’ education systems where private schools capture high market shares while public schools are overcrowded. We study the equilibrium effects of public provision in the context of a large expansion of public schools in the Dominican Republic. Over a five-year period\, the government aimed to increase the number of public school classrooms by 78%. Using an event study framework\, we estimate the effect of a new public school on neighborhood outcomes and competing private schools\, where we instrument for how quickly the public school construction project finished with whether the procurement lottery randomly assigned the project to a firm or an unaffiliated individual. We find that a new public increased neighborhood students’ test scores\, both in the public and private sectors. As public enrollment increased\, a large number of private schools closed while the surviving schools lowered prices and increased investment in school quality. To study how the provision of high quality schools varies with the level of public provision\, and to compare the effects to the alternative policy of public financing\, we specify an empirical model of demand (students choosing schools) and supply (schools choosing whether to stay open\, how much to invest in quality\, and what price to charge).

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:66701-16770285@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:20191204T110909 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T100000 SUMMARY:Performance:Second Year MFA Works in Progress Showing DESCRIPTION:In the Fall of their second year\, Master of Fine Arts in Dance candidates translate information and inspiration gained from their summer research trips into choreographed dance works.

These structural constraints usually come from the domain experts’ prior knowledge or insight. The emerging family of Structured Latent Attribute Models (SLAMs) accommodate these modeling needs and have received substantial attention in psychology\, education\, and epidemiology. SLAMs bring exciting opportunities and unique challenges. In particular\, with high-dimensional discrete latent attributes and structural constraints encoded by a design matrix\, one needs to balance the gain in the model’s explanatory power and interpretability\, against the difficulty of understanding and handling the complex model structure. \n\nIn the first part of this talk\, I present identifiability results that advance the theoretical knowledge of how the design matrix influences the estimability of SLAMs. The new identifiability conditions guide real-world practices of designing cognitive diagnostic tests and also lay the foundation for drawing valid statistical conclusions. In the second part\, I introduce a statistically consistent penalized likelihood approach to selecting significant latent patterns in the population. I also propose a scalable computational method. These developments explore an exponentially large model space involving many discrete latent variables\, and they address the estimation and computation challenges of high-dimensional SLAMs arising in large-scale scientific measurements. The application of the proposed methodology to the data from an international educational assessment reveals meaningful knowledge structures and latent subgroups of the student populations.

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:58562-15784130@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:63803-15884132@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.

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.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\n“The Lumberjack Model of Human-Automation Interaction: The Higher the Tree\, the Harder It Falls”\n\nAbstract:\nThe lumberjack model proposes a relation between the degree of automation and 4 human performance measures: Performance when automation works as intended\, performance when automation fails\, workload\, and situation awareness. The degree of automation refers jointly to what stage of human information processing automation supports: selective attention\, diagnosis\, decision making and action execution\, and to the level of automation within a stage. Accordingly\, with a higher degree of automation\, routine performance is improved and workload reduced\, but performance when automation fails is degraded\, a degradation that is caused by a progressively greater loss of situation awareness with a higher degree of automation.\n\nProfessor Wickens will describe the results of a meta-analysis and two experiments that support\, to varying degrees\, the 4 trends underlying the lumberjack model. In the first experiment\, participants (Wolverines!!) perform a robotics task\, that is assisted by either a low or high degree of imperfect automation. In the second experiment\, air traffic controllers employ an imperfect automated decision aid. The second experiment also shows how the costs of automation failure can be cushioned by building transparency into automation operations.\n\nBio:\nChris Wickens received his PhD in psychology from the University of Michigan in 1974\, after serving 3 years in the US Navy. He was a Professor in Psychology at University of Illinois from 1974-2005. From 1984-2005 he was also jointly appointed with the Department of Industrial Engineering\, and the Institute of Aviation\, where he was Associate Director and Head of the Aviation Human Factors Division.\n\nHe has published two textbooks in human factors and engineering psychology\, and 6 other professional books\, and has co-authored over 250 articles in refereed publications or book chapters. His research interests are in the human factors of transportation systems\, the study of human attention and its relevance to display design\, and human-automation interaction. He is an avid mountain climber.

Being able to accurately estimate the probability distribution of the number of customers without power by using data about the power utility system\, environmental and weather conditions has the potential to help utilities restore power more quickly and efficiently. In this research\, we develop two frameworks to address these issues. In the first framework\, we propose an adaptive two-stage algorithm based on Bayesian model averaging in order to form an ensemble model predicting daily distributions of customer outages. In this algorithm\, weights of the base learners depend on the features and they get updated as new data is observed. In the second framework\, we focus on the zero inflation issue of power outage data in resolutions smaller than county level. To overcome the challenges caused by zero-inflation\, e.g.\, bias and inaccuracy\, we propose a novel approach integrating mixture models with cost-sensitive learning. For both frameworks\, we conduct numerical studies using large\, real datasets of power outages. We show that our approaches offer more accurate point and probabilistic predictions than traditional approaches\, better supporting utility restoration planning.\n\nBio:\nElnaz Kabir is a PhD Candidate in the Industrial and Operations Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. Her research is grounded in predictive analytics\, data-driven decision making\, and risk analysis. In her research\, Elnaz is interested to use statistical learning theories\, and optimization techniques to better understand and solve important problems related to power outages caused by weather events. The results of her studies are used by practitioners of the utility companies in order to make better decisions to reduce the risk of weather-events to the power system.

It has become a rallying point for political issues ranging from abortion to gay liberation to sex education. Yet this notion of privacy originated not only from legal arguments\, nor solely from political movements on the left or the right\, but instead from ambivalent moderates who valued both personal freedom and the preservation of social norms.\n\nIn The Closet and the Cul-de-Sac\, Clayton Howard chronicles the rise of sexual privacy as a fulcrum of American cultural politics. Beginning in the 1940s\, public officials pursued an agenda that both promoted heterosexuality and made sexual privacy one of the state's key promises to its citizens. The 1944 G.I. Bill\, for example\, excluded gay veterans and enfranchised married ones in its dispersal of housing benefits. At the same time\, officials required secluded bedrooms in new suburban homes and created educational campaigns designed to teach children respect for parents' privacy. In the following decades\, measures such as these helped to concentrate middle-class families in the suburbs and gay men and lesbians in cities.\n\nIn the 1960s and 1970s\, the gay rights movement invoked privacy to attack repressive antigay laws\, while social conservatives criticized tolerance for LGBT people as an assault on their own privacy. Many self-identified moderates\, however\, used identical rhetoric to distance themselves from both the discriminatory language of the religious right and the perceived excesses of the gay freedom struggle. Using the Bay Area as a case study\, Howard places these moderates at the center of postwar American politics and shows how the region's burgeoning suburbs reacted to increasing gay activism in San Francisco. The Closet and the Cul-de-Sac offers specific examples of the ways in which government policies shaped many Americans' attitudes about sexuality and privacy and the ways in which citizens mobilized to reshape them.\n\n \nAbout the speaker:\nClayton Howard earned his PhD in history from the University of Michigan in 2010\, and he is an associate professor of history at the Ohio State University. He is a specialist in the postwar histories of sexuality\, politics\, cities\, and suburbs. His book The Closet and the Cul-de-Sac was published in March 2019\, and an essay that he wrote on the Log Cabin Republicans will appear in an anthology entitled Beyond the Politics of the Closet: Gay Rights and the American State Since the 1970s.\n \nLunch will be provided.

Evidence on the Multidimensionality of School Output DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nIs a school’s impact on high-stakes test scores a good measure of its overall impact on students? Do parents value school impacts on tests\, longer-run outcomes\, or both? To answer the first question\, we exploit quasi-random school assignments and data from Trinidad and Tobago. We construct exogenous instruments for each individual school and estimate the causal impacts of individual schools on several short- and longer-run outcomes. Schools’ impacts on high-stakes tests are weakly related to impacts on low-stakes tests\, dropout\, crime\, teen motherhood\, and formal labor market participation. To answer the second question\, we link estimated school\nimpacts to parents’ ranked lists of schools. We propose a modified mulitnomial logit model that allows one to infer preferences for school attributes even in some settings where choices are strategic. Parents of higher-achieving students value schools that improve high-stakes test scores conditional on average outcomes\, proximity\, and even peer quality. Parents also value schools that reduce crime and increase formal labor market participation. Most parents’ preferences for school impacts on labor-market and crime outcomes are\, as strong\, or stronger than those for test scores. These results provide a potential explanation for recent findings that parent preferences are not strongly related to test-score impacts. They also suggest that evaluations based solely on test scores may be very misleading about the welfare effects of school choice.

Some evidence suggests that medicine is exceptional in some ways in comparison to other fields\, even within the sciences. For example\, a recent report from the US National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine suggested that female medical students are 220% more likely than students from non-STEM disciplines to experience sexual harassment. Given the tremendous power and influence of the medical profession\, Dr. Jagsi will argue that we must study these issues carefully. Doing so can offer a unique lens with which to understand the broader forces driving inequity in society more generally and help to illuminate possible levers for influencing broader societal attitudes and behaviors. As a scholar whose research has long focused on understanding the mechanisms leading to inequity in the medical profession\, Dr. Jagsi will begin by providing an overview of the patterns of women's participation in the profession of medicine. She will then describe studies led by her team and others that have investigated the drivers of women's persistent under-representation among the leaders of the medical profession\, even in an era when half of all medical students are female. These include myriad complex challenges\, including gendered expectations\, unconscious bias\, and overt discrimination and harassment. She conclude by discussing innovative interventions that have been implemented to begin the process of cultural transformation in medicine\, in the hopes that they may also provide inspiration for initiatives in other settings.

Inman\nCognate: Professor Kon-Well Wang\nMembers:\nProfessor Henry Sodano\nAssociate Professor Veera Sundararaghavan\n\nPresentation Info:\nDate: 12/6\nTime: 2:00 PM\nLocation: McDivitt Conference Room\n\nThe use of mechanical metamaterials\, or metastructures\, for vibration suppression has recently emerged as an approach to creating vibrationally resilient systems. Although many metastructures predict an improved performance\, many have not been experimentally validated due to the previous infeasibility of manufacturing their complex geometries. \n\nAdditionally\, existing research has only considered designs excited in one or two directions. This research successfully designs and fabricates the first multi-axis mechanical metamaterial design capable of attenuating vibration in three directions of excitation (longitudinal\, transverse\, and torsional) and experimentally validates its performance against FEM and analytical models.\n\nThis work analyzes cases where using a highly damped material will outperform an optimized geometry and determines a dividing line between material damping and vibration absorption in mechanical metamaterial design. These criteria can help determine whether it is necessary to undergo costly geometric optimization processes.\n \nThe peak separation capabilities of the multi axis mechanical metamaterial are considered for augmentation through a control system located on the distributed absorber system. A pole placement control system was introduced to adjust the natural frequencies of the absorbers. Additional insight on control use in mechanical metamaterials is discussed\, including recommendations on when an active control system should be considered.

That complexity is rooted in Plato's own texts\, offering as they do competing views on the nature of the soul. How did the soul (psyche) come to stand in for the interiority of the human person? How did the idea of an incorporeal self come to occupy an unbroken tradition of over one thousand years\, pervading cultures around the Mediterranean basin\, but rooted in ideas that can be directly traced back to Plato’s texts? Over that millennium\, questions arose as to the existence of a world soul or even of an evil soul\, the cosmic function of the soul\, the way that the soul thinks\, how soul governs or enlivens the body\, the pre-existence of the soul\, its fall into embodiment\, etc. How did soul come to have so many disparate functions and configurations in the Platonic tradition?\n\nIn celebration of the upcoming 70th birthday of John Finamore\, Roger Hornsby Professor of Classics at the University of Iowa\, President of the International Society for Neoplatonic Studies\, and Editor of the International of the Platonic Tradition.\n\nSCHEDULE\n\nDay One\, Friday Dec. 6 \nClassics Library\, 2175 Angell Hall\nConference Opening\n\nFirst Session: Plotinus and Proclus\n2:00 pm \nSuzanne Stern-Gillet.

Within this framework\, I characterize self-enforcing arrangements for two types of environments. When wages are rigid\, as in the matching market for hospitals and medical residents\, players can be partitioned into two sets: regardless of patience level\, some players can be assigned only according to a static stable matching\; when institutions are patient\, the other players can be assigned in ways that are unstable in one-shot interactions. I discuss these results’ implications for allocating residents to rural hospitals. When wages can be flexibly adjusted\, I show that with flexible wages\, repeated interaction resolves well-known non-existence issues: while static stable matchings may fail to exist with complementarities and/or peer effects\, self-enforcing matching processes always exist if institutions are sufficiently patient.

In these regimes standard quasicontinuum theories\, targeting long-wave limits of lattice models\, are not adequate since even weak strictly supersonic solitary waves are of envelope type and crucially involve a microscopic scale in addition to the mesoscopic scale of the envelope. To capture this effect in a continuum setting it is necessary to employ unconventional\, higher-order quasicontinuum approximations carrying more than one length scale. This talk is based on recent joint work with Lev Truskinovsky (ESPCI).\n\nBio: Anna Vainchtein is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh.

There is something obsessive about both the sheer quantity of scenes of family violence in Walser and the fact that he repeatedly revisits one and the same fantasy-tableau\, sometimes across decades. My talk is concerned with this repetition and variation. Why\, for instance\, does Walser keep on changing the tone of these depictions? And why is Walser\, more than other writers\, so concerned with altering the perspective on these acts of violence? This talk uncovers in the often-cited 'madness' of Walser’s literature an important insight into what makes acts of domestic violence so challenging to grasp: Walser’s literary examples make evident that\, in the case of family violence\, the problem of perspective is not purely formal but intrinsic\; epistemologically speaking\, part of the violence of domestic violence is the exhausting degree of affective mobility it demands – a capacity but also an obligation to change tones and perspectives.\" -- Barbara Natalie Nagel\, Assistant Professor\, German Studies\, Princeton University.\n\nFriday\, December 6\, 3-4:45pm\nRackham\, Earl Lewis Room\, Third Floor UID:69533-17376530@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69533 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Germanic Languages And Literatures LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Earl Lewis Room, Third Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191125T145723 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Engaging Images: Art History and Anthropology in Conversation DESCRIPTION:A symposium in honor of Jennifer Robertson and Celeste Brusati.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n\nArt and/as \"Historical Ethnography\" \nJulie Hochstrasser - University of Iowa\n\nIn which an art historian reflects upon the role of anthropology in her scholarship on the seventeenth-century Dutch across the course of her career\, pausing to dwell upon several case studies in greater depth. Explores the notion of \"historical ethnography\" in several respects: examples of early modern artists as proto-ethnographers\, and on the other hand\, the art historian herself as ethnographer\, tackling subjects doubly distanced\, both culturally and temporally. \n\n\"Historically Hot: Reimagining Beauty from Japan's Past\"\nLaura Miller - University of Missouri\, St. Louis\n\nWho was considered to be a beautiful man or a gorgeous woman in Japan’s ancient period? What did an attractive Edo samurai or courtesan look like? When contemporary popular culture producers set out to create manga\, anime\, film and TV series set in historical eras\, they often find that the beauty standards of long ago are quite different from contemporary reader and viewer standards. Rather than try to represent historically accurate appearance\, artists and writers meld some aspects of historic fashion with recent ideals for body and facial types. This presentation will feature several reimagined historical figures who are represented by actors\, cosplayers\, or drawn characters who reflect today’s beauty ideology rather than those of the periods they are portraying. Although some efforts are made to depict the costumes and hairstyles of the period\, the desire to cater to current beauty norms dominates these productions.\n\n\"Lodging/Dwelling/Painting in Elizabethan England\"\nElizabeth Alice Honig - University of Maryland\, College Park\n\nFrom the Old Testament to Heidegger and beyond\, the concept of “dwelling” has been freighted with significance. It has meant belonging and being chosen\, shared community and special entitlement\, a state of mind as well as one of physical habitation\, the possession of selfhood and of a perspective on the world. This paper explores “dwelling” in Renaissance England\, particularly considering those who lack that privilege. It takes as its foci first\, a set of Elizabethan wall paintings at Pittleworth Manor that depicts the story of rich Dives and the roaming beggar Lazarus\; and second\, the prison run by Pittleworth’s recusant owner\, which became a kind of dwelling-place for imprisoned Catholics.\n\n\"Gas Mask Nation: Visualizing Civil Air Defense in Wartime Japan\"\nGennifer Weisenfeld - Duke University\n\nAn army of schoolgirls march through Tokyo\, their faces an anonymous procession of gas masks. Photographer Horino Masao’s Gas Mask Parade\, Tokyo from 1936 is one of the most iconic images of the anxious modernism of 1930s Japan. It reveals the vivid yet prosaic inculcation of fear in Japanese daily life through the increasingly pervasive visual culture of civil defense. Japan’s invasion of Manchuria in late 1931—the beginning of its Fifteen-Year War—marks the onset of a period of intense social mobilization and militarization on the home front as the war zone expanded on the continent and throughout the Pacific. Surveillance\, secrecy\, darkness\, defensive barriers\, physical security\, and prophylaxis all became standard visual tropes of national preparedness and communal anxiety. Still\, amidst this anxiety\, a culture of pleasure and wonder persisted\, a culture in which tasty Morinaga-brand caramels were sold to children with paper gas masks as promotional giveaways\, and popular magazines featured everything from attractive models in the latest civil defense fashions to marvelous futuristic wartime weapons. The visual and material culture of civil air defense or bōkū titillated the senses\, even evoking the erotic through the monstrously enticing gas mask figures marching through the streets.\n\nPrevailing scholarship portrays the war years in Japan as a landscape of privation where consumer and popular culture—and creativity in general—were suppressed under the massive censorship of the war machine. Without denying the horrors of total war\, this understanding of the cultural climate needs revision. Pleasure\, desire\, wonder\, creativity\, and humor were all still abundantly present. Humanity persisted in its complexity. Therefore\, by grasping the full nature of wartime’s all-encompassing sensory and compensatory enticements\, the dangers of its mix of sacrifice and gratification are unmasked UID:66190-16719579@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66190 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Art,Art History,Japanese Studies LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Amphitheatre - 4th floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191127T135043 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | UV and IR properties of quantum gravity from amplitudes DESCRIPTION:Using the general unitarity cuts method and amplitudes approach\, we calculate the 4-point all-plus-helicity graviton amplitudes at 2-loop. This reproduces a well-known result about 2-loop divergence in quantum gravity\, and more importantly\, we figure out a very simple renormalization scale dependence of gravity theories at 2-loop. And from this scale dependence\, we conclude the duality between scalar and 2-form\, between 3-form and cosmological constant at quantum level. And after this direct but complicated calculation\, we figure out an alternative simple derivation by doing the cuts and integration in 4d\, instead of 4-2e dimension. This elucidates the ultraviolet(UV) physics within. Besides\, using techniques from amplitudes\, we calculate the bending angle of massless projectiles\, including graviton\, when they pass near a massive object\, like the sun\, which is represented by a massive scalar. This reveals the long-distance/infrared(IR) properties of quantum gravity\, without worrying about the UV details. And we obtain different bending angles for different massless projectile with different spins\, which could possibly indicate a violation of classical equivalence principle at quantum level.

New geochemical\, geochronological\, and geophysical data are used to develop an improved model for the origin of the terrane. The terrane formed during two major episodes of igneous activity: (1) an older episode (ca. 1.48–1.44 Ga) of granodiorite to granite intrusive activity accompanied by felsic and subordinate basaltic to andesitic volcanism and associated subvolcanic intrusive activity and (2) a younger episode (ca. 1.33–1.30 Ga) consisting of bimodal granite and gabbro intrusion. The older rocks are predominantly ferroan\, subalkaline with tholeiitic affinity and are enriched in Rb\, Ba\, Th\, K\, Pb\, and light-REEs and depleted in Ta and Nb relative to primitive mantle. Trace element contents are similar to both within-plate\, A-type and volcanic arc\, I- and S-type granite compositions\; however\, the Nb and Ta depletions are characteristic of arc magmatism. Nd isotopic data suggest derivation from a mantle source or a mantle-derived juvenile (< 50 m.y.) crust. The younger granitic rocks are highly evolved with trace element abundances similar to within-plate granite.\n\nWe suggest that the SFM terrane involved melting of newly formed crust along the margin of the Laurentia as a result of mantle upwelling and underplating of tholeiitic basaltic magma at or near the base of the crust\, possibly due to far field subduction processes or extension along the margin of the craton. The mantle-derived magmas generated partial melting and assimilation of the crust that subsequently fractionated in magma chambers at mid-crustal levels. Evidence of the underplating and incursion of the mantle-derived mafic magmas is seen in the regional gravity and aeromagnetic data\, with the SFM underlain by dense\, highly magnetic units at mid-crustal levels believed to be the mafic precursor magmas and(or) restite. Three-dimensional modeling of magnetic and gravity data coupled with results from a new magnetotelluric survey are yielding new insights into the crustal architecture of the terrane. Deep-seated magmatic systems can be resolved that we believe are the feeders for the near surface volcanic and shallow plutonic rocks and the coeval mineralizing systems. As well\, a new high-resolution aeromagnetic survey acquired in August 2019 is yielding new insights as to the subtle complexities of the intrusions throughout the terrane.

Light refreshments will be served. \n\nABSTRACTS\n\nJiseung Kim:\n\"Individual differences in the production and perception of prosodic boundaries in American English\"\nWe investigate the hypothesis that individual participants vary in their production and perception of prosodic boundaries\, and that the acoustic properties they use to encode prosodic contrasts are closely related to the properties used to perceive those contrasts. An acoustic study examined 32 native speakers’ production of sentences containing IP and word boundaries. Twenty participants returned and participated in an eye-tracking study where they listened to stimuli that were manipulated to include different combinations of the acoustic properties associated with IP boundaries. The results indicate large variability in both production and perception\, and provide evidence for production of the boundary cues influencing the same individuals’ perception. \n\nEmily Sabo: \n\"Does speaker accent influence bilingual word processing?\"\nDuring sentence comprehension\, how does the accent of a speaker interact with a bilingual listener’s lexical knowledge to influence word processing? This project will address this question by examining the N400 responses of highly fluent Spanish-English bilingual listeners as they process lexical errors\, particularly FALSE COGNATES from Spanish into English (e.g. Eng. ‘embarrassed’ == [[pregnant]] because Sp. ‘embarazada’ == [[pregnant]]). An example of a false cognate from Spanish in sentential context could be as follows: \"My wife and I have wanted kids for so long. We're so excited to announce that she is finally embarrassed.\" The question here is whether the accent of the speaker who uttered the false cognate error affects how the bilingual listeners interprets and/or resolves the error during sentence comprehension. The study will employ a 3 x 3 design: ErrorType (NoError\, SpanishError\, OtherError) and SpeakerAccent (L1-MUSE-accented English\, L2-Spanish-accented English\, L2-Other-accented English). The results will shed light on the role of speaker accent during bilingual word prediction and semantic integration.

In this colloquium talk\, Ty Otto will discuss these issues\, including topics such as (1) U.S. nuclear cooperation agreements\, which pave the way for U.S. nuclear firms to compete in foreign countries\, (2) concepts to “internationalize” the nuclear fuel cycle in support of nonproliferation goals. As an analyst at a U.S. national laboratory\, he also shares his perspectives on how DOE Labs harness technical expertise to support nonproliferation policymakers. \n\nBiography\nTy Otto is an analyst at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory\, where he focuses on a variety of nonproliferation issues including IAEA verification\, the risks of emerging technologies\, ensuring treaty compliance at domestic U.S. locations\, and advancing U.S. nuclear nonproliferation policy. Prior to joining PNNL in 2016\, he worked as a graduate fellow at DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration\, supporting the Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control.  He has a master’s in nuclear energy from the University of Cambridge (UK)\, and a BS in physics from the University of Washington.

Forced from their home in the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma\, the Joad family piles its few possessions on a battered old truck and heads west for California\, hoping to find work and a better life. Faced instead with intolerance and exploitation\, the Joads suffer death and deprivation as they struggle to find their place in the world. Despite the anguish it depicts\, the play is ultimately a soaring and deeply moving affirmation of the indomitability of the human spirit. \n\nOriginally premiered at Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago\, Galati’s adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath transferred to both the West End and Broadway to critical acclaim. The play was nominated for eight Tony Awards in 1990\, winning for Best Direction and Best Play. Steinbeck’s 1939 novel was based on the author’s own experiences living and traveling with migrants from the Dust Bowl. The fictional Joads represent the tens of thousands of Americans who\, forced into similar circumstances by the confluence of climate change and poverty\, fought to preserve their humanity in the face of the vast inequities of the American experience.
