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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy
DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:How Polio Helped FDR Win the Presidency
DESCRIPTION:According to the conventional wisdom that has grown up around the public image of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the post-Watergate era\, he became president only by fooling the public about the paralysis he suffered as a result of poliomyelitis. In fact\, the author’s research shows that FDR made masterful use of his disability as he recovered from the disease and rose to the White House.\n\nAfter earning a Ph.D. in history at the University of Michigan\, lecturer James Tobin spent 20 years as a newspaper reporter and freelance writer. His books include “Ernie Pyle’s War” (1997)\, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award in biography\; “To Conquer the Air: The Wright Brothers and the Great Race for Flight” (2003)\; and “The Man He Became: How FDR Defied Polio to Win the Presidency” (2013).  He is currently a Professor of Journalism at Miami University.\n\nThis is the fourth in OLLI’S distinguished lecture series for 2019-20. A total of ten lectures are presented covering a variety of topics. Lectures are held on Tuesday mornings once each month. The next lecture will be held January 14\, 2020. The title is Living Transgender: The Struggles and Rewards.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s\, artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times\, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality\, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased\; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning\; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self\; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.\n\nLead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Information\, and College of Engineering. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Fabrication Studio at the Duderstadt Center\, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and SeeMeCNC 3D Printers.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama
DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Pick: Collecting Found Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.\n \nTake Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n

SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium: Longitudinal plasticity of neuronal ensemble representations in the auditory cortex
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Humans and other animals rely on familiarity with common sensory cues in the environment to guide behavior\, while adapting to behaviorally relevant changing conditions. To support this adaptive behavior\, sensory brain circuits balance competing needs for maintaining a stable and coherent representation of the external environment\, while reorganizing in response following salient experiences. In the auditory cortex\, neurons exhibit robust\, consistent and selective responses to sound stimuli. On the other hand\, experience can cause changes in the response properties of individual auditory cortical neurons as well as in the large-scale functional organization of the auditory cortex. However\, little is known about the degree of longitudinal ensemble-level stability or plasticity of auditory cortical sound representations. To address this gap\, we carried out longitudinal two-photon calcium imaging in the auditory cortex of awake mice to derive the response properties of identified neuronal ensembles to simple and complex sounds across days. Our preliminary results suggest a surprising degree of plasticity of sound-evoked responses within local neuronal ensembles in the auditory cortex.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Lunch Seminar: Sensory evolution in the transition from land to sea: how do sea snakes sense their underwater world?
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our weekly brown bag lunch seminar.\n\nAbstract\nThe senses are our interface with our surrounding world and attuned to specific qualities of prominent signals within the environment. Studying the ways in which senses have changed during evolution can be a marker of how organisms respond to major ecological shifts. Snakes have invaded aquatic habitats multiple times\, but\, with over 60 fully-aquatic and ecologically diverse species\, few groups have been so successful as sea snakes (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae). I will explore the sensory evolution of sea snakes\, with emphasis on two senses that are mediated by the skin: mechanoreception (touch) and tail phototaxis (skin photoreception). Tiny mechanoreceptors on the scales of sea snakes have undergone substantial changes during evolution\, I will discuss whether these morphological changes are likely to confer a 'hydrodynamic' function (analogous to the lateral line system of fishes) in sea snakes. Light sensitivity of the paddle-tail in sea snakes (tail phototaxis) is a rare trait among vertebrates and convergent with other elongate\, aquatic species (hagfish\, lamprey\, aquatic salamanders). I explore the evolutionary origins\, genetic mechanisms and ecological factors underlying this fascinating sense in sea snakes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE Seminar Series: Todd Emrick
DESCRIPTION:>>This Seminar will be held in the North Campus Research Complex\, Building 32\, Auditorium\n\nABSTRACT\n\"Designer Soft Materials and Hybrid Functional Interfaces\"\n\nThis lecture will apply concepts and techniques of organic and polymer chemistry to materials targets\, with the objective of producing new and useful structures for fundamental studies.  The topics to be presented involve translating synthetic advances to creative materials applications\, including the synthesis of new polymer zwitterions (including phosphorylcholines\, sulfobetaines\, and sulfothetins) that have generated a surprising breadth of advances\, ranging from electronic materials to medical devices to injectable therapeutics. Striking properties of these polymers at interfaces will be discussed\, including in thin films and in fluids\, with focus on the impact of new functional polymers as components of ‘hard-soft’ materials interfaces.  In addition\, mesoscale materials constructs will be described\, including a new kind of “mesoscale block copolymers” (MSBCPs) that are envisaged as larger scale analogs of conventional block copolymers\, as well as nanocomposite hydrogels that function as photo-induced surfers and motors at air-fluid interfaces.\n\nBIO\nTodd Emrick is a Professor of Polymer Science and Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, and adjunct faculty member at the UMass Medical School in Worcester\, MA. He earned a B.S. in Chemistry from Juniata College in PA and Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry with Philip E. Eaton at the University of Chicago.  Following postdoctoral work in polymer synthesis at the University of California Berkeley with Jean Fréchet\, he began his independent position at UMass Amherst in 2001.  While at UMass\, his research has focused on the intersection of organic and polymer chemistry\, with a focus on useful outlets in materials science and engineering.  Advances from Todd’s laboratories have been recognized by the Carl S. Marvel Award for creative polymer chemistry (ACS Polymer Division)\, election to the National Academy of Inventors\, and selection as the UMass Amherst College of Natural Sciences Outstanding Researcher.  He is the prior Director of the NSF-supported Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) on Polymers at UMass Amherst (2008-2017) and is currently an investigator in the NSF Center for Chemomechanical Assembly (CCMA).

SUMMARY:Performance:\"Cakes and Ale:\" Comic Scenes from Twelfth Night & The Tempest
DESCRIPTION:\"Cakes and Ale:\" Comic Scenes from Twelfth Night & The Tempest\, preformed by students in RCHUMS 381 Shakespeare on the Stage. Directed by Martin Walsh. \n\nTwelfth Night centers on the twins Viola and Sebastian\, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola (who is disguised as Cesario) falls in love with Duke Orsino\, who in turn is in love with Countess Olivia. Upon meeting Viola\, Countess Olivia falls in love with her thinking she is a man.\n\nThe Tempest is thought to be one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote alone. After the first scene\, which takes place on a ship at sea during a tempest\, the rest of the story is set on a remote island\, where the sorcerer Prospero\, a complex and contradictory character\, lives with his daughter Miranda\, and his two servants—Caliban\, a savage monster figure\, and Ariel\, an airy spirit.

SUMMARY:Presentation:SEAS Seminar: Forecasting Global Change Impacts on Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Janet Franklin has been in the Department of Botany\, University of California at Riverside since 2017. She was previously a Regent's Professor Schools of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University where she was appointed in 2009. From 1988-2009 she was on the faculties of Geography and Biology at San Diego State University. She specializes in Landscape Ecology\, Biogeography\, and Geographic Information Science. Franklin’s research is focused on in the patterns and dynamics of terrestrial plant communities at the landscape scale. Her work addresses the impacts of human-caused landscape change on the environment.  Human land use -- agriculture and urbanization -- and other large-scale human impacts such as climate change\, and the introduction of exotic species\, often interact with natural disturbance regimes such as fire\, flooding and hurricanes\, to shape plant community dynamics in forests\, shrublands\, and other ecosystems.

In particular\, I will describe the signal sizes necessary and sufficient for statistical procedures to simultaneously control false discovery (in terms of family-wise error rate or false discovery rate) and missed detection (in terms of family-wise non-discovery rate or false non-discovery rate) in the simple but ubiquitous signal-plus-noise model\n\n                  x(i) = \mu(i) + \epsilon(i)\, \quad i=1\,2\,\ldots\,p\n\nSeveral well-known procedures are shown to attain said boundaries. Remarkably\, these phase transition phenomena continue to hold under a much wider class of models\, and under extremely weak dependence assumptions. We provide point-wise\, rather than minimax\, results\, wherever we can. Important practical implications\, along with an interesting manifestation of the phase transitions in genome-wide association studies (GWAS)\, will be discussed.\n\nBehind the statistical results is a probabilistic phenomenon known as relative stability. Much like how the law of large numbers describes the concentration of averages\, relative stability --- or the \"law of large dimensions\" --- describes the concentration of maxima. We provide a complete characterization of the relative stability phenomenon for Gaussian triangular arrays in terms of their correlation structure. Its proof uses classic Sudakov-Fernique and Slepian lemma arguments along with a curious application of Ramsey's coloring theorem.
