The project\, which takes the form of a magazine\, profiles eight Latinx students at the University of Michigan. Each student participated in a one-on-one interview with Tess\, during which they discussed the struggles they face in relation to their heritage. Their answers served as the basis for a feature-style article. Students also took part in individual photoshoots with Tess\, whose location\, style and focus they directed. Those photos are featured in this exhibition\, along with excerpts from each student’s interview. Copies of the original magazine will be available for viewing within the gallery space. \n\n>> Opening Reception: Friday\, January 10 from 6-8pm. Refreshments will be served. \n\nIn Spanish\, “nosotros” means “we.” On its own\, however\, “otros” means “others.” The title of this exhibition omits the latter part of the word to symbolize Tess’s dreams for the Latinx community: a shared space of “we” where nobody feels like the other. \n\nTess Garcia is a senior at the University of Michigan majoring in Communication and Media and Social Theory and Practice through the Residential College. Her work in STP has centered around exploring Latinx issues through journalism\, culminating in the creation of the print magazine and accompanying exhibition for “NOS: Dismantling the Otro.” UID:71010-17768593@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71010 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Culture,Diversity,Exhibition,Free,Latin America,Multicultural,Storytelling,Undergraduate,Visual Arts LOCATION:East Quadrangle - Residential College Art Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191220T135614 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200109T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200109T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Social Media Research: What We Know Now DESCRIPTION:This talk will cover how social media has been studied academically over the past decade\, focusing on how systematic research is conducted on such a heterogeneous environment.

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:58562-15784156@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:63803-15884158@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.

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 UID:68063-16988465@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190930T181751 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200109T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200109T170000 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.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

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.

But the outcome of social decisions are notoriously hard to predict. Even in a simple setting\, such as the Prisoner’s Dilemma\, the result depends on a complex interplay between the assumptions\, intentions and understanding of two individuals. When social decisions play out across a whole social network the dynamics can become dauntingly complex. Yet understanding how a social network structures the information environment\, and the resulting effects on individual and collective decisions\, is an increasingly urgent challenge.\n\nIn this talk I will give a brief overview of my research building mathematical and computational models as tools to study collective decisions\, inter-group attitudes and prosocial behavior. I will describe my recent work using a combination of game-theoretic modeling\, online experiments and analysis of social network data to predict outcomes in a voter game. I will show how such games naturally produce intransigent zealots\, and how superficially ``fair’’ social networks can nonetheless lead to heavily biased collective decisions - a phenomenon we call information gerrymandering. Finally I will discuss my plans for future research and collaborations\, to study how individual behavioral and population dynamics play out on complex social networks.

Space is limited to 20 participants. Light snacks will be served.\n\nResearch has shown that graduate students struggle with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression at higher rates than the general population. While some stress and uncertainty is unavoidable in graduate training\, research mentors can have a direct impact on the well-being (emotional\, physical\, and mental health) of members of their research group. By fostering an environment that supports well being\, mentors can positively impact mentees’ sense of autonomy\, competence\, personal growth\, and belonging. Developing the skills to have open conversations about these topics is key to this process.\n\nIn this interactive workshop\, faculty participants will engage in discussions and activities about mentee well-being using the Fostering Well-being curricula. Participants will: (1) learn the definition of mental health and identify signs of well being\; (2) develop awareness about how mentoring behaviors can impact mentee well-being\; (3) identify steps to creating an environment that fosters well-being in a diverse group of mentees\; and (4) learn to initiate conversations with mentees about their well-being and mental health.

Various physical processes can rapidly accelerate these charged particles to prodigious energies\, in excess of one megaelectron volt\, on timescales of one day or less. Owing to the hazard that this radiation poses to manmade technologies in space\, there is considerable interest in understanding the processes that govern the particle dynamics. To that end\, NASA launched the twin Van Allen Probes in 2012 to improve radiation belt predictability\, and radiation belt science has evolved significantly over that time. With the recent conclusion of the mission\, it is time to survey the landscape to take stock of where we have been\, and where we are going. We will thus present an overview of recent advances in radiation belt science\, highlighting current research trends and several unresolved issues\, with an emphasis on what has been revealed in the Van Allen Probes observations.

My research is directed toward incorporating cues from the native environment and natural extracellular matrix (ECM) into the design of cell culture platforms and musculoskeletal tissue engineered constructs. By applying fundamental principles in cell and molecular biology\, biomaterials\, and biotransport phenomena\, we are developing materials-based strategies to direct the behavior of transplanted or host cells within bone defects and interrogate the behavior of various cell populations in more physiologically relevant conditions. In this talk\, I will present examples of our recent work in designing biomaterials from cells and natural and synthetic polymers to instruct cell fate and enhance tissue formation and function with applications in bone regeneration and repair.

DESCRIPTION:Ken Powell\nArthur F. Thurnau Professor and DEI Faculty Liaison\nAerospace Engineering\, UM\n\nThe other talks this semester will be based on research in Aerospace Sciences and Engineering. This talk is based on research in the Social Sciences - particularly Psychology\, Sociology\, Economics - and how it applies to education and careers in aerospace engineering.\n\nFor the past five years\, I have been part of a group of Michigan professors who read this social science literature\, and meet to discuss its implications on academic careers - teaching\, research\, service and hiring of faculty. We also give talks about why and how to improve diversity in faculty hiring to faculty throughout the university\, department chairs and deans\, and faculty at other universities.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present some classical and recent social science research about issues that affect our ability to hire and retain a diverse and excellent faculty\, particularly in STEM fields\, and especially in aerospace engineering. Topics will include implicit bias\, stereotype threat\, accumulation of disadvantage\, and some of the steps we are taking as a university to improve the composition of the faculty. I will also present data about the demographics of the aerospace field\, and give you some strategies for being a part of the much-needed solution to Aerospace's diversity challenges.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nProfessor Powell is a member and past director of the W. M. Keck Foundation Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory\, and a co-founder and co-director of the Center for Space Environment Modeling and the the Center for Radiative Shock Hydrodynamics. At the undergraduate level\, he teaches freshman computing\, compressible flow\, aerodynamics and aircraft design\; at the graduate level\, he teaches aerodynamics and computational fluid dynamics. His research interests include: algorithm development for fluid dynamics\, aerodynamics and plasmadynamics\; and the application of computational methods to problems in aerodynamics\, aeroelasticity\, fluid dynamics and space environment/space weather. His articles appear in Journal of Fluid Mechanics\, Journal of Computational Physics\, and Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics\, among others. He is also a co-author of Multi-Media Fluid Mechanics. He has received a number of awards for his research\, including a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award\, and a number of awards for his teaching\, including the Arthur F. Thurnau Professorship. He is married to Susanne Maria Krummel\; they have three children: Jasmine\, Ryan and Nicole.

In this talk\, I discuss the novel phenomena that arise from spontaneous valley ordering of bismuth surface states in a large magnetic field. Specifically\, we observe the emergence of a nematic phase which breaks the rotational symmetry of the underlying crystal and a ferroelectric phase that carries an in-plane electric dipole moment. We use a scanning tunneling microscope to identify and directly image the wavefunctions of these broken-symmetry quantum Hall phases. Furthermore\, we explore the boundary between distinct nematic domains\, which host counter-propagating 1D modes. By changing the number of modes\, we realize strikingly different regimes where the boundary is either metallic or insulating\, constrained by Coulomb interactions between these 1D modes.\n UID:70881-17728770@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70881 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191218T141026 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200109T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200109T180000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Nuclear Prize Mixer DESCRIPTION:U-M is hosting a prize competition challenging students to reimagine nuclear waste as a business opportunity.
