An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

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:58562-15784162@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:63803-15884164@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:68063-16988471@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:20200116T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T170000 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.

In response to letters from a Black neuroscience major and a non-binary biochemistry and biophysics major\, every STEM department wrote a letter of support\, pledging to work with students to address their concerns. The following semester\, Chemistry professor Sheila Jaswal collaborated with students to develop a project-based course\, titled “Being Human in STEM” (HSTEM)\, to actively engage STEM students and departments in learning about and enhancing inclusion in STEM settings. Now in its sixth iteration\, students drive the academic inquiry\, investigating both the local experience and the literature on diversity in STEM. They then use that research to design tools and interventions to share with and enhance their own STEM community.  In this seminar\, Professor Jaswal will describe how HSTEM course projects and activities have continued the conversation started by students during the Uprising\, connected STEM inclusion efforts across the Amherst campus\, and produced resources such as the “Inclusive Curricular Practices” handbook\, that have been used by STEM educators from high schools\, colleges\, universities\, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Inclusive Excellence institutions. She will present evidence on the impact of the HSTEM course and practices on students\, faculty and staff at Amherst\, and provide examples of how a growing network of institutions\, including Yale\, Brown\, Williams\, and the University of Utah\, are adapting the HSTEM model to their own STEM community needs. \n\nPlease visit website for more information on speaker: http://www.beinghumaninstem.com/sheila-jaswal.html UID:69259-17275351@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Astronomy,Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biophysics,Biophysics Program,Biosciences,Chemistry,Complex Systems,Diversity,Diversity Equity And Inclusion,Ecology,Life Science,Mathematics,Mechanical Engineering,Natural Sciences,Pharmacy,Physics,Pre Med,Pre-Health,Science LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Amphitheater -4th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191223T132827 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T130000 SUMMARY:Performance:Celebrating MLK DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr’s birthday\, the Grosse Ile Quartet presents a program in honor of his life and legacy.

Against the background of long-term economic downturn\, growing social precarity\, and nuclear anxiety\, Abe’s recently published book investigates how this seemingly outdated means of advertisement has recently gained traction as an aesthetic\, economic\, and political practice after decades of inactivity. Drawing on the book\, this presentation will address the central analytic hibiki (resonance)\, which highlights the processes in which chindon-ya’s sound is designed to elicit an affective response from a listener who simply “overhears” chindon-ya in public spaces.\n \nMarié Abe is Associate Professor of Music in the Department of Musicology and Ethnomusicology at Boston University. Broadly speaking\, her scholarship explores the intersection of sound\, space\, and sociality\, bridging sound studies and cultural human geography. Her recent projects examine the politics of sound in social movements\, in the contexts of anti-US military movements in Okinawa and post-3.11 Japan\, as well as the musical and historical affinity between Japan and Ethiopia in the 20th century.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Their growth paralleled the rise of the office worker\, women’s evolving roles in the work force\, immigration\, American love of efficiency and novelty\, the growth of cities\, the impact of Prohibition and the Depression\, the labor movement\, and American eating habits. Not one cafeteria from that era remains in New York City today. One particular restaurant\, Dubrow’s Cafeteria in Brooklyn\, was a legendary institution that served as a second home for many of the neighborhood’s elderly residents. Along with another Dubrow’s\, a hub of the Garment Center\, they provided a restaurant cum social club or “third place” for a generation of Jewish New Yorkers.\nNew York City-based photographer Marcia Bricker Halperin documented Dubrow’s and other cafeterias in their waning days\, drawn to the memorable faces and the liveliness and sorrow of urban life in that vanished world.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

The history of Mars\, in particular\, is one of dramatic change that transformed a hospitable environment into the barren land we know today. Deciphering Mars’ geologic past using data from orbiting and landed spacecraft requires using and adapting theory and techniques that were developed for Earth. In return\, Mars offers a unique test for Earth-based theory under alien boundary conditions. In this presentation\, I demonstrate how a mechanistic understanding of surface processes sheds light onto Martian paleohydrology and paleoclimate through two examples: the erosion of bedrock canyons by water\, and the formation of sand ripples by winds. Our results have surprising implications for our understanding of terrestrial landscapes and Mars’ potential as a refugium for early life in the Solar System.

Precision medicine is a movement in clinical practice that seeks to develop therapies tailored for specific patients or subsets of patients. As mounting evidence suggests that the “one size fits all” approach to medicine is ineffective\, my future lab seeks to exploit biomaterials as in vitro culture tools or implantable devices in vivo to understand how patient-specific variables may impact disease onset\, progression\, and treatment. In my talk\, I will describe my past\, present\, and future work in precision biomaterials. During my graduate training with Prof. Lonnie Shea at Northwestern University\, I developed implantable biomaterial scaffolds for the recruitment and early detection of metastatic cancer cells\, which may serve as a platform to capture disseminating tumor cells for downstream precision medicine applications. My current postdoctoral research with Prof. Kristi Anseth at the University of Colorado Boulder is focused on engineering personalized in vitro disease models of aortic valve stenosis using serum from individual aortic valve stenosis patients to culture valve and cardiac fibroblasts and hydrogels as extracellular matrix mimics. I will also share my outlook for future work in exploring sex differences in cardiovascular disorders using precision biomaterials. In sum\, precision biomaterials may serve as tools to improve our understanding of how patient-specific variables impact disease mechanisms and guide more effective diagnostics and treatments for individual patients or subsets of patients.

German\nLangley Associate Professor\nSchool of Aerospace Engineering\nGeorgia Institute of Technology\n\nThe era of electric flight has dawned. Battery specific energy is now reaching levels at which electric aircraft propulsion is feasible for short ranged missions\, and entirely new aviation markets are blossoming by taking advantage of the reduced operating costs of electric aircraft. Electric drones are ubiquitous\, electric flight training aircraft are in production\, and—ushering in the era of urban air mobility—electric urban air taxis are nearing certification. \n\nThis talk will present recent research focused on the conceptual design\, analysis\, and operations of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for urban air mobility (UAM). Specific topics include the development of a battery model appropriate for aircraft sizing and an investigation of the flight performance of canonical eVTOL aircraft configurations. Operations research topics for UAM including demand modeling\, vertiport placement optimization\, and flight scheduling will also be discussed. The talk will conclude by highlighting research and educational opportunities related to electric flight and urban air mobility.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nBrian German is director of the Georgia Tech Center for Urban and Regional Air Mobility (CURAM) and the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) Langley Associate Professor in the Georgia Tech School of Aerospace Engineering. He specializes in configuration design of electric aircraft\, battery electric propulsion modeling\, and operations research problems for innovative scheduled and on-demand air services. His work focuses primarily on new types of electric regional aircraft and eVTOL aircraft for urban air mobility. Prof. German is a founding member and former Chair (2014-2016) of the AIAA Transformational Flight Program Committee\, which was chartered to explore the opportunities of emerging aircraft electric propulsion technologies\, and he is a member of the AIAA Aircraft Electric Propulsion and Power Working Group.

Given the limitations of parent-report measures for assessing the intermittent\, interactive\, and immersive modern media experiences\, Dr. Radesky’s research has attempted to develop novel methods for assessing media use within the family context. Dr. Radesky will review her initial research examining parent mobile device use in public settings and through videorecorded interactions\; discuss development of novel passive sensing methods for assessing the daily patterns of family mobile device use\; and present results from content coding and data privacy analysis. Implications for future research and clinical recommendations will be discussed.\n\nDr. Radesky is an Assistant Professor of Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics at the University of Michigan Medical School. She received her M.D. from Harvard Medical School\, trained in Pediatrics at Seattle Children’s Hospital\, and completed subspecialty training in Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics at Boston Medical Center. Her NIH-funded research examines parent smartphone use and parent-child interaction\, as well as how child self-regulation\, mobile device use\, and interactive media content interact through the preschool years. She was the lead author of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines about media use by young children in 2016. Dr. Radesky also sees patients in Developmental Behavioral Pediatric Clinic at the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and Ypsilanti Health Center\, where her clinical work focuses on autism\, traumatic stress\, ADHD\, and self-regulation.

Their growth paralleled the rise of the office worker\, women’s evolving roles in the work force\, immigration\, American love of efficiency and novelty\, the growth of cities\, the impact of Prohibition and the Depression\, the labor movement\, and American eating habits. Not one cafeteria from that era remains in New York City today. One particular restaurant\, Dubrow’s Cafeteria in Brooklyn\, was a legendary institution that served as a second home for many of the neighborhood’s elderly residents. Along with another Dubrow’s\, a hub of the Garment Center\, they provided a restaurant-cum-social club or “third place” for a generation of Jewish New Yorkers. New York City-based photographer Marcia Bricker Halperin documented Dubrow’s and other cafeterias in their waning days\, drawn to the memorable faces and the liveliness and sorrow of urban life in that vanished world.\n\nCosponsors: Jean and Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, Department of Women’s Studies UID:69471-17327206@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69471 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition LOCATION:Lane Hall - Lane Hall Gallery, 1st Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T120307 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:No EEB Thursday Seminar DESCRIPTION:Please return on January 23\, 2020\, for our next seminar!

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nThe field of Positive Organizational Scholarship asks what people\, groups\, and organizations are like when at their very best. Researchers in the field scientifically examine the best of the human condition. This means researchers use science to learn from excellence. For 18 years\, Quinn has been teaching executives how to understand and apply these accumulating scientific findings. In the process\, he has become increasingly aware that in the world of practice\, like the world of science\, most people do not attend to or learn from excellence. They learn from failure while seeking to reproduce order. In this participative session\, Quinn will explore three questions:\n1. What does it mean to learn from excellence? \n2. How does learning from excellence alter leadership and culture? \n3. What can we do to learn from and create social excellence? \n\nAbout Quinn:\nRobert E. Quinn is the Margaret Elliot Tracy Collegiate Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. His research and writing focus on purpose\, leadership\, culture\, and change. He is one of the co-founders of the field of Positive Organizational Scholarship and a co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations.\n\nIn terms of research\, he is in the top 1% of professors cited in organizational behavior textbooks. He has published 18 books. As a teacher\, Quinn is the recipient of multiple awards. In a recent global survey\, he was named one of the top speakers in the world on the topic of organizational culture and related issues. Last year\, his talk on personal purpose went viral on Facebook and has been viewed over 16 million times.\n\nHost: \nGretchen Spreitzer\, Keith E. and Valerie J.

Gone to the Village is a unique and powerful documentary\, beautifully filmed\, of the elaborate funerary rites for the Queen Mother of the Asante in Ghana. Leading Asante scholar Kwasi Ampene directs and narrates with the authority\, gaze and sensitivity of a true insider\, with stunning footage of the rich cultural traditions of the Asante people. Filmed on location in Kumase during the funeral\, we witness traditions that have stubbornly and proudly resisted the onslaught of colonial rule and globalization. \n\nThrough the film\, we learn about the history of the Asante as well as the central role of women in this matriarchal society. The scenes of dance\, song\, drumming\, proverbs\, and dress code are of exceptional and exquisite beauty\, unprecedented in the African continent.\n\nWatch the video trailer: https://youtu.be/C2buzvL4bGY\n\nKwasi Ampene is associate professor of ethnomusicology at the University of Michigan (USA). He specializes in the rich musical traditions of the Akan people of Ghana\, West Africa.

So far the singer-songwriter and violinist has appeared in 43 states and 7 countries – she’s graced the stage of renowned venues like Nashville’s Music City Roots\, The Kennedy Center and House of Blues Chicago. Lea performs from her electric wheelchair. She began playing the violin 25 years ago after a creative music teacher helped her to adapt a playing style that suits her frame. Lea holds her instrument like a tiny cello and loops her classically trained rhythms and melodies with her Memory Man pedal to create a “symphonic cacophony that is both glorious in its reach and profoundly introspective\,” Her original songs explore the contrasting nature of existence – dark and light\, birth and death\, anger and forgiveness\, sorrow and joy. In addition to performing and recording\, Lea also does speaking engagements about disability rights\, finding inner freedom\, and accessibility in the arts. In recent years\, she has used her music as a platform to advocate for people with disabilities and to promote positive social change.

Putrefaction \"pre-digests\" meat without the need for cooking. Anaerobic bacteria rapidly colonize decomposing meat\, inhibiting the germination of pathogens such as *Clostridium botulinum* (botulism). Bacterial fermentation also prevents fats from becoming rancid and preserves vitamin C\, eliminating the threat of scurvy. Psychological studies indicate that the revulsion shown by Euro-Americans toward putrid meat is learned\, not hard-wired\, and emerges surprisingly late in children.\n\nAbundant ethnohistoric evidence shows that rotted meat was not a starvation food but a prized and nutritionally vital component of forager diets in northern environments. I suggest that eating rotted meat would have been of similar importance to Eurasian Neanderthals and modern humans occupying broadly similar environments and subsisting on heavily meat-based diets. I then briefly explore the implications of these ideas for understanding the later Pleistocene archaeological and isotopic record in northern Eurasia.\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Michigan Archaeological Society.\nTo learn more about the MAS\, please visit miarch.org.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this lecture\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) as soon as possible.
