A proud Midwesterner\, she splits her time between studios in Chicago and Pentwater\, Michigan. She is recognized for her ethereal paintings and sculptural installations. Finding the edge between intuitive and deliberate mark making\, Svoboda’s work is a meditation on the earth’s last places of quiet and untouched beauty. Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things. In 2015\, she received a Hemera fellowship to study Zen and calligraphy in Japan\, which continues to influence her work. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

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.

The Extradition Bill incident led to a wide-reaching social movement. It is important to note\, however\, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only ways through which Hong Kong people expressed their opinions. Promotional art pieces\, music\, videos\, and memes also played significant roles in the movement.

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. One patient shared that for her\, Potter’s work symbolized the process of adapting to a diagnosis by transforming into someone stronger and wiser without losing who you really are.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

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.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.\n#skyshapes\n\nJeffrey Lancaster has done a lot of different things and worn a number of very different hats: chemist\, artist\, historian\, librarian\, developer\, educator. He’s a curious person with a breadth and depth of interests and experiences\, and loves to bring that diversity of thought to bear on new problems\, some of his own making and some from other people. He has a BFA from Washington University\, an MS from Oxford\, and a PhD from Columbia University in chemistry. Lancaster is based in Rutherford\, NJ where he freelances as a product developer and educational & business consultant.

She was a recipient of a year long Stein Scholarship at the Center for Book Arts in New York City in 2013\, and her work is in Special Collections libraries throughout the U.S.\n\nEllen Rutt is a Detroit-based interdisciplinary artist and activist who has a BFA from the Stamps School of Art & Design. She makes bold mixed-media paintings\, murals\, installations and wearables. Her recent solo show ‘This Must Be The Place” was created in large part through a process of travelling the globe & capturing visual elements or ‘environmental mementos’ through direct tracing of the physical environment\, both natural & human-made. Rutt has exhibited her work nationally and most recently completed her second artist residency at Temple Children in Hilo\, Hawaii.\n\nAbout the Curator:\n\nAndrew Thompson is a sculptor and installation artist\, educator\, curator\, and musician based in Southwest Detroit.

If Shakespeare learned from Ovid and Greek drama\, if Whitman & Dickinson learned from the Bible and Hymns\, if Eliot learned from the French\, if many American poets of 60s and 70s learned from Polish poets and Latin American poets-- what about us\, our contemporaries? Where is our place in this conversation? What can we take from it for our own work?\n\nIlya Kaminsky’s widely acclaimed parable in poems\, Deaf Republic (Graywolf\, 2019)\, reads like a two-act political drama in which lyric poems trace the experiences of citizens living under martial law. A New Yorker review called it a work of “profound imagination.” Poems from Deaf Republic were awarded Poetry magazine's Levinson Prize and the Pushcart Prize. \n\nKaminsky is also the author of Dancing In Odessa (Tupelo Press\, 2004)\, and Musica Humana (Chapiteau Press\, 2002). Kaminsky has won the Whiting Writer's Award\, the American Academy of Arts and Letters' Metcalf Award\, the Dorset Prize\, a Ruth Lilly Fellowship\, and the Foreword Magazine’s Best Poetry Book of the Year award. Recently\, he was on the short-list for the Neusdadt International Literature Prize. His poems have been translated into numerous languages and his books have been published in many countries including Turkey\, Holland\, Russia\, France\, Mexico\, Macedonia\, Romania\, Spain and China\, where his poetry was awarded the Yinchuan International Poetry Prize. His poems have been compared to work by Anna Akhmatova\, Osip Mandelstam\, and Marina Tsvetaeva. \n\nHe is the editor of several anthologies\, among them The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry (Ecco\, 2010)\, co-edited with Susan Harris\, which John Ashbery praised as “immediately indispensable\;” A God in the House: Poets Talk About Faith (Tupelo Press\, 2012)\, co-edited with Katherine Towler\; Gossip and Metaphysics: Russian Modernist Poets and Prose (Tupelo Press\, 2014)\, co-edited with Katie Farris and Valzhyna Mort\; and In the Shape of the Human Body I am Visiting the Earth: Poems from Far and Wide (McSweeney's\, 2017) with Dominic Luxford and Jesse Nathan. With Jean Valentine\, he has co-translated Dark Elderberry Branch: Poems of Marina Tsvetaeva. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public. \n\nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester.

The amendment established an Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to draw maps for Michigan electoral districts: U.S. Congress and the State House and Senate. VNP is now working to ensure success for the Commission and it is also pursuing other initiatives to enhance democracy. These 3 classes will explain what VNP has accomplished\, how VNP created a unique volunteer experience\, and how citizens can continue to improve our democracy. Participants will learn how they can participate productively in making Michigan government work better. \n\nConnie Cook has a Ph.D. in Political Science and recently retired from the University of Michigan. She now serves in a volunteer role as Regional Education Coordinator and Special Counsel to the Executive Director of Voters Not Politicians. Rena Basch has a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering\, and fifteen years-experience as an elections administrator\, serving as the Ann Arbor Charter Township Clerk. During the VNP campaign for Proposal 2\, Rena led the state-wide Outreach Committee\, and currently volunteers as the leader of Community Engagement. Connie and Rena will be joined by additional VNP volunteers in sessions on Fridays from February 7 through 21.

Most methods require that we observe all confounders\, variables that affect both the causal variables and the outcome variables. But whether we have observed all confounders is a famously untestable assumption. We describe the deconfounder\, a way to do causal inference with weaker assumptions than the classical methods require.\n\nHow does the deconfounder work? While traditional causal methods measure the effect of a single cause on an outcome\, many modern scientific studies involve multiple causes\, different variables whose effects are simultaneously of interest. The deconfounder uses the correlation among multiple causes as evidence for unobserved confounders\, combining unsupervised machine learning and predictive model checking to perform causal inference. We demonstrate the deconfounder on real-world data and simulation studies\, and describe the theoretical requirements for the deconfounder to provide unbiased causal estimates.\n\nDavid works in the fields of machine learning and Bayesian statistics.\n\nThe goal of the Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Methods is to provide an interdisciplinary environment where researchers can present and discuss cutting-edge research in quantitative methodology. The talks are aimed at a broad audience\, with emphasis on conceptual rather than technical issues. The research presented is varied\, ranging from new methodological developments to applied empirical papers that use methodology in an innovative way. We welcome speakers and audiences from all disciplines and fields\, including the social\, natural\, biomedical\, and behavioral sciences.

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:58562-15784181@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:63803-15884183@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:68063-16988490@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:20200108T181705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200207T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200207T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cullen Washington\, Jr.: The Public Square DESCRIPTION:This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington\, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series\, Agoras. The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

For example\, in human-robot collaborative assembly\, robots are often required to dynamically change their pre-planned tasks to collaborate with human operators in a shared workspace. However\, the robots used today are controlled by pre-generated rigid codes that cannot support effective human-robot collaboration. In response to this need\, multi-modal yet symbiotic communication and control methods have been developed. These methods include voice processing\, gesture recognition\, haptic interaction\, and brainwave perception. Deep learning is used for classification\, recognition and context awareness identification. Within this context\, this seminar provides an overview of the current status of human-robot collaboration including its classification\, definition and characteristics. At the end of the seminar\, remaining challenges and future research directions will be highlighted.\n\nSpeaker Bio\nLihui Wang is a Chair Professor of Sustainable Manufacturing at KTH Royal Institute of Technology\, Sweden.

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.

Decomposing a National Language: Pluralism and the Origins of the Vietnamese Language DESCRIPTION:By the 1930s\, the Vietnamese vernacular language had unquestionably come to be viewed as the national language of Vietnam\, and the primary medium of anticolonial intellectuality. Nationalist thought\, which fueled the anticolonial movement\, quickly settled on a narrative—patterned after French nationalism—enshrining the Vietnamese language as a kind of ancient vessel of Vietnamese identity\, a thread that bound contemporary Vietnamese all the back to an imagined pre-Sinitic past. However\, a closer look at both the social and linguistic history of Vietnam reveals an intensely alloyed and mosaic formation of the Vietnamese language—one intimately bound up with a form of Chinese that was also native to the region. In this talk we will explore the linguistic origins of the Vietnamese language\, and discuss how these origins challenge and complicate modern nationalist conceptualizations of language and culture in Vietnam.\n \n John Phan completed his Ph.D. at Cornell University in East Asian Literature and Linguistics. After graduating at the end of 2012\, he spent two years as a JSPS post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Comparative Linguistics at the National Institute for Japanese Language & Linguistics in Tachikawa\, Tokyo. Upon returning to the States\, Dr. Phan taught for three years at Rutgers University\, before accepting a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor of Vietnamese Humanities in the Department of East Asian Languages & Cultures at Columbia University. He is currently completing his first book focusing on the history of Sino-Vietic linguistic contact\, and is cocurrently working on the emergence of vernacular literary practice in medieval Vietnam. In addition to the nature of linguistic contact and broad issues in linguistic change and historical phonology\, he is keenly interested in the cultural and intellectual ramifications of multiple languages coexisting in single East Asian societies\, of linguistic pluralism in general\, and of the transformation of oral languages into written literary mediums in historically diglossic cultures of East and Southeast Asia. His current work focuses largely on the rise of the vernacular Vietnamese script known as Chữ Nôm\, and its development alongside a sustained and flourishing tradition of Literary Chinese composition.\n\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.

This asks the question\, with all this power why would a leader ever relinquish their position? Little work has looked comparatively at why leaders step down from office due to data limitations. We contribute to the literature on party politics and leader tenure by providing a new dataset of leadership changes in advanced industrial democracies from 1960-2017. This dataset includes approximately 1\,400 party leaders\, and it codes why leaders step down using primary and secondary sources. With these original data\, we investigate the drivers of leadership change across time and space. We find that electoral loss and intra-party ousting are the most common forms of leadership change\, suggesting that voters and party members have effective power to check leaders. Even though we analyze cases with different party systems and institutions our findings suggest similar outcomes. A leader’s survival is contingent on party member and voter support. We test the relationship between vote loss\, incumbency status\, and leadership change to understand the role of external drivers on party organization. This new data provides a unique tool for understanding party organization more broadly.\n\nJulia Maynard is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Michigan. She studies party politics and voting behavior mostly within the context of European Politics. Her interests are within the dynamics of mainstream parties and niche parties- how these parties react to each other as well as reasons why voters would choose one over the other.\n\nThe Interdisciplinary Workshop in Comparative Politics (IWCP) provides a platform for sharing and improving research that provides comparative perspectives on the causes and effects of political and economic processes.

In this talk I present new work on boundedly rational ethical decisions in which we show empirically that patterns of so-called contextual preference reversals that arise in economic and other domains also arise in problems involving choice among disaster rescue plans with different probabilistic outcomes for saving lives. These reversals are widely understood to challenge characterizations of human decision making grounded in rational choice theory\, but recent theoretical work (Howes et al.\, 2016) demonstrates how they arise from an agent making expected utility-maximizing choices in the face of perceptual and cognitive bounds. We show that this general theory extends naturally to our new empirical paradigm\, demonstrating the possibility of rigorous accounts of bounded rationality in ethical domains. I will also preview new empirical work that uses process-tracing methods to investigate decision strategies in a domain based on a complex real-world legal decision problem: setting bail.

C.\, & N. Tokowicz\, 2014)\, bilingualism (Silva-Corvalán\, 1994\; Toribio\, 2004)\, trilingualism (Rothman\, 2010\, 2015\; Rothman & Cabrelli Amaro\, 2010\; Rothman et al.\, 2015) or multilingualism leading to language creation (Rougé\, 1986\; Kihm\, 1990\; Corne\, 1999)\, it is often (but not always!) the case that the features that the languages in contact have in common promote acquisition or language creation. More precisely\, the phonemes\, morphemes\, lexemes or syntactic structures that speakers perceive as being similar in the languages in contact\, what we will call here\, congruent features or domains\, are likely to be acquired more easily in L2 (or L3/L4...) or are more likely to contribute to the grammatical make-up (and lexicon) of the emerging language in the case of creole genesis.\n\nThis paper represents a first step in a long-term research program exploring how new languages emerge in a multilingual setting. It examines the role of convergence in Creole formation and development\, using a competition and selection framework. Specifically\, it illustrates how morphosyntactic and semantic features are more likely to be selected into the grammatical makeup of a given Creole when they preexist and are shared by some of the source languages present in its linguistic ecology. This is empirically supported in this paper by numerous case studies and a survey of congruent features in 20 contact languages across 19 grammatical and lexical domains. In order to show how convergence operates\, I propose an algorithm and a model of matter and pattern mapping\, adapted to the multilingual setting in which Creole languages emerge. In addition to a set of variables\, the model includes both the linguistic ecology (linguistic factors) and speakers' attitudes (non-linguistic factors) (Thomason\, 2001) to predict (in a non-deterministic fashion) the features that are more likely to win within a competition and selection framework (Mufwene\, 2001). It shows that even when a given feature is traceable to two or more sources\, it readily diverges from the original sources and is innovative. The paper also explores cases where convergence does not take place and examines the conditions underlying such outcome.

He marked the beginning of what was expected to be a grand experiment. Winthrop rightly anticipated that the colonial endeavors unfolding in North America presented a chance for self-determination\, collective identity\, and industriousness. And yet\, he could not have conceived of the legacy of that experiment or the challenges that would come with it. In this study group\, we will explore how diverse writers represented\, challenged\, and helped to create the dominant cultural narratives that remain influential in our nation today. We will read (in the following order): Charles Brockden Brown’s Wieland\, Susanna Rowson’s Charlotte Temple\, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables\, Herman Melville’s Benito Cereno\, Frank Norris’s McTeague\, and John Niehardt’s Black Elk Speaks.

Conflicting results have been presented at both local and global scales arguing for either clear coupling between climate and tectonics or a complete dominance of tectonics. Ultimately\, careful analysis of the details of the nebulously defined ‘climate’\, structural geometries\, and topography (as this serves as the interface between tectonic and surface processes) are required to resolve these issues. Here I present a case study of an active collisional orogen\, the Greater Caucasus\, where gradients in both climate and tectonics do not appear to be reflected in the topography\, suggesting that this area may have a lot to teach us about the more general question. In detail\, the Greater Caucasus mountains are a young (~5 Ma)\, active orogenic system that is the current locus of NE-SW convergence within the central Arabia-Eurasia collision zone. Importantly\, the orogen is characterized by a variety of NW-SE\, along-strike gradients including an order of magnitude eastward decrease in mean annual precipitation from ~2 to ~0.5 m/yr and an order of magnitude eastward increase in geodetic shortening velocity from ~2 to ~12 mm/yr. Despite these gradients\, the topography of the range is surprisingly similar along-strike which suggests: (1) broadly similar rates of rock uplift\, and (2) very limited influence of precipitation on the topography of the range. However\, this hypothesis is predicated on the existence of a single relationship between topography and uplift/erosion rate. Here we test this assumption with a new suite of erosion rates estimated from catchment averaged 10Be inventories along the southern range front of the GC. Erosion rates range from 30-5600 m/Myr with the majority of rates being below 2000 m/Myr. Our results are consistent with a single relationship between erosion rate and topography as quantified by normalized channel steepness (ksn). These data also indicate a strongly non-linear relationship between ksn and erosion rate such that topography seem insensitive to increases in erosion rate beyond ~500 m/Myr. There is limited evidence of any influence of mean precipitation on either the topography or the erosion rates of the GC. We hypothesize that this lack of sensitivity to mean precipitation and the related non-linearity in the ksn - erosion rate relationship may be linked to the extremely low variability in runoff observed in gauged basins throughout the region\, a hypothesis consistent with theoretical expectations of a stochastic threshold incision model. Spatial patterns in 10Be erosion rates largely mirror those observed in a suite of available bedrock low-temperature thermochronologic cooling ages and new detrital zircon (U-Th)/He ages\, i.e. areas with high erosion rates generally have young cooling ages and total amounts of exhumation seem largely constant along-strike within the range\, suggesting that this pattern is long-lived. More broadly\, the results from the Caucasus reflect that local nuances in both the climate and tectonics are essential for understanding the potential for (or lack of) coupling between surface processes and tectonics.

But\,\n\nHow did solar become inexpensive? And why did it take so long?\nAs a 2017 Andrew Carnegie Fellow I had the opportunity to dive deeply into these questions\, drawing on new data sets\, analyses\, and interviewing 75 individuals in 18 countries. The concept of National Innovation Systems provides a theoretical structure for this assessment and helps explain that PV’s success has been the result of distinct contributions mainly by the US\, Japan\, Germany\, Australia\, and China—in that sequence. Flows of knowledge from one country to another—often embodied in equipment\, and also as tacit knowledge in the heads of internationally mobile individuals—have been central to solar’s progress. One payoff from understanding the reasons for solar’s success is that it can serve as a model for other low-carbon technologies. I focus on direct air carbon capture and small nuclear reactors. However other technologies would have to progress much faster than PV to be helpful for climate change. Possible approaches for accelerating innovation include: dynamic R&D foci\, codification of knowledge\, public procurement\, robust markets\, enhancing knowledge mobility\, and addressing political economy considerations. \n\nSpeaker: Professor Gregory F. Nemet\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\nGregory Nemet is a Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in the La Follette School of Public Affairs. He teaches courses in policy analysis\, energy systems\, and international environmental policy. Nemet's research focuses on understanding the process of technological change and the ways in which public policy can affect it. He received his doctorate in energy and resources from the University of California\, Berkeley. His A.B. is in geography and economics from Dartmouth College. He received an Andrew Carnegie Fellowship in 2017 and used it to write a book on how solar PV provides lessons for the development of other low-carbon technologies: “How Solar Energy Became Cheap: A Model for Low-Carbon Innovation” (Routledge 2019). He was awarded the inaugural World Citizen Prize in Environmental Performance by APPAM in 2019. He is currently a Lead Author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 6th Assessment Report.
